This is a very easy review, perfect location that is exactly as advertised and so well stocked and supplied we only bought groceries. We stayed nine nights and had zero disappointments.
If you are seeking a resort experience, do much better than a hotel. Room to relax yet within five to 15-minutes you can walk to any of the resort restaurants/ bars.
We could not have been more pleased and will not only recommend to others but, of course, return for more.
Dave and Susan take pride of ownership and comfort of their guests to heart.

This was my husband's and my second stay at Sue and Dave's beautiful condo. They have created a wonderful environment for a vacation. Every detail of what you might need is already there in the condo complete with a thick binder on the coffee table answering any question you might have with tons of great suggestion of what to do during your stay. They are always available to answer any question you may have and respond quickly. It has become one our favorite places to go in the world and we will be returning. Thank you, sue & Dave.

We had a wonderful stay in this peaceful condo! The unit was clean and welcoming and the lanai was perfect - overlooking both the ocean and a beautiful fish pond. Easy walk to the pool and the neighboring Mauna Lani Auberge Resort. The owners took great care to make sure we had a nice stay, and their recommendations for local dining and entertainment were greatly appreciated. The unit was also well equipped for preparing meals and eating in. We would definitely stay here again! Mahalo.

My husband and I had a great stay here April 14 to 20, 2024. The location next to the Mauna Lani Hotel really can't be beat. We were able to walk over to the hotel to grab a coffee in the morning, and also walked to dinner one night. There are many walking trails as well.
Having the two bathrooms in the condo was a major plus, and the view from the lanai was so wonderful. It is so great to have all the extra space that a condo gives you over a hotel room.
The beach club that is available for use was very nice, with a quiet lagoon, and cabanas and loungers for guests. There is a restaurant right there, and would have been a great option to get lunch, but the day we were there, Monday, April 15, their gas was shut off, so they could only offer cold items. The beach club was a small area, and was very crowded, even though it was still just mid-April. We prefer a different ambiance, so we took the drive up the highway the rest of the week to the beautiful beach at the Mauna Kea Resort. The public parking lot there is small, so if you want to explore that beach, go early!
The condo is also close to a small shopping center with a grocery store, where we bought a few provisions, and a Tommy Bahama restaurant and store. There are a few more restaurants and shops there as well.
Sue and Dave, the condo owners, were so helpful with lots of information regarding local dining options and activities. We really appreciate all their help, and thank them for making their condo available.

We had a terrific stay at Mauni Lani Terrace Condominiums. This was our first stay at Big Island in over 25 years and did not know what to expect. This unit is located very centrally to everything around the island. We did not have enough time to do everything but will have to come back soon. The Unit itself is well furnished with everything that you need for a short or extended stay. We absolutely would recommend this Unit.

This is a high end condo in a high end quiet development. The unit was fully stocked (as much as any we’ve been in). Very close to grocery , dive shop, and coffee shop. The pool area was quiet, with separate wading pool and large hot tub. The grilling area is a short walk from the unit.
Overall exactly what we wanted.

Beautiful property and unit. Condo was perfectly appointed. Quick walk to the beach and morning walks around the fish ponds and along the ocean were second to none. Sunsets from the beach were fantastic. Hope to come back next year!

We booked this trip for our 30th Anniversary. Our only regret is that we did not book for a longer time. The property was exceptional and beyond our expectation. The view was spectacular and every amenity you could think of was provided. This property was the absolute cleanest of any rental property I've ever stayed at. The hosts were in communication promptly throughout the process and provided clear instructions and several options for sightseeing and restaurants. Pueo's Osteria is highly recommended!!! If we ever make it back I will definitely be rebooking here.

We've stayed in several units throughout Mauna Lani over the years, and we were very happy with Dave and Sue's unit. You can tell that it's well-maintained, and it was especially clean when we arrived. Everything that we needed for our trip was provided. The location is one of our favorites within the Terraces -- a nice view of the ocean in the distance, without getting caught up in the sights and sounds of the hotel. Dave and Sue were also incredibly helpful with respect to our checkin -- we were arriving from nearby, and were able to check in early with no difficulties. I know that's not always possible, but we were especially grateful that it worked in this case. Thank you, Dave and Sue!

