The House of the Beautiful Gardens

Tucked away in the lush and beautiful Hawaiian Beaches neighborhood, you’ll find Hale O Nani Mala Pua – House of the Beautiful Gardens.

This three bedroom, two 1/2 bath home is located at the very end of an peaceful street. Wonderfully convenient to all the signts and sounds that the east side of the Big Island has to offer, swimming and snorkeling in Hilo is just 40+ minutes away, or the new black sand beach at Isaac Hale Park aka Pohoiki is also about 20 minutes away. Dining and shopping in Pahoa just keeps getting better and better! This hale has all that you need for that perfect vacation in paradise for two to six people.

This is a spacious home with a large kitchen and a great living room with picture windows on 3 sides that give you a great view of Paradise and literally brings the outside in!! As you vacation here, you’ll just want to settle in and make this your home away from home. In fact, you might never want to leave Paradise.

The grounds are simply gorgeous and include blooming tropical flowers and fruits such as pineapple, avocado, lemon, apple bananas, papaya and Lilikoi – You can pick, eat and enjoy to your heart’s content!

The hale has a master suite with a king bed, and 2 additional bedrooms with queen beds. The sizable kitchen, with its beautiful custom counter tops works extremely well with plenty of room to prepare and cook wonderful island meals. You can dine either indoors OR out on the lovely lanai that looks out into the very private backyard and grounds. There is even a BBQ grill for your outdoor cooking.

The hale is equipped with cable television, DVD player, washer/dryer and broadband internet. So, bring your laptop and stay connected.

Great place!

Loved the place! We loved the house and appreciated the fresh flowers that were left for us. Slept soundly to the chorus of frogs ‘singing’ us to sleep. Also had great supply of dishes, Tupperware and other items. Highly recommend.

Nice beautiful house with big garden and lots of amenities

Our family enjoyed the trip to this house in the Pahoa area. It was a nice, clean house with plenty of space. Can't really complain. Can get pretty warm during day but in the evening its breezy and enjoyable.

Great break from the Kona crowds

After 5 nights at Waikoloa Village, this house was a pleasant change. Quiet neighborhood nestled just far enough away from Hilo but close enough to enjoy all Hilo has to offer. Very spacious accommodations for our family of four. We love each other but sure was nice to not share one room. Beds were comfy and the nature sounds (rain downpours & frogs) was so peaceful. Everything we needed was here.

Beautiful home

The house was very beautiful inside out. We had a wonderful time in the house. Especially the beautiful backyard. My six year old son every morning will get up and go straight to the backyard and just run around looking for small creatures. The only downside was I saw blood on one of the pillow cases and the refrigerator have smell, but besides that we love the place.

Super Awesome Home!!!

Overall, an excellent experience. The house is lovely from the inside with nice decor, has a beautiful garden, close to beautiful rainforest and Lava areas and beaches. This is one of the best "stocked" homes: had excellent kitchen items, beds, towels, brand new washing machine, fridge, TV, internet, etc. Outside has a beautiful garden, airy and open. Jolanta V. was our Hawaiian Life host and super responsive and v helpful! Loved the stay and will definitely come again. Thank you!

Very pleasant property and experience

This property is a little off the beaten path, but if you're exploring the Hilo side of the island, it's a great launching off place. It was cozy, comfy and well appointed. There's a beautiful back yard. The whole property is gated for added security and comfort, but we did not feel uncomfortable in the neighborhood at any time. You will definitely hear the natural surroundings. We enjoyed all the sounds of the island. I would absolutely stay here again and work with the same management company on other properties. Well done!

English Holiday in Hawaii

Property was perfect. The cooler, beach towels, beach chairs and boogie boards really helped save us money from having to buy ourselves. Good location for Volcanoes National Park and Hilo however most of the snorkelling and sandy beaches are on the other side of the island so expect some hour plus drives (only downside of the property). Loved listening to the frogs and birds in the evening. There was also an electric kettle which was much needed for this English family.

Tropical Paradise

We loved our stay here! The backyard made the trip! It was full of lizards, frogs & beautiful birds. Our young kids had a blast searching for creatures. The home was cute and had what we needed. Nothing fancy, but very comfortable. We were worried about no AC, but we never felt hot. The ceiling fans kept it perfect. Well stocked with kitchen appliances, boogie boards, a cooler, beach chairs & beach towels. They supply bar soap but no other toiletries, so bring those along. We’d definitely stay here again!

Summer Trip

This is one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed at. Good family sized home that has everything we needed. Big back yard that is fenced in. Great for those with little kids. Location is ok. Not too far from anything but not real close either. Only negative is no air conditioning. On a hot humid summer night makes it hard to sleep as place does not cool down. Maybe a few more fans would help.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We got in on a rainy night, so at first we could not see clearly and the house was very stuffy since the windows were close. After the windows were opened the house began to breath and started cooling down, and when morning came, the beauty the property possesses came to light; especially in regards to the backyard. The amenities were plentiful. There were more things there for our convenience than what we have at home. We really truly loved our stay there. Definitely a "Diamond in the rough!". To add, our host or property manager, Robinette, was accessible and very helpful to us, and we really appreciated that.

Huge house with a beautiful garden and everything you need

I spent the month of July living at this house. and I really enjoyed it. The pics are very accurate about both the spaciousness and lusciousness of the house. The bathrooms were clean and the house has a ton of towels. The kitchen was a bit barren as far as spices (literally only salt) and storage containers but had everything else: Lots of plates, cutting boards, knives, different baking trays, measuring cups etc. The dishwasher is also a great addition to the kitchen. I only used one bedroom but found the bed to be pretty comfortable. There yard is massive with lush greenery. It's a great place to unwind: I spent a lot of time reading out in the back. The chairs in the living room are very comfy: I watched a lot of shows. The internet was very reliable and fast. I never had any issues at all with streaming, video calls or working remotely. The place is not far from Pahoa (10-12 mins) but far enough that I recommend renting a car as well. My one criticism, which may just be me since I was solo, was that I didn't always feel fully comfortable in the neighbourhood. Overall though this is a great home and I'd definitely rent it again.
