❤️PiH❤️ Coastal Dreams Villa ★ Ocean Front ★ Walk to Private Beach Club ★ Bikes

Brought to you by Paradise in Hawaii Luxury Homes

Ocean Front - Heated Pool - Bikes - Watch Whales (in season) - 3 Bedrooms!!!!

Welcome to Coastal Dreams Villa, part of our Hawaiian Luxury Collection. Directly on the signature hole of the world-renowned Mauna Lani South course, Coastal Dreams Villa offers stunning ocean, golf and sunset views.

Many vacation rentals claim ocean views but often they are tiny peek-a-boo glances. This home has it all, the only thing between your lanai and the ocean is one of the best golf holes in all Hawaii.

Located in the prestigious Mauna Lani Point, this is one of the few complexes where you can easily walk to the Mauna Lani Private Beach Club. The beach club offers chairs, cabanas, sheltered waters for snorkelling and paddle-boarding, as well as Napua Restaurant and Bar for lunch or dinner. Coastal Dreams Villa is also adjacent to the private Heated Pool complex which has a beautiful surrounding garden.

We pride ourselves on providing some of the most sought after homes on the Kohala Coast. We have partnered with the owners of Coastal Dreams Villa to not only provide a home with one of the best views on the coast, but a home that is exceptionally well-equipped for your holiday.

Coastal Dreams Villa provides a perfect setting for your Hawaii getaway and is designed for groups of up to 6 people. It is a sophisticated, inviting, welcoming, relaxing, luxurious home for your Hawaiian vacation.

Fast WiFi with great coverage included!

We know our Guests look forward to an exceptional experience from the moment you start planning your Big Island vacation.
We've incorporated all our vacationing experiences from Hawaii and around the world, to ensure you have an exceptional stay!

We love friends & families!

Big Island is such a wonderful place to spend time with your friends, family, children and grandchildren. Vacations create such wonderful memories; we hope this trip will be one of your fondest family memories and that you'll return year after year.

Coastal Dreams Villa is a single-level condo on the ground floor with 3 bedrooms. The first Primary Bedroom overlooks the ocean with a new King bed and luxury spa-like ensuite complete with a soaker tub.
The second bedroom comes with two TwinXL beds that can be combined into a single King bed with gel topper to provide the utmost in flexibility for families. The third bedroom is equipped with a queen bed.

From the living room or dining room watch the golfers on one of the most famous holes in Hawaii. During winter you can watch Humpback whales play just off the shoreline.

You can even walk down to a private beach to go snorkeling with the free gear we provide.

A short walk away is famous 49 Black Sand Beach.

A new large screen Ultra HD 4K TV.

Beyond building an elegant, yet comfortable furnished home, we know it's often the small surprises and conveniences that make all the difference.

• Luxurious high-end bedding for all beds
• Luxurious towels
• In-home private laundry
• Spa shampoo, conditioner and body wash

• Boogie boards to enjoy playing in the waves
• Life jackets, swim belts for the younger ones

Ask us about deals on a GEM Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (Golf cart) rental for even more family fun.

• Pack 'n Play
• High chair
• Baby monitors
• Bed safety rails

Things to do:

Staying in Mauna Lani Point gives you full access to its private pool and spa hot tub. This home is in building D which is the closest to the pool complex.

You can also take advantage of the clean private beach club staffed with lifeguards and the Napua Restaurant just two miles away. Excellent snorkelling in calm waters!

A short drive away are six of the most spectacular beaches in Hawaii including Beach 69, Hapuna beach and the breathtaking Mauna Kea beach.

The Kohala coast is a golfer's paradise with seven challenging courses all within seven miles of our villa.

Minutes down the street is the Shops at Mauna Lani where you can find supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants, clothing and accessory stores, art, and free weekly entertainment in the evenings.

Coastal Dreams Villa is within the Mauna Lani resort, close to both Auberge and the Fairmont Orchid Hotels.

Family Christmas

We stayed at this Villa with our two adult children. The home was spacious with great amenities and a view that took our breath away. Every day we watched golfers tee off from the 15th hole of Mauna Lani South. We also had multiple days of whale watching offshore. It was a perfect spot for our trip.

Coastal Dreams

Overall the property and amenities were amazing. Waking up each morning with an unobstructed ocean view is the way to start the day. The unit was just as described and the owners/property management were easily reached. One thing to note is that it is about a 35 minute drive into Kona but worth it if your looking to retreat and decompress from the daily grind.

