Came to race Ironman 70.3 Hawaii. Was perfect distance for race, shopping, food, and ocean access. Was very well maintained just like the pictures show. Will definitely look for this place again next time.

Location was outstanding . Pool very nice. Property needs update. From furniture to small appliances, we had issues. No hot water first 2 nights. Bbq Running out of propane . Maybe small things by themself, but together they added up.

We have a restful stay and enjoyed the swimming, shopping, walks, especially fish ponds. Delightful!

I don't like writing a negative review, but this place DOES NOT merit a 9/10 in any way. The only redeeming thing about the unit was a comfortable mattress, but the rest was so shabby that sleeping there wasn't pleasant in general. We love Palm Villas location and feel, and have stayed in several units here. This one is extremely tired and poorly managed. Cockroaches are a regular sighting. Worn and dingy surfaces everywhere, dirty in the corners, nothing fresh. Dirty and uncomfortable (zero padding, sitting on a wood plank essentially) upholstery on the lanai. On arrival we found (and had to pursue) there were no tissues, no beach towels, no body wash, no laundry soap, lightbulbs were out, the outlets in the master bath were inoperable. Manager was communicative but unbelievably pushed back on providing tissues, as "the owner does not offer tissues as an amenity". Unbelievable. They sent someone next day to rectify a couple of these items, and we let the rest go since we had friends in another much more comfortable unit and could hang there. This unit needs a DEEP cleaning, sanitizing, fresh paint throughout, stock the kitchen (with more than two wine glasses), replace seating pads, add a knife sharpener to deal with beat up knives, and an attentive pest service to deal with cockroaches. (We accept cockroaches are a thing in the tropics, but they shouldn't be seen on the kitchen counters each time we walk in there.) Very disappointing.

The place was very clean and had all the amenities that we expected. It's a great location to be able to just walk down to the ocean.

Love this area. Close to the Mauna Lani and the private beach club. Pool jacuzzi right out the door. All the extras included including sunscreen! Mahalo.

Great location, excellent accommodations and good customer service from the property management group. The only negative was a guy acting as “the police” for the resort. As others have said, he was rude to guests and others, including being rude to my two daughters. He was harassing a young couple with kids as he thought the kids were too noisy…they were not. But aside him, this place is great. Shops, the beach with snorkeling all within walking distance. We would come back again.

This was a perfect, stress-free, FUN vacation for us starting with the booking process all the way thru our flight back home. The condo was inviting, spacious, clean, well-stocked and secluded in a secure, lush, gated community. Within walking distance was a historic site complete with lava tubes and fish ponds; keep walking and you reach The Beach Club with a calm cove perfect for snorkeling. We walked, cycled and drove to amazing restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening "nightcaps" on our private patio overlooking beautiful grounds. This was our home away from home in Paradise. We highly recommend!!

We had an excellent time staying in this condo. It's a gated, smallish complex in the Mauna Lani resort, within walking distance to the beach through a historic park to the fishponds and beach. The grounds were lush and generally quiet. Key card access to the semi-private beach was a plus.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this clean and well furnished condo. All the keys, remote controls, information, and passes are well organized. Plenty of spices are provided to make food prep in the home great. The beds are very comfortable. I would love to know the manufacturer and model of the mattress in the master bedroom? One of the best condos I’ve rented. Mahalo for the wonderful stay in your home!

This was a wonderful place for our family of five (kids 3-9). The house is pleasant, clean, and well-stocked. Noise proofing was excellent- we sometimes heard quiet sounds of people walking upstairs, but that was it. There was enough space to avoid being on top of each other. The pool is lovely and good for kids. We loved the access to the beach club and beach and appreciated the pool noodles, buckets, and digging tools. Jim and Helen were gracious and responsive.

