While not on the beach, everything about this condo gives you beach vibes. Super clean and well appointed. For us, it felt like everything was brand new with this place. Beds and pillows were great. Location great in the complex - everything on the listing was provided and more. Cleanest place we've stayed in our last 10 times on the island. Only wish ... management company was a little less hawkish about damage. We've never damaged a rental and don't ever intend to... be prepared for strong messaging! Also wish for more beach towels! Would not have been enough if there was more than 2 of us.

We loved everything about this property! The location was perfect- tucked in at the back of the complex, facing the ocean (just beyond the golf course, but you know it’s there ;), in between the Fairmont and Auberge, so you can enjoy a drink or dinner easily at either breathtaking resort, and close to some of the best beaches on the island. Having a beach pass to the Mauna Lani Beach Club was a must! It was a gem of a beach and so perfect for little kids. The house was immaculate and fully stocked, which we so appreciated if you’re planning on doing some cooking. We really hope to stay here again. It had more than everything we needed for our Hawaiian dream vacation. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, Jan!

We had chosen this location because of its proximity to the beach, the pool, and the local food store. It was a gathering of 6 Hawai’i raised friends from high school celebrating our 60th. It was the absolute best experience even though the weather was extreme due to the tropical storm. We cooked in the well stocked kitchen, hung out in the great dining and living room and slept well in the beds. We would all highly recommend this place for family and friend gatherings. The hot tub was an added bonus in the pouring rain!

This townhouse is clean, spacious and very well equipped. The master bath and closet are quite large, as is the main living area. Bed is really comfortable. The A/C is excellent. We cooked about half of our meals over a 12-day stay, and every piece of cooking equipment I needed was there. The beach/pool equipment is plentiful and high quality. It's great having access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club, one of the best snorkeling locations on the island. It's quiet and peaceful at the Fairways, and we spent a lot of time on the lanai, having meals and reading/relaxing. We had a question about operating the gas grill, and the owner, a really nice person, came over in 2 minutes to show us what to do. I highly recommend this unit.

The condo well exceeded our expectations and is nicer than the photos demonstrate. It is incredibly well equipt for anything you will need for a comfortable and fun vacation on the Kohala Coast. The info shared by the owners/managers was incredibly helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable. Can't recommend this VRBO listing enough!

Our family spent five nights at Fairways at Mauna Lani. It was amazing. The condo is very nice with all the amenities you'll need. They even have everything for the beach as well: beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, umbrella, coolers, etc. All the beds were very comfortable. We also loved spending mornings on the lanai listening to the birds.
However, the best thing, in my opinion was access to the Mauna Lani beach club. A short 5 min drive gets you to a private-access parking lot within a few steps of the beach. The are cabanas available (first come, first served) and many lounge chairs too. The beach offers nice white sand and plenty of shade. One bonus that we weren't expecting was the snorkeling was excellent. You just have to get outside of the main swimming area to the left and the water is clear with lots of coral/fish.
I highly recommend staying here. Wendi was great to deal with and the condo was even better than the pictures indicate. Oh, the pool/hot tub area at the condo was great as well. We often had it to ourselves.

The property, community, location, and the host were outstanding. Everything was super clean and welcoming with lots of amenities. Communications with the ower before and during the stay were flawless and the owner tips of what to do around the island were super helpful. The property was quiet with the nicest lanai to relax and enjoy meals. The pool was just lovely too. I absolutely recommend this property and look forward to returning in the future.

The kitchen faucet handle was loose and came off during use. The countertop oven didn't work. The dwelling itself and furnishings were very clean with less than normal wear showing. Detailed property instructions were left at the entrance along with various access keys. A/C worked well but was not adjustable. The nearby private beach access was the best thing about this condo even though it was a bit crowded the days we went there.

The unit is well equipped for a small group. The location is wonderful. The owners have done a great job of making it ready for visitors. Really great communication regarding check in and check out. The beach club access is great for families. Also, the pool is really nice. You were only a few minutes from the market.

This was a great example of relaxed comfort at Mauna Lani: the place was comfortable, and included bikes and beach stuff in the garage: a welcome bonus! Many Mauna Lani properties Lanai's aren't that private, but this one is, as there's mature vegetation around it. Love it, and was great value!

I had high expectations given the prior reviews, but this property exceeded expectations. After we got home, my wife, said: "Every time I turned around, they had exactly what I needed and it was exactly where I needed it, and I didn't even know I needed it. It's like they thought of everything and went out of their way to make staying here easy and comfortable."
A few things that I did not see in prior reviews that might be good for future guests to know:
1. The bed in the master bedroom is very comfortable! It is by far the most comfortable bed (and pillows) we have ever had at a vacation property.
2. The pool is the perfect temperature and was never crowded. We were always able to find loungers out there.
3. The unit looks so much better in person than it does in the pictures.
4. It seemed the upstairs patio furniture was recently replaced as it looked brand new and was also very comfortable. I did not realize how much time we would spend out there, but the evening breeze was so relaxing we were out there every night.
5. The grill was easy to use. The unit's back porch was shaded in the afternoon and evening (actually most of the day because of the trees), so it wasn't in the blazing sun while I was cooking dinner. It was very comfortable to cook and eat out there every evening.
Overall this place gets an A+ (the owners too - they were as kind and accommodating as the prior reviews say!)

