House was perfect for my family of 6. Kitchen well stocked with dishes, pans, utensils, etc. Back lani was shaded in the afternoon and peaceful to sit on all day. Great area to stay. Quiet hours are 9pm to 8am which was nice. Resort beach was some what private, restaurant on the beach has amazing fish tacos. We walked everywhere: to the beach, coffee, shopping, etc. Would stay here again.

Overall, a great stay. Very spacious, great location. The condo was a bit noisy- it was a downstairs unit and the fans were loud, but we still greatly enjoyed ourselves and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great place to spend the holiday season. The condo was clean and was one of the best equipped I've ever stayed in. The location is great being centrally located within the resort and the view for the New Years fireworks couldn't be beat from the lanai. Awesome place to stay

Host was great, Bryon actually met us at the gate. The toaster was very poor and needed to held down during the toasting process.Rugs are a trip hazard, and the master bed frame was apart when we arrived at the head of the bed. This is our 3rd time staying in the Mani Lani condos and the second time in the Palm Villas. This unit needs upgrades and care. Mahalo!

We enjoyed our stay and the unit was furnished very nicely. Great location. Only negative is having a 1st floor unit and then you hear group walking around above you more than you want (5:30am-11pm). Would rent in same location again but would want a 2nd floor unit.

We loved this unit. Everything was perfect. Trudy our contact was so helpful and answered every question so fast. We loved the unit and Trudy. We loved the layout, how everything we needed was there for cooking and easy to find. It was so clean. The pool area is fabulous and we love walking to the ancient fish ponds. Thank you for making our three generation vacation so awesome.

Beautiful home, very comfortable, clean and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for an enjoyable family vacation. The pool area is beautiful and having access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club was an exceptional treat. I highly recommend this property.

The apartment was in a great secluded location around luxury resorts and was not crowded like in Kona or Hilo. It was close to lots of kid-friendly beaches and we loved having easy access to the Mauna Lani beach club beach. The property was decent but a little dated ... Would be excellent with a few upgrades to modernize and having an actual door to the bathroom would be a plus. My husband got locked in the master bedroom our first night and luckily we called the on site coordinator who came within half an hour to replace the door lock. It was frustrating after a long flight but they addressed quickly. There are little quirks with this place like creaky doors when the AC runs but not a deal breaker. We enjoyed the pool but the hot tub jets broke the second day we were there and it had been under repair before we arrived. Well appointed overall with basic necessities in the kitchen, beach towels, beach gear. The agency does provide a limited amount of zip lock bags, trash bags and detergent which was nice. We didn't need more and it was perfect for our family of 4. The beds were not super comfy as topped with foam padding and even with the AC, felt a bit hot. The place felt clean (except for the dustry lamp and shades in the smaller double twin room). Again location was the highlight here, grocery store down the street, restaurants close by and overall a good stay for the price. We were glad we found this place, the amenities were an added bonus.

We loved our stay at the Palm Villas with my husband and two of our kids. The location was perfect for what we were looking for with the beach club and restaurant for quiet days, the pool for when we'd had enough of sand and a reasonable drive everywhere on the island we wanted to go for adventure. The kitchen was super well equipped. We stay in VRBOs all the time and this was for sure one of the best. The garage was full of beach gear. Plenty of grocery stores nearby and wonderful restaurants at the Auberge if you get your reservations in.It was quiet, if there were neighbors upstairs we didn't hear them. The owners were responsive and helpful. If we go back to the big island it would be our first choice for sure.

We had a great stay at the Palm Villas Condo. Staying at the condo gives you access to the Beach Club which is the best beach in the area especially if you have kids. The location of the condo is excellent as you can walk from the condo through the Kalahuipua'a Historic Park to the Mauna Lani fish ponds and just a short walk further to the Beach Club. The condo is very nice and it was well stocked. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. The garage was very convenient to park in and the beach chairs, umbrella, and sand toys were really useful. We will stay here again next time we're on the Big Island.

