Aloha and welcome to Halenani, the premiere estate on Hawaii's sunlit Kohala Coast. Halenani is unique in its ability to create a paradise oasis within paradise itself. The superb landscape design, ponds and gardens surrounding the home sing to you from afar and beckon you to enjoy the very best of tropical luxury. No expense was overlooked in its building. The lot is perhaps the best of Champion Ridge, affording stunning golf, mountain, and ocean views by day and unforgettable sunsets and starlight by night. Walking through the gated foyer with its flowing ponds, lush flowers and waterfalls, you realize that Halenani is unlike any other estate with its majestic and 'Garden of Eden'-like facade.
Why limit the never-ending luxuries that comprise Halenani to yourself? Bring along friends; there's plenty of room! The 7-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom home provides each guest central access to the main living areas while yielding privacy all the same. After a swim in the warm, sky-blue ocean or in Halenani's unique infinite-edged pool and spa, why not retreat to your very own private shower garden outdoors, available to all of the suites? It's just so easy to spend the day indoors when you are treated to bedrooms with king-sized beds, automated curtains, walk-in closets, oversized bathrooms with dual-head showers, vanities, and outdoor showers, an office area with its own Apple iMac computer, and your very own 46-inch high-definition television (equipped with HD Satellite TV, Blu-Ray DVD Players and their own stereo systems)! Every single room is air conditioned separately, so you will never fight over an optimal temperature again!
If you have kids, they will be so pleased to learn that they have their very own wing with two bedrooms and a media room of its own! The Surfrider Suite encompasses two bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed and the other with two bunk bed sets, attached by a dual bathroom. It even has its own media area with a 50-inch television (equipped with 4 video game consoles, a karaoke system, HD Satellite TV, and a Blu-Ray DVD Player).
When you are in the mood to entertain, Halenani is THE spot to do so. A cook's dream kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, an enormous pantry, and four dishwashers make cooking a pleasure three times a day. Dining areas, with combined seating for 20, ensures that space is never an issue. A grand living room with hanging heliconias overhead lures guests to sit and converse for hours while elevated above the lanai. The lanai also provides a dining area of its own and a spacious gas grill for the perfect Hawaiian barbecue. It's all so easy!
You want entertainment? Halenani provides it all. A dedicated media room provides guests with a 50-inch television (equipped with Satellite TV, Cable, Blu-Ray DVD, VCR, and more) plus an 80' hi-def lanai LED TV with museum enclosure each with an easy-to-use touchscreen interface to access it all. Enjoy an automated massage from one of the iJoy massage chairs or engage in games in the gaming area towards the rear. Want to watch a movie during the day? Use the automated blackout curtains to ensure the paramount of home cinema experiences. Additionally, you may enjoy movies on the outdoor cinema area -- located on the lanai for outdoor/pool viewing! The outdoor area is equipped with Blu-Ray DVD, HD Satellite TV, AppleTV and a VCR. How much better can it get?
When you finally will yourself to leave Halenani and go explore the island, it is so easily done. Lounge at the exclusive Homeowner's Beach Club with its very own restaurant and everything you would need for the day! No need to bring snorkeling equipment -- you can access everything you need there! Take a stroll through the ancient Hawaiian fishponds or bike through the great lava fields and caves all within Mauna Lani Resort! Visit petroglyphs, sandy beaches, and splendid hotels (the Mauna Lani Bay and the Fairmont Orchid, both 5-star) are located within Mauna Lani Resort as well. How convenient!
If you do decide to stay with us at Halenani, which would be a fantastic decision on your part, we shall send you a complete list of our recommended activities, as well as driving directions and restaurants, on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Safety is our priority at Halenani. In addition to a photoelectric pool alarm system, an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and numerous first aid kits are stationed throughout the home.
Halenani is also eco-friendly with 112 x 230 Watt solar panels on the lanai roof but hidden from any view. Most days, these produce up to 150Kwh of solar power, plus a separate solar hot water heater supporting 280 gallons on continuous hot water and 9 available showers and a private jacuzzi in the master bath. Master bath also has built-in steam room capabilities in the dual master shower.
Just relax, breathe on a sandy beach and smell the sweet aroma of Plumerias in bloom. Halenani will pamper you and make your Hawaiian adventure unforgettable.

