Beautiful and spacious property. We traveled with our two daughters and their husbands. This 3 bedroom property was perfect for us, plus we chose it because it was in a central location to go north or south for our adventures. Very nice and comfortable and quiet! We would stay here again.

We had a really wonderful time at Steve and Maryann’s place. Our friends commented that the property is nicer than the photos on the listing. The house came fully stocked with everything you could need for vacation — beach gear (eg snorkels, noodles, boards, beach chairs), full kitchen ware, ample linens and towels, etc. We also had a great time at the beach club and saw several turtles while snorkeling. Steve and Maryann were quick to respond when we asked them questions and helpfully put together a number of guides for exploring the island and resort. All in all, A.

We love the location as well as the large lanai with a perfect exposure to have shade most of the day but still a view of the sunsets.

We had an amazing time at this property. The house was beyond our expectations. Definitely a 10/10. Would give more if I could . Each room was decorated beautifully. Lots of space . Each bedroom has its own ensuite which is fantastic and so convenient. All the beds were soooooo comfortable. The layout of the kitchen, living room and dining room made for great interactions with all our guests. Lots of seating in the living room. The kitchen was well stocked. The lanai was great - it had a nice lounge sofa which got a lot of use. Great outdoor dining table and BBQ. We have rented several different properties in Mauna Lani and Waikoloa and this hands down was our FAVORITE. I have been coming to the Big Island for 10 years . It was great having the use of the garage and having dedicated parking was amazing. You could get home late and not have to worry about finding a parking space. Lots of chairs, snorkel equipment, beach umbrellas , cooler bags and chairs to use at the private beach club. Maryanne and Steve were so great to communicate with . They answered every question I had before and during our stay so quickly. They were so easy to deal with . I think they might have gotten tired of me telling them how much I loved their property. My husband who usually doesn't comment on the properties I rent for us - actually kept saying how much he loved this property. I would rent again without hesitation. Great property and fantastic hosts.

Nice location near Foodland, golf course views and central to Mauna Lea Beach Club. Home is comfortable and well appointed for a two week stay.

The house was perfect for our family of 6. Ourselves and our two married sons and their wives. Plenty of room, every supply you would need on a beach holiday. The indoor space and outdoor space were lovely. The pool and hot tub were great after a day at the beach. Would definitely go back! Communication was quick and helpful. Would have been great to have 2 more beach chairs as there were 6 of us, but we made do! It was an amazing family trip!

The condo was very well equipped and very clean.If you have children just know it is 1/2 mile from the pool. During busy times it is sometimes hard to find a chair at the pool during sunset. The food at the poolside was supberb. I would definitely stay there again.

Lissette is terrific. I’d be hard pressed to rent a home that she didn’t manage. This was our fourth year with her, at different houses. This homes layout was great. Although the village is larger, it felt quite private once you were indoors or out on the lanai. The only real issue was the appliances, including the bbq. They have seen much better days and should all be replaced. The wine fridge is broken and the seal on the fridge is broken. The washer/dryer are loud enough to wake the neighborhood and the dryer takes forever to dry. There must have been a fire in the bbq because it is in horrific condition, although usable. Looks like a volcano erupted in it The cooktop needs to be set at the highest setting to cook and then things get a bit overdone. Lower settings barely get warm. The non-stick pans are not non-stick. We cook quite a bit during our stay. That’s why we rent a home. We would love to stay there again if all the appliances are replaced. Had a pleasant visit.

I can’t say enough good things. Beautiful landscape, well planned home, lovely furnishings and more kitchen equipment than our group of six needed. Everything was clean and in good working order. The owners communicated easily. We were all very pleased.

Our group of 6 adults had plenty of room to spread out in this 3 bedroom space. Kitchen was fully stocked. Plenty of beach equipment. Carpet showing its age and the grill could use a good cleaning, but otherwise everything was clean. We enjoyed using the beach club and fitness center and enjoyed walks and runs around the Mauna Lani area. Only 30 min from the airport so easy to get to after a long day of travel. Highly recommend.

We have been vacationing on the Big Island over the past 25 years. This property, by far, exceeds all expectations. Extremely clean and well stocked with every amenity along with the thoughtful interior decorating and well equipped kitchen . Our hosts John and Kerre have pride of ownership and have taken all measures to ensure their guests have everything they need. Their on site property manager, Kathi, was very responsive and available. We will certainly be a repeat customer. Thank You.

We came over with our adult children and their spouse / partner and left with a newly engaged daughter. The property is well represented on-line. Every bedroom has their own bathroom, the beds are comfortable and the twin beds are “doubles” with plenty of room. The house is well stocked with pots and pans, appliances and lots of spices and condiments. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had no issues or reasons to contact the manager. I’d highly recommend this property.

The property was beautiful, well-equipped, airy and comfortable. We loved being a short walk to the pool/ fitness center and a short bike ride to the shops, which included the grocery store, coffee shop, juice shop and a couple of restaurants. One highlight was access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club. A beautiful sandy beach with great snorkeling and a beach path along the shore through ancient fishponds and tide oools and other beaches. The restaurant at the beach club served good food in a lovely setting. Our location was a short ride to Waikoloa for Sunset at the Lava Lava Beach Club and morning helicopter ride as well as the Mauna Kea Luau. An hour from kona for scuba, snorkel and night swim with the mantas. Overall everyone enjoyed having their space, the host was very friendly and responsive, the lanai was a lovely place to drink coffee and watch hummingbirds. We loved it!

This is our 7th trip to Hawaii and we always stay using the VRBO at Mauna Lani Golf Resort. We are never disappointed. Everything is always amazing.

We had an amazing time at Seabreeze. We've stayed in the Villages before in similar units so are familiar with the area. The unit had everything we needed for the pool, beach, and other activities, including for our 1 year old daughter. The property managers were very responsive and gave us all the important information well ahead of time. Would definitely recommend staying here, an easy place to make home for the week.

Love the house. The layout is great. Spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and the recreational toys are awesome. I want to come back with my kids and grandkids. We made good use of the the tennis and fitness club membership, playing pickleball and using the fitness room and the owners beach. The management company was responsive and had the aloha spirit.

7 Adults and 2 kids stayed here for the week of Thanksgiving. We all fit comfortably and had a wonderful time. The kitchen and family room was the perfect size for such a large group. We cooked a complete thanksgiving meal here with great success. The pool was a bit cold and the hot tub needed to be warmed up daily but they were also nice. The beach access was amazing, one of the best beaches for kids and also snorkeling and boogie boarding. The fitness center and community pool was a .2 mil walk down the road and very nice as well. The house provided bikes, however the tires were flat and the pump provided did not fit so we were unable to use them. We did use the boogie board and the water shoes and sand toys. This was truly a magnificent holiday and would highly recommend staying here.
