We had an amazing stay. We had other family with us who stayed in the same complex and this unit was by far the best unit out of all of them. Well equiped, comfortable and great lay out. Hope to come back soon!

We always enjoy our stays on the Big Island and especially like this location. We appreciate the three bedrooms and baths. The units are well supplied with kitchen items.
There are a few things that gave me concern:
1. I chose the unit because I recognized the furniture and thoroughly wanted that same one,N5. Instead we were assigned C5.
2. The televisions would only play local stations although there was some streaming available. When the property manager was informed on the day after we arrived, Tuesday, she made excuses until she fixed the problem on Saturday.
3. The unit was not very clean and the property manager was informed of this but made no apologies or explanation.
4. Although we were told to clean out the refrigerator, wash sheets and only leave two loads of wash, the refrigerator held many of the previous tenants’ groceries.

The property was clean and had a great Hawaiian vibe. It's just a short walk to the pool and the trash center was very close by which was convenient. The A/C unit was powerful and cooled the house down almost immediately. The lanai was wonderful and relaxing with foliage providing privacy and shade. The host was responsive and helpful with the only phone call we needed to make. The garage contained a great variety of beach toys and sporting gear. One huge bonus was the dedicated two parking spots...fantastic. A pack n play was also available for our baby.
Only slight negatives were the short supply of paper towels and toilet paper for a 11 day stay. Other than that, the house was great. We would certainly stay there again.

Loved our place here. They were so accommodating for us. The place was super clean and quiet. It is on the end of the units so basically no neighbors. Possible the best location. Would stay again here.

We stayed for two weeks. The beds were very comfortable and the ice maker was able to keep up with the six of us. We’ve stayed in the complex before and love it. The gym and pool area are great and access to the private beach is even better.

The fabulous home (C-5) was immaculate and just as described in its photos. As it is a corner unit, we had wonderful views and a cool breeze. We could see both Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa at the same time. Beach access was a big plus for us. We will definitely return to this unit.
The property manager, Amy, was very helpful and sent arrival instructions and follow-ups quickly. We were very impressed by her pleasant manner and determination to make our stay a perfect one.

Our second trip to this complex. Thus unit had 270* views of the island. Could see the observatories on Mauna Kea one clear morning.
Great location, wonderful views and access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club provides fantastic snorkling.
We grilled fresh fish and steaks nightly and enjoyed Kona Coffee each morning. Looking forward to our next visit!
Amy was great!

It was great place, nice view of the mountains from the rooms. Lanai is spacious, we enjoyed eating outside . The 2 parking spots were helpful. Foosball gives an added fun activity. Beachgear very adequate. Fitness centers and the pool close by. Amy, the manager , has been exceptionally helpful, replies to questions very promptly. I really do not hesitate to select this property again when back to Kona

We enjoyed our stay. The condo is comfortable and spacious with a lovely view of the golf course and mountains from the lanai. The beds were comfortable. It was nice having the grill and dining set on the lanai for dinners. The kitchen had adequate dinnerware. There was a good variety of spices and condiments. The kitchen had both a keurig and drip coffee maker with a starter set of keurig kcups. There is a grocery store nearby. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The pool is an easy walk and looked nice, but we didn’t use as we prefer a beach. There was beach equipment in the garage which we did use - these are used and some items were in better condition than others. The beach chairs worked fine, but the strap to hold them together is broken so need to tie with towel or string to wear as backpack when bringing out to beach or carry it from side. There were 4 or 5 chairs, umbrellas, some boogie boards, snorkel gear, 2 bikes…

The house is much better than the photos would suggest. And management communicates well and responds quickly.

The villa was wonderful and perfect for the three of us! The location is ideal. It is an end unit so lots of privacy with fantastic views of the golf course and mountains. Very spacious bedrooms and baths. Big kitchen amply stocked. Living room and dining areas are large to allow everyone to spread out comfortably. The outdoor lanai is huge with dining and lounging area. Beds were super comfortable and lots of extra linens and pillows.. Big supply of bath and beach towels. Two bicycles, boogie boards and snorkeling equipment available for use. Accessed the private beach and pool which was very convenient.
Amy was responsive to questions and made check in very easy.
Overall, the villa exceeded our expectations!

