We really enoyed our stay! We used the beach club, fitness center, and various amenities throughout the home. The home was set up nicely and was very comfortable and well apportioned. We had a wonderful stay!

Amazing place in a great location. Condo is very well outfitted and has a lot of things to fully enjoy the beach. Place is worth it for the access to Mauna Lani Beach Club alone.

We were so very grateful we chose this condo. It’s close to the ‘best’ beaches and far enough away from Kona. The grounds are beautiful and the pool /hot tub is very nice. Vacasa manages this property and they were communicative and prompt to respond.

Pool was awesome, 3 bedroom condo. Clean and quite. Only down side was the A/C did not cool down the bedrooms enough.

Condo was great for my family of 5. Everything you could possibly need was included. Location was great. Pool was wonderful and steps from the front door. Beautiful walking path close by that leads to beach access. The private beach was excellent and a short drive away. Nice having a garage to use. Bikes were fun. Unfortunately a lot of the snorkeling gear was broken but that was no fault to the owners, just the last guests I’m sure. We would stay again for sure if we make it back to the Big Island in the future.

Myself, husband, and 2 teens enjoyed our stay. The teens were happy to each have their own sleeping area. The kitchen was great for making breakfast each morning. It was well stocked with dishes, pots & pans, spices, etc. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub area after long days sightseeing, hiking, and at the beach. The quiet pool area is very relaxing. We did not go to the resort beach, there are a few other really nice beaches close by that we choose to go to so the beach chairs, umbrella, towels, and snorkeling equipment that were provided were a really nice option for us.

This was a perfect condo for our family for the week we were on the Big Island. We had access to an amazing private beach that was a 5 minute drive away with great snorkeling and was never overcrowded. There is a restaurant right off the beach where we had lunch a few times and had great food. There were beach towels provided that were nice quality - I am kind of picky and had brought my own but we used theirs! There is A LOT of beach gear too - snorkel gear, beach chairs, rafts, etc. I highly recommend walking to the beach at least once through the ponds. Beautiful views and is only about 20 minutes. We had planned a couple of longer days at the beach and drove on those days jus so we didn't have to walk after being hot and tired. We used the pool once - can't use speakers at either the pool or the beach at Mauna Lani - only headphones. The pool was very nice and just a very short walk from the condo. The view from the Lanai was amazing - having the market and shops near us were great. Can't say enough about it. We would recommend a stay here again!

Very good location with close proximity to beach and tennis clubs. The owners were conscientious to provide access to some water gear such as snorkels/masks, fins, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels etc. A couple of maintenance issues- garbage disposal didn’t work upon arrival but owner eventually messaged a fix for us to try which solved it. TV in main room and WiFi never really worked. Several light bulbs out in master bath. Overall a positive experience though.

We loved our stay at Richard's Mauna Lani condo. The condo is perfectly located - we were a beautiful 15 min walk to the beach, 15 min walk or 3 min drive to FoodLand for reasonably-priced groceries, and with easy access to Kona, Waimea, and Waikoloa. All the amenities you could think of were provided, including beach towels, beach gear, a fully stocked kitchen, and extra sheets and towels. We had a wonderful week and can't wait to come back.

Overall, we had a great stay at this condo, and there are some issues that need attention. The location of the condo within Mauna Lani is excellent, right around the corner from the historic walking path to the beach. Within the lovely, intimate condo complex, this unit is in a nice, quiet location. The condo itself is beautifully decorated and well laid out, with a nice golf course view. Now the issues: the primary bedroom mattress needs replacing. The air conditioner is very loud in the middle bedroom, and my son ended up sleeping on the couch because of this. The cleaning of the linens between guests needs improvement. The bedsheets were clean, but the outer bed linens and kitchen towels were pretty grungy. The freezer door is difficult to close all the way, so just be aware to double check that, and the kitchen could use a tool update, but it is acceptable. Finally, the owners require that the guest was and dry the towels, as well as start the bedsheet laundry before check out, and that is a tall order for a 7am flight. All this said, we would love to stay in this condo again if all or most of these issues are addressed, and despite these issues, still enjoyed our stay very much!

Location was great, and the property as advertised. The quiet community pool was welcome. The lanai view of the lava field and tubes was a welcome change of pace. Gated access to the beach club allowed easy use of the beach and snorkeling. The Napua restaurant at the site had some good food.
We would stay in this property again.

