Private | Oceanview | Spacious | Bright 3BR House

Welcome to Malulani Green Haven!

This private 3bd/2ba home is located in a gated, quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood right in the heart of Kailua-Kona. You'll enjoy a spectacular panoramic ocean view from the backyard lanai and a view of Mauna Loa on the opposite side. The cool ocean breeze that comes with the elevation (and A/C if you need it) makes for a comfortable stay. The location is a convenient 10-min. drive from the airport, 5-min. drive to the historic Kona town and the beach, and a short drive to shopping areas with Safeway, Walmart, Lowes, Costco and numerous restaurants.

There are three bedrooms and two baths that are available during your stay. The master bedroom has a king size bed, a dresser, and a walk-in closet. It also has access to the backyard lanai. The master bath has a huge large jacuzzi (with a view of the ocean), shower, and double sink. The second bedroom has a queen bed, a walk-in closet with drawers, and access to the backyard with a view of the ocean as well. The third bedroom has two twin beds and a mirrored closet. A second full bathroom is between the 2nd and 3rd bedroom with bath products and linens provided.

The dining area is large with a glass dining table. The kitchen is fully equipped with small appliances, cooking and eating utensils. BBQ grill is in the backyard next to the lanai sink. There is a large refrigerator, a microwave and a dishwasher. Cable TV, streaming services (login not included), and free WiFi are also available.

Plenty of beautiful beaches are within a 15-min drive such as Kamakhonu and Magic Sands beaches. Hapuna Beach, one of Hawaii's best beaches with several hundred yards of white soft sand, is only 30 min. away. The clear water offers excellent swimming, snorkeling or boogie boarding when the surf picks up. Boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas and beach toys are provided for you to enjoy!

Mahalo!

We enjoyed our visit in Kona with our family. The couple of small issues were handled by the owners immediately, and we were very grateful for their speedy response. They went above and beyond by sending us a gift for NYE during our stay, which was lovely! Mahalo!

Nice stay
We had a wonderful stay. This house is located in a gated community, which is very quiet. The house was well stocked with plenty of towels and bedding. Josephine was very responsive to any of my questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend this home for any families looking to stay in the Kona area. Very close to downtown Kona and a great central location.

Allen vacation
We were here to have a relaxing time and see the sites/beaches/restaurants/hikes/parks - that we did. However, the house to us was not comfy. The couches were made up of a frame with particle board piece laying on top and cushion on top - very uncomfortable! This was the case for Both inside and outside furniture. Beds were very hard and not comfy. Pillows were ok. The only comfy place was out on the lanai, sitting on the tickets. E writhing else was clean - although the tiny single person shower in the massive master bath had us shaking our head as it was very claustrophobic. Lots of condiments and supplies along with very clean home was enjoyed by all.

Quiet oasis in nice neighborhood on the hill
We stayed 3 nights. I really liked the neighborhood, very quiet, great views. This property is very roomy, nice layout. I loved the lanai. The kitchen is well appointed and well stocked with staples, which is nice. The furnishings are on the cheaper side. The patio couch is incredibly uncomfortable. Honestly just needs new cushions. Kitchen is a little beat up but nothing terrible. The best part is the location. It’s a short drive to Alii drive and downtown Kona but it is so nice to be out of the fray. Safeway is close, which is convenient. Good base for trip to Kona.

We loved the fresh mangos off the tree! I do wish the kitchen would have had some more amenities, but overall it was fine. I would have also liked a little more seating in the living room so everyone (6) could have sat and visited. We did have a wonderful time.

Exactly as Advertised
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this house in Kailua-Kona. The house was exactly as advertised; the house was clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked, etc. We also loved coffee on the lanai for sunrise and drinks on the lanai for sunset. Josephine was extremely responsive and readily available,, and she even accommodated us with a late afternoon checkout. We'll stay here again next time we're in Kona.

Perfect family/group vacation home
I LOVED this house. When I was narrowing down my choices of where to stay, I had queried the owner about amenities and expected to hear back within 24 hours -- Josephine answered me in less than 20 minutes. On a Sunday morning. I booked with her right then and could not have been happier with my choice. The house is spacious, as are the patio and yard, with amazing views downslope to the ocean and up and down the coast. Sunsets to die for. My mom is a bird nut, so she had plenty of new ones to identify and observe (she'd never been to Hawaii). The neighborhood is quiet, the neighbors are friendly and every once in a while you're softly serenaded by someone's cow a block or two away at feeding time, which we thought was hilarious. Please keep in mind that this is someone's home and not one of the hotels out in town, so some of the towels and dishes don't match. Big whoop. But they have stocked it chock-full of every kitchen appliance you could need and there are beach supplies in the garage for your use. Overall, I can't say enough good things about our stay or the owner, who was lovely to deal with throughout. I will absolutely try to book my next big island trip to correspond with when this property is available!

