Experience the exhilarating sounds of the ocean just outside your door at Mahina Meli Makai ("Oceanside Honeymoon"), a charming one-bedroom cottage where you'll spend each night taking in the colorful sunsets from the lanai.
This recently remodeled residence is a true oceanfront property and fully equipped with every comfort and convenience. From its unique island-inspired decor to its proximity to the beautiful Pacific Ocean, Mahina Meli Makai is the ideal place to spend your tropical vacation.
You'll be inspired the moment you enter the Mahina Meli Makai. In addition to a festive mural, the living room is furnished with comfortable seating, flatscreen TV and spectacular views of the ocean. Relax and unwind inside, or stroll outside to the furnished lanai and listen to the sound of the waves just below.
The kitchen at Mahina Meli Makai has been beautifully remodeled with new wood cabinetry and granite countertops. Furnished with all large appliances as well as a variety of culinary essentials, the kitchen has everything you need to prepare your favorite meal. Brew a delicious cup of Kona coffee and head outside to the lanai where you can spot whales (when in season) and dolphins in the ocean just beyond.
When you're ready for a peaceful night of rest, the primary bedroom provides an inviting retreat. Sleep with the windows open in this cozy ocean view room, where the sounds of the waves will lull you into a relaxing sleep. The primary bedroom is furnished with a plush California King bed, a ceiling fan and a large flatscreen TV. A small built-in desk allows space for work, or for writing postcards to your friends and family to share with them the beauty of Mahina Meli Makai.

Outdoors at Mahina Meli Makai you'll find tropical beauty everywhere you look. Relax on the oversized lanai which is furnished with chaise lounges and ample seating. The lanai is the perfect spot for sunning, or for hosting an al fresco dinner party for your family and friends. Just a few steps down the shoreline is Kahalu'u Beach State Park, which is known for its encounters with the majestic Hawaiian Sea Turtles.
Mahina Meli Makai is a ten-minute drive to downtown Kailua-Kona, where you'll find a variety of things to do and see. You'll love exploring the area and its many significant Hawaiian cultural landmarks. Both the Hulihee Palace and the Mokuaikaua Church are located on Ali'i Drive. King Kamehameha I spent his last years living near the current site of what is now the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel, until his passing in 1819. The Ahu'ena Heiau, located on the grounds of the hotel, is a reconstructed temple rebuilt by the late king and is on the register of National Historic Landmarks.
People and cruise ships watch from the Kailua-Kona Pier, where you'll have access to Hawaii's best scuba diving, big-game fishing, kayaking, and dolphin and whale watching. Visit the famous farmers market. Enjoy a shave ice or a cup of Kona coffee. Dine on a light snack or a gourmet meal, buy an inexpensive souvenir or a piece of fine art, book an activity, go for a swim or hang out at the beach. The pier is the official starting and finishing point of the Ironman World Championship (held annually in October), and a great place to watch the sunset. Everything you want and need is readily available in the heart of Kailua Kona town!
Mahina Meli Makai is a beautiful oceanfront cottage and a great home base to explore the many natural wonders of the Big Island.

This places is absolutely amazing!!!
by Liz DThis places is absolutely amazing!!! The view alone is to die for and is close to so many things. The house is super cute and has more than enough stuff to accommodate you. Would highly recommend and would definitely come back again!! Loved this place!!

This is a gorgeous location with epic sunsets you can enjoy right from the balcony
by Marcelo DThis is a gorgeous location with epic sunsets you can enjoy right from the balcony. The property is quite literally on the water, so expect sublime views and the deafening sounds of crashing waves. The property can be somewhat hot and muggy indoors despite the constant sea breeze. Fans are available and definitely required for a comfortable night’s sleep. Lots of bugs here despite the numerous roach and ant traps, but that’s to be expected given the proximity to the ocean. The kitchen was excellently stocked. The proximity to shops and restaurants in Kona are a huge plus. Overall a lovely stay.

Perfect place to kick back and feel at home
by Mark SThe checkin process was exchanging COVID vaccination information and getting the key code. Once I we unpacked and got groceries we felt like we were at home. The place was clean, safe and private. The TV broke and was replaced in less than 24 hours ! Great trip ! First in 1.5 years and would do it again in a heartbeat. The waves lulled us to sleep every night.

Ocean front gem!!
by Amy LWe loved staying at this cottage. The lanai hangs right over the ocean - listening the the crashing waves and seeing the beautiful sunsets every night. Our favorite part was watching the surfers out in the bay and walking right the best snorkel beach on the island.

Great for couples
by Scott SThis property was great but not without it's issues that can be overlooked by the absolutely FANTASTIC views, sounds and vibes. When we arrived, the house was HOT, opened all the windows and doors and within 10 minutes the house was at a reasonable temp. Great location. 10/10 would stay again.