Needs upkeep/work. No lights in garage, plugs not screwed into wall, shower door needed work, freezer didn’t work to make ice. Never dispensed ice because it needed a part that needed to be ordered. Freezer finally made ice on the 6th day of our 8 day stay. Mattresses needed to be replaced. Sink had huge crack. Grill needed propane and outside HOA was non responsive. HOA finally got propane and grill worked great. Great location, beach club associated with property is beautiful.
We rented another property managed by OutRigger in the same complex that was well maintained and everything worked properly.

The property was awesome and it was perfect for kids. The pool area was even better than we anticipated and was right across the street from the unit. The location can’t be beat. We would definitely stay here again. The garage is small and really can’t fit a Ford expedition, which is a common large car rental on the island, but using the common parking spots was not an issue. Smaller cars would fit without any problem. Only other thing to be aware of is that it is a bottom unit, so we could hear the group above us at times, but again the space was great and we preferred having access to the very nice grounds and grassy areas from the lanai.

We absolutely loved staying at Palm Villas E21! The condo was immaculately clean and welcoming. The beds were comfy with plenty of pillows. The kitchen had every tool/small appliance imaginable, plus coolers and freezer packs for the beach. We prepared several scrumptious meals and enjoyed dining on the lanai, with its beautiful view of the ocean and neighboring Kalahuipua`a Park.
We loved having access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club and the condo had beach toys, boogie boards, floaties, umbrellas and chairs. The pool and jacuzzi were perfect way to wind down at the end of the day. The property manager provided clear instructions, making check in super easy. Will definitely stay here again!

First off, the condo itself and the amenities are great and as advertised. If you do not have kids, this is a great place to stay. However, we were frustrated by the strict community rules that impacted our family's enjoyment of the community amenities. A week before check in, we were provided with a long list of community rules. This isn't uncommon, but knowing these rules beforehand might have influenced our decision to rent a condo in this community. The rules included "no loud or boisterous ball playing is permitted in common areas" and "Running, jumping, and horseplay are not permitted in the pool area. nor is yelling, screaming, orboisterous behavior." Anyone who has kids between the ages of, oh, 3 and 18 knows that these rules will be difficult for them to follow. They're on vacation; they want to be loud and boisterous. You might think, sure, everyone has restrictive rules to protect themselves from egregious violations. But in this case, they were strictly enforced. Another family in our travelling party was given a written warning when their kids dared to play (not even with a ball, mind you) in the common area behind their condo. Our children (5 and 8 years old) were yelled at by an adult for playing in the driveway in front of our condo. Again, if you don't have children, none of these rules should concern you. I only leave this review for families to take into consideration how this might affect their enjoyment of the amenities in this community.

Quiet second floor location. Comfortable bed and bedding. Covered lani and a garage were pluses. Pool was very convenient. Beach club access and restaurant as well as a scenic walking path were appreciated. Minor issues with garage code not working, leaking refrigerator and maybe upgrading the lani furniture with more comfortable seat cushions. Other that that, we loved the unit!

Sweet location with a sunset view across the park and fish ponds. Our kids found the walk to the beach through the park and the fish pond system more engaging than other "formal" parks and historic sites we visited on our trip. The early risers headed to Mauna Lani Beach Club after breakfast on the patio. The old teenager would then walk through the fish ponds in the late morning. Snorkelling in the bay was some of the best we had on our trip due to murk and big surf at other bigger beaches. Saw an eagle ray, turtles, eels, and many types and sizes of fish. Also did some fishing in the area and did well whipping from shore. Best part of the condo? QUIET complex, QUIET building, QUIET pool and hot tub area. It often felt like we were the only ones there. Great home base to explore the beachy, drier side of the island north of the Kona traffic. Highly recommend this rental unit for families (up to 6 as long as the kids can sleep 2 on a bed and 2 on the pullout hide-a-bed) or two couples travelling together. Super awesome!!

We’ve stayed in over half a dozen units at the Palm Villas. Our staycation began years ago. We enjoy how quiet the property is and how the pool is often left for our use. The convenient location to other amenities and restaurants is another plus.
This unit was set up wonderfully. No hassle getting in, using a front door code was not necessary. The use of the keys, pool fob, garage code and the Beach Club gate access card, were clearly displayed and made easy to use.
We were most impressed with how well appointed, classy and of a simplistic style this unit showed. All you need to be at home exists. We forgot our boombox but the Bluetooth speaker available to use, was more than ample. The unit is very clean and tidy, as was the garage.
Our next stay? We will most likely select this unit once more.
Working with Jane and Tiphany at Big Island Living, was a dream. They are super helpful and accommodating. They are prompt to respond and provide solutions with east. They are the best.
Couldn’t have had a great time without them.
Mahalo,

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!
