My husband, daughter, and I had the pleasure of staying at Villa 12 for eight days and absolutely loved it! The Big Island is such a special place and this property allowed us to experience it fully. The views of Mauna Kea at sunrise and the ocean at sunset were priceless. This property was especially great for us because we had the space and flexibility of a home while also having the amenities of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel within a short walking distance. The Villa had everything we needed and was very well taken care of. Also, Sarah the owner was so accommodating and helpful before and during our stay. We cannot wait to come back!!

Villa 12 is an exceptional Villa. The Villa is a stunning, and comfortable home. The Villa is very well appointed with everything you might need. The walk to the hotel and beach is 5-7 minutes, very pleasant and a lovely walk. The Villa is perfect for families as well as couples given the layout. The indoor and outdoor furniture are very welcoming and comfortable – perfect for gatherings and enjoying one another’s company. Regardless if you are having a working vacation or a true vacation, there are comfortable seating areas for everyone to achieve the holiday they are looking for. The location is ideal, extremely private and quiet, and the sunsets are right off the deck, and are a perfect way to end the day. We have been to this Villa many times and look forward to returning again.

The Villa exceeded our expectations! The view is the best, the location was perfect - 5 min. walk to beach. The house is fully loaded - kitchen has everything, bath towels, beach towels, hair dryers, washer, dryer, etc. We had the most amazing, relaxing stay. We always stay at the Four Seasons and we really enjoyed the space this Villa provided us. Definitely purchase the resort pass - my husband played golf twice, we parked at the hotel, enjoyed using the hotels beach chairs and towels. We’ve been going to the Big Island for 25 years and we’ll definitely return the this Villa. Thxs Sarah and Alexis for letting us add one extra day to our rental at the last minute and for the great communication during our stay.

Beautiful and spacious traditional home within a very easy walk of Mauna Kea resort. Truly the best of both worlds having a lovely house and access (extra fee per day) to both Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach resorts. Stunning beach with sandy bottom perfect for swimming and snorkeling right off the shore. Hosts were responsive and helpful. Nice sheets and comfy beds and pillows. Can’t beat that view!

We’ve stayed in several villas at MK and this was the best by far. Great views, nice pool and updated furnishings and decor. Hope we can return again one day!

We thoroughly enjoyed this property and had a very easy time communicating with the owner and her manager. Her local manager was responsive and very courteous. I would rent this property again without hesitation.

Nice home. Clean spacious. Responsive property mgr and owner. Would rebook. Pool table where dining room should be but dining room outside why not it’s Hawaii !! All good. . . .

- Perfect location for sunsets - 5-minute walk to Mauna Kea and everything it offers - Pool table was fun for family time - Only downside was how loud the master bedroom gets during windstorms. We used noise cancelling headphones at night and a couple nights it wasn't enough.

Really lovely property just behind Mauna Kea resort. Easy walk to and from. Rental managers were great. Good communication and very attentive. Wouldn’t hesitate to rent here again.

This was exactly what my husband and I needed for our honeymoon! Private, on a beautiful property, AMAZING sunset views, very clean and had all the necessities we needed. Most nearby restaurants were part of resorts so if you want to eat at more local places, it’s a minimum 45 minute drive. Otherwise I would HIGHLY recommend.

Very spacious, well appointed, and comfortable 2bd 2 1/2 bath condo with private pool and spa and a lovely view. Mauna Kea resort, a short walk from the condo, is quite beautiful and has one of the best beaches in Hawaii if not the world. Reasonably close (15 min drive) to Waimea for restaurants and in the sunniest part of the island. Having to pick up the (additional fee) parking/resort access pass at the residents service office at the adjoining hotel (Westin Hapuna) was a minor inconvenience but it gives you free run of both properties and you don't have to explain yourself to the guards at the front gate every time you return to the resort. The property manager, Alexis, was very helpful and proactive when Spectrum had a short Internet outage, forwarding the messages from Spectrum about the outage. Highest recommendation and would definitely stay again.
