The Malia Bree at Onomea
Enjoy Hawaii's beautiful ocean views and the tropical landscaping in this private home with gated entry. Our open-styled kitchen/family room with high ceilings and skylights provides for great family time and spacious comfort to relax in. Spend hours on the wrap-around deck enjoying the tropical breezes and Hawaiian ambiance.
Sit back and have breakfast on the lanai and be mesmerized by our spectacular sunrises, watch for the humpback whales from the patio, or see the cruise ships make their way toward Hilo. Be dazzled by our incredible night sky and plan for an evening of stargazing high upon Mauna Kea.
Centrally located in East Hawaii on the Onomea Scenic Route, often called the most beautiful place on the Big Island, you will find yourself in old Hawaii. Not a room, not a section, but the whole house is yours to relax in, with the heart of Hilo town about 10 minutes away, serene Akaka Falls and Honomu Town ten minutes away, and the must see Volcano National Park a scenic 45 minutes away.
The Hamakua coastine's best-kept secret is our unique tradewind weather that encourages most of the rainfall to occur in the early mornings and evenings, leaving the day fresh and clean with sunshine and breezes. You will not be disappointed by the colors, plants, museums, gardens, and tours. Many of our attractions comes with no costs other than your camera to help you savor your memories.
Vacationers and those here on business have loved the high-speed internet connection with wireless capabilities. Keep in touch with family and friends, instantly sending them pictures of your daily adventures. Our free long distance digital services adds another route to share moments and catch up with old friends. Slow down, relax, enjoy life, and take the time to re-connect.

Paradise on the Big Island
Guest: Mark & Family
(Melbourne, Australia)
Date of Stay: 09/29/11
Review Submitted: 10/23/11
This was the best accommodation we stayed in while in Hawaii. The house suited our tastes fantastically. Open, comfortable, lay back and out of the way. Only problem was that we didn’t stay longer.
Owner response:Thank you very much for your comments and taking the time to post a review for us. You are right that most people wish that they have stayed longer here on the East Coast of the Big Island, as there is so much to do here, and such a diversity to choose from. Only choice you have now is to come back to the islands again! I send my Aloha and Mahalo to Australia from the Big Island of Hawaii! Lyndy

A beautiful hideaway

Review Submitted: 09/04/10
We would thoroughly recommend the Malie Bree for anyone wishing to explore the Big Island, or the Hilo side. Everything about the house is fantastic - from the grounds, to the views, to the inside and the facilities. Lyndy couldn't have been more helpful with advice and information, through to providing some sweatshirts and a coat for a trip up Moana Kea. If you want to stay just out of town, to have your own hideaway with peace and quiet, but near enough for the travel not to be a bind, then this place is just right. We loved it, and wish we had spent longer here (have to plan better next time). Thoroughly recommended !

Family home in paradise

Hi Lyndy, thank you so much for our great vacation in your fabulous house - it's not just a vacation rental, it's a home away from home. We started to make plans to move in at once! One downside: your photos on Homeaway and VRBO don't show how huge and special the house is when you arrive! The architecture of this house on wooden pools is perfect and we haven't seen another house like yours before. Modern amemities like washer/dryer, dishwasher, Internet, huge master bedroom shower, TVs included. In the mornings we have seen ships passing by - ocean view is included. It only takes 10 minutes to Hilo, we have been to the Farmer's Marked even on other days than on Wednesdays and Saturdays - tropical fruit like apple bananas, passion fruits, lychees, purple sweet potatoes.... you have to stock on every day... Puna District, warm pools and the glow of fresh lava, Volcanoes National Park (glow of the vent at Jaggar Museum), sunset at Mauna Kea and star gazing, Rainbow Falls and for our sons much more important: the pools and cliffs above (jumping), Waipiu Valley.....: one week is not enough to explore the most important sights within the range of Malia Bree. We have to come back as soon as possible, Lyndy, thank you so much! Karin, Rolf, Chris and Mike from Germany
Owner response:Mahalo for your wonderful comments. One day, I will step into this generation and learn how to make and post some footage for You Tube and try to capture the home and the Onomea area. I must enlist the kids to help me. Thank you for your comments about the home. The home really does give you an incredible feeling from the moment you walk through the door, while standing in the kitchen under that 20 foot high frosted cupola, or on the decks in the breezes. Your family gets the gold star of probably being the most adventuresome in finding the nooks and crannies of the island and island life. Thanks for sharing your moments with me my "Cliff Jumping Coconut Kings"! A hui hou (till we meet again) Lyndy