Return visit to Fairways. Reservation was made relatively late so choice of units was limited. The owner acts as a corporation so my review is based on experience with other owners.
Relatively poor communication. Needed to request check in instructions. Stated he had sent an email that I never received and required another request to finally get the information. Slow in responding. Unit was standard with less amenities compared to others at Fairways. No cooler or umbrellas so organize your own shade if you plan on visiting public beaches or be at the beach club well before nine to get shade. Does have 5 bikes. No premium TV channels if that is a consideration. Overall this would not be my first choice at Fairways.

My wife and I loved our stay here with our 1-year-old son! The home was clean, spacious, modern, and well-appointed. The main room was bright with large windows showing the tropical landscaping. The pool is very close and was not crowded; we were often the only ones there, and we never had trouble getting pool chairs. The provided pack n play travel crib and high chair worked very well for us, and we also rented a play yard that we set up on the main room. The hosts were friendly, helpful, and responsive. The location is great, within a walk or short drive to great resorts and cute shopping centers. We plan to stay here again. Highly recommended!!!

Our family of four appreciated this spacious, comfortable home in Mauna Lani. The location is great, we walked to petroglyph park and the beach every morning where we frequently saw turtles. Our kids loved the pool and beach club. There is excellent snorkeling off the beach. It was a good base for day outings and we had a fun, relaxing vacation.

We loved our stay at the Fairways! The home was beautiful, clean, and the perfect landing spot for the week. I loved having a kitchen and eating meals as a family at a table. I also loved having space to spread out and unwind at the end of the day. My favorite spot was breakfast on the balcony listening to the birds. I was grateful to have access to the dishwasher, washer, and dryer as well as a variety of kitchen supplies such as a rice cooker and blender. The pool was right next to the unit and a cute little grocery store was about a half mile up the road. We were close to several beaches and shopping areas. We will most definitely be back!

An excellent and amazing place to stay. It has easy access to everything you need, pool, beach, grocery place, dining place. STAFF are amazing and very helpful. They care for us. I happen to accidentally forgot my jewelry box and N. Oliva (Housekeeping Mngr) is the BEST! She went out of her way to find it and mail it back to my residence in AZ. She answers phone calls/email and text message. I'm forever grateful! Thank you! Thank you!

We were pleasantly impressed with the home's amenities which included cable TV, WIFI, comfortable beds and bedding, kitchen tools as well as use of outdoor equipment (i.e., snorkeling equipment, bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas). Once we secured our booking dates, we were contacted by the host who offered several recommendations during our stay. Lizette was outstanding in making sure we had access to the home upon our arrival. She provided a great suggestion to visit the Farmers Market for gifts and great food items. We all agreed that we will return to this beautiful home on our next visit to the Big Island.

We were very pleased with the location, cleanliness and how well thought out and quality of the interior/equipment that was available. Not only were the beds comfortable and kitchen well stocked, there were many little extra details that made our stay more pleasurable. For example, each bathroom contained shampoo/conditioner/body wash that made showering after beach days easy. Coolers in the garage and ice packs in the freezer made meals/snacks convenient at the beach. Ziplock bags were available for food storage as needed. We greatly appreciated the suggestions for activities provided by the owner, and the owner was great with communicating with us to make sure all was well once we arrived. We would definitely enjoy staying here again!

I love Mauna Lani and the access to the beach club. The property is walking distance to some restaurants and a grovery store which was so convenient and nice. Great home base for our visit to the island and perfect for our family wiht lots of room to spread out and enjoy when we were there. The pool was lovely for relaxing and the beach club was nice for snorkeling. There was some noise from the maintanence shed some mornings, but that was explained in the description and we were up early due to the time change anyways. We cooked most nights and we had everything that we needed.

More spacious than the pictures indicate. Grounds are lovely, kids loved the pool and the fruit trees. Kitchen is well stocked- we made nearly all our meals in for the week. Beach club access is a definite plus, with calm water and good snorkeling. Boogie boards, beach chairs/umbrella in the garage are convenient.

We split our stay between the Orchid and this 3br condo at the fairways. Easy walk to grocery and to the Orchid. We rented a car at the Orchid and drove to Kona, Hilo, etc. The condo was perfect for me, my wife and our 2 adult kids and their significant others. Easy walk to pool and pool was not crowded. Literally nothing to be improved upon. We had a great stay!

This home is outstanding. It was truly the highlight of our trip on Big Island. With two kids, we pretty much stayed in one place, watercolor painting on the beautiful lanai, swimming in the resort pool, and enjoying meals at home. This home feels like your best friend invited you to their house and made sure you had everything you needed and more to feel at home. Jan, this is obviously a passion of yours! We couldn’t even find a speck of dirt in any forgotten corner. Plentiful supplies abounded, and we slept like angels on the beds. Garage had tons of extra gear for swimming snorkeling beach days and kids play.
