It is a lovely property, modern, well maintained, clean, spacious, and quiet. The ocean breezes kept it comfortably cool. We were very comfortable staying there. Viewing the sunset over the ocean from the deck was a treat. Highly recommended.
This rental is back from the coast, sits high enough to provide a great view and the perfect temperature. Located so going to the beach is easy, or traveling more inland. Hosts areare so helpful
Comfortable space with a fabulous deck for meals and beverages overlooking the ocean and lovely sunsets. Very convenient for picking up/dropping off at the local airport. We would definitely book again.
We loved the ocean views from the bedroom and front porch, as well as the coqui chorus in the evenings. Hosts were friendly and helpful. The property was clean and convenient to the airport and local grocery store. Would definitely return next time we're on the Big island..
This is our second stay on Kona and we chose the same house both times. The home is great with outstanding views and great front deck. The home is well furnished and very clean. The owners are absolutely accommodating. Highly recommend!
Wonderful home with spacious rooms and beautiful hillside ocean views. Perfect for three couples on vacation. If you enjoy a morning run the hills will challenge you! Recommend visiting nearby Mountain Thunder Coffee for a tour.
The right kind of VRBO experience! In a neighborhood with local flavor, as a VRBO renter your patronage helps support a local family and a community but does not make a housing shortage worse by taking away available housing. Very comfortable, clean accommodations, quiet, with full kitchen and a great ocean facing deck. A gem on the side of the mountain.
Our stay was good but pillows and bed couldve been better. Grandson woke up screaming cuz he had a kink in his neck from sleeping on one of the pillows. Overall our stay was fine.
The Hosts were wonderful. The space fit our needs for two couples, Well stocked and clean. They provided a variety of things to do and places to eat. All were good. We were a bit surprised at the location of the house deep within a housing subdivision. Outside of that - it was a great house with great hosts.
Great stay!! Quiet you could hear the frogs on the evening. I thought it would bother me but it as quite fascinating and now I’m home and I miss it😂😂😂😂Gem of a stay!! Yey!!
The property is just as the photos present but the best part of the stay were the hosts! Kuule and Garrett are so friendly and accommodating! We never needed anything! And when returned flights were cancelled for some of us; Kuule was quick to offer their other accommodations and a car rental at reduced prices.
Our stay was a blast and visiting with this young family made it even better! We all highly recommend this property!

Didn’t realize unit was on second floor and difficult to ascend with suitcases. Toilets backed up easily. Listed 3 pm check-in time and was told upon arrival check-in was 4 pm. Roosters crowing and stray cat was annoying. Street filled with idle cars and trucks on the footpaths gave the suburban area a run down feel.
Clean and well appointed. Beautiful west facing view for gorgeous sundowns. We took advantage of the gas grill on the deck on more than one occasion.
I think the only thing that should be mentioned is that the rental is the second floor of a two story structure. The owners occupy the ground floor. I share this just for awareness. It shouldn't deter a rental; the family are great and unobtrusive unless you need them.
We loved staying here! We were only on the big island for a short time but as soon as we walked in the door I loved the beachy vibe! The house was clean and airy! It was nice to be able to use the washer and dryer while we were there. Although we didn't get a chance to go play at the beach there was a nice supply of beach supplies there for us to use. Thank you so much for the beautiful stay!
We had a fabulous time staying in this beautiful home. Everything was perfect...there is nothing I would change. We especially loved sitting out on the lanai overlooking the ocean with a warm fire in front of us. Perfect.
We truly enjoyed our time at this property. We loved being away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Kona yet we were still close enough to enjoy all Kailua-Kona has to offer. The property was clean and comfortable and the views cannot be beaten.
We absolutely loved this property. The house is very nice and the owners are so kind! We were very impressed with everything and enjoyed every moment of our stay there!

Four of us enjoyed our stay at “The House of Peace.” The house is comfortable and spacious with a terrific balcony and sunset view. The family that owns the property is friendly and helpful. They live directly below the rental. As a previous reviewer mentioned this home is in a subdivision with small lots so you are sharing your Hawaiian experience with others living real (non vacationing) lives.

Home away from home!
Two days into our 6 night stay my husband and agreed: Ka Hale O” Mahuhia felt like home. The hostess greeted us and provided an introduction to the home and a gift of wine and fruit. The kitchen, linen closet, game supply, water toys and Hawaii guidebooks were ample and quality! The view from the deck was stunning. Beds were comfortable and the windows and huge fans provided great ventilation for comfortable nights! We highly recommend the home. You won’t be disappointed. We like the location because it is close to our favorite beaches and out of the Kona busy day and night life. If you want a quiet, comfortable place to wake up, use as a daily departure point, and relax at night, this is it!

Fantastic stay
We enjoyed our stay so much in this apartment and we were sad when we had to leave. Three nights were just not enough. The Steinkes are so sweet and great to talk to. When we arrived they greeted us and we had a good chat about local restaurants and things to do. The apartment was clean (always important for us) and just beautiful. In the evening we enjoyed the fire pit and beautiful sunsets and after this we could even watch a Netflix movie in bed ;)
We would definitely come back and can highly recommend this apartment to other travellers.

Perfect place. Perfect view. Wonderful owners!
Most excellent. Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teenaged boys) really enjoyed this house.
It has very little road noise, and very quiet as a whole. The owners were great- everything was ready for us including all the beach supplies we needed! The finishings inside were first rate, with all the cooking items you could need. The beds and pillows were very comfortable.
The view- can't say enough about the view. Amazing. You won't regret staying here one bit!

Ka Hale 'O Maluhi location is convenient, close to amenities, neighborhood quiet and serene. The bedrooms were cool and comfortable. We had most of our meals in the fully equipped kitchen. The spacious living room provided ample room for relaxing and visiting. We spent lots of time on the deck, morning coffee, late evenings and a nice refuge when raining. Laundry facilities were convenient and the beach equipment was much appreciated. Our hosts were wonderful and very helpful with recommendations for dining and activities. Such a wonderful environment for our vacation.
