Checks all boxes - great location!

Good spot: We appreciated that the place was clean and well equipped — everything needed without being filled with leftover junk from previous guests. Access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club & beach gave us a good sun spot and walk-in snorkeling. Ground floor unit was spacious with 4 dining room chairs and kitchen counter seating, good internet, and easy workspace if you’re combining work and vacay. Nice attention to detail and cleanliness was really appreciated.

Everything you need and more...

This was a perfect, stress-free, FUN vacation for us starting with the booking process all the way thru our flight back home. The condo was inviting, spacious, clean, well-stocked and secluded in a secure, lush, gated community. Within walking distance was a historic site complete with lava tubes and fish ponds; keep walking and you reach The Beach Club with a calm cove perfect for snorkeling. We walked, cycled and drove to amazing restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening "nightcaps" on our private patio overlooking beautiful grounds. This was our home away from home in Paradise. We highly recommend!!

Quiet, well-appointed condo in Mauna Lani

We had an excellent time staying in this condo. It's a gated, smallish complex in the Mauna Lani resort, within walking distance to the beach through a historic park to the fishponds and beach. The grounds were lush and generally quiet. Key card access to the semi-private beach was a plus.

Visit home and amazing condo!

We took a quick trip back to Hawaii to visit our friends and family after moving to the mainland a few years back and stayed at the condo in Mauna Lani. I am very picky with cleanliness and I was very impressed!! The unit is very clean and had all the things we needed. Having a baby it was a must have to have a pack and play and they had a very clean one. We also needed to extend our stay and Meredith was great with helping us with this. The swimming pool is right off the Lani, which was great especially with kiddos. The game changer was the private beach. As someone who is from Hawaii and knows all the beaches, they get very crowded, this was not the case with the private beach. It was super clean and had all the chairs and cabanas, as well as an on site restaurant. The beach doesn’t have big waves which makes it great for little kids. We will 100% always stay in this unit when we come back and visit! Can’t say enough great things!

So nice!

The condo made leaving home so easy. We had almost everything we needed (except a drain board for dishes) and what we didn’t find, Meredith and Anne provided. The proximity to the beautiful pool also made life easy and we were only a 12 minute walk to the hotel where our children and grandchildren were staying. So nice!

Wonderful Property

I stayed here with my adult son and daughter. We were all impressed with the cleanliness and spaciousness of the condo. It was supplied with everything we needed. It had access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club which is one of our favorite beaches. We enjoyed the pool which was not too crowded. We would stay again! One suggestion: We realize that in a condo situation there are rules that we might not be aware of. Even though there was a book on the table listing all the rules, it was hard to remember all of them. So we received a notice that we had left towels on the chairs of our lanai. I suggest a one page list of rules that covers the basics and is easier to remember at a glance. Other than that, we were very pleased with our stay.

Great Place, a little too strict on Parking.

This place was great, we have stayed in the Mauna Lani area over 15 times. We would definitely come back to this unit. If you have a full size SUV it will not fit in the garage. Make sure to arrange for a parking pass in advance to avoid getting a letter on your windshield.

this place was amazing in so many ways. So close to gorgeous walks by the fish ponds which lead to the sea. Quiet with a lovely pool. No king sized bed; it’s a queen but the rooms are lovely and generous. Lots of great beach equipment which we used well. We would definitely come again. I loved having breakfast with the birds in the lanai.

Lovely Hawaii

Our stay was good. The 10 min walk to the beach was peaceful and relaxing. We were a short distance to Hapuna beach which is always a fun boogie boarding experience. We had a few problems with the unit, but the property managers were always very responsive. The negatives about the unit were, it is a tired and used unit. It could use a quality update and a thorough cleaning. We had trouble with the dishwasher and air conditioning. The couch felt like the coils were going to pop though the cushions.

Decent digs

We've stayed at Multiple properties throughout the Mauna Lani area and this was certainly a nice property. We checked in early and were able to do so with a bit of calling but not really an issue. The condo had lots of cookware, and beach stuff, coolers, chairs, boogie boards, snorkels, etc. They even had some of the basic kitchen stuff, salt and pepper, a few condiments, coffee filters, plastic wrap and foil. The bbq was okay, didn't light perfectly but who's does? The pool is a bit small and can get challenging to find a seat if showing up around 2ish as people get home from the beach. A few too many rules, no noise, no drinks, blah blah. Our particular unit was completely shaded the entire day which may appeal to some, but if you are looking to get some sun you will have to go to the pool. Also the patio furniture is extremely uncomfortable. Definitely not a place to relax. It was great that you could walk down to the beach or beach club in about 15min via the path located outside the gate. Compared to other properties in the area I would say this is on the low end but if you've never stayed at the other properties before then this would be a great start.
