Welcome to "A Sea-nic Escape", part of our Hawaiian Luxury Collection. "A Sea-nic Escape" at the Mauna Kea Resort Wai'ula'ula complex has majestic views of mountains and ocean. You will be mesmerized from the moment you wake looking at the ocean through the bedroom windows, then during your morning coffee overlooking the ocean on the covered lanai, to the glorious sunset that caps off an amazing day of activities.

The Big Island has so much to offer for families, adventure seekers or romantic couples and "A Sea-nic Escape" is just the place to use as a base whether you're exploring or simply relaxing and unwinding.

We pride ourselves on providing some of the most sought after homes on the Kohala Coast. We have partnered with the owners of "A Sea-nic Escape" to provide you with an exquisite home away from home.

The combination of one of Hawaii's best resorts on what we believe is the best beach in all of Hawaii together with this high-end luxury home makes the perfect setting for your Hawaii getaway.

Fast WiFi with great coverage included!

We know our Guests look forward to an exceptional experience from the moment you start planning your Big Island vacation. We've incorporated all our vacationing experiences from Hawaii and around the world, to ensure you have an exceptional stay!

We love friends & families!

Big Island is such a wonderful place to spend time with your friends, family, children and grandchildren. Vacations create such wonderful memories; we hope this trip will be one of your fondest family memories and that you'll return year after year.

"A Sea-nic Escape" is a large 3 bedroom home that sleeps eight (8) and is exquisitely furnished with 2 Master Suites each with their own luxurious bath, and 3rd bedroom with its own luxurious bathroom right outside the door. This home is perfect for families or three couples looking to share a home while having space, privacy and near equal size rooms and baths.

The first master has a King bed, access to lanai and amazing ocean views in the morning.
The second master has a King bed and has an ocean view that is equal to the first master. Both masters have a large ensuite bath with soaker tub, gorgeous high-end cabinets and frameless glass showers.
The third bedroom features two TwinXL beds that can be combined as King with gel topper plus a queen sleeper sofa.
This upholstered sleeper is from high end company called American Leather know for making the best and most comfortable sleeper sofas with gel mattresses.
​​​​​​​There is a bath just outside the door that is just as luxurious as the other two master baths.

The airy open concept main room includes kitchen, dining area, great room, and large covered lanai with grill. The large dining room table will comfortably accommodate eight people plus three at the expansive kitchen island. The large lanai doors disappear into the wall for complete blend of indoor and outdoor living.

The lanai features comfy chairs and couches for reading, dining area with room for another six, and an outdoor kitchen. The lanai has an overlooking view of the Wai'ula'ula community with the expansive ocean as a backdrop.

The living room features a large 75 inch Ultra HD 4K TV.

"A Sea-nic Escape" is at the end of a quiet court, yet only a short walk to the Wai'ula'ula gated community recreation center and pool. This recreation center boasts an infinity pool that is to die for, and a kids pool for those with little ones. Lay on loungers in the water, enjoy the hot tub spa or cuddle up with your kids on one of the big orbital day beds. The recreation center also has a fitness center with stunning views of the pools and expansive Hawaii scenery.

As a Guest in this home, you have the option of registering for the Mauna Kea Club Amenity program for $180 / day, per group (not per person) providing you with the opportunity to enjoy exclusive benefits at both the Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach Hotels. (Advance registration through Paradise In Hawaii and the Hotel required).

The benefits include charging privileges at both hotels, use of the hotel beaches and pools, towel usage, lounge chairs, umbrellas, reduced golf rates, tennis (court fees apply), use of two fitness centers, and guaranteed parking at each hotel.

Almost every guest takes this option as this is a prime reason guests want to stay in the luxurious Mauna Kea Resort. Mauna Kea Beach, possibly the nicest beach in all Hawaii, has limited public spots that fill before 8am most mornings so the ability to come and go to this beach and enjoy the amenities of two hotels makes this a must have for most guests.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, a new job, retirement, or simply celebrating the sunshine, our home and the Mauna Kea Resort are sure to create a great experience.

Beyond building an elegant, yet comfortable home, we know it's often the small surprises and conveniences that make all the difference.

