Nice town home. Mauna Lani is great. House well equipped in kitchen and beach gear. Few items need repair - barbecue and barbecue exhaust - eliminate old carpet (ok for rental)- but don't replace

Thank you Luba and Randy for a wonderful stay in your home! Everything we could ask for and more! The kitchen is fully stocked and large! Made for many wonderful meals- and the grocery store so close was a huge plus! Close to the beach which we drove to each day thanks to the passes that come with the home. Large bedrooms and family room, peaceful backyard and the home is in a perfect location. We loved every thing about this home and hope to be back next year!

We were in Hawaii for a friend's wedding over the holiday. I decided to extend the vacation for an extra week in Kona. What a beautiful home! Three large bedrooms, each en suite. The kitchen was a chef's dream. Fully stocked with every pot, pan and gadget needed to cook anything desired. The hot tub and pool were so convenient (be sure to start warming the hot tub 30 minutes before use). The beach was an easy drive. Lots of snorkeling gear and beach toys/chairs for you to use. No need to buy or bring your own. No regrets at all. We hope to return soon with friends.

Beautiful home, perfect for our group of 7 (2 couples and 3 children). Very clean and comfortable, we all loved our time in this property, especially in the evenings when we opened the sliding wall, sat on the back patio and grilled dinner. House was well stocked with everything necessary for cooking, including spices, cooking oils and even pantry staples. Tons of gear for beach excursions, all the snorkeling gear, chairs, umbrellas and beach toys for all ages you could possibly need. Fantastic, quiet neighborhood made it easy to relax and enjoy our vacation. Perfect location just a short walk to groceries, shops and restaurants and just a few minutes drive to the beach. Communication with the owner and the property manager was quick and easy, and they were both more than accommodating to our requests. We loved this property, and will gladly book again for our next trip to this area!

Everything was wonderful during our stay over Christmas. The home is spacious, comfortable, peaceful and conveniently located. We had four adults and two littles - plenty of space and privacy. The ensuites were perfect and the kitchen was well-appointed. We took advantage of the Mauna Lani Beach Club (perfect for swimming and Sunning with a bar/restaurant on site. We dined at the Fairmont Orchid Browns Beach House, the Mauna Lani Resort HaLani and Surf Shack, the Mauna Kea Manta, and other restaurants in Waikoloa Village. We used two of the bikes ( had to add air to tires, third adult bike had a broken kickstand and very flat tire). The pool in the Villages community was nice but we enjoyed the beach more. One of the showers had definitely not been cleaned - the management offered to send someone to clean it but we didn’t have them do that. Management was super-responsive and communicated regularly with us throughout our stay. Highly recommend this property on the Big Island.

The home is very well appointed and maintained. The home has everything for a comfortable hawaiian stay. Bikes, beach chairs, umbrella, outdoor grill and kitchen, big living area, and every kitchen appliance. Owners made sure to provide instruction manual for everything in the house and nearby suggestions. The two full bathrooms downstairs are brand new and look beautiful. Bed are perfect for a restful night's sleep. We look guard to staying in this home next time we visit the Big Island.

We can’t say enough good things about this property. There were two couples each with a small child. There was lots of space and well equipped for children. Have an ensuite for each family was ideal. Location was close to all amenities and very nice to have access to the beach club. We hope to stay here again next year.

Beautiful inside and out! Very well stocked! Loved every room had an en-suite bathroom! The pool and outside area was perfect for the kids. Great location, close to the store, entrance and shops. We rented golf carts to go to the beach, better parking for them. Lissette was a charm to work with! Hope to return soon!

Thank you for letting us stay in your amazing place. It's a fantastic layout, quality bedding, and well stocked. Each room has its own high-end entertainment system and en-suite w/shower. Lots of privacy between the rooms too. Having direct access to Mauni Lani Beach Club was the highlight of our trip. I’d argue that it’s better than the beaches you get with nearby Auberge or Fairmont, which are both five star hotels.

Previously stayed in other units in Villages at Mauna Lani and found that this unit was the best equiped in the Kitchen. The only two issues: the barbeque was adequate but difficult to control the burner temperature and there were some minor issues with cleaning. All in all, we had a great stay for a month and would rent here again.

Beautiful home for our family stay. Well maintained, great kitchen for actually preparing meals, garage for cars, 4 bathrooms, generous sized rooms everywhere. Easy walk to the shops and restaurant. Need a car for the beach. Would definitely stay here again. Don't count on the boogie boards, but there were chairs and mats there and some snorkel gear.

