Rested so comfortably. Nice and private gated neighborhood. Quiet hours were so appreciated. Beautiful and peaceful backyard view. House was so clean and super comfortable. Only one issue was the master bathtub had no warm or hot water so couldn't utilize it but it was ok, took a short walk to the public jacuzzi.

I travel for work on the big island, and the golf villas never disappoint. We stayed in this exact unit last year as well, and everything was awesome. Clean, spacious, well stocked, and the access to the private beach is the cherry on top. The only downside is the 4 o’clock check-in. They say that you can request an early check-in, but this place is now managed by a company through VACASA versus an individual person, so you get the standard automated response for any real personal service, but other than that, really no complaints. It is what it is. Oh one other thing, the separate detached garage was the perfect storage unit for our paddleboard and surfboards that we rent. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for big Island getaway.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo is inviting comfortable and quiet. The kitchen is well equipped and we prepared several meals there. The spice cabinet is well stocked but you will need most everything else. Highly recommended to stay here

We were a family of six with two young children and had the best time! The condo is super clean and comfortable, with everything you might need. We visited nearby beaches and did some exploring. The neighborhood is very quiet — we never heard anyone. We definitely used the rental SUV every day; I'm not sure it would be doable without a car. The hosts were wonderful — super responsive but otherwise invisible. Thank you so much! We hope to return someday!

Everything was great about this property from the communication of the host to the cleanliness and location of the unit. Plenty of beach supplies and a suprisingly big kitchen! Beautiful view from the outdoor patio. The only thing to note is that the wifi signal is very weak. If you are planning to do work here take that into consideration and plan to head to a nearby coffee shop or use personal hotspot if necessary. Would recommend this property and would stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay! The property looks just like the pictures and actually feels more spacious in-person. We had everything we could need between the kitchen, bathrooms, and garage. Cooked breakfast every morning, BBQ’d out on the patio, plenty of linens, and lots of fun gear for the beaches in the garage. We had no issues accessing the unit or the amenities - like the lovely community pool that’s just steps away from the back patio. The patio is also a fun place to bird watch or hang out while kids ran around in the grass yard. We were very happy to find plenty of activities/places to visit within easy driving or biking distance ((Kalahuipua’a Fishponds, Malama Petroglyph Trail, Holoholokai Beach, Hāpuna Beach, and the shopping center at Mauna Lani - great coffee and lunch shops). We were also close to The Saddle Road connection and other major roads, which made exploring the island via car easier as well. Plenty of space in the driveway to park the mega SUV we had rented to get our crew around the island. We hope we can come back again soon! Highly recommend this property.

We have been to Hawaii over 40 times and for years we have used VRBO…this was the first time at the Golf Villas and we really enjoyed it. Loved the layout of the pool and very convenient to M2. Place was clean and everything worked…except the auto light for the BBQ, not serious but was an inconvenience to light it and of course the access to the Mauna Lani beach is great as well. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend this unit.

This place is the perfect spot for a family with 2 children. The perfect amount of space and right next to the pool and fitness area. The neighborhood was close to everything we needed. It was a short drive to shopping, restaurants, groceries, beach, and golf. It is also close to Waimea and Waikaloa Village for more great food options. Specifically, Waimea for top restaurants and farmers markets. This is a great place. Don’t miss this opportunity.

We loved staying at the Mauna Lani Golf Villas! Kimby & Ken were amazing hosts and super responsive with recommendations and info. We were grateful they made it possible for us to have a late check-out. The space was perfect for my husband, 5 kids and me. We loved having access to the beach club. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed. We especially loved having beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, sand toys and snorkel gear available in the condo. We had a blast paddle boarding to the captain cook monument to snorkel, doing the manta ray night snorkel, and taking the van tour down into the Waipio Valley. I'd highly recommend all of those activities. We can't wait to come back.

Great place to stay, the owners were responsive to questions and their check in list made everything easy. Cute place with all the basic things you need for a vacation- chairs, umbrellas, snorkels for the beach. Well supplied kitchen- love that it has a BBQ on the unit.
April 2025
Absolute perfect place to stay with family if you’re visiting the big island! The hosts were so gracious and accommodating. Place was impeccably clean. I have zero complaints. The private beach was great to have a place to go right down the street. The pool was just out back and could see it from the lanai. We will absolutely be staying here if we come back to the big island.

This property is very nicely appointed. The unit was easy to access with the code. The instructions were very clear and accurate. The unit was very comfortable with a lot of seating, the kitchen had many appliances, utensils and cooking gear. The unit is very quiet. Though there were people above us, noise was not an issue. Our 15 year old son used the sofa bed and it was very comfortable. The pool area is very nice with many chairs and umbrellas. We used the gym and it had all the necessary equipment. The Beach Club was really a highlight. If you want to get a cabana, you have to arrive early. But, if you don't get it, there are chairs abound and shade from trees. There are also chairs and umbrellas in the garage so there is a lot of options. We also used the cooler. There is a restaurant at the Beach Club as well. Note that you will have to drive to the beach club as it is a bit far if you are carrying gear to the beach. Also, have to drive to the resort(s) stores as they are a bit far for a leisurely walk. Overall a beautiful property and very comfortable for our family of four.

Mauna Lani is a beautiful resort. The golf villas are set back into the resort. It's about a 5 minute drive to the beach club. The villa is a very short walk to the pool. It looks out over the golf course.The Villa itself is well stocked and spacious. Our family of 5 had plenty of room to spread out. The villa is clean and well kept. We would definitely stay here again. We had a wonderful time!