Examples include:

• High-end luxury mattresses in all bedrooms for your comfort and enjoyment
• Luxurious high-end bedding for all beds
• Luxurious towels
• Spa shampoos, soaps and lotions
• A fully equipped kitchen for all your cooking, baking and BBQ needs
• High-end blender for making great smoothies and other tropical drinks
• Large selection of vinegars, oils and spices
• Starter pack of Kona coffee & collection of teas
• Popcorn

For your day at the Beach:

We love building really big sand castles! Kohala sand is exceptional for this and we have the tools for kids and adults alike. For your day at the beach, you'll find:

• Comfortable beach chairs, beach mats, umbrellas
• Sand toys and sandcastle making equipment
• Large collection of snorkel gear in multiple sizes so you can share the wonders of the ocean
• Boogie boards to enjoy playing in the waves
• Life jackets, swim belts for the younger ones
• Large wheeled cooler and Tupperware containers for your beach picnic

For those with children:

Having traveled with our kids when they were young we know how difficult it is to lug all the baby equipment. Our goal is to make your life easier so we have equipped our vacation home with:

• Pack 'n Play
• High chair
• Baby monitors
• Bed safety rails

A short drive away are six of the most spectacular beaches in Hawaii including Black Sand Beach, Private Beach 69, and of course two of the best beaches in Hawaii right on the resort; Hapuna beach and the breath-taking Mauna Kea beach.

The Kohala coast is a golfer's paradise with seven challenging courses all within seven miles of our villa.

Within a 10 minute drive are three high-end shopping complexes, Queens Shops at Waikoloa, Kings Shops and the Shops at Mauna Lani where you can find supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants, clothing and accessory stores, art, and free weekly entertainment in the evenings.

Everything thing was great. Only wish the BBQ had been cleaned and the wire brush was useless. Small complaint Thank you

It had filthy carpeting, I’m not sure when it was last cleaned, 20 years maybe. The furniture was also filthy, sticky and the arms of the couch were literally frayed off so the stuffing was revealed. The two E-bikes that were promised were now “under maintenance” and unavailable just as the review 2 months earlier had also reported.( why didn’t I listen) The lanai refrigerator was also “under maintenance” and unusable as well as the gas grill which was disgustingly dirty and the brush to clean it was completely shredded into bits. Unusable again. The dishes were in terrible condition. Overall, I’d give this unit and company a hard pass. The cleaning hill was over $450, yet we were instructed to wash all the beach and bath towels before leaving. When I complained about the E bikes being unavailable and in addition the terrible state of the carpet, couches, lanai grill and refrigerator, I heard crickets. Management was not available or amenable to fixing any of it except they did send someone to fix one sink that wouldn’t drain. Not worth the money, grossly dirty, no thanks!

This is the second year we have stayed in the beautiful property. It was so convenient, comfortable and relaxing. The view and the ocean breeze is everything we were looking for. Also enjoyed the resort access. Responsive hosts!

It was a perfect place to stay! There were 5 of us, 3 rooms and 3 baths, all separated from each other giving everyone their space. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The furniture, beds and outdoor chairs were very comfortable. The doors to the lani opened up fully extending the living room, We loved that. We didn't use the community pool area but toured it and it was very nice. The only disappointment was that the e-bikes were out of commission. We would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Jaw dropping beauty! This house is right on the ocean. We enjoyed eating on the patio and watching sunsets with cocktails. We sat in the spa every late afternoon and watched the whales go by. The house is spacious, plenty of room for 6 people. We cooked in a lot and enjoyed that. There was a lot of rain our week but we expected that so we were prepared. Any question or issue we had the property manager answered promptly. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

This property was everything we expected and more. I'm almost reluctant to give a review and let the cat out of the bag. I wouldn't hesitate to book this property again.

Great place. Well equipped with all beach toys too. Minor problem getting in at check in due to the electronic lock sticking. Called the rental agent and they told me how to pull on the door so it wouldn’t stick. Very minor issue but a bit of a hassle after a long day traveling. Place is absolutely wonderful otherwise.

The property and amenities were wonderful. Not only was the house big it was clean too. We are a family of 5 and the layout allowed us all to have our quiet places to escape to rest. The garage had boogie boards, snorkel gear and beach chairs and umbrella to boot. More than enough stuff to make your day at the beach perfect.
