Mele Kohola Song Of The Whales

Experience Paradise at Mele Kohola: Your Front Yard Whale Watching Haven!

Welcome to Mele Kohola, a home where the magic of Hawaii comes alive! Nestled in a location where the waters are deep and the coastline forms a gentle cove, this stunning residence offers front-row seats to nature's most captivating show. During whale season, watch these magnificent creatures leap and play right outside your door, with dolphins joining the spectacle close to shore.

Enjoy panoramic bi-coastal views from nearly every room, including two inviting front lanais. Greet the sunrise from your front porch, set up chairs along the cliffs for sunset, or unwind in the hot tub as the sun dips below the horizon. Let the soothing sounds of waves lull you to sleep and feel the constant ocean breeze as you relax.

Mele Kohola isn't just a home—it's an embodiment of the Hawaiian spirit. This is more than just a vacation; it’s a lifestyle. Welcome to your personal paradise. Aloha!
The vacation home features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Breathtaking views from your room

The location is fantastic with great sunrise views. We saw whales offshore on our first morning there. The description is completely accurate and it accommodated our group of six perfectly. Our only regret was not planning a day to just relax and enjoy the view.
