Fabulous house, amazing location, indescribable views. Just wow! Perfect for 3 couples and the best equipped gourmet kitchen of any place we’ve ever rented. Thanks so much for making your beautiful home available to us. We hate to leave!

In my opinion, the listing undersells the space. The condo is spacious and well outfitted with luxurious finishes. The resort is beautiful - both beaches were fantastic. We were able to get a round of golf in too! So grateful to have been able to have a fun family get together in paradise! Donna was also excellent. Can’t wait to come back!

This amazing property gave us a wonderful holiday. The location was perfect, and the 180 degree view of the ocean was a constant delight. We are a multi-generational group, and the facilities were perfect for the 6 of us. The decor and cleanliness of the entire property is of the highest quality. The house is arranged beautifully to allow lots of interaction and fun times, and yet large enough to insure space and quiet times for everyone. Access to the amenities package for the Mauna Kea and Hapuna resort areas was a huge advantage—you are just a scant few minutes from one of the most fabulous beaches in the world. It could not be more convenient. I also cannot say enough about the high quality of the property management. Donna Brucato was always responsive to the needs of our family and prompt with responses to any inquiries.
The younger members of our group, ages 3 and 11, are already asking when we are coming back. We are all looking forward to it.

Visited the Big Island in June 2023 and enjoyed our stay in this unit. The property was well maintained, very clean, well stocked with supplies, comfortable, and all appliances were in working order.The location in Waiulaula is a bit far from town centers such as Waikoloa or Kona however, we preferred the seclusion. The guest amenity/access to the Westin and Mauna Kea option is a must if you have kids or prefer to do more activities (golf, spa, pool, beach access, etc.)I would highly recommend this unit and Kohala Coast Property Management to friends and family.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. Large property for our family of 4. Good views. We did not eat much at the property, but it appeared well stocked. We did not use any of the recreation goods in the garage partially due to their small sizes. One constructive complaint would be that the window dressings are not sufficient, so when the sun comes up, it is daylight bright which makes it tough when acclimating to the 5-6 hour time differences. And, the AC is locked at 72 degrees which might have been ok IF the ceiling fan was not also locked on low and there are no area fans So, we were a little warm and woke up earlier than desired. Beds are also very firm if you are sensitive. We did do the Mauna Kea amenities package which is pretty expensive and may or may not be worth it depending on your usage. We definitely did not use the resorts amenities enough, but it was our first time to the Big Island, so we spent a lot of time outside the resorts seeing the rest of the island. But, we did play golf at both the Mauna Kea and Hapuna courses where we got a little discount. This was a good home base and we enjoyed our stay.

The place was fantastic. The en-suite bedrooms, closets and bathrooms are large and beautifully appointed. There were very nice amenities supplied such as shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. Very nice hangers in the closets and bathrobes. Cotton balls and Q-tips. The kitchen was very well stocked and supplied with spices, coffee pods, and all sorts of cooking equipment.
The great room area was beautiful, the lani area spacious and beautifully appointed. All the furnishings were extremely nice.
The property has a small pool and hot tub and the complex also has a pool. The views are incredible.
We signed up for the Mauna Kai club which my family enjoyed very much.
The place is very well set up for families or couples. It has beach chairs, beach towels and a huge array of beach toys.
Both the owner and the property manager were very responsive and helpful. They provided a book with information about the property, area activities and restaurants.
We could not have had a better experience.
Thank you for sharing your home with us.

This is a nice second floor unit. It is well furnished and comfortable. Nice sunset views. We have stayed at a first floor unit previously. These are really spacious, well appointed units. We make use of the resort pass for using the pool, beach access, gym and parking. Well worth it.

Large house in a gated community. Everything we needed was there except beach. Take the optional access to Mauna Kea that gives you parking and access to Mauna Kea and westin hotels and parking. They can’t limit public beach access but they can do the same thing while for instance limiting public parking to 40 spaces. Unless you have a membership that effectively limits public access. The family had an excellent experience with the house and the resort. Grahame Freeland

My family just returned from our 8 night stay in beautiful Hawaii. Our family of 6, including our 3 kids and my Mom, had the perfect amount of space. We loved the layout and the outdoor grill and patio. The beds are so comfortable I actually slept well on vacation, which is not easy for me! Erika was a dream to work with, so flexible, responsive and helpful. She gave me lots of great tips for enjoying the island with kids and is just a really kind person. We also had a great experience with her house manager who was also very responsive and helpful. We loved having access to the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, it is a 5 minute drive with parking included in the Amenity Package. It was very busy over Spring Break! We have been to the hotel many times over the years and it was the busiest we have ever seen it, but I guess everyone else was looking for sun like us! I highly recommend this beautiful place to call home while you visit the Big Island!

