This property is very beautiful. We had a great time on our trip and it was always great to come back to the hot tub overlooking a tropical paradise. Michael was very helpful with everything, and was very fast to respond when an issue came up. We will definitely stay here again if we make it back to the big island.

Very welcoming house manager. Clean, quiet, and beautiful landscaping. I can tell it was thoroughly thought out. Areas for improvement is just covers over the skylight in the master bedroom and master bathroom for sleeping. We thought there would be a remote but there didn’t seem to be. Other than that amazing.

Wow what an amazing place! I could have spent weeks admiring all the plants and trees and still found new beauty. Everything is so thoughtfully put together. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and inside and out everything was super clean. Michael was so kind to show us around the property as well.

A place of magic and unexpected beauty.

The entire experience was as expected and better. The photos do not do the property justice — though they accurately represent how amazing it is — and Michael is a fantastic connecting and caretaker of the property. I hope we can return year and year.

My family and I spent a wonderful week at Hale Muhalo. The property is even more beautiful in person and the house was clean, modern and extremely comfortable for a family of five. Michael is a wonderful host and the care he and his team put into the place really shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone who is looking for peace and tranquility on their trip to the Big Island.
