"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.

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.

Beautiful place

We loved our time at the Hale Maluhia. It was spotlessly clean, fully equipped and very comfortable. It was a pleasure meeting Daniel he always communicated well and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The view off the back lanai is amazing! I would definitely stay here again.

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.

Great place for two

The property was clean and had high quality finishes. We stayed for 6 nights and it worked out great. It’s away from the main drag so you get the quiet and privacy but close enough that you can be in Kona in a few minutes drive. Esther was great, good communication and very helpful with questions.

A sanctuary to retreat to after a day exploring

Fabulous location so peaceful with elevated views and all the comforts of home. We felt so relaxed coming back after each day of exploring the big island to pour a drink and relax on the lanai cook on the bbq and sleep so soundly with the doors open. All the extras provided such as beach chairs snorkelling gear beach towels sunblock were so very much appreciated, we would highly recommend this wee gem as your stay on the big island..Mahalo

Cozy / up on hill

Everything was perfect. The property is quaint and for 1-2 people unit has everything, including beautiful sunsets. This is for nature types — birds and frogs chirping in morning and evenings, but really peaceful, but if that’s not your thing (ie sleeping in late), then you may want a hotel room. Hosts were awesome.

This was our second time visiting and we loved it just as much as our first. The property is clean and well appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Communicating with Esther was easy and she was quick to respond. Our absolute favorite part is the beautiful view from lanai. We highly recommend Esther’s cottage and hope to return again!
