We know our Guests look forward to an exceptional experience from the moment you start planning your Big Island vacation. We've incorporated all our vacationing experiences from Hawaii and around the world, to ensure you have an exceptional stay!

We love friends & families!

Big Island is such a wonderful place to spend time with your friends, family, children, and grandchildren. Vacations create such wonderful memories; we hope this trip will be one of your fondest family memories and that you'll return year after year.

Mauna Kea Dream Villa is a large 3-bedroom home that is exquisitely furnished with 3 Primary Suites each with their own luxurious bath. This home is perfect for families or three couples looking to share a home while having space, privacy and near equal size rooms and baths.

The first primary suite has a King bed. It has a large ensuite bath with gorgeous high-end cabinets, and frameless glass showers and an outdoor shower and its own entrance to the lanai.
The second primary suite can be configured as a King or two TwinXL beds. It has a dedicated master bathroom with walk in shower.
The third bedroom features two full size beds that can sleep 4 and has a large primary bath with soaker tub and its own entrance to the lanai.

The airy open concept main room includes kitchen, dining area, great room, and large covered lanai with grill. You can dine indoors or outdoors under a covered lanai while watching the sunset.

The large lanai pocket doors (complete with screens) disappear along two walls into the wall for the complete blend of indoor and outdoor living. Enjoy the amazing private pool and waterfall spa.

County Law requires alarms on all ground-level sliding doors that lead to pool area, in order to prevent doors from being left open indefinitely.

The lanai features comfy chairs and couches for reading, socializing and simply enjoying a refreshing drink while watching the sun set into the Pacific Ocean each evening.

The living room features a UltraHD 4K 65" TV.

Mauna Kea Dream Villa is only a couple of minutes' walk to the Wai'ula'ula gated community recreation center and pool. This recreation center boasts an infinity pool that is to die for, and a kids pool for those with little ones. Lay on loungers in the water, enjoy the hot tub spa or cuddle up with your kids on one of the big orbital day beds. The recreation center also has a fitness center with stunning views of the pools and expansive Hawaii scenery.

As a Guest in this home, you have the option of registering for the Mauna Kea Club Amenity program for $180 / day, per group (not per person) providing you with the opportunity to enjoy exclusive benefits at both the Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach Hotels. (Advance registration through Paradise In Hawaii and the Hotel required).

The benefits include charging privileges at both hotels, use of the hotel beaches and pools, towel usage, lounge chairs, umbrellas, reduced golf rates, tennis (court fees apply), use of two fitness centers, and guaranteed parking at each hotel.

Almost every guest takes this option as this is a prime reason guests want to stay in the luxurious Mauna Kea Resort. Mauna Kea Beach, possibly the nicest beach in all Hawaii, has limited public spots that fill before 8am most mornings so the ability to come and go to this beach and enjoy the amenities of two hotels makes this a must have for most guests.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, a new job, retirement, or simply celebrating the sunshine, the home, and the Mauna Kea Resort are sure to create a great experience.

Beyond building an elegant, yet comfortable home, we know it's often the small surprises and conveniences that make all the difference.

Examples include:

• High-end luxury mattresses in all bedrooms for your comfort and enjoyment
• Luxurious high-end bedding for all beds
• Luxurious towels
• Spa shampoos, soaps, and lotions
• A fully equipped kitchen for all your cooking, baking and BBQ needs
• High-end blender for making great smoothies and other tropical drinks
• Large selection of vinegars, oils, and spices
• Starter pack of Kona coffee & collection of teas
• Popcorn

The home also has 2 sets of golf clubs for guest use (Complimentary)
Taylormade Stealth clubs and PING G30 clubs

For your day at the Beach:

We love building really big sand castles! Kohala sand is exceptional for this and we have the tools for kids and adults alike. For your day at the beach, you'll find:

• Comfortable beach chairs, beach mats, umbrellas
• Sand toys and sandcastle making equipment
• Large collection of snorkel gear in multiple sizes so you can share the wonders of the ocean
• Boogie boards to enjoy playing in the waves
• Life jackets and swim belts for the younger ones
• Large wheeled cooler and Tupperware containers for your beach picnic

Enjoy free use of our collection of bikes (adult and kids with helmets and locks) allowing you to explore the Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach resorts.

For those with children:

Having traveled with our kids when they were young we know how difficult it is to lug all the baby equipment. Our goal is to make your life easier so we have equipped our vacation home with:

• Pack 'n Play
• High chair
• Baby monitors
• Bed safety rails

A short drive away are six of the most spectacular beaches in Hawaii including Black Sand Beach, Private Beach 69, and of course two of the best beaches in Hawaii right on the resort; Hapuna beach and the breathtaking Mauna Kea beach.

The Kohala Coast is a golfer's paradise with seven challenging courses all within seven miles of the villa.

Within a 10 minute drive are three high-end shopping complexes, Queens Shops at Waikoloa, Kings Shops and the Shops at Mauna Lani where you can find a supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants, clothing and accessory stores, art, and free weekly entertainment in the evenings.