This is a hard review to write. We loved the location of this property--it is beautiful, on a golf course with views of the water. The access to the Hapuna and Mauna Kea resorts is a wonderful benefit--well worth the daily resort fee. This unit had newer appliances, and furnishings. But, it has a severe roach infestation. We encountered 100+ roaches our second day. The property manager told us they had flown in through an open screen door. (We didn't leave the screen open and roaches don't fly in from outside.) They brought bait for the roaches, and we saw roaches every day after that. It was terrible. Very sad to leave this review, but we would hate to have another person spend that much money for a roach infested unit.

We’ve stayed in the Wai’ula’ula community before and this house was wonderful! Well equipped, clean, and the ocean views are beautiful. Bedrooms were comfortable and quiet, and having our own pool and hot tub was such a bonus. It was also nice having smart tv’s for quieter evenings. Easy to get to and from the Mauna Kea, and purchasing the resort privileges was absolutely worth it!

This is a spectacular property. It exceeded every expectation and is exceptionally well-equipped. It is ideally located to reach every major Big Island site. We chose to forego the resort membership and we’re glad we did. We were on the move every day. Also, all the resorts allow limited parking and beach access on their properties, so you can enjoy a resort beach with an early start to your day. This home’s neighborhood also has a stunning pool and credible gym just a 5-minute walk away.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this villa (myself, husband and 11 year old daughter). It is exactly as described (and then some!) and so clean. The pool! The view! Excellent new sofa, clean carpets. Unfortunately my husband had to work much of the time but it is also a great place for remote work - appreciated the desk space in one of the masters and great wifi. We took advantage of the resort pass and so glad we did. We were at the beach at the Mauna Kea Resort almost every day and is a huge part of the reason we will book here again. Love the low key vibe there and their private beach area is the best.
Any issues (very minor) were quickly addressed by Donna - she responded to any questions we had almost immediately and the check in process was clear and simple. We would definitely stay in this unit again (and hope to next year!).

Our family stayed at Beautiful Ocean Villa where we opted into the resort program, and we couldn't have been more pleased. There was something for everyone. Between dinners on the lanai, resort and pool access, beach toys, and amazing views, every moment was well spent. The home is tastefully decorated and very spacious. We were provided with clear instructions regarding our stay and had many pleasant interactions with the management company. We would not only recommend it but we would definitely stay again. Thank you so much for such a nice experience.

We stayed with our 2 young kids and in-laws. House was perfect for our group. The two master bedrooms were nice for the two couples and the kids room was more than enough with two queen beds and en suite bathroom.
The kitchen is open and spacious. We enjoyed cooking and eating in most meals. Also the BBQ grill is top of the line and easy to use.
Of course the best part is the indoor-outdoor setup. The pool is not huge, but we actually prefers that as there are other larger pools on property you can utilize. Our small kids loved it and it was very safe.
Sunsets here are great. We also enjoyed watching the golfers play up to the green.
Donna was extremely prompt with anything we needed. There was never any stress in the entire booking, arrival, or departure process. She’s a true pro and was able to promptly answer any questions we had.
We will be staying at this property for years to come.
Thank you Donna!

This unit is fantastic, it’s spacious with wonderful views of the ocean. Everything you need is supplied in the unit. Would highly recommend this property for families and/or couples. Although it’s very expensive to pay the additional daily resort fee (especially for us Canadians!) for the use of Mauna Kea and Westin Hapuna, it is a must, and probably is for most guests. The owners should considering allowing guests to purchase the number of days they want instead of all or nothing. Donna was very helpful and responsive. Thank you!

EVERYTHING about this was SPECTACULAR! EVERYTHING!
The condo was well appointed, clean, the kitchen had everything and then some, the garage had bikes and beach items. We spent every single meal on the lanai - it was just delightful. We picked up fresh tuna and grilled it several nights on the grill on the lanai. We were over the moon with our stay. The little pool and exercise room were frequented when we did not go to the resort. Highly recommend paying for resort amenities for the week. Everyone we encountered was absolutely delightul. Where we stayed was so quiet. Loved seeing the mountain goats each day- and the sunsets were breathtaking. Just absolute paradise and we plan to return. We will absolutely return. Property managers were extremely responsive prior to our trip. We did not need to contact them for anything during our stay.
Hawaii 2022 was full of incredible memories with families from South Carolina and Melbourne, Australia. LOVE THIS PLACE! Thank you!

House was very poorly maintained and operated. The service rep kept lying to us and was not responsive at all. Specifically, all of three showers were not working or leaking, which made lots of noise and moldy smell. Water pressure was very poor and even one of their maintenance staff closed the wrong valve so we did not have any water coming out of the shower for two days!
We originally booked another unit but the manager wanted us to move the unit so that they could fill the reservation back to back. I stayed with my five month old baby, and the new unit they moved us had construction on the lower unit. The construction going on started at 8AM in the morning every day and went on all day. They renovated the whole unit so drilling happened all day, which makes so much noise and dust. We were not able to sit on the balcony because of the noise, smell, and dust. This is not a condition anyone could bear, not alone the baby. My baby suffered from noise and moldy smell during the night and dust and drilling noise during the day. Just... terrible...
There were cockroaches in the unit. I found one in the living room and several in the 2nd bathroom. If anyone wants to throw their money on this terrible property to ruin their vacation, this house may be perfect.

