This is the second time we've stayed at this property, and we enjoyed it just as much! Very comfortable and spacious, every detail thought of, easy stroll to the pool/gym, incredible views from the balcony - it's a perfect place from which a family can explore and enjoy the Big Island.

We had four adults and one very active toddler and this spot was just perfect. The views were amazing, the house nicely outfitted for conking and the onsite pool and workout room made it easy to enjoy a break during naptime! Lots of grassy areas for our grandson to run around. Patricia was very responsive and we hope to come back!

Perfect house. Everything worked as you’d hope. Easy and upscale in every way. Access to Mauna Kea and Hapuna resorts was well worth it for us for the relatively quiet beach access.

Hawaii never fails to offer unique experiences, and this location was perfect for our family's needs. It provided ample space for our large family, featuring a beautifully spacious kitchen and living room where we could come together. The outdoor lanai showcased the stunning beauty of the ocean and mountains. The pool and spa were an added bonus, providing entertainment for all ages, and especially delighting the little one. This location truly offered a special place for our family to reflect and connect with each other and the surrounding beauty.Thank you, Hawaii, for welcoming us with open arms and sharing your breathtaking beauty and vibrant culture. Your stunning landscapes, warm hospitality, and unique experiences have left a lasting impression on our hearts. We are grateful for the opportunity to reflect, connect, and create cherished memories with our loved ones. Mahalo for the unforgettable journey!

We are repeat visitors at Michelle's villa, and it never disappoints! We have stayed at other Wai Ula Ula villas over the years, and we keep wanting to come back to Michelle's specifically! She and her house managers are quick communicators and make the whole process from booking, through the vacation, to the inevitable sad departure super easy! The house is beautifully decorated, very clean, and well-stocked. The set up is fabulous for our family. We love the beautiful surroundings, and we always enjoy the high end amenities of this spectacular villa and the Mauna Kea resort. We will definitely be back! Thank you Michelle!!

We’ve stayed in this development before, it’s our go to. This was our first time in this particular home and it was great! Beautiful pool and well stocked with everything we needed to feel at home. Furniture was nice and beds were comfortable. Plenty of toiletries available in bathrooms, and chairs and umbrella for the beach. We would definitely come back!

My family and I (three kids ages 19, 16, and 11) stayed here for 8 nights from 12/24/24 - 1/1/25. First, I’ll talk about the owner. Outstanding communicator since booked reservation. Very detailed directions, suggestions, information. Also, appreciate how she handled issue in condo w water heater the day we arrived (had new water heater installed by day after Christmas so while it was a minor inconvenience, she handled it gracefully and also gave us a gift card to the Mauna Kea for the inconvenience). In terms of the condo, perfect for our family…lots of space, outstanding views, upgrades throughout, and in a quiet neighborhood. The condo is within the grounds of the Mauna Kea resort and we purchased the amenity package at 180 per day so had access to beach/pool/gym etc at both the Mauna Kea hotel and the Westin Hapuna. My only criticism (and it’s more of an awareness) is that you will need to drive to the Mauna Kea and Westin each day to use the beach/pool. While it was a small hassle, we got used to it quickly and it only took about 5 mins. There is a pool and gym right by the condo as well. One other thing I’ll mention is that food on Big Island is ridiculously expensive but that’s not related to the condo just pointing it out in general. Having the condo helps w keeping food costs down by using local grocery stores and the great kitchen.Would definitely go back and stay here because of the unit itself and the great communication from the owner

Our family of 8 enjoyed staying in this beautiful villa during our recent December trip. Both the host & property manager were easy to communicate with & addressed any issues or concerns immediately. The home is comfortable & well-stocked, in a quiet neighborhood setting. We would stay here again without hesitation & recommend this property to others. The Christmas tree in the living area was a thoughtful detail for the season.

This is a favorite home of ours. The location is impeccable. It is close to world-class beaches and golfing. The pool and spa are a nice diversion for the family while meals are being prepared. The kitchen is well-equipped and literally had everything I needed to prepare a full Thanksgiving meal. We will be back.

My husband and I spent 8 wonderful days with our 3 young adult sons here. The condo was perfect for the 5 of us. The views were great, we spent a lot of the time on the balcony watching the sky, sunset, golfers and the goats. The kitchen was totally stocked with everything we needed to cook. The grill was great. We bought the resort pass for the week and totally enjoyed spending the days on the beach and by the pool.

Property is amazing with lots of space for both sleeping and entertaining. The pool and outside space is great, and the management company was very easy to deal with. Like others mentioned, there is some noise from the road nearby but that didn't bother us.
The location is a little far north of the downtown Kona/Kailua area, but easy access via the highway. Highly recommend!

The house is amazing! So beautiful inside and the patio was so wonderful to sit during the morning and have coffee with the amazing view. The house was well stocked. We went golfing and used the clubs in the garage which was such a great experience. The communication with both the owner and property manager was great. Thank you for everything. We had such a wonderful experience!

From the beginning the property owner/manager were great to work with...the kitchen was fully equipped and a pleasure from which to prepare meals...the home was beautifully and artfully decorated. The rooms provided a relaxing retreat...The pool and surrounds were fabulous and so much fun for the whole family...to be honest more stars are needed.

Wonderful home nestled in the hillside. Excellent pool-side sunset view. Loved that the house didn't face the golf course. Appreciated abundance of towels, decently appointed kitchen and comfy furniture. Bedrooms also offered excellent privacy. Fabulous communication from host. Location meant a fair amount of driving for activities and food, but we know this going in and didn't mind. Made a great basecamp for all of our outings. Would definitely stay here again.

Home is beautiful, perfectly described and exceeded expectations. Our 2 families, + 84 yr old mom stayed here for 6 amazing nights! The home was enjoyed by the whole family, from cartwheels on the plush grass, the sunrise views on short walks, to star gazing almost every night, to the home having everything you could possibly need, easy to find and plenty of it! Communication with Michelle and the local manager was always without delay. This trip was to celebrate 3 birthdays in our family and it was super special!. 🌺🌸

Our stay at this house was nearly flawless. It is kept up beautifully and the kitchen has anything you could possibly need. We enjoyed the pool in the backyard which is so nice if you don't want to be in a hotel pool. The bedrooms are quite spacious as are the bathrooms. They provided laundry detergent and a great washer/dryer set up. There were plenty of extra towels in the linen closet if needed as well as plenty of toilet paper, not just a "starter" amount and the quality was very good. The master bedroom has a desk and printer which can be used if you need it. There was even paper for the printer. I give this house a 10 rating with two suggestions. One - put clocks in the bedrooms on the nightstand Two - there is no full length mirror and for short people you cannot see much of yourself when dressing. Minor details, just suggestions. Thank you for opening up your beautiful home.
