The place was perfect for a family getaway. Great house, amenities and communication. Would stay here again!

10.0 / 10.0

Hello. First of all, the property was really great and I would consider staying again. For those who might be concerned about the property being close to the shopping center/mall, it is located on the “quiet” side of the mall, where the grocery store is located. The grocery store closes early and there were no issues ever with noise, etc. Additionally, the property is located near the entrance/gate to the community. Initially, I was concerned about this but it turns out that there is a landscaped hill that separates the property from the gate/entrance. Once again, no issues ever with noise, headlights, etc. Keep in mind that there is no view from the property and one has to drive to the beach (or ride the provided bikes). Mahalo for a great property.

We had a great stay! It was large and had more than enough room for 5 adults. It has many spices, bags and oils so you should check before buying. I loved the AC, showers and living room area. They do need to update their microwave and tvs in the upstairs bedrooms. I would definitely stay here again especially with the use of the beach club.

Amazing home in the beautiful gated Villages of Mauna Lani. Four of us had plenty of room to stretch out in this wonderfully appointed two story home. We opted to cook in the spacious kitchen for most of the trip. Plenty of seating for us and another guest family who joined us for dinner a couple of evenings. This home comes with beach access to the private Manua Lani Beach Club. It is perfect for snorkeling or spending a day sunning. The Napua restaurant at the beach club offers cocktails and lunch items and at sunset it transforms into a gourmet restaurant complete with the perfect sunset view. Check in at the home was a breeze and communication was 5 stars with the host! We can't wait to return!

Phenomenal home base for our family of 7 to spend Christmas week on the Big Island. Excellent and prompt communication with the owner leading up to the trip, and a friendly welcome from the host when we arrived. First off, the home was perfect in size, cleanliness and amenities. Loved the outdoor cooking and eating space, kitchen spacious for family meals, and spaces spread out for everyone to take a break from forced family fun time :D Access to the beach club was great (and enjoyed walking down there in the mornings through the lava park by the ponds), and the shops at Mauna Lani (especially the grocery store a few steps away) were super convenient for food, coffee, and the extra outdoor clothing/items which teenagers tend to forget to pack. Location was quiet, peaceful and beautiful, and the short drive access down into town was perfect. Was hard to leave at the end of our trip - amazing property!

This was our first stay on the Big Island. We had originally booked on Maui but then the fire happened and our home was needed to house displaced families so we switched to this island. We were so happy to find this place because it was similar to what we had booked on Maui. We were a family of 6 adults and wanted space to spread out and this was it! Kathryn was fabulous - we arrived late on Thanksgiving night and she was willing to purchase some frozen pizzas and POG for us to leave in the fridge because everything would be closed and we'd be starving when we arrived. But, there is an upscale Food Land literally next door that opened at 6 am the next day so it as easy to get food for breakfast. The house was clean and comfortable. We loved that every bedroom was an ensuite. The beds were very comfy and the air conditioning worked great with separate upstairs and downstairs units. The kitchen was very well equipped and after a run to Costco, we cooked a couple of meals a day at the house. We loved the walls of sliding glass. It was lovely to open them in the morning and evening and catch cross breezes. Bonus that they all had screens to keep the critters out but let the breeze in. We loved this house and the host was the best. I'm a travel agent and will recommend it 100% to anyone looking for a great stay on the Big Island!

Our family of 5 had a terrific stay in this high-end property. We loved its location in the Mauna Lani resort, in direct walking distance to shops and restaurants, and with a great private beach club and pool too. The property itself was well-stocked with all needed amenities and many extras.

Our first time staying in Mauna Lani and this property was outstanding. Very well stocked and in an excellent location! Access to the beach in Mauna Lani and an outstanding pool for our grandkids were two of the highlights! Kathryn was incredibly responsive and one of the best owners we have every dealt with in all of the years we have rented property in Hawaii and in other parts of the world. We will be back!

Our goal was to find a place to thoroughly relax and enjoy Hawaii and we found the perfect place to do it. It was a last minute change and super glad we were able to rent this house. Big enough to spread out and super comfy for all 5 of us to hang together as a family. When we come back we definitely want to stay here. It is a bit of a drive out of Kona, but is nice to be away from all of that. Plus, with access to the private beach, we didn’t need much else. Shopping is a short walk away so everything one needs is right here.

My family vacationed here for a week and it was truly like being in my own “home”! The house was very clean and well stocked… all we had to do is marketing and we were all set. The pools/gym are close by and we walked everywhere. The beaches are close by and absolutely beautiful! We will definitely be back and will stay at this property… Kathryn’s very accessible and accommodating:) 🌺

We loved staying at this rental. The kitchen had everything we needed, garage had all the stuff for the beach(6 chairs, 3 umbrellas, sand toys, 3 big boogie boards, noodles, and more). I loved the proximity to the shopping. Our multiple grocery store runs were 2 minutes away! The beds were so comfortable and I slept like a baby!

My family and I stayed here for a week and one of the biggest benefits for our group was the quick WiFi. We had six adults working full time off of it and never had any issues! Not bad working from paradise. We did experience a few minor hiccups though - the cable TV wasn’t working, the propane tank was out (found a spare in the garage) and there were some old socks + random trash under one of the beds. I think the house could use a deep cleaning. Otherwise, the condo was comfortable and spacious, had all the necessary kitchen tools and was only a ~25 minute walk or a short drive to the beach. We loved the Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrellas.

The house was a perfect fit for my party of 5 that included my mother-in-law. Plenty of space for everyone. Location is perfect, so close to the grocery store and little shops. The house had everything we needed. We had a few little issues right at the beginning on a couple things (no fault of the owner) and the property manager was quick to respond, very helpful and solved the items right away! That was amazing. I would definitely recommend this house for a family. It was the perfect fit!

Epic family 10 night vacation!

This big island pad was perfect for my 4 and 2 year old, the grandparents, and me and hubby. Everyone felt when they wanted some respite, there was enough space and the beds were so comfy. Next time we hope to enjoy the lanai! Grandparents enjoyed that they can pick up poke at Foodland next door and it was such an easy and safe walk. The kids asked for beach time everyday at Makaiwa Bay aka Mauna Lani Beach Club, and the homeowner provides the guest with the access card to enter and park the car close by. The kitchen was perfect, great appliances! The laundry room was also so convenient inside the home. The home provided us with literally everything we needed! Kathryn is a great host and awesome communicator! This big island hale is top notch! Mahalo and aloha! A hui house! Till next year!

Beautiful property and perfect for the 3 couples traveling together. Being our first experience using Vrbo, we were curious as to just what to expect. Happily everything was as listed and the whole process from initial booking to checkout was well defined and easy to follow. A few small issues we’re resolved quickly by the property manager who was readily available and helpful with suggestions and information about the property and amenities. Would definitely stay at this property again.

This house was amazingly well equiped from the kitchen to beach toys! The owner was very accommodating and as stated in the description, the most comfortable couch in Hawaii. We all enjoyed relaxing on the couch after full days at the beach club or pool. Evening dinners using the outside kitchen then a bit of puzzle time in front of big screen. Kids loved the variety of beach toys and there were beach chairs & umbrellas for the adults too as well as very good snorkeling equipment! Some of us brought our own but the rest of the group didn't need to rent equipment. Really a wonderful and relaxing stay at this wonderful property.
