Why the Owner Chose Mauna Kea
We have been to many islands, but there is no place like home at the Mauna Kea Resort. The seclusion and peaceful surroundings enhance a true "get-a-way from it all" vacation with families and friends. The beaches at each hotel and the service that is part of the resort amenities may resemble that found at other resorts, do not come close to that offered at the Mauna Kea. Not a tiny piece of a beach shared by thousands, but a big piece of the beach, shared by few.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Our condo is situated in the perfect location. Ocean views with palm trees blowing in the wind. Right next door to the Amenity Center with an infinity pool, kiddie pool, hot tub, BBQ area, workout facility, full kitchen, living room, and media/game room for use by any guest. Not to mention both hotels just minutes away!
Waiulaula is a new community within the Mauna Kea Resort just minutes to each beach. Our condo has beautiful ocean and coast line views.
Owner's Map of Mauna Kea
This condo is owned by two siblings and their hubbies who cherish it and love the memories it has created. We are humbled that you have chosen our home to be your home away from home.

Wai'ula'ula has quickly become our home away from home! We have been coming here for Thanksgiving and Christmas for 4 years now and have had an amazing experience every time. The condo is set up perfectly for multi-generational trips. Our parents and children lived comfortably together for 10 days in this spacious home! We love having access to a great kitchen and BBQ when we just want to stay in for the night, watch a movie and relax. The work out room, pool and hot tub are fantastic and just a short walk away. It's a 2 minute drive to our favorite beach in the world! The Mauna Kea hotel not only has a great beach, but also lovely restaurants and convenient shopping. Everything about this place is perfection to us!

Please do not rent this condo if you are difficult or do not take good care of things. You truly are a guest in a gracious home with a thoughtful hostess. Donna was wonderful to work with and even helped us rent the upstairs condo since there were eleven in our family group, 6 adults and children from 16 to 6. Everything is in wonderful condition and as listed.This condo has very comfortable beds and we all slept well. We always travel light but when I saw all the closest space and hangers I was sorry I did not bring more. We had six cooks (think the foodie family) and we all helped and found there was everything we needed to fix our meals. The vegetable stand in the parking lot of the Blue Dragon had very good tomatoes, papayas and green beans- plus there were wonderful tropical flowers for not very much. On Fridays there is a stand there that has wonderful Huli chicken (go near noon). There is also a place where you can buy fish from the locals on the road to Hawi across from the shave ice stand. We enjoyed the Mauna Kea Laua, Bamboo, Blue Dragon -liked grocery shopping in Waimea, farmers market in Hilo.Having the pass to use the pools and beaches was a game changing advantage with the children. The Hapuna Prince has a larger pool and better waves and snorkeling. There were lots of turtles swimming around us which was great fun The condo complex gym is terrific and all the type A's in our group were there every morning. If you have never worked out at a gym this is a lovely place to start. The pool is very pretty and open until 10pm if you want to have an evening swim. We liked having a garage to park our car in out of the sun, and there is a treasure chest of snorkeling equipment, picnic gear and such in the garage. The best part for us was that it was very quiet and peaceful, lots of birds singing, flowers blooming, so everyone relaxed and had the aloha spirit. We had our coffee and breakfast out on the terrace, and in the evening we were back outside at the big table just enjoying being there in the warm air and watching the sun set in the ocean. The weather was perfect everyday.This location is also very central for taking trips in the middle of the day when you need to be out of the sun.This condo was wonderful and the only negative was that we had signed up for only one week because none of us wanted to leave.

Our stay at the Mauna Kea condo was fabulous! The Condo was beautiful, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed! Wonderful views and access at the the Hapuna Beach and Mauna Kea resorts was icing on the cake! Our husbands played golf at both resorts and enjoyed both. The Hapuna pool was lovely and we really enjoyed the Mauna Kea beach. We will definitely be back!

We just wanted to thank you for the outstanding month we have had in paradise. Your condo is wonderful. We loved your location and views of the ocean and harbor. Many evenings we cooked and ate on your lanai watching the amazing sunsets--what could be better. This is our seventh trip to the Big Island but our first trip to really enjoy and explore North Kohala, Waimae and Kona. Our children agreed that we must come back here on our next trip to the islands and we promise to do just that. Thank you so much for all your help with our time here.

Our family of four (inc. teen boys 12/15) along with another couple traveled to the Big Island to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We stayed for 10 days and we knew we wanted to be near great beaches, restaurants, shopping, great golfing and spas. It was very important for us to have a lanai with a grill, but the added sunsets each night were stunning. We absolutely loved our time at this condo. Mauna Kea beach was our favorite although my sons loved snorkeling at Hapuna Beach. Both are so conveniently located to the condo and walking to the amenity center became a nightly treat at the pool and jacuzzi. The condo is very well equipped with all the things you need and we definitely over shopped at Costco. The photos reflect exactly what you see when you walk in. Our boys LOVED their room and chilling out after a full day of activities. The beds were all so comfortable and the bathrooms very high end. It was easy to settle in like home while we were there and we would absolutely come back. The spa at the Mauna Kea was very good and we spa a lot. We even did the luau at the Mauna Kea and my boys loved the old Hawaiian legends they told. The food was very good and plentiful. After living in Texas for the past 17 years, I loved the beach time the most. The sand at the beaches is so powder like. There is so much to do on the island we had to plan beach down days too. Donna and her sister were so helpful and easy to reach both prior to the trip and while we were there. We all fell in love with this island and can't wait to make it a regular family vacation spot. We ziplined, a lot of golf, boat tours to see the lava tubes, helicopter trip (which is the only way to see lava at this time), enjoyed deep sea fishing and snorkeled in Capt. Cook's Cove. Aloha!