Overall, this is a nice property. The golf villas at Mauna Lani is a lovely community, well kept, with a very pretty (smallish) pool area. It is a fair distance to the shops, so not really walking distance to anything. You will definitely need a car to get to the beach or shops. The unit itself is very nice, although we all felt like the couch could use a deep clean. Our main issues while there were cockroaches and lack of beach equipment. For the first two or three days of our stay, we had a congregation of cockroaches greeting us in the foyer, kitchen, and downstairs bedroom. Upon contacting the property management company, we were informed that a pest control treatment had been applied the day before our arrival which would result in increased pest activity. This was very unfortunate. They did subside, as we were told, but it was very unpleasant. The property management company was very responsive, but there wasn't much they could do. Then there was the issue of lack of beach equipment. We have stayed at many properties in the Mauna Lani area, and never have we encountered a property that was so poorly equipped with beach stuff. 2 umbrellas (both broken), 3 chairs (two of which had broken carrying straps), a bag of beach toys, no boogie boards, no snorkelling equipment. I was told by the property mgmnt company that they did not provide beach equipment because of liability issues. So strange. This is a beach vacation property. The condo is spacious and the lanai lovely.

We really enjoyed our stay in Mauna Lani. We were very comfortable and really enjoyed sitting on the lanai in the morning to watch the sunrise. The condo has everything and anything that you would want for an ideal vacation. The pool is only a stones throw away and was never overly crowded. The hosts were very pleasant and responsive and we really appreciated our welcome.

This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. The condo was clean, comfy and had everything we needed. The pool/hot tub area was gorgeous and a perfect size. The grounds are gorgeous. Having the Mauna Lani stores nearby were priceless. Sushi at the grocery store is delicious! Jess was an incredible host!! You are minutes from multiple gorgeous beaches, including a small black sand beach. You can get a massage in an ocean hut at the nearby Fairmont. Napua is a hidden gem restaurant, located at the Mauna Lani owners beach. The owner was amazing. We even got to drive to Volcano National Park to see Mt. Kilauea erupting. The weather in the Mauna Lani area was sunny and 80 degrees every day, while it was overcast and colder in Kona. Mauna Lani is heaven on earth!

I’m very familiar with the Mauna Lani condominium complexes as I have been staying here for the last 30 years. This condominium is very nice but not at the top for overall Decor and provisions. The location is lovely and the view from the patio is very nice. The kitchen is well-equipped. The towels in the bathrooms should be refreshed, as they are rather dingy. The pool is lovely and the landscaping is very well done.

This unit is very convenient for families, the pool is just steps away, beautiful front lawn area and the landscaping is amazing. Waking up to the birds and beautiful sunrise is definitely "Hawaii". Had breakfast on patio every morning. Lots of parking due to long driveway. Garage is stocked with everything you need for a days at the beach. The bikes were an added surprise. Loved every bit of it.

Highly recommend and plan to return to this wonderful vrbo! Truly felt like home. Clean and in a great location. Exactly as pictured. We did not use this for golf (which would be perfect as it's right on the course) but it was great for our family. The community pool is nice and access to the beach club is amazing. The entire community is very peaceful and friendly as well.

We absolutely loved this rental. Pool on site with a grill. The Beach Club was fantastic since Hilton Waikoloa village doesn’t really have much of an ocean facing beach. The public beach that abuts the Hilton tended to be crowded… so the private Ocean Club for Mauna Lani residents was great. The Hilton Waikalia village was just a 5 minute drive…or if one was motivated, walkable on the Lava Rock path just outside the entrance to the golf villas. Plenty of great restaurants nearby. Ideal location.

Older travellers who have rented condos on Hawaii many times. Golf Villas is a beautiful older development close to beach. Our condo had a comfy bed and a nice carpet & great breezes from the window in the bedroom. Sadly, the condo in general featured a tired, dated looking decor, badly in need of a refresh. Inside of fridge was dirty - mainly because of 21 (!) bottles of old condiments left inside to clutter shelves. Oven was dirty and one of the double sinks was grubby. Coffee maker & toaster okay but old & stained. One sink in master bath was missing the sink stopper. The patio had a nice table but small uncomfortable chairs. There was nothing to lounge on or even sit comfortably on for any time. We were unable to access the garage (our fault as we should have contacted the manager when key did not work). Beach chairs are essential for a condo as the Beach Club chairs are all taken very early on in the popular - even crowded at times - beach. Altogether an enjoyable stay in an older condo that might be fine for a small young family or a laid back couple who aren’t too fussy.

Our condo was just as advertised. Beautiful golf course view. Fantastic view of the mountains. Beaches were just minutes away. We used the grill and ate dinner on the lanai. The pool is small but clean and a nice place to just relax without the crowds. A few suggestions: The beach club is pretty crowded. I recipe d getting up early and going to 49 Black Sands beach. It is so stunning and at 8am we had the beach to ourselves. Gorgeous view and clear water. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it!

Beautiful, well established condos around golf course. Comfortable for families. Close to private beach -great for our 3 yr old grandson. 4 miles from Hapuna which was nice for those of us a bit older. Outdoor grill works great, just close door and back windows to avoid smoke alarm going off. Updated fridge held all necessary condiments with room for food for two weeks. Well stocked kitchen pots etc. Washer door had closer issues, known to owner which was fixed in first week. Onsite maintenance folks did our first load of laundry and folded nicely - great service!. Didn't need AC as we just left windows open at night and during cooler part of the day. Big storm for a day was an interesting change from beautiful warm, sunny days. Recommend this condo!
