Beautiful home, spacious, and it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The back lanai is a great spot for breakfast. The location of the home within the community makes it peaceful and quiet.

Well appointed 3 BR with quiet location in Fairways Mauna Lani. We've stayed in this complex 8 times prior and this is cleanest, best equipped and most responsive and helpful owners. Great trip

Townhome was exceptional with newer furnishings and top of the line appliances. Very clean. Luxury experience. Garage included everything we needed for the beach. Property on whole was lovely with beautiful trees and flowers, walking paths, pool and spa. Location has easy walking or driving access to multiple beaches. Beach Club access was a huge difference maker with really good snorkeling in a cove good for the whole family - variety of reef fish, sea turtles, sea cucumbers, urchins, etc. Resort bars and restaurants served good drinks and food with relaxed outdoor atmosphere. Communication with host was great. Proactive check-in details, very thorough. Onsite property manager was helpful and available for our needs. Everyone was responsive and thoughtful. Huge mahalo to Jamie, Francine and Tannis for making our stay on the Big Island the best ever!

Our family stayed here for 6 nights and we were so satisfied with our stay! The townhouse is exactly as advertised: beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay. We really appreciated the coolers/ice packs/beach towels/snorkel gear that is stored in the garage. We made use of the propane grill for a couple of the nights. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook comfortably. The master bedroom mattress is supportive and very comfortable, as is the living room furniture. We would stay at this property again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and peaceful. Beautiful scenery with so much to do. Lots of beach equipment including snorkeling gear.
However, we were disappointed in the cleanliness of the place especially in the kitchen - dirty dishes, greasy pots & baking sheets in the cupboards. Coffee pot & toaster needed cleaning. Drink rings on glass tabletops. Lots of dust on ceiling fan upstairs and under master bed. Mold in master shower. The whole place needed a DEEP cleaning.

This is a well-planned and cared-for unit 20 minutes north of the Kona airport.The weather is consistently better there than any place we visited on the island - a pocket paradise. It is near world-famous beaches, has private beach access and boasts a quiet location in its resort.
The home itself is well laid out so a couple can spend their visit on the main floor, with additional bedrooms and bath on the second storey. The kitchen is exceptionally well provisioned, the living area comfortable and the shaded lanai a favorite place for morning coffee. We appreciated the spacious ensuite and particularly enjoyed the thoughtfully put-together walk-in closet. Originally we were concerned about parking outside the unit, but found many owners use their garages for golf carts and park in the nearby provided spaces quite happily - we did as well.
Maybe the best feature of all was the support and communication with our hosts, primarily Jamie and Tannis. In all the years we have relied on VRBO rentals, they have simply been the best. Thoughtful, informative, considerate, generous, responsive - they are models for the industry.
So to them, a heartfelt thank you for welcoming us as well as they did in their wonderful home!

Everything about this condo is fantastic! It has everything you need for a great stay on the island. It was the perfect space for our 5 adult (3 generations) family. Communication with owners was great with great tips for enjoying our stay. Thanks so much and I hope to stay again sometime!

This is our 2nd time staying at this property in the last 3 years.
Everything was great. The communication with Tannis and Jamie was easy and they were so quick at responding.
The house was clean and well stocked. Loved the welcome basket that they include. Its such a nice touch. The house comes with lots of beach chairs, snorkelling equipment ( which we could also tell was new) , boogie boards , picnic coolers etc. Everything you need to go to the private Mauna Lani Beach club. This house is a 10+.

The townhome was beautiful and comfortable for a family of four with two adult children. The location was close to the grocery store, restaurants and beautiful beaches. The hosts had prepared a binder of information about the condo and the area that was very helpful, as well as labels and notes throughout the home. They were also very responsive to any questions that we sent through the VRBO inbox. The lanai was great for coffee in the morning, relaxing in the evening and grilling. Loved the gated beach access, which included lounge chairs. Mostly drove to the beach access but also walkable when some of the group went earlier. Walking loop that included the grounds at the Mauna Lani and Fairmont was great. To sum it up - great townhome, great location and great hosts.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The inside was beautifully styled to match the tropical feeling on the island. The neighborhood and surrounding area were welcoming, fun, and exciting. Everything was clean and tidy. Our host also provided us with information and recommendations on where to go during our stay, many of which helped us a lot. For anybody planning to go to the Big Island with friends or family, this is the perfect place to stay. Highly recommended and we feel so lucky having the opportunity staying here.

This condo was perfect for our family … parents and adult children with mates. The hosts provided for everything imaginable from a perfect kitchen, to lovely bedrooms to beach gear. We were so comfortable and then some. Honestly, this was the best outfitted and decorated condo we have ever rented. Thank you Jaime for being so responsive to my questions during the stay. It’s all now a wonderful memory and much of it thanks to this great condo. 5+ stars!

This place was awesome!!!! The decor…. Such island vibes… the overstocked kitchen of condiments and every cooking item imaginable. The beach gear was so plentiful and even included a wagon. The lanai was beautiful so serene and calm overlooking a host of greenery. Beds were super comfortable. The location of this property was great. Convenience to so much. The gated community was a nice touch. The pool refreshing. The private beach that we were given access to was fabulous and the restaurant was delicious. The hosts were readily available for questions and concerns… I would stay here again!!!! Enjoyed every minute of this island paradise! Mahalo!!

