This is a clean and well maintained unit, with a nice view of the lava and golf course. The grill and outdoor patio were particularly wonderful. Everything we needed was there. There was even a cooler and beach chairs in the garage. I would definitely stay here again.

Other than some peculiar behavior from the refrigerator, it was a super dandy stay, great location, great accomodations...all in all, a very special place

We found it to be the best stocked condo that we have ever rented - thank you!

Golf Villas E-23 was ideal for us. We spent almost every evening sitting on the lanai, watching the sunset, grilling dinner on the BBQ and relaxing. Having the use of the garage to store our car and golf clubs was very convenient. We used the private Owner's Beach and went snorkeling there several times. We will definitely be back and are planning to stay here again in 2012.

Wonderful Vacation: This was our first trip to the Big Island. Arriving at the Golf Villas condo E-23 set the tone for a memorable trip. The property is spacious, immaculate and tastefully decorated. It is equipped with anything you could want. The grounds were beautiful and the pool and fitness room were nice features. We used them everyday. The Mauna Lani resort is a gorgeous property with many amenities. The grocery store, restaurants and shops were convenient. The owners' beach was a real gem. We loved the tranquility of the condo. My one request would be either some additional walking paths so that you could access the beach on foot easier or access to a bicycle to visit the shops, beach or other properties. Carole Kwiat is an excellent property manager. The communication was superb and the welcome gift appreciated. I would not hesitate to stay at this property again or recommend it to others. Mahalo

Perfect! Our expectations were exceeded. The comfort of the home, well, it provided a wonderful exclusive recluse to relax and enjoy everything it had to offer. The sleeping quarters divine. I like to cook and the kitchen had everything I needed. When you land, get your car, hit Costco-then, for little items, small grocers are nearby. And, the location-on this side of the island you can easily get to wherever you want to go. Oh yeah, the private beach was chill. Go, stay...you won't be sorry. Take care of the joint because we will be back.

We really enjoyed our stay here. I don't see how it could have been any better. I had my wife's family visiting from Japan & it was their first time to Hawaii, what a great first impression. Great value, great location, clean & well stocked, what more can you ask for? Definitely will be recommending E-23 to my friends & family in the future.

Loved our Stay! Our whole experience, from speaking to Carole Kwiat at Escape to Extraordinary right in the beginning to the very end was exceptional. The condo itself was lovely and had all the amenities we required and Carole provided thoughtful gifts which we really appreciated. Based on how wonderful the condo and the development were, we were surprised that most of the workout equipment wasn't functional, so we just took long walks instead. We would highly recommend this property.

Our Perfect Second Home in Hawaii! Carol, our rental agent, could not have been more helpful. She had everything beautifully prepared for our visit. Everything (and more) we needed was provided down to beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers, etc. Additionally, Carole provided a pack n play crib for our new granddaughter! Perfection was our vacation.

When visiting the Big Island, I would never stay anywhere else. Great location, spotless, great value and comfortable. This is a beautiful home in nearly new condition. We loved every minute of our time there. Thanks so much Carol! Karen and Ken

We had a great vacation and loved our place.Plenty of room for a family of four and the in laws. Kids had a bed to share upstairs and the adults had comfy beds in their own private rooms. I must say the the stairs going up from the door were a little bit of a hazard for the little one but we found a compression gate in the garage which worked perfectly!Everything about this place was well thought out. Carole and the people running the show were professionals...not just owners trying to make a buck off their condo when they are gone!

Our stay at the Golf Villas at the Mauna Lani Resort was incredible. We were extremely pleased with the condo. The pictures really do not do it justice. The beds are beautifully soft and it is so quiet and serene that we slept entirely too well! The location is ideal as it is close to all the best beaches and has amenities right near by. I do not hesitate in recommending this Golf Villa. In fact, we are already plotting our return!

I loved our stay on the Big Island in E23. This property should receive a 10 for a rating! We met friends that stayed at another Condo on the Island and they were jealous of our condo versus their condo. It was a beautiful condo with everything which included a beach cooler and beach chairs. I only wished I had booked a longer stay at the Mauna Lani Golf Villa versus spending a week on Waikiki prior to coming to stay at Mauni Lani. I have already recommended this condo to many of my friends.

Wow - what a find! E-23 is a terrific place to stay when visiting The Big Island. The condo was beautifully furnished, the beds were very comfortable (a must in our book), the kitchen was well-stocked, and the location was outstanding. As a resort, Manui Lani is one of the best on the Big Island. Grounds maintainence and security were excellent. We were at the Owner's Beach almost everyday and loved the convenience of having a grocery store, restaurants and interesting shops on site. Carole Kwiat could not have been more professional and accommodating. I will not hesitate to recommend this condo to our family and friends. On a 5-star scale, I would definitely rate it a FIVE! - S.
