Great condo with everything you need. Beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkeling gear provided. Easy walk to the beach and Mauna Lani hotel.

This is a great place to stay. The house is well accommodated in a beautiful area of the resort. Richard was very responsive before the stay and made it clear he was easily reachable if we had any issues…which we did not. The house and experience exceeded our expectations and we would definitely stay again.

Getting in and out matters. Easy to find codes that are correct and clear. Pedestrian gate is not far entry. We called support for clarity 5 times in first two days and went thru interrogation each time. No problem for tech-savvy youngsters but four 75 year old guys were easily stumped by confusing and not quite complete instructions. (example: press 1 or pound”
With those problems were solved, the property was great
By the 3re day they were minor. Very good stay!

Aside from being too short, our stay at Palm Villas B23 was perfect in every way! The unit was immaculate, quiet, comfortable, and one of the best equipped vacation rentals we’ve had. We especially loved having all the beach gear (towels, chairs, umbrella, snorkeling equipment, and boogie boards) right in the garage ready for us.
Palm Villas location is ideal, within easy walking distance of the shops and restaurants, and a pleasant 15-minute walk from the beach club. We used the pool and hot tub two afternoons; both were well maintained and uncrowded. The next door neighbor and her little dog were kind and welcoming, and the rental was even more spacious than it appears in photos.
Mahalo, and hopefully we will be lucky enough to return for another stay someday!

We had a wonderful vacation with our adult kids and teens. Mauna Lani had all the amenities we love. Pool, hot tub, walking paths, and the private beach club. We loved our time out on the lanai playing cards and sipping drinks. It is close to all the best beaches and the garage was full of toys to make the beach fun! Thank you!!

This condo is nicely situated with about a 20 minute scenic walk to the beach across a lava field and fish ponds. The patio looks out at the golf course and has a great BBQ. Accommodations were excellent with comfortable beds, spices, and more than enough detergent/soap. One negative was that the dishwasher did not clean the dishes adequately, so we found some dishes with food residue in the cabinet and hand washed our dirty dishes for the week. Another thing to note is that the master bathroom does not have a door to separating the shower, so one has to close the door to the bedroom if privacy is desired. Finally, the living room smoke detector battery, about 15 feet above the ground, decided to start chirping in the middle of the night one day. We called Vacasa, but did not have anyone show up until mid day. It should be noted that we received fair compensation for this inconvenience and the overall stay was excellent!

Nice private unit at end of complex, very safe, garage held great equipment for the beach for everyone; loved the beautiful walk to the private beach and ocean access. Kitchen great size for cooking local fish and produce. Snorkeling amazing, one of the best beaches!

Condos and landscaping are well kept. Overall a quiet and safe place with lots of activity in walking distance. Only wish I could smoke a cigar on the patio/lanai.

My family of five had an amazing stay at Mauna Lani H22. The house is situated on a gorgeous property, the views were amazing, the trade winds lulled us to sleep (never used the a/c) and the sunsets were outstanding. The house has tons of extras that we took full advantage of too - Tupperware, coolers, beach chairs, noodles, snorkel gear, boogie boards, and there were even a few pairs of ocean shoes (I also left one behind to share). I would definitely recommend this house and would go back in a sec!! It was aloha paradise!

Basic condo with excellent amenities and good location. We rented a 2 BR for 2 couples but were given a 3 BR This caused the second BR to be very small, and one couple got a small room with barely a dresser, with a small twin room adjacent to their small room. Would have preferred the 2 BR we requested

Perfect stay! Everything was so nice and clean and the condo had everything our family needed. So close to the pool which was a big hit with our younger kids!
We never felt like our kids bothered anyone there which was so nice after reading some of the reviews and have 4 kids 9 and under. The snorkeling at beach club was sensational and a perfect spot for young children to swim! We will be visiting again really soon! Thank you!

This beautifully decorated and cared for condominium is ideally located near the shops and the resort hotel. The view from the lanai over the lava fields, and out to the sea is stunning! We enjoy the sunsets in the evening so much. our favorite walk was the walk along the Hawaiian fish ponds, the swimming pool is ideal for adults and small children and gorgeously landscaped. This stay is a ten!