Long time guests of the Mauna Kea, but have never rented a home on the property. Was very pleased with the ease of booking, the overall condition of the home, it's location and its amenities.

These items were not significant enough to deter from the overall wonderful experience.

This house and booking were managed really well. This is the nicest VRBO we've ever stayed in. It's a beautiful home with two master bedrooms. Very well-stocked. We cooked most every meal and were able to find everything we needed in the kitchen. On some days, the weather was perfect and we opened up the sliding doors to the view of the ocean and the volcano. At night we gazed at the stars from the hot tub. We had a great time and loved this house. This was a really special time for our family. If I had to name some drawbacks, they would have nothing to do with the house itself. It would be that you truly cannot get anywhere without a car from this location and Ubers are not easily available this far north.

The view stands out as the most wonderful part of our stay. Beautiful view of the water, golf course and goats frolicking in the long grasses.

The home is magnificent on all levels. Great location, layout and appointments. Spectacular ocean view. Conducive for family conversations, laughter and lasting memories. Simply beautiful. Equally impressive, and in my opinion important, are the hosts. Karen and Steve are anxious to please, responsive to our questions and concerns and abundantly kind. Too, their on island management team shares like qualities. The home, the process, the hosts and the on island management team are the epitome of “Aloha Spirit .” We are anxious to return.

The house was everything that was advertised. The 3 bedrooms were larger than we expected and the closet space and bathrooms were exceptionally large and spacious. The living area was wonderful for entertaining and with the sliding doors moved into the walls the large outside patio/deck brought the tropics inside. We used the Complex pool and area along with the beach and pool at Hapuna. Both were very nice. When we come back to the Big Island we feel there is no better place to stay than this condo.

We’ve been vacationing on the Big Island for twenty years. This was our second home rental and we will be coming back. It’s a 4 star resort. Jaw dropping sunsets EVERY day, a kitchen that easily accommodated 7 adults, two well-furnished master bedrooms, and just about everything you need to bootstrap your vacation. I recommend the $150/day access to the Westin, but the on site pool is great too. Barbara and her on site team made check-in easy and quickly resolved the small issues we found. Again, a definite “yes” for returning.

We had a wonderful time with our 10 year old at this well appointed and beautiful home. Only recommendation is to provide a map in advance so it is easier to find at night as the directions were sparse. Otherwise we think it is a gem of a place and highly recommend to anyone who wants a private and quiet place with beautiful views of the mountains and sea close to the beach! Thank you so much for sharing your home! Aloha nui loa.

The bedrooms are huge and there are private bathrooms for everyone which ensures everyone gets some privacy and alone time. Common areas are roomy and comfortable as are the beds. Beautiful sunsets every night with gas tiki torches to light for ambience after night fall. Manager checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, which we did since the owners seemed to have thought of everything you could need for the kitchen, outside and for trips to the beach. All in all I would recommend for families or adults to share.

This property was perfect for our group of 7, including 3 kids/teens. First, the place was extremely clean and exactly as described.

I can’t emphasize how perfect this house is for a relaxing Hawaii vacation. We had two kids who spent all day playing in the pool, my mom who enjoyed the junior master suite, and of course my wife and myself who loved being able to keep an eye on the kids while relaxing to beautiful views and quiet solitude. The accommodations are luxurious. Everything you need and more is already in the house. Quick drive to beaches, stores, and other sites. Property manager was very responsive - we had an issue with the spa heater and the repair technician was onsite within minutes. amazing. This is THE place you’re looking for - I promise.

This is the third stay we've had in a Waiulaula Villa. They've all been lovely. They all have a similar layout, the big differences being the decor and the location. This one was decorated well. The only complaints I have would be the chairs by the pool were wooden, so not super comfortable, and the blankets on the beds were very thin and mattresses were very firm. Minor complaints and didn't impact our stay, but thought worth mentioning. Donna was great, and the home was beautiful!

Beautiful and very well appointed villa. The resorts are beautiful but they do require a drive - not within walking distance. Agent very accommodating.

This is our 6th stay at Mauna Kea and this was our favorite Wai Ula Ula condo. It’s in a perfect location and very well appointed. Don’t hesitate to rent this condo! Donna was so easy to work with and our check in was a breeze!

What a very accommodating host! Mauna Lea erupted in the early morning hours on the day of my 50th birthday trip,. Janet issued us a full refund when I explained that we weren’t comfortable moving forward with our trip as planned. Leading up to the trip she was very communicative and easy to get a hold of. We will certainly look this property up for our next trip to Hawaii

Amazing views in a very special location. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our over three weeks here. We would highly recommend staying at this unit. The owner, Barbara, is super sweet and helpful as is the property manager, Muffet. They go above and beyond.