A month plus at The Cottage
by Stayed 14 Days in April 2019 past guest
My wife and I have been staying at The Cottage for many years now and have viewed the transition from a Rustic Cottage with a Tepid Tub in the Side Yard to its present status. There is now a Fire Pit where the Tepid Tub was located. The installation of new windows, doors, Counters and a large Shower have made a wonderful place even more magnificent.

A rare gem.
by Stayed 14 Days in February 2019 past guest
We had two weeks at the cottage. The premise is beautifully located and is walking distancet to some best snorkeling we found. There is a lovely surf break right outside the door. The frontage is outstanding and generous, the parking is good by Big Island standards. We found the property ideal for two people. A small family might also work, keeping in mind activities for small children are limited. This experience is more rustic than the average condo rental and therefore much closer to natural Hawaii. If you are squeamish about the occasional insect this property is not for you. There was a severe storm in Hawaii at the time of our stay and this property is as close to ocean as you can get without swimming. We took extra precautions during the storm to protect the property and consequently were unscathed . It added to the interest and excitement. We loved this stay as it suits our more adventurous side.

Super Quaint Cottage

Paradise on the surf lagoon
by Stayed 6 Days in July 2018 past guest
What can I say, this place is the PERFECT oceanside beach house for a visit to the Kona area! We had never been to Hawaii before so felt blind to our choice when selecting a place to stay, but we feel like we could not have picked a better spot. This house is accessible, charming, breezy and within walking distance to an amazing beach and snorkel spot. We would wake each morning, brew local coffee and watch the waves crash on the rocks below our deck as the morning surfers came in for their early sessions. It was perfect. It always felt like home after a long day exploring the island and we can't wait to return! Also, the staff at Boundless Hawaii were an incredible help whenever we had a question leading up to the trip. I can not recommend this house enough!

Tropical cottage life on the ocean
by Stayed 5 Days in November 2017 past guest
It's easy to drive by but easy to find. A fenced and private cottage right on the water. Parking was easy just outside the fence and there was never an issue with the one or two locals who occassionally walked by the car and then slipped through the vegetation between the properties to go surfing. The sound of the surf was terrific and evry morning we awoke with a view over the ocean.Home was a perfect size for a couple. Kitchen had everything you need and there was a functional propane BBQ with lots of gas. Never got to use fire pit but looks like it would be a fun evening hangout with friends. Its tropical so expect a few small bugs but just keep screen doors closed. Few minor maintenance issues but you will get that located right in the spray zone - especially when the ocean gets lively. Easy ok snorkelling and beach entry less than 100m. At this time of year easy to cool home down with breezes from all directions but don't expect bone chilling AC. Great location and mangement support.

Great location, can't get closers to the ocean
by Stayed 6 Days in September 2017 past guest
Our stay at the cottage was wonderfull. We stayed a week there after 4 days in Honolulu. This stay was so much more refreshing tan Waikiki. Glad we ended our Hawaii Vacation here. The home was clean and a fun layout. It had all the necessities. It's close to the center of Kona, but not too close. The last few days the waves were big and it got the deck a little wet, but nothing to worry about. I wish the home had air conditioning. It is so humid here, and being from idaho,where it's dry, I never completely got used to it. It would have been nice to have a cool spot to come to. Thank heavens for the ocean breeze, and fans. I would try a different time of year next time, that's not quite so hot. The island and Kona were wonderful and so much to see. We have to plan another stay on big island, and when we do, we'll stay here again. Thank you Boundless Hawaii for making this a great place to stayou. The Kona coffee on the deck in morning, I will think of ever time I have a cup of Joe at home. ALOHA!!

Perfection!
by Stayed 5 Days in August 2017 past guest
The cottage was perfect! My husband and myself spent five beautiful days here. Watching sunsets and having wonderful meals on the deck. It felt like our honeymoon all over again, but maybe even better. Kona is stunning and the cottage made the experience that much better. A vacation we will never forget! Thank you to the cottage owners for sharing your beautiful home.

by Stayed 3 Days in May 2017 past guest
This was a great place to stay. Beautiful sunsets, quiet, relaxing. The first night was a little warm without air conditioning, but we found the fans hiding in the closet and after that it was much more pleasant. If we're ever back on the big island, we will be staying here!

A 2 person house literally right on the ocean
by Stayed 4 Days in January 2017 past guest
I actually hate to review this place so positively because I want to be able to stay here again and not compete to find open slots! However if you are a couple or single person and really enjoy the ocean right at your door, this is the place. Location is excellent for snorkeling and surfing. Rent bikes and the rest of the island is yours. Place is not fancy, but the doors open right onto the water. The surf crashes below your balcony. It does get hot though during the afternoon - the western sun pounds in. But in the morning and at night it is heaven.

