I have rented dozens of vacation homes, and this one is the best appointed, best equipped, best maintained that I have ever seen. Exceptional property in an exceptional neighborhood. Highly recommend.

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!

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.

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!

We had the most incredible stay at Laura’s house in Hawaii — it was everything we hoped for and more! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views, peaceful atmosphere, and thoughtful touches throughout the home.The house itself is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and perfectly equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing island getaway. We especially loved starting our mornings with coffee on the lanai, soaking in the pool or hot tub and listening to the birds. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals at home, and the beds were super comfortable after long days of exploring.Laura was a fantastic host — kind, responsive, and clearly passionate about making sure her guests have an unforgettable experience. Her local tips helped us find some hidden gems we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise.This home truly felt like a private retreat — peaceful, welcoming, and filled with aloha spirit. We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a special place to stay in Hawaii!

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 !!!

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!

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.

The house was much bigger than we had expected based on the listing. It had absolutely everything that we could have needed for our vacation and more. The beach club was perfect for swimming, snorkeling and lounging. The back patio door which opened completely to create a seemless indoor/outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful weather and read while the kids played in the pool was great. Finally, the master bedroom suite with huge bathroom, bathtub, 2 indoor showers, and an outdoor shower was complete luxury. Thanks for a wonderful Hawaii experience.

Our family of 6 spent a glorious week over Winter Break in this home. It was perfection. We were afforded every amenity you could think of under the sun. We enjoyed and took full use of the bikes, umbrellas, beach chairs and towels, goggles and fins, cooking supplies, and even the robust supply of games playing Catan every night. We did yoga poolside, went on runs, and cooked meals on the outdoor grill. The location was unparalleled, right next to the wonderful market where we bought our fresh poke and fish, and within biking and driving distance and access to the amazing beaches including the black sand beach. We felt like we were locals. We hope to be back again soon. Thank you for a week to remember.
