Lauren is the consummate hostess - incredible communicator, wonderful hospitality (fresh fruit and coffee welcomed us) and so knowledgeable about ways to enjoy an ideal stay at the Mauna Lani Terraces. Loved being able to walk to multiple beaches, the ease of enjoying the adjacent hotel’s restaurants and events, being perched above the historic fishponds and just the incredible view every day. Lovely condo, my husband and I along with our two school aged kiddos wanted to stay indefinitely. Thank you, Lauren! ❤️🌺🏝️
We loved the location, space and amenities provided with this unit, and Lauren was an outstanding host. We can’t wait to visit again in the future.
This is an amazing location. The condo was perfect. Nice layout, super stocked, and excellent communication from booking to departure. The ocean and snorkeling were spectacular! We hope to return soon.
Such a beautiful spot! We loved every minute of our stay and the host is absolutely wonderful.
There was simply nothing I could critique about the property or the owner. The unit was by far the best outfitted unit I've rented. There were plenty of towels, soap, paper towels -- everything. The kitchen was stocked just like my own. The beds were incredibly comfortable, with plenty of extra blankets. The owner instructions were detailed and thoughtful.
Which brings me to the owner -- I chose this unit over others because fellow travelers commented on Lauren in their reviews. I second it all! She was helpful, thoughtful and kind. Lauren was patient with my questions and made me feel like I was staying at a friend's home rather than a VRBO condo.
From start to finish, this property and owner were wonderful!

We were surprised how spacious the place was. The view was better than the pictures. The location of the condo was convenient to shopping, snorkel rentals, beach, grocery stores and restaurants. The condo had a book with recommendations for anything and everything you want to do. We would definitely rent and stay there again.

We loved stayed at this wonderful penthouse flat with an ocean view! The owner was very communicative, friendly, and open to questions about activities. She even had fresh fruit for us upon arrival! The flat is clean and comfortable with a fabulous deck that spans the length of the entire apartment and looks over a fish pond. The location is excellent—it's a short walk to both the historic fish ponds and to Beach Club Beach (a white sand beach with amazing snorkeling and good swimming). There are several places to eat (or get cocktails and ice cream) nearby. The condo is up 2 flights of stairs, which was not a problem for us, but might be a consideration for some. Parking for one car is close by. If you're looking for resort amenities along with the comfort and privacy of your own place, this is it!
We could not recommend Lauren's property enough! It was sparkling clean when we arrived and just a beautiful layout...perfect for our family of 4. The views from the condo are peaceful and beautiful and the balcony is such a great place to hang out and relax. The location was convenient to several beaches, restaurants and amenities. We used the fitness center, tennis courts and also golfed on property...all amenities were wonderful. Lauren gave me so much information ahead of our visit and was so willing to help in any way. Would absolutely stay again...a beautiful home away from home!
Lauren and Brad are phenomenally kind and generous sharing their incredibly beautiful condo. Their great communication and devotion to their guests experience and enjoyment are fantastic and extremely appreciated.

My family has stayed at this specific condo numerous times over the years. It feels like our home away from home. It is well stocked with most of what you need (with the exception of groceries - but even some of those were there upon arrival). The beds are super comfortable, plenty of pillows, blankets, towels, beach supplies.. This is such a peaceful, beautiful, special place, if you get the chance to stay here, you are fortunate, as we always feel when we come. Lauren has excellent communication and is knowledgeable about the area. Some of the best snorkeling and sand beaches are just a short walk away. Added bonus - her DVD collection is great for evenings at home. As is having a washer and dryer with everything you need and beach club access. I could go on and on about all the wonderful amenities. Can't wait to come again!
Great location. Wonderful ocean front pool.

