Full of great amenities, pool and hot tub. Never heard from property manager which would have been helpful to answer questions about the high end gizmos in the house, e.g. the DeLongi espresso machine. Very comfortable and extremely quiet part of the neighborhood. While the house is over 20 years old, it has been very well maintained. Took advantage of the golf package which is a nice added amenity.

So excited to hear that you had a great vacation. It is hard to let a potential visitor know what makes our home so special and unique. It is truly a home, complete with luxury bedding, kitchen supplies and more. Look forward to hosting you again.

Amazing! We have been to Hawaii many times and this house is one of the best we stayed in. It was very spacious and we loved that it was a single story home. The house was very clean and in a great, quiet area. The pool and hot tub were also amazing. The house had everything we needed and so much space. One of the best spots of the house was the outdoor shower! We would highly recommend this home!

Thank you so much. So happy your family had a wonderful trip! We too love the privacy of our home as well as the close accessibility to restaurants, groceries, shops, beach and golf. But the outdoor shower area is a highlight! Look forward to your return!
Our family returned to this beautiful Mauna Lani home for another visit to the Big Island, and once again we could not have more happy with the experience from beginning to end. The home and property are better than ever, with impeccable attention to detail inside and out. We love staying near to our favorite beaches and getaway adventures around the island. And the off days spent relaxing at home here were a vacation within a vacation. There's nothing I would ask to change about the property or the quality of the experience overall, and I expect we'll get a chance to visit the Big Island, and this lovely home, again before too long!

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments! I love having repeat visitors, and people that appreciate they are staying in a home vs an empty rental unit. It definitely adds to your hawaiian experience. I continually improve the property from the inside out.
Look forward to hosting you again soon! Send your friends.
The home is incredible and very well amenitized. I will be coming back next year.

First trip to the big island and everything exceeded my expectations. The house was great and the pool perfect for our young kids. Wished we could have stayed longer!
A beautiful well appointed home that was perfect for our week away. The pool area was very private and neighborhood quiet. Large kitchen with everything you need. Close proximity to restaurants, store and beach. Outdoor shower is awesome!!
This beautiful home had EVERYTHING you could ever need for your vacation. It is gorgeous and was perfect for our family vacation. The beach club access was great too. Just know, if you want to use the tennis and fitness center, it's pricey.

The house was the cleanest and most well-stocked vacation rental we've ever stayed in. Quiet and well kept neighborhood close to everything. It was truly exactly like the pictures show. We had a great time and are ready to book again for next year.

Thank you so much. We want everyone to enjoy Hawaii and our home! It makes all the effort and enjoyment of vacation so much better. Aloha.
The home is beautifully decorated with everything Hawaii is. It is fully stocked with everything you need and is nothing less than immaculate. The property manager is WONDERFUL and the location is perfect. We truly enjoyed this private home from its comfort to its elegance. We have visited the island many times before and this home made this year’s return the best yet. We can’t wait to come back!

The place was outstanding. Perfect location and I have never stayed in a house with a better stocked kitchen. We cooked in every night and it was a perfect way to celebrate turning 50. Laura and Kathi were great and easy to communicate with. We will stay again at this property.

This was our second time staying in this lovely well stocked home. Close to beach, stores and restaurants the location is perfect! The house has everything you need for a fun vacation. The beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards were great to have for our days at the beach. The pool area and lanai were private and well maintained. The outdoor shower was loved by all! We really felt at home. Thank you for a memorable family vacation!

Thanks Scott! I’m so happy that your family enjoys our home. It sounds like you do as much as we do. The outdoor shower is a hit with us as well, particularly after a quick swim or hot tub. Looking forward to your next visit when we have our golf membership discounts available for our guests!!
The house was better than expected! The location was perfect for us, close to the beaches we wanted to visit and plenty of shopping. It was secluded yet just 30 minutes from Kona which we spent plenty of time visiting. If we ever come back to the big island I would not hesitate to stay again. Thank you so much!

Beautiful house ! From the moment we all walked in we felt relaxed, like being at home. The property exactly as described, maybe better. Well stocked with family games and beach needs. We enjoyed the access to the beach club, great for kids and adults to snorkel, also great food.
Easy check in process and very detailed book for guests. There was 6 adults and 2 toddlers, perfect for all of us.
Loved the outdoor shower in the master bedroom !!!

We stayed at Laura's beautiful Mauna Lani home for an extended vacation on the Big Island and enjoyed every moment of the visit. The home and property are just perfect. Beautifully maintained, exceptionally well-equipped (seriously, among the best we've ever seen), the location up north on the coast was great for us, the amenities and access to the beach club was a nice bonus, and the checkin process and communication was top-notch throughout. We had no problems whatsoever the entire visit, and would gladly stay in Laura's home again on our next return to the Big Island.
Family of four stayed in this lovely home. Very private, quiet and peaceful. Single level home a huge plus over two story homes in the area. We love to cook at home and this is the best stocked kitchen on the Big Island. We’ve stayed on Mauna Lani property for past 18 summers. This has been our most favorite property. Very gracious host and would definitely come back. Thank you.

The house is very large and on one floor which was important to me and my arthritic knee. It was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean and had everything we needed on first arrival.The location is great--- in walking distance to the shops of Mauni Lani and a short drive to the Beach Club and the outstanding golf courses of Mauna Lani Golf .The pool which is not very deep or long was perfect for my 4 and 7 year old grandchildren. If you wish to swim laps ,there is the community pool.We used the grille on 3 different nights while enjoying the lanai.The backyard has a view of the 13 th hole of the North Course. Despite a large tree in the back of the yard, we could still enjoy nightly sunsets.At 79 , I doubt I will enjoy this beautiful vista again , but perhaps my son and his family who were with us will return again since his wife grew up in Hawaii and has family in Honolulu.

About the host
Hosted by Laura
Aloha, I am the mother of 3 great young adults, the wife of an Australian fireman, and a 33-year business owner of a fantastic media-buying agency, CCMedia. I love the Aloha of Hawaii and all of its wonderful sensations. We love to share our home with those who desire an Aloha spirit-filled vacation.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this home because we love the Big Island for all of the fabulous snorkeling, diving, fishing, whales and more. This home is special. You will feel the aloha spirit inside and outside of the home. Your vacation will be one you will remember and want to repeat forever.
What makes this property unique
We love the Aloha of Hawaii. This is a home, not an empty rental place. In addition to providing substantial golf discounts to two of the best courses on the island, we have decorated the home in luxury Hawaiian styles to make you feel comfortable but know you are in Hawaii. The wood, the art, and the wallpaper all add to a wonderful Aloha. We love to cook and entertain, especially with the farmers markets all over the island. This kitchen is spacious enough for a few of us to be working in the kitchen. The open doorway makes your indoor living outdoors and vice versa, so you are one with the lanai, pool, and view. It is easy enough to relax and lounge by the pool, BarBQ, and play games, or if you need to work while on long Hawaii stays, the desk and office space will give you room to do just that, without impacting everyone.
