The property was immaculate and the views are phenomenal. From the lanai you have a great view of the sunset, or you can walk down behind the 15th golf green of Mauna Lani's South Course and get some wonderful photos each evening. There is plenty of snorkeling equipment in the condo and a hidden gem for snorkeling is located behind Mauna Lani's 15th tee box, just a few hundred feet away from the condo. There is an abundance of marine life in the shallows and we saw yellow tangs, parrotfish, triggerfish, butterflyfish, and moorish idols, all within 20 feet of the shore. Further out in the cove it drops off to about 25 feet in depth and we were able to swim at a safe distance with several green sea turtles on a calm morning.This is a black sand / rocky type of beach entry so you will want to wear reef shoes or snorkeling booties for foot protection. The Mauna Lani Beach Club has a beautiful sandy beach and is a short walk for swimming and snorkeling.From the condo it is a 2-hour drive across Saddle Road to Volcanoes National Park, 20 minutes up to the town of Waimea for some great food (try the Fish and the Hog or Underground Pizza), 35 minutes to Kona International Airport, and 5-10 minutes for shopping and dining in either Mauna Lani, Queens Marketplace or the Kings Shops in Waikoloa.Jason was great and made the check-in process extremely easy.We would definitely come back again and we already miss the island breeze, turquoise waters and palm trees of the Big Island.

This was our 3rd visit to the Big Island, having previously stayed in Waikoloa Village and at another home within the Mauna Lani Resort. We were not converts to the Big Island until this visit, staying at the Coastal Dreams villa. The location is next level - unobstructed views of the ocean/sunsets, short walk to the Mauna Lani snorkel beach and closest building to the Mauna Lani Point pool. There is also a spectacular snorkel opportunity off of the golf course.We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I traveled with my 80year old parents who were very comfortable in this condo. The space plan of the condo is very efficient - bedrooms are a nice size and it was perfect for our 3 person party. The kitchen is basic and small but worked well for us. I was worried that it would not be cool enough as the AC would not go below 72 degrees but guess what? That was plenty cool for us. While we brought our own, there is plenty of snorkel equipment and beach/pool supplies in the storage unit that comes with the condo. Bring your own pillow if you are a sensitive sleeper (like me). The property management company was very quick to respond to one minor issue with one of the bathrooms and hopefully by the time this review is published, the noise from the dryer has been fixed.Otherwise, enjoy the heck out of this condo. When we return to the island, we will not doubt book this location again. It was absolutely fantastic.

The property was perfect. We had 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The location is on a golf hole overlooking the ocean. You can not access the ocean from there but the beach is a 3 min drive. Everything is a drive away so you do have to grocery shop or drive for food. The property is clean, well stocked and quiet.

Very happy we chose this condo for our two week vacation. The location and view was fantastic. The condo was very comfortable, clean and well stocked. The management company was great to work with. We will choose this condo on our next visit. Highly recommend

Our eight day getaway was perfect. The property was conveniently located, just a very short drive to the beach club, golf course and shopping. We dined in on some nights and found everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen. Coffee on the lanai every morning was a peaceful start to the adventure filled days. Can’t wait to go again. Thank you!

Great location - literally right on the water and the property had a nice pool my daughter loved. The condo was super spacious and we were so comfortable. Property manager was super responsive for the little things that needed attention. Would 100% come back.

From the moment we walked in, the kids said "Wow, this is paradise". The views are second to none with plenty of grass in the backyard to enjoy the breathing sunsets. The condo was equipped with everything you could possibly think of. Even the beach equipment included chairs, umbrellas, noodles and snorkeling gear. Access to the beach club was a definite highlight. Check in and communication was amazing. Highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo. It is well equipped with every amenity one would need during your stay. The expansive sliding glass doors open to a large lanai. We ate all of our meals at the lanai dining table and relaxed for hours in the lanai loungers. The views of the ocean and golf course are beautiful with a continuous breeze. The bedrooms are separated with en suite bathrooms making it perfect for 2 couples. The gated community provided both security and privacy. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking for high quality accommodations.

The view is unbeatable! Every morning breakfast and coffee on the lanai, looking out over the beautiful tropical Pacific. Literally had a Nene family visit us one morning. The unit was lovely, albeit the 2nd and 3rd bathrooms need updating. Great blender and furnishings.

The condo was as beautiful as the pictures. The unit was clean and had everything you would need in the kitchen. The only complaint I have is that I called the property management company to see if housekeeping could come by and exchange the bed linens and towels mid week. I explained that I did not need housekeeping services, that I had stripped the bed and had all towels gathered and placed by front door. I was told that I would need to do my own laundry they could not provide fresh linens. At the rate per night I didn't feel I was asking for much to get fresh linens and towels mid week for a week long stay. The last thing I want to be doing is laundry when I am on vacation.

