Amazing property!
We had an amazing stay at Hale Mele. The house was clean and beautiful with all the amenities we could possibly need. We loved the pod style of the home, which was exactly what we needed with teens and a friend staying with us. The location was perfect, and the access to the beach club was a huge bonus. We would definitely stay at this home again! Thank you Peter for sharing your home with us!

Birthday Celebrations
This was a birthday celebration for three family members and a Christmas gift for my parents. 6 adults. There was plenty of room for privacy. The owners even left a beautiful birthday bouquet for us. While we didn’t have any real issues, when we did, the owner was prompt at responding. The pool was wonderful. The beach is not too far away either. We spent our water time at the pool instead. The only real negative thing I could say about the house is that the bedroom doors did not have coverings over them, so if the landscaper or pool person were to go by and you were in the room, they see right in the room. In one of the rooms, if you were showering in the indoor shower, anyone could see you in all your glory. The simple fix was to shower in the outdoor shower, which was wonderful. I highly recommend it. It was also difficult to sleep due to street lights on the road behind the house. I’d bring a sleep mask. As a side note, the landscaper is there some days during the week and the pool person also comes. They are nice people, but feels a bit intrusive. It would not prevent me from going here again.

Staying with friends
We were a party of 8 adults staying at Hale Mele. The house and grounds was beyond what we expected. So well taken care of. The house was well stock for all of our needs. We loved everything about the house like the pool, hot tub, electric bikes, electric scooter and all the seating around the patio for dinner and drinks. Peter is a great host and is well prepared to answer any your questions or needs. This is a must stay place if you’re coming to the Big Island. Mahalo Peter for making our vacation wonderful. Jerry

Fantastic Stay at Hale Mele
We had a group of 9 staying at Hale Mele, 7 adults and 2 kids (8 & 11). The property is beautiful and the most well-stocked VRBO we’ve stayed at (garbage bags, soap, shampoo, kitchen items, pool/beach things, etc). The spacious layout was great for us to be together or find somewhere to relax away from everyone. The pool area was perfect and where we spent most of our time. The beach club was convenient and nice to visit, too. Peter, the host, was very responsive and answered any questions promptly. His arrival instructions were on point and arrival/departure was a breeze. Definitely treat yourself to a stay at Hale Mele, I’m glad we did!

Hawaiian Christmas
We enjoyed our Hawaiian Christmas. This property is perfect for multi-family travel. Most rooms are stand alone buildings and do not connect indoors. The rooms could have used more window coverings for privacy and morning light. It was a wonderful large open space with a fully stocked kitchen.

Fantastic trip
Our party of 9 stayed for 10 days and had a fantastic time. The floor plan is excellent in that everyone has their own privacy during the stay. The directions and communication from the owner was outstanding. The house was immaculate and comes with everything you could think of. We will definitely stay here again!

Exceptional property!
Our family of 10, 8 adults and 2 children, celebrating our 50th anniversary, had an exceptional vacation at Hale Mele. This gorgeous house had plenty of space for our large group with 4 lovely large bedrooms with private baths, well equipped, spacious common areas and kitchen, all surrounding a beautiful pool and hot tub. The lovely, abundant landscaping and the privacy of how the house is situated made us feel like we were at our own private resort! We loved watching the sunrises from the gazebo. Using the house’s available golf cart and beach/snorkel gear, we enjoyed swimming and snorkeling at the Mauna Lani private beach also. Hosts, Peter and Theresa, were very responsive, especially generous and helped make our vacation so very memorable. Exceptional!

Incredible!
What a perfect vacation home! The pod style bedrooms worked perfectly for our adult/teenage children. Perfect blend of privacy and togetherness. The home has absolutely everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked. Thoughtful touches throughout the home - charging stations in all bedrooms and living areas; golf cart, electric bikes, beach toys and chairs, Jeep for rent - they have it all! The pool and backyard are perfect for relaxing after adventuring all day. We loved it and will be back for sure!
