Experience a Hawaiian getaway like no other in this private, ocean-view retreat located in the prestigious, gated Keauhou Estates community. Just minutes from the beach, restaurants, shopping, and a variety of island activities, this three-bedroom, two-bath home away from home features split air conditioning, high-speed wireless internet, cable television, and a washer and dryer for total guest comfort and convenience.
A spectacular mahogany double-door entry invites you into Maile Hale's single-level, open-concept floor plan. The primary and guest bedrooms are situated on opposite sides of the home to maximize privacy. The spacious primary bedroom boasts two sets of sliding doors leading to two lanais, a large walk-in closet, and an en suite bathroom with a soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity.
Maile Hale's sprawling common areas include a kitchen with solid granite counters, Maytag double ovens, and a Maytag French-door refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and microwave. Lovely ocean views greet you from the dining area for six and the expansive living space with a large television and welcoming seating. The openness of the space allows the whole group to enjoy vacation time together, and the huge glass doors create a true indoor-outdoor living experience, opening to a covered lanai.
Have a relaxing open-air meal in the shade of the lanai after preparing your food on the barbecue grill. Lounge in the sun or play on the lush lawn. The property also features a young banana tree and a mature papaya tree.

We were a family of 6, with 4 adult children. The home was spacious and ideally suited for our group. The location is fantastic with beautiful ocean views and easy access to groceries and the beach. The home is well appointed and has everything you will need for a great vacation. Recommend very highly!

Great location, convenient to the Keahou Shopping Center ( less than 5 min. away) where there are restaurants, grocery stores, and drug stores among other shops. Nice and quiet neighborhood and very safe feeling. A wild turkey visited every morning. Beautiful view and accommodations. Would return to this one again.

The property was certainly as advertised. The property is well maintained and well appointed. The property managers were professional and responsive. The area is quiet and safe. Without question the most memorable part was the spectacular Kona sunsets!

Beautiful house, very spacious, with a lovely view of the sunset. Our multi-generational family group was very comfortable there. We enjoyed the use of beach chairs, umbrella and bogey boards. Response from property manager was very prompt when we had a few questions. Highly recommended.

The house and lanai were lovely, and well appointed. We always enjoy Keauhou Estates for the view and secure neighborhood, as well as convenience to shopping and beaches.

Our Corporate Trainer loved this location! It was originally booked for our CEO as well, but he wasn't able to join our Trainer on this visit. The feedback was great and I will book this location for them again in the future, as they make the trip out to Kona, 4 times a year. Thanks for the ease in booking and communication. Great location to stay!

This property was exactly as described. The view was spectacular! The gift bag upon arrival was a nice touch. And the extras - like aloe for our sunburns - were thought out and appreciated. We were 2 couples and 2 kids, and everyone had ample room to spread out and relax. The beds were extremely comfortable. The location was very close to the snorkeling we wanted to do - and only about fifteen minutes from the restaurants we wanted to try. We truly had a lovely stay and a wonderful vacation.

Perfect Kona Base Camp
This house is in a beautiful neighborhood and has an excellent sunset view. The house is very comfortable open floor plate with large windows. We found all of the kitchen items to be very handy and perfect for cooking local foods. You can explore the whole island with a relativley short drive from here to beaches, coffee farms, volcanos, downtown Kona,.....

We've stayed @ several VRBO homes through the years. This home was very clean & nicely decorated. We did have some inconveniences--no extra towels or toilet paper in Master Bath. In the manual, it's stated once you run out, you're required to get your own replacement. Never had that stated nor problem @ any other house; most had extra supplies in a closet/pantry. VERY limited kitchen "extras"--ie: no sugar for coffee. There were a few spices in the cabinet. No cooler or ziplock bags for day trips to pack up food so we wouldn't have to buy more. This would have been nice. (We've always had a cooler, plastic wrap, foil, ziplocks in other VRBO stays). Being our 1st time to the BI, we didn't realize how much time we'd be on the road w/limited food options. In the manual it's requested to start a "White Load" before checking out. All the towels were white but we didn't use enough to start a white load. We did a bedding/sheets load. Upon opening the washer after it was done, there was flecks of soap or something ALL over the fabrics. Not sure what that was...On trash collection day, we didn't put the recycling bin on the curb. As my husband was sitting out on the lanai, some lady walked up & proceeded to roll the recycling bin to the curb. My hubby told her: "There's only ONE empty plastic bottle in the bin. I didn't think it was practical to put the recycling bin on the curb to be emptied because it would be wasteful to have the plastic liner dumped out (along w/the one bottle). So the lady put the recycle bin back on the driveway. Perhaps it was a neighbor trying to help out or maybe the owner lives close by in another residence, but we did inform the property company of that scenario & the issue with the washer. We did have issues working the TV in the Master bedroom. With all the cable options listed, the directions didn't coincide with the remote. Watch out for the extended wood bed frame in the MB! Both my hubby & I hit our shins on it since it sticks out underneath the bedspread.

This is a beautiful home-and it’s exactly as portrayed in the listing. Actually, it’s better, because you can see more of the ocean than it seems in the pictures. We ate most meals out on the lanai. At night,after watching the beautiful sunset, it is absolutely silent. Just the breeze rustling the palms. The kitchen is quite spacious and fully equipped. Loved every minute there.

