Exceptional. What a lovely property. Check-in was a breeze. Beautiful pool with views and the house and kitchen is fully stocked with essentials. We were a party of 9 and each would be so happy to return to this property. I cannot say enough good things. Diana was easy to communicate with and Kathleen, the property manager, went above and beyond. We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset views every evening. It was a perfect family vacation.

Great stay

This place is stocked very well. We had 10 ladies and spent the majority of our time in the amazing outdoor space eating, swimming, and having fun. The view is to die for. We also played tennis and Pickleball at the MK and spent most of our time on the beach. I love the MK... one of my favorite beaches on Earth!

Perfect Home for our Extended Family Vacation

Our extended family rented two homes in the Mauna Kea Residences for our recent December vacation, and it was a wonderful stay in all ways. This home was so comfortable and inviting; it was well-stocked, the pool was a highlight for grandparents all the way down to our youngest 3 year old, and the suite with separate entrance was very convenient for the family with young children. We enjoyed use of both the Hapuna and Mauna Kea resorts as well. There is so much to do and see on the big island, but you wouldn't need to leave this home or the resort to have a beautifully complete vacation.

Wonderful House

This was one of the nicest houses we have stayed at on the big island. The pool/patio area was laid out very nice with plenty of move for everyone. The kitchen was well organized and stocked with items. House was very clean. Towels and bedding were very nice. We would definitely stay here again. Kathleen the property manager was a great help to us and even did some grocery shopping so we had a good start when we arrived.

Beautiful, spacious, perfect. We love it

This property is one of the best on the Big Island. The views and the backyard are just incredible. The home is well appointed and spacious. We wouldn't stay anywhere else. Kathleen who manages the property is available if you need her, and has our groceries stalked and ready to go. The owner is very thorough and avaible as well. We love it.

Amazing Hawaii experience

We had a truly lovely time at this house. We managed to fit 10 people, including 4 kids, without it ever feeling too crowded. The kitchen was well stocked, the property manager was super nice, and above all else -- the pool & view are incredible. We saw the best sunset of our lives one night. Having access to the two nearby resorts was also a big plus for the kids. That's an added cost, but was definitely worth it for us. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful home at Mauna Kea

We gathered at this well appointed property with three generations to celebrate an 80th birthday. The home is stocked with anything and everything you need. This layout is perfect to hang out, swim & sun, and also host a small birthday celebration with a private chef. The view to the ocean is beautiful and the golf course setting is peaceful. We enjoyed the Mauna Kea and Hapuna Prince beach amenities daily. Our favorite meal out was at the Kuleana Rum Shack in Queen’s Marketplace- delicious craft cocktails and great food.

My Husband's 60th Birthday in Paradise!

We rented this home for my husband's 60th birthday celebration, and were very pleased with the accommodations, and also so happy for the wonderful service provided by both the owner (via original vrbo chat) and the concierge, Kathleen - just very responsive and helpful, thank you! The home is advertised exactly how it is - it truly is set up beautifully. The kitchen is well-equipped, which was helpful as we hired a private chef (recommended by the concierge)...The backyard is lovely - the pool, the hot tub, the patio...all perfect. The beds are so comfortable, the owner thought of everything! We hope to be back soon...Mahalo!!!

Family vacation

We spent 8 nights at this home. We vacationed with my wife, daughter and mother, along with my in-laws. The house was perfect for our party of 7. We cooked in the kitchen and bbq for 5 of the nights and the place was setup perfect for it. Everything you needed was there. Excellent bbq. The house is nice and modern and spacious. The backyard is incredible! Wow. We spent so many days and evenings hanging in the backyard. It was a special gathering place, especially for the sunsets. The property manager was very responsive. We highly recommend this home. Amazing vacation!!

A true getaway!

This was our 8th trip to Big Island. We specifically wanted this area and a private pool with property that was maintained. The property and its condition met all of our expectations and the pool exceeded them! Additionally, sheets, towels and beds were all comfortable and not worn. Definitely will try to rent on our next trip. We only had 4 of us but it was nice to have all the space. The kitchen was the best equipped and appliances were all top notch of any home we have ever rented. Since we wanted to chill and we all cook it was appreciated! My only suggestion for improvement would be to add a bag of ice to the freezer! Certainly not a complaint. Sunsets were spectacular and golfers were occasional and far enough away that it was not intrusive, but occasionally entertaining! It was a true getaway. We opted not to use the resort facilities and did not regret that decision.

Incredible Experience

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.