This condo was perfect for a Hawaiian getaway with my husband and daughters (ages 5 and 7). It was spacious, beautifully decorated, had everything we needed, and was impeccably clean. The views and the location were fantastic. We made lots of use of the on-site pool and the adjacent beach club. Lauren was a very responsive, thorough, and helpful host. We would come back in a heartbeat!
The property is well located in the Muana Lani resort, short walk to beach and some of the best snorkeling on the island.
Apartment is beautifully decorated with Balinese inspired furniture. High end appliances including washer, dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator, range and double oven. Beach towels, umbrella and beach chairs available from owner. Owner is member of beach club which is key.
Beds are very comfortable, plenty of showers, all en-suite. Incredible views. Spacious two bedroom apartment is one flight up (third floor view due to sloping topography)
Three great restaurants in walking distance, or a short drive.
The lanai was huge so we had alot of time resting there. I just checked out but I already miss mauna lani terrace. Thank you

We have nothing but great things to say about this property rental. Lauren’s place is a cut above in terms of its comfort and amenities. Her kitchen is particularly well equipped with high quality cooking instruments. We also made great use of the Mauna Lani Sports Club Membership. Thank you, Lauren.

True paradise! Can’t wait to come back and stay longer next time.
We spent five amazing nights at this condo. First, I am picky and spent a lot of time looking for the right place. This was definitely it! The pictures don’t do it justice though they are accurate. Not only is it in a fantastic and central location with wonderful views right from the lanai, it was also spotlessly clean and even nicer and more spacious than the photos appear. The kitchen is better stocked than my kitchen at home, beds are comfy, and the entire condo is very tastefully decorated in classic Hawaiian decor. Everything was well maintained and you need not worry about little things like ziploc bags, having enough paper towels and tissue, etc. We highly recommend this condo and it’s lovely owners for your Hawaii stay!
Wow. This place has it all: beautiful views, splendid decorating, wonderful communication. The condo had everything you could desire: a full well-stocked kitchen, comfy furniture, games, gear… and amazing location. Lauren was super easy to reach and deal with. This was a first class trip all the way. We definitely plan to return as soon as we can!
Lauren was an amazing host. The place was as beautiful as the photos and we really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely return!
We love everything about this condo—location, beach access, cleanliness, comfortable luxury, ocean views.
And—to top it all off—the ease of communication with condo owner, Lauren.
Thanks for another wonderful stay, Lauren!
Amazing place! We have VRBO’ed at more than 50 places over the years and this is probably the best we have stayed at. Location is fantastic, Property is fantastic, communication with owner was great with quick responses. Leading up to the trip they even helped us plan activities. Very clean and has everything you need. Not “on” the ocean, but you have a great view of the ocean since the unit is on third floor and no other buildings are in between you and the ocean. Simple 5 minute walk to access beach or 2 minute walk to bbq and pool that overlooks ocean. I can’t say enough about this condo. My family loved it and we would stay here again in an instant.
This is a beautiful condo with a wonderful owner! We love the location, with amazing views and sounds of the ocean. Lauren is responsive, caring and a pleasure to work with. The condo is impeccably clean, well maintained and beautifully furnished. The unit is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We loved having access to the sports club and the ability to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go. We had an amazing visit, and we can’t wait to return next year!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about both Lauren, the owner of the property and the property itself. Lauren is so nice to work with and always wants to make sure that our stay is the perfect experience. We’ve stayed in her amazing condo for many years now and love it very much. Not only is the condo beautifully decorated, but it comes equipped with everything you could possibly need. And, it has a beautiful view of the ocean, complete with being able to hear the waves! All in all, every stay we’ve had in Lauren’s condo has indeed been the perfect experience!
We love the Mauna Lani resort and the terraces are perfect for us with their quiet location and stunning ocean views. Beyond that, Lauren is an involved caring host who makes it over the top. Her place is well organized, clean and very welcoming. We will be back! Mahalo nui loa Lauren!
This is the most lovely and relaxing unit in the most beautiful oceanside condo complex. Lauren and Brad make sure everything in the immaculate and extremely well supplied condo is Excellent for a wonderful relaxing vacation. And on the most beautiful coast with whales off shore - beautiful walks, amazing sunsets, beautiful views of royal fishponds, all ocean activities, and magnificent golf. Or just relax on the lanai and enjoy the perfect breeze. It’s just paradise on an island paradise!
