I could not have asked for a better property to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday with our family! Everyone audibly gasped when they walked into the house for the first time. The grand living space is so beautiful and made group breakfasts and dinners a breeze. You enter the house on the second level where the living room, kitchen, dining room, powder room, balcony with outdoor dining and bbq, and finally the second room with an en suite. The other three bedrooms are located downstairs. Each room was spacious and beautifully decorated. All 8 adults were comfortable in their respective rooms. The larger resort community is incredible. The beach club was perfect for a beach day and we spent two days just doing that. There is a black sand beach on the resort that is a must see! There is a grocery store walking distance from the house with everything you could need for your stay. The gated community that the house is in was also amazing. We loved the pool and jacuzzi facility. We would 100% stay here again if we find ourselves on the Big Island.

This house was amazing and the owners provide excellent customer service. Truly one of the best customer service we’ve ever had. Thanks for helping us make some amazing lasting memories. We will definite be looking for paradise in Hawaii stays in the future.

Attached are photos of the sheets of the master bed and bedroom on the lower floor. FILTHY - STAINS FROM PRIOR GUESTS. We had to wash the sheets before using those beds......DISGUSTING!!!! This tainted our entire stay. Property manager acknowledged the problem, but didn't seem to really care. The unit needs refreshing, but is in a great location and could be outstanding. Pool had a sweeper in it that should have been removed before guests arrived and my request to remove it myself was granted, but was told the pool guy would not be happy. That might be fine if the pool guy was paying for our lodging. No remote provided for garage so if you want to use it you need to park, enter garage, open and then park. Not ideal and first unit we have rented for our annual visit to the Big Island that did not provide a remote.

We had a couple of A/C issues (after a power outage). The host company was incredibly prompt to solve the problem. Very quick to respond to any queries we had. Well done!!The house itself was great. It suited our family perfectly. If ever on the Big Island again, would definitely consider a repeat stay.

Reviewer Comments:
The host allowed us to check in a little earlier than scheduled, which we were grateful. The rental was just as pictured. There were seven adults so it was perfect. There is one thing that we all thought was a negative, and that was there were not enough towel bars in the bathrooms. There were only one towel bar in each bathroom, so one of each couple had to hang their towel over a suitcase or something else. One other thing (and I remember seeing another review mentioning the same thing) and that was that you were unable to see some of the golf course because of the big bush/tree blocks the view. Otherwise it was a great stay, location is great!

Everything was wonderful, including welcoming gifts. The cottage had everything we could have asked for. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom. The lanai was completely private. We enjoyed sitting out and watching the birds come to the lawn. The pool and hot tub were very close by.

This home is beautiful inside and out. The kitchen has everything you need, plus a BBQ outside with a beautiful lanai overlooking the pool and golf course. The house was clean and comfortable. The entrance pass to the beach club was a bonus as was the use of the golf cart to get back and forth to the beach and the nearby grocery store. Highly recommend this home!

Windows had smears/streaks. Some areas were dusty, kitchen pots and pans need to be replaced because nonstick Teflon is scratched and peeling. A suggestion from my mom is it would be nice to have a simple air printer to print airline itinerary or for small business documents. Also it would be nice to know when maintenance workers are scheduled to show up. The pool guy popped up unannounced, not even using a uniform. The other time we stayed, 4 guys entered the pool area to trim hedges. I don’t know why it can’t be scheduled before or after guest check in. Other than that the stay was lovely!

I'm not sure how our stay at LOTUS PAD could have been any better. The property manager was extremely helpful and extremely prompt in replying to minor issues we encountered during our stay. The home may have been the best equipped we've experienced for towels, pots and pans, dishes, utensils, kitchen appliances, cleaning and essential supplies. Everything worked well and the instructions the property manager provided were extremely helpful. Those are the practical considerations.Here's why you want to stay at LOTUS PAD. The surroundings are idyllic, set on the fairway of a Par 3 hole on the Mauna Lani golf course overlooking a beautiful mountain range and the ocean in the background. We especially enjoyed our mornings on the upper lanai with breakfast and coffee! The interior living areas are vast, extremely well-appointed and very comfortable. The kitchen is a chef's dream with upscale appliances and all of the tools needed to make great meals. The outdoor grill was wonderful. The bedrooms and bathrooms featured very comfortable beds, very nice bathrooms, and all the towels you could ever need. The internet and the cable TVs were top notch.I can't say enough about the pool, which is beautiful, spacious, clean and calming. Having said that, you're near Hapuna Beach, which is incredible and the Mauna Lani Beach Club which features a private beach. LOTUS PAD is near great restuarants, grocery stores and shopping. What a wonderful place.

This home was perfect for our family vacation. The home was clean and came well equipped with everything you could need. The beds were very comfortable too. We enjoyed the views from the patio and from every window upstairs. Not only is the house, the grounds well maintained. Our property manager Mike was exceptional! He went above and beyond to make our stay the best. Thank you Mike, We can’t wait to come back.

