We enjoyed staying at this home. It had everything we needed and more. Close to nice beaches and good shops. The pool area was also very nice. Would definitely come back.

This was a great property, one of our favorites. The best thing about this property was - it was as though you were staying at your own place- or a good friends place. Plenty of towels, comfy beds, and best of all, a kitchen stocked with great everyday living needs. Spices, condiments, baggies, items for baking and grilling, plastic containers for storage or putting sandwiches in for the beach so they didn't get squished. Speaking of beaches- the private beach and black sand beach were great along with our other favorites AND beach towels, coolers, other beach things- really stocked just like home!! Thank you for a fantastic place to stay!!! 🌸🏖️☀️🌴

Your home truly enhanced our enjoyment of the island. After our daily adventurers, it was wonderful knowing we were returning to a safe, clean, and comfortable landing pad. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Anytime we looked for something, there it was (chip clips, BBQ utensils, paper towels, soap, Tupperware, down to the ample silverware). A big thank you for the chilled aloe vera gel in the fridge too. We appreciated your foresight and thoughtfulness in hosting our family of 6. Each of us slept well in the super comfy beds. There were plenty of clean towels, beach towels, and everything else we could possibly need. The bikes and beach gear were amazing too. So nice having chairs to bring while enjoying sunsets. Our son was able to ride your bikes to the beach club to do his homework. Super convenient and helpful. Great perk! Loved the game table! Lots of fun and laughs around it during our stay. We’re grateful to have found you and will absolutely seek you out again when we return. The personalized beach/grocery tote and snacks were such a nice touch too. Really made us feel welcome. Thank you infinity for being such gracious hosts. Mahalo nui loa 🌺🌈🌴🐚

The condo was very nice. Clean, well appointed, nice view, nice pool, quiet, convenient parking, air conditioning work very well. Location was great, easy to get to places on the island. Private access beach was wonderful. Needs a real grill on the balcony as with most condo rentals, electric plate griddle provided was effectively worthless.

We had a great stay at Marsha’s condo. It was very clean and comfortable and located close to the Beach Club. We would love to stay again.

The property was clean and had a great Hawaiian vibe. It's just a short walk to the pool and the trash center was very close by which was convenient. The A/C unit was powerful and cooled the house down almost immediately. The lanai was wonderful and relaxing with foliage providing privacy and shade. The host was responsive and helpful with the only phone call we needed to make. The garage contained a great variety of beach toys and sporting gear. One huge bonus was the dedicated two parking spots...fantastic. A pack n play was also available for our baby. Only slight negatives were the short supply of paper towels and toilet paper for a 11 day stay. Other than that, the house was great. We would certainly stay there again.

Loved our place here. They were so accommodating for us. The place was super clean and quiet. It is on the end of the units so basically no neighbors. Possible the best location. Would stay again here.

Family trip with all of my family. We number over fifty. So, there were several rentals. Really wonderful stay. We had a game night with about 15 of us and it was fun and easy. The coffee table unfolded into a great game table.

This town home is the perfect place to stay on the Big Island. The home is very clean and has everything you need for your stay. The pool is right in your backyard and a very short bike ride to the private beach (which has incredible snorkeling). Everything you need to make meals is already in the kitchen. The owners are very quick to answer any questions you may have. Do not waste your time looking for another place to stay. I would not think twice about staying here again.

We enjoyed a week long stay here with our extended family. It was ver comfortable, a lovely, quiet atmosphere and convenient walk to the pool. We loved the proximity to the beach club. It is a drive to get to Kailua-Kona, but worth it.

August 2024

We loved everything about our stay in Hawaii. The property was everything they claimed it to be, and the hosts even provided a care package we received upon arrival. The access to the beach club was fabulous; our children loved the beach and getting to hang out in a cabana and learn to snorkel. The information book provided was a great resource of things to do on the island. Thanks so much!

Family and I had a wonderful time! Place was everything as promoted! Enjoyed many meals on the patio. Amazed with the huge variety of kitchen utensils, and cooking items. Highly recommend for a relaxing visit!! Small suggestion- larger TV in master, streaming channels on one other TV and a potato masher :)

Our second year in a row staying in this condo through Vacasa. Same outstanding experience all around. Mauna Lani is a beautiful neighborhood with an outstanding beach club. We spent a lot of time at the beach snorkeling and back out the pool near the condo, which is again, beautiful and relaxing. Though there were certainly more people around in general this year, but didn't feel over crowded. This unit had plenty of space for our family group of 5. Vacasa is a pleasure to work with and always responsive. We had a small issue with the thermostat which was fixed promptly. Love Vacasa and this rental!

