Was a beautiful area. Access to beach was not easy, not really a pedestrian friendly area. This is a “drive to everything” stay. Ready to grill first night of arrival, no propane. Access to additional was not where it was said to be. Day before we left we found out it was in the garage along with beach items for us to use. That would have been nice to know!

Our host Wendi was so attentive. We appreciate her sharing her wonderful home. If you are looking for a relaxing place to unwind or a base camp for adventure we would recommend this property. Mauna Lani beach club is the best for families, especially the kids. We would stay here again without even a thought!

We stay at the Mauni Lani resort one and sometimes twice a year and have rented condos in all the neighborhoods. This was by far the best and cleanest furnished condo we have rented. the appliances were all in like new condition. The management company did an excellent job of keeping us informed prior to arrival and departure.

Short of repeating amenities, I'll confirm they are as stated by the description and the excellent reviews. This property accommodated all the wishes we had for our visit to Hawaiii (we didn't realize the pool was right outside our door). It's close to a number of good restaurants (Halani in particular) and to a good grocery store. The owner was very quick to respond to the few questions we had and we would definitely rent again in the future. Thanks, Laura.

To start, Jon was very communicative making the entire booking process easy and it was clear that if we needed anything, he or a representative would be there to assist. The townhome has one of our favorite layouts with upstairs and downstairs lanais which had a variety of seating options to enjoy the warm weather. This thoughtful appointment applied to the rest of the place - we had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook, toys for the beach, and welcoming surprises to help kickoff our vacation. I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you!

House is in great condition. Extra points for having some spices on the shelf!! Issues arose and were swiftly taken care of - just a flat tire on a bike. Snorkel gear and beach gear utilized. Moray eel spotted off the Mauna Lani beach! Highly recommend this house.

They had everything we needed. We were very happy to stay here and will stay again!

We celebrated a 60th birthday while there. The property was well stocked, spacious and perfectly located near the beach & shopping. We loved the beach club for swimming & snorkeling. The club staff were excellent and the bar staff attentive & fun. We would recommend this unit and location to friends.

Property location was amazing for our family. Spacious, clean, and satisfying every adventure on our list. We walked every morning on an incredible loop to the petroglyphs and then along the beach back to the house. Every evening we walked to the Fairmont to watch the sunset. The beach club is always a relaxing day! The house was well stocked with towels and beach gear. The pool area was clean and the perfect spot for an evening dip. We really enjoyed stay and will be back again.

The property was gorgeous and perfect for our vacation. We enjoyed sitting on the patio in the morning. The pool in the complex was larger than expected and rarely busy. We went to the beach club often and enjoyed the calmer water and snorkeling. We would definitely return to this property.

The condo in The Fairways of Mauna Lani is a beautiful and quiet location. The condo itself is nice and was clean, for the most part. The host has a well-stocked kitchen and recreation closet. The large cooler was helpful when the refrigerator began to fail! There was a lot of anxiety when we discovered the fridge was not working correctly as we had food for meals. The owner was readily available via the VRBO messaging. The next day he had a repairman that came out and told us it was "toast". The owner was finally able to purchase a new fridge and had it delivered the following day. We were without a working fridge for almost 2 full days. Obviously a fridge that dies is something that just happens so no blame on the owner and he did manage to get one in and save the rest of our vacation. We did have a workman show up the first night we arrived to work on the blinds covering the two sliding doors. He semi got them fixed, we just didn't raise the one in the bedroom again and kept the one in the living room open as we used that door frequently. The condo shows some wear and tear and the blinds are definitely one of those items that should be replaced. Might be time for a new coat of paint as some walls were smudgy. Many furniture items showed a lot of wear and tear too. All in all my family was happy with the place, and it was great to have a pack n play & high chair. The pool is beautiful and the private beach is the best.

