The condo was just perfect. We love the beach club and bar and also liked being able to go to the Auberge! Thank you!!

Have stayed in many Mauna Lani condos over the years, but this was our first time at the Terraces. By far the best of all locations. Loved waking along the ancient Hawaiian fish ponds to the beach. Very nice condo. Comfortable…easy to relax in and out on the lanai that looks out over a beautiful pond. Such a lovely stay. Mahalo, Daniel.

Property was decorated to give you the Hawaiian feel inside as well as you look at the outside. One minor issue resolved right away. Short walk to a nice beach with chairs and cabana available to people who stayed at Mauna Lani Terrace.

Great location within Mauna Lani Terrace, wonderful ocean view, close to the pool but not too close. Condo had everything you need and was very clean. Nice, relaxing, upscale condo at Mauna Lani.

I was with my daughter and granddaughter who is 8. Great location as it is within easy walking distance to the Mauna Lani Beach Club and to the Mauna Lani where we ate dinner a couple of nights. Love the Shoreline walk and easy access also to the grocery store. Definitely recommend!

Beautifully appointed condo, perfect for two people with all you could want for a clean, comfortable stay. Loved the large sliders onto the Lanai and new appliances. The owner was attentive in communicating and following up with any questions or request. The atmosphere at this location was quiet with a wonderful beach to enjoy close by - a great place to escape and relax.

The two families had a wonderful our stay here. Very comfortable home with 2 masters on opposite ends so privacy for each couple and one toddler. The lanai, the bathrooms and the living spaces are beautiful and functional. We enjoyed the pools, the three beaches within walking distance, and the amenities and restaurants at the nearby hotel - also with amazing views. The hosts were easily accessible and answered questions about using the TV's and the easy check out. Thank you Daniel and Harry for a wonderful vacation!

Such a nice home. Dave and Sue have thought of everything, and we so appreciated the informative binder regarding local sites and restaurants. The location and setting couldn’t be better.

Pros: Location is terrific, close to water, great view. The beds are comfortable, and the pool area is close by clean and nice. We enjoyed our stay, but want to bring a few things to the attention of the owners and management as well as future renters. The place is in great need of an upgrade. The refrigerator door has a dent in it, does not stay closed and needs to be checked, as well as damage to the outside of the door. Two kitchen towels were provided for a 3 week stay. None of the screen doors lock, and the bedroom screen came off the rail, and the frame came away from the wall in the master bedroom when the glass door was opened and or locked. The sheets and towels need to be upgraded-even a bit would help. The bath towels are like used gym towels, and when we asked for a few more, we were told that we could wash them. For the price, and a 3 week stay, I think there is a better solution. There are no pads on the chaise lounge, and when I asked management, I was told they could see if the owners would buy some. Some of this is just a matter of providing to match the price and a bit more comfort. But definitely in need of an upgrade. Management was kind and responsive when we asked for clean placemats and a few towels that were delivered. We recognize these are small incidentals but definitely even minute amenities..for this price range...need attention to detail.

First time staying in this condo, for a relaxing 3-week winter escape. Lee, the owner, is great to work with. Everything is as shown in the listing, no surprises. Location was great for us...the lanai is in the shade all day, in a quiet corner of the condo community. High end furnishings and accessories, easy parking, clean, updated, and modern. Good kitchen and entertainment tech. This is a very easy place to settle in and relax.

I've stayed at several units in this complex and keep coming back. The units are spacious, well appointed, and the location cannot be beaten. Best weather on the island, although you do have to get used to the lava rock landscape. Easy drive to several shopping spots for groceries, and the Beach Club beach is a short walk or easy drive if you haul a lot of gear.Close to both Mauna Kea and Hapuna beaches, which are stunning. This unit is perhaps in need of a little refresh, but for a vacation rental, no complaints.

The Terraces F102 was so lovely.... nicely decorated, spacious, right on the pond, sounds, smells, and small view of the ocean from the spacious lanai, access to pool and ocean just a 5 minute walk, as well as easy walk to The Mauna Lani Beach Club one direction down the beach and the hotel the other, right next door. The owner was very kind and responsive. I adored my time here and plan to come again!

There was simply nothing I could critique about the property or the owner. The unit was by far the best outfitted unit I've rented. There were plenty of towels, soap, paper towels -- everything. The kitchen was stocked just like my own. The beds were incredibly comfortable, with plenty of extra blankets. The owner instructions were detailed and thoughtful. Which brings me to the owner -- I chose this unit over others because fellow travelers commented on Lauren in their reviews. I second it all! She was helpful, thoughtful and kind. Lauren was patient with my questions and made me feel like I was staying at a friend's home rather than a VRBO condo. From start to finish, this property and owner were wonderful!

The unit has potential to be very nice. The furnishings need up grading to include the kitchen. The electrical box for the microwave has to be a code viloation. The kitchen applicances are old. The wood trim and shutters are nice but need cleaning and re-oiling.stain. The carpeting is filthy.

This two bedroom property came well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well appointed with anything you need for cooking in the closets contained all you need to relax and enjoy the beach. Great property!

We had a terrific stay at Mauni Lani Terrace Condominiums. This was our first stay at Big Island in over 25 years and did not know what to expect. This unit is located very centrally to everything around the island. We did not have enough time to do everything but will have to come back soon. The Unit itself is well furnished with everything that you need for a short or extended stay. We absolutely would recommend this Unit.