My husband and I spent the winter months at this property. The house was clean, comfortable and the location was perfect. The kitchen was nicely furnished, the beds were comfortable, the living room with up to date TV and entertainment, the BBQ in the back yard.... all were enjoyed! The staff at Elite Pacific were always friendly and prompt. Thanks for the nice winter get away.

My husband and I came here from Oahu for a beautiful Big Island honeymoon. Tricky A/C & strange shower heads with not enough water pressure for us. I didn’t like these features at all. The big hot tub/ bathtub had enough water pressure with the wand, but it too was awkward, with too much water pressure. Hiking on the Big Island is a dirty, sandy, but awesome experience. Kona side gets HOT, especially in the summer. Air conditioning is a must. Overall: The view is amazing and the house is beautiful with everything you need- beach chairs, bbq grill, washer & dryer, beautiful grounds, and so much more. Very safe, gated neighborhood with guard shack. Nice and quiet. Definitely felt like a true getaway. Check in process was awkward but eventually worked out. Don’t speed anywhere on the highway, especially heading back towards Kona from Waikaloa by the airport. It’s full of speed traps. Lots of road construction going on here, so allow extra time for traffic. Tourism is coming back. Which is good for our islands. Kona town is fun, vibrant and slowly coming back to life. I would definitely recommend staying at this beautiful home. It’s great for anyone: small families, couples or two couples. Comfy bed too. Quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Not a party house or party neighborhood. Just chill & relax!

Simply Fantastic!
Simply fantastic! From every aspect superb, we couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more or had better accommodation bar none! The sunsets over the ocean were some of the best of all the places we have traveled in the world---right from the patio. We enjoyed great home cooked dinners there, as well as the occasional rain. The extremely quiet neighborhood is the most beautiful we have ever stayed in, and we spent hours just walking through it trying to take it all in. And the birds…we felt like we were in the middle of a jungle while living in the lap of luxury. The accommodations, the beds, everything, top of the line and the ultimate in comfort. And if all that wasn’t enough, a gated 24 hour live guarded community affording complete safety. Thanks for making our stay one we will never forget and already hope to come back to enjoy again!

Quiet, spacious and clean
We really enjoyed this property. My family of 5 had plenty of room to spread out. The neighborhood was private and quiet, and the view was fantastic! You can see the ocean from the master bed. The property feels very new and clean, and the kitchen is incredibly well stocked with every cooking utensil you may want. Neighborhood grocery and restaurants are close. Unless you are set on having a pool, I can’t imagine there is a better place to stay in greater Kona.

Enjoyed the entire stay at Maile Hale
I stayed at Maile Hale with my parents for our vacation. Overall, I was very impressed with the service and the property. I have had a disappointing experience in the past with other place that was booked through VRBO so I wasn't expecting much this time but I was happy that I was wrong! The property was well cleaned and prepared. Welcome gift was very sweet and heartwarming. Great selection of cookwares! My parents and I love cooking so we were happy that they had a variety of cookwares. We had few small issues that could be bothering but the property manager (Emma) was so friendly and extremely helpful every time we had to call her for help.
The property was located in a very safe gated community with nice, quiet neighborhood. We had no problem leaving the windows open for nice breeze at night.
There is a shopping center nearby so we didn't have a problem with groceries and etc.
One thing that was little unfortunate was there was a strong sweat odour from the Master bedroom bedding so we had to wash the sheets before using and bought fabric refresher. Other than that, everything was perfect. The guidebook is also very informative and the house rules are very reasonable. I highly recommend this property and this is a place where I would like to stay next time I go back! Thank you for the great experience! :)

Keauhou Big Island Vacation
Maile Hale is a wonderful property with a spectacular view of the Kona Coast from the gated community in the hills above the coast. The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood with properties that feel secluded due to the size of the lots and the lovely Hawaiian foliage surrounding the home. The property management company left us a nice welcome basket with some tasty snacks to get us started. The home is very comfortable with all of the modern amenities needed to enjoy a relaxing vacation. Two bedrooms are adjacent to one of the bathrooms on one end of the home, with the master bedroom/master bath on the opposite end. The master bedroom has a large hd-tv, as does the main living area. The two other bedrooms have smaller tv's in each. The property is ideally situated 10-15 minutes to Kailua-Kona town with many shopping and restaurant options, and also 10-15 minutes from other dining options further south. There is a shopping center just 5 minutes away with a KTA grocery store that has everything you need. The drive from the Kona airport is approximately 25 minutes (traffic dependent). Unlike other locations on the Kona Coast, the tradewinds are relatively calm here, which was nice. There were some minor issues which we relayed to the property management team to make the stay for the next guests even better (the remote for the ceiling fan/light in the kitchen wasn't working, toilet paper holder in master bath is loose and coming out of the drywall, and the shower curtain in the main bathroom's shower/tub is not very effective in keeping water from splashing outside the tub). Please don't take these as criticisms - just observations. Maile-Hale is a wonderful property in a spectacular location. This was our first trip to the Big Island, and our week in paradise was absolutely memorable!
