It’s hard to overstate what a great property this is. We’ve stayed at other residences at Mauna Kea, but this was by far the best.
The location of the house within the Mauna Kea resort allows for easy access to activities, but much needed privacy at the end of the day for our family to enjoy preparing a meal together then enjoying it on the lanai.
If you like to cook, the property is well stocked with both cooking appliances/utensils and basic spices. There were also beach chairs for day trips to the beach, and lounge chairs to float in the pool.
Diana, the owner, and Kathleen, the property manager, were incredibly responsive during the weeks leading up to the stay and during the stay itself. I use the word ‘experience’ in the title because this turned out to be more than just a vacation stay at a house. They sought feedback about what we needed after arriving, and asked for our ideas to improve the experience for future guests. Our party of 7 could not come up with a single thing we would change.
We are big fans of adding the Mauna Kea Resort access option, but this property will make us rethink that for future stays since there is plenty of beach gear and the infinity pool was so inviting.