Our family just returned from your gorgeous home and outstanding beaches of Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach. What an amazing trip! We are aching to go back already. The house was beautiful in every way. Plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 teens and 2 children. The beds were comfortable, linens were perfect. Plenty of hot water to go around. It truly was a home away from home. With a large family, we ate in almost everyday and there was plenty of pantry space and room to cook. Loved the kitchen! Gas burners and dual dishwasher were a plus! The beaches were close, beautiful and not crowded at all. And having been to other islands, Mauna Kea was one of the best beaches we have visited. The snorkeling was fabulous. We saw turtles, sting rays and even squid, a rare treat. The fish are amazingly beautiful and water was clear. The weather was perfect! Our kids had a blast. Grandma and Grampa boogie boarded for the first time and said it was the best vacation they have ever had. We had a couple of minor problems but Donna and Eileen attended to them quickly and efficiently. We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. If we come back to the Big Island, we will definately stay here again. Mahalo!!
Owner response:Thank you Kimberly! You and your family are the sweetest renters!!! Your textes telling us you were having a wonderful time made our day!!! Can't wait for your return! Donna & Eileen!

The condo was awesome. Wonderful layout, decor & location/view. Proximity to amenity facility was great – we used the pool & hot tub daily (probably should have used the fitness center, oh well, can work out now that we’re home). Loved the infinity pool. We did the tourist things in the first week (drove around the island, saw the volcano, drove to Hawi etc.), but always ended up in the infinity pool at the end of the day. The guys golfed Hapuna course. Girls went shopping. Loved both hotel beaches & pools (my favorite was Hapuna pool). It was nice that we didn’t have to take towels to either (therefore didn’t have to wash 6 beach towels each day). Condo was better equipped than any I have rented before. Beds were very comfortable. In summary, we had wonderful holiday and really enjoyed staying in your condo. We look forward to returning and would highly recommend to our friends.

Luxurious Settings!
Guest: Five from Canada!
(Cranbrook, BC - Canada)
Date of Stay: 02/12/11
Review Submitted: 02/24/11
From the moment we arrived, we delighted in languishing in the luxurious settings. Everything was immaculate and operated as new. The lanai area was expansive and lent itself perfectly for pleasant dinners while discussing the next day’s plans. We found this beauty of a property to literally gobble up our party of five as there was so much space including three large, extremely comfortable bedrooms. Our two teenage daughters fell in love with the “surf room “and at times my husband and I thought we would never get them back to Canada. My mother has traveled extensively for her business, to many fine establishments over the years and she was very impressed when we walked through the door and from then on. I have to tell you, she loved the place, the setting and told me many times “what a great choice I had made! “! We all spent a decent amount of time at the excellent amenity center, working out and swimming in the lovely infinity pool. It was very handy to the condo which meant the girls could head up there after dinner while the rest of us sat outside listening to the peaceful night sounds. The entire Mauna Kea resort area is enveloped with a great sense of security which is a really nice change to what one experiences in other areas. We enjoyed spending time on (from what the locals told us) the two finest beaches on the big island. We found the area great and very peaceful for morning walks and runs along the grassy sides of the roads following the golf course. Everyone we came across while utilizing any of the many, many amenities at Hapuna beach and Mauna Kea hotels, were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We hope to stay again one day and highly recommend this property!

Everything was absolutely wonderful. Donna (the owner) was extremely helpful both before and during our stay. The gourmet kitchen was fully equipped for all of our culinary needs. The property was well maintained and clean. We took full advantage of the home's proximity to the amenity center. I would highly recommend this property.

Incredible Thanksgiving

Sometimes you see a listing and it seems too good to be true...this Wai'ula'ula condo far exceeded our expectations! Beautiful views of the coast and volcanoes, well-stocked kitchen, stylish tropical common rooms, and large comfortable bedrooms...we felt at home shortly after we walked in the front door. It was a great place to celebrate Thanksgiving with our grown children and having access to the Mauna Kea beach and hotel was awesome! We used the boogie boards there and at Hapuna, made frequent use of the Amenity Center on site (45 second walk from the condo), and had the best burgers on the Island at Village Burgers in Waimea. Donna was the best owner I have dealt with on VRBO and the descriptions and experience were accurate to her listing...be sure to watch the virtual tour for a representative idea of what is in store for you.