A much needed vacation
by Stayed 7 Days in September 2016 past guest
The House was very clean and smelled good upon our arrival. All the necessities we needed were there. The only issue we had was no A/C made for some uncomfortable nights sleeping. The views are beautiful and the house offers multiple places to sit and relax. All and all we enjoyed are week long stay here and would recommend it to anyone who can live without A/C. Thanks for all your accommodations, Sam and Stacy

Great quirky little find on the Big Island
by Stayed 5 Days in April 2016 past guest
My wife and I stayed here for a wedding in April 2016. This place is a nice, quirky little cottage right over the water. It has all the features and amenities you'd need for a great stay. On arrival everything was clean, working and as per the description. A few things to note: It's about 15min drive from Kona (town) It's a 2min drive to the local grocery store It's a 5min walk to the nearest beach park There is a surf break right out front, so when there's waves there will be quite a few cars parked around the property and surfers getting in/out of the water right below the balcony. There's only a door on one entrance to the bathroom, the 2nd entrance has only a curtain (right next to the toilet). Yes... there's some cockroaches, but the management has baits all around and most of them are dead or dying. It's not 'coz the place is not cleaned - it's because the place is right over the waterfront rocks. We get them in our beach house as well. The property managers did a great job with the pre-arrival info. Overall, this place was a great find and certainly better than a Condo or Hotel.

Oceanfront Cottage in Kona
by Stayed 14 Days in February 2017 past guest
We stayed at the Oceanfront Honeymoon Cottage for two weeks in February. Always nice to escape the wet Oregon weather. We found the Cottage to be perfect for our needs. Right on the ocean adjacient to the best surfing beach in Kona so we could be entertained anytime of the day. The Cottage itself was a great location on Alii Drive. Close enough to Kona Town but far enough away to be peaceful. We would recommend the Cottage. Bob & Kori

Good way to end our honeymoon
by Stayed 3 Days in July 2015 past guest
The location was great. We were able to walk down to the bay each morning and snorkel. Believe we saw more fish/eel/sea turtles there than anywhere on Kauai or Hilo. The waves at night can sometimes wake you up during your slumber but easy to go right back to bed. They had surfboard, noodles and beach towels helped out. I would def stay in that area again.

The Location of this cottage was AMAZING! The online pictures are accurate... being on the lanai with the ocean literally 10 fee
by Stayed 7 Days in November 2014 past guest
This place is amazing! Accordion doors that open up to the ocean in both the family room (to the deck) and the bedroom. We left the accordion doors open every night to feel the cool ocean breeze and hear that beautiful sound put us to sleep and wake us up every morning! The outside deck area has a hammock, lawn chairs, and a fire pit, all strategically placed to see the most amazing sunset. We made it a point to be there every evening to watch the sun slowly fade into the horizon. The kitchen is perfectly sized for two and has all the necessary pieces to cook great meals while there. And the place, while in plain view to the surfers from the ocean, is very private and fenced off from Ali'i drive. Wonderful place. Loved every moment of staying there. Perfect for a couple looking to get away! Finally, the management company was very helpful in answering questions before booking, providing the needed info to get into the place, and even in following up after we arrived to make sure everything was okay. Amazing experience for us for the 7 days we spent in Kona!

Amazing Ocean View
by Stayed 7 Days in March 2013 past guest
The Location of this cottage was AMAZING! The online pictures are accurate... being on the lanai with the ocean literally 10 feet away 24/7 was a major highlight of our vacation. The cottage is very close to the Turtle beach and great snorkeling. We saw a whale and some dolphins from the Lanai as well as many surfers who were present promptly at sun rise until the last drop of sun was set. The Cottage was broom clean accept for the bugs and geckos you find everywhere in HI. Repairs are needed as this place was built in the 60's and when they say "starter supplies" they mean one roll of toilet paper and a few garbage bags, so prepare to shop. Overall, we would love to go back and we would recommend this place to our friends but be prepared for a rustic and no frills stay (as they posted this is NOT a hotel). It's all about the location, location, location at the cottage.

We expected "The Cottage" to be a little funkier than it was. It's clean and had everything we needed to make meals, grill outside, and enjoy the Pacific right at our feet. The location is great - walk to snorkeling and beach. Surfers are always riding in front of the cottage. Most of the ocean-side wall opens up, floor to ceiling.

Lovely little cottage by the sea - perfect for a couple. The views of Kahaluu bay are great - saw an Orca breeching, schools of dolphins swimming past, and great sunsets. The house itself was clean - it is approaching readiness for some improvements, but all in all a good value.