The renovation on this unit is outstanding. The kitchen tools available were the best of any vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at. This stay was just two of us, but a family of 4 or 6 would be perfectly comfortable here. Kids can be upstairs and parents can have the whole lower level. Neighborhood is very quiet. Location is good - few minutes drive to the market and a few more minutes to the beach club. Oh - and the beach equipment available was fantastic.

My family of 6 plus my mother had a great stay here. The condo is right across the street from the pool and the beaches on property were some of our favorites. The beach club has awesome snorkeling and gentle water for the kids. We appreciated all the beach gear in the garage- cooler, chairs, floats, snorkel gear and a wagon to drag it all. The unit also has shampoo, conditioner and soap. Nicole was quick to respond during our stay.

Fairways condo's at Mauna Lani are on the the best places you can stay on the Big Island. Gail's place is very nice. She allowed us to check in a little early upon our arrival which was great except the place wasn't fully cleaned when we arrived so we did end of doing quite a bit of cleaning on our own though it didn't impact our overall experience. Unit is spacious and well equiped with everything you need.

Well-appointed property - it probably had the best equipped kitchen of any VRBO we've stayed in. And the location is excellent. We very much enjoyed the nearby beach club. We look forward to coming back!

We had an amazing stay! The accommodations were exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Very well stocked for cooking in and for recreational activities. The outdoor grill and lanai was nice and private. The property is secure and beatiful and the extra amenities were a plus! It was a perfect place to relax and enjoy our time. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and the overall welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

We had an incredible experience staying at this condo on the Big Island. The unit was exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed, from beach gear to kitchen essentials. The location was ideal—tucked away in a quiet area, offering a lot of privacy, but still close to great restaurants, golf, and beautiful beaches. We loved the pool and hot tub area, and access to the private beach was a huge plus! The owners have truly gone above and beyond to make sure guests are comfortable and have everything they need, even things we hadn’t thought to bring. Communication was seamless, and check-in was smooth. This place felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to return!

My twin 13 year old daughters and I spent three nights in this fantastic property. Owner is awesome with communication. Place is stocked with supplies for cooking, cleaning and going to the beach. Felt like I was staying in a friend's beach home rather than a rental. Two Cal-King beds that are very comfortable. Great location. Beach club is a short drive away and super for snorkeling. Also very close to 49 Black Sand Beach-definitely worth checking out too. Very obvious the owner cares about her clients and wants them to have the best experience possible. Easy to give this property five stars. Would love to have the privilege of staying here again.

This was my first time staying on the big island of Hawaii and I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this property. It is quite spacious (I was only there with my husband) but could easily house two couples comfortably and quiet. The area was very upscale and there were a few shopping malls nearby. The beach club down the road was excellent with plenty of availability of cabanas when we got there ~9 am daily. The only thing that threw me off was the gym - if, like me, you're one of those weird people that likes to hit the gym on vacation I might advise against this here since I learned that the gym on property has a sign-up system for each hour of the day and only one person is allowed to use it at a time (and one guy had signed up for the same time slot every day that would've been the time I used it).

We have never stayed in a rental with such a well-stocked kitchen! It’s a great condo and the owners are also thoughtful about bikes, chairs, an umbrella, wagon and other beach gear. Do be prepared to drive to the beach and the beach club, which is a very nice option as long as you arrive early or hit it right at lunch time when others leave chairs to have lunch. The location is between

We had a fantastic stay at this home. It is so roomy and beautiful. It is beyond well stocked. The beach closet is amazing with beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, snorkels…in short everything and more you need. The complex is wonderful; quiet and well maintained with a great pool and hot tub. The host’s communication was timely, clear and comprehensive. We loved this home and highly recommend it.

My daughter and I stayed here recently and we loved the property. It was easy to find, check in was a breeze. We really appreciated how welcomed we felt and our host has thought of everything to make this a home away from home. Many thoughtful details and lovely touches. We enjoyed the pool area and the fitness center (sign up ahead of time) and loved the private beach club. Our host also generously allowed us to have a late check out so that we were able to spend one last morning at the beach. An amazing place to stay-we will be back!
