This is a terrific layout for two couples, with two very nice suites. Lap pool renovation not finished, but by time I write this review, all should be done.Property Manager Wendee was very helpful!

The condo has great amenities. A very peaceful and relaxing location. Easy to walk to the beach/Fairmount and Mauna Lani shops. We thoroughly enjoy our stay.

Very nice home in a quiet, gated community very close to the Mani Lani resort. The space is large with everything you need for a great vacation.

Our family of 3 has been staying at various Kulalani homes for the last decade. We have stayed in homes of all sizes and locations. We enjoy the fact that this until faces the golf course side which has more privacy and quiet. The double suite layout is great for us. The master upstairs has a balcony and the downstairs suite is perfect for our teen. It would also be great for 2 couples or 2 families because of that. There is plenty of beach gear and the kitchen is well stocked. This unit has room for you to park in the garage. A bonus as parking is limited. We have stayed in this unit a couple of times now and plan to book it again. We love Kulalani because of the proximity to our favorite beaches and for its community pool area. Thank you for another great stay!

This lovely condo was the best one we’ve stayed in yet! We’ve made 20+ trips to the Kohala Coast and so far we like Kulalani best. The condo was clean, nice comfy furniture, a well equipped kitchen, and had everything we needed for a month-long stay of beach going. We’d love to come back!

We LOVED our stay! The house is huge with two king bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, which is ideal for a family/two families with plenty of space.
Great kitchen stocked with EVERYTHING you'd need for cooking, packing meals to-go for the beach, etc.
We also loved the house provided all sorts of beach toys, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc so we didn't have to buy or anything to rent to use at the beach.
Easy access to the community pool nearby too.
10/10 stay here!

The condo was very comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed using the pools, exercise room and hot tubs and the Beach club was a great place to swim and snorkle. The beach is a short walk away and a great place to view whales and sea turtles.

My wife and I stayed with my older parents for 8 nights. We found the home comfortable, spacious, and true to the pictures and description. Being 2 couples, it was great to have 2 master suites - additionally, the upstairs bed and bath are not directly above the downstairs, so each is quiet and private. Only downside for the upstairs is it can get warm in the later afternoon. There is a limit on the AC temp at 72-degrees. The room cooled down in the evening after sun went down. We spent quite a bit of time away from the home, sightseeing and exploring the island, but when we were home, we enjoyed the beautiful grounds of Mauna Lani, the conveniently-located grocery store, the lovely pool area, and the home, itself. We spent mornings watching the birds and mongooses from the back patio, and evenings cooking on the grill and relaxing on the spacious and comfy sofa. We rented a resort golf cart so that both couples had a vehicle, and we all really enjoyed buzzing around in it - over to Mauka for beautiful views and good breakfast, the shops, the Fairmont, and the beaches. It was also lovely to be able to park both the cart and our rented Tahoe in the 2-car garage (although parking the SUV was tight, it was still doable). Additionally, we appreciated Wendee’s help when we found ourselves in need of wheelchair and scooter rental, as well as some extra pillows and blankets. We would recommend the home, the resort, and the Big Island! We can’t wait to return! Mahalo!

My two teen/tween daughters and I enjoyed a wonderful weeks stay at this property. The beauty of the neighborhood and amenities is fantastic. The home is warm and inviting. Beds are super comfortable, the unit is stocked with beach gear which is great. My only (slightly) negative is I wish they had bikes as many other units do and possibly more comfortable lounge chairs on the lanai. Overall a great experience!

We had a great time staying at this condo. Everything was as represented. It was clean and roomy. The snorkeling at Makaiwa Bay (beach that is easily accessible with access card) was great (snorkel out and around the left side of the bay).

The rental unit worked really well for our stay in kona with our teenage son and his friend. The condo was very clean and in a great location. The kitchen was well stocked and the garage had boogie boards, snorkel gear, and beach chairs. They also had some coolers available. Communication with Wendee was clear and prompt. We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay in Kulalani. My only complaint was that the carper in the downstairs bedroom seemed like it needed to be cleaned but that would not stop me from renting this unit again. The kitchen was well equipped and has everything you need for your stay.

We have rented multiple condo/homes in the Waikola Beach area over the years. This was the nicest. Property development has beautiful pool complex and access to the Mauna Lani's beach club which has the best beach. Look forward to renting again on our next trip to the Big Island.

Beautifully landscaped property, lovely, tastefully decorated and furnished, spacious home…pretty much everything needed in a home away from home. It was especially nice to find grocery dry goods that would have cost a small fortune to buy at Foodland Farms. Special kudos to Wendee, who even on a weekend responded immediately to a problem I’d created for myself.
If I were to offer any advice to future guests, it would be to not rent anything larger than a standard sedan, which itself is a bit of a squeeze through the narrow garage doors. (What was the architect thinking?) I’d also suggest that, if you anticipate that not everyone in you party will be going the same direction all the time, consider renting bicycles or a golf cart. It’s an easy walk to Foodland Farms and The Shops, but the “Beach Club” is a hike.

