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.

family get together
The house was fantastic. It is in a great location just a short drive from lots of restaurants and other activities in downtown Kona. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed. The views from the back lanai and front porches was of phenomenal sunsets everyday. I highly recommend it.

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!

Amazing anniversary getaway!
We were so pleased with the house and was a great place to relax after venturing out on the island during the day. The location and view was perfect we couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The house had everything we needed, and then some and communication with the host was great. We would definitely love to go back again!

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!

8 Night Stay
The house was great except for the AC, which didn't work properly for 4.5 out of 8 days. The problem was reported on Day 1 when we checked in and again on Day 4 when the temperature was simply intolerable. The problem was blamed on abnormally high temperatures, global warming, climate change, etc., but ended up being a clogged drain with an automatic shutoff and very low freon. On Day 5 of 8, the AC was fixed and worked Great! BTW: the owner did offer a refund if I opted to move to a hotel, but we had already spent heavily on provisions with nowhere to keep them. It was a generous offer, but I would have been much happier if the AC had been checked out prior to our arrival.

Amazing family home
We LOVED this house. The pool and yard are beautiful. The kids had so much fun the pool. Everything you need is there including tons of beach towels, beach chairs, toys, umbrellas and coolers. The house has 2 beautiful lanais to watch the sunset. Did I mention a view of the ocean? There's also amazing living space featuring a room with a TV and a "quiet room " for those who would rather read. I truly hope to rent this house 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!!

Beautiful Awesome House
There were seven of us ,family and friends ,that stayed at Rachel’s beautiful house. Cannot say enough about the location the cleanliness of the house and just having everything that you could absolutely need for week long or even longer stay. The location was wonderful the views terrific and just generally one of the best places we have ever stayed in Kona and we go To Kona every year. I also cannot say enough about Rachel the owner of the house. She was extremely responsive and made sure that we had everything that we needed. I would very highly recommend staying at Rachels home. We will definitely stay there again next year.

Our Hawaii Celebration!
This property is beautiful and very well appointed. Rachel has literally thought of everything! The pool was wonderful when we were at the house, the extra family room was great to spread out. We enjoyed the delicious welcome basket and used all the beach equipment & towels. The only reason I gave 4 stars on online description is that the pictures on VRBO could be updated to better reflect the layout of the home and updated bathrooms. Also, a side note, while the furniture is completely adequate, it is not the most comfortable couches. They have a very Hawaiian vibe, but I would personally ditch then for something more comfortable. The 4 stars on location and neighborhood I want to explain. The neighborhood is perfectly located with ocean view, 5 minutes to downtown & the ocean, 15 to the airport if you catch the red lights. My only issues was the noise from the cars who do not respect the 25 mph and make a lot of noise on the master bedroom side of the house. Of course this is nothing Rachel can control, so no reflection of her. Just an FYI if you are looking for seclusion and quiet. Overall, we could not have found a house more perfect for our family time in Hawaii! We celebrated our 20 yr anniversary, our son and daughter-in-law's honeymoon, a 10 yr olds birthday, and a surprise engagement! We had 3 couples, 1 teen, and 1 child in our group. Plenty of space for all. Mahalo Rachel! I am hoping this is the beginning of a long and repeating relationship where we can stay over and over! Blessings to you!

Week in Paradise
We’ve stayed in many VRBO properties over the years, this by far is my favorite. It is bigger than the images indicate, there is so much space. The best stocked property we’ve ever had. It has everything thing you need and more. The backyard and pool was truly a paradise. It’s a quiet neighborhood and away from the hectic areas of town. The AC unit saved us as we traveled in hot August, it helped us be able to sleep at night. There were towels, beach toys, pool toys, kids snorkeling gear, beach chairs, coolers, an ice maker in the fridge and so much more. This unit was clean and beautiful. Communication with the owner was perfect. I can’t say enough good about this place. Enjoy spending time in paradise here!!

Rachel’s home was perfect! We cannot say enough good things about this property. The layout was good, plenty of space to spread out and having 4 full bathrooms was great when 6 people are trying to get ready. The pool area was so nice, there were plenty of pool and beach toys as well. It was the perfect location for all the places we wanted to see around the island. It was convenient to grocery stores, the airport and town for dinner! We were not ready to leave at all, my nephew even said we have to come back and stay in this house! Mahalo Rachel!

What a wonderful property and host! Before we arrived, every little question I had was answered promptly. Once we got there we were greeted with a lovely welcome basket full of Hawaiian produce including the biggest avocados I'd ever seen! The house was spotless. There were plenty of supplies, cooking utensils, washer, dryer, beach towels, shower necessities. I could go on and on. We all (three families - our sons and our grandkids) loved the place and all that it had to offer. Thank you for helping with our once in a lifetime vacation!

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.
