We absolutely loved this rental. The location to the Beach club along with having our own heated pool made the stay exceptional. The property manager was available anytime we had a question.

Was an overall 5 star experience at this Villa....The pictures don't do it justice. The location is amazing and the ability to have a small yard was great for the kids. Beds were comfy and there was plenty of room for all of us. We will definitely look to stay here again! Thanks

We enjoyed the house - it was clean and everything was in good repair. Plenty of space for our group of 8. Beds were comfortable, and it was stocked with baby/small child equipment. The kitchen had everything we need to cook all our meals. The garage had plenty of beach equipment - chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, floats, snorkel stuff (we brought our own, so I can't speak to the quality or sizes), and 5 adult bikes and one child's bike and a small scooter -- and still room for two vehicles. The property manager was responsive and helpful. We've stayed at a number of houses in Ka Milo and this was one of the best; would return for sure.

This is our second year in a row visiting the Big Island and staying at KaMilo 224, and we loved every minute of our trip. The were little hiccups (out of both ours and SRP management's control), but Mike was so wonderful handling everything that we didn't miss a beat on our vacation. He was responsive, flexible, and extremely kind. My daughter lost her sticker that she bought at the farmer's market in Waimea, and we only realized this after we left and he was able to help let her back in to find it, which she did! So it truly was a trip of little things all made better because of Mike! We would recommend renting though Shiwota always!!

We had an amazing stay at this property with our family of five — two adults and three pre-teen boys. The home is truly a luxury retreat, located in a fantastic area just minutes drive from the beach. It’s also conveniently close to two markets (Farmland and Island Gourmet), which made stocking up on essentials a breeze.One of the highlights was the access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club, where we enjoyed a beautiful private beach. The property came fully equipped with everything we could want for outdoor fun: six boogie boards, four bicycles, and snorkeling gear. We also appreciated having a gas grill for easy family meals.Vacasa, our host, was incredibly responsive and proactive throughout our stay, making sure everything went smoothly and that we had everything we needed.Overall, the house was comfortable, well-stocked, and made our vacation even more special. We would absolutely love to stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

We had everything we could possibly need with the property. My 80yr old mother in law loved the hot tub while the rest of us played in the pool. Plenty of room and space and everyone had their own bathroom. Very close to restaurants and grocery store, beaches, snorkeling, everything! There was nothing left to need/want!

First of all, where the heck is this place? Your disorientation is wholly understandable since the location of the rental is variously listed as Kamuela, Mauna Lani, Puako, I think I even saw a Waimea or Kohala. It is indeed on the Kona side of the Big Island. To confirm: this property is in the Mauna Lani resort, about 1/2 hour north of the airport (KOA), about a mile or maybe a little less away from the Fairmont Orchid. There is a Foodland grocery store very nearby.This house is in one of two developments, the KaMilo and the Kulalani, that share a large common pool area and fitness center. We've stayed in the Kulalani development twice in the past, which seems to have more of the adjoining townhomes; this house is in the KaMilo side, which appears to have the larger single family homes. You have keycard access to the Mauna Lani beach club and the Napua restaurant.This property is one of the best equipped we've ever stayed in. For example, it's the first rental we've had with an adequate number of tongs, which may seem like a weird metric but one of the things we often feel like we're missing when we vacation. There's all kind of beach equipment, even 3 bicycles to ride. The rental company is very responsive.The home did that great thing for vacations where the property itself kinda fades away from notice and what you remember is the ridiculous game of charades you played with the family where no one could guess that grandma's was trying to mime "bear".

Our party of 7 enjoyed all that the area has to offer and the accommodations were perfect for a family and friends vacation. The property was clean, well cared for and comfortable. Communication was easy and the host went out of his way to be responsive. We are hoping to return next year!

The house was great for 2 families, with 10 people total. Loved all the beach gear in the garage. Only 1 good boogie board but we bought 2 decent ones and left them there. Loved being close to hapuna beach. Enjoyed a couple take out dinners in the pool area. Only small complaint was the WiFi didn’t always work (we reset the router and then it worked fine)..

Great property in an amazing area. House had everything we needed and more! Kids loved it. Super clean. Tons of beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, toys, boogie boards, snorkel gear. Very quiet neighborhood and a very short walk to pool and gym which was a plus!

I can think of no better word than PERFECT to describe this home for our stay on the Big Island. The home had more than everything we needed from the spacious rooms, lanai and beautiful pool and spa. The access to the resort amenities, especially the beach club, were amazing. We will be back.

There were seven family members of all ages. We had a great stay. House fit us well and we all had our own space. We did wish the house was closer to the beach. We had to drive to find it. But overall it all worked out.

The condo was welcoming and exceptionally well-equipped for everyone in our family group from the baby to the chefs. Likewise, the cove at the beach club was ideal for the beginning snorkelers as well as the more advanced. The access to the putting green, pools, and proximity to shopping made this property a perfect fit for us. It couldn’t have been better!

We loved staying at Serenity Villa. The home is lovely- very comfortable and well equipped- with everything we needed for a weeks stay at the beach. The snorkeling and beach gear were particularly appreciated. We cooked a lot and the kitchen set up and cookware suited our group of 9 very well.

What a wonderful place to stay. Owners thought of everything. I couldn’t recommend this property more. I hope it’s always available when we want to come back. Pack & plays, high chair, bikes, snorkel stuff. This place has it all. Doesn’t feel like a vacation rental. Nice furniture and super comfortable beds. So much YES

Our family of 5, plus both sets of grandparents (9 total) stayed for 8 days at Mauna Kea Sunrise. The home met or exceeded our expectations on every level. The layout is spacious with lots of outdoor areas. There were several places for our large group to gather, and also quiet spaces for each to get away when desired. The kitchen and dining area were well stocked for cooking meals. The garage had everything we needed for the beach (chairs and towels), snorkeling, biking, sand castles and also toys for the neighborhood pool/park. Great AC. We brought only one nightlight to help find bathrooms at night--we wish we brought 1 or 2 more. The beach pass and the daily resort passes worked great. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this property with our two young daughters and my parents. The house had extremely comfy beds, a well equipped kitchen and literally everything you could need - beach toys, kids games, rice cooker, etc. We had the nicest stay and the property manager was beyond helpful and accommodating. We also thought the house was in a great location with walkability to the market, Fairmont and restaurants. Would high recommend!

In general the property was clean and organized. One thing to note is that one of the bedrooms had a strong mildew odor when the air conditioner was used. We would stay again. This was a great location with its proximity to Kona and other activities.

Mike is a nice guy who let us check in early and was extremely responsive when we needed additional dishwasher soap. This property is large enough for 10 adults to stay but does not have enough dishes in the kitchen to support that many people easily. There are also a lot of HOA things that make the property less inviting including a gate with a code that is not easy to enter from the driver seat of your car. Overall a nice place to stay though with a pool nearby and grocery stores just down the road. But i don’t think I would return.