Coastal Dreams Was Exceptional!

Coastal Dreams was exceptional. The property was really nice and the location overlooking the golf course and ocean were perfect. We didn’t realize how nice the Beach Club access was but that was a great value in itself... What a bonus! Our family spent a lot of time just relaxing at the property and at the Beach Club. Taking in the sunsets was one of our favorites as well, and the home is also in close proximity to some of the best beaches on the island. Mahalo, we could not have asked for a better vacation.

Condo is in an amazing quiet location with a fabulous view of the water. The hosts are fantastic, the kitchen is amply stocked, and toys/leisure extras are perfect. We spent every morning on the patio in the comfy chairs listening to the ocean and drinking coffee. The community is conveniently located close to shops and beaches.

Hard to Beat

This condo is excellent. We’ve stayed all over the Kohala coast, and this is now our favorite. The resorts are fun; we’ve stayed at the Four Seasons, the Fairmont and the Westin. We’ve rented other condos and houses in great neighborhoods. But this is the best experience for the money we’ve found. The location and views are superb. Much better than pictures can show. The kitchen is well stocked. I cooked fresh fish every night. There is a ton of beach gear to borrow. It is a quiet neighborhood. It is a treat to have covered parking. I read the few negative reviews on this property, and can report they must have been submitted by folks lacking a bit of common sense. This place is amazing. We are super picky, and we will be back.

Amazing view

We had a beautiful view of the golf course and noticed that golfer after golfer after golfer, stood on the green and took a picture. We found out later that this was one of the most photographed golf holes in the country. We didn’t know that before we booked. The view was that spectacular. Another thing that we didn’t know and were delighted to find out was about the private beach access. When we arrived at our place, there was a white access card, that allowed us to go to a phenomenal private beach. When we got there, we were blown away. There’s also an amazing restaurant at the private beach, which was one of our favorite places we went to during our entire stay. The snorkeling there was great, and it was very easy to walk into the water or sit on the sand on the beach. this was a very enjoyable vacation for us.

Book this condo, if only for the view

This was our 3rd visit to the Big Island, having previously stayed in Waikoloa Village and at another home within the Mauna Lani Resort. We were not converts to the Big Island until this visit, staying at the Coastal Dreams villa. The location is next level - unobstructed views of the ocean/sunsets, short walk to the Mauna Lani snorkel beach and closest building to the Mauna Lani Point pool. There is also a spectacular snorkel opportunity off of the golf course.We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I traveled with my 80year old parents who were very comfortable in this condo. The space plan of the condo is very efficient - bedrooms are a nice size and it was perfect for our 3 person party. The kitchen is basic and small but worked well for us. I was worried that it would not be cool enough as the AC would not go below 72 degrees but guess what? That was plenty cool for us. While we brought our own, there is plenty of snorkel equipment and beach/pool supplies in the storage unit that comes with the condo. Bring your own pillow if you are a sensitive sleeper (like me). The property management company was very quick to respond to one minor issue with one of the bathrooms and hopefully by the time this review is published, the noise from the dryer has been fixed.Otherwise, enjoy the heck out of this condo. When we return to the island, we will not doubt book this location again. It was absolutely fantastic.

It's hard to beat the views....

The views, as the other reviews mention, are perfect! The condo itself is o.k. The bikes are broken, and when we called about the surrey bike we were told it doesn't exist? the kitchen is very small so you can manage but if you have a group of 5 or more it's a bit tight. Also be careful of the oddly placed steps as you walk out to the lanai. We all missed them and luckily no one got hurt. Also, bring your own toilet paper as we were only provided 2 rolls. Speaking of bathrooms there is a very strange set up in the master bath where the toilet is not in the bathroom but rather in the bedroom. Also, it felt odd that we paid for a cleaning fee but were given a list of "laundry" items to do before we left. But all of that aside.....just step outside and look at the views and all the wierdness of this condo fade away.

Aloha Anna Marie, We are glad you had a nice trip to Hawaii. The bikes were not broken but were in the bike rack outside. The Surrey Family bike absolutely exists and is available without costs to any of our guests who request it in advance if it is not being used by other families or in for maintenance. The home was equipped with 3 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom (total 9 rolls) which is sufficient for most guest stays. The toilet is in a water closet for privacy like many master bathrooms. We do provide an interactive 3D tour that lets all guests tour the home as if they are there in advance of their trip. The departure list is as simple as asking people to take out their trash to the bin outside and start a load of beach towels to help ensure the next guests are not delayed with their checkin. Most guests don't mind tossing their beach towels in the private laundry in the home. This is a stunning home and one of the very few so close to the ocean front and overlooking the signature golf hole at the world class Mauna Lani south course.

