Beautiful home that was an ideal base for our family trip for the holidays. Great location and view. Nice set up. Well appointed. Golf cart a big plus. Responsive and helpful host.

We truly enjoyed the home, the beds were very comfortable and everything worked great. We were able to cook comfortably and enjoyed the pool and hot tub. If you have kids keep an eye on them so they don’t slip and fall by the pool. Otherwise it’s a perfect paradise.

We had a great vacation. The cleanliness of the property and the cleaning crew certainly leaves much to be desired but the location is wonderful. House shows wear and tear from being a rental but is generally well appointed. More comfortable/less cheap furniture both inside and out as well as included cleaning, heating the pool, gym access etc. would be nice at this high of a price point. The access to beach and beach club were amazing.

In spite of the torrential rains at the start of the trip the whole experience was magical. Fantastic house and location with all the amenities available. The property manager Laurie was very helpful and the experience was better than advertised. Thank you for making my 60th birthday such a beautiful experience.

We rented this house as an extended family - three different generations, and it met our expectations. The house is well-appointed and the property concierge/contact was responsive to a couple of minor maintenance issues that we had. The pool and hot tub and patio were perfect for hanging out as a group. The beach club is a short drive (car or golf cart) away. We didn't get a chance to try the restaurant, but the beach itself was clean and my husband loved the snorkeling right off the shore. My one complaint about the Mauna Lani area in general has nothing to do with the house - there aren't many shopping or restaurant opportunities nearby. Some of it is Covid-related and businesses haven't survived the pandemic, and some of it is the secluded nature of the properties themselves. If you're looking for quiet seclusion and relaxation, this is a fantastic place. If you expect lots of restaurant options and urban conveniences, then you will need to drive into Kona proper to get those.

Over all a nice house in a good location, but overpriced for the finishes it has. It is nice, but missing some luxuries to be able to charge so much. For example, no vaulted great, no garden shower. -1 star for that. Also there is no desk or computer chair, making working on a computer uncomfortable.
Then, despite the high price, they wanted 50/day more to use the golf cart and 25/day to use the gym. That is just rude, another -1 star.
They allowed our pup to stay, which is a huge plus as it is very hard to find accommodations in Hawaii with a dog (despite our dog being well behaved and super cute). That was worth the price for us, but just barely.
The house could have been a little cleaner, specifically the couch cover in the living area. The sink in the downstairs did not drain water properly. We used only the downstairs (master is upstairs), since the upstairs AC didn't work. They provided mobile units, but we didn't bother setting that up and I'm not sure it would work well with a sliding door. We were told a month ahead of time it was not working, so it wasn't a surprise, but that does seem like enough time to fix it. For what they charge, everything should be working, no excuses.
The ground floor AC stopped working during our stay, making for an uncomfortable day. We understand that sort of thing happens and it was fixed quickly, so kudos for that.
Overall we had a nice stay, but we'd chose a different house to stay on our next trip to Mauna Lani. It's not about being cheap, it's just the value isn't there. We stayed at One Ocean the weeks prior to this stay and for half the price we more amenities, without any additional charges for extras.

Leading up to the vacation the booking experience was nothing short of total professionalism. Communication was prompt, clear and always helpful. Checking in was seamless. The property itself was spectacular. The fixtures and fittings were top shelf, the layout was beautifully appointed and so spacious; we (6 adults and 2 infants across 3 generations) always had ample room to spread out and relax.
The yard is such an amazing space to relax and swim, morning, noon or night. Finally the community amenities - golf, beaches and restaurants are a short golf cart (highly recommend this option) ride away.
I can’t recommend this property enough. Needless to say, discussions were immediately had about making this an annual destination.

Beautiful house in a central location to wonderful restaurants and food stores. The house is lovely and nicely appointed. The beds are by far the most comfortable of any 5 star hotel or house we stayed in worldwide!!! Grounds are immaculate. Ocean and golf course views are spectacular. Highly recommend.

Hawaii living at its best. Amenities in the community were top notch. Good location to enjoy all aspects of the Big Island. Would definitely recommend.

We loved the house and the easy access to the Mauna Lani beach club. We rented the golf cart (it may seem that it is included in the rental from the pictures, but it is an extra cost) and that was a nice addition. The company did try to charge us a daily fee to heat the jacuzzi but then said that fee was a mistake and did not charge us when I inquired.