We have stayed at Kulalani many times. This townhouse is on the golf course side which always offers a bit more privacy and quiet. The 2 master suites were great for us and our teen. Lots of space to spread out. The couch is cozy for exhausted evenings after days of fun. All the basics were covered here and the location can’t be beat. All communication was clear and smooth. The house has beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers & boogie boards which makes the outings easier. Outside dining and lounging felt fairly private. Thanks! We always come back to the Kulalani sub division.

The townhouse is very spacious and in amazing part of the resort. It faces golf course, so no noise of any kind, save for the morning birds. Both ensuites are huge and there is plenty of space in common areas for even bigger family. Small shampoo/wash packs (reminiscent of hotels) were appreciated, especially for late arrivals like ours. Beds are comfortable and linens are good quality. Towels galore, including beach towels. The kitchen is full of dishes and cups, plenty of pots and other kitchen tchotchkes. Salt/oil was present in the kitchen, as was plenty of paper towels, tea towels and dishwasher+regular detergent. Coffee machines/blender/toaster - all fine and working. Fridge was clean, but some spices/condiments are intentionally left. The only weak part is very dusty BBQ and patio area, it seems nobody used it in ages. Not overly bad - we used waterhose on the patio to clean up dinnete and patio, nothing overly dirty. Few pots could have been washed better, and one armchair shows a bit of wear, but everything else was spotless and clean. The garage was also well equipped with beach gear, if exploring other beaches is your goal - you are covered. Laundry room has new front-load washer and dryer and there is plenty of detergent.
The whole neighborhood section is very lush and very clean. There is a construction area at the end of the row, but there was no noise nor traffic due to it. The only annoying point is the gate - it was wide open all the time we were there, when all other "neighborhoods" had theirs closed off. Granted, the gate for Kulalani is kind of hidden (and unmarked, bit of trouble to find from main road), but still. The whole property is close to small plaza with grocery store, but we still drove to it, as walking on the main resort road is not pleasant. (side note: this property does not have bikes included)
Resort beach is excellent, plenty of loungers - but you have to get there early (or monitor throughout the day) for cabanas. Restaurant on the beach is good for lunch and occasional drinks. The Kulalani/Kamilo pool area is clean, but pool itself was cold and a bit murky. Be aware that shade around the pool is limited to halle and two palapas. The lap pool was pristine and completely empty when we were visiting.
The communication with Wendee was excellent - responses were immediate and on the point. One issue with faulty lamp was resolved next morning (whole set of bedside lamps replaced, keeping them matching).

My husband and two young children enjoyed a wonderful stay. The home is beautiful an immaculately kept. It was equipped with beach chairs and umbrellas and allowed us access to the Beach Club parking lot. Thank you for all of your help, Wendee, as we got settled! We would definitely stay at your home again. Mahalo!

Had a wonderful stay at the condo in Kulalani. Arrived to a spotless home with a wonderful welcome basket. Wendee was responsive to any questions we had and prompt with delivery of propane when we ran out. Great set up for families or two couples with lots of space. Would recommend this property to any one that is looking for a clean, comfortable stay in Mauna Lani.

We had decided to extend our vacation by a few days and lucked out when we found this accommodation. What an absolutely gorgeous home. We’ll be looking at this in the future for sure. Wendee, the property manager, was an absolute delight and came by with her young daughter to welcome us.

We love staying at the Mauna Lani. This we our first time here and it was in a great quiet location. Came with my family for almost 3 weeks and it was nice and quiet and in a great location. It was a nice short walk to the Fairmont and to the shops. Wendee was great and easy to communicate with. The place included several beach items such as chairs, towels, snorkel gear and an umbrella. We did leave a few beach things behind for other guest to use.

Lovely, clean and comfortable home for a vacation with our two young kids ages 1 and 5! Wendee had great communications regarding arrival and we appreciated the emails before and upon arrival to make sure we got in ok! We were welcomed with a delicious and generous basket of fruit, and we (especially the kids) ate every single item! Nice touch to start off the trip.
Very spacious and well-equipped with beach gear including umbrella, chairs, coolers and towels which we appreciated. Loved having breakfast out on the deck and the kids enjoyed running in the backyard. Great proximity to Hapuna Beach and amazing restaurants nearby.
The resort community's center of smoothies, coffee shop, groceries and shopping were fantastic too. We grabbed smoothies, coffee, breakfast and lunch there a few times and they were all delicious!
It's not beach front, but we came here knowing that as our plans included site seeing around the island, volcano hiking, tasting the local eats, and beach hopping. Way more relaxing, spacious and value here than if we paid a similar amount for a single studio hotel room on the beach or a smaller 2BD apartment in downtown Kona where the beach isn't swimmable anyways and you're on the noisy street path that the trolley/buses go through.
Great stay, thanks so much! Can't wait to return.

Manager Wendee was great for check in and minor problem with garage door opener. Yes indoor parking. We have stay in 4 different condos in this development and this was the best. Mahalo. Greg
