County Law requires alarms on all ground-level sliding doors that lead to pool area, in order to prevent doors from being left open indefinitely.

Mauna Kea Dream Villa i is located in the gated community of Wai'ula'ula where the units enjoy stunning views.
Guests love the peace and tranquility of Wai'ula'ula not to mention the great sunsets while being in the Mauna Kea resort.
Soft white sand and warm turquoise waters greet you at both Mauna Kea Beach and Hapuna Beach. All beaches in the State of Hawaii are public and provide for public access.
These two beaches are not over-built with only a single hotel on them and are otherwise surrounded by Hawaii's natural landscape. Abundant parking is available at Hapuna Beach State Park on the south end.
There is limited free public parking at Mauna Kea Beach so it's good to plan to arrive early for a fun day.
To make the most of these two beaches or explore a multitude of other beaches including white sand beaches, black sand beaches and even a green sand beach we have equipped the home with a large supply of beach goodies for your use at no extra cost.
You will find a collection
- quality Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs
- quality beach umbrellas
- snorkeling gear in various adult and kids' sizes. We even have a viewing board so little keikis (kids) can see the tropical fish
- boogie boards for catching the wave
- beach wagons, coolers, sand toys and more
The Big Island and this home have a wide range of restaurants, activities, golf, tennis and shops to enjoy nearby. At most times of the year guests can make reservations for golf, activities, and restaurants. Our guest ambassadors are happy to help our guests with any questions, ideas and love helping ohanas have an amazing experience on the Big Island. It is an incredibly friendly and safe island. Our team loves sharing their passion for the Big Island with others.
For those guests staying at Mauna Kea Dream Villa who want the benefits of staying in a luxury private home but also to enjoy an experience as if they were a hotel guest there is an ability to opt into the Mauna Kea Club program. Only guests staying in Mauna Kea resort homes where the owners are members of the Mauna Kea Club have the option of enjoying this option. The program includes charging privileges at two hotels (Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and Hapuna Westin), use of each hotel's pools, beach chairs, and hotel parking. The hotel requires guests who opt in to pay a daily fee per home, not per guest, to the hotel directly. Guests who opt in must sign up for all nights of their stay. Unlike some vacation rental companies, Paradise in Hawaii does not force guests to sign up for the program and pay higher nightly rates. For those guests choosing the Club option, our guest ambassador team will facilitate your registration. Inquire with our team for more details and for pricing. Rates are set by the hotel and are subject to change each year and during certain peak weeks. For guests who want to participate, advance registration is required with the hotel.
While some guests love the Club experience, many of our guests find that with the free nearby Wai'ula'ula community pool and fitness center along with the public access to the same beaches using our collection of beach gear that signing up for the Club doesn't make sense. Several past guests have commented there is so much to do on the Big Island that they did not make full use of the optional program.
Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, a new job, retirement, or simply celebrating the sunshine, the home, and the Mauna Kea Resort are sure to create a great experience.

Guest Reviews
Reviews
This is our second time at Mauna Kea and first time with Paradise in Hawaii. House was as described and we had a wonderful stay. We would recommend
Overall, we loved the location, but were disappointed with the number of issues with our particular unit. We were given the wrong gate code and couldn't get through the gate when we arrived at 10:30 at night. Once we finally got to our unit, we discovered the doors to the pool all had alarms and couldn't be opened for longer than 7 seconds. During our stay, we discovered the TV didn't work, the grill didn't work, the bathtub wouldn't hold water, the garage door stopped working, and one of the two bikes provided with the unit had a broken pedal and couldn't be used. Oh, and the outdoor furniture collapsed when I sat on it (I'm a fairly small woman for reference). Each time we had a problem, the property management team addressed it, but overall it seemed like the property wasn't maintained very well. I was disappointed with all of the issues that came up during our stay. That said, the house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The location was great and we enjoyed the clubhouse and the resort amenities.
We loved our time in Mauna Kea Dream! It was a wonderful home as displayed. Great location. Quiet. Clean. Would highly recommend!
Stayed 4/9-4/14. There are several misleading items in the listing. This is not an indoor/outdoor living space as the photos suggest. If you leave the sliding doors open for more than 5 seconds a very loud alarm sounds until you close the doors. It is awful. The mgmt claims it is a law for homes with pools, but we have rented a home in Kona and this was not the case. The listing states there is a hot tub. It is not heated upon arrival. It is up to the guest to heat it, which was not communicated. It would drain of all water as it “spilled” over into the pool. Each day it was full and cold in the a.m., then we would heat it and return after our day at the beach to find only about a foot of water in it. It would not fill all evening. We would wake to it being full and cold again. This was the cycle every day. Totally useless. A few other annoyances; 1st 24 hours we had no hot water, the tv in the main living space does not connect to WiFi, so no streaming of shows or music is possible on it. Also, the house is a duplex, which was not stated in listing. Lastly, there is no need to pay the extra daily fee for use of the Mauna Kea/Westin resorts. The beaches are public access (though parking may be a challenge) and anyone can order drinks/food from the resort beach bars. No wonder they ask you to commit to the cost of the resort access prior to arrival, so you don’t see how unnecessary it is. All grievances were told to mgmt during our stay. Worst vrbo experience we have had.
We have state in this development 3 times over the past and loved it!
This was a beautiful property with an amazing kitchen…well equipped and top of the line appliances both indoor and out. Very spacious home with nice separation of bedrooms for privacy. The only down side was the out door furniture was not comfortable for lounging.
This is a lovely home. Very generously provided for (lots of towels, bedding, snorkels and boogie boards, things like olive oil and salt and pepper to help you get going). The pool is small but fun for splashing and the view of the sunset is awesome. The pool was a bit dirty when we arrived because of the recent fires but after some chasing of the management company this was fixed after two days with a pool cleaner. We never quite got our head round how the hot tub worked and the engineer told us the heating element had broken. But it was hot sometime, not others and we enjoyed it when it was hot. Should stress that you CANNOT sit with the "inside / out" patio doors wide open due to the alarm that has to be on (doors open for max 20 seconds before it pierces like a smoke alarm). It does look as if previous tenants have looked to "innovate" around this though given some of the broken parts in the kitchen drawers! Cooking, utensils and utilities all great and new. The other pool etc. area is really nice, though a bit of a hike up the hill. Felt v safe. I think I would stay here again and they were great to accommodate us at short notice when we had to rearrange all our Maui plans. So thank you.
This was a great house! Perfect for us, my parents and our two teens. Great layout. Kitchen was well equipped. Garage was stocked with water toys etc. Comfortable beds. Easy check in and check out. Highly recommend!
House was as advertised: Great location, spacious (easily fit 6 of us), well maintained, with all the amenities. Working with the property manager was a breeze. We got the Mauna Kea resort privileges, which gave us access to the beaches and gyms at both the Mauna Kea and Westin hotels (they are right next to each other). Preferred the beach at Westin (Hapuna beach slightly more beautiful, plus quality and service at the pool restaurant better). Overall, we can definitively recommend this house/neighborhood and would come back here if we were to visit the Big Island again.
We really enjoyed the property. The entire experience was first class, with prompt and clear communication before arrival and for questions while at the property. Everything clean and well maintained, high end kitchen for cooking, and beautiful views of golf course and ocean. Only bummer was inability to open sliding glass wall between dining area and deck due to pool alarm, but understand the reason. We would definitely stay again.