My family and I booked this home as we needed a place to stay while in town to attend my Grandpa’s funeral. We had adequate space, privacy, even enjoyed a mango or two from the tree out front. Great sized home that can accommodate 10+ for a casual hang.

Overall my family was comfortable but we found lack of maintenance such as broken screen door and bathroom shower missing half of sliding door should have been repaired. House was tidy on arrival, but could benefit from a professional deep cleaning. Hostess was available to answer any questions we had.

Lovely house! We enjoyed our stay in Kona for our family’s spring vacation. The house is well equipped, comfortable beds, located close to Kona downtown and its beaches. It was amazing to wake up to the stunning views from the house! It is a great place to relax and the owner was kind, responsive, and gave us great recommendations for the area. Highly recommended, mahalu!

Perfect Location!
The location of this property is ideal! Having stayed in Keahou and Kealakekua Bay areas on previous trips, it was wonderful to be feel 'in the center' of things. An easy drive north for the beaches, south for snorkeling, and close to town for eating out or picking things up. The gated community the house is in was quiet, safe, and the neighbours we met were friendly. The home itself was as advertised/reviewed and had a well stocked kitchen, plenty of bath and beach towels. The two singles, queen, king bed arrangement was ideal for our family. The view from the lanai overlooking the town of Kailua-Kona was wonderful. Checking in was straight forward and the opportunity for a later check-out greatly appreciated. Thanks Josephine for the checking in on us along the way and the use of your home! Aloha!

Just what we were looking for
Great location - 5 minutes or less to town and in a gated community, so quiet and secure. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds very comfortable. The key to a top-notch VRBO stay is the host. We discovered an issue with the BBQ and Josephine had it replaced with a new one - on a Sunday! We paid $4.00 for a lime and I'm sure Josephine would have helped with that if she could.

Great Place
Lovely place overall. Was great for 6 of us. Bedrooms, kitchen, and living areas are plenty spacious, and the lanai is fantastic. Was especially nice for one of our members who has a disability since there's maybe only one tiny step to go up, but otherwise everything is flat and plenty accessible. Because of the location though, you get lovely sunset views looking down to the water. All of the amenities were exactly as described and there's everything that you'll need to enjoy your time on the island (beach towels, etc.). Parking is also easy and safe as it's a private residence in a quiet gated neighborhood. Just a few things to note in case you're considering this property for your stay: the house is a way up a steep hill, so unless you're really fit it's not really walkable to anything in the area (just a 5 minute drive though to practically everything in town); this is a charming well-loved home and with that comes a few little quirks (i.e. sliding door off the one bedroom that easily falls off the track--easy enough to put back on though). Overall, a great place (with a very responsive host!) that you should definitely consider for your stay.

Wonderful week in Hawaii!
We loved our stay in this home. We were a group of four friends, and this 3 bedroom home accommodated all of us easily. The beds were very comfortable and the bedrooms are situated so that everyone had their privacy and quiet when they were not in the main rooms. The open living/dining room gave us plenty of space on the days we needed to get some work done. Hands down our favorite space was the lanai, so perfect for early morning coffee, lounging, evening cocktails. The view out to the ocean is so beautiful and we enjoyed using the binoculars to spot whales and watch the sunset in the evenings. The neighborhood is a very quiet, residential neighborhood, we didn't run into that many people but everyone we did meet was very nice and welcoming. The AC stopped working a couple of days in to our trip and the owners were very quick to respond and had someone out the next day to fix it. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay on Hawaii!

Great location
Pros: This place was a in a perfect location. It’s a very nice gated neighborhood that is quiet but still close to downtown Kona. The house is big and the lanai (as mentioned by others) is beautiful and perfect for starting and ending the day. The place has the basic utensils and kitchen stuff needed. The host is super nice and easy to communicate with. Cons: The house needs a lot of updates and is very basic. The screens and blinds are outdated and don’t work. The screen door is dented so it doesn’t close all the way. The blinds that another reviewer mentioned were going to be updated, still haven’t been and blinds fell off, wouldn’t close, etc. The shower door in the bathroom with a tub only has one door and it doesn’t work. The furniture is not comfortable (it’s all wicker). They don’t provide toiletries so bring your own. The WiFi had issues and it’s suuuper slow so it’s hard to do any work if you’re working remotely. All in all, if you’re looking for a basic place that is large, close and quiet, this place is great! We didn’t spend much time here since we were out and about all day long so it worked just fine for us. Would have loved it if it was a little nicer but it worked.
