Well kept, well stocked and well looked after place.Enjoyed staying here immensely. Filled with thoughtful adds - games, DVDs, detailed instruction, even had all the manuals for the multiple appliances supplied for use.I would love to stay there any time I am in the area.Just one thing to be aware of is that this only has 1 official parking spot available, but the instruction sheet does suggest how to accommodate for more than the one spot

Everything we could have asked for and more! This was the perfect location to cheer on my husband during the Ironman triathlon. Our two teens had their own beds to sleep in, my parents had their own room as well. The kitchen was fully stocked so we could prepare, cook or grill all of our food, and we enjoyed sitting outside each night watching the sunset. Having access to a pool and a private beach was amazing. The home was impeccably clean and Jan has thought of everything you could possibly need. If you have a family member participating in next year’s Ironman, this is the ideal location for proximity and comfort. We loved staying here. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the privilege of our stay so we could celebrate our 2 sons and their accomplishments of graduation. The condo was wonderful! Everything was perfect! Comfortable for us all. We cooked many meals, bbq on the lani, swam in the pool that’s just steps out the back, we went snorkeling at the beach club, hiked to a black sand beach, nighttime manta ray snorkel, saw waterfalls, volcanoes, learned lots of Hawaiian history and visited lots of historical places and landmarks. So much yummy food (Lava lava beach club, Fish and the Hog, Hawaiian doughnuts, shaved ice) and so much more. The condo truly felt like home away from home, so thoughtfully furnished and stocked for your comfort and convenience. We stopped at Costco and stocked up on food we needed for the week but so many little things like spices and condiments were provided and if there was anything we didn’t have we were able to grab at a nearby store. Sadly our stay of 9 days went way too fast and we had to say goodbye but our amazing memories will be forever!Thank you again for making our stay so enjoyable we hope to be back sooner than later.

Truly, one of our families, favorite getaways! The property was clean, very comfortable, and close to a tremendous amount of amenities. Access to the beach club is such a gift! We enjoyed snorkeling, listening to the beautiful music from the restaurant, and exploring different shops and restaurants that were all a short bike ride away. We cannot recommend this Listing enough!

We had a great experience staying at the condo. It was exactly as described. We have stayed at other condos in Mauna Lani and have loved them all! The kids loved the pool and we loved its proximity to the ocean, including the private beach club!

Such a lovely property. We wanted for nothing, and we loved the convenience of Foodland down the street plus the beach club.

The condo complex is conveniently located to Kona but also things we wanted to do more north such as Waimea, Hawi, and beaches above Kona area. Access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club was the best! Loved the little market nearby. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with kitchen, laundry, and beach essentials. My kids had so much fun with the boogie boards provided. We appreciated the cooler and beach chairs and that we never ran out of basics like toilet paper, soaps, and paper towels like we've experienced at other rentals. The condo complex is so quiet- perfect for sitting out on the lanais and for enjoying the pool and jacuzzi at night after our long days at the beach. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Condo is in quiet, pristine, gated community. We stay in rentals several times a year and this property was #1. Just as described and pictured. Wonderful place to relax in the morning on the patios, as well as after a long day of activities. Beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, comfortable furnishings and beds with quality linens. Condo was extremely well stocked throughout, including many extras like coolers, ice packs, chairs, bikes, snorkel gear that made our trip even more enjoyable. We didn’t use the pool, but the facilities were lovely. We were all over the island, but thought this location was superb. Great weather, close to many great beaches, restaurants, Kona, the north end and the airport. Excellent communication with the property manager and host including great recommendations for activities and restaurants.

Loved the Condo! Comfortable beds, well supplied kitchen ( could use a martini shaker). Wonderful location! Close to shops, resorts and our favorite beaches. I am being picky about my rating because we found a dirty coffee cup in the cupboard and one of the toilets kept getting stuck when flushing.

Absolutely lovely place!! Plenty of space, kid-friendly, quiet. I can tell that the owner put a lot of thought into making this home comfortable. Well-organized, well-designed and I appreciated the clear communications and the notebook that was available about what to see and do as well as how to operate any amenities in and near the place. The community pool was close by and we enjoyed the access to the Beach Club. Nothing was lacking. The house was well-stocked with paper products, kitchenware, and entertainment for all ages. I would love to come back! We had a fantastic time here! Mahalo!!

The townhome in the Fairways development was comfortable with a large pool. We enjoyed the owner’s beach which had decent snorkeling and is next to a large fish pond with some cool large fish and nesting birds. The house has chairs, umbrellas snorkel gear and a cooler for beach days.Other beaches are also close to this location. We went to the Fairmont Orchid Hotel beach one day and enjoyed a more catered day at the beach which is fun too. We were two couples and had plenty of privacy and tranquility.