We stayed for two weeks. The beds were very comfortable and the ice maker was able to keep up with the six of us. We’ve stayed in the complex before and love it. The gym and pool area are great and access to the private beach is even better.

Great location with access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club. We enjoyed using the BBQ on the patio and the pool just steps away.

My family and I had a wonderful time staying in this lovely condo at Golf Villas. The condo was fully stock with kitchen equipment and appliances. It was clean and spacious. The property manager and team was very helpful when we mentioned that there were no trash bags, which was promptly provided to us that day. The condo was in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. It was close by to Waikoloa village, shopping and pretty beaches. We’d definitely stay here again.

Our stay in the Golf Villas at Mauna Lani was an absolute joy! The location was clean, very well maintained and extremely well appointed. Our friends were in another of the Golf Villas, and D5 was by far better cared for, and better located within the complex. Our kids LOVED the new pool design! The beach club access is brilliant, and there are beach toys for the kids, as well as chairs and other beach equipment in the garage. In addition, our host was incredibly professional and very quick to respond to questions. Check in and check out were a breeze. I cannot be effusive enough in my praise of D5 in the Golf Villas at Mauna Lani. If it's available, book it! If it's not, then change your travel dates in order to stay here... seriously!

We had a wonderful time at this property this past week. It was such a comfortable location providing all the creature comforts our family of four needed. Having the beach club access and pool was such a bonus for us to enjoy the sunset and a hot tub soak after a long day of exploring.
Susanne B.
June 2024

Perfect place for a couple or small family. Ideally located for us, as we love to beach hop and the Waikoloa/Mauna Lani/Mauna Kea area has the best beaches on the island. Home was well stocked with everything we needed, to include umbrellas, a boogie board, and beach chairs. Knowing the amenities were there ahead of time would have definitely saved us some luggage space, but it was good to have it. Very quiet, private and clean location. We will definitely be back.

This unit is nice. Difficult to find and directions given were not to this specific unit so that was confusing. It is very clean and old school island decor that is tasteful. Location is close to pool. Hot tub is not heated. It is pretty well stocked not as well as some locations we have stayed. We had a couple of things that were safety concerns. We were there for my son’s wedding and needed the iron and it is broken and missing safety guard. Some things about this unit Master on suite bathroom has no door. It’s open concept. Be sure to close the blinds. Toilet does have a pocket door. Ventilation is not good. They don’t want you using electricity so we tried to refrain from using the dryer but with the humidity and then trying to dry things, everything seemed damp. It was icky. You are not suppose to hang things on lanai to dry but the people next to us did. So maybe we should have. This unit had very noisy neighbors. Starting at 5:30 in the morning and til :30 at night the heard of elephants above us were trying to get their daily steps in and having gym class. It’s was really loud and hard to sleep. AC doesn’t really carry Over to the bedrooms. Ceiling Fans are nice. Towels are fine but bring beach towels. The ones here are more for children. We had family stying in 4 different units in the resort. 1 in The Villages 3 in the Fairways. Those locations were so much nicer. All of them. All updated. Beautiful. Pool area is nice and hot tin heated. Units stocked!!

The fabulous home (C-5) was immaculate and just as described in its photos. As it is a corner unit, we had wonderful views and a cool breeze. We could see both Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa at the same time. Beach access was a big plus for us. We will definitely return to this unit. The property manager, Amy, was very helpful and sent arrival instructions and follow-ups quickly. We were very impressed by her pleasant manner and determination to make our stay a perfect one.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The hosts were excellent and really had everything you needed in the kitchen and all areas of the condo and in the garage for the beach. We enjoyed many relaxing mornings in the evenings, sitting on the lanai and enjoying breakfast or barbecue dinner. We would definitely stay here again.

Our second trip to this complex. Thus unit had 270* views of the island. Could see the observatories on Mauna Kea one clear morning. Great location, wonderful views and access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club provides fantastic snorkling. We grilled fresh fish and steaks nightly and enjoyed Kona Coffee each morning. Looking forward to our next visit! Amy was great!