We loved our stay at this unit. It was spacious and beautifully appointed with incredible views. It was so wonderful to wake up each morning and sit out on the lanai with our coffee, with such wonderful views and ocean breezes. It was very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked well. The owners were very helpful and communications were easy. We couldn’t be happier and will stay again!

The beautiful condo had everything we could have needed. We cooked in most days, and it was so easy with the well supplied kitchen- oven, microwave, dishwasher, All-Clad pans, plenty of dishes and glasses. We enjoyed walking along the beach, paths and to the nearby stores. The owners provided great recommendations on the area both before we got there and also in the booklet left in the condo. The complex has a great pool area with plenty of lounge chairs. The grill area is designed wonderfully. There are two grills that are open any time, and three that you need to reserve. There are separate dining areas in front of each of the grills. It was also very nice that none of the facilities were crowded during our stay.

My husband and I had such a lovely time staying in this condo. The location was so convenient to all the amenities on the resort property. The walks to the beach along the fish ponds were so picturesque!
Kitchen was well stocked, bed was comfortable, everything was provided for beach activities, and the lanais were so inviting. We drank our coffee out on the lanai in the morning and played cards out on it in the evening.
The owners were responsive and ensured our stay was unforgettable.
If we make it back to the Big Island we definitely will stay here again!

We really enjoyed staying at this VRBO in Mauna Lani. It was clean, well stocked, accurately advertised. The owner was helpful with any issues. We used the grills, pool, and hot tub. The other guests we met were very friendly. We ate lunch at Tommy Bahama in the complex and it was delicious. We also found a brochure for Charley's Thai and it was very good. The shopping was nice and we would not have realized it was there if we had not looked for Charley's Thai. We visited 3 historic sites on the Kona side of the Big Island and learned more about it's history. We did not use the beach gear but would if we visited again. I would highly recommend this rental.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mauna Lani Terraces. The home was wonderfully equipped and so well cared for. The owners were in constant communication and made you feel like it was your second home. The location speaks for itself - you can indulge on Long Beach walks in either direction, superb dining and easy snorkeling. Thank you to the owners for providing a lovely vacation backdrop for us.

We had a wonderful stay at Mauna Lani Terrace! Conveniently located within a short walk from the beach, it was a sweet little oasis!

Let us count the ways this is an exceptional property!
The owners are outstanding and made our trip extra special.
Their pre-arrival information was very helpful, and any communication to them received an immediate reply.
The condo is lovely and furnished very well. You feel as if you are walking into your own dream home with everything ready to make your vacation awesome.
The resort itself was quiet, extremely well maintained, and we treasured every minute. The walk to the beach is an easy one. The grocery store is close, as well as other cute shops.
If only we could have stayed a bit longer.... it's a little piece of heaven! Thank you to our host and hostess.

We throughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful condo for two! Clean, comfortable, and fully stocked with all kitchen supplies, extra linens, beach chairs etc. Pool and beach access were easy. Very quiet setting and a beautiful view of ocean, pond, and palm trees from lanais. We've been to this area before but definitely appreciated all of the information provided about restaurants and recreation in the area. Would love to return!

Wonderful, well stocked condo with too many amenities to list! No need to purchase anything for the beach or pool- chairs, towels, beach toys for kids, boogie boards are all provided. The owners made a nice book that you will find in the condo- great tips for exploring, places to eat and interesting local facts. Would definitely recommend

We spent 2 wonderful weeks in this luxury condo. The furnishing was Tommy Bahama quality with an Asian accent. Beautifully done.
Kitchen was stocked with everything one needs and the appliances were brand new! A few minutes walk to the Terrace pool where we could barbecue and go for a swim before dinner. The private beach was just a short drive away. We’ve stayed at the Terrace condos many times...this was by far our favorite. We will be back!

Everything was ‘right-on’. Perfect location with vast unobstructed view.

