Hale Ma'ukele was a great find and we were lucky there was availability for the night we arrived.

It was easy to book and Mark and his brother Adam were very responsive from the moment I made the request to rent.

Hale Ma'ukele was a perfect place to begin our family vacation on Big Island. A beautifully designed and appointed house surrounded by nature, my husband and I, and our four adult children loved this place as soon as we arrived. It exudes the 'aloha' spirit: harmonious and at one with Nature. We all highly recommend this house for families and friends who want to be together, and still have space to be on your own when wanted. Great for solo travelers or couples too.

The location is perfect: quiet and peaceful, and a short drive from the volcano, grocers, farmer's market and restaurants.

The only thing I am sorry about is we only had time for an overnight this trip ! Would love to go back and stay for a week and spend time exploring the area more. We have recommended this lovely home to our friends who live in Kona, and will be recommending to other friends who plan to go to Big Island.

Hale Ma'ukele has me sold on using Airbnb on my travels!