Apartment is clean, everything works (mostly). The complex is gated, pool is nice, less than 150 ft from the apartment. During our stay we didn't have to compete with lots of other people for access to the pool. It is sort of a "quiet" pool and a nasty old lady (permanent resident I assume) grumbled that my kids were being too loud (they were not) - they were splashing in the water and speaking in normal tone of voice.Garage was a nice perk and the owners were nice enough to let us charge our rental plug-in hybrid during our stay. The beach was a quick walk away, through historic fish ponds. Great for snorkeling.Cons: the kitchen needs a bit of attention (backsplash peeling off above the sink), availability of snorkeling gear would have been a plus (only one set and it was broken), garage keypad battery was dead, owners request guests wash the towels but there was no laundry detergent in the apartmentOverall we would stay there again.

Nice place to book for a family of 6. Pool is neat and clean. Walking to the beach is convenient. I’d get a wagon next time. Management is quick in their response to questions/issues we had. Note for next renter the garage will not fit large capacity SUVs. Will book again on next Hawaii adventures.

We had a wonderful stay. The unit was perfect for our family of four. Our sons each had their own room and really enjoyed the pool every day for hours, along with the beach amenities. The garage had snorkel gear, beach chairs, noodles and boogie boards (among other things!) which we used daily. The location of the grocery store was super convenient and we grabbed sushi for lunch on the beach a few times and cooked dinner on the grill at the house a few times too. Took walks through the lava tubes and fish ponds to the nearby Mauna Lani Hotel which is beautiful. The host was extremely helpful in anticipating our needs and responded immediately with any questions. Highly recommend this property!

We had an incredible stay at this vacation rental! The property was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. One of the best parts was having the pool just steps away—perfect for a morning swim or unwinding in the afternoon. Even better, we had access to the nearby beach club, which made beach days super easy and added that extra touch of luxury to our trip.The location couldn’t be better—peaceful, convenient, and with all the resort-style perks you’d hope for. Communication with the host was seamless, and they were so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We truly felt like we were in paradise.Highly recommend this spot—we’re already dreaming of coming back!

Check in process was easy. Was given wrong WiFi info but was able to figure that out. Coffee pot didn't work first morning we were there but site coordinator ran over a new one within a few hours of our notification. No complaints here. Condo was nice- I didn't realize when booking it's an upper level. I thought it was a ground floor but that was my fault. Community pool is beautiful and warm- wasn't busy while we were there. Hot tub is hot! Good thing:). Check out was pretty simple- just had to start dishwasher, load of towels and take out trash. I wish they offered a late checkout that was the only bummer and I checked after I had booked it.Overall great stay and great communication.

Property was great. Well stocked kitchen and the condo was in a great location. Could use two more beach chairs. One was broken and the condo had only three, and we had a party of 4. Otherwise, would rent again.

My wife and I have stayed in Palm Villas many times though not in this particular unit. Palm Villas is a great location: a short drive to the beach and even shorter drive to the supermarket and shops. It is possible to walk to the beach, as suggested in the listing, but it’s a long walk especially with beach paraphernalia. This unit feels like it may be new to the rental market. The appliances are new, and work well, but there were some glitches to be ironed out. For example, the washer/dryer barely fits in the allotted space. The beds are comfortable enough but not the luxe mattresses we’ve enjoyed in other units. I imagine these rough edges will be fixed before too long. By the time you stay here, it will probably be perfect!

Our family had a great stay at this condo at the Palm Villas at Mauna Lani. The condo was great and very well stocked for kitchen supplies, pots, and pans. The bedrooms were comfortable. The location was perfect with an easy walk to the beach, hotel, and access to the wonderful Beach Club. We absolutely recommend!

Beautiful unit overlooking lava fields! Amazing sunsets while relaxing on the lanai! The unit is very clean and well equipped with everything you would need for eating in. Beds were very comfortable. David provided suggestions for restaurants on the island as well as places to visit. Most we knew about having been to the big island many times, but there were some new places we visited!

Absolutely wonderful condo, with amenities not found elsewhere, great workout area and pool. Definitely not for families with active kids who might be a bit loud. Kitchen well stocked and lanai perfect. The check in instructions are way too confusing and could be made much more simple (BTW happy to help!).We will be back.