We felt the property needed some tlc. The every day cleanliness was fine but needed a deep clean. Windows for example were very dirty.
The stock of dishes needed replenished especially glasses. The beach amenities were pretty much nonexistent or old and worn out.
The grounds and pool area at this property were very nice. The property manager was quite responsive to are one request and followed up to make sure our stay was going well.

This was a lovely place to spend our first visit to the Big Island. It is a small condo, maybe better for 4 adults, but 6 of us made it work!
The condo is surrounded by beauty. The beach is about a half mile walk and is one of the prettiest beaches we visited. Bring your water shoes, there are lots of lava rocks in the sand!
We called the property manager a couple of times with requests and they were very helpful.

The condo was exactly as described. Perfect for a family. It is a very quiet location and right by the pool. Easy walking access around lava tubes and tide pools as well as quick drive to food and groceries. Access to the beach club was a nice treat as well. It was a nice central location for our various destinations on the island. We had a fantastic experience.

Everything was terrific except one thing: from the moment we arrived the AC didn't work. Folks were very responsive and nice but the fix was apparently a big deal and wasn't finished (or even started) during our stay. Apparently verifying that the AC works is on the inspection checklist before each guest arrives so unfortunately I do think the ball was dropped.

My family and I enjoyed staying at this lovely Palm Villa property. Richard and Karee were very responsive to all of our questions and requests. The villa was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The property was a short walk to the ocean and the children enjoyed the historic information provided along the way to the beach. We hope to stay here again.

The condo worked fine, however, I was expecting an Ocean view and we got a lava view. The air-conditioning fan is very noisy inside. There were no instructions how to get to the beach club and we got very lost on foot. Most kitchen items were great, however, not enough mugs for coffee. All of the shelves in the kitchen above the first one we’re way too high for someone who is short, they could be lowered. The deck was so small we could not fit six people on it for dinner. Next time I prefer a first level condo.

We love this location. This unit was fully stocked. It even had a pack and play for infants. Communication with company was perfect and quick. Unit could have been cleaned a bit more. It was given a quick "wipe" before us versus a clean.

This was such a beautiful condo complex! The gated community was impeccably landscaped. The condo had everything we needed from morning coffee on the shaded patio overlooking lava caves and palm trees to homemade tropical drinks at night. There are plenty of places to explore during the day. The beach club with a beautiful protected cove beach was a short walk from the condo down a paved path through a historical lava park. You can hear the waves crashing from the condo! There was quick communication regarding check in and minor issues were handled quickly. It was nice having a full washer and dryer in the unit. The entire Mauna Lani resort is beautiful! We would definitely stay here again. It was a spectacular and so peaceful! We hated to leave!

We enjoyed a family trip, my spouse and our young adult kids. We were traveling with my sister and her family including kids 8 & 10 years old. (stayed in condo in the same complex - many to choose from so great for this arrangement)
There was something for everyone, walking to beach, beautiful pool, walk to restaurants at Mauna Lani. Walk to coffee shop and groceries. Beautiful lava tube parkland adjacent to the villas.
The kitchen at I-1 was the best equipped kitchen of any vacation rental I've stayed in. Even a griddle for pancakes in the morning. Would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our time in this unit. There were three good sized rooms that was perfect for 5 of us. The beds were a little hard but that is personally preference.
The kitchen was well stocked and we used both the rice cooker and slow cooker.
The view was lovely and we enjoyed out time on the Lanai.
The Mauna Lani are was great and we liked this area and close proximity to Foodland.
I would rent this unit again.

We had a wonderful time in this rental. Great location and resort. The space was very functional, spacious, clean, and had all the essentials. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. There were a few minor maintenance issues (screen door handle broken, lanai ceiling fan did not work) but it did not diminish from a great stay. Garage has all the beach essentials. Love Rentals was very responsive and had timely communication with the checkout process. Great customer service. We will definitely be back!

