The house, the host, the set-up was beyond our expectations! Highly recommend this home. We were sad to leave and would’ve loved an extra 3 days! 10/10. It was perfect for our family of six (4 teenagers). It was perfectly spaced so we always had our own areas when needed. This place had all the amenities for going to the beach, cooking at home and even a newly arrived 6 person golf cart to explore the Mauna lani area. The cleanliness of the home and the top notch landscaping really stood out.

Great Stay

Stayed with my kids and grandkids. Loved location and the pool along with each family having private space (bedroom pods) and shared space (house and pool). Location is very convenient and the golf cart is a hit. Recommend. Hosts are very responsive and will try to stay with them again in the future.

Amazing property. Beautiful inside and out. Literally everything one could possibly need from the kitchen to the pool. Everyone in our nine person group had a fabulous time, even just hanging out in the houses or the by pool and hot tub. Works perfectly for those who want to stay together but not "too together." Didn't end up with pics of the inside of the home but it is gorgeous!

Amazing private paradise

The property was stunning. We had the pleasure of staying here for 1 week. Family of 4, with 2 teen boys, each had their own personal "pod"--so for starters, those that have teens know that already this place was a hit! It really is beautiful, and amazingly private as well. We went from here to Maui--and already I'm missing the privacy that Hale Mele offered. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, utensils, cutting boards, etc. Ample seating indoors and out--this property has so much to offer. It was a great home base for the various activities the island has to offer as well.

Wonderful home for our extended family. The hale style home worked perfectly for our group of grandparents, parents, teens, and kids with different wake up times and bedtimes! The house was stunning. Our favorite spot (other than the hot tub) was the tower overlooking Palm trees with views out to the ocean. Would stay here again. 10/10!

About the host

Hosted by Peter and Theresa Gosch (Owners)

Host profile image
As an airline pilot, husband, and father of three, I bring a strong attention to detail, reliability, and a deep sense of responsibility into everything I do — including hosting. My career has instilled in me the importance of safety, organization, and anticipating the needs of others, and I apply those same principles to creating exceptional guest experiences.
Having been a VRBO guest for over 15 years and a host for the past 5 years, I understand both sides of the experience. I know what makes a stay truly memorable — comfort, thoughtful touches, clear communication, and a seamless experience from booking to departure.
Hosting allows me to combine my love for travel with my passion for hospitality. My goal is simple: to provide a stay that exceeds expectations and welcomes guests back year after year.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect balance of privacy, luxury, and true island beauty. Nestled within the gated community of Champion Ridge in the renowned Mauna Lani Resort, it feels peaceful and exclusive while still being close to everything that makes the Big Island so special.
What we love most is how quiet and serene it feels. You wake up to soft island breezes, sunshine filtering through tropical landscaping, and the relaxed rhythm that makes Hawaii magical. Evenings are just as special — golden sunsets, warm air, and the calm that comes after a beautiful beach day.
One of our favorite perks is the private access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club. The white sand cove and calm, clear water make it perfect for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing in a lounge chair. It’s rarely crowded, which makes it feel like your own hidden paradise.
Within minutes, you can enjoy world-class golf, scenic coastal hikes, oceanfront dining, tennis, and incredible snorkeling reefs. Yet when you return home, it’s quiet, private, and truly restful.
For us, this neighborhood represents everything we love about the Big Island — natural beauty, relaxation, and effortless island living — and we’re excited to share it with our guests.

What makes this property unique

What makes Hale Mele unique is the combination of luxury, privacy, and thoughtful hosting. Located within the prestigious Mauna Lani resort area, guests enjoy exclusive access to a private beach club with calm waters, white sand, and exceptional snorkeling — a rare and valuable perk.
Inside, Hale Mele blends island elegance with comfort. The home is carefully maintained, beautifully furnished, and designed to feel both upscale and welcoming. Every detail is intentional, from quality linens and amenities to seamless check-in and clear communication.
As experienced hosts who also travel frequently, we’ve designed Hale Mele to deliver the kind of stay we personally look for — relaxing, effortless, and memorable. It’s not just a rental; it’s a carefully curated island experience.
