It was excellent. Great house with a great location. Highly recommend this place. Good communication. Only thing for me was the pool couldn’t be heated and it was too cold to use for all of us here. Was important to me but if that’s not important to you then I wouldn’t hesitate to book here again. Excellent choice. Even watched whales from the comfort of our lanai.

This was exactly what we needed in a vacation home. The home is just as advertised. Loved the lanai. Did not eat one meal inside. The view was amazing. Loved watching the sunset each evening. We had amazing weather. Although it does cloud up every afternoon. But it’s just I. Time for a siesta. I would definitely stay here again.

Usually you find one or two things about a stay that you expected would be different or better, but not here! Not only did this property meet our expectations it delighted them to no end and exceeded them! Highlights for us were the pristine pool and hot tub, the expansive view, peaceful and quiet location, and with three 16 year old soccer fans, the tucked in soccer net and yard! The home was well stocked and everything promised was there. I really couldn't say enough about the property and the management team.

The house was everything we could have hoped for. Beautiful house, pool, view. Mosquitoes where one of our big problems. Within in 2 days we all looked like we had the measles. Dusk was the worst time to sit on the Lanai. Our other issue was the entry way pavers. I tripped and hit my head hard getting a black eye, twisted my neck scraped my knee, and received a large bruise on my thigh. Spend several day in bed. Flight home was not fun. So beware! DO NOT USE FRONT DOOR! Would we stay again absolutely. However we would ask the owners to spray for mosquitoes before our visit.

This was our second stay at Mahi Lulani in Holualoa and it was another great trip. The house is perfect for 3 or 4 couples with beautiful open spaces, privacy, wonderful views and lovely outdoor living areas.
The kitchen is large and very well appointed with everything you need. Everything worked (mostly) and was in good condition. We used the outdoor BBQ quite a bit and when the propane ran dry, Kona Coast brought in new tanks within 24 hours.
I would not hesitate to return to this really wonderful property.

We stayed here for Ironman, the home was just far enough from busy Kona town. The home is very private located at the tree line above Kona. The rooms were comfy with plenty of room. This home has a large driveway and garage to keep your stuff in. The pool was really nice with a beautiful view of Kona. This home doesn’t have AC but after 9pm the home cools down. There is a lot of nature at the tree line so you will hear frogs all night..

My family just spent a fabulous May in Kona at the Mahi Lulani house. Most of the great aspects are already covered by other reviews: the view and interior are as gorgeous as advertised, the location is convenient to Kona activities. Although far from a really nice sandy swimming beach, it’s only about a 15 minute drive to great snorkeling or the large tidepool that serves as a keiki (children) beach. There are beach toys and coolers, lots of towels, books and puzzles (more now!) The wi-fi was fine both to work and stream with. The kitchen is big and well stocked with appliances, glasses, etc. The pool is amazing and very clean.
The service from Kona Concierge was generally great. We had an issue with streaming from the large living room television — it was replaced the next day! On the other hand, here are a few things you might want to consider:
1) bugs and frogs: the coqui frogs have made it to Kona. These are tiny frogs that have a pretty noisy birdlike call. They start at sunset and go til about 4, and the birds start at 4:30. Most of us got used to these quickly, but not everyone in our party was able to sleep well. With no AC, all the windows needed to be open on hot evenings. The noise is strongest in the two bedrooms farthest from the pool. And, maybe because there was more rain in may than usual, the mosquitos were a bit overwhelming for most of us. At some point one of us had over 30 bites, while others had only one or two.
2) safety: this is not an accessible house. The gorgeous infinity pool has no handrail. This is pretty clear from the pictures, but if there were a way to put one in temporarily that would be amazing.
3) hot water and dishwasher: we were five adults going in and out of the pool. The washing machine was a life-saver and did well with water of any temp. The dishwasher, on the other hand, and shower in the north wing, were often useless. We only found out when we called the company to let them know about a neighborhood power-outage (in case anything needed resetting) that THE HOT WATER IS ON A TIMER. Huh? When we washed dishes after 8 pm, even after slamming the dishwasher shut, which was required, the cold water did nothing.