The perfect Big Island vacation home
The perfect Big Island vacation home

Out of all the available properties, this one caught my eye for my wife's 50th birthday. The open floor plan, gourmet kitchen, spacious rooms, infinity pool, etc made this a clear winner. The thing is though: the pictures DO NOT do justice to this home. You enter through a stunning entryway over a pond into a huge open living area. The area is open to the outside (though can be enclosed). It is like living outside in the warmth of Hawaii, but protected by the elements! Simply amazing! All the rooms are private enclaves with many special touches including outdoor showers. This house leverages the great weather of the Kohala coast to maximum advantage. The owners are personable and easy to work with, and the local contact is on call for anything just minutes away. If you are looking for a special place, stop looking. You have found it.Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Home was great, well appointed and stocked with everything you would need - great kitchen and appliances even a fresh coffee bean coffee brewer, computers in all the bedrooms, large lani with big screen tv and awesome views, great service from the rental agents. It met all our expectations for a one of our best Hawaii vacations.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you. We strive to think of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. This is not a "rental home" per-se. It is our permanent home, so we only will rent up to 6 weeks a year, no more. We are selective in terms of groups and fastidious about maintenance. We aim to be the best property in Mauna Lani for a group looking for a comfortable big house. We love it when great guests like you appreciate the care and attention to detail that we have put into our home.

Halenani- The Perfect Vacation House
Halenani- The Perfect Vacation House

Our trip to Halenani was spectacular from the moment we walked through the doors and were struck by the awesome views that can be seen from almost every corner of the wide open layout of this home. Beyond the views this home was in immaculate condition throughout and the owners have thought of everything in providing for themselves and those lucky enough to rent this home for a vacation. The bedrooms were spread out and afforded privacy while the main living areas were open to the beauty of the island and beyond. The pool and entertainment options were a hit with the kids and the kitchen was a hit with the cooks! The property managers were also extremely helpful and responsive. Pictures in the listing barely do this house justice and no one in our party had any interest in leaving this property at the end of our stay. We all found it the clear highlight of our almost three week Hawaiian trip after staying at the St Regis on Kauai and the Four Seasons on Maui for our first two stops. We hope to return some day again soon with the Halenani Estate being a prime draw.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

I was delighted that my family consented to try the Big Island for our semi-annual Hawaii vacation, as it is far and away my favorite place on the planet. Any apprehension someone in our group of 9 may have had about our destination was immediately dismissed upon stepping inside this glorious estate. Halenani is simply the finest vacation property I have ever had the pleasure to visit, and that includes many of the world's finest hotels and resorts. The design, layout, amenities, comfort, ambience, location - all absolutely first rate. The estate has been maintained in immaculate condition, so much so that we all felt truly privileged to be able to stay in such a beautiful home. The only thing I'd change is the duration of our stay - one week is not enough when surrounded by such splendor! Many thanks for sharing your lovely residence with us. We definitely hope to return someday.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Family Reunion
Family Reunion

