From the moment you enter our well-appointed Villa at the Mauna Lani you will feel like you've entered a dream. Quiet and peaceful, with expansive views of lush tropical landscaping and swaying palms against bright blue skies, our villa is in a prime location. Away from the road, yet a short walk through the gardens to the pool's edged with a black lava rock waterfall.

The Fairways Complex at Mauna Lani is the CLOSEST town home group TO THE BEACH. Our Villa is conveniently located to the private gated entrance where a 7 minute walk under a flowering tree canopy brings you to the doorways of the luxurious Fairmont Orchid Resort. This prime location means you can walk (in 7 minutes) to the Orchid hotel and it's spa, restaurants and relaxing veranda with amazing ocean views. After another 3 minutes stroll through the marbled foyer and tropical grounds you will find yourself at the beach. From the door of the villa you can walk right out and enjoy morning and sunset strolls that quickly take you to the coastal path that follows the ocean's edge. You can also walk in 10 minutes to the Mauna Lani Shops where there is live outdoor entertainment, restaurants, shopping and groceries. If you prefer, jump on our two Mountain Bikes and explore the resort.

The Mauna Lani area is an amazing place to relax while enjoying the luxuries of two of Hawaii's finest resorts... The Fairmont Orchid and The Mauna Lani. Besides walking there is gated parking for resort guests only at the hotel and Beach Club, or if you prefer, drive down in a moment and take advantage of complimentary valet parking.

Choose from several 'toes in the sand' beachside restaurants with breathtaking ocean views, or find one of several private coves to enjoy that special moment as a family or couple and watch the turtles warm themselves in the sand. Enjoy gracious living in our comfortable and spacious Island Dreams Villa.

  • Mahalo for making your fabulous villa available to others -- we loved it from the minute we walked in the door. Well-appointed, spacious, thoughtfully decorated yet family friendly for parents who showed up with a wide-eyed two-year old (thanks for all the items that made this a truly "kid-friendly" home). It was a perfect location for enjoying the wonderful Kohala coast. Loved the access to the private beach (great snorkeling), the easy drive to the white sands of Hapuna beach, and proximity to shops, restaurants, and wonderful resort amenities. Our combo anniversary/Hawaii 5-0 birthday trip was a great success, and this was one of the most positive experiences we've had renting a vacation home.

  • The Villa worked out very well for our family of four, which includes two little ones of 2.5 yrs and 8 months. Since we were "home" a lot during nap times it was wonderful to be able to enjoy the lanai and also to have the lovely and perfectly warm pool close by the condo. My older son loved having the lawn to run around on and all of those beach toys to play with. One recommendation: I went all the way to Kona to do grocery shopping for the week. Later I stopped by the new gourmet grocery store (Foodland, I think?) in Mauna Lani which is slightly more expensive for non food items, but for food it was pretty comparable to the crummy Kona store and the quality was soooo much better.They also have great prepared foods like sandwiches and salads. If I had to do it again, and I hope I do, I would just shop close by in Mauna Lani. Very nice house, very clean and so big!

  • A spacious, well organised and comfortable home. The condo faces the communal garden of Fairway Villas.The pool is a very short walk and the sea a ten minute walk. We spent a very relaxing three week vacation here. Highly recommended.

  • We are still dreaming Island Dreams! Julie and Tyler's villa is beautiful and so well organized that it was easy to set up and feel at home (except it's bigger and fancier than my home). I think that late September is a treat to stay there because it was so peaceful and most times we had the pool to ourselves and the weather was just perfect. I thank the Williams for sharing this with us!

  • We loved staying at this condo. It was even more beautiful in person than the pictures showed. It was like a 5 star hotel with more room! We have three grown children and there was plenty of room to hang out together in the living room. We loved grilling and eating on the lanai. Everything we needed was there. The island was so much fun. We went to the volcano and watched lava at night. We hiked and snorkeled and kayaked. The best snorkeling and beach was at the nearby Beach Club. Everything about this place was excellent.

  • Our family loved their Island Villa vacation. We loved the view of exotic flowers and birds right from the patio. We could walk to the Fairmont Orchid, the Mauna Lani, and the grocery store. We enjoyed tennis, golf, snorkeling with turtles, and surfing. Cooking in or eating out, all was delicious and easy. Great location, beautiful villa, wonderful island.

  • We loved your villa and had a great time during our stay in April. You provided all the needed extras to keep us and our 4 year old son happy at the beach--shovels,pails, snorkels, etc. The space was great and well kept and everything was super convenient. We loved the veranda at the Fairmont and enjoyed using the grill to cook some great fish. Maholo Lorraine Barrabee

  • Julie and her family thought of everything to make our stay so comfortable. The villa is beautifully decorated and so accomodating for a large family. We had 6 kids plus 4 adults and all had plenty of room. We enjoyed the lagoons at both the Fairmont and Mauni Lani. The kids got such a kick out of the sea turtles and pufferfish swimming beside them. Wish we had more time to explore the island and go to summit of Mauna Kea. We did visit Kona Earth which was a small coffe operation which had us picking the beans right off the bush - very educational. We would definite recomment this villa and area to tour the Big Island. It especially meets the needs for families - lots of toys, snorkel and boogie board gear, baby stuff. Thanks for making it a great stay. The Liges from the Outer Banks of North Carolina

  • Julie and Tyler have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They are also reachable by phone as is their house manager Lorraine who lives about 30 minutes away. We have stayed in many condos, apartments, hotel rooms bed and breakfasts etc in Europe(1/2 our family lives there) in the U.S., Canada and in Mexico. We have been to Hawaii countless times including the Big Island at least eight and we can tell you that all the comments from others are very true. My wife's 60th birthday was memorable because of the appointments, the size of this villa, the location,the proximity and access to two of the finest hotels on the Kohala Coast. Just a tip of running the gamut,from the beautiful views at the Mauna Lani Canoe House and eating the Kona Cold Lobster to Huggos On the Rocks for heavy apps, good Kona beer,a young crowd, and rocking entertainment and dancing. WOW your well thought out visitor's guide made our two weeks go by so fast. Thanks and we can't wait to get back. Sept-Oct 2007. Rob and Mimi