The property is a very nice property with an excellent location. But there are problems. First, the quality of the beds is below average. They all have the slump in the middle so when you lie in the bed, your head and feet are above your behind. The master suite bed, in particular, is uncomfortable due to this "taco" effect. Second, there are six beach chairs, as advertised, in the garage. One of the chairs is broken. Two of the others are the base model with no cup holders and no ability to recline. We wound up renting beach chairs for our week, as the beach chairs in the condo were not usable. Third, the check out procedure will take up more time than you are probably expecting. The property rules require all dishes to be washed and not left in the dishwasher. This rule means you need to start washing all of the dishes early to make the required checkout time. Similarly, all beds must be stripped, but only two loads of wash can be left undone. Thus, you have to start washing bed linen and towels early, again to make the checkout time of 10:30. So plan on getting up early on check out day to meet the house rules. The property is an excellent one, and with a bit of minor upgrades and revisions, it would have been five stars in our rating.

Our family of four could not have asked for a more perfect accommodation. The condo was just lovely - clean, spacious, beautifully appointed with everything we needed. The grounds were equally as stunning and we were fascinated by the old lava flow areas interspersed with brightly colored hibiscus flowers. The three bedrooms with separate baths were a plus as we were traveling with adult children. Having said that, we certainly could have fit more people and would not have been overcrowded. Everything was close by, from grocery stores to the beaches. Thank you so much for a truly wonderful stay. We would love to return some day!

Great location. Good beach toys for adults and children.
Property is worn. Anything above 5 feet is a dusty mess. Furniture is stained. Towels are old and stained. Linens are old and worn. Poorly outfitted for cooking. Two worn out grocery store nonstick fry pans. One with a dangerously loose handle. Dull knives. No spatulas. No pot holders.
Property manager arranged window tinting while we were there. I'm on vacation so rarely check email. As a result I did not know they were coming. I sent company away. I'm paying for the property so unless I request, repairs can be done on somebody else's dime and time.
Had a great time but would look elsewhere and not rent this unit again.

We stayed in Mauna Lani three times, once in the same complex. Ideal location and our experience with the prior rental was great.
This rental has exact same layout and seemed nice.. However, upon arrival we found that mattresses, all of them, were extremely uncomfortable - not just too soft or too hard - we were falling in in the middle and rolling down at the edges...,the pillows are impossible to sleep on and linens are substandard. One bed was missing a headboard. Half of bedroom lights didn't work. When we moved in, two bedrooms had old fashioned plastic blinds and no curtains at all. One set of blinds was totally visibly broken and my mother couldn't sleep first night. I asked Amy to address and she did promptly and per my request she also installed curtains in one bedroom. However, my daughter was sleeping in the bedroom with plastic blinds and no blackout curtains, extremely unusual in a vacation rental of this caliber. Additionally, all of the plumbing fixtures are old and tired and feel dingy, its time to replace shower heads and valve trims and handles.
Amy was interesting to communicate with - some messages were ignored for days before our arrival, some were answered. It is not often when the owner has ZERO flexibility on the move in and move out time in Hawaii but she had zero flexibility on both ends. She claimed maintenance and cleaning time was needed but the maintenance didn't address broken blinds or non working lights and the cleaning crew didn't clean microwave, coffee pot, refrigerator, counters or patio flooring. Overall, it wasn't a bad stay - its just a shame that it didn't even attempt to live up to our simple and not unrealistic expectations.

We have stayed at several condos in the Mauna, Lani, Golf villas and this is our favorite. It is a corner unit at the end of the entire complex so it is very private and looks right out on the third green of the golf course. The condo is well equipped, the beds are very comfortable and there were plenty of beach toys, snorkel gear and bicycles in the garage. We had a few minor problems but the resident manager took care of them very efficiently. Overall it was a great experience and we would rent this unit again

The location and grounds beautiful and well kept up.
Inside was worn and needs work done. Stains on carpet and furniture. Cleanliness was poor. For example thick dust on hanging lights in kitchen. Refrigerator front needed a good stainless steel scrubbing . Dishwasher, if used, can’t open needs to be pulled out and leveled properly. Mattresses need to be replaced along with pillows. The vacuum needs to be thrown out and replaced. No head board on bed in upstairs bedroom. Sink in upstairs bathroom no stopper. The utensils were sub par, the pits and pans need to be replaced, and glassware hodgepodge. The outside furniture cushions need to be replaced very uncomfortable. Outside by the grill lower left cabinet door hinge broken. This was not what I expected for the area and cost.
The place gets a C minus. Definitely the place needs some serious work done.