This is a well appointed property and is exactly as advertised. Everything was very clean and well organized. The electronic "welcome book" was super helpful to get quickly oriented. The owners were quick with communication. Overall a really great property if you are a family with kids or 2 couples. We'd definitely stay here again.

Our family had a great vacation staying here. The location was perfect and the property itself was also great. This was probably the best stocked vacation rental we have ever stayed at, from the kitchen utensils/bakeware/food to beach towels to all the beach and pool accessories and toys you could need. They even had birthday candles, which we used to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Not only was it incredibly stocked but everything was very organized and clearly labeled. Overall, it was the perfect place for our family vacation.

This was our third stay in the Mauna Lani area and this condo was perfect for our group of four. The condo is centrally located (close to pool area and shopping center), clean, and well stocked. The teenagers in our group enjoyed the freedom of the available bikes and we used the beach gear every day. The outdoor areas are private and very peaceful. We very much appreciated the well stocked game cabinet and local books and recommendations. The owners were very communicative and easy to work with. We’ll be back for round 4!

Laura’s place was perfect for our 8 day family holiday- spacious, great location, clean, and well stocked with everything a family could use on a tropical holiday. We also ate all our suppers in, and the kitchen had everything we needed plus more. Beach club access was another bonus, especially since the location offers some natural shade. Laura was also very responsive to our questions. We would love to return here on our next holiday, thank-you so much for sharing your place!

The townhouse was clean. It had all the amenities as listed. There was lots of room. There are lots of regular and beach towels to use. The laundry was useful to have and worked well. The kitchen had lots of appliances to use. The BBQ was also easy to use. There was 4 single speed bikes which we used to get around the area. The pool and hot tub area seemed nice though we mostly went to the beach. The Beach Club included with the stay is nice and the snorkelling is very good there. It was nice to walk along the shore and see all the ponds with fish. It's a reasonable walk to the ocean and the store from the location. Overall it is a very nice place to stay.

We had a great stay in Kona and absolutely loved this condo. The space was larger than it appears in the photos and very well appointed. We really appreciated the beach gear and all the tips and tricks left for us in order to best enjoy the island. Next time we will stay longer as we didn’t have near enough time to do everything we wanted.

April 2025

We had a fantastic stay at Laura’s property! She was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a great trip. The home itself was well-stocked with plenty of supplies and amenities, making our stay even more comfortable. The location was perfect—close to lots of fun activities and attractions. Plus, being so close to the pool was a huge bonus! We highly recommend staying here and would love to come back in the future.

This home very well located within the property, being very close to the pool and exercise room. The grocery store was very close as well and the prices weren't outrageous. The a/c seemed a little weird because while people froze upstairs, wecooked downstairs. we cooked downstairs.

Property was just as listed. Directions were really good for our arrival to go smooth. The location was very convenient and we did lots of walking in the area. Groc store and a few other amenities were about a 10 min walk. This included a nice little coffee shop to walk to in the morning. The area was really quiet. We had small children and the pool was excellent for them. They spent hours in the pool. Would definitely go back to this place.

This condo is so very comfortable. Everything you need to prepare meals or go on a beach adventure is provided. This is our third visit to the “ Big Island” and this condo has been our best so far. The pool is big with plenty of lounging chairs. There are so many beaches within minutes of the complex. Looking forward to our next visit.

You won’t be disappointed if you book this property. The location is great with easy access to shops, beaches, restaurants and activities. The beach club access was a huge hit with our kids and an easy place to go and relax with no worries about rough water. The hosts were very quick to respond and super helpful with tips on what to do and where to go. The property itself was one of the best we’ve stayed at. It was well-kept, beautiful view and great location within the complex. It had so many extras that made it easy to be on vacation but still feel at home, especially with the kids. The pool was great and easy to get to. Would definitely recommend!

We have been staying at different rentals on the island for over 18 years and this one has definitely ranked way up in the top 3. The house is private, clean and quiet as it’s on the end of a cul de sac of sorts and backs up to one of the many golf courses so there wasn’t a lot of road noise, the landscaping is well maintained and we were all very comfortable. The benefit of access to the beach club and community pools were a huge hit for my group of kids and adults alike. The proximity to golf and shopping was so helpful as well. Seriously we highly recommended this spot to anyone wanting to relax and not worry about packing or buying beach gear as the unit was fully stocked with boogie boards and beach chairs etc. We will definitely be returning one day hopefully. Thank you.