We loved our stay at Dave and Sue’s place! The condo is beautiful and clean with a very comfortable bed.. The view is absolutely amazing from all the lanais! The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. We would love to stay again next time we go to Hawaii!
June 2022
Our usual condo at Mauna Lani Point was not available for our dates, so we found this wonderful condo - and now we like it more than our previous place! Don't get us wrong: both locations are wonderful, but you can't beat the location of the Terrace. You can walk to the beach club, you are steps away from the Auberge Hotel grounds and restaurants, very close to the shopping center including Foodland grocery store. The unit itself is very private and has a wonderful view. It's stocked with everything you'll need. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and plan to be back next year!

We had a wonderful stay here. The condo is beautifully maintained and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. We’ve stayed at a lot of VRBO properties and this had one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve ever experienced. I appreciate that as I always cook on vacation (which is one of the main reasons we stay in a condo instead of hotel). We would stay here again if/when we return to the Big Island. We came for the ironman event and staying here made it that much better.

This is an attractive, well-maintained accommodation with everything anyone would need. The views out the lanais were gorgeous and the sunsets were amazing. The two bathrooms were convenient, the kitchen well-equipped, and the bed was comfortable. We value privacy & quiet and had both these things to a high level. As others have noted, Dave and Sue provided lots of valuable information prior to our arrival. They care about their guests. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in Dave & Sues's beautiful condo in May, 2022. Everything about it was perfect. The pictures of it on VRBO are exactly what it looks like. Beautiful! We opened the door and both of us said a loud, "WOW"! The owners have thoughtfully supplied their home with all of the comforts you can imagine. The location on the Mauna Lani area is excellent. It is beautifully decorated and comfortable, even has beach chairs and beach towels provided. Everything in this home is of excellent quality. Our first night we sat on the beautiful lanai and started to make plans to return to this condo. Truly exceptional!

My husband and I spent the month of March in this gorgeous location and hated to leave! We travel frequently and this condo was one of the best equipped we've ever rented. The attentive owners provided us with lots of information on the property, as well as on the island itself. This was especially helpful since this was our first visit. We loved the beach club, the outdoor spaces, the restaurants within walking distance, and those gorgeous sunsets every night. Our first trip to Hawaii, but definitely not our last. Can't wait to return to this beautiful condo. THANK YOU SO MUCH, DAVE & SUE!

Delightful Condo! Serene, clean and very well set-up. Thank you much to our gracious hosts! The condo has everything. Before our trip, the host sent us an email with suggestions regarding local attractions and restaurants, beach access and strategic timing. We used the well equipped kitchen for coffee and breakfast. We were pleased to find the numerous restaurants at the Mauna Lani Resort to accommodate most of our spontaneous dinner reservations. Thanks again and we would love to be your guests again on our next visit to the Big Island. Much Aloha!

This property is perfect! It is incredibly private and has so much usable outdoor space. The interior is beautifully appointed, but I don't think we ever sat anywhere except outside. The location is conveniently located to the beach club and shoreline trail. We often found ourselves the only ones on the beach for sunset or at the pool. It was magical! The owners were very communicative and quick to respond. We would definitely come back!

Thank you Dave and Sue for allowing us to stay at your wonderful home! Beautifully decorated and conveniently located near all of Mauna Lani’s amenities with peaceful views of the fish ponds / ocean. Brought my fiancé to the island for the first time and she has fallen in love with it as much as I have (been coming for over 30 years) due in no small part to our stay at your home. Mahalo!

The condo was perfect -- my husband and I stayed for a week and really enjoyed the location. Mauna Lani is a beautiful area and the condo complex (grounds and pool) were very nice. Walking distance to the Auberge and the Fairmont hotels were a plus. Dave was so helpful before answering questions and the information packet was perfect. Great recommendations for dinner, the Ul'u Ocean Grill (Four Seasons) and the Mauna Lani Beach Club were highlights. Overall great trip!

