About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

"Hale Maluhia" - Cottage with expansive ocean views in central Kailua Kona.

Enjoy our hosted private 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom accommodations. Beautifully detailed with a king size bed, tv, wireless internet, laundry, closet, and large covered lanai. Everything my mom needs for her month long stays with our family!

The large lanai (covered deck) has 2 outdoor seating areas including a BBQ, dining table and chairs. Cool breezes in the evening make it the perfect place to enjoy an ocean view sunset.

This bedroom was built next to our house for my mother to stay several times a year. The details are exquisite; from granite or Koa countertops and shelves, to antique Indonesian doors and artwork by local artists. You will experience Hawaii in its beauty!

The location on our property has gorgeous views of the sweeping valley below all the way to the ocean. It is surrounded by lush greenery and is only minutes to Kailua Kona town or historic Holualoa.

We welcome you to this peaceful place to enjoy Hawaii.

From the minute we arrived at this charming, well-kept cottage, we knew we had lucked out. The view is stunning—and my husband and I spent some of the happiest hours of our trip sitting on the deck, sipping Kona coffee (thank you, Esther!), and listening to birdsong.

Fantastic stay!

What a beautiful and relaxing place to stay! The view was spectacular and the back deck was perfect for meals, working or just relaxing. It was great to stay in a neighborhood a little bit away from the main resorts and hotels. Owner was very kind to let us check in early due to a flight change too. We would definitely return!

Great place to stay on the Big Island

My wife and I loved this place. It was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location is easily accessible in the hills just above Kona with a beautiful view from the lanai. Very homey and just the right size for two people. If we someday return to the Big Island this is where we would stay.

Everything we needed in an excellent location

The cottage is modern and very cute, and it had all the amenities we needed. The location is perfect! It feels quiet and has great views, but is just minutes away from shops and restaurants. The owner was quick to respond to any questions, although during the stay, we really didn’t have any questions, because we had everything we needed. I highly recommend!

Perfect location

This house is perfect for one or two people. Great views from the lanai. We love being a little up on the mountain where it is a little cooler and you get such beautiful views. It does not take long to be at the beach, stores or restaurants. The house was really clean and Esther was the perfect host. Great place for a Kona get away.
