It's exactly as advertised. Situated in convenient location in Golf Villas community, lovely view over 10th Hole of South Course. Outdoor parking space. We did not use any of the beach equipment. Kitchen well equipped. Bed linens and mattresses are showing wear. We used only the Master Bedroom. Small, but new equipment, in the workout building. This was my 5th stay in Golf Villas and have used the Villages about 6 times, and I would definitely book it again.

Wonderful, relaxing holiday in a beautiful home and location. Lovely Kitchen with all that you need to prepare your own meals. Great communication with host. Thank you for this lovely get-away.

This was a beautiful home and great location on the south course of Mauna Lani. The patio area was protected from any winds. We would rent this house in the future.

This was a fantastic place for our family of 6. Located in a quiet, pretty neighborhood with a beautiful pool and close to everything! Great walks, a sandy beach, restaurants, bars, and a grocery store. We had adventure days diving out of Kona, snorkeling from Puako and exploring the other side of the island (we highly recommend checking out the botanical garden!) and also quiet days of lounging on the beach or the pool, going to the farmer's market, and walking the cliffside "Fisherman's trail" walk. Jo Ann's place was the perfect home base. We can't wait to return!

What a beautiful townhome and location this was for our family during the holidays! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The home is spacious, sparkling clean, and includes all the amenities you could want. We loved the location close to the coastline and historic fishponds, yet also near a grocery store and shopping area, and an easy drive to beaches up and down the Kohala coast. We definitely hope to return! Highly recommended!

This home is just perfect for our family. We hope to come back and stay again! Jo Ann was very responsive to my couple of inquiries while here. The kitchen is well-supplied. We used the beach chairs, umbrella and wagon from the garage. We visited the pool each day, after hanging out at one of the several nearby beaches. It was a perfect vacation for us!

A very peaceful quiet beautiful place to stay during our incredible time on the big island:)
Our place was very clean and comfortable and Jo Ann was a lovely host.
Though not originally planned Jo Ann arranged a late check out for us as we had a late flight back home. This allowed us to really relax and enjoy the last day without having to worry about our belongings.
Thank you Jo Ann for helping to make our last day really count!
Warm regards,
Raegan

Within a few days of checking into this amazing townhouse we called the owner and asked for a month next year. The expansive golf course and mountain views, larger than usual patios and lanai, wonderful furnishings, and lots of light were the main attractions. But the attention to detail (some staples and condiments but not crammed shelves, liquid soap at all sinks and showers, a user friendly outside grill, new patio furnishings, silk flowers, and lots of utensils/kitchen tools, nice patio dining, plush towels and cotton tea towels, etc.) is what made our two weeks like staying in a high end hotel room. We have stayed in four different condominiums at Mauna Lani over the past 15 years and this is the best.

We’re reluctant to leave a good review only because we want to keep this place all to ourselves. We had a fantastic trip and this is the best location!

We had an excellent week staying at Jo Ann’s beautiful condo. The condo had absolutely everything you would need for a beach vacation and the kitchen had all the appliances and utensils to feel like you were in your own home. The bikes were ideal to get to and from the beach if others took the car to go to a different location (though one of the pedals on one bike was broken but hopefully that will get fixed). Otherwise, it’s about a 20 minute easy walk to 2 great beaches. Jo Ann was very communicative and helpful and we appreciated her hospitality and all recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The owners were very easy to work with and the level of communication with them was perfect. The house was just as described and was well stocked with cooking and beach supplies. They also provided ample towels which is always nice. The pool was also great and heated to a perfect temperature. The grounds were spotless and it is by far the quietest place we’ve stayed in the Waikoloa area. Highly recommend.

The property was exactly what we expected. Location was perfect and made for easy travel to all parts of the island. JoAnn was a wonderful, accommodating host. I highly recommend this property.
We would stay here again if we return to the Big Island.

Great location and grounds are well maintained. Easy to contact and work with owner/manager. Pool area is nice. Great to have access to the private beach for younger swimmers.

We had an excellent 13-day stay at the condo. The unit is spacious, yet very welcoming & comfortable. We were instantly relaxed. It was very clean and the provisions (towels, beach chairs, bikes etc) were abundant. The patios have excellent views of the golf course and the unit felt very secluded & private. The neighborhood is well-laid out and its a mere minute's walk to the pool. The pool was never too crowded no matter what time of day we were there. All people we encountered there were courteous & friendly.
The location is also ideal - a short drive to the beach & store and just a few miles from Waikaloa.
Jo Ann was an excellent host - very attentive and responsive. We will be visiting again should the opportunity arise.

Our family of four (2 teens) had a great time at Jo Ann's place. We have stayed in Mauna Lani several times before but Golf Villas is our new favorite! There were great views from the townhome and it is well supplied with everything you could need in the kitchen and for the beach. We also enjoyed riding the bicycles around Mauna Lani and to the black sand beach. Jo Ann was great to work with and the only issue was not wanting to leave. We can't wait to get back! Thank you for the great stay!

We stayed for two weeks at Jo Ann's place. The condo was as described, on the golf course and very comfortable. Grill was really nice and both outdoor patios were very comfortable to spend time. Jo Ann was a breeze to deal with.
Perhaps because of Covid, there were some things that could be better for the next guest.
1. Many lightbulbs throughout the condo were out, and I could not find replacements. This was inconvenient.
2. The bottom bathroom needs a new toilet seat. This was the most challenging thing to deal with.
3. The top floor fan did not work and made for a very hot bedroom unless you turn on air conditioning.
4. The location is GREAT for biking but neither bike in the garage worked even after I borrowed a tire pump. Tires were old and did not hold air. Having working bikes would have upped our vacation tremendously.
All in all, a good stay. The issues could have probably been dealt with by the property manager if we had called, but I just don't like to deal with such things on vacation; I like the place to be ready for a nice stay with all the things in working order. I think the owner will address them for the next guest because she is very responsive. Location was terrific.

This home was just wonderful for two moms and our married children. 3 bedrooms and 3 baths allowed space for all. The pictures are accurate. We loved the kitchen. It was nicely appointed with anything a cook might need. My son barbecued every night and the weather allowed outdoor dinners throughout our stay. The master bedroom is huge and the other two were extremely comfortable. The beds were wonderful with very nice linens. We found our way to the white sand beach and the black sand beach but also enjoyed hiking on the northern tip Pololu and Waipio and Capt Cooks beach south of Kona. The volcano blew the night we arrived and we enjoyed that long day to see the crater and steam vents. We had a wonderful New Year dinner at Tommy Bahama but mostly cooked at home during Covid. I highly recommend staying here at Jo Ann’s home. You will be delighted as we were. I recommend this home without hesitation.

We really had a time of our life! We enjoyed the golf villas, the beaches and location of this home. Our family fit right in like hand in glove and will plan to return to this island many more times 😊when looking to purchase we will look at the Golf villas as our first choice for our ohana! Shelli

This was our 8th year here at the Golf Villas. We absolutely love it here. The kitchen has everything you would need to prepare your family meals. Plenty of pyrex, pots and pans, rice cooker, crockpot, hand mixture, blender etc... There are beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, snorkeling gear and a cooler bag for the beach. The couch is super comfy and large enough for the whole family. JoAnn is absolutely lovely and I highly recommend her home.
