Map & Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Mauna Kea
Our dream to have a home on the Big Island came true with our purchase of this beautiful oceanview condo in Wai'ula'ula at the Mauna Kea Resort. The sunsets here are gorgeous and the pool and fitness center are close by and fabulous. The nine world class golf courses nearby and the spectacular tennis facility at the Mauna Kea Hotel made our decision a no-brainer!!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Every morning we take the short stroll to the fitness facility, pool and hot tub - literally just a few steps from our condo. Larry works out like a pro while whatching sports on the tvs mounted on reclining bikes, ellipticles and treadmills. He then heads to the pool and hot tub, and takes a warm rinse in the private outdoor shower (separate men's and women's outdoor showers).
Julie enjoys a different morning routine, sunning on a comfy lounge chair by the pool, shaded by palm trees while reading her Kindle and sipping coffee brought from home. Our unit is the closest one to the fitness/pool area, so we often feel like we have the whole place to ourselves!
Later in the day, we love to explore the nearby towns of Waimea, Hawi, and Kapa'au. And of course we enjoy long walks on the beaches at Hapuna and Mauna Kea. Opportunities abound to enjoy Hawaiian music and culture - and we love to share an evening of music and dance at the Blue Dragon Musicquarium nightclub just 3 miles away in Kawaihae!
Of course, our other favorite evening in Hawaii is a quiet one at home: sharing a cool drink on the lanai while watching the sunset, and then enjoying dinner, often with friends over as guests. The condo complex has a very calm, quiet atmosphere, the perfect place for a relaxing get-away.
Famous hotel and beach where you can use your amenity cards to enjoy the facilities
Cafe Pesto, Tres Hombres, Seafood House, Harbor Grill Farmers Market every day

We are a happily retired couple from Northern California. We love to travel and play golf and tennis - spending winters on the Big Island gives us the ability to do both, without leaving home!

beautiful property with all the amenities

My family stayed at this property over the Xmas holidays 2011. It was perfect for us. The unit is in immaculate condition, has all the creature comforts of a luxury apt, and is very spacious. We also like the flexibility to go to the Mauna Kea beach/pool/gym or the Hapuna Prince beach/pool/gym. I highly recommend this property for families who don;t want to stay in a hotel, be cramped in a 400 sf room and eat out 3 meals per day. The logistics were seamless and we'd stay here again next year and refer people to this property. Excellent!

This was our first, and certainly, not our last time staying at a condo and it couldn't have been more lovely. Our collective jaws dropped when we entered the front door...this is really such a beautiful and spacious place! The convenience ot the two nearby resorts with their fabulous beaches just added to it all. I would highly recommend it!
Owner response:So happy to spoil you! Glad to hear we succeeded in giving the decor an upscale, uncluttered feel, while providing cushiony comfort throughout. We enjoy adding occasional touches of red to the color scheme – our latest additions are watercolors from our travels in China. The large painting of the Yangtze River above the great room TV was painted on a river-cruise by the ship’s artist and calligrapher who’s also a master at kung fu and gymnastics!

This condo provides 5 star amenities including state of the art appliances, wonderful furnishings with beautiful décor, large comfortable rooms with equally comfortable beds and a patio that provides a spectacular view of palm trees and the ocean. The location is ideal as the condo is a 5 minute walk to the community pool and situated on a beautiful golf course. Some of the best beaches in the country are a 5 minute drive away. The owners pride in this condo is evident in every aspect. You WILL NOT be disappointed!
Owner response:Thank you for the lovely comments! It’s very important to us that our guests are comfortable – we are very picky when choosing furnishings, keeping style and comfort always in mind. The chaise part of the sofa is always a favorite spot to kick back and read or watch the 52” TV. A new ottoman for the chairs and also large floor pillows (handmade with Hawaiian fabrics!) fill out the comfort zone in the great room. And the beds HAVE to be comfortable, when you’ve got a full day ahead of you of golf, or tennis, or hiking, or beaching, or even hula dancing lessons!

Everything was as good or better than advertised. Mauna Kea beach is amazing - best beach in Hawaii. Hapuna Prince Golf course was fun to play and was not busy midweek. The photos don't do this place justice - it is nicer in person. Perfect setup for a family. Kitchen has everything you need to cook and eat in if you don't feel like a restaurant everyday. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the Big Island.

Thank you for renting us your home in Wai ula ula. We had a fabulous time. The weather was great, the unit is spacious and very luxurious. Judging from the decor, you have traveled extensively. Both Mauna Kea and Hapuna Prince hotels have much to offer; beautiful beaches and great facilities. We loved the exclusive catamaran trip from the Mauna Kea; only 12 people. We saw a pod of about 300 spinner dolphins that just made the trip more special. Hope we can get back to the Big Island some day. Mahalo.
Owner response:Glad to hear your WaiUlaUla vacation was everything you wanted it to be. Mahalo for the great tip about the catamaran sailing trip - what a huge pod of dolphins! There really are so many incredible things to do on the Big Island - a stay here can be the vacation of a lifetime!

unforgettable vacation in Big Island

We just came back home from the wonderful vacation at your condo. Your villa was just amazing. We had one of the best vacation ever. We have been to other Hawaii islands, but never been to Big Island. Now we all are a big fun of Big Island. Every day was beautiful and shining without rain. Your condo is so comfortable, so we just stayed in house almost all day for first two days. I really like the breeze in the room when windows are open. It was so relaxing. The children loved their own bed rooms. I love to cook and had a great time using your kitchen, which has almost everything you need. Besides going to beach and hotel pool, we took private tennis lessons for three days at Mauna Kea Resort. We wish we could stay longer. We definitely want to go back again in the future.

Thank you Larry and Julie! We loved your place in paradise. Great location and views. We were very impressed by your interior decor. The kitchen is well equipped with quality cookware. The condo feels like a $4,000/night Four Seasons suite. We are telling our friends and family where stay on their next trip to the islands...your place. Cant wait to return.

Review Submitted: 06/17/10
We just returned from a fantastic 2 weeks at this condo in Wai'ula'ula. We're already talking about booking it again next year. The condo is beautifully appointed with EVERYTHING you need for a family vacation. It is clean, easy, beautiful views, easy access to the Hapuna Prince and the Mauna Kea and easy access to the recreational center. Early morning walks down to the Mauna Kea beach were lovely & scenic, as well. The rooms are large and comfortable, as is the lanai and the living room. Every day we would drive (or take the hotel shuttle) to either hotel's beach and spend the day there with snorkeling gear and a cooler with our drinks & lunch. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

A wonderful relaxing week at the Mauna Kea

Review Submitted: 04/07/10
We had a wonderful stay at Oceanview Mauna Kea. The property was clean and well-maintained. The views of the ocean were outstanding. This particular location on the big Island provides a unique opportunity to be in a dry desert like climate which is very comfortable. The tropical breezes at night keep you comfortable. Waking up early in the morning is such a pleasure when you can walk to the amenity center in two minutes. I liked starting each day with a workout utilizing the exercise equipment, a swim in the pool and a soak in a hot tub followed by an outdoor private shower. The golf courses are challenging in every way. Watching a whale breach in the ocean before you tee off is truly unique. I have recommended this property to many of my friends.
