Our Beautiful Two Bedroom condo, HALE O MELE LA'I, our "House of Happy Songs" in Waikoloa Villas on the Big Island has been beautifully furnished as a home, not just a vacation rental.

***************************************
...This is a large very nicely appointed condo, very quiet, with a nice view of the golf course. Waikoloa Villas is also convenient to some of the best beaches and sights on the island. Definitely recommended!
...It's much quieter and more peaceful than the condos down at the Waikoloa Resorts.
...You have created a lovely tropical getaway. We almost don't know where to start with your music library, since it is so extensive, but we have been enjoying it immensely. Your love for the Island Culture really shows in the home away from home that you have built here.
...We love your place, it is everything you said it was. The bed is extremely comfortable.
...What a wonderful place! Such a beautiful condo in such a beautiful community! Peaceful and serene inside and out. That grocery store is the best, fresh fish!.. A very fun and affordable golf course. Great beaches within minutes.
****************************************
Among our Beautiful Furnishings is a cushy Leather Double Recliner. Those couches with loose floral cushions are pretty, but also pretty uncomfortable to sit on, if you are spending any extended time here, (which we hope you will do). We enjoy decorating with local art of Hawaii, more than 35 pieces on the walls.
By the way, we have HIGH SPEED INTERNET!
We take pride in keeping our unit looking fresh and inviting, assisted by only one special housekeeper. Our unit is in a quiet setting not disturbed by traffic noise.
HALE O MELE LAI is indeed our "House of Happy Songs" in Hawaii! " MELE LA'I" is the name of an old Hawaiian Hymn. We love the Hawaiian Culture and since Music is such an important part of the Culture and of our own lives, we want to share that with our guests by providing a library of HAWAIIAN MUSIC. You may enjoy picking up the ukulele and making your own music.
We enjoy the best of both worlds by being at about 900 foot elevation, with nights a little cooler and days warm and sunny, therefore the 3 ceiling fans are adequate for comfort. A short 7 mile drive to the South Kohala Gold Coast where there are six beautiful long sandy beaches to choose from, including the well known Hapuna Beach (voted the best in the country) and 'Anaeho'omalu Bay ("A Bay").
Waikoloa Villas is situated along the 18 hole WAIKOLOA GOLF COURSE, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. where golf fees are Discounted for our Guests (best value on the island). For the avid golfer, there are six other golf courses near by.
WAIKOLOA VILLAGE has a small Shopping Center with a full line, top notch, affordable local grocery store with bakery, deli, and meat market...also a gas station, three small restaurants, medical offices, beauty salon, bank, florist, health food store, Post Office.
We are Centrally Located to the Beaches, Shops and Restaurants along the Kohala coast, the North Shore with Kamehameha's birthplace, the Paniolo (cowboy) town of Waimea, the old town of Hilo, the Volcano, and the shops and restaurants of Kona, and much, much more.
The Big Island has 11 different climate zones from the ocean to the top of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, so much variety of things to see and do. (See our Links of MORE PHOTOS of the Big Island, and THINGS to DO.)
Please read further from our Guest Comments link as to how people have enjoyed themselves and appreciated the way we have dealt with them in a personal way.
We invite you to come and be pampered in the beautiful home-like environment we have created for your enjoyment.

We cooked beautiful meals using the fresh fish and terrific veggies. Thanks again.

June 14-19, 2008 Aloha Denis and Sylvia, Thank you for letting us use your home for our vacation. It is a beautiful place in a perfect location, and it was stocked with everything we could have wanted. We have been to all four major islands and this one is the best! Some of our favorite places were The Place O Refuge in Captain Cook, the volcano (obviously) and all the little shops and beaches that make Hawaii what it is. We all hope to come back again. Mahalo!
