This is our second visit to Mauna Lani Fairways and first time in Jan’s condo and it was a truly exceptional property. There is true pride in ownership that is reflected in the quality of furniture, decor, linens, kitchen ware & beach gear. The owners thought of absolutely everything and were generous with amenities and starters such as coffee pods, Mac nuts and condiments. The private beach club is perfect with cabanas and chaise and great snorkeling. We personally love Hapuna and the Shave Ice truck and shops in Kawaihae. We will most certainly be back. Thank you so much for a wonderful spring break!

This was our 4th time staying in this community and we absolutely love it. The condo was perfect! It's the larger 2-bedroom so you never feel crowded, and there's plenty of storage to hide your suitcases, etc. Everything was very clean. The kitchen was well-stocked. The best part was the beach toys are well-stocked too! We were able to use the snorkel equipment at the local beach and had amazing views of the sea life without driving far or taking a group tour. The boogie boards were handy for Hapuna beach just a few miles north. The pool and hot tub are awesome when you don't feel like getting sandy, and the pool is a great size. Everything in the area is well-maintained. Can't wait to return!!

We returned to this townhouse after being away for a few days on the other side of the island and it was like coming home! Thanks again for a truly wonderful stay.

Coming back to the Big Island after getting married here at the old Kona Village (RIP) fifteen years ago. Communication and check-in process seamless. Property managers very pleasant and seemed to care. Condo was every bit as advertised and was perfect for us. As ex-VRBO owners, we were amazed how stocked the kitchen was with pots, pans, dinnerware, glasses, etc. We know how hard this is to keep these items in stock and also keep them nice. Everything first class. Bikes were a great touch, and we used them almost every day. Owners beach was super-crowded when we were there, but we were there during spring break, so there you go. We had a fantastic second honeymoon, restful, quiet, convenient to all. Loved it.

We’ve stayed in this complex before and knew we loved it! This unit was an awesome location, quick access to the pool and a fantastic view from the lanai. Love these townhouses for our rambunctious family-rooms are all separate and quiet, plenty of space for everyone. Just the perfect jumping off spot for all of our favorites on the Big Island. Mahalo Jay for another fantastic stay!

This was the second time my wife and I stayed at this complex. This time we also bought along our Grandson and his Mother. We very pleased with the overall condition of the unit. The pictures don't do it justice. Everything we needed during our stay was there. Plenty of dishes and cookware. We grilled during our stay. The Grandson used the gear in the garage. He wanted to swim every night after returning from each days adventure. There's a small work out facility. It has adequate equipment to work out. There's a clip board to schedule a time slot. The room can get quite warm running on the treadmill. The loop around the complex is about 1/2 mile. It's pretty safe to run the streets. Watch out for goats and turkeys. Parking passes are on a clipboard outside the manager's office. Overall we had a great trip. We definitely would book again.

This is an amazing property, highest standards when it comes to cleanliness. Accommodation is well stocked and contained everything we needed.

Great location, easy walk to the Fairmont and shops, very lean unit and the VIP access to the private beach is a great perk. We'll be back!

I felt like I was being in a luxury resort. The accommodations were spacious, well cared for and clean and well equipped. I enjoyed the pool but would have liked to have access to the fitness center.

This is a well-planned and cared-for unit 20 minutes north of the Kona airport.The weather is consistently better there than any place we visited on the island - a pocket paradise. It is near world-famous beaches, has private beach access and boasts a quiet location in its resort. The home itself is well laid out so a couple can spend their visit on the main floor, with additional bedrooms and bath on the second storey. The kitchen is exceptionally well provisioned, the living area comfortable and the shaded lanai a favorite place for morning coffee. We appreciated the spacious ensuite and particularly enjoyed the thoughtfully put-together walk-in closet. Originally we were concerned about parking outside the unit, but found many owners use their garages for golf carts and park in the nearby provided spaces quite happily - we did as well. Maybe the best feature of all was the support and communication with our hosts, primarily Jamie and Tannis. In all the years we have relied on VRBO rentals, they have simply been the best. Thoughtful, informative, considerate, generous, responsive - they are models for the industry. So to them, a heartfelt thank you for welcoming us as well as they did in their wonderful home!

