Mauna Lani Magic

Fantastic time at Mauna Lani - we used our stay to 'beach' and explore the northern end of the Island. This house is REALLY well equipped with beach and street toys - no need to buy or rent. Very well thought out offering.

Aloha Peter! Mahalo for your kind words! We’re so glad you had a fantastic time at Mauna Lani and enjoyed exploring the north side of the island.

We’d love to host you again on your next Big Island adventure.

Plenty of room

We enjoyed a family reunion at this wonder house. Five adults and 4 children and there was lots of privacy, with 2 master suites and 2 other bedrooms, all big and beautifully furnished. Very big kitchen with everything one needs for cooking, plus a great bbq grill right on the lanai. Kids had a blast going to the pool just a few steps away. Our vacation was wonderful and we will certainly recommend this home to others. We will be back!

Great Place to Land

We were traveling with 6 adults (3 couples) and two children. The set up was great! The layout of the bedrooms was great. The kids getting up didn't wake up everyone. The Beach Club was a great place for everyone. The young kids had a low wave shoreline. The adults could snorkel.

Mauna Lani

Good townhouse with very thin floor and bad acoustics, obviously rented a lot - not a huge attention to detail and inflexible management on items such as check out - given steep Xmas pricing, I expected a little more from house. Also bbq is old and worked so so

We pride ourselves on providing the best homes and best guest services. We would have been happy to provide a later checkout time however there were other guests arriving the same day so our cleaners needed to prepare the home for that family. Unfortunately the guest did not let us know about any issues they were having with the BBQ grill. After they checked out we were cleaning and testing the BBQ and discovered a malfunctioning regulator which we easily changed. Our team is in the resort every day and will assist with items. This model of home which is a paired home is extremely popular as being a 4 bedroom in the resort near the Big Island's best beaches. The KaMilo homes are well constructed and a favorite among guests.

Ohana treasure and sand castle villa

We came with all 19 of us, children and grandchildren, and booked two houses. They are the same floor plan, very family friendly! They are clean and well stocked-port a crib, high chair, toiletries, spices and cookware! The sand castle villa even has a motorized spit for the grill to roast pineapple (it was delicious!) We realized on our first day, a Sunday, that the washing machine in one of the homes wasn’t working, so I texted the management company and they sent someone out that day. When they said the washer couldn’t be fixed, they offered us the use of an empty property until it could be replaced. They came out and replaced it the next day! They responded quickly to every question or request. The grounds are beautiful, the pools are nice, and the mauna lani beach club is perfect for the little kids, and awesome for snorkelers! We saw sharks, eels, octopus…honestly some of the best and easiest snorkeling I’ve done in Hawaii! And for the older kids, Hapuna beach is just a few minutes away, great for boogie boarding, body surfing, and jumping in the waves! Close to shopping and restaurants, far from the noise and crowds of downtown! We loved our stay and can’t wait to book again!

B plus vacation.

Great place. Location a little isolated from lots of other places but very nice if you don’t want to travel to southern part of the island. Distance to anywhere outside the immediate village was at least 30 minutes. One must understand this is the BIG island. Shortcomings: snorkel gear was either broken or is disarray and except for one adult set was basically unusable. When alerted, the property manager did bring one new adult set and two sets for small children. Didn’t really help us much as we had 8 adults and 2 teens, both of whom were larger than some adults. The bicycles had flat tires except for one. When alerted, the property manager came and pumped up the tires of the one good bike, leaving the other two flat. Tip for the next travelers: If something isn’t working or is broken, alert manager immediately. That way you can at least enjoy the equipment while there. We waited, and by the time we alerted the manager, we lost out because the hurricane winds closed all the beaches. All things considered, we enjoyed the island, enjoyed the sights and national parks, and marveled at the difference in rugged beauty from the other islands we’ve visited. Just know, this island isn’t like the others. The beaches are small, rockier, and therefore crowded.

Thank you very much for the detailed feedback! We have a team of property care and guest support individuals in the resort 365 days a year and when guests let us know of issues we work to address them as soon as possible. You are definitely correct is saying it is a very big island!! That is why it is so diverse and truly a wonder to visit.

Beautiful & Spacious!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a beautiful house, property and location. The pool is right down the road and easy to get to. Rooms are large and it fit our party of 10 very comfortably. I appreciated the property management greeting us before our arrival and letting us know they were "a text away" if we needed any help. We were short 3 beach towels for our party and they brought them within an hour of texting. (Great service!) The book of ideas to do while on the island was very helpful as well. The grill on the deck, extra propane bottle and beach gear in the garage was so handy for our large group as well! There was also plenty of kleenex, paper towels and toilet paper. We would definitely stay here again! The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star review was because: 1) The picture showed 6 bikes and we had 6 kids! However, there were only 4 bikes and we could not get two more even when we asked. 2) The carpets, baseboards, and couches could use a good shampoo/scrub down. For the most part, it was very clean. However the shower curtain in the bathroom downstairs was very dirty, bath mats could have been washed, and carpet shampooed. 3) The surrey bike was broken. Again, something that was in the pictures that we couldn't take advantage of. It was broken and they said the part was there, it just didn't get fixed in time to use it. I'm sure it will be ready for the next people that want to use it!

Wow, it really sounds like Sand Castle was a great home base for your stay on the Big Island. The home and the area have so much to offer and it seems that you truly made the most of your stay! We routinely get the carpets and upholstery shampooed and take pride in providing our guests with a clean and comfortable stay. We have discussed this feedback with our team. We hope that you and your family had a relaxing stay with us.

Great home for our grown up family vacation

We are a large group now with 3 married kids and 1 grandchild. We wanted to get away to the island of Hawaii and comfortably stay all together. This was the perfect space for us - clean, nicely furnished, fully stocked kitchen since we like to cook, and a great neighborhood with pools and exercise room that our athletic kids used a lot. There were beach towels and chairs that we used every day and plenty of sand toys for our granddaughter. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

Perfect Location / Great Pool

The location of this property was perfect. Close to some very nice beaches, shopping and grocery stores. The pool was beautiful and only a short walk from the house. House came stocked with everything you need for the beach, including sand toys and plenty of towels. The kitchen was a little short on everyday supplies; like a cookie sheet, but overall, we had a great time. Beds were very comfortable and the layout of the house worked great for our group; 5 adults and 2 kids. Property managers responded quickly to needs / requests as well.

Sand Castle Group Trip

We had a group of 8 staying at Sand Castle for a friend's wedding, and the property is amazing. Perfectly comfortable for 8 (could have fit 10). The kitchen had everything we needed to make some big meals together, everything felt updated and taken care of, and the keypad entry made checking in and getting in and out a breeze. The pool and workout facilities were high quality too. Would definitely stay here again.

This home was just the right size for us, 4 adults and 5 kids ranging in age from 3 to 8. Beach gear was all there in the garage which was super helpful. pool was close by, and beach club and beaches also just a short drive away. It was great to have the lanai to have breakfast in the morning, and the kitchen to have all the amenities as well, even a rice cooker! such an amazing vacation, thank you!

Lovely and Comfortable Home for families

We had 6 adults/ 3 children, and the Sand Castle Villa was just perfect. All the beds were very comfortable and having the garage full of chairs, umbrellas, bikes, boogie boards and snorkel gear made life easy. The Mauna Lani beach club was perfect for our little ones and an easy 10 min. drive away. We enjoyed the large kitchen, as well as the outdoor BBQ and had most of our dinners at home. Although we didn't get to swim in the community pool, we did use the gym, which is an easy 5 min. walk within the complex. We would definitely go back, and highly recommend staying at the Sand Castle Villa.
