We highly recommend this property. It was an amazing place to stay during our recent vacation. The property manager was easy to communicate with and provided great information to us before our stay and during our stay if there was a need. The kitchen was impressively stocked with all of the essential kitchen items we could have wanted to utilize (pots/pans, dining items, utensils etc.). The patio/lanai was a perfect place to relax or play an evening game. There were items for snorkeling and playing in the water, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The home was very comfortable and in a beautiful location it is located near beaches which are family friendly for both playing and snorkeling. Day trips, to view scenery and explore are easily done from this location. There is a booklet at the home with pamphlets and areas of interest, these are very useful - we had done research prior to arriving, but looking through it allowed us to find other areas of interest.

The house is really nice and furnished with everything needed. Ralph was extremely helpful and available. We will definitely come back when on the island.

All was as it was meant to be, and that is fantastic. A bit of a tropical storm hit us for a day, but it forced us to relax and slow down. A welcome and unplanned gift. Thank you Hawai’i ohana, you always provide us with the needed perspective.

This property was terrific. It is in a gated community in Mauna Lani which is a beautiful spot on the western side of the island, north of the Kona airport. The weather was beautiful all week in this location compared to other areas of the island we visited. The condo is near a supermarket and a few shops including a favorite lunch spot - Juice101. The condo amenities were ideal- beautiful pools, hot tub, and gym. It also came with access to the Mauna Lani Beach Resort which was a beautiful small beach in a cove close to the condo. The snorkeling was wonderful and it was close enough to bike to from the condo. The condo has everything you need for your vacation- well equipped kitchen, outside grill and sitting area, bikes, snorkel gear, beach gear, etc. The host was very responsive. This was an excellent spot to serve as a base for our exploration of the Big Island. We loved it here. It was perfect in every way for our family.

We just wanted to get away from the rain and this was perfect. Quiet and pool was perfect loved the hot tub!!! It was one of our favorites and the hours were great. Bed was very comfortable. Mahalo.
August 2024
This is a great home. Lovely and comfortable. They have everything you could possibly need and more.
We love Mauna Lani and the beach club/beach there. The pools are super and the neighborhood is quiet and private. The condo’s large sliders allow full open air into the living room. The outdoor kitchen and eating area are comfortable. The floor plan is very functional. The bikes were fun. The beach chairs, coolers, and umbrellas were useful.
This is a great home. We will definitely be back.

Overall the property and the location were as advertised. Very comfortable and in a great location. The beds were comfortable and the home was very clean. The beach amenities were super nice to have!
The place fit us 4 very comfortably. You could definitely fit a couple more people, but 4 is nice.
The kitchen was nicely appointed (though you could have more spices and staples like oils, etc. on hand) and the bathrooms had nice soaps and plenty of towels. Overall this rental was worth the price and we would stay there again.

Ralpha and Priscilla continue to be phenomenal hosts. This is our 2nd year staying in their place and unbelievably we had more fun than last year. The condo is very well appointed with everything you could need for your stay. I highly recommend this condo for anyone considering a stay on the Big Island.

We had a wonderful time at this home. The previous reviews were all spot on. Plenty of room for the family and we loved access to the beach club. Use of the bikes, beach chairs, coolers, etc was a plus. Sitting in the backyard having breakfast was so relaxing, lots of wildlife visited us each morning. Lots of kitchen gadgets were available and made cooking and eating at the home very easy. Also the pool, spa, and gym were great too. Overall a wonderful stay! Thank you.

We are veterans of renting VRBO property in Hawaii. This townhouse was absolutely beautiful! The house was very well stocked. The kitchen had everything you could ever need. There was also extra toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc... which is above and beyond for most rentals! It was comfortable and very convenient. We LOVE having access to the private Mauna Lani Beach Club - so beautiful! Property management was quick to respond and very helpful! This townhouse was absolutely perfect....except for the beach gear. One of the reasons we do VRBO is so we do not have to bring our own stuff. This rental provided the stuff- but it was in horrible shape. There were three thin beach towels (odd since the VRBO is strict about only allowing 4 people). Three beach chairs that don't open or stay well. Snorkel gear is mostly broken, boogie boards are broken and beach umbrella is poor quality and falling apart. We worked around it but it wasn't ideal.
Other than that, the rental is gorgeous! The bedrooms are nice, the bathrooms are huge and we enjoyed our stay very much!

We really enjoyed the property. The beach pass and pool pass were very nice and we used on multiple days. The location was excellent with many options for dining and shopping. Plenty of opportunities to run or walk around and outside the property. The condo was fantastic, directions were clear about what to do. The only challenge was the gate code the first night. But we got it resolved. We would stay again.

What an incredible place to stay! It strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience, allowing easy access to nearby attractions. The atmosphere among the other units was delightful, and the surroundings were tranquil and serene. The nearby beach was stunning and easily accessible by car. The house itself was spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed. Truly a beautiful place to stay.

Loved staying at this spot. We go every year to the Big Island and this is the nicest place we have stayed so far. Clean, beautiful, lots of amenities. Comfortable beds. Close to everything and the pool. The hosts were deeply generous and accommmodating.
Also loved the bikes!

