The convenience of nearby shopping, gas, dining, and community library/clubhouse?
Then this might be the perfect spot for you to enjoy your stay in paradise!
Located 45 m. from Kona and 60 m. from Hilo... : We offer the wonderful experience of ''Old Hawaii'' with its serenity, quiet, and charm. In addition, we are ideally located to allow you to explore both sides of the Big Island. A five minute trip up to the highway takes you to the growing town of Ocean View, with its opportunities for shopping, dining, and an active community center.
Nearby must-see attractions include the black sand beach at Punalu'u, the green-sand beach and cliffs at South Point, Volcano National Park, and Kula Kai caverns. For the hikers, don't miss walking about 2 miles down to the beach and lagoon at Pohue Bay where you will likely have it to yourselves (especially on a week day). A quick trip to the quaint town of Na'alehu lets you avail yourselves of organically grown local produce, local style restaurants with live music, and a fabulous bakery. A journey through lush rainforest to the Kapoho Tidepools with its outstanding snorkeling and abundant sea life. Or enjoy kayaking with the dolphins.
Hale Maluhia, or ''House of Peace',: is at 600' elevation and 2 miles from the coast, providing panoramic ocean views and perfect temperatures and humidity year round. Its unique location at the southern end of the island allows you to experience both fantastic sunsets and sunrises! Because of our low elevation and the cooling trade winds, we are rarely affected by the vog that can affect the Kona Coast. But we are still on the sunny side, where we don't have the rain and the bugs of the Hilo side.
Hale Maluhia is 1700 sq. ft. and features an open floor plan with three large bedrooms and two baths. The entire unit is located on the second level, providing enhanced views of the coastline and mountains. Vaulted ceilings throughout provides the spaciousness of a much larger home and the skylights warm the house with natural light. We also provide an office with laptop computer and high speed internet. A 900 sq. ft. lanai wraps around the entire house in a plantation style, allowing you your choice of views and privacy.
A spacious and inviting interior...: The master bedroom has a sliding glass door out to the lanai and a lovely ocean view. With a king size bed and 32'' flat screen TV with Dish Network, it is a great place to relax at the end of a long day of sightseeing and swimming.
The kitchen is open, with a breakfast bar for informal dining. It is fully equipped and has native koa-wood cabinets. It is ready for you to make your favorite island dishes or just pop something in the microwave for a quick snack.
There are two roomy baths, both with large tile vanities and shower/tub combinations. The master bath has a vanity separate from the main area allowing for greater privacy and shared use.
The great room combines a dining, living, and sitting area. There is an entertainment center with TV, DVD player, stereo, and home theater. An IPOD dock lets you enjoy your own music, or you can tune into the stations provided by Dish Network .

We came over from Maui as this rental was close to where we needed to be doing some land surveying work. The rental was great for our whole crew and very relaxing with the amenities. Easy access to food and very quiet at night.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.

Thanks for letting use use your home as "base camp" for our trip to the Big Island. Having all the basics here at the rental made travel so much easier. We found the location ideal for trips up both sides of the island. I think we were able to hit the major highlights - our favorites were the "private lagoon", snorkeling near Kona, Greenwell Coffee Farms, and just plain swimming in the ocean with the sun keeping us warm! Thanks again for your part in making our Hawaiian vacation all that we imagined and more!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Don't let the landscape fool you...this area has a LOT to offer! Incredible lagoon down by the beach, wonderful bakery in Na'alehu and enjoyed the music Saturday morning at the L&L BBQ - not to mention Bob and Sue's smooth moves! Other highlights were the Kilauea Iki trail, waterfalls in Hilo, (hiked above Wai'ale Falls...beautiful!!!), and Honomalino Beach. Great turtle viewing at the black sand beach! A great stay full of adventure and relaxation. Thanks so much, Bob and Sue, for the hospitality. Hope to come back someday soon!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Great spacious house with everything you need to move right in. We stayed for 2 weeks with our three kids, ages 6, 4 and 18 months. It was very comfortable and Bob and Sue were friendly, helpful and accommodating with great tips for things to do. We LOVED the full wraparound lanai with great sunset views. This house was a perfect jumping off point for exploring all parts of the island. Day trips included Volcano National Park, Hilo, Kapoho tidepools, black sand beach with lots of turtles and more. EXCELLENT bakery about 20 minutes away in Na'alehu. The hike down to the lagoon is a must-do. Loved this house and would certainly come back. Bob and Sue, the kids say "Hi!".Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

This was our second year at this wonderful house. The peace and seclusion was the reason we returned and Bob does such a fantastic job of making you feel at home. We love staying there so much we had trouble leaving during the day to do other things. Can't wait to come back next year.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Mike, you are always welcome here! I hope sometime our visits will overlap and we will have an opportunity to meet! Bob and Sue

Thank you for opening your island home to us! We had a wonderful week of R&R! We felt like we were on our own private island. I had a fabulous 50th birthday snorkeling with the dolphins, turtles, and manta rays! A totally happy and memorable birthday! We also loved having our own pool - what a blast! Thanks again!

Thank you for this "home away from home" as our son's wedding brought us to Hawaii. We were able to experience black sand beaches, sea turtles, dolphins, rain forest (on the east side of the island) and miles and miles of "switch back" roads up and down hills! This is an awesome place and we leave with fond memories to last a lifetime! Rick, Laurie, Luke, and Emily MichiganDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

What a wonderful home to stay in for vacation! I wish it could have been longer!The lava tube was amazing, thanks for sharing its location! It's so nice to hear "nothing" instead of in the city all the time. Loved the porch, pool and view.I will definitely be looking you up next time I'm in Hawaii! (hopefully sooner rather than later) Thank you so much! Melanie, Jared, Dunne, Tilton, and Canterbury (New HampshireDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: My wife and I live in California and love the sun and the sea. We fell in love with the Big Island during our many vacations to Hawaii, and were fortunate enough to purchase this property for our retirement home. We are avid ballroom dancers and plan on building a dance studio on the property after we move over permanently. We both enjoy arts and crafts and hope to continue and expand our hobbies after we move.
Why the Owner Chose Ocean View:
We love the rural charm of 'Old Hawaii' and serenity of the south end of the island. It is on the 'sunny side' of the island and offers a panoramic view of the ocean 2 miles away. We enjoy watching the whale migration in season from our lanai. We also wanted to be in an area relatively free of the 'vog' that can affect the higher elevations and coastal areas to the north. We enjoy having services and amenities close by to avoid the need for frequent trips in to Kona or Hilo. We love the home and hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!
The Unique Benefits at this House:
At 'Hale Maluhia' you can experience the peace and refreshment of 'getting away from it all' while still 'having it all'. Your vacation can be as active or relaxed as you wish. You can explore the richness of the Big Island or relax with a book on the lanai or by the pool. Kids will enjoy the opportunity to swim and splash about and adults can enjoy a relaxing soak in the spa at the end of the day. It provides a great base for exploring the delights of the east side of the Island without the long drive back to Kona. Make sure you take the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular, star filled night skies and look for shooting stars. The star-gazing is truly world-class!