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this property. The location and quality of the condominium was outstanding. Everything from check-in to check out was smooth and easy. Condo was spacious and well appointed, there was literally nothing that we didn't have available or access to for daily living. Truly felt as if we were in own home. Highly recommended.

Nicely kept grounds and landscape, best unit in the complex for view of surrounding, iconic Big Island mountains and privacy, well-furnished. Property manager failed to give us the gate code...that was the only glitch.

Came here with a family of 6--4 adults and 2 teenagers. Size of condo was perfect--3 BR and 3 bath was very nice. Location was excellent for activities (beaches, golf, etc) but a little inconvenient for other things--grocery shopping. Only grocery store close by was in the resort and very expensive. Kona was a 40 minute drive. Check out process was too extensive. Why should we be responsible for doing all the laundry, washing all the dishes and making sure the dishwasher is empty, etc if we are paying a cleaning fee? We might as well have just paid ourselves. Overall a very good (just not great) place to stay. Would definitely consider it again.

We were two adults and 4 kids in their mid-20's. Everyone loved the condo. The corner location makes for great views and more privacy. Each part of our group had their own bedroom and bathroom, which made it super comfortable and convenient. The outdoor setting was great for work, which the kids still did, and outdoor dining or afternoon cocktails. The kitchen was great for big meals. The overall location is good, with reasonable driving access to beaches north and south. The pool, workout club and local beach are all walkable. The condo was well-supplied with towels and toys for all ages. We would definitely return to this particular condo.
April 2022
Great villa on a great property! Plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 teenagers to spread out. Loved the giant kitchen (although some additional kitchen utensils would be nice-spatulas, etc) The outdoor space was fabulous. Plenty of seating & an amazing outdoor cooking/dining space. We had our morning coffee and evening cocktails outside every day. Loved that we could enjoy the birds, sunshine, breezes & golfers from the back yard of the property. We greatly appreciated all of the amenities & close proximity to the grocery store & several lovely beaches. We would recommend this property to anyone. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We hope to come back for a visit soon!

Being a corner unit it was private & great view of sunrise over Mauna Kea from lanai. Had to call property manager for kleenex & cleaning supplies. For the price it should also have 2 ply TP, night lights in bthrms, pot holders in kitchen, & a vacuum cleaner that works. All that said I did enjoy my stay & manager was responsive to needs.

Wow! The location and views are the best in the Golf Villas. The condo is close to everything in Mauna Lani: the Black Sand Beach, the Beach Club, resort restaurants and a grocery store. Snorkeling gear, bikes and a quality foosball table are nice bonus features.

This was only my 2nd time on the big island and my first was many years ago, so I didn't quite know what to expect. The BnB was a little further out from Kona than we expected (just me being naive and not knowing). I wouldn't say the BnB was walkable to the beach (about a 20 minute walk) but the BnB had cruiser bikes so it was easier to get to. I would say the BeachClub beach close to the BnB was BEAUTIFUL!! It was one of the prettiest spots I went to. The BeachClub was great for snorkeling and they have a scenic walk to take to look at all the fish. Plus, this BnB was about 10 minutes drive from Hapuna beach and about 10 minutes from Waikaloa. During our stay, there was high winds which caused many problems with air pressure within the house, specifically in the upper bedroom so we had to make sure to keep all the doors closed inside the house. The front door alarm also went off frequently due to the high winds. Otherwise, this BnB was worth it just for the BeachClub alone! There is a nice quiet pool in the BnB neighborhood that has an attached hot tub, and it is HOT!

Great property on a quiet end unit. Well stocked garage with plenty pf equipment, chairs, and floaties to use. Kitchen has plenty of stuff to cook meals with and enough utensils and such for the amount of people staying there. The only complaint we had is the toilet paper, only 2 rolls for each bathroom and scratchy, single ply. Had a wonderful stay.

My family had a wonderful time on the big Island. We had a little snafu with finding the code for the gate to the property, but finally figured it out. The place could have been cleaned better, and I think the dishwasher could use a tune up. It would have been nice to have soap and tissues and a bath mat in all the bathrooms. We absolutely loved the bbq and the outdoor living space. All in all we enjoyed the property and would return!

The property was in a great location. It was quiet and it was nice having three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The only slight issue was getting the TV to work in the family room. We would recommend more detailed instructions on working the TV and DVD player but otherwise we would be happy to visit again.