The town home is gorgeous with lots of room for the entire family. Thought fully decorated. The home is wonderfully equipped with top quality appliances and cook wear. My gourmet wife was in her element in the kitchen, the out door grill / barbecue allowed us to enjoy the Lani while cooking lunch or supper. The owner has provided a large number of pool and ocean toys from pool noodles to snorkel gear, with beach chairs and coolers to take your lunch to the beach. The access to Mauna Lani beach club
was also a huge benefit, great swimming and snorkelling available any time you wish. All in all my wife and I agree possibly the best VRBO we have rented. Yes we will be renting the unit on our next trip to the Big Iskand

This villa is an excellent vacation home for a couple or a whole family! It is beautifully furnished in every room. We appreciated having the primary bedroom on the main floor.
The kitchen is the best set up we have experienced in the past 12 years of vacation rentals. Everything was well maintained and spotlessly clean.

We have stayed at a number of different condos in Hawaii and this unit is by far the best we have ever stayed at. The unit is very nicely furnished and was well supplied with everything the vacationing public needs from toiletries, towels, condiments, lawn chairs and boogies boards.

This spacious home is stunning and is beautifully appointed with taseful decor. It had everything we could possibly need for our stay. The cupboards and laundry room were well stocked and the beds were comfy. We enjoyed all the things provided for our beach excursions. The only disappointments were a few things that were under repair like the jetted tub and the shade in one of the upstairs bedrooms. The microwave over the stove was also under repair, but one was available on the counter top. Overall, it was a great stay.

Our group had a remarkable time at this home. We were two families who vacation together. We were celebrating anniversaries and a high school graduation. The place was perfect! Property is beautiful. We never turned the TV on. We spent mornings on the lanai and had several dinners there as well. The beach club was awesome - get the coconut/lime vodka blend drink! We snorkeling there 3 times (many reef fish and turtles). Enjoyed so much on the Big Island! Robin was great to work with. We had forgotten the beach lanyard in our car and she was overly accommodating and met us in Kona to get as we were at Kona Brewing before our departure. We will be back!

The condo was exactly as described with all the amenities needed. Very well stocked. Super clean and extremely nice. Organized with lots of great features like televisions in each room and bluetooth speakers. The equipment was good and up to par. The outside area and grill is terrific. A couple items were under repair but they still had a microwave. The jets in the bathtub did not work. Some of the items seemed a little substandard but they worked OK. Overall the size and space of the unit was awesome. Would consider returning as it really meet our needs and was fantastic. Very cute and safe gated community with a nice 4 foot deep warm pool and hot tub.

Condo is well supplied and is convenient to everything we wanted to do. Appreciated the privacy of the lanai and listening to birds while sipping coffee.

Beautifully appointed, clean and sunny condo. Equipped with everything you could possibly need or want. Enjoyed morning coffee on the cozy patio listening to the birds and watching the golfers. The location is ideal. Easy walking to the beach, the Fairmont and Mauna Lani hotels and nearby grocery store and restaurants. I have already booked for next year!

The best vrbo we have ever stayed at. Our daughter was getting married at the fairmont and it’s just 2 minutes away. Our host/managers didn’t miss a thing on amenities. I wish my own home was this well thought out. Kitchen had it all. The unit was very spacious and so well decorated. It was quiet and serene to relax in the outside lanai overlooking the golf course. We couldn’t have been more pleased with this beautiful and comfortable home. It was amazing and we will be ba back…or maybe move in ;)

This was our fifth visit to the Big Island, but our first stay at Mauna Lani, and we will absolutely return.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Puako condo. The location is perfectly convenient, just a short drive or walk from two beautiful resorts, a quaint shopping plaza and beaches.
The condo itself is fully stocked with all the things a family could need to have a pleasant stay, including all the beach things you can think of - chairs, sand toys, snorkel gear, a wagon! As a family with a baby we also appreciated that they had a few essentials like a pack and play and high chair.
One thing that I don’t think is talked about enough in the reviews is the access to the private Beach Club. There are so many amazing beaches on the Kohala Coast to explore, but we definitely took full advantage of the Beach Club, which is a added bonus to staying at this condo.

This is a beautiful, well designed, luxurious and very well equipped townhouse. The location is considerably more private than other units in the complex. We really appreciated the access to the beach club, and visited most late afternoons for a swim, snorkel, and sunset cocktails (either at the restaurant or on the beach, BYOB style). The Kohala cost is well located to access many areas of the island for adventures, and proximal to major resorts for dining and shops. We really enjoyed the extra touches such as the beach equipment, movies, and personal guidebook. Excellent communication from the property manager. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay here. The home itself was ideal—very nice floor plan for variety of needs. Everything was up to date and clean and nice outdoor space for enjoying a book or a meal. Kitchen was well stocked. Parking very easy and nearby. The grocery store just down the road is surprisingly good, all kinds of specialty items. We loved having access to the pool and the Mauna Lani beach club. The beach club was perfect for our little one just learning to swim—very calm waters. Beautiful snorkeling. Being a quick stroll to the Fairways pool was also great. We enjoyed a couple meals at Mauna Lani resort too, which has undergone a major renovation and is spectacular. Highly recommend a stay here and we hope to be back.