I hosted a family reunion for 4 families and 14 people and was blessed to have found this property through VRBO. The house far exceeded our expectations, and the rooms, layout, amenities, fixtures, pool and jacuzzi and landscaping are much much nicer when experienced in person than portrayed in the pictures. My first comment is that this property is the owner's personal home on the Big Island, and is not a property that was purchased for rental purposes. They clearly put a lot of work into the architectural flow of the house and aesthetic features. We has 14 people in our party and all were easily and comfortably accommodated in the 6 beautifully appointed bedrooms. The common living room, media room, dining room and kitchen areas & outdoor deck/lanai were all ample with comfortable furniture throughout. The fantastic pool was a daily attractor for the entire family, and the stargazing at night from the pool deck / lanai is simply awesome. Despite the many attractions of the Big Island, the house was really the centerpiece of our stay, and cited by all as one of the best memories we will take away from this family vacation. The property managers were super helpful, responsive and gracious - and went out of their way with helpful suggestions on beaches, activities, etc. The house has been kept in immaculate condition, as it is primarily a home for the owners and not just a designed-for-rental property. I will recommend this particular house to any of my friends that are visiting the Big Island. You get the luxury of a Four Seasons type property, but you can house a very large party under 1 roof.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you. We take great pride to see that EVERYTHING is maintained to the utmost. This is a private home, one that I will only rent 6 weeks a year when we are not on island. We do not take rentals for less than one week, and are very careful to whom we rent. We love all the positive feedback because this is a matter of loving our home, not having to rent it. We believe this is the finest large home for rent at Mauna Lani, but my wife and I will never over-rent as we care far more about the condition and maintenance of the house than any monetary consideration. Thank you again for your kind words.

My family spent a week at Halenani and had the best week. There were 14 of us. 10 adults and 4 children. The house is simply amazing. The house had the most amazing bedrooms and a professional kitchen. Great infinity pool, beautiful pool and fantastic views. Will come back next year. This was the nicest house we have ever rented - anywhere!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

We spent 20 unbelievable days at Halenani. We had friends for half and family for the other. EVERYONE was amazed at the property, views, kitchen and pool. Not to mention the bedrooms and outdoor living. The main part of the home opens up and you are virtually in paradise inside and out. This is the perfect place for entertaining a large group. Enjoy the built in entertainment systems. Especially the selection of music that can play throughout the home. We searched long and hard for place that would accomodate 14 people and it did not disappoint.Owner response: We appreciate the honest feedback. We try hard to make guests feel welcome and maintain the house in a way we would expect if we were renting ourselves.

We stayed at 'Halenani' for a week-long period and were very very pleased. The house is not only beautiful but there was so much for us to do there. The pool was great for everyone and I loved the kitchen - it's huge! The bedrooms are well- appointed and each of them is unique. We had a party of 9 - 6 adults, 3 kids - and we didn't even need three of the bedrooms. The separate A/C units were terrific and the bathrooms are nice with walk-in lava showers. Kids loved the main media room and the video game room in the kids area. All in all we had an excellent stay and will soon be returning!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2003
About the owner: Ever since my wife and I honeymooned on the Big Island, O'ahu and Maui, we simply fell in love with the Hawaiian Islands and their splendor. In 2000, we decided to pursue our dreams of building a home on the Big Island of Hawaii, our favorite of the islands we had visited then and still our favorite after experiencing all of Hawaii. We purchased our land in the exclusive Champion Ridge subdivision as it seemed the most exciting and friendly of the neighborhoods at the five-star Mauna Lani Resort and we have never regretted our decision. Halenani, our seven-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom estate was completed in March of 2003. We now have children who enjoy the house and love to bring along friends -- they never want to leave! We are excited to be sharing our home with the world through VRBO and hope to see you at Halenani some day!
Why the Owner Chose Champion Ridge:
Champion Ridge at Mauna Lani is very private yet friendly and exciting all the same. It is gated, affording privacy, yet also has a putting green and neighborhood pavilion, allowing for the BEST of everything. This is simply the best 7 bedroom home for rent at Mauna Lani. Everything is top of the line.
The Unique Benefits at this Estate:
We love going to the beach! We are beach-hunters and travel all over the island just to reach our favorite beaches. Our favorite at the moment is Kauna'oa Beach, which has often been voted the best in the United States and one of the top 5 world beaches! We enjoy sunning on our lanai, swimming in our pool and unwinding in our wonderful flower garden.
