Guest Reviews
Reviews
The house and its amenities were outstanding. The house is an easy walk to the beach and offers lots of beach toys, chairs, etc. Also, the kitchen was stocked with everything you could ask for. A perfect place to spend time with friends and family!
We really enjoyed our stay and loved walking down to the beach/hotel. It's very comfortable and spacious.
Beautiful get away from all the petty partisan crap on the mainland
This is a great home. It doesn't feel like a rental house. It is well stocked and spacious, and the outdoor/pool area is great. We did not really use the indoor/outdoor features since it was too hot. Other than a few minor things (WiFi was weak for example),we had a fantastic stay and hope to rent this home again. NOTE: We had to move to a different house due to the wildfires. This review is for Kaunaoa 7B at Hapuna Beach residences.
Excellent time with the family. Easy access to the beach and pool. With the resort pass you can also use the Westin Resort which has the better pool for young kids. The service was excellent as was the food at the restaurants. We definitely plan on doing it again next year.
Loved the view from this property! Breathtaking! Beautiful Hawaiian feel villa. Spacious, comfortable accommodations. Enjoyed the walk to the Mauna Kea hotel and beach. It was a spectacular stay, would definitely want to stay here again. It was perfect for our 3 couples.
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property. Two families - four adults, four teens - and we couldn’t have wished for more. The proximity to the resort, the nightly sunsets, the well-stocked and perfectly comfortable home. It was all we could have wished for and more. Thank you!
The owners of this property have done a superb job in keeping property clean , organized and well stocked with all essentials
My husband and I stayed at this beautiful villa with 3 other couple friends, and we had a fantastic time! The management company converted the twin beds in two of the bedrooms to king beds, so it worked very well for 8 adults. The furnishings were lovely, we had plenty of space to spread out, and we enjoyed the private pool and large deck during the afternoons and at sunset. The short walk down to the Mauna Kea Resort center and beach was great. We enjoyed the Hapuna Resort as well, which has been recently renovated - cocktails in the adults only infinity pool overlooking the ocean was to die for, and Meridia Restaurant was a real delight as well. The entire experience was wonderful - highly recommend!
This is a lovely home with amazing views and great walking access to the beach, golf course, and hotel. The rooms and the decor are done to perfection. It is great for a couple, a small family, or for a group of 8-10. I loved taking an outdoor shower in the evening before relaxing on the lanai to enjoy the pool and views. I highly recommend this gorgeous home, and we will be returning!
We found this villa to be sunny, cheerful and welcoming for our family. It has every convenience we could have imagined including the following: a perfect kitchen with space for family and guests and the cook, comfortable and quiet sleeping space, views like we have never seen before, and a short walk to the beach.We felt immediately at home.
