About this house rental
When Laurance S.Rockefeller opened the Mauna Kea Resort in 1965, it was a new level of luxury for its hotel guests and now the guests of residential homeowners. Times have changed! At that time, Trent Jones Sr. was challenged to build a course on lava bluffs, but met that challenge and was honored by his son, Trent Jones Jr. decades later with an update to his father's design. Later, Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay stepped up to the task by creating an 18-hole course at The Hapuna Prince Beach Hotel now known as the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort, a part of the Mauna Kea Resort.
Welcome to the Mauna Kea Resort!
Enjoy this beautiful relaxing vacation home in the exclusive gated community of Moani Heights. It is geared towards kids and family who are wanting to explore the Big Island and perhaps take advantage of purchasing resort access and amenities through the membership of the homeowner.
This home offers a complete kitchen with updated cabinets, new applicances, granite counter tops, appliances and working desk to page through a local recipe book. With ocean views from the kitchen, living room, and dining area, the lanai doors open to casual seating, lounge chairs for bathing, a BBQ and rattan dining set all flanked by a huge pool and hot tub. Heated pool and hot tub available at a daily fee.
This 3 bedroom, 3 bath home is situated on an acre providing a grand presence within the neighborhood. Each master king (2) offers a private full bathroom with shower, soaking tub, private toilet room and walk-in closet. Step outside through the lanai doors where you will have a private lounge area or a straight line to the massive hot tub.
The 3rd queen bedroom has an adjoining shower bathroom, and overlooks the entrance courtyard lined with plumeria trees. All bedrooms and two bathrooms were recently updated with new flooring.
The spacious media room with its own stand-alone air conditioning is where the fun will be, leaving the formal living room for those who want quiet while watching the spectacular sun rise and sun sets! The media room sleeps an additional 2 people and is a great place for the kids! High ceilings, tile floors, ceiling fans, and a large flat screen TV with cable is where everyone will want to be at the end of the day. Plenty of books and games for the entire family!
It is our sincere hope that you will build a tradition through the years, making the Mauna Kea Resort your home away from home through one generation after the other.
Effective April 2024 to November 2024 the Mauna Kea will be enhancing their hotel. They are still open. Full beach and amenity access still prevails. The Westin Hapuna Golf Course remains open, while the Mauna Kea course is getting a make-over. Daily fees are published under house rules. Rates are updated annuallly.

The house was gorgeous, beautiful layout, and immaculate. The pool and spa clean, warm, and so fun to swim in and star gaze at night! The location and access to the resorts was amazing. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough! We'll be back :)

This is our second stay at Hikialani. It's our favorite house on the island. Lots of room for everyone with a large pool and hot tub. We used the amenities at Hapuna Beach and Mauna Kea everyday. We like to visit Waimea, Honokaa and Hilo. We had everything we needed at the house. We even used the cooler so we could keep our food cold from the Hilo Farmers Market.

The house was even more beautiful than the pictures. I enjoy resorts - this has changed the way that I will vacation in the future. The house was so clean and the pool & hot tub was wonderful. Donna answered every question within moments of me texting her. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the cooking essentials. I want to thank the owners for allowing us the opportunity to rent their beautiful home in paradise.

It was a beautiful home and ample space for four adults and two kids under 10 years. The views were breathtaking however, pool was not cleaned before we arrived. My family and I cleaned it ourselves on the first night. I liked the fact that the depth was safe for the little ones. The heating between hot tub and pool malfunctioned during the first two days. After some back and forth texting (lol many text messages assuring the manager we were following the instructions) , Donna herself came out to fix it with the handyman. The pool was fixed and cleaned.
Bring kitchen supplies. Be sure to bring basic supplies ie sugar, coffee filters, citronella candles etc. I noticed that swim gear was available ie snorkel gear but make sure to clean them well and check they work. We got out to the beach and realized their snorkel masks needed to be replaced. Easy fix via renting equipment on the beach.
Hapuna’s beach does not disappoint at all! Treat yourself to a cabana! Remember that when you rent this home an additional $165 per night will be charged for resort amenities automatic at the end of the stay, Irrespective if you use the resort amenities or not. Just be aware of that. I will say the resort amenities are stellar and we enjoyed ourselves.
Overall, I think Donna tried her best with communicating with us but we could tell she was very busy. It was a nice stay and everyone enjoyed themselves for the most part. We will likely find another place next time because of communication issues, timeliness to fix house concerns, cleanliness, and resort fees.