We loved your condo in Mauna Lani Golf Villas. There were so many thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home yet on a marvelous vacation. There were so many beach toys, chairs, etc. the convenience to the pool was awesome and being able to go to the Mauna Lani Beach Clyb was fabulous. The beds were super comfy and the ceiling fans were wonderful. Tons of towels and wonderful bathrooms were awesome. Having a washer and dryer was an extra benefit. We watched the sunset sky from the lanai and ate breakfast and listened to the birds every morning there. It is a beautifully decorated vacation home you will so enjoy. We highly recommend this rental. Suzanne is the best and friendly communicator, too.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The spacious unit had everything we needed. The most important things to us while we are in Hawaii are snorkeling, paddle boarding, and relaxing on the beach. This place was PERFECT. I have never found another place in this area that let us have use of the garage. That was a HUGE part of why I will come back to this very unit. I rented a Paddleboard for the week and we could store it in the garage! We didn't even need to rent snorkel gear (we always bring our own masks) but the fins were there for us. Also the beach gear like umbrella, wagon, cooler. You name it. I wanted for nothing! Comfortable beds and beautiful lanai with a nice view. I want to go back! Thank you for the wonderful and relaxing time here!

Unit was very comfortable and clean. Very disappointed that swimming pool and hot tub not available for our entire stay and noise from that pool repair was distracting. We were given a 20 percent refund for this, but it should have been emphasized in the listing in HUGE Print the dates pool would be not available. We did very much enjoy the Beach Club however, and the ocean felt wonderful!

It was great place, nice view of the mountains from the rooms. Lanai is spacious, we enjoyed eating outside . The 2 parking spots were helpful. Foosball gives an added fun activity. Beachgear very adequate. Fitness centers and the pool close by. Amy, the manager , has been exceptionally helpful, replies to questions very promptly. I really do not hesitate to select this property again when back to Kona

This was a perfect location. The unit was just as indicated. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with plenty of dishes, pots and pans, spices, etc. The toiletries were much appreciated and in larger bottles than we expected. I would highly recommend this place!!

This was our second stay at this condo, our first being in 2017, and this visit was just as great as the first. The condo itself was well equipped, from kitchen supplies to lots of beach gear (coolers, chairs, snorkel gear, etc.). The condo was clean and comfortable. The pool area is lovely for a quiet afternoon, and never seemed busy. Access to the beach club is great, easy parking, great restaurant, and perfect for a morning walk around the fish ponds. Our family really enjoyed staying here and we hope to visit again soon!

Our family of five stayed in here for 10 days at the end of March 2024. We absolutely loved this location, the pool, and access to Owner’s Beach. With our young children we spent mornings at the beach and afternoons at the pool which was very clean and well maintained. The quiet location, walks around the beautiful complex, and calm pool environment was really enjoyed, especially after comparison with some of the busy and noisy beach resorts we visited occasionally in Waikoloa. The condo was super clean and stocked with everything we would need for the beach and the pool. We appreciated the convenience of dishwashing pods, laundry soap, food containers and cooler to take snacks to the beach. Anthony and Nicole were very helpful and responsive to our questions and concern when we had trouble with the wifi which was quickly addressed. We had a fantastic experience here and will definitely return!

Our family had a great stay. With 3 kids aged 13, 11, and 8 it was the perfect family spot. Loved our time at the pool and the private beach club! It’s in a great location close to shops and restaurants. Stocked with every beach toy, umbrellas, coolers, etc. Had an issue with the key lockbox being tough to open and the toilet had a small leak - the owners were quick to respond and have it taken care of! 10/10 would stay agin!

April 2024

Very clean, very well stocked, fantastic place for a vacation. We used the pool daily, it was never too crowded. The Foodland Market nearby was great. We definitely will visit again next spring break!

We had a fantastic time. The space was perfect for our family of five. Super easy access to the beach club where our girls enjoyed snorkeling. A 15 minute drive to Hāpuna Beach and boggie boarding. Lots to see and do. We want to come back and would stay here again.

A stay at this home in the Mauna Lani Golf Villas is a great way to enjoy this part of the Island. Most importantly, our host was super communicative and helpful throughout. The home itself was beautiful and fully loaded with all the necessities of a restful and fun vacation by our family of 7 (five adults, an infant and a toddler). We were just steps from the beautiful pool and only a 5 min drive or bike ride to the beach with all the amenities. It's a great swimming beach AND snorkeling spot. The host provided all the bikes and beach toys needed to maximize our use of the pool and beach too. Thank you for helping to make our family vacation one to remember!
