Rental Details

Property Overview

Brought to you by Paradise in Hawaii Luxury Homes.

Welcome to Ocean Palms Villa, part of our Hawaiian Luxury Collection. Ocean Palms Villa at the Mauna Kea Resort Wai'ula'ula complex has majestic views of mountains and ocean. You will be mesmerized from the moment you wake looking at the ocean through the bedroom windows, then during your morning coffee overlooking the ocean on the covered lanai, to the glorious sunset that caps off an amazing day of activities.

The Big Island has so much to offer for families, adventure seekers or romantic couples and Ocean Palms Villa is just the place to use as a base whether you're exploring or simply relaxing and unwinding.

We pride ourselves on providing some of the most sought after homes on the Kohala Coast. We have partnered with the owners of Ocean Palms Villa to provide you with an exquisite home away from home.

The unmatched pairing of one of Hawaii's premier resorts, set along what we consider the most spectacular beach in the islands, with the comfort of this luxury home creates the perfect backdrop for your Hawaiian escape.

As a guest of the Wai'ula'ula community, you'll enjoy exclusive amenities designed for relaxation and fun. Take a refreshing dip in the stunning infinity-edge pool, let the little ones splash and play in the keiki pool, unwind in the hot tub, or recharge after a workout in the private fitness center—all just steps from your door.

Fast WiFi with great coverage included!

We know our Guests look forward to an exceptional experience from the moment you start planning your Big Island vacation. We've incorporated all our vacationing experiences from Hawaii and around the world, to ensure you have an exceptional stay!

We love friends & families!

Big Island is such a wonderful place to spend time with your friends, family, children and grandchildren. Vacations create such wonderful memories; we hope this trip will be one of your fondest family memories and that you'll return year after year.

Ocean Palms Villa is a large 3 bedroom home that sleeps 6 and is exquisitely furnished with 2 Master Suites each with their own luxurious bath, and 3rd bedroom with its own luxurious bathroom right outside the door. This home is perfect for families or three couples looking to share a home while having space, privacy and near equal size rooms and baths.

The first master has a King bed, access to lanai and amazing ocean views in the morning.
The second master has a King bed and has an ocean view that is equal to the first master. Both masters have a large ensuite bath with soaker tub, gorgeous high-end cabinets and frameless glass showers.
The third bedroom features two TwinXL beds that can be combined as King with gel topper. There is a bath just outside the door that is just as luxurious as the other two master baths.
A rollaway can be brought for a 7th guest. (Best suited for a child)

The airy open concept main room includes kitchen, dining area, great room, and large covered lanai with grill. The large dining room table will comfortably accommodate six people plus 3 at the expansive kitchen island. The large lanai doors disappear into the wall for complete blend of indoor and outdoor living.

The lanai features comfy chairs and couches for reading, dining area with room for six, and outdoor kitchen. The lanai has an overlooking view of the Wai'ula'ula community with the expansive ocean as a backdrop.

The living room features a large Ultra HD 4K TV.

Ocean Palms Villa is at the end of a quiet court, yet only a short walk to the Wai'ula'ula gated community recreation center and pool. This recreation center boasts an infinity pool that is to die for, and a kids pool for those with little ones. Lay on loungers in the water, enjoy the hot tub spa or cuddle up with your kids on one of the big orbital day beds. The recreation center also has a fitness center with stunning views of the pools and expansive Hawaii scenery.

Ocean Palms Villa 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 Ocean Palms 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, our home and the Mauna Kea Resort are sure to create a great experience.

Beyond building an elegant, yet comfortable home, we know it's often the small surprises and conveniences that make all the difference.

Examples include:

• High-end luxury mattresses in all bedrooms for your comfort and enjoyment
• Luxurious high-end bedding for all beds
• Luxurious towels
• Spa shampoo, conditioner and body wash
• A fully equipped kitchen for all your cooking, baking and BBQ needs

For your day at the Beach:

We love building really big sand castles! Kohala sand is exceptional for this and we have the tools for kids and adults alike. For your day at the beach, you'll find:

• Comfortable beach chairs, beach mats, umbrellas
• Sand toys and sandcastle making equipment
• Large collection of snorkel gear in multiple sizes so you can share the wonders of the ocean
• Boogie boards to enjoy playing in the waves
• Life jackets, swim belts for the younger ones
• Large wheeled cooler and Tupperware containers for your beach picnic

For those with children:

Having traveled with our kids when they were young we know how difficult it is to lug all the baby equipment. Our goal is to make your life easier so we have equipped our vacation home with:

• Pack 'n Play
• High chair
• Baby monitors
• Bed safety rails

A short drive away are six of the most spectacular beaches in Hawaii including Black Sand Beach, Private Beach 69, and of course two of the best beaches in Hawaii right on the resort; Hapuna beach and the breath-taking Mauna Kea beach.

The Kohala coast is a golfer's paradise with seven challenging courses all within seven miles of our villa.

Within a 10 minute drive are three high-end shopping complexes, Queens Shops at Waikoloa, Kings Shops and the Shops at Mauna Lani where you can find supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants, clothing and accessory stores, art, and free weekly entertainment in the evenings.

The house was in excellent condition and very clean. Plenty of space. Beds were extremely comfortable and the view on the lanai was great. Snorkel gear and boogie boards were a nice amenity to have as well. We also took advantage of the resort amenities as well which were excellent. Would definitely stay here again.

Location and access to the beach was first rate. Sadly the outdoor kitchen appliances needed repairs or replacement. BBQing was very difficult with only 2 of 6 burners working. Deck refrigerator ran constantly with no cooling.

Expectations were met and I can't think of anything negative to say. Most of our time was spent at the Mauna Kea so many quick driving trips there and back. bring your own ground coffee there was plenty of T.P. so that was a wasted purchase for us. bbq was fantastic. pillows are too firm for our taste but that is clearly nitpicking. Again, key review here is expectations were set and met which to me = 5 stars.

The condo is very well furnished with all the amenities needed for a great vacation. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and every utensil, pots and appliances you can think of. The location is great and the view from the balcony is a big plus.

This is a nice second floor unit. It is well furnished and comfortable. Nice sunset views. We have stayed at a first floor unit previously. These are really spacious, well appointed units. We make use of the resort pass for using the pool, beach access, gym and parking. Well worth it.

Had an enjoyable family vacation. Very glad we were able to take advantage of the hotel facilities. It was fairly expensive but we’ll worth for the family

Jim O.10.0/10

The house was everything that was advertised. The 3 bedrooms were larger than we expected and the closet space and bathrooms were exceptionally large and spacious. The living area was wonderful for entertaining and with the sliding doors moved into the walls the large outside patio/deck brought the tropics inside. We used the Complex pool and area along with the beach and pool at Hapuna. Both were very nice. When we come back to the Big Island we feel there is no better place to stay than this condo.

Condo was clean, well stocked with everything you could possibly need, plenty of beach gear. Made for a perfect vacation.

We loved our stay here. The residence was beautiful and clean and the rooms were spacious and cozy. The outdoor deck with the wall of windows provided an amazing indoor-outdoor experience. We appreciated using the outdoor grill and the large media screen was great for movie nights. We are so glad we purchased the resort pass which provided extra amenities and activities at the Mauna Kea Beach Resort and the Westin Hapuna. The customer service team was also excellent and very responsive to questions in preparation and during our stay. The water pressure and hot water in one of the bathrooms needs adjustment but this did not deter our enjoyment of our stay. We would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay at your property!