Our stay at Malia Bree at Onomea
Guest: Steve
(Maryville, TN)
Date of Stay: 07/16/10
Review Submitted: 08/08/10
This was our second trip to this lovely home on Onomea Bay. As was our first trip, the house was well maintained and clean. The only thing more lovely than the home is the setting, which is peaceful personified. For anyone who enjoys Hawaii, time spent in the Hilo area is a must. The waterfalls, the flora, and the people are unequalled. Our only disappointment was the chance to meet Lyndy, the owner, in person, who has always been most pleasant and helpful on the telephone. While in Hilo, do not fail to visit the planetarium at the University of Hawaii in Hilo.
Owner response:Thank you very much for your kind words and enjoyment of the property. I appreciate your comments and give credit to the wonderful people that I encounter as the best part of the Vacation Rental business. Yes, I will make it a priority to meet you in person on your next go-around. Mahalo for your continued patronage! Lyndy

Review Submitted: 07/01/10
The 4 of us had a great time during our stay, and a large part of it was due to how comfortable, new, and inviting this home is. Well appointed, well laid out, inviting, and very convenient. Walked across the street to What's Shakin every day for our smoothie fix (man those were good!!!). Drove into Hilo for some dining and snorkeling, as well as on some of the scenic drives close to the home. WE'LL BE BACK!
Owner response:Aloha Coloradans! I appreciate your taking the time to jot down such a kind and wonderful review for us. What's Shakin' makes the best smoothies and the largest plate of chicken nachos that I am a real sucker for. Hope that you'll be able to stay a bit longer on your next trip here to investigate the rest of the Big Island. There's so much to see and do here! Mahalo and Aloha, Lyndy

Review Submitted: 06/16/10
If you need to get away and relax look no further this was the most relaxing vacation I've ever been on. We had such a wonderful time snorkeling, sunning, water falls and 8 miles to Hilo. This home is on the Scenic Route and is in an ideal location. It has a bbq which was nice to grill shrimp kabobs and watch the sun go down. Aloha.
Owner response:Mahalo for your visit! We do try to provide most everything that you will need for your vacation. Glad to hear that you have made some lasting family memories. That's what a vacation is all about! A hui hou (till we meet again) Lyndy

Our second visit to the Malia Bree was even better than the first! We stayed at the house for a month and invited our neighbors, from Littleton, to spend a week with us. Relaxation is the key word in this little slice of heaven on earth. If you don't know how to relax, you are close enough to just about everything to go, go, go where your heart desires. The owner is full of ideas and information to make your stay incredible or just plain comfortable. This will not be a big city or a resort vacation. It's more like paradise.
Owner response:Mahalo Slaters! Such a pleasure to have made some life-long friends by way of all things, a vacation rental. We are always enriched by your visits and have such fun and wonderful memories that we continue to build on. Always welcome to come "home"! Mahalo, Lyndy

Review Submitted: 11/23/07
We had to tear ourselves away from the Malia Bree after spending two weeks there celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We cannot say enough good things about this home. After 12 hours of traveling, our first impression was "Wow!" The interior is beautifully maintained and decorated and we couldn't believe we were greeted by soft lights, music and fresh flowers. The next morning we awoke to birds singing, sunshine, lush vegetation and a fantastic view (the pictures here don't do it justice). As if all this weren't enough, we never wanted for anything. Lyndy bent over backward to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Wireless internet and digital voice made it possible for us to stay in touch with family and friends. We didn't watch much television but the flatscreen HDTV and access to MANY channels would be very appealing to families. The famous smoothie shop across the street was nice too! We highly recommend the Malia Bree to families who are looking for a lot to do, as well as couples like us who were looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat.

The Malia Bree at Onomea is truly a very beautiful, comfortable, and peaceful home to stay in the Big Island. My family truly enjoyed our 4 nights there. It's so relaxing sitting at the lanai to enjoy the nice views, watching for whales, dolphins, and ships go by out in the ocean. We love the tropical grounds and hearing the sounds of the birds. The hale is centrally located and it was an easy drive to other places and attractions. The weather was perfect for us and we hope to return again in the future! We just can't stop talking about what a wonderful time we had there!!!

We had a wonderful time in your home. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We had a great weekend trip on the east side of the island. I love the peacefulness and relaxing ocean view from the living room. It's a great vacation rental! Tina