This condo is perfect. Quiet, private and very comfortable. We spent much of our time on the lanai enjoying the views. Never needed the air conditioning -the ocean breeze and the fans kept everything very comfortable.

This condo met all my needs for an easy, truly enjoyable Hawaiian vacation! It's the best location I've found in years of visiting the Kohala coast: five minute walk to a sheltered beach cove with spectacular snorkeling; 12 minute drive to Hapuna Beach state park for waves and boogie boarding, restaurants within easy walking distance, grocery store and shops a 5 minute drive. The condos feel private and luxurious with grounds containing beautiful plants and birdlife. They are set back from the ocean but with no buildings or road in between - you feel like you have an expanse of beauty in front of you. There is a landscaped lagoon that reaches the lanai and in the distance palm trees and ocean. The condos are adjacent to ancient Hawaiian fish ponds and these are fascinating for observing birds and fishes. I took a number of scenic walks and there are places for biking too. I was able to easily speak with the owner and he was always gracious and helpful. In sum, I loved my experience in F102. It is well away from the hustle/bustle of the hotels and yet offers better amenities for a much better price. Highly recommended.

Lakeview Terrace is a nicely appointed, well located condo worth your consideration.

The Mauna Lani Terraces are perfectly situated on the ocean, with prime swimming and walking to the north and south. This unit is welcoming, comfortable and well appointed. It boasts two master suites, a washer and dryer, living room, dining room, and kitchen that let out onto the lanai where we spent many hours. The host, Daniel Crowe, is gracious and easy to work with. A property manager is available in case of problems. It's a joy to get here and hard to leave. We've stayed here a couple of times and hope to return for many more visits.

Mauna Lani Terrace is the ideal place to headquarter for the Kona-Kohala side of the big Island. The condo is perfectly set up, with a pass to close and lovely snorkel cove, easy access to the terraces’ pool, hotel, lovely walks, convenient grocery store and some good dining nearby especially local-owned Napus. Loved our stay … always too short!
Melody M.
January 2024

It was a great stay for us. We loved the location. We were here for 11 nights. It was a typical VRBO. It’s clear from the photos that the unit hasn’t been updated in some time. I’m ok with that. The part that bothered me is the dishwasher might as well not be there. I have a Bosch dishwasher at home, so I was disappointed. Would stay here again especially if they get a Bosch dishwasher. We had a great time.

This condo in Mauna Lani was the best vacation experience we have ever had! We stayed for 3 weeks, which gave us enough time to see a lot of the natural beauty of the big island. The condo was the perfect home base. The location is great for day trips to volcanoes, hikes, the southernmost point, rainforests, ranches, etc. And you can easily walk to beautiful beaches, snorkeling, fish ponds, lava fields, petroglyphs, shopping, golf, restaurants, etc. The condo itself is even better than the photos. It is luxurious and beautifully decorated but also comfortable, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. Finally, the owners are the most hospitable, welcoming, and attentive hosts we have ever had. They went out of there way to make our stay absolutely perfect!

Wonderful listing. We felt right at home as soon as we got in. We were so thankful after our daily expeditions to come back, sit in the beautiful condo and look out at the ocean. Thanks so much Dave and Sue for the stay!

Our family of four really enjoyed the Mauna Lani Terrace Condo for its spectacular location, ocean & fishpond views, and its quiet, peaceful ambiance. The condo is spacious and is well stocked with kitchen supplies. The only issue was cleanliness which could use improvement.

This is a high end condo in a high end quiet development. The unit was fully stocked (as much as any we’ve been in). Very close to grocery , dive shop, and coffee shop. The pool area was quiet, with separate wading pool and large hot tub. The grilling area is a short walk from the unit. Overall exactly what we wanted.

We had a great time at the Terrace Lagoons overlooking the fish lagoons. A shopping mall and grocery store is within a 10 min walk or 3 min drive. 5 star restaurants are within a 5 min walk or drive. Our place was clean and inviting and the check in process was easy because we watched the instructional videos that Lee provided to us. He was very easy to reach when we had questions. Everything you could possibly need is included in the property, the appliances and the air conditioning worked wonderfully! The walkways are pleasant for purposes of exercise. The pool area was beautiful and quiet. This was our first time staying at the Lagoons and will be sure to visit again in the future. Thank you to the owner Lee!

Beautifully appointed, kitchen is new and well-stocked with non-perishable items. View of the lagoon is stunning. The lanai is especially inviting and lovely. The walk to pool and the beach is short. We highly recommend this unit and hope to come back.

January 2024

The condo was lovely and was really well-stocked. We did by basic groceries, but the kitchen had olive oil, salt, pepper and spices and a full range of kitchen equipment (including baking pans!) and sharp knives! It's a very short walk to the Mauna Lani hotel with its restaurants and to a lovely, sheltered beach. The pool is well set up and everything is very, very clean. There's a Foodland in the complex (2 minute drive) and it's a very short drive to the lovely white sand beach at Hapuna state park. We came in at night and had to search a little to find the right building, but that was the only thing that was trouble.

We love the Mauna Lani Terraces. Amazing views! The new pool /bbq area is terrific. And you can’t beat the beach club. D201 is well located but not our favorite floor plan. Tiny kitchen! But beautiful view and very comfortable furnishings.
