Spent a week here with our two college-aged children. Convenient to both the beaches and the mountains, with plenty of peace and quiet, we love this location. View from the master suite balcony toward the volcanoes is an amazing place for the morning coffee. As a family that likes to cook, we also appreciated the well-equipped kitchen.

We stayed at this condo with 3 couples (6 people in total).
Plus: Each bedroom has a huge own bathroom. During our stays, there was a college tournament held in Mauna Lani Golf course and we enjoyed their play from our terrace. It was so much fun. We also enjoyed BBQ at the terrace.
Minus: None in particular.
We definitely want to go back there again.
Had a very wonderful stay. Thanks.

Tried to find someone at property
To speak to
Door was not closed
It actually was broken and I called to have it repaired later in our stay
Even tried my code to see if I was able to check Iin
Walked in asking
“anyone here”
Then a maintenance person came to door
And said you can’t check in
Misunderstanding
Property manager was rude when I spoke to him
We stayed here knowing there was a hot tub
We love them
Use one every day!
No one notified us
Would not stay at this property again
Very unprofessional manager
He belittled me
And I am old
Rented many many property’s
Saying I should not have entered the property
I think, why did my code work then ?

We arrived to a clean, well stocked house- from cookware to serving ware and storage for leftovers. Great places to bike (provided) and walk to- the ponds, petroglyphs, mauna Lani beach and club, neighboring hotels for a drink. 2 hour drive to volcano national park, 15 minutes to hapuna beach, 15 minutes to grocery store, 45 minutes to Kona brewery. Beautiful lanai frequented by goats. Very spacious for 6 adults and 2 kids. Bonus- each bedroom had its own large bathroom! Garage sucked with beach gear - wagon, coolers, umbrellas, chairs, snorkel gear, sand toys, boogie boards. 6 or 7 Beach towels were available for use. We did not need to contact the owners while there. Would highly recommend!

Centrally located in gorgeous Mauna Lani. House had everything - snorkel gear, bikes, boogie boards, coolers; kitchen had all the pots, pans, utensils, food storage, spices, you name it. Very hard to find places that sleep nine people. I will book again!

The home was gorgeous as was the pool and spa. The kitchen was very well equipped. Loved the walls of windows that totally opened up the gathering area. The separate bungalows were thoroughly enjoyed and added privacy. We all highly recommend this Hawaii rental.

The only item we had an issue with was that the air conditioning was programmed not allowing temperature to be set below 72 degrees. Even with the fans on at night, it was not comfortable sleeping. 70 might have been a better temperature.

The rental exp was very easy. Great job of communicating by the owners/property managers. Only issue is it could have been cleaned better. We actually had to clean some areas when we got there. But other than that it was great and I would recommend. It slept 5 adults comfortably. We would come back!

This is a really nice property for a family gathering. We had 6 adults, 2 toddlers, and one infant and it was plenty of space. Only about 2 minute walk to the community pool which is a great place for kids. Beach club access was really awesome and the garage was stocked full of toys and beach things. Overall great stay and super nice house, the owners are super responsive too with any questions we had.
The only negative were that the downstairs bedroom does not have any blinds in the windows, so you are pretty much subject to sunrise and sunset for trying to sleep. This was difficult for the kids trying to take naps, but we still managed. Also there are 9 remotes on the coffee table which is excessive. Trying to get anything on the TV to work was super difficult. They really need to simplify this as we still were unable to get Netflix to load and had to just stream from our iPad instead. These were both minor issues and did not take away from our enjoyment of renting this property and I would fully recommend it for a larger family

Beautiful location. Got to see goats on the golf course every day. Nice quiet area. Good location for stores shopping getting around. Nice pool. Residence as described in ad, would only request a second beach card and second garage door opener. Appreciated quick response and getting table and chair replaced due to prior damage .

What a fantastic place! Do not hesitate to book. The property is exactly as shown, in fact, even better. It was the most well stocked vacation home I’ve ever used; you will not want for anything. All of the recreational toys in the garage were a lifesaver and were used everyday. Great location to the best beaches and shaved ice on the island. We snorkeled a lot and all agreed the best was at the private beach club.

If an option, i would have rated 4.75 stars. This is a great condo. Clean, spacious, plenty of dishes, pots, pans, comfortable beds, quality towels, etc. We had trouble with the fridge and a few other things and the management team was VERY responsive. The BUT... the flatware includes just 4 knives. A couple of the remotes had no batteries. The cutlery is dull. The place is beginning to show signs of wear. Edges of rugs are worn/torn, walls need paint, dining table has been broken and repaired poorly so it isn't flat, two of the dining chairs have broken lattice backings, living room furniture is beginning to sag. And yet, it is still a lovely location and very nice property, and I hope the owners put in the money necessary to make it truly 5 star again!