My wife, 19 year old daughter and I recently spent 5 nights in this unit. Based on the VRBO description, I had high expectations of the unit itself and the view -- and often that is a recipe for disappointment. Not this time!First, the unit itself is first rate. Everything is very nice. I have no complaints whatsover. Second, the view is incredible. The ocean...the coast...the golf course...the other houses...the mountains... Absolutely beautiful. Other than sleeping, we spent very little time in the unit and all our time on the lanai. Third, the Mauna Lani Point property is very nice. We did not use the pool or BBQ grills -- but they are really first rate. Finally, the broader Mauna Lani property is also beautiful. The beach club is a fantastic little beach with great snorkeling, a first class restaurant and great facilities. The grocery store was perfectly adequate for everything we needed. If you get a chance, go early to the black sand beach which also has great snorkeling. All in all -- a fantastic stay. The next time we are on the Big Island, I will search out this unit again.

"We stayed at Ocean Gem for 10 nights and all was great and exactly as promised, which is a good thing. Perhaps the best part was the host team. Right from our first on line interaction, through booking, planning, arriving and departing, they were responsive, helpful, cooperative and eager to help and to please. Well done all the way around."

This location is in lovely condition and very clean. The location is very nice especially if you are a golfer or enjoy morning walks along the coastal trail (called the fisherman trail). What I wish I had known is that it’s not set up as an ideal location for kids and families. Every other rental we have stayed in and more to offer - basic beach toys, boogie boards, REAL beach towels, etc. The unit is surrounded by mirrors and glass (including glass furniture) - I didn’t look all that closely but I feel like we had to constantly remind our children not to touch it and bump into it. My primary disappointment was that the unit doesn’t come with a grill - this is our favorite way to enjoy meals in Hawaii and we didn’t.want to schlep our things to the pool and eat in a common area. And speaking of the pool area, it’s nice enough and well maintained, but a bit small for school aged kids. By the end of the week our kids were bored by it and that hasn’t happened before. Again none of this is a complaint about the unit itself but more a callout that I wish I had paid more attention. The kitchen is the highlight - nice appliances and cooking tools.

Over the years we have stayed in various units at Mauna Lani and this one is the nicest. The furnishings, bedding and interior finishes are all high quality. Photos of the unit are accurate. Having use of beach chairs and snorkel equipment was a nice plus. View from the unit is beautiful. Property manager was very responsive and very nice to work with. Highly recommend this unit.

The condo is beautiful, well equipped, and very clean. The views are amazing! The pool area has a great kitchen, bbq’s, and is a short walk away from the unit. Very close to many beaches. Would 100% stay here again!There are no beach chairs provided which would have been nice but not a big deal.

We stayed at this Villa with our two adult children. The home was spacious with great amenities and a view that took our breath away. Every day we watched golfers tee off from the 15th hole of Mauna Lani South. We also had multiple days of whale watching offshore. It was a perfect spot for our trip.

We had a fabulous condo, in an excellent location with an excellent property management company, Hawaii Luxury Real Estate and Vacation Retreats. I am one of those people that believe you should never have to contact a property manager during your stay and ask for anything. Everything was perfect throughout our two week stay so they are clearly doing all the maintenance work as they should. Their cleaning staff is also very thorough. We loved the amazing golf course view and the quiet vibe of this complex. Thank you so much.

This condo is excellent. We’ve stayed all over the Kohala coast, and this is now our favorite. The resorts are fun; we’ve stayed at the Four Seasons, the Fairmont and the Westin. We’ve rented other condos and houses in great neighborhoods. But this is the best experience for the money we’ve found.
The location and views are superb. Much better than pictures can show. The kitchen is well stocked. I cooked fresh fish every night. There is a ton of beach gear to borrow. It is a quiet neighborhood. It is a treat to have covered parking.
I read the few negative reviews on this property, and can report they must have been submitted by folks lacking a bit of common sense. This place is amazing. We are super picky, and we will be back.

The Mauna Lani Point condo was fantastic for our latest trip the big island. Unit was very clean and well outfitted for our stay.
Beds were comfortable. Location is second to none. Appreciate the access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club.
Communications with Kona Coast Vacations was simple and easy and they provided great information on the area.

Property manager was out of town, back up had an emergency very difficult to get help. Book in condo had nothing on the unit. The TV required 3 different remotes to use it but no instructions, Took 2 days to figure it out, Coffee pot needs replacing. Shower had very little water pressure. Shower at pool much better.

The property lived up to the online 100%. House is in great shapes and checked all the boxes for our family vacation on the Big Island. If you've stayed in Mauna Lani before you know its great. The pool and beach club are so much fun. This house was well appointed with everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.again

Views were amazing! Sunsets every night over the ocean! Kitchen was really great and well stocked with everything you need. I would have given 5 stars but there were a few issues. The 2nd bathroom shower didn’t have any cold water so we were unable to shower in our bathroom because it was too hot. We ended up having to share the one bathroom with our friends. The management company did try to fix it but could not and so they gave us some $ back which was very nice. They said they are going to remodel the bathroom and honestly it really needs it. The only other issue was the outdoor lanai floor was super dirty when we arrived. Otherwise I would definitely stay here again after they re-do the bathroom. It is really a beautiful and peaceful place with a great management company. Also the beach is very nice with a beautiful bay and a nice restaurant. All in all it was a great place despite those few issues.

Overall the property and amenities were amazing. Waking up each morning with an unobstructed ocean view is the way to start the day. The unit was just as described and the owners/property management were easily reached. One thing to note is that it is about a 35 minute drive into Kona but worth it if your looking to retreat and decompress from the daily grind.