This home exceeded our expectations! We stayed with our sons (ages 14 and 17). The first thing that struck us was how clean and kept up the home was! Second was all the extra amenities - washer and dryer, ice machine, cooler, many beach chairs/boogie boards, detergent pods, shampoo, beach towels, extra blankets and 4 beach cruisers. There was even a spare inner tube and tools to fix a tire on one of the bikes and an air pump. The whole upper floor is the master suite which was massive! The other room was small with 2 twin beds but adequate. The open floor plan on the main level was great for family time. We used the grill one night and it worked well. We didn’t spend much time at the pool as we had so many other things to do but it looked very nice and had a key to enter that area. Location of the home was perfect to make it everywhere on the island as we did daily excursions (volcano, hikes, beaches, etc). Our only issue was the parking situation as we sometimes had to walk a couple blocks as there were not open spots in front of our home. The maintenance guy was very responsive when we had an issue with the dishwasher and got it fixed right away. There is a grocery store minutes away to get the necessities. Would definitely return!

Everything about this condo is fantastic! It has everything you need for a great stay on the island. It was the perfect space for our 5 adult (3 generations) family. Communication with owners was great with great tips for enjoying our stay. Thanks so much and I hope to stay again sometime!

Couldn’t ask for a better stocked condo than this one. Had everything your heart desired for the beach. We cook most dinners in and very well equipped kitchen. Very secure area and very pretty surroundings. Private beach was perfect. Very clean when we arrived and would go back in a heartbeat.

This is our 2nd time staying at this property in the last 3 years. Everything was great. The communication with Tannis and Jamie was easy and they were so quick at responding. The house was clean and well stocked. Loved the welcome basket that they include. Its such a nice touch. The house comes with lots of beach chairs, snorkelling equipment ( which we could also tell was new) , boogie boards , picnic coolers etc. Everything you need to go to the private Mauna Lani Beach club. This house is a 10+.

Fairways at Mauna Lani is a hard place to leave. The sunsets and tropical setting keeps bringing us back. This unit has had a number of nice updates in the last year. The owner and property manager are both very responsive and pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend.

February 2024

you could settle down in this condo for your entire stay and do nothing but enjoy yourself. Pool 100 yds away, dining/shopping options nearby, golf if that is your thing. The lanai off the master BR will suck up some time too. Kitchen was lavishly appointed and stocked. For you workaholics, there is an office nook upstairs for you to manage your kingdom from w/o ruining everyone else's fun! Nowhere in HI is inexpensive anymore (25% tax/fees added on) but comparable packages aren't any less.

Returning guest to this unit. As always, very clean with ample supply of household goods, great and convenient location to pool, wonderful kitchen goods for cooking and grill is excellent. Nice selection of beach chairs and sunshades for visits to less developed beaches as well. Mark is a terrific host and makes sure guests have all questions answered and needs met. Very responsive to questions. Enjoyed walks to beach, the Shops and great dining! Thank you for another memorable and wonderful stay!

The fairways…at mauna lani This home was perfect for our needs. The four of us were comfortable with the size of the place which allowed us own space. The kitchen had all the amenities that made preparing meals easy. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The house was situated a stones throw from the main entrance, swimming pool and hot tub. The fairways was easy walking distance from foodland, tommy bahamas and the fairmont resort and beach…perfect.

Excellent property. We have stayed at a number of condos in the Fairways and this was the best. Very clean and well stocked. Laura responded quickly to our questions. Great location by the pool … would be very convenient for family traveling with children. If you are there on a Saturday closest to a full moon, the Mauna Lani Twilight … a wonderful evening of talk story ad music.

Fairways number 804 condo was a perfect condo for my husband and myself. The lanai furnishings were inviting, the living room and dining room furnishings were comfortable. The upstairs bedroom with the additional master seating area were comfortable and well appointed. The master bed had an upscale mattress which provided support and comfort. The hostess responded within minutes of our texts for whatever we might need with additional information, instructions, and support. It was reassuring to know the hostess was hands on and readily available. This to us was key!

Eight years in Mauna Lani Resort condos, and this one is the best yet! Our first time in a Fairways condo, and we were not disappointed…largest/nicest pool we’ve been in, gorgeous landscaping and a great sense of community. The condo was spotlessly clean upon arrival, with a well-equipped kitchen and a complete variety of beach toys available in the garage. We loved the layout, huge TV, decorations, and privacy of the unit, with easy/ample parking. Beautiful master bath and great linens/bedding. We could not recommend this condo more! As an aside, we found a broken beach umbrella in the garage, call the management company (Paradise) in the late evening, and were pleasantly surprised to get someone on the phone and find two new beach umbrellas delivered by the next morning…that’s great service! Thanks for a wonderful experience…we’ll be back! Mike and Judy (Bend, OR)

It was great staying in a condo that supplied basic necessities in the kitchen. We also had access to beach chairs and bikes. And of course the best perk was an access card to the Beach Club. My friends and I call it Mai Tai beach and it’s our happy place!