Oceanfront Alii house - Very nice
by Stayed 5 Days in February 2012 past guest
The structure is ON the ocean, in fact the waves wash against the building's lanai foundation. It is next to a great beach, snorkel area, and popular surfing spot. The surfers sometimes launch from the rocks in front of the house, and occasional fishermen using the rocks, too. House seemed a bit 'tired' but in good shape. We appreciated use of the outdoor grill. Access is off a busy street, but there is parking on the street and room for one car in an off-street alcove at the edge of the property. There is a fence between the road and house, so it doesn't have excessive road noise inside the house. Street is quiet at night. There is a section of wall made of folding doors that can be opened between the living room and the lanai overlooking the ocean. These doors are not easy to operate, but do provide a wide-open feeling between indoors and outdoors. If updating, we'd suggest a small indoor dining table and replace the sliding wall leading to the lanai with something more user-friendly and perhaps sound-deadening. Overall it was a very nice place.

Right on the water!
by Stayed 11 Days in December 2011 past guest
The location was absolutely fantastic! We loved watching the surfers and saw turtles and marlin from our deck, which was not near, but over the water! The only problem was that there are no screens. We learned how to cope rather easily though. Overall we loved the Cottage. We will be back.

by Stayed 6 Days in October 2011 past guest
we really needed a break and this was a perfect location for us. Everything we needed was on site, and we rented snorkels and masks across the street. turtles abound. Surfers are very fun to watch and they love the waves in front of the cottage. If you want to be in the presence of the ocean, this is perfect.

Our Hawaiian Getaway
by Stayed 7 Days in March 2011 past guest
Aloha from the West Coast of British Columbia! The Cottage was the perfect little getaway if you like being right on the ocean. You have to like hearing the crashing of the waves for sure - and we do! From the lanai watching the surfers trying to conquer the might seas is a great theraputic way to get rid of the city hum-drums! The only "issue" we encountered was the broken coffee pot! Always a city dweller, the first morning was a little rough until Walmart opened and we purchased a new coffee pot. Java is on us! We are hoping to make the Cottage our yearly retreat. Mahalo !!!

This property is in the best location with waves lapping onto rocks below the lanai and beautiful sunsets ! We had an amazing 7 nights here and really enjoyed ourselves - the property could do with a bit of updating and maintenance but we didn't tend to notice due to the amazing location and view. We would highly suggest this property for couples that want a more private honeymoon 🙂

Great location, will book again (if possible after sale)
by Stayed 13 Days in June 2009 past guest
Wasn't aware that the property was for sale when I arrived, with the possibility of clients potentially walking through. Perhaps the addition of an in-house safe would be appropriate for security, as most guests will spend most of their time outdoors while on vacation. I hope this home continues to be available for rent in the future, I would like to return. And, like a ship on the water, there are signs that it needs a little TLC, but nothing that will dissuade my re-booking. Thanks for a great time!

I'd have the owner fix the front gate and the moving wall in the bedroom (especially since it's up for sale). Many light bulbs were out and the switches were a bit hard to figure out, but WOW the location can't be beat, right over the water, a few houses away from a beach with decent snorkeling.

Honeymoon
by Stayed 9 Days in September 2008 past guest
We had an exceptional visit to the Cottage. The tour books were very helpful with getting around. The property was stocked well with dishes and utilities. I would suggest giving instructions for the hot tub with the reminder that the maintenance person comes by on Thursdays. Directions to the nearest grocery store would also have been helpful upon arrival. We would definately recommend this to friends and love to visit again.

Right on the water - great breeze even during the heat of the day, with a fully covered lanai. Front room opens up completely to the lanai and ocean. If you want direct sun, another side area off the bedroom is completely open to the sky (except for palms above) and ocean . Gas grill is great. New tile throughout is great. Kitchen has all the utensils you need. Only bad - place smells very moldy when the doors are closed.

Amazing view and location
by Stayed 4 Days in February 2008 past guest
Waterfront doesn't begin to describe this cottage. At high tide, you feel the spray on the large lanai. The living room doors unfold to make one huge patio, and you can watch and hear the waves from the bedroom and side patio too. Just 2 houses down from a fantastic snorkeling bay w/sea turtles, and from the patio we could enjoy watching dozens of surfers riding the waves there from pre-dawn to nightfall. Absolutely loved it.

A very nice romantic get-a-way for two.
by Stayed 5 Days in January 2008 past guest
My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay at The Cottage. A very charming one bedroom home with a terrific view of the ocean, and surf. If you were any closer, you would be getting wet. Very nice living room, lani and side yard with plenty of chairs, lounges and tables. Just a short walk to Kahalu’u Beach Park with very good snorkeling, swimming and surfing. While the unit was very clean when we arrived, do take advantage of the provided Tupperwear containers for any dry food stuffs. There was evidence of some small four legged visitors during our stay. Overall, very nice. We would gladly stay again.

The cottage was a fantastic retreat. Perfect sunsets and great place if you like the water (you will hear it.).