Dave and Sue sent information about the rental immediately after we booked and continued providing details about amenities and attractions in the weeks leading up to our trip as well as up to date info on Hawaii’s COVID travel protocols. The condo was immaculate and well equipped for a lengthy stay. The lanai overlooks the Mauna Lani fish ponds, which you also pass through on a short walk to the beach. Rental includes access to the the Beach Club and pool and provides and covered parking spot. It is a short drive to the Mauna Lani resort shops and just a few minutes to the more extensive dining and shopping options at Waikoloa Village. Perfect location for day trips to sites on the Kohala coast. Would highly recommended and will definitely look to book this property again.

We stayed at Dave & Sue's condo for a week in June of 2021 and found it to be a wonderful place to relax as well as a convenient base of operations for exploring the island of Hawaii.
The condo itself is spacious with two bathrooms two showers, a large living room and kitchen and two covered lanais overlooking the fishponds. It's about a 5 minute walk to the beach and conveniently a 10 min walk to the Mauna Lani beach club. The condo has tall ceilings with fans and A/C and is very well appointed with all of the kitchen equipment and cleaning supplies you might need.
We didnt have any issues whatsoever so didn't need to interact with Dave & Sue too much, but really appreciated them checking in to confirm that we were settled OK and providing thoughtful tips and recommendations ahead of us arriving on-island. They even provided us up-to-date COVID information!
We really enjoyed our stay and will look back to it as our #1 option on the Big Island.
Thank you so much for everything and for a wonderful stay.

A beautifully furnished and convenient condo. For several years we had been staying at the Mauna Lani Hotel because of the great snorkeling at the Beach Club, the lovely grounds, the climate and the impressive hotel. When it was closed for renovation we decided to stay in one of the Mauna Lani Terrace condominiums that arc around the lagoons. It would still mean easy access to the beaches and the rest of the grounds. This residence is not oceanfront like the room at the hotel but it excels in many other ways. It has elegant furnishings and art items, two bathrooms (one with separate tub and shower and two sink/mirro/large counter arrangements), a well equipped kitchen, and three separate lani spaces facing on the tranquil lagoon with a bit of ocean view. The owners were extremely helpful with information and any issues. Frankly we would go back rather than stay at the hotel again.

October 2019
We were so happy with this condo! Dave and sue made everything really easy. The location was great, the condo had everything we needed, and the decor is beautiful. Our goal was relaxation and snorkeling, and we found our favorite place to snorkel was the beach just a short walk from the condo. We chose masks, fins, and snorkels from their supply and used them the whole time. The pool area is beautiful and many times we had it all to ourselves or with one other couple. We also walked directly to the comfy lounges on the beach in front of the condos to watch the sunsets each evening. Otherwise, we spent a lot of time relaxing on the deck. There are nice shops, restaurants, and a grocery store nearby. We definitely want to come back!

Gorgeous views from a relaxing, spacious condo on the first floor, a few steps below parking level. Watch fish swimming right off the lanai or take a short walk out to the coastline to watch sunset from the club's cabanas and chairs.
August 2019
Everything was as advertised. Dave responded quickly when we had questions! Location was good! The Beach Club was a quick walk from the town home! We went to several snorkel beaches, utilizing the units snorkel gear, beach chairs and boogie boards! We are just sorry that we didn't get enough time to enjoy the patio with fish pond and ocean view! We would defintely stay here again!

This is an outstanding property. It is located on a beautiful pond (don’t worry, salt water no mosquitos), a short walk to a pool and a little further to the beach club with cabanas and wonderful snorkeling right there. The unit is beautifully furnished and equipped and the owners lovely to deal with. An A+

My husband and I really enjoyed the condo. We loved the multiple indoor and outdoor seating areas, the fully equipped kitchen, and the availability of beach/snorkeling equipment.
We have stayed at Mauna Lani before, both at the hotel and at the Mauna Lani Point. The Beach Club is great: wonderful beach and excellent food at the restaurant. However, we honestly we're disappointed that the hotel and overall property was going through major construction, and some of the facilities and amenities we looked forward to were unavailable, including the Mauna Lani Spa, the hotel grounds and restaurants, and the golf course restaurant (Troon Golf is actually out of compliance by not having a restaurant). We were unaware of this construction and closures were happening when we booked the unit.
That said, we still had a great time, and the condo itself is excellent.
