Something new every visit.
Owner's Map of Mauna Kea
Our family has enjoyed this house for decades. While it is more of a home than a traditional rental, we enjoy sharing this incredible and classic Mauna Kea home with those who appreciate the Mauna Kea and its Hawaiian elegance. All four of our children learned to swim in the pool and one day will teach theirs to swim there as well. We spend as much time here as possible and learn something new about the island on each visit. We hope you choose to experience old Hawaii at our home. Tim and Susan. Piedmont, California

This clean, secluded, beautifully decorated, airy, open house is so homey, comfortable, and well-stocked that our grandchildren thought it belonged to us. It was everything promised and more. There are a drawer-full of children's books, a cupboard stocked with games and puzzles for all ages, spices in the pantry, boogie boards and snorkels in the shed, and lots of space for everyone. The views of the fairway and ocean are magnificent and there is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors for island eating. The owners' and managers' plan is clearly to make a visitors' stay so delightful that they have no choice but to return. Both were were reachable and wonderful. Add to that the option of Mauna Kea Resort amenities--chairs and towels on their crescent, white sand beach, etc.--and this can't be beat. My husband got gold stars from all our adult kids for finding this place for us!

Peaceful House lives up to its name

This property lives up to its description. It is elegant, comfortable, and well equipped with everything needed for a wonderful vacation. Our family enjoyed a happy week here, including eating dinner together each night on the lanai while watching the sun set. The owners are professional in their handling of rentals and followed up after we arrived to ensure everything was in order. My husband and I are great fans of the Mauna Kea hotel, but having spent time at this home and at the other property we rented for this trip, will definately consider staying at a house the next time we return rather than in the hotel.

We had a fabulous time. Susan and Tim really do their best to make you feel at home. The pictures don't really do the place justice -- it's much more beautiful. The house is very well-appointed and had everything we could have wanted. The saline pool was FANTASTIC! My wife was happy the pool didn't damage her hair and our 8 month old son and loved swimming every day. The beach at the Mauna Kea resort was one of the best, if not THE best, beaches we'd ever been to. Left completely relaxed and recharged. Can't wait to stay again...

Exceeding expectations

The photos and description of "Peaceful House", while accurate, cannot fully prepare you for the astonishing grace and beauty of the property. Beautiful views of the sunset over the ocean, well-kept garden and pool, exquisite lanai for dinner, cocktails, breakfast, and reading, beautifully furnished interiors, and a kitchen with everything you need for a large family gathering. The owners were readily available to answer any question that came up. We enjoyed the golf, tennis and beach and could not have wished for anything more during our pre-Christmas "present" to the whole family.

The owners of this home go out of their way to make sure that the renters love "their Hawaii" as much as they do. The house was in perfect condition, and well appointed for our two families. We have vacationed all over the world together, and this met all of our expectations . A lovely note from the owners made us feel right at home. I would highly recommend this property

My husband and I celebrated with our children and grandchildren in this beautiful home in a magical place. The accomodations were perfect, but the setting and views were what it's all about. The layout of the house brought the outdoors in, and drew you from the inside out from morning until night. The hottub was a big hit - such a gorgeous setting overlooking the golf course and the ocean and majestic sunsets. The beach at Mauna Kea - one of our favorite places in the world - was our destination most days, but we did manage to fit in some exploration of the big island too. Our whole experience was enhanced by the eagerness of the owners to make our stay easy, comfortable and relaxing. We're already talking about going back to stay there again some day . . .

Absolutely Fabulous !! My wife and I spent 5 days at this fantastic luxurious home. The house had everything we could have wnated for our vacation. The pool and hot tub are great. They and the outdoor lanai overlook the golf course and offered spectacular views of the ocean. We were so close we even spotted whales Jumping, all from the breakfast table. The location is so close, you walk to the spectacular Mauna Kea resort beach. The sand is white and soft, the auqua blue water was tons of fun. We snorkled and saw turtles and had a great time. This house was immaculate. We will be back to enjoy the view of the stars while sipping champagne in the hot tub. The owners arranged for a pick up and drop at the airport and gave us great suggestions for exploring. What a great place to vacation.

A beautiful, luxurious, welcoming home. Architecture that is a mix of modernist (long flowing clean lines) and traditional Hawaiian (warm, dark woods,natural materials, open doors that bring the tropical ambiance to you). Lushly appointed. I have stayed here seven times, and enjoyed myself each and every time. The view of the azure blue Pacific from the lanai early in the morning cannot be matched--something that is also true of sitting beside the substantial swimming pool, later at night, staring at bright shining stars twinkling in a sky that looks like an open jewelry box. A perfect place for families, friends who like to vacation together--or even the occasional Ironman competitor. Like me.