Beautiful location

The condo is in the best location at Mauna Lani Point. Every night we enjoyed sitting outside and watching the sunset. There were a few repairs needed to the condo. When we arrived we found: 1.the primary bathroom toilet not working, 2.the refrigerator was in need of defrosting (a huge block of ice formed in the back) All food froze when placed in the refrigerator, 3.the sliding glass doors were so difficult to open you needed your full body weight. I called maintenance and they sent someone, but he was unable to fix any of the problems during our stay. The day we left they were running around trying to fix things for the next occupants. I wish the people who rented before us let management know. These were obvious problems. All in all we had a lovely time and got used to salad "icicles ".

A great experience with some minor maintenance issues

This is a prime location with a beautiful view of the signature hole of the Mauna Lani golf course. The kitchen is small, as shown in the photos. When we arrived we put our groceries in the refrigerator, only to notice later that it wasn't working. We then noticed a second refrigerator in the dining area. I see now a review from December that mentions the broken refrigerator. It would have been nice to know up front. More information on a few things in the listing: The bikes available are for one adult and one child. Judging by their condition, they had not been ridden or maintained in a while (also mentioned in a recent previous review). The shower curtain in the third bath is held up by a spring loaded temporary rod that fell down when the wall got wet. It knocked my daughter in the head more than once. Finally, the "Private Beach Club (access included)" does not include access to the fitness center at the Private Beach Club unless you are on their list. We texted the property managers, who were responsive on other issues but not on this one. Overall, a great experience with some minor maintenance issues.

Thank you so much for your feedback, we appreciate you taking the time to do so. We are so glad that you enjoyed the stunning views from the home! We have since implemented a new system where the housekeepers and inspectors who follow afterwards now use a detailed 100 item checklist for each clean. We also are always willing and able to address these items during your stay had they been brought to our attention. It was a pleasure to host you and your family.

Coastal Dreamy

Location, location, location. We could see and hear the waves. We saw a whale our first day. First the spout and then a full breach. Sunsets were sublime. The 10 minute walk to the beach was fine and as advertised. Proximity to the pool, hot tub, and community party kitchen and bbq facilities was ideal. We discovered a bicycle our last day and wish we'd known it was there and would have been nice if there was more than one. Also, it's rusty and needs a servicing. The refrigerator was broken when we arrived and while the management company was quick to respond, they only sent their in-house maintenance man the next day, who had no ability to fix a refrigerator. He was sent to confirm the fridge was indeed broken, which is irritating because I'm certainly capable of diagnosing a refrigerator that isn't cooling, viewing a temperature reading of 67 degrees and a blinking service light. Rather than fix the fridge, they sent an additional one the second day that sat in the dining area for our entire stay. We had purchased $350 in groceries, but there was no offer for a refund. The bed linens didn't stay on the bed. The thermostat cannot be turned down below 72 degrees. 71 at night would have been more comfortable. I understand people who don't know how to use a thermostat properly and waste electricity by over-cooling, but we're not those people. Overall, still 5 stars, but just trying to offer some constructive criticism for improvement. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful condo.

We realize the issue with the fridge was not ideal, we did our best to remedy the situation in a timely manner. We are so pleased that you found the location to be convenient. We strive to create a great guest experience and we are thrilled that you had a nice stay. We truly hope that you get to come back one day!

Dangerous

We stayed in this unit for two weeks this March 2023 and while we agree that the location and views are amazing, they can't overcome the other problems with this unit (as mentioned in previous reviews), specifically the "hole" in the middle of the living room leading out to the lanai. We arrived in late afternoon, with plenty of sunshine, and while walking to the lanai to take in the view, my husband didn’t slip, trip or stumble, he simply stepped into space. Fortunately he didn’t hit his head on the hard stone tile or hit the sliding glass door, as that could have catastrophic. His injuries were not insignificant. I immediately called the management company, Paradise in Hawaii (PIH) for advice and they gave me directions to Waimea (a 1/2 hour drive away) to pick up bandages and medical supplies. I called PIH again the next day and they did send over their maintenance man to put blue painters tape on the floor to give some indication that the steps were there. He also moved the large coffee table away from the stairs so there was enough room to walk past. Apparently PIH has known about this situation but neither they nor the owner of the unit chose to do anything about it. The entire unit is on one level except for the unexpected hole in the floor. I contacted PIH three additional times during our stay (and included photos of the injuries, which I also sent to our doctor for instructions on to how to properly treat the wounds) and I have yet to hear from them about either moving to another unit to avoid the "hole" or how they planned to remedy it. We’ve spent the past 2 weeks bandaging my husband's cuts and bruises, and because of them, he has been unable to fully enjoy Hawaii and the beach on our vacation. We’re in the hospitality business ourselves and are acutely aware of the need to stay on top of potential problems and identify them before they become liabilities. Sadly, both the owner and management company have put their guests at risk and I highly recommend neither renting this unit nor any other from this uncommunicative and negligent company.

