What a beautiful and relaxing place to stay! The view was spectacular and the back deck was perfect for meals, working or just relaxing. It was great to stay in a neighborhood a little bit away from the main resorts and hotels. Owner was very kind to let us check in early due to a flight change too.

Beautifully appointed and designed cottage with breathtaking views, meticulously clean, and a great and convenient location in the hills above Kailua-Kona. Equipped with everything one may need for cooking and grilling and all other amenities, including equipment for beach visits. Super comfortable bed in which you wake up looking at luscious greenery and the Ocean. And a very welcoming and proactively communicating and responsive host who greeted us with delicious coffee and chocolate covered macademia nuts.

We love being a little up on the mountain where it is a little cooler and you get such beautiful views. It does not take long to be at the beach, stores or restaurants. The house was really clean and Esther was the perfect host. Great place for a Kona get away. ##### Teresa B.

We felt so relaxed coming back after each day of exploring the big island to pour a drink and relax on the lanai cook on the bbq and sleep so soundly with the doors open. All the extras provided such as beach chairs snorkelling gear beach towels sunblock were so very much appreciated, we would highly recommend this wee gem as your stay on the big island..Mahalo ##### Nicola C.

We stayed for 6 nights and it worked out great. It’s away from the main drag so you get the quiet and privacy but close enough that you can be in Kona in a few minutes drive. Esther was great, good communication and very helpful with questions. ##### Erik T. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter O. May 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy / up on hill Everything was perfect. The property is quaint and for 1-2 people unit has everything, including beautiful sunsets. This is for nature types — birds and frogs chirping in morning and evenings, but really peaceful, but if that’s not your thing (ie sleeping in late), then you may want a hotel room. Hosts were awesome. ##### Peter O. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen B.

The property is clean and well appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Communicating with Esther was easy and she was quick to respond. Our absolute favorite part is the beautiful view from lanai. We highly recommend Esther’s cottage and hope to return again! ##### Kathleen B.

The cottage is very well kept , clean and perfect for 2 people. Daniel and Esther are attentive and gracious hosts. The rural setting is peaceful but town is readily accessible. Bring binoculars to enjoy the view of the ocean below and the many birds. We had a great time... Mahalo Lehman’s. ##### Cherrie T. Stayed 10 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leigh W. Oct 19, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for us! Just right for two, Hale Maluhia is beautifully designed and appointed, with some great art pieces (ask the Lehmans about their artist friends Terry and Mike Field!), and a wonderful lanai with a to-die-for view. Access from the car was easy for my husband, who uses a walker. The place is compact and very comfortable, and the Lehmans were very welcoming and available. We would definitely stay again! ##### Leigh W. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen B.

The back deck where the dining table was located was visibly dirty. While I realize this is a covered outdoor space, a thorough sweeping of the deck was greatly needed ##### Karen B.
