We have stayed in a couple units in this same area and this has been our favorite so far. The unit was super clean and little things were thought of that made it easier for us to jump right in and enjoy our vacation. thanks for a great stay.

Very much enjoyed our stay and this property. Everything was exactly as shown in the pictures. A lovely 3 bedroom condo with a wonderful patio and view of the ocean. The unit was well furnished, very clean and very comfortable. We love staying in the Hapuna Beach area and will definitely return here....thank you so much for sharing your condo!

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.

Our family stayed here for a family wedding that was at the Westin Hapuna. We loved how close it was and that we had access to both of the resorts. The condo was very spacious and has all of the amenties we needed. Each of us had our own “space” with a large bedroom and bathroom. Michelle was extremely responsive and helpful with our questions. Highly recommend and we hope to be back!

Amazing unit that was had a well stocked kitchen and lots of beach gear to use. The unit is well maintained with an amazing view and location. Waiulaula is right adjacent to the Hapuna golf course in a very quiet, secluded neighborhood away from the hotel and touristy hustle and bustle. It is so peaceful to be away from the “city.”
It was well worth getting the Mauna Kea resort amenity pass to use the beaches and beach parking at the Westin and Mauna Kea hotels.
. Kohala Coast Properties management was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire stay from prior to check in through check out.
The location was great to access Waimea, Waikoloa area, Mauna Kea summit, Kawaihae harbor for fishing, and day trips to Kailua Kona area.

This property is wonderful and we would stay there again! Our group of 6 (3 couples, 2 generations) had plenty of space and felt that the unit was very clean and safe. The condo community is quiet-we did hear kids at the pool (not disruptive) but never heard others in the 3 other units in our building.
Michelle at Kohala Coast Properties was a joy to work with! She answered our questions quickly. When we arrived, a previous tenant had messed with the wifi so the credentials Michelle had for us didn't work. Michelle was on the job after 9pm that night, apologized for our trouble and got the cable company to help troubleshoot. Problem was solved quickly.
This property isn't close enough to the water to hear it nor is the beach walkable, 2 things I particularly wanted when choosing a place. I think that is very difficult to find on Hawaii unless you are in a hotel. We bought the beach club package to use the 2 closest hotel beaches which are absolutely stunning and each within a 5 minute drive. (Maybe they would have been bike able. We didn't rent bikes as we thought we might.) We never had parking issues with the package.
The kitchen is well equipped and the closet space is huge, including many hangers . One thing that would have been nice in retrospect was a list of staples provided, as we had shopped near the airport before checking in at the condo. ( I know that is a difficult inventory to keep current.) Same with a game list. We brought none and found only Uno and Scrabble there.
Community's pool/fitness complex was beautiful and a short walk away.
2 items I feel should be delineated more specifically- 1) We were surprised to find the thermostat was locked at a minimum of 74. All communication said that costs were very high and our help was requested in keeping costs as low as possible. Our 2 young men are very sensitive to heat; they did not sleep well. Had we understood the temperature to be non negotiable, we probably would have looked for another location where they would have been more comfortable. I think that this decision is completely up to the owners but we would have loved to have had the facts before we booked. We certainly turned the AC off as requested when out of the unit for an hour or more and that was no hardship-the cooling on return was fast!
2) The 3rd bedroom has a hide abed. Looking again at the photos we should have noticed the arms showing. But I believe this should be listed as a feature of the condo.

The property is placed within 10 min of Hapuna and Mauna Kea beaches, easy access to Wiakoloa Village the upper road and North Kohala. Rooms are large and comfortable. The common areas are comfortable and spacious. The view of the ocean is sumptuous. The only issue was the lack of beach chairs and umbrellas. It was not always easy or possible to rent chairs from the local beaches. The proximity makes up for this in droves. I would recommend without hesitation

Very comfortable with a nice view. Pool close by. Access to the 2 best beaches on the island. The only drag is you have to drive to beach no shuttles. I will definitely try and stay in this resort again.

The condo has a great view of the ocean and surrounding golf course. It is right next to the community pool. While it is a little over a mile from the beach and resort, we were happy with the location. The condo was fully equipped with all the vacation amenities: boogie boards, sand toys, beach towels, blender, coffee maker, TV system, and gas powered barbecue. We did not golf, but they provide complimentary golf balls too. There is plenty of room for six people and our kids enjoyed having their own space. Important tip for your stay: make sure you close the sliding doors when going in and out from the deck or the flies will join for dinner!

The staff was very nice except for the resident manager. He was very rude to my guests and told them we were not registered guests. They were drinking beer in bottles but he could have told them nicely to not drink their beers in bottles and could use plastic cups. His tone and manner was very rude. I requested an apology from him, but received none.

This unit was beautiful, clean and provided more than enough space for our family of four - although we loved being able to put each child in their own room. Everything was as described in the listing and photos, the management office was very friendly and helpful, and we would definitely recommend this unit to anyone who has children or wants the amenities of a kitchen and laundry, etc. My own feedback is that the towels all had that secret mildew smell that returns when they get wet - which seems to be a common problem at most rental properties (if your guests don’t dry their towels properly after use, they are ruined) - so not sure they are worth replacing? But that detail wouldn’t keep us from returning!

Second time that I have stayed at the Wai ‘Ula ‘Ula complex of condominiums. Best place ever! I love everything about Mauna Kea area. We were able to prepare many of our meals at our vacation home. The amenities of the Mauna Kea Resort are awesome and the beach is arguably one of the most beautiful in the world. Will return again and again.

Comment Text: Dear Dr Henig and family,
My wife, Paula, and I have just returned back home from our vacation to Hawaii. I wanted to thank you for making your condo available to us. It is beautifully decorated and furnished, and we found it comfortable and a pleasure to stay in. All the amenities available both in the unit and in the recreation facility, not to mention the two hotels, were fabulous. The welcome basket was a very nice touch and we found the rental services folks to be helpful when called upon.
All in all, your home helped to make our vacation wonderful and memorable. I will pass along your site to friends and I hope we can also come again, in the future. Our kids are jealous!

We just returned from an amazing stay at your home at the Mauna Kea resort. The house is larger than we thought - the pictures do not show the true size. And every appliance and fixture is top-notch - huge sub-zero fridge, Wolf appliances in kitchen (including Wolf outdoor barbecue....)
The FREE valet parking at both the Mauna Kea and the Hapuna Prince made access so easy. We had nicer rooms than our friends who paid much more than us by staying in the hotel.
And the community pool and rooms were so elegant - we did not have enough time to fully enjoy it all.....
I would go back any time.

5/08 - We loved this condo - from the time we opened the front door and looked through the beautifully decorated living room, across the lanai, past the golf course to the ocean views. The overall ambiance of the condo was great, with it's wonderful decor and very functional layout - the two master suites with spacious baths were a real plus. We loved the location, close enough to Kona to be able to easily go to the restaurants and amenities there, but far enough away that we could enjoy the laid back Hawaiian vacation. Being able to use the Mauna Kea amenities was a real plus - including the beach areas.. We really enjoyed having the Hapuna golf course so handy. It was easy working with the owners to arrange our visit. We travel a lot and this was a highlight in the places we've stayed - we would definitely return and have no hesitation in giving this a high recommendation.

6/2007 Dear Larry and Julie,
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your condo for a week this year and we are very much interested in returning. Everything was top notch from the room decor to the appliances, especially in the kitchen. The views were great. I especially enjoyed having access to the hotel amenities, the restaurants, and the pool. The condo, in my opinion, is located in a very special area of the big island next one of the best beaches in the world, Hapuna Beach.