Ralph is the most organized and responsive VRBO host we've ever rented from. The condo itself is great - very clean, and very organized. Ralph has thought of everything. The beds and pillows were high quality and very comfortable. The towels and provided toiletries were great. The beach equipment was an added bonus - lots of kids snorkel equipment, boogie boards, pool noodles, beach umbrellas, and a wagon. There is 1 kid size life jacket which was nice to have for my younger snorkeler. The pool is shared with the Ka Milo development to the north but always had lots of chairs and shade. There is a lap pool, a hot tub and a fitness center there. Being able to use the Gem cart is reason enough to book - just a few minutes down the road to the Fairmont Orchid, a few minutes the other direction to the grocery store (be prepared for $7 milk and $10 bread), Tommy Bahama restaurant, and the Island Taproom had good IPAs. The Fairmont Orchid restaurant was underwhelming but we ate one night at Beach Tree at the Four Seasons Hualalai (30 min south) and it was fantastic. The Mauna Lani Beach Club is 5 minutes by cart and had the calmest water and best snorkeling in our time there. Plus beach chairs and a restaurant good for lunch. The neighborhood is very quiet and much more relaxed than Waikaloa to the south. Great for families. Overall this is a fantastic home base to explore the Big Island or just hang out in the resort areas along the Kohala cost. We will definitely be back!

Well-appointed home including the kitchen. Can NOT beat the fabulous view of Mauna Kea from the lanai and the lush landscaping between the property and the golf course. Second time staying here with our two grown boys. Plenty of space, easy to access and communicate with property manager. Love the access to Mauna Lani Beach club, proximity to Fairmont and the neighboring beach park.

We loved our stay! House is incredibly spacious, has everything we needed to feel right at home. Loved the pool area and walking around the neighborhood, which was quiet and safe for everyone to enjoy themselves. Having the private beach access nearby via car was also a fantastic amenity. The restaurant that they have at the private beach was really good too. Would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone.

We had a magical time as a family. Off to beaches, hikes, nearby shopping and lots of places to dine at. We spent a day in Hilo, ate at the Hawaiian Style Cafe, tasted a wide variety of Mochi at the Two Ladies Kitchen, walked through the Liliuokalani Botanical Gardens, relaxed at Coconut Island, then ventured over to Kaumana Caves.
On other days we took a day trip to the Papakolea Green Sand beach. Took a coffee farm tour (must do!), visited a Macadamia Nut Factory, ate shaved ice almost everyday and swam at Kua Bay. We also swam at the Mauna Lani Beach Club every other day and ate at Beach Club restaurant. The fish tacos are awesome! Sooo many more wonderful experiences, too long to list, the nicest part of our vacation was returning back to our Condo, unwinding and relaxing in the spa.
Oh...and the acai bowls at Juice 101 are the best!! Practically a short walk away from the Condo. We feasted on poke almost every day, thanks to Foodland!
I look forward to returning.

This property is fabulous! We've stayed at over a dozen vacation rentals in Hawaii, and this is the nicest by a long shot. It's well appointment with nice furniture and amenities, and the property owner is very communicative. Access to the beach club was a huge perk for our family, and we all kept talking about how fortunate we were to book this property. I'd definitely come back and would definitely recommend.

We stayed for 2 weeks, visiting my son who works in Hawaii.
The property and location was great.
The house was clean and had all we needed for a comfortable stay.
We loved the set up locally, with pools, gym and hot tub.
Having an access key to park at the local beach was also a great advantage.
Would come again :-)

We LOVED everything about the condo. Size, location, proximity to the grocery store, restaurants, pool and fitness area. It was so well equipped with so many different necessities, its was awesome!
We would definitely stay again and recommend the condo to anyone we know bisoting the bog island.
Thank you for making our stay that much more enjoyable!!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and the owner thought of everything, cooking supplies, beach chair and towels, grocery bags, and even a first aid kit... Nice gym and pools in the community. The condo is in a great location, a short walk to Fairmount Orchid and Foodland. We couldn't ask for a better place.

All the comforts of home and more!
We enjoyed time around the pool, the private beach and evenings at the Fairmont Orchid resort. 20 minutes to some of the best beaches on the Kona coast.
Conveniently located in Mauna Lani and walking distance to restaurants and groceries. But who needs to walk when you have access to a GEM EV cart?
Ralph was the perfect host; available when needed to get us settled in.
We’ll be back!

Everything was as advertised except the outside furniture. It is not the same as in pictures andnis uncomfortable. Also the place is at the end of the developement and so you view a construction fence. But we would go back as the developement is beautiful.

The Kulalani section of Mauna Lani is beautiful, quiet, and tranquil. These townhomes are pretty close together, but you don’t feel like it with all of the vegetation and the way the properties are landscaped and laid out. The pool is a short two minute walk to the right as you exit the house.
The kitchen is very well equipped with every appliance, pots and pans and kitchen gadget that you would need to cook. Wonderful variety of spices, condiments already stocked. The nonstick skillets are at the end of their life, but still work well. I would recommend getting a Keurig for convenience and flexibility especially when everyone has different coffee preferences. All of the furnishings and bedding are very nice and upscale. The mattresses were comfortable. The master bedroom mattress is encased in a protective cover that does make you sleep hot and makes your sheets slide around because it is so slick. But we understand that this is for sanitary reasons and to protect the mattress.
The AC was a bit of a hiccup for us. The set point is 72. It works well overall, but we never quite figured out the system. The upstairs bedrooms get very cool. But the master bedroom downstairs never got completely cool enough to sleep well. The owners were very diligent and communicative in helping us try to be comfortable. The pool needs some work and was closed for repairs within three days. We were not notified of the reopen and missed most of the last week. We still loved every minute.
