Perfect cottage for 3 couples to use to explore the big island of Hawaii. Nice living space and very comfortable. Kitchen was well-appointed, as we cooked a daily breakfast.

The place we stayed in a gated community was immaculate!! We absolutely loved the home and all it had to offer!!! Our only complaint was that we had inquired several times via phone and email for three days to get the code to the gate of the property and was unable to receive a response. There were several times we had to wait for another car to come along before we could drive through the gate and get to the house. We were stressed aboutt the code because we had a guide coming to pick us up at 3:00a.m. Luckily, a few hours before he arrived we finally got the code.

This house was perfect four ouf family of 6 (two young adults, their parents and grandparents). It was clean, spacious, confortable, had everything we needed in the kitchen... a beautiful house. The neighbourhood is great : there is a lot of houses but we have the feeling of a very private space. The pools and gardens are beautiful (this unit is very close to the pools, which is great) ! Also, this area is a perfect spot to visit easily different parts of the island. Highly recommended !

This was a great location for our group of 6 adults. Each couple had their own suite. We enjoyed cooking on the grill and eating outdoors.
There were two beginning snorkeling beaches within walking distance, and the parking pass for the Mauna Lani beach was much appreciated.

This 3bd-3bath home is just perfect for our family and as a great home base to explore Big Island. Great community amenities, with large pools on landscaped compounds also great for jogging. Proximity to Foodlands also makes it convenient. We would love to stay here again!

This villa was beautifully decorated with lots of living space. The outdoor space in the back was very private and much bigger then I thought. We had a small wedding reception at the home with 25 family members and it had plenty of space. The kitchen is equipped for all your cooking needs. Plenty of chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and some water sport equipment to enjoy your stay. We will definitely be back!!!

This was a perfect rental for our family of 5. We have stayed in the Mauna Lani area previously and would definitely return again. Although it's 30+ minutes north of Kona we love the location and the weather and the access to beaches. It was worth a short drive to our other activities. It had everything we needed, even a crockpot for easy dinners. The kitchen is amazingly equipped and it's nice to do your own cooking to eat healthier and cheaper. They had 5 beach chairs and 3 sets of nice snorkel equipment in the garage. The beach umbrella was broken but you can buy one of those at Costco or rent from a snorkel shop. This is a 5 out of 5 property for certain. My only (very minor criticism) is that the bedroom carpet has aged. I think wood flooring throughout would be better for a vacation rental unit. We would return 100% and recommend to many friends.

Perfect accommodations for our family (four adults, one three-year-old.) Shig, the property manager, was very helpful and quickly took care of the few minor issues that did arise. Lovely pools on the KaMilo property, and the nearby Beach Club beach was the best one we found.

We loved the location and the house. Nice floor plan and nicely decorated home. The home was well stocked and clean.We truly enjoyed the Fairmont Orchid's view of the sunset and great food at Tommy Bahama's restaurant. Also had enlightening trips to the Seahorse Farm, Ocean Lava Boat, and Kealakekua Bay for snorkeling. Lastly, Hapuna Beach is a short drive down the road - truly one of the world's most beautiful beaches.❤️

So far the best vacation rental experience I've gotten to experience. Everything from the kitchen, bathrooms and bedroom were well prepped and equipped for us to move right in. The kitchen had all the utensils, baking, cooking and grilling accessories available. We didnt have to worry about getting much to make our stay feel like we didnt leave our own house. The only hiccup I saw was the large pool was green and dirty. Luckily there was another pool by the fitness room to swim in.Much mahalos to Shiwota and Team for making this an awesome place to stay during our racecation.

I had the pleasure of staying at this home with my 2 daughters. What a gorgeous setting! The house has absolutely everything you will need and more! Very comfortable beds and the patio is the perfect spot for coffee and sunrise or BBQ and sunset. The amenities were also wonderful. We worked out at the gym every morning and sat by the pool before heading to the beach. We also went hot tubing most evenings and enjoyed the stars. The location is close to stores and beautiful beaches.

I have dealt with Shiwota Resorts & Properties for three years (rentals for both business and pleasure) and they are fantastic. This home was perfect for our vacation and Mauna Lani is one of our favourite locations. Everything you need is at the house and as a stand alone villa it was very quiet. We will definitely be back! Thank you Shig and Maya!

we were very disappointed that we had a soaking bath tub in which the hot water was not HOT ENOUGH !! - we reported this a few times however it was never corrected !! - additionally, we requested to check our 1 hour after 11AM and it was not agreed upon - we rented this space for 13 DAYS - ludicrous that this was not agreeable - totally disrespectful !!
