Location: Palm Villas, Mauna Lani, Kohala Coast, Big Island, Hawaii, USA
Accommodations: Villa, 3 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Keywords: Condo
Luxuriously accommodate your family in a well-maintained, designer decorated Hawaiian plantation style, three bedroom, two full bath condo.
Location-location! The highly desirable security gated Palm Villas community is in a fantastic location within the Mauna Lani Resort. This is a boutique low density property has only 44 units. It is a short walk to the award winning hotel and sandy beaches.
Have no concerns about renting! As the original owners, we operate with the highest integrity standards. We work diligently to keep our recently constructed condo an A+ property. We do not allow a third party to manage our rentals.
We pay all our condo bills and pay them on time. We do not believe that our guests need unpleasant surprises upon arrival. In this tough economy, this is not the situation for all rentals. Some guests do receive unpleasant surprises due the economic situation of the unit’s owner. You will only receive pleasant surprises as our guest!
We regularly professionally clean the carpets and couches, steam the tile floors and mattresses. The AC unit is regularly serviced and filters changed to provide the cleanest interior air.
The master bedroom has a California King bed, the second bedroom has two twin beds and the third bedroom a queen sized bed.
Each bedroom has an iHome iPod/Dual Alarm Clock for your music enjoyment.
We provide L’Occitane soaps for the bath. Linens are regularly replaced and entirely sourced from the mainland. Towels are from Neiman-Marcus affiliate, Horchow. Bed linens are from popular mainland retailers including Pottery Barn Bed and Bath.
As the original owners and former urban dwellers, during the construction of the unit, we paid the builder an additional sum to install soundproofing between the floors as well as in the wall of the adjoining unit. As a result of our foresight, this is a quiet unit. We have been told by guests staying in other units that this has not been their experience.
At the time of purchase, we had our choice of unit location. We remain pleased with our selection. The walk to the pool, gym and garbage dumpster is just one of seconds, yet the condo location is not in these immediate areas. This end unit offers our guests tropical foliage views and a private, tranquil vacation.
The condo is locally managed by an estate manager, and separately, cleaned by a can-do, top notch housekeeping staff.
Condo guests prepare meals in a fully equipped gourmet kitchen. We provide many spices, seasonings and cooking oils. Kitchen appliances include: Cuisinart coffee maker, Cuisinart mini prep, Krups waffle maker, toaster, hand mixer and Waring blender.
Pick up some local fish or Big Island beef and watch the colorful sunset while you cook out on the built in Thermador grill.
Pack lighter and escape expensive airline baggage fees. The condo has a stackable washer and dryer. We provide laundry detergent. All linens, including beach towels are provided.
We provide high speed internet access. If you need to make contact with home or the office, a fax and printer are available for your use.
With the condo telephone, we provide unlimited calling to the US mainland, Canada, Puerto Rico and within the Hawaiian Islands. Cell phone service on the island is generally very good.
The large family room television operates in High Definition. This television also has a DVR for recording or pausing and a DVD player. The master bedroom also has a television and a DVD player.
A tropical flower arrangement greets guests upon arrival. Additionally we treat our guests to samples of local island chocolates and Kona coffee.
This coveted ground floor, end unit location is ideal for children. The unit is surrounded on three sides by grass and ideal for play.
For no additional expense, if needed for young children, we provide our guests with a high chair, Graco Pack and Play (with sheet) and exersaucer. We have many indoor and outdoor toys for children, including Razor scooters and a four wheeled kick scooter. We also have helmets for the children.
For guest enjoyment, the Palm Villas community offers a resort-style lava pool and hot tub with a pleasant trickling waterfall. Condo guests are closer to the upscale Shops at Mauna Lani then hotel guests. Brew your own morning coffee or take a short walk to the Shops or the hotel for a cup.
Only one minute before your massage appointment? No problem. This is the closest condo in the resort to the Mauna Lani Spa and Sports Club. This amazing spa has been voted #1 in Hawaii by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine. The Palm Villas has a gym for guest use.
Enjoy the same access and pricing as hotel guests at the two championship Mauna Lani golf courses.
Additionally, guests receive full privileges and a parking keycard for the members-only newly remodeled Mauna Lani Beach Club at Makaiwa Bay. The Beach Club has a fantastic restaurant for daytime or evening dining. The Beach Club provides chairs but not umbrellas. Have no worries--we have a large and sunny yellow Frontgate brand beach umbrella for your use.
If walking from the condo to the Beach Club is preferred, follow the path that begins just outside the security gate for a twelve minute walk through the historical petroglyph preserve and past the sacred ponds. Makaiwa Bay is a great swimming spot for families with children and has some of the best snorkeling on the island.
Our estate manager is available should you have any questions or issues during your stay. In-condo brochures and maps are included to help plan vacation activities.
Late check-out is generally accommodated for mainland red-eye flights.
When your vacation comes to an end you will have enjoyed a relaxing slice of paradise.
Please contact us soon to secure your desired vacation dates and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity!