Wish list:1) Entrance gate “clicker” to avoid having to get out of car to manually input the code.2). Provide code to side entrance door to the garage. The car can get locked in the garage with no way of getting the garage door open (clicker left in car).3). Beach towels are getting a little worn.4). Spa heats, but pump circulation is set so low there is very little aeration.5). Main bedroom bed pillows are becoming lumpy due to age.6) Would love to have had a pineapple “corer” as a kitchen utensil.7). Would love to have had a couple of bicycles.8). Note: Backyard irrigation system is “spouting” (wasting water) in two places near the steps to the pool.We loved the house…the above items, as mentioned, are just a suggested “wish list.” Thank you for sharing your home with us.

There was not one thing missing from our “home”. From the very timely and thorough communications from the owners (thank you Heidi) to the covering of every need you might have for your stay… Fantastic! We were there with our son, daughter -in -law and 3 grandchildren 10, 7, and 6 We loved the pool, evenings on the lanai, and all the equipment that we used daily for our excursions to the beaches, biking, and exploring. Makes us smile just thinking about our stay. 10 out of 10

Great place with plenty of space for our family and friends. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and it included a wine fridge which was a plus. We also enjoyed the private beach access and took advantage of it multiple days. The host communication throughout our stay was responsive and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again.

This was a wonderful place to stay. It was so lovely and clean and definitely met all our needs—including the needs of our toddlers. It was close to the pools, market, and beach. There are a lot of beach toys, snorkeling gear, and games available to use. The hosts are very kind and helpful and are great with communicating and responding to questions. I highly recommend this place. I’m hoping we will return sometime.

We really enjoyed our trip. It was perfect. Fabulous. Heidi our host was very helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate our 3 generation family.The home has a grand master suite upstairs that I used. It was quiet and away from the noise and business of the younger group downstairs. I’m 83 and it was a perfect get away for me. It also had a lovely view of the morning sunrise over the mountains. The home had good snorkeling equipment which my family enjoyed and they were all excited about the abundance of fish at the near by beach and I appreciated the pool which was just a 5 minute walk from the condo. The large kitchen was fully equipped and my very excellent family chefs made good use of all the spices and we were treated to some very delicious meals.Thank you, Heidi. I truly appreciate your support and help which contributed so much to our family vacation.Aloha, Maile Trask-Rierson

We had two sets of grandparents, aunt, my husband and I, and our 3 kids (5, 3, and 1) stay for 9 nights at this property. One bedroom is upstairs, the remaining 3 are downstairs so if mobility is an issue for many members of the group, I wouldn’t recommend this property. Otherwise, it’s GREAT! We loved the open space, the lanais, the Mauna Lani beach club, pool, and fitness center. Things to note: 1) if you want to explore the Hilo/Kilaeaua side of the island a lot, stay on that side for a couple nights, it’s a long drive over there and not economical to go back and forth everyday; 2)we had unexpected visitors (a scorpion and gecko). We removed the scorpion but the gecko was fast and we couldn’t catch him. He was there before we got there and is still here now. 3)the downstairs bath has mold and mildew on the shower curtain and in the grout. The rest of the bathrooms (3) were super clean; 4) the beds have varying degrees of firmness. The bunk bed room has the firmest. The downstairs master bed is fairly soft. It’s like Goldilocks and the three bears trying to find the right comfort level. The bunk beds were perfect for my older kids and I put the guardrails up to make sure they didn’t fall off. My 1 yr old slept in the pack and play provided and the baby monitor was easy to use. 5)there’s no baby gate for the stairs so we used the bar stools to block the stair access for my 1 yr old but it’s a pain. With everything said, I would stay again! Thanks!

Our stay at this home was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, welcoming, and exactly as described. Being able to step right outside and enjoy the pool was such a treat—it truly made the experience relaxing and memorable. The outdoor terrace and grill were also wonderful; we enjoyed spending time there while taking in the spectacular views.The amenities provided were thoughtful and convenient, making the stay feel effortless. The location was another highlight—close to everything we needed, yet still peaceful and private. It really struck the perfect balance.We felt so comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay. It’s clear that the host takes great pride in creating a warm and enjoyable experience for their guests. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and well-appointed place to stay.

The house was perfect for our stay in Hawaii. It was exactly as pictured and super comfortable. One of my party has mobility challenges so we loved that it was just one floor (unlike so many others where the bedrooms are up a flight of stairs) and there was a walk-in shower, which was ideal for her. It was also spotless and it had all the necessities. I was especially impressed with the quality of the kitchen items. We cooked at the house several times and it had everything we needed. I want that dinnerware for my own house! The location is also great. It's a two minute drive to the grocery store and shops, and just down the road to a couple beautiful beaches, including a secluded black sand beach.Lastly, the management company has excellent communication. We had all the info we needed for a seamless check-in and check-out. I love a stress-free arrival after a long day of travel. We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone. Thanks!

We were a family with 2 grandparents, two couples and two grandchildren. This house was perfect for us. It was spacious and airy and was incredibly well equipped with everything that we needed, including all kitchen equipment and a huge range of beach equipment. There were even lots of spices, condiments etc. in the cupboard. The rental company kept in touch all the time and answered all our questions immediately. We are very happy indeed that we chose this spectacular house.

The layout was perfect for gathering together and also for having separate time. The items provided in the kitchen allowed us to cook some meals, and we even made good use of the grill. Absolutely wonderful stay in a beautiful home in a beautiful location. The golf cart was also very handy for going to the beach and nearby areas.
