About this house rental

Hale Ma‘ukele is a large, well decorated home located near the heart of Volcano Village and 1 mile from Volcano National Park. It has 2.5 baths, 3 bedrooms, 4 beds, a large living area, and a 4 person hot tub. We have a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, hot tub, a nice back yard, and a back deck with a gas grill. The house is set in the native forest with giant Hapu‘u ferns, ‘o‘hia trees, and native birds all around.

My wife and I moved here in 2006 with our kids, designed and built this house with other family. For the nest year we worked on the landscaping, and decorated it with local art and photography. The house has its own solar energy and filtered, drinkable catchment water.

The house has a open floor plan downstairs and lots of windows to look out on the rainforest. It is a good layout for large groups or families as it facilitates connection, but also has private feeling bedrooms upstairs that have some separation from each other. The master bedroom has its own bathroom, and there is another full bathroom upstairs for the other two bedrooms. We have a laundry room with a washer and dryer, a smart TV with high speed wifi.

The back deck gets sun and is a great place to drink coffee, eat, relax and grill. The hot tub is set in a private corner of the property in the rainforest and is a great place to unwind after a day of activity at Volcanoes National Park or somewhere else.

We are a 5 minute drive to Volcanoes National Park and a 2 minute drive to Volcano Village. Volcano is a cute little town with a few restaurants, general stores, a community center, playground, and a nice farmers market on Sundays.

Volcano is at 3500 feet in a high elevation tropical rainforest, so it is never too hot. It can be chilly and damp depending on the weather, so it is nice to have the mini split heater.

There were no screens on the windows (and no ac); therefore we could not open the windows due to insects, so it was too warm at night to sleep. The master suite was nice, but the other bedrooms were insufficiently furnished (barely a bedside table and nowhere to put clothes) The washing machine had mold, so we didn't use it. One bathroom had blue tape all around the window and was jerry-rigged with a piece of wood (and did not open) There were insufficient towels (very much so). There were far fewer utensils, pots, etc than I am accustomed to in other VRBO. It was filthy under the living room couch cushion. Kind of annoying to see a lot of signs about "don't do this or that" when in fact the place was inadequate.

Great stay in a great location! Everything was as shown and it was very peaceful! The singing frogs were a wonderful bonus😊

Convenient and beautiful home! The house is only 2 miles from Volcanoes Park entrance, which made for a short trip to the rental after spending a long day at the park. We love the community. Each house is secluded within trees & ferns, like you're in your own private jungle. We were on Maui for a week, and walking into this home was the first time I heard my 13 & 15 yr old grandkids say WOW. The house was beautiful. We loved the hand-crafted support posts, the floors, the back deck, the vaulted ceilings, and that it had 3 bedrooms was perfect for our family of 4 adults & 2 kids. The bed and pilllows were comfy. The master BR has a private bathroom. The other 2 bedrooms shared a hall bath ( all upstairs).The couch was comfy, for the short time we were there. I can find nothing negative to say. The owner was quick to respond to emails, and helpful at providing info on local recommendations. We ate at Lava Rock Cafe for dinner and it was excellent ( burger and fries were about $20-$23/pp). Would DEF stay again if we come back!

The house was perfect. Located super close to the park. Jacuzzi was nice to have in the back area at night was lit up nicely. Plenty of space for the family to relax inside the house and on the back patio. Definitely staying here again in the near future.

Beautiful home with the perfect location for a visit to Volcanoes National Park. Unfortunately we had an issue checking in because the Vrbo website and app were down and so we were unable to access the check-in codes. While that is not the Host's fault, we tried to reach him via Vrbo messaging and phone (call and text) and he was not available (we were checking in at 5pm local time). Luckily we were able to reach Vrbo customer service and after several lengthy calls with them, they were able to assist with entry into the home. However, this was disappointing, as the Host should be available around the check-in time to assist with any issues.