Stayed 4/9-4/14. There are several misleading items in the listing. This is not an indoor/outdoor living space as the photos suggest. If you leave the sliding doors open for more than 5 seconds a very loud alarm sounds until you close the doors. It is awful. The mgmt claims it is a law for homes with pools, but we have rented a home in Kona and this was not the case. The listing states there is a hot tub. It is not heated upon arrival. It is up to the guest to heat it, which was not communicated. It would drain of all water as it “spilled” over into the pool. Each day it was full and cold in the a.m., then we would heat it and return after our day at the beach to find only about a foot of water in it. It would not fill all evening. We would wake to it being full and cold again. This was the cycle every day. Totally useless. A few other annoyances; 1st 24 hours we had no hot water, the tv in the main living space does not connect to WiFi, so no streaming of shows or music is possible on it. Also, the house is a duplex, which was not stated in listing. Lastly, there is no need to pay the extra daily fee for use of the Mauna Kea/Westin resorts. The beaches are public access (though parking may be a challenge) and anyone can order drinks/food from the resort beach bars. No wonder they ask you to commit to the cost of the resort access prior to arrival, so you don’t see how unnecessary it is. All grievances were told to mgmt during our stay. Worst vrbo experience we have had.

This was a beautiful property with an amazing kitchen…well equipped and top of the line appliances both indoor and out. Very spacious home with nice separation of bedrooms for privacy. The only down side was the out door furniture was not comfortable for lounging.

This is a lovely home. Very generously provided for (lots of towels, bedding, snorkels and boogie boards, things like olive oil and salt and pepper to help you get going). The pool is small but fun for splashing and the view of the sunset is awesome. The pool was a bit dirty when we arrived because of the recent fires but after some chasing of the management company this was fixed after two days with a pool cleaner. We never quite got our head round how the hot tub worked and the engineer told us the heating element had broken. But it was hot sometime, not others and we enjoyed it when it was hot. Should stress that you CANNOT sit with the "inside / out" patio doors wide open due to the alarm that has to be on (doors open for max 20 seconds before it pierces like a smoke alarm). It does look as if previous tenants have looked to "innovate" around this though given some of the broken parts in the kitchen drawers! Cooking, utensils and utilities all great and new. The other pool etc. area is really nice, though a bit of a hike up the hill. Felt v safe. I think I would stay here again and they were great to accommodate us at short notice when we had to rearrange all our Maui plans. So thank you.

This was a great house! Perfect for us, my parents and our two teens. Great layout. Kitchen was well equipped. Garage was stocked with water toys etc. Comfortable beds. Easy check in and check out. Highly recommend!

House was as advertised: Great location, spacious (easily fit 6 of us), well maintained, with all the amenities. Working with the property manager was a breeze. We got the Mauna Kea resort privileges, which gave us access to the beaches and gyms at both the Mauna Kea and Westin hotels (they are right next to each other). Preferred the beach at Westin (Hapuna beach slightly more beautiful, plus quality and service at the pool restaurant better). Overall, we can definitively recommend this house/neighborhood and would come back here if we were to visit the Big Island again.

We really enjoyed the property. The entire experience was first class, with prompt and clear communication before arrival and for questions while at the property. Everything clean and well maintained, high end kitchen for cooking, and beautiful views of golf course and ocean. Only bummer was inability to open sliding glass wall between dining area and deck due to pool alarm, but understand the reason. We would definitely stay again.

for a place that sleeps 8 the glass ware is too limited ... it needs more medium sized glass ware for serving milk, juice ect. 4 old red wine glasses and one white is nothing short insulting to the price level of unit for the renter. The paper goods are below Motel 6 standars ... and it needs a clean up free almost hands free Kurig. B3

We had an overall lovely stay at Mauna Kea Dream. The house is tastefully decorated and has a great layout and lots of space to fit two families comfortably. Our kids loved the pool and hot tub. Our biggest disappointment/annoyance was the pool alarms on all the doors leading outside. You cannot leave any door open for more than 7 seconds or an obnoxious loud alarm goes off. We felt all the beautiful pictures showing the sliding glass doors open were very misleading, and that was a big reason we wanted this house. So renter beware, you do not get to enjoy that feature. I understand it's a safety measure, but feel the house should not have been advertised that way. We contacted the rental agency and they said "sorry". Getting the resort pass is a must. The garage was stocked with lots of beach gear, loved having the boogie board, but all the snorkel gear was either broken or missing key parts. As stated earlier, the doors/windows to the outside were never open, but there were lot of little ant like bugs in the bathroom sinks/showers/tubs, and a few cockroaches and lizards were noticed. Given all the bug traps around the house, it's probably endemic. The neighborhood is really nice, we didn't use the club house but it looked nice, peaceful and clean.

Fabulous property! As described on the site, this home has everything and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We loved the spa and pool after a day at the beach and the bbq came in handy with two dinners. Our family would definitely recommend this home and we will hopefully return soon!

We found this property to be more than expected as far as size goes. Large accommodating rooms, baths and living spaces, especially the pool area and kitchen

We’ve stayed at other places but this was the best all around! It was beautiful, there was everything we could want/need! It was a perfect place to get away!

This property is gorgeous, the home is spacious and beautiful, quiet and peaceful. My family enjoyed it, the pool and hot tub was the main feature. Everything about it was amazing! We were blessed to have found such a relaxing, safe, comfortable place for us to enjoy each other. The communication with property owners were great too! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! We look forward to returning soon.
