The host was nice and had everything we needed to prep some of our own food to save money. The outdoor space was a nice place to spend the afternoon and the pool was clean and cooling. They had all the beach essentials like chairs, umbrellas, and gear for the ocean. Would definitely stay there again.

Tranquil Paradise

My husband and I spent a week here and loved every day of our stay. The pictures do not do the outdoor spaces justice - the pool area is expansive and perfect for sunbathing and taking in the sights of the coast below you. Melia was a generous and gracious host and even went so far as to leave us a gift to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a rental in the Kona area.

First Trip to Hawaii

I would like to thank Melia, Sam, Luke and Chad. Such great hosts. We had a last minute check in issue and they were more than helpful with the change. the location was perfect for us. We had plans to visit most of the Island and this was a very central starting point. The home was stocked with all that we needed including coffee for our first morning. (which was needed. LOL) The view was awesome! Hope to be back. Aloha!

A Piece of Paradise

We have been to the island many times and usually stay in the heart of Kailua Kona, but we decided to change it up this trip. We are so happy we did! The location of this property is fantastic. You are so close to Kona, Costco, the upper highway and the beaches. The rental was so incredibly well equipped with everything you could could need. We loved that after a day on the beach that we could go back and the temperature is cooler. The views from the lanai are amazing. We could see the whales from there. Melia and Sam were great hosts. They are so nice and personable. They fresh fruit was great too! This is really a fantastic spot to relax and recharge! The pictures don’t do it justice! We will definitely be back to this property!

Dreamy, beautiful place

You could not imagine a more lovely place and more wonderful host than Melia and her home. The pictures simply do not do justice to the magnitude of the beauty. We awoke every morning and had coffee as we gazed at the Pacific, listening to a symphony of birds (and thankfully, far fewer roosters than most other places we have stayed). Melia has a really genuine and warm sense of hospitality, and you feel this at a human level and also in what a generous and thoughtful host she is. The place itself is really, really nice, has everything you need and has *nice* things - like fluffy towels and nice sheets and great cooking gear. She also has everything you need for the beach, and the place is only 20 minutes from our favorite beach. Also 20 minutes from hiking in the cloud forest. And if you don’t want to go anywhere, you can hang out on the lanai and enjoy the incredible pool, and views. We will most certainly be back - to see Melia again (and her sweet little dog) and because this is a fantastic place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Melia Scranton

Host profile image
I grew up in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. Since leaving for college, I always hoped to one day return to my favorite island- the BIG ISLAND!
So now we have this home to share and hope you'll love it as much as we do.
I have 4 grown children and retired from teaching at the elementary school level in Multi-Arts...visual art, vocal music, theater and dance.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because of the breezes and the sweeping view of the coast. It was quiet, convenient and a lovely new development.

What makes this property unique

It is so close to the airport (down the hill by 7 min) and so close to Costco (7 min.) and to Kailua- Kona. Up near the Mamalahoa Hwy., it is convenient to go to Waimea/Kamuela or over to the Hilo side. The beaches are all close!
