About Trude Fawson
Mauna Lani Palm Villas - Unit I-1
Owners: Trude and Scott Fawson

Why Trude Fawson chose Kohala Coast
We started coming to the Big Island in 1999. We were living on a mountaintop in Colorado at 10,500 elevation and needed to escape 5 feet of snow a week in April when the rest of the country was enjoying spring. Our first visit was for 2 weeks. We found that Hawaii was addicting and gradually spent more and more time on the Big Island. We are currently building our dream home in Kona so we can spend the rest of our lives in Paradise. Hawaii is now our home.
What makes this condo unique
We fell in love with the natural beauty of the Mauna Lani Resort. It's a place to forget about work and just relax. We scuba at the Beach Club. We golf on the 2 championship golf courses. We love walking around the fish ponds and reading about the history of Mauna Lani. The restaurants are wonderful. We enjoy watching the whales and all of the ocean life. Knowing that Mauna Lana is an eco friendly resort that cares about the environment is important to us. We find the location of the Palm Villas to be ideal since we can walk anywhere in the resort.
Guestbook comments from the owner
This was our 3rd stay at Palm Villas (and second stay in this unit!!!). This time around we had a blast boogie boarding at Hapuna Beach. A lovely few days at Mauna Kea Beach (arrive before 9 a.m. to get in!!), and as always, awesome snorkeling at the Mauna Lani Beach Club. We had excellent meals at Napua, Tommy Bahama, Café Pesto, and Bamboo (in Hawi). Being from So Cal we found awesome Mexican food at El Maguey in Kona. Also a fun, yummy lunch at Kona Brewing Co. The kids loved the seahorse museum tour and the beach there is beautiful. We will be back soon. Aloha Mahalo

My family has travelled many times and we always use VRBO and this is the first time that we have stayed at the same place twice and cant wait to come back again. This time we brought my parents along with my 2 teenage boys. If you are a first time traveller to the Big Island I would highly recommend staying here. Mauni Lani is 25 minutes away from the airport but beautifully situated for all activities if you enjoy the sun, beach, shopping, eating, quiet and private. There is something for everyone.... when the boys and I would go boogie boarding on the best beach on the island only 10 minutes away my Mom would stay in the shade on the patio and enjoy the birds and gecko's as she read her book or took a dip in the pool that is literally only steps away from the back door. The grounds are so perfectly manicured that you can have full privacy on the top or bottom decks or you can walk thru the grass and trees and end up in the beautiful pool with waterfalls and a hot tub. There is even an exercise room next to the pool and a tennis and spa facility only a 2 minute walk away. we played tennis many times (you pay extra for this facility) and it was probably the best courts that I have ever played on and super friendly staff to help out.... racquets, balls, cold towels, juice and water are all supplied there. After being to the Big Island a few times this is the only place that we will go back to and Trude is an amazing owner who is also a local resident so any questions or issues are quickly dealt with. Here is a list of things that we did in our 11 day stay. You can do anything on the island from here and most things that we wanted to do are within a 30 minute drive. I spend hours and hours researching places to stay and things to do before we travel so that I know that we are going to have a great time, so trust me when I say that if you are lucky enough to stay at this condo, you will never regret it. And I guarantee that you will have so much to do that you will have to come back again.
safe travels.
Incredible house!
Perfect luxurious place for our family of 4 with two young children! Very spacious, clean, with all the amenities, toys, extras (ziploc, saranwrap, etc)... the pool and lanai were a hit! Quiet and breezy... we LOVED it!
Beautiful home!
This condo is gorgeous! The back patio is right off the swimming pool, but its still very quiet. They provide everything you could possible need. I had a highchair for my little one, as well as bath and crib. One of closests also provided every beach toy you could want. The beach is a short drive away inside the complex and its perfect. Very calm and beautiful. My 2yr old LOVED it. So glad we stayed here; we very much enjoyed it!
Loved our Vacation at Mauna Lani
This property doesn't disappoint! It was exactly as nice as it appeared in the photos. It was spacious, well appointed and very comfortable for our family group. I spent 4 days exploring the Kona Coast with my son and his family. WE loved this location and its proximity to dining and shopping. The swimming pool was a big hit with our group as well.
Waking up in Paradise!
We have been to Hawaii 3 times and this was our first time staying at Mauna Lani. If only we had found this property the first time. WOW.... what a perfect location and home. We have 2 young boys (ages 11&13) and having the pool right near our back yard was amazing. I would wake up, have a coffee on the patio, watch the gecko's and birds and soon after the boys would head to the pool for a swim. Mauna Lani is a huge area and we spent hours searching which VRBO location would be best, we read so many reviews of other properties and looked on maps to see which area of Mauna Lani would be most convenient and luckily we chose Trude's home. STOP looking around and do yourself a favor and book this one!!!! I promise you will not be disappointed. We walked every day down to the ocean, going thru the ancient volcano fields with huge abandoned lava tubes and thru the beautiful Hawaiian fish ponds. This property is very quiet and peaceful but you can walk or drive up to the shops and restaurants with ease. Many other properties are only one floor and much smaller, this one had an upstairs with a beautiful master bedroom, ensuite and balcony that was perfect to read on or have a glass of wine after a long day. We spent many days on Hapuna Beach only minutes away and it was great for boogie boarding and there was even a snack shack for treats!
We were so impressed with our stay that we have already booked a return holiday next year. I only wish that I could stay longer!
Perfect Place in Paradise
This was our second trip to this condo and we'll be back again. We love the layout of this incredibly clean and well-designed condo. There were nine of us, five adults and four children ranging in age from 4-13. We were all comfortable and had plenty of room to spread out. The condo has everything you can think of from boogie boards and snorkel gear to ketchup and placemats! We ate every meal outside on the patio, our family's favorite place to hang out and catch up with each other about the day's adventures. The grounds are beautifully kept and the pool has a small waterfall and is an oasis of relaxation and fun. The beach, that is within walking distance or can be easily driven, has some of the best snorkeling on the island. It is also perfect for small children with white sand and almost no waves. The location, in relation to other places on the island, is also fabulous. It is only a couple of hours to the other side of the island and the summit of Mauna Lao. Kona is just 20 minutes away. We know that some people visit the Big Island and spend half their time on the west side and the other half near the volcano but we can't imagine being anywhere but here. Having to leave Mauna Lani is the biggest drawback to this rental- eventually you have to go home!
