🏖️Exclusive Mauna Lani Resort | Private Pool | Short Walk to Beach Club | vrKCV

We brought our adult kids and their 2 children with us for a week here and just loved it! Having our own pool was the BEST. Everyone had plenty of room and the kitchen and laundry were perfect for us. Not necessarily great for kids who crawl as the slate floors are a bit scratchy. There is carpeting in the theater room which turned into a playroom for us. But great for kids 3 and above. Property management very accommodating when we had an issue with the hot water. I would highly recommend this place if you have a or are traveling with 2 other couples.

This was very unique, nice, and clean property. The pool was nice and warm enough to swim and the hot tub was good and hot. The fish pond was full of beautiful fish. Nice view from the second story too.

When you arrive you are greeted by a spectacular Koi fish pond that has the most beautiful fish in it. It’s a fantastic home and we enjoyed it.

We had a lovely stay at this house. It’s an easy walk to the beach, but my kids preferred the pool. The house was clean and well appointed. I hadn’t realized how accessible the koi ponds were from the house and we had to keep an extra close watch on the toddler, but we mostly kept the doors closed (helped to keep the baby and AC inside!)

We had an apparent rodent problem. We found the laundry room had evidence of rodent feces in a laundry basket and behind the washer and dryer. The area behind the washer and dryer was filthy and should be cleaned. Kona Vacations responded to all our requests for help and eventually boarded an area behind the dryer that may have been the entry source of the rodent. However no one cleaned that area then. There was also evidence of some old fecal droppings on some of the baseboards in the main area of the house and the garage.

The home is nicely laid out with some private suites, a beautiful koi pond entrance, privacy from neighbors and comfortable amenities. The location is walking distance to the beach club, the pool is nice for plunging and the patio table large enough for our family. We did experience some downsides: the AC operation is dependent on ALL doors and windows being closed at all times, or it kicks off. One of the door sensors was taped (masking tape) to the door and kept falling off, preventing the AC from working until we had a chance to tape it back up again. We eventually just stopped using the AC during the day. We noticed another reviewer also mentioned this problem. The hot water is solar and most of the time we had hot water, but barely any pressure. It took 47 minutes to fill a bathtub. We only had 2 burners working on the stove as operation is dependent on having the right size pots and pans to fit the burners. The pool pump stopped working on the 2nd day. It took another 3 days for the pool maintenance to fix this. There were a few lighting issues that were never resolved: patio string lights did not work, puck lights in the coffee bar did not work, there is a bathroom light out in the Aina Suite. We found some dead cockroaches in the theater room and the koi pond smelled most of the time (it was only serviced 1x not 5-10x's like the guest book indicates).

I would find it hard to believe anyone having negative things to say about this property. Our party of 7 had plenty of space, it is well stocked and the property itself is a one-of-a-kind gem!! I cant say enough good things about this, you have to experience it yourself to really understand the experience. Only 1 negative- The house is censored for A/C which is great, but we had an issue with the AC in the main portion of the house not working the first 2 days we were there, and it was boiling. I called the Management company and was told that the owner could see a door or window was open, so it won't work. For two days we searched for an open door or window.. nothing. We couldnt cook in the kitchen because it was sweltering. Come to find the morning of our third day, a sensor was laying on the floor and that was the issue with the "door" The only issue I have is if the owner can see that a door or window is a jar cant the provide which one.. *be sure to check for this if you are experiencing any issues with the a/c.

A wonderful and comfortable home for our family vacation. Grandma, Grandpa, two daughters one son in law and two Granddaughters. Plenty of room for all, well furnished, and the pool and view were great. One of the nicest vacation homes we've rented. We'll be back next year.

Just perfection

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was very comfortable and we loved the proximity to the beach (it really is a very short walk) as well as the short drive to the golf clubhouse. It was nice to walk over to the hotel along the coastline for lunch too (maybe another ~15 minutes walking). The koi ponds are dramatic, and obviously not childproof, but we were mindful of keeping all the doors closed. The media room was an unexpected surprise to keep us entertained in the evenings.
