Our family of 6 adults enjoyed our stay. The property had everything we needed and then some. We appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, and snorkeling equipment. We enjoyed the lovely pool along with the exceptional location. We will definitely stay here again.

Mauna Lani

Great location, excellent accommodations and good customer service from the property management group. The only negative was a guy acting as “the police” for the resort. As others have said, he was rude to guests and others, including being rude to my two daughters. He was harassing a young couple with kids as he thought the kids were too noisy…they were not. But aside him, this place is great. Shops, the beach with snorkeling all within walking distance. We would come back again.

Excellent location

The location is excellent, the pool was fantastic, and we used the BBQ, which was clean and of good quality. Typical in older properties the lack of soundproofing insulation is to be expected, you could hear the individuals upstairs like a herd of elephants. The unit had cleaning supplies, a vacuum and a host package with garbage bags, laundry detergent, dishwasher cubes etc.The check-in and support were fantastic, clear and concise. All in all, it is an excellent property.

A solid choice

We enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. The grounds were lovely, the living areas were spacious, and overall we found it to be reasonably clean. The area was fairly walkable given the amenities included: nearby stores and restaurants, walks to the fish pond, the pool and hot tub access, etc. Some of the living quarters needed a little TLC such as burnt out light bulbs in the kitchen, remote control instructions that didn't go with a remote, and an entertainment center that blocked some of the TV views and had doors and drawers that were difficult to open. If you have anything larger than a RAV4 I'd suggest abandoning the idea of parking in the garage and opt for the parking spaces within the property. We had mere inches in front and back of our Jeep Grand Cherokee when parked in the garage. The beach gear provided was in good shape and we used it frequently. The provided instructions by the hosts were very detailed but a little redundant and overwhelming, however, they were responsive and kind in all of our interactions. All in all I found the value for the price to be good.

Family trip

The property was awesome and it was perfect for kids. The pool area was even better than we anticipated and was right across the street from the unit. The location can’t be beat. We would definitely stay here again. The garage is small and really can’t fit a Ford expedition, which is a common large car rental on the island, but using the common parking spots was not an issue. Smaller cars would fit without any problem. Only other thing to be aware of is that it is a bottom unit, so we could hear the group above us at times, but again the space was great and we preferred having access to the very nice grounds and grassy areas from the lanai.

Great location and proximity to everything, beach, shopping and pool. It was a bottom floor unit and unfortunately the guests above were not courteous and you could hear them walking loud and playing music at all different times. The AC unit is outside one of the bedroom windows and is very loud for whomever is in that bedroom but overall we had a wonderful time! Mahalo for sharing your home!

Great Location for a Long Family Weekend

We stayed here for a long weekend with my young adult and teenage children, as well as my brother and sister-in-law. We had plenty to do with access to the beach/beach club and the pool at the condo complex. The snorkeling was great at the beach. It was close enough to Kona to enjoy some activities down then, then it was nice to return to the peace and quiet. I would absolutely stay here again.

Comfortable and Clean Condo with Beautiful views

This was a very clean and comfortable condo with great views of the back lanai. The pool area was beautiful (and close) and the walk to the beach area has plenty to see including lava caves and fish ponds as well as a very nice sand beach. It was great to have snorkel gear in the garage. We definitely took advantage of that. Eating in the resort restaurant was pretty expensive so we grilled a lot of meals at the condo. The grill was right on the lanai so we didn't have to leave to a common area to do so. All in all, a good experience!

Comfortable property in the Mauna Lani area

We had a very pleasant stay at this property. It is well equipped and clean. When our plans changed they were responsive and able to add a night to our reservation. I was pleasantly surprised to find a coffee grinder. Of course the area is known for Kona coffee so being able to grind beans was great. I personally love the Mauna Lana area because of the fish Ponds and beach club. I love walking the Ponds at sunrise and the beach club is just ideal. Amazing snorkeling right off the beach easy for all ages. Beach chairs, a restaurant for lunch and cocktails. This property was an easy walk to both areas but also came with a pass to the gated beach club parking. That is key when hauling snorkel gear and stuff for a family. The only draw back was so many restaurants were closed in the Mauna Lani area...I suspect hit by COVID. Many new places say coming soon. We made good use of the grocery store just downnthevroad.
