About this property

Beautiful second home of kama'aina family right next to Mauna Lani's white sand beaches with access to a pool, spa, and grill area that face the ocean. This one bedroom penthouse villa, K302, provides utmost privacy and beauty with spectacular pond, ocean, and sunset views.

This third floor corner unit is in Building K and away from the other buildings, the pool area, and the adjacent hotel; making it extremely quiet, tranquil, and peaceful. It overlooks historic royal fishponds that will remind you of old Hawaii. You can see the ocean over the ponds and the beach is just steps away. Snorkeling here is regarded as some of the best on the Island with live coral, colorful reef fish, and protected green sea turtles.

The exquisitely appointed villa is 1,150 sq. ft. with an additional 330 sq. ft. lanai that opens to both the Living Room and the Bed Room. You can enjoy ocean breezes, watch fish jump in the ponds, and see amazing sunsets. The unit is very spacious with a 24' vaulted ceiling, floor to ceiling mahogany shutters, and is carpeted throughout. It comes with a king bed, two luxurious bathrooms, and a lovely kitchen that gets the morning sun.

Mauna Lani Terrace condos are next door to the Auberge Hotel which is often rated as the best resort on the Big Island. Guests can just walk to the hotel's conveniences; to the homeowner's beach; and to the highly rated Napua restaurant. In addition, there are several shops, restaurants, and a Foodland grocery store nearby. The 5-star resort also has two famous 18-hole golf courses, historic hiking trails, and a world class Fitness Club with tennis, pickleball, lap pool, spa, and gym facilities.

The villa is available for two adults provided they do not need to quarantine. Minimum stay is 5 nights and there are no additional fees for cleaning or other surprise charges. The unit is accessed by outside stairs, is strictly non-smoking, and no children or pets are allowed. We recommend purchasing travel insurance to recover any non-refundable cancellation charges.

Please check with the owners on availability as the calendar may not be up-to-date and we can sometimes release dates that we may have blocked for our use. We live on the island, are happy to answer questions, and do not accept booking dates that are more than a year away.

The location is great, the condo was spotless and had everything we needed both inside and on the lanai. Surinder is an excellent host. He provided explicit instructions on how to get to the condo and checkin, and local recommendations for activities, shopping, and dining. He was very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

The best part of the condominium was the stunning view over the fish ponds to the ocean. The unit was quiet, and close to the beach club. Surinder was responsive. We had a wonderful peaceful stay. My husband also liked how close we were to the golf course, he could walk over and hit balls.

The one bdrm, 2 bath condo had a fully stocked kitchen and everything you need to feel at home. Bed and bedding were comfortable, furniture indoor and out were very nice, laundry was handy, and other furnishings were pristine. The property overlooked a beautiful fish pond with ocean view in site. A short stroll to either Mauni Lani resort or the beach was convenient. Would love to return!

Spent a wonderful week in this beautiful penthouse condo while attending a wedding and related festivities at the Mauna Lani resort. Perfect location overlooking tranquil fishponds with ocean views from the lanai. Conveniently located close to all of the Mauna Lani amenities, yet very private and quiet. Host Surinder was very helpful in suggesting walking trails, restaurants and other island activities. Housekeeper Kathy welcomed me with a lovely note, delicious pineapple, as well as a spotless and comfortably cool condo. Highly recommend!

Lovely location among the historic fish ponds with ocean view. Whale watching from the lanai was unbelievable. Quiet, restorative, and just what we needed. Highly recommend this condo.

This condo in Mauna Lani was the best vacation experience we have ever had! We stayed for 3 weeks, which gave us enough time to see a lot of the natural beauty of the big island. The condo was the perfect home base. The location is great for day trips to volcanoes, hikes, the southernmost point, rainforests, ranches, etc. And you can easily walk to beautiful beaches, snorkeling, fish ponds, lava fields, petroglyphs, shopping, golf, restaurants, etc. The condo itself is even better than the photos. It is luxurious and beautifully decorated but also comfortable, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. Finally, the owners are the most hospitable, welcoming, and attentive hosts we have ever had. They went out of there way to make our stay absolutely perfect!

We enjoyed our stay at the condo and we’re pleased with the amenities of the property. It is a walk up, so a little difficult with luggage. The beach club and the pool were very nice as was the property for walking around. Condo was well furnished and comfortable. Communication was great with the owner