Enjoyed staying at the property very much. It was comfortable and clean. The kitchen was very well appointed without being cluttered. The bedrooms were large and the bathroom amenities were generous. Had some trouble (likely my fault) checking in but Steve and Maryanne were very patient and helpful. I should have printed the emails sent in advance because I couldn't seem to access them when I needed them. Beautiful grounds and nice location. Recommended!

My family stayed here in Nov 2023. We’ve stayed in several similar locations but this one was perfect for our family. The proximity to the pool/gym and grocery store (30 seconds down a trail and 1 min walk to store) was the clincher for our group. It felt like we were in a quiet area removed, yet were really so close! We had one problem day 1 as the coffee machine was missing a lid, but with one quick email a brand new machine was delivered within a hour or so. (Later we found the coffee lid bottom back of dishwasher, so just a fluke it was missing) Excellent and quick customer service. House was super well stocked with boogie boards, 5 great beach chairs, beach toys etc… Kitchen had everything we needed and the lanai was a great place to grill and eat. My only complaint would be the lack of good quality kitchen knives, but what was there did manage the job. I wouldn’t hesitant to recommend this listing and know that my family would love to return!

This large, immaculate townhouse is the ideal location for a relaxing vacation on the Big Island. The townhouse is so well equipped - great kitchen appliances and utensils, and also beach toys, chairs, and boogie boards. The beds are very comfortable and the whole place has a welcoming feeling. The location is perfect - walk or short golf cart ride to the shops, the beaches, or the 2 resorts within the Mauna Lani property. Robert was very responsive as a host and check in was a breeze. We can't wait to come back for another visit soon!

We spent a week at the property and all the pics were exactly as shown. Beautiful place and very relaxing. Wonderfully outfitted with everything you could need. Walking distance to morning latte and grocery store as well as other shopping. Great places for more exercise/ walking in the area and access to a nice private beach. Private and quiet; and Lisa could not have been more of a pleasure to deal with. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.

2 couples and 2 kids (15 & 11) stayed for the week of November 9-16. Communication with the owner/management group was seamless and responded to promptly. The house was clean and well maintained. The kitchen was great, and all of the pots, pans, plates & amenities were awesome. The location was great as there was a grocery store, coffee shop, juice bar, shops and an amazing restaurant, Tommy Bahamas, only steps away. The unit also included a pass to the beach club, which also had a great restaurant. When we were there, the beach club was being renovated, however that did not stop us from enjoying the beach. There were beach accessories in the garage that made beach time a lot of fun. We would definitely stay again. No complaints at all.

Large home that could accommodate 3 families including 4 young children with 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Living, kitchen, dining and lanai areas were very spacious for everyone. Walking distance to common pool area where kids enjoyed playing in mostly shallow water. Very quiet area and complex immediately next to grocery. Had access to private beach less than a couple miles away with great snorkeling for beginners.

This home is a great choice for two or three couples or a family. The two master suites with en-suite bathrooms allow two couples to have equal quality and size spaces to retreat. I love to cook, the kitchen was well equipped with everything you require to prepare gourmet meals. All rooms were spacious which provided comfort for all. The patio was used daily to enjoy early morning coffee and meals. And the sunsets were amazing. The beach access included with the stay was a huge plus, which was a short distance. We had a fabulous time over our three week visit to the Big Island, it was one of the best units we’ve rented over the years in all of Hawaii.

This is an absolute stunner! The condo is beautiful, in a great location, and set up perfectly. We’ve stayed in Kona several times, and this is by far the best. The pool was very nice and quiet and the access to the beach club was perfect. The kitchen has everything you need. I enjoyed cooking on the outside grill too! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Our family, 5 adults &1 child stayed at the property in Oct '23-loved everything about it! Communication with owner was great before and during our visit. The neighborhood was beautiful, clean and quiet. Home was spacious, very clean, beautifully decorated, and provided so many little things which made our stay comfortable. Highly recommend reading the Welcome Booklet when you arrive as it will answer many of your questions and let you know of important rules for the neighborhood. They also provide great information for the area. We had planned to eat in often and decided to use Instacart to order groceries ahead of time from Costco & Target. They were delivered a few hours after we arrived, which was so nice as we had a long day of travel. Recommend preparing your order a few days ahead so you have time to make changes. Also, you'll want to check with the owner about which gate code to give the delivery person. Nearby there is a very nice Foodland grocery store which had the extra things that we needed later. The private beach at the Mauna Lani Beach Club was excellent! We traveled around the island and our family thought the private beach was the best of them all. It was quiet, clean, plenty of shade and chairs with calm waters which was great for our preschooler. But the best part was the snorkeling! We saw more sea life there than on any other beach!! Overall, we can highly recommend this property. If we every make it back to the Big Island, we'll be using it again!
