Overall we were extremely happy with our 10 night stay and would definitely stay here again. The main bed was the most comfortable rental bed I have ever slept on. The guest bed was a bit uneven but manageable and we didn't use the twin beds but they seemed like they would be fine for kids. The hosts were very fast and responsive with questions. Everything was as pictured and we had everything needed during our stay and the property is so quiet, it was amazing. The pool and fitness center just behind the building were very nice and clean and barely used by others during our stay. We did not use the actual sports fitness club or pool. Our main reason for always staying in Mauna Lani is to have access to the private beach club, having the key card so you can park at the beach is definitely worth it.

Our group of 5 adults had a wonderful time at this condo! It was thoughtfully supplied with everything we needed for a week's stay: plenty of laundry and dishwasher detergents, paper products, even zip lock plastic bags! There were plenty towels and beach towels, and the kitchen was well supplied for meals in. Included in the rental were four sets of snorkeling equipment, as well as boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and toys.There is a shopping mall as you enter the Mauna Lani Resort that had a nice grocery store (and coffee shop!). It was nice to have parking included, and we drove all over the island. I recommend this condo!

We had the best time on the big island. Condo was as advertised and communication was prompt! Would definitely stay again!

Fantastic fun place to stay, very comfortable. The easy beach access - short drive - was wonderful, and the beach was perfect! A beautiful way to while away the day, with a lovely restaurant and beautiful walks.
Due to some confusion, all on our part, about the booking we had to switch condos in the middle of our stay, but Meredith and Brian and the whole staff couldn't have been nicer and made everything so easy. We can't wait to come back!

Jefferson’s place was everything we were looking for on the Big Island. It was especially helpful that a crib, high chair, and beach wagon was all included - made it so much easier given we were traveling with young kids! The location couldn’t be better. We walked to the beach every day!

Perfect Mauna Lani location, short walk to the beach on lava trail, close to restaurants, hotel amenities and the pool is just outside the patio door.
The unit is great for a couple or family with a few children. Everything is provided for cooking in the unit or for the beach. Hosts responded immediately when needed.
Would choose this location if we return to Mauna Lani.

Family of 5 all adults stayed for a week.
It was spacious enough.
Lots of light with all the windows.
nice views into the mature garden and lava rock. Being on the corner gave us more privacy and more garden views.
Kitchen had most of things one would need. There electric kettle was broken so we had to boil water for coffee each morning. They have a coffee maker but we like to grind and do our on drip coffee thing.
We grilled a few times on the patio and this was nice.
The beds and bedding were comfortable.
The bath linens were ok a little hard, could be nicer.
They provided beach towels. And this unit had coolers, chairs, and umbrellas, plus other things. Very quiet and secure area. We walked to the fish ponds in the mornings and evening and enjoyed the access the beach club.

We had a lot of fun visiting the beautiful island. Jefferson was very helpful and made our stay very welcoming. Our family did many things and the property was beautiful and relaxing. We made new memories and had a great time exploring the many places the island has to offer. I would definitely go again.

Overall the property was good and the managers were very helpful.
The problem I encountered was that the pool was closed for 5 days of my 9 day rental period and I was NOT INFORMED of this at the time of the booking. I spoke with the property site manager who told me that the owners were informed of the week long pool closure 1 year ahead of time with quarterly reminders. This should have been announced on the listing because when I booked 5 months ago, had I known this I would have been forced to choose another property.
Otherwise, the property was clean and pretty well stocked. I would recommend a few extra pots and pans and other large cooking items, but overall ok. Maximum two cars able to park was a bit of a thing as well.
Easy access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club with the pass was nice.

Great condo…we were very surprised that that had shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap and a lot more in the condo for convenience. That came in very handy, because our luggage didn’t come until the next day. The only issue we had was the day before check in we were asked to keep the air conditioner set to 80 degrees while we were out and 78 degrees while in the condo. If we had known before booking, we may not have booked it. I truly understand that everyone Hawaii is very expensive…including electricity. But 78 degrees was not a pleasurable temperature for us. Other than that, it was one of our best stays in a VRBO condo.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home and even lovelier part of Hawaii. Access to the private beach was fantastic!
Why not five stars? Certainly can consider nits but hopefully helpful. The mattress in the master bedroom slouches and my back had trouble with it. The furniture in the living room is particularly squeaky. Not that big a deal (my kids found it funny) but a bit annoying when you reposition yourself.
Overall great stay!