Quiet, only a mile walk to the beach (or you can drive right to it with the club pass), and plenty of room. Second level living gave great breezes through the condo so AC wasn't necessary. Perfect. Little picky things are that the BBQ from the downstairs rental is stinky, the loft blinds rattle in the breeze and the blinds in the spare bedroom downstairs won't stay up. Read up on how to operate a Schlage doorknob lock before you go. Instructions are provided just look for the link.

We were so grateful that we found this property! Such quick and easy walks to nice beaches, or easy short drives to other nice beaches! I was surprised to see how much they had stored in their garage that I don't believe was on the listing, but truly made our vacation even better! Especially the wagon for our little one! Thank you, and we would 100% book again and next time we'll remember to leave the pool key!!!

The condo was beautiful and spacious. The community with nice and quiet. It seemed to be mostly older folks. This unit is upstairs, so we had to be extra careful to be quiet enough, which is tough with 3 young kids. We had a lovely stay!

Liked the view; liked the fact that spices were left in the VERY well equipped kitchen. Host was extremely fast in responding to messages - a propane tank was delivered when the existing one was empty (we stayed for a month and really enjoyed having the grill on the lanai). Easy and scenic walk to the beach club and being able to park close to the beach was a real plus also. We used the boogie boards up at the Mauna Kea beach (excellent for boogie boarding). The wine bar attached to the grocery store at Queens Marketplace at Waikoloa great place for sushi and reasonably priced. Hamburgers and fries at beach club restaurant are the BEST!

Suite, property and location all great. Only complaint we had (and speaking to others they felt the same) is the staff member coming out to quiet people by the pool in the middle of the day(kids having fun in pool). Signs posted about quiet hours between 8am and 9pm but grounds people start working with lawnmowers outside bedroom window before 7am.

Very clean. Supplies needed were all there. Instructions were clear on how to use all appliances, etc. The only suggestion I have is to leave on the outside light so that arriving at night we could see the lock and where it was.

The condo was well located in the Mauni Lani resort area. However, there was confusing information sent to us about where to park, the entry stairs were dirty, the lanai was very dark with surrounding foliage, the sofas were too low for us to sit on them (and get up) comfortably, the air conditioning controls were difficult to reach with a piece of decorative furniture in front of them. The master bedroom closet was small and the shower in the master bath had a pebble floor that was VERY uncomfortable to stand on - and no rubber mat to help. There was no tea kettle for our morning tea and we don’t drink coffee in the morning.The unit offered a number of amenities like dishwashing and clothes washing pods, etc. It would probably be fine for a lot of people, just not a good fit for us.

Our stay at Jefferson's home in Mauna Lani was amazing. The unit was clean and spacious, well stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds. The separated master and secondary bedroom "wings" was perfect for two couples to have their own quarters. The lanai was comfortable and a great place to relax after a day of exploring.We will look into staying here again on a Kona visit. The value was great. Thanks!

We loved staying at this property! The pool on site is gorgeous, though be warned it is very cold, which can be a deterrent to use. There is also a hottub by the pool, heated after 12pm, which frequently was in use by others as well given the cold pool. The walk to the beach club is wonderful, as was the wagon, toys, etc. The complex itself is not particularly kid friendly; we heard some other families receive feedback at the pool to quiet down. I would also be aware that this is an upstairs unit if traveling with toddlers or young kids as we learned during our stay that their footsteps generate more noise than that of adults. That being said, the beach was phenomenal and full of other friendly families! The restaurant at the beach is also fabulous. We had lunch there many days. We loved the washer/dryer, and the unit housed us perfectly. The grill and outdoor lanai setup worked well for the rare nights we cooked, and the nearby shopping center grocery (long walk or short drive) was excellent for quick meals. Unit was clean, showers were great, beds were comfortable, and the sunset view was gorgeous. Highly recommend!