We will be back! Location is perfect, easy walk to the beach and ponds...lovely backyard view of the golf course. Kitchen is nicely equipped for those who enjoy creating meals at home. Toys in the garage were nice to have, snorkel gear was functional which was nice!!

We had the best time staying at the Island Melody Villa. The house was just as pictured with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. It was plenty of space for two families. We cooked almost every meal in the kitchen and had all of the right supplies to do so. The location is also great. The quick walk to the pool was a breeze with little kids as was the short drive to the beach club. Having that access was really the cherry on top. We also frequently walked over to the grocery store. We loved making the quick drive to the black sand beach and beach 69. We had such a wonderful trip and will definitley be back!

This was one of our favorite places we hav stayed in 6 different times to Mauna Lani area. The house was close enough to walk to The Shops, to the hotels and to the Bay Club. The pool for the properties was a hit for our 10 year old twins. We will definitely be back!

The community is beautiful and well maintained. The condo was perfectly designed and had great views from upstairs bedrooms and downstairs great room and dining room. Some problems with the cleaning of the exterior furniture, but on the whole, a very nice unit. The bicycles provided are inadequate for any adult who is interested in a decent workout, but rental bicycles are available in the two Waikoloa shopping centers.

We traveled with another couple and had a great time staying in Island Melody Villa. It is very spacious, clean, and well appointed. We loved the location and access to the Beach Club. Paradise in Hawaii was very responsive to inquiries during the booking process, and we especially appreciated them allowing us to check out late on our departure date since we had an evening flight. All in all, a great experience, and we most likely will stay here again in the future.

This place had everything.....nice to have enough TP, paper towels....most up to date washer/dryer....so much room...and loved the view!!! The only problem was that there wasn't any info on how to operate the TVs.....nada....4 TVs with 4 or 5 remotes for each but nada....they did send out a really great guy to try and help....we suggested that he just get one working....with some luck he did.....very frustrating to say the least.
Would rent it again but need to make sure all it working first. The most complete garage we had ever seen.....so many toys....beautiful, beautiful place.

I was ready to give this place five stars the second we walked in the door! My family used this rental for the last leg of our trip and it was perfect for us. There were 8 of us and with the additional futon bed in the upstairs loft area, everyone had their own space and there were more than enough bathrooms to ensure people weren't on top of each other. The kitchen was also perfect because we were able to make breakfasts and dinners to help cut down on costs to eat out. The condo is a close walk to the beach (and comes with everything you'd need for it), shops, a grocery store, etc. On top of that, they were so sweet and worked with us to give us an extra hour to check out on our final day (its amazing how hard it is to get 8 people up and moving).
We did a lot of driving to the other side of the island to see things and I still have zero regrets about this place and the location. I would highly recommend this place to ANYONE looking for a nice, clean, relaxing rental that truly has everything you would need.

We stayed at Island Melody for a week in mid-August, 2018. It was a family reunion and we had three couples and three kids. Each couple had their own bedroom and bath, the oldest kid went on the day bed, and the two younger ones (9 and 11) slept on the couches downstairs. It was a bit cozy but plenty of bedding, towels, etc. made it doable. More than 6 adults would be a bit much, though.
We ate in most of the time – stock up at the Costco in Kona! – and the excellent kitchen, outside BBQ, and large dining room were perfect and enabled us to save a ton of money. Jeff and Suzanne were fantastic at every turn, even going out of their way to purchase a bamboo steamer for the kitchen so my Chinese in-laws could make dumplings.
The amenities were excellent as well and we used pretty much everything on our beach excursions. The private beach access is fantastic for kids who have never been in the ocean, the bikes are handy for the local area, and of course there is always the pool if you don’t feel like driving. Plenty of shopping, golf, and large resort attractions are within minutes of the house, and the main road is right there for access to everything else.
Directions for getting to and accessing the house were clear and promptly provided and everything was clean and tidy when we arrived. We followed the directions when we left and received a thank you and our security deposit a few days later. If this is the kind of property that fits your agenda, you cannot do better than a stay at Island Melody.

We (family of 7) stayed at Island Melody Villa for 5 nights. We could not have been happier with the place. Not only did we have a great time at the house, but we appreciated everything bit of the place. The furnishings at the home was top notch - kitchen was very functional with pots, pans, blender, coffee maker, etc. I really liked the owners' touch of sending us a pre-arrival package on what to expect, which included the local things to do, tips to have a great time. The garage has a lot of stuff that the visitors can use - beach toys, snorkel gear, bikes.
Thanks Jeff and Suzanne for letting us into your home and having a great time
