Boasting a hot tub, over 2,300 square feet of living space, and panoramic ocean views throughout, an idyllic island retreat await at Mele Kai, a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath getaway located mere steps from the coast. Highlights include a spacious and private primary suite, a gourmet kitchen, and ocean-view alfresco dining. Spend fun-filled days viewing sea turtles at Shipman Beach, sampling the culture and cuisine of nearby Hilo, exploring black sand beaches, or venturing to Hawaii Volcano National Park for an epic geological expedition. At the end of the day, return home to soak in your private hot tub. Unwind into vacation mode under the soaring vaulted ceiling in the living area, furnished with a sofa and two armchairs. In the evening, settle in to enjoy favorite shows on the 60-inch TV. Slide open the glass doors and enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves. Prepare fresh meals in the gourmet kitchen, equipped with granite countertops and a full suite of high-end appliances. While dinner simmers, perch at the island bar with seating for four. When it’s time to eat, gather around the four-person dining table.

This two-story home sleeps six guests in three bedrooms. Find ultimate comfort in the spacious main suite, complete with a stately king bed and walk-in closet, as well as a private lanai with seating for two and panoramic ocean views. The en-suite bathroom is configured with a double vanity and a walk-in shower with custom stonework. The two guest rooms are both furnished with a full-size bed. The guest bathroom includes an enchanting outdoor shower with two showerheads. A half bath provides added convenience. Start the day with fresh Kona coffee and inspiring ocean views on the back lanai. In the evening, dine alfresco at the outdoor table, which seats four comfortably. End the day with a soak in your ocean-view hot tub, located on the screened lanai. Extra perks include complimentary WiFi and a washer/dryer.

Spacious house in a beautiful location
We have stayed here several times. We like that it is easy to walk to the beach park and either go to Maku'u Point along Beach Road and Ala Heiau Road, or to Kaloli Point along Beach Road and Paradise Ala Kai. The house itself is very room and airy, and we like the semi-outdoor shower: the doors add plenty of privacy, and you can get to it from inside. The upstairs shower is nice too, but doesn't have two shower heads.

Overall great stay!
Take note..we would definitely stay here again. Large home well appointed and generally very clean. Pro's..listen to the ocean 24/7, although close to public access, we felt very safe here, and well away from tourist traffic. Cons..its out there a bit, no stores nearby to grab the little things you forgot. Like I said earlier, generally very clean, but we found a big dead bug as we put our bags down when entering the property which taking into consideration where you are, its kind of to be expected. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Custom home in Excellent Location
We loved hearing the Ocean every night. Walk from home to Makuu and Puna Trail for hiking. Walk out backyard to sit on lava with ocean views. Feel lucky to see whales and sea turtles from there. The entire home was perfect especially outdoor and walk in bathrooms. Mahalo Mele Kai.

Really liked this place
The location of this place is great, we love this neighborhood. We first stayed here about 8 years ago. There have been some very nice upgrades to it since then. New mattress, couch, outdoor furniture and ceiling fans. Place was clean, plenty of starter products and toiletries that got us the 2 of us through the week. Sunrises from the lanai were fantastic. Definitely would stay here again.
