About this property

Melelina Hale Large four bedroom with pool, ocean views, and AC!

Perfect for families! This house has four bedrooms and four bathrooms, two living areas, two dining areas, and TWO covered lanais. Enough room for everyone to have some space! Check out the new kitchen! New cabinets, granite counter tops, and stainless steel appliances.

Located on the gentle slope of Hualalai, just enough elevation to feel the cooling afternoon breezes.

Imagine relaxing by the pool listening to the soothing waterfall. You can grill up that local fish and dine outside in the gazebo. Your senses will enjoy the lovely yard with tropical flowers and plants.

Time for sunset? Grab your traditional sunset cocktail and relax while soaking up the beautiful ocean views from your TWO lanais.

Only five minutes to Kailua town, full of shopping and great restaurants, and even closer for groceries and the health food store.

You may just stay by the pool all day, but if you do decide to go to the beach we have lots of toys, towels, beach chairs, and coolers for you to use.

The house was wonderful! We were all impressed by how clean it was. There was enough space for our whole family to spread out and be comfortable. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed. We sat up on the balcony every night and watched beautiful sunsets. The best part of the house was the pool. The kids wanted to spend their whole vacation in it. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Hawaiian getaway

Had an incredible stay at a little piece of paradise. This home has an amazing location and beautifully decorated. The home is well stocked with everything you can think of. It has so many rooms inside and out for private space but also many rooms to gather many and enjoy. Rachel is fantastic and made sure our stay was perfect. The welcoming basket of treats was so amazing after a long flight. We LOVED our stay and can’t wait to be back!!

Great place for 2 families

This property was perfect for us. We were 2 families with children (8 people total) and there was so much room for us to spread out. The house was way bigger than we expected! The location was great, close to all Kona has to offer but in a quiet neighbourhood. We used all the pool toys, beach toys, snorkel gear and the coolers were so awesome to pack lunches for days we decided to venture out and explore the island. The kitchen was incredibly well appointed - we had everything we needed to cook most of our meals at home. Amazing place, would definitely choose Rachel’s property again!

Amazing private oasis

We had an amazing time at this house. I can’t say enough good things. This is the most well equipped rental I’ve ever stayed in. They have everything from condiments, cooking supplies, toiletries, hair dryer, laundry detergent, pack n play, high chair, stroller, beach toys, snorkels/masks/fins (a bucket full). Rachel is also very responsive, the beds are comfy and there is plenty of room for people to spread out on 3 different lanai’s. Thank you so much for having us!!

Tropical Paradise!

Melelina Hale was the perfect getaway location for our little extended family. Pictures of the home on the VRBO website did not disappoint. Plenty of space for all to gather together or to find a quiet area to relax and read. Host Rachel quickly responded to any questions or concerns. The house was well stocked with necessities which was so appreciated. We are already missing sunsets on the lanai! Mahalo Rachel

Hawaii Home

Melelina Hale is a home away form home. The listing for this house is precise and the host, Rachel, is exceptional. The home is equipped with the essentials plus more and the space was ample. We were able to make dinners at the house as desired. The days we did not travel or go to a beach, we stayed at the house and enjoyed the outdoor pool area. The home met all of our needs and was very comfortable. We traveled from Western New York and our frends were from France. Our European friends have stayed with us at VRBO/vacation homes in the past and this by far was the best!

Excellent house in Kona!

The pictures do not do it justice, the house was much nicer and larger than we expected! Very, very clean and everything was top notch. There is definitely plenty of room in this house for multiple families. My only nit-pick is the Wi-Fi was pretty awful, do not plan to work remotely from the house - I suspect this is mostly due to the 10+ year old WiFi router. However, everything else exceeded expectations and we would definitely rent this place again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful Home, Wondeful Stay

WOW....this house is amazing. We walked in and were overwhelmed by it's size and beautiful it was. This fit our family perfectly from a main floor bedroom for my elderly dad to lots of space upstairs for all the other family members. We hosted a small get together for my son who got married in Kona, and the house easily accommodated everyone! From an extra fridge in the garage to a shower off the pool, full size washer and dryer, this house met every need. We would definitely rent this again and Rachel was super easy to work with :) Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Felt like home in paradise

We just got home and our family expressed how much they had missed our time spent in the house! The house revealed itself as immaculate and significantly more spacious in person, surpassing what the pictures had portrayed. The kitchen proved to be equipped with an extensive array of cookware, dishes, utensils, along with a well-stocked selection of ingredients and spices, perfectly accommodating our large family’s culinary needs. The dual balconies offered breathtaking views of the ocean and the sunset, a sight that truly left us in awe. Situated conveniently close to the beaches, shopping outlets, restaurants, as well as major stores like Costco and Walmart, the location couldn’t have been more ideal. Our arrival was greeted with delightful assortment of our favorite fruits including avocados, papayas, and pineapple. Even during our exploration of other parts of the island, my family’s desire to return early to enjoy the house’s pool. Rachel, we want to convey our sincere gratitude for your generosity and in accommodating our early arrival. We eagerly look forward to more extended stay at your home when we revisit Kona. Thank you for a memorable family vacation experience!

Wonderful vacay!

We had such a great time on our vacation and staying at Melelina Hale was so convenient. We loved the 2pm check-in which allowed us to get in as soon as our flight landed. There was plenty of room for our 8-person group (3 adults, 4 teenagers, 1 child). In fact, the house was so spacious that we really needed to search to find the kids ;) We spent many evenings watching the sunset from the lanai. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook meals from home. We didn't get to enjoy the backyard as much as we wanted, but the pool was spacious and we saw many critters (gecko lizards and a couple of turkeys). The house doesn't have a lot of TVs...only one in the main living area and in the master bedroom - so if you have a group that likes to watch a lot of TV then this might not be for you (although we didn't have that problem). The house was centrally located to all the great places in Kona and just a short 1.5 hour drive to the other side of the island. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Donnell

Host profile image
We purchased this beautiful home so we can come together with all our families and enjoy quality time together. And of course, the kids love the pool!

Why they chose this property

This house is in a great neighborhood on a corner lot. So close to town, yet has such a private feeling that you can't get with a condominium. A perfect combination!

What makes this property unique

Whether it is sitting by the pool watching the kids play or relaxing on the lanais with the beautiful ocean views, there is a true feeling of Hawaii.