The location was great. Not in a city but not too far from everything. Market and coffee shop within walking distance, as was the beach. It was also the perfect place to launch for our various trips around the island.

Our overall experience was great. This place had all the amenities one would need which was greatly appreciated for a family of 5. The location was perfect, easily accessible to the beach and a perk to use the private beach for the club.
I rated the place 4 star vs 5 because we had ants in the guest bathroom during our stay. However, I mentioned this to Jane the property manager when we were leaving which she was appreciative of the information and would notify pest control. There were personal toiletries there too which I wasn't sure if it was meant for other guests to use or just not removed from previous. The property management was very attentive and responsive in a timely fashion. I would stay here again. Mahalo!!

The condo’s location in Palm Villas is excellent, close to tennis, and the unit has lovely views of foliage and the pool. It was quiet and comfortably sleeps 6. We really appreciated the beach gear for guest use in the garage and loved spending time at the beach club. I would give 4.5 stars overall if I could. We had issues with some of the appliances not working properly including washer/dryer, and while it sleeps 6, the 2 tables each had 4 chairs. Kitchen has the basics. Parking is oddly in the unit next door. Property management was responsive, which we appreciated.

Great place, very quiet with amazing access to community pool and a short scenic walk to the beach. Richard was great to deal with and the condo was exactly as advertised. Great to have access to coolers, beach umbrella, beach chairs, snorkel gear, etc. There wasn't anything that we needed during our stay that wasn't provided in the unit.
Can't wait to come back!

The condo was very clean and spacious for our family of 6. Steps away from a beautiful pool that was never crowded. The beach club parking pass was great. The garage was stocked with Tommy Bahama beach chairs, a cooler, snorkeling equipment, bikes, etc. Walking distance to 5 star hotels, great restaurants, and a grocery store. The property manager, Olivia, was always available and was wonderful to work with from booking through checkout. I highly recommend this property!

This condo is in a great location. We had everything we needed to cook and it was very easy to get to everything around the island. We used the private beach access one day, but there are so many beautiful beaches nearby that we ended up visiting a different beach every morning. Overall, we were very happy with the condo and the location and the hosts were very quick to respond to any questions.
My only suggestion would be to add a day bed in the upstairs loft. There is plenty of space for it.

House was as advertised and better. We are a very experienced VRBO family and I’ve never seen a house so well stocked. We cooked a full Christmas dinner! Very clean, nice amenities, and great beds. Only drawback is the extreme, in my opinion, restrictions on “noise”. Although we never had a problem.

We took a quick trip back to Hawaii to visit our friends and family after moving to the mainland a few years back and stayed at the condo in Mauna Lani. I am very picky with cleanliness and I was very impressed!! The unit is very clean and had all the things we needed. Having a baby it was a must have to have a pack and play and they had a very clean one. We also needed to extend our stay and Meredith was great with helping us with this. The swimming pool is right off the Lani, which was great especially with kiddos. The game changer was the private beach. As someone who is from Hawaii and knows all the beaches, they get very crowded, this was not the case with the private beach. It was super clean and had all the chairs and cabanas, as well as an on site restaurant. The beach doesn’t have big waves which makes it great for little kids. We will 100% always stay in this unit when we come back and visit! Can’t say enough great things!

The condo was great for our family! We enjoyed being on the Mauna Lani property and having access to the beach club and our own pool (which was very nice). You can walk to the beach, but it is easier to drive if you are bringing stuff with you (and there is a lot of great beach stuff in the garage). Decent snorkeling at beach club and the Mauna Lani grounds are pretty. Nearby restaurants are higher end (especially if you have kids) but the grocery store is great with lots of prepared food for easy lunches and dinners. The unit was well-equipped although it was a little dusty when we arrived, and it could use a dish rack in the kitchen (this is a minor complaint obviously!). Very good location for golfers as well. We had a little issue with the key pad on the door, but management was very responsive and also sent someone out to fix it within the hour. We would stay there again!
