The property is lovely. The home is furnished in a very attractive and comfortable manner. The view of ocean and the island are fantastic. The beach at Mauna Kea is wonderful.
Gorgeous views and epic whale watching! The villa was comfortable and luxurious, with great puzzles to put together. the art was a lovely personal touch from the owners. As former Hawai’i residents it felt like an indulgent place to be with the very best beach nearby.
This villa was perfect for our group, providing plenty of space for our two families. The views from the lanai were amazing, the house was stocked with everything we could possibly need, and it was in a great location that allowed us to easily access both the Mauna Kea and Westin Resorts. We did not want to leave and would love to come back someday! What a gorgeous house and beautiful location! Amazing!
The size and location of this unit are unbeatable, with amazing ocean views. It is also great having such easy access to the Mauna Kea resort (for an extra fee) - you get the best of both worlds with both resort amenities and the conveniences of staying in a condo. We used the resort beach facilities and fitness center frequently during our stay, and were especially impressed by the tennis center. The Mauna Kea Villas complex is beautiful. The decor in the unit itself is a bit dated, but the online pictures are very accurate so you know exactly what to expect. For our family, the size & location of this unit worked great.
Superb location! 5 minute walk to the Mauna Kea. Spectacular view. My husband said it was by far the cleanest barbecue of any of our past rentals! We noticed that the internet was not working. Eilis replied immediately. She called the company and the whole site was down.When it came back up that evening it still was not working. She sent Dave out the first thing in the morning and resolved the issue. My only slight complaint: A few more bath towels would be nice. It was a wonderful stay. Thank you!
We absolutely loved staying at this Mauna Kea Villa. The home was beautiful, clean, and spacious, and the views were spectacular. The location is perfect for us, we had access to the hotel, all of the amenities and will re-book this villa for sure!
Beautiful property! Very comfortable for our family of 4. Fantastic location - it was nice to be able to walk back and forth to the beach. Thank you for sharing it!
We absolutely loved this residence and would highly recommend to anyone. The graceful layout of this unit and captured the unobstructed view of the Waikoloa coast line and pacific ocean is a memory that will not be forgotten. SO Peaceful and tranquil we felt by being here. It was a perfect place to unwind adjacent to a world class resort. Owner's vintage Hawaiian touches, artwork, high quality bedding, and kitchen amenities provided suited all of our needs and more. We hope to enjoy this unit in the near future and look forward to leisurely strolling through the gorgeous landscaped pathway downhill to Kaunaoa beach. Mahalo.
Nothing quite like the beach/ocean at the Mauna Kea. Our house had a stunning view, plenty of amenities and was spacious. Had problems with the internet/tv which were not resolved until a week into our stay. Scramble for beach chair locations was almost comical as folks would take towels back to their rooms and then return early in the AM to save their spots. All that aside, we've been coming to the Mauna Kea for several decades and always look forward to our returns.
