About this property

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!

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Mar 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sending a plumber to address the shower leak. Also, few months ago we’ve added new cushions on all couches for better comfort. We sincerely apologize for the possible shower leak and that the furniture was not comfortable enough for you. We always welcome guests to reach out anytime, as we can always help address issues such as tv operation or leaks. Unfortunately, this was brought up after the stay and we would have been glad to help as soon as possible. Thank you again for being our guest!

This is a wondefully comfortable house with everything you might need. It is not downtown, which is to our liking, but has an expansive ocean view! We loved that it has seating for 6 since it sleeps 6 and even beach chairs and a cooler for use! Host is very responsive to requests and even met us stay a little longer on check out day! Would 100% recomend this place and stay here again if we come back to HI!

Perfect base for Big Island adventure

Such a wonderful place to be for island adventures. So close to the airport, close to the manta ray adventures and pickup for our Mauna Kea sunset adventure. The neighborhood was so quiet and the view was so beautiful. The layout was perfect for separating our family groups (us and our adult children). Our only regret was that we did not have more time to spend there.

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.

Unbeatable place, view, location!pp

If you are looking for stunning views, in a safe, secure gated park-like setting, w/upscale neighborhood w/ helpful & friendly neighbors, with awesome homeowners to deal with, whom I found to be helpful, informative, prompt to respond & accommodating, (yet respect ur privacy), w/a location that’s super close to everything u could need, (I.e. most venues, dining of all types, shopping, even post office, Walmart, Lowe’s, etc). , then it doesn’t get better than this & bonus, it’s a great value too. The home is super clean, has anything anyone could want for, the owners have everything well stocked & thought out! I can’t rate it any higher, or I would! I was thrilled when my other plans fell through (I had originally booked 3 days s on Hilo side), & I was able to extend my stay in this spacious beautiful home.

Great place in a gated community

We are family of six, three generations, staying here for a week. Everything is smooth from the 1st inquiry to final security deposit refund. Owner is very responsive and pleasant to work with. The house is clean and well stocked. The view from lani is awesome! We BBQ twice there. Kitchen is great too! We cooked couple dinners and almost all breakfast there. The location is convenient, next to Walmart and Safeway. Owner also allowed us check out a few hours late without charge as the night we left was not rented out. I cannot ask for more. Love the place! Thank you!

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.

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Josephine

Host profile image
Our family loves to travel. Friends who live in Kona introduced us to this wonderful paradise. We were convinced that this will be our retiring place so we decided to find the right home. We did and this is the Malulani Green Haven.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the location of this house. It is on top of rock wall overlooking the most gorgeous panoramic view of the ocean. The house was built for our retirement home in paradise. The master bath was redesigned to fit a jacuzzi. We planted our favorite dwarf mango tree in front. Our first morning was the most exciting since we did not expect to see two cruise ships docked in our view from the lanai. Our family would like to share with you the experience of living in this lovely place and hope you will agree with our choice.

What makes this property unique

Malulani Gardens is a gated neighborhood right in the heart of Kailua-Kona. The location is very convenient to go anywhere whether it is to the beach, getting a quick meal, Starbucks coffee (around the corner) or picking up forgotten items (2 min from Walmart, Safeway). The tourist area of Ali'i Drive is only two miles away.
