Hale Mele Polynesian Pod Style with Pool/Hot Tub, Gazebo, Golf Cart & Ebikes

As an airline pilot, husband, and father of three, I bring a strong attention to detail, reliability, and a deep sense of responsibility into everything I do — including hosting. My career has instilled in me the importance of safety, organization, and anticipating the needs of others, and I apply those same principles to creating exceptional guest experiences.
Having been a VRBO guest for over 15 years and a host for the past 5 years, I understand both sides of the experience. I know what makes a stay truly memorable — comfort, thoughtful touches, clear communication, and a seamless experience from booking to departure.
Hosting allows me to combine my love for travel with my passion for hospitality. My goal is simple: to provide a stay that exceeds expectations and welcomes guests back year after year.

We chose this neighborhood because it offers the perfect balance of privacy, luxury, and true island beauty. Nestled within the gated community of Champion Ridge in the renowned Mauna Lani Resort, it feels peaceful and exclusive while still being close to everything that makes the Big Island so special.
What we love most is how quiet and serene it feels. You wake up to soft island breezes, sunshine filtering through tropical landscaping, and the relaxed rhythm that makes Hawaii magical. Evenings are just as special — golden sunsets, warm air, and the calm that comes after a beautiful beach day.
One of our favorite perks is the private access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club. The white sand cove and calm, clear water make it perfect for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing in a lounge chair. It’s rarely crowded, which makes it feel like your own hidden paradise.
Within minutes, you can enjoy world-class golf, scenic coastal hikes, oceanfront dining, tennis, and incredible snorkeling reefs. Yet when you return home, it’s quiet, private, and truly restful.
For us, this neighborhood represents everything we love about the Big Island — natural beauty, relaxation, and effortless island living — and we’re excited to share it with our guests.

What makes Hale Mele unique is the combination of luxury, privacy, and thoughtful hosting. Located within the prestigious Mauna Lani resort area, guests enjoy exclusive access to a private beach club with calm waters, white sand, and exceptional snorkeling — a rare and valuable perk.