Enjoyed the quiet, the space and AC inside, and the outside lanai with BBQ grill during sunsets. Unit was well-stocked with essentials, including everything we needed in the kitchen during our stay (e.g., plenty of paper towels, trash and zip lock bags, and coffee filters, some seasoning, coffee grinder, blender, and ice). Community pool (pictured) 200 feet away, plus access to resort trails and Beach Club kept us entertained for 4 days. Good instructions and communication with management company. Thanks!

We loved our recent stay at the Palm Villas! Our little ones had a blast in the resort pool, and the access to the beach club was a bonus! We checked out lots of other beaches but always ended up going back to the Beach Club. The property was clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed and then some! We did not cook in the unit as we were busy exploring most days but all the appliances looked new. The property team was so easy to contact and were fast at getting back to us when we needed a late checkout because our flight was a red eye. We enjoyed the proximity to so many different restaurants. We walked to the Auberge Resort and also to the Mauna Lani Coffee shop daily. There were lots of other places in walking distance like Foodland and other retail stores.Highly recommend this to anyone looking to have a relaxed vacation!

Condo was great for my family of 5. Everything you could possibly need was included. Location was great. Pool was wonderful and steps from the front door. Beautiful walking path close by that leads to beach access. The private beach was excellent and a short drive away. Nice having a garage to use. Bikes were fun. Unfortunately a lot of the snorkeling gear was broken but that was no fault to the owners, just the last guests I’m sure. We would stay again for sure if we make it back to the Big Island in the future.

Myself, husband, and 2 teens enjoyed our stay. The teens were happy to each have their own sleeping area. The kitchen was great for making breakfast each morning. It was well stocked with dishes, pots & pans, spices, etc. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub area after long days sightseeing, hiking, and at the beach. The quiet pool area is very relaxing. We did not go to the resort beach, there are a few other really nice beaches close by that we choose to go to so the beach chairs, umbrella, towels, and snorkeling equipment that were provided were a really nice option for us.

This was a perfect condo for our family for the week we were on the Big Island. We had access to an amazing private beach that was a 5 minute drive away with great snorkeling and was never overcrowded. There is a restaurant right off the beach where we had lunch a few times and had great food. There were beach towels provided that were nice quality - I am kind of picky and had brought my own but we used theirs! There is A LOT of beach gear too - snorkel gear, beach chairs, rafts, etc. I highly recommend walking to the beach at least once through the ponds. Beautiful views and is only about 20 minutes. We had planned a couple of longer days at the beach and drove on those days jus so we didn't have to walk after being hot and tired. We used the pool once - can't use speakers at either the pool or the beach at Mauna Lani - only headphones. The pool was very nice and just a very short walk from the condo. The view from the Lanai was amazing - having the market and shops near us were great. Can't say enough about it. We would recommend a stay here again!

Very good location with close proximity to beach and tennis clubs. The owners were conscientious to provide access to some water gear such as snorkels/masks, fins, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels etc. A couple of maintenance issues- garbage disposal didn’t work upon arrival but owner eventually messaged a fix for us to try which solved it. TV in main room and WiFi never really worked. Several light bulbs out in master bath. Overall a positive experience though.

Overall, we had a great stay at this condo, and there are some issues that need attention. The location of the condo within Mauna Lani is excellent, right around the corner from the historic walking path to the beach. Within the lovely, intimate condo complex, this unit is in a nice, quiet location. The condo itself is beautifully decorated and well laid out, with a nice golf course view. Now the issues: the primary bedroom mattress needs replacing. The air conditioner is very loud in the middle bedroom, and my son ended up sleeping on the couch because of this. The cleaning of the linens between guests needs improvement. The bedsheets were clean, but the outer bed linens and kitchen towels were pretty grungy. The freezer door is difficult to close all the way, so just be aware to double check that, and the kitchen could use a tool update, but it is acceptable. Finally, the owners require that the guest was and dry the towels, as well as start the bedsheet laundry before check out, and that is a tall order for a 7am flight. All this said, we would love to stay in this condo again if all or most of these issues are addressed, and despite these issues, still enjoyed our stay very much!