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Palm Villas
We had our choice of several properties within the Mauna Lani resort. We are very pleased with our purchase within the Palm Villas. We like the low density and security gate. Many areas along the Kohala Coast can be windy (We have found Waikoloa to be very windy). For the most part, the Palm Villas do not experience the wind. We also have a professionally managed and active homeowners association. We enjoy being owners in the Palm Villas.

My new favorite place to stay on the Big Island

I recommend staying at this condo for so many reasons. I was a beautiful home in a perfect location. The home had everything!!! You truely could arrive with a few items of clothing and personal items and feel like you were in your own home. We enjoyed our stay very much. The renting process was very simple and straight forward. The home is nicer than the photos, it is in a nice spot in the complex and very quiet and relaxing. The owners are honest and helpful, it was a pleasure to rent from them. I am looking forward to my next stay!!!!! I hope you enjoy it as much as my friends, sister and I did!!!!!

When searching through the multiple rental listings for us to stay at, I kept going back to this one. What caught my eye on this location was the many wonderful reviews on it...all of which were favorable, extremely informative and as I found out once we stayed at the property...right on the mark! It felt like walking into our second home instead of a rental property. All of the extra's that were included (kids toys, razors, beach toys, high chair, coolers, etc) allowed us to enjoy our vacation without having to pack everything including the kitchen sink or run down to the store to purchase it! I also loved all of the personal touches that were included...the guide to everything book that Christine put together was extremely helpful as we referred to it on many occasions (and that fresh fish market was awesome!). Everything was just perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything more! Thank you Christine for offering up your lovely home for us to enjoy during our vacation...we will definitely be returning!

The Mauna Lani development continues to be my favorite place to stay and this was an excellent rental. The house was clean, well-decorated and had excellent amentities to make the stay more comfortable. Some examples were boogie boards, scooters, beach bags, coolers and kitchen condiments/spices. While we didn't have young children with us, we were amazed at how much was available for even a baby and small children! We did have a great experience and the owner was very easy to work with. I highly recommend this rental!

Second stay at your place...that said, my wife said upon entering, "it's like being home". Christine, thanks again, we had an excellent time at your home. The boys remembered it and enjoyed the stay. It is as pristine as it was 2 years ago. Once again, we will be back!

Hello Christine, Thanks so very much for the use of your awesome condo this past week! We had a terrific time and were so impressed with all the homey touches you have in place, how well-stocked your beautiful kitchen was, and especially at the amazing selection of beach and baby stuff you had. Everyone, from our 8 month old (who loved your exersaucer and the pool floaties) to my parents who are in their 70's and haven't been to Hawaii in decades, absolutely loved it and had a terrific time. We'd definitely recommend your unit in the future!

Hi Christine: We’re back in Canada. I started missing the condo pretty much as soon as I locked the door. The condo was fabulous—we really enjoyed our 3 weeks. This year we did more things from your activities list. Our 3 favorities was the Kuhana? Ranch, Hula Daddy’s, and the Beach Club for supper. It’s really a great list you put together—we seem to have similar tastes. I believe we left pretty much everything the same. I changed the empty propane tank and used the full one in the garage. I also bought some batteries for the animal train—wouldn’t be the same without that (there’s a few extra batteries in the TV stand drawers. It’s great having the kitchen supply’s and the spices. People can add and replace things. We do a fair bit of cooking. We heard some people in other condo’s need to throw everything out. Just wanted to say thank you for everything. We loved our stay and the late check-out is also very much appreciated. We’re already thinking about coming again next year.

Hi Christine, We had a wonderful time on our vacation and your condo was really fantastic. There was plenty of room for all and the kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed. We enjoyed the flower arrangement - a very nice special touch. The property is in excellent repair and was very clean when we arrived. We have stayed in many condos and they are not always as advertised. Yours was everything you promised and more. As far as the kids were concerned the best thing about the condo was the beach toys. We didn't miss a day making sand castles and riding the boogie boards. We really appreciated having those things available and not needing to go off to Wal-Mart or Costco to buy things that we would have had to leave behind. We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
