Incredible house, would stay again!
The hosts were incredible and the home served as paradise for my 8 friends and me to celebrate my 50th. Don’t hesitate - this home is perfection. There were a couple of small hiccups that were resolved within minutes by the owners, and were gracious enough to offer a gift to one of my friends for the tiniest inconvenience…really beyond amazing in terms of what we’d ever dream an owner would do to make us all enjoy our visit.

Beautiful Oasis
An absolutely amazing and beautifully appointed retreat for our family's vacation. Master Suites are exquisite and luxurious with both indoor and outdoor showers. Kitchen had everything we needed to make gourmet dinners and dining room was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our group of 10. All beds were super comfortable. Grounds are beautifully manicured and the pool and hot tub were crystal clean and our regular hangout. But the best part for me was the elevated covered seating area or "The Perch" (as we called it) where we would enjoy our coffee watching the sun rise. The pictures do not do this property justice, it is an absolute gem and we cannot wait to return.

Great house!
The house was perfect for our extended family. The separate pod areas worked great for the separate families and children. The pool was a hit with everyone as were the trips to Mauna Lani beach in the golf cart. Peter was very helpful and always responded quickly to our questions. We would highly recommend the house and hopefully we will be able to return soon.

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.

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!

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!

40th Anniversary Family Vacation
This property lived up to the reviews posted and then some! Our family of nine ranging from ten to sixty had the time of our lives. We had the ability to relax and play around the pool and the privacy needed for rest and quiet time. The outdoor showers were a hit with young and old! I don’t think we turned the main television on at all because we spent most of our time outside enjoying the Sonos. Making espressos in the morning and sitting around the table at night allowed for some great conversations and valuable bonding for everyone. It was often difficult to leave and go on adventures because everyone was so relaxed and enjoying their “chill time”! However, we did take advantage of the golf cart, e-bikes and jeep. Peter made it so easy to rent the jeep and it was great to have another vehicle when needed. I personally can’t thank Grace and Peter enough for the graciousness shown to our family. It was a much needed break from our busy lives and as granddaughter Ava stated, this vacation got a “billion trillion” rating on a scale of 1-10!! Mahalo for everything, we will definitely be back someday!

Perfect for a Family Vacation
We were a family of adults celebrating a significant birthday and found this home to be an ideal property for the celebration. We took full advantage of the bikes, golf cart and Jeep rental, and it gave us the flexibility needed to accommodate everyone. The home itself is spectacular, immaculate and well equipped. From the kitchenware to beach towels to the fruit trees in the community park, we found everything we needed. We also took advantage of the beach pass, and the pool and hot tub were a luxurious finish for the end of day wind down. Peter, the host was very responsive when we had questions and flexible with Jeep usage. If we ever return to the Big Island, we will definitely request this home to rent again. Mahalo!
