About the host

Hosted by Eric and Polly Fox

Host profile image
We are a family in the San Francisco Bay Area who have loved Hawaii and the Mauna Kea our entire lives. Polly spent 5 years growing up on the island of Oahu. Eric's parents honeymooned at the Mauna Kea when it first opened, and the family vacationed there when he was growing up. We look forward to sharing this magical place with you.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property to enjoy a place where families come once and stay for generations. We loved that this unit had a long and successful rental history, with many guests coming back year after year. It was meaningful to us that so many people have felt the same attraction to Hawaii that we feel.

What makes this property unique

We like to imagine our guests experiencing some of our favorite moments - the simple joy of sitting on the lanai with feet kicked up, sharing the company of loved ones and soaking in a stunning view of a Hawaiian sunset as the sound of the palm tree leaves flutter in the breeze. The condo is spacious and relaxing while providing all of the amenities of two first class resorts.
