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. ##### Marsie G.

I have stayed at many high-end VRBO’s and this is the best yet. The owner, Peter, is very quick to respond to questions and spent time on the phone with me before my vacation telling me great places to go and things to do. This was a family vacation of a lifetime for my family of 8\. Everyone was so impressed with the place and already asking to go back. The house was so clean and had everything you needed .. and a kitchen stocked with everything a chef would love! Can’t wait to go back!! 10 stars on this property and owner!!! ##### beth f.

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. ##### Barbara L.

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. ##### Joel S.

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! ##### Trina B.

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! ##### David R.

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.

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! ##### Debbie P.

Very convenient to mountain hikes to the north, Kona activities to the south, and Hilo a short hour to the east, where we saw beautiful waterfalls.The house was incredible. Each of our children had a wing to themselves, including one for our grandchildren and their parents.what impressed me were the details. The shower liquids were all topped off to the brim. golf cart and E bikes fully charged. we enjoyed the hot tub and pool when we weren’t out exploring. we had a question about the air conditioning, and it was solved within a couple minutes by calling the host, who can monitor the electronics from afar. strong Internet signal when we needed it.we worried that birds were accidentally flying in through the large doors when they were opened until we realized they knew what they were doing. We noticed they would wait nearby and fly in when the door opened, look for crumbs and quickly fly back out.The 10 of us had so much room than it never felt busy or crowded. The stove... I would love to cook on something like that every day.The area has almost too many things to do. One could easily stay in the community and go to one of several beaches where we were mostly alone. but it is also a great place to launch from. ##### J T J.

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. ##### Kristen M. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ---