The home is beautiful and a stunning location overlooking the ocean. Many guests have come to love it and return year after year. This guest's report that there is a hole in the living room floor is completely false. There are two steps from the living room to the lanai / ground floor patio outside. This is common in almost all ground floor units in Mauna Lani Point. The photos show the home accurately as does the 3D virtual tour. There is nothing hidden. This guest admitted they were not looking where they were going and missed a step. The guest admitted it was well lit and didn't see where they were walking. Our team was quick to assist and offered assistance but they indicated all they needed was directions to the pharmacy to get some bandaids for a of some scrapes. We followed up the second day with one of our staff going onsite. It was clear the individual did not require any medical attention or see a doctor. They stayed the entire two weeks and did not depart. Only after two weeks did they then make demands for their entire trip for free. There is absolutely no negligence. Instead they decided to write a review making false claims and and grossly exagerate their accidental fall when they admittedly were not looking where they were walking while watching the ocean. Our team and the owners take guest safety very seriously. We manage over a hundred homes and have thousand of 5 star reviews.

Disappointing

There is no doubt that this property has a very desirable location and if views are the most important factor in determining where you stay you will be delighted. Unfortunately, we found the property itself disappointing. The interior is dated and "tired" and it seems that the owners have done very little to provide any updates since it was first built in the 1980's. The kitchen is very small, which wouldn't necessarily be bad but, is minimally equipped. There is no pantry or cupboard space for supplies and items seem to have been thrown haphazardly into drawers without much thought for organization or the needs of guests. The unit is advertised as 3 bedrooms but is really 2 with a study that has a bed in it but no window, no closet and only 1 nightstand. The MB has 2 double closets but when we opened one a large mattress topper, which had been stuffed inside, fell out and there was no place to put it other than on the floor. The fan in the toilet started shrieking the first night however the property managers did quickly get that replaced; they were not however, able to get the issue with the bath tub repaired. We noticed it was slow dripping the first night and then evolved into a constant stream of water. The day before we left, the plumber removed both taps, but the tub remained unusable. We had noticed before we booked that other reviews mentioned that the step down from the main living room to the lanai was problematic and it is undeniably a fall hazard. The 2 steps down are almost impossible to see as your eyes are drawn to the amazing view outside rather than down to the floor. We placed items around the steps to remind us to be careful but would be surprised if there hadn't been a few accidents in this area which we consider a real liability and should certainly be addressed by the owners. Also worth mentioning that lighting throughout the unit itself was very dim in general, again, aging fixtures that need replacing. We have stayed in various locations at Mauna Lani every year for the past 10 years and have never written a bad review but this property really does need some serious attention. We understand that the view is spectacular but that should not negate the owners taking some responsibility for the interior deficits. Outside features are important and amazing views part of the Hawaiian experience, but providing amenities for the comfort and safety of your guests should be equally important.

Coastal Dreams is one of the best locations in Mauna Lani with amazing views. It is one of the only places you can listen to the waves, watch the whales in the winter, or golfers play the signature hole of the Mauna Lani south course. Interior decor is definitely a personal taste and is accurately shown in the photos of the actual unit. The comments about no upgrades are simply not true. The owner replaced carpet and installed new Acacia hardwood flooring, painted the entire condo, installed new beds, new couch, coffee table, dining table, outdoor furniture (we love the swivel chairs for watching the sunset) and new large smart TVs all in the last 3 years. The bathrooms were also upgraded as shown in the photos. This is one of the only Mauna Lani Point homes equipped with bikes and a wide assortment beach gear. While we typically address items that arise during the trip like a faucet that develops a drip partway through a trip we did at the request of the guest arrange a plumber. 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.