We had a lovely stay in this condo. Parking in the garage was easy. We really appreciated the beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, etc. that were provided. Towels were plentiful and there were cleaning supplies provided. The location is excellent and access to the Mauna Lani beach club was such a great perk. We would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful property, exactly like described, excellent location in a gated community. Great support from the management company: we had an issue and they came to our villa on Sunday morning! The outside garden is beautiful, directly on a golf course. Disappointment was the pool closed for maintenance work. The cleaning could have been better, but we quickly fixed this. The two single beds in one of the bedrooms need some maintenance. We also had some issues with air conditioning, but the host helped to sort this out. Check-in instructions were excellent and clear, like the check-out process. The garage includes a variety of beach tools (large and small coolers, 4 chairs, beach umbrella, masks, fins, etc.). Multiple beautiful beaches in the range of max 15 mls, as well as nice shopping centers. Great experience overall!

We enjoyed staying at this property. It was nice and quiet and we were right across the street from a warm pool and hot tub surrounded by lush greenery.The villa was plenty big for 5 of us. We barbecued a few nights and the kitchen was well stocked and we would have our morning coffee or evening cocktail out on the lanai.There are shops nearby with a grocery store and we would get a morning coffee and some poke at the store.The management company, Lanai Realty was very easy to work with and communicated efficiently and quickly with us. Everything was exactly as they said it would be and made the stay flawlessly easy. Would definitely recommend staying here!

We enjoyed our 6-night stay in this modern, clean and quiet condo. It was my first time in the Mauna Lani resort area, and it was beautiful. I loved walking through the lava fields to the fishponds, to the private beach club. The condo itself was spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. The grounds were lush and peaceful. We appreciated having all the beach gear available for use. The parking was convenient. The pool was never crowded and so serene. I did miss having an ocean or vast landscape view, but the gardens are beautiful. I had a bit of an issue with my friend being too cold in the secondary bedroom (the vent blows directly on to the bed), and the AC condenser was a bit noisy in that location. But the owners were accommodating in taking the security features off the thermostat so we could turn off the AC at night. My only slight issue was that the pebble floor in the master bath shower was uncomfortable on my feet... a shower mat would have been nice. Also there were a lot of check-out instructions which is a bit annoying when you’re on vacation. But it was overall a wonderful, all-too-short stay. I would definitely return.

This was our first trip to the big island, and I would say we really lucked out on this place! The place was very clean and comfortable and we felt very safe. The location, access to private beach club, onsite pool, neighborhood, etc., were a perfect introduction to the island. There was a complete selection of beach items - from folding chairs and beach umbrella, to ice chests and snorkeling gear. We ventured out every day to other beaches and locations, but we felt the private beach club with cabana chairs, wonderful snorkeling, easy parking and access, made our "home" beach our favorite of all! The hosts were very accommodating and responsive and we would highly recommend this place to everyone!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was quiet, clean, and spacious enough for five people. Whenever we had an issue-like running out of toilet paper or trouble with the TV-the response was very quick and helpful, which we really appreciated.Access to the Beach Club by car was convenient, and we also enjoyed having lunch at the restaurant there.One small thing to note is that the kitchen knives were not very sharp, and although there were plenty of towels, they still had a bid of an odor even after washing.Overall, though, we had a great stay and would definitely like to return in the future.

We had a wonderful stay here (2 adults and 4 kids). The condo was perfect for our family, very clean and well stocked. We appreciate the extra beach equipment (chairs, toys, boogie boards). We loved the beach club- the beach was clear, calm and perfect for snorkeling and swimming. The pool was only steps from the back yard. Foodland was nearby and very convenient.

The stay here was nice. The location is perfect. You are close to the FoodLand and the small shop area. The grounds, golf course and pool are beautiful. The beds are a little low to the ground and okay, not very luxurious. We loved having two bathrooms. It was nice to have one bathroom right in the master bedroom and one for the kids to share. The dishwasher could definitely be replaced along with a few of the beach accessories! We had trouble getting in upon arrival and having what we needed right off the bat, but they eventually helped us and we could get in. I would stay here again. Hoping that we have a better entry experience, but feel like it's not worth giving a bad review. The WiFI was very spotty for us. The best beaches are right up the street like Hapuna and MaunaKea! About a 8-10 minute drive, so that was nice. The lava tube walk down to the Mauna Lani Beach is really nice and pretty. It took about 15 min to get down there. That beach is small and has a little bit courser sand than Hapuna. I wouldn't really say it was a beach that we'd spend all day at, but it was a good morning walk, or an evening stroll to go to. It was a good home away from home! And a nice place all in all.
