Luxury Condo in the Villas - the closest condos to Mauna Kea Beach & Hotel

We recently returned from a wonderful therapeutic stay at Villa #33. The pictures don't do justice to this wonderful home; the floor plan is perfect for families or couples. The layout with the mid-home great room, dining room, and the two large bedrooms at opposite ends can't be beat. The huge modern fully-stocked kitchen was a treat for the chef in our group! We've stayed at the Mauna Kea Beach hotel many times in years past, but this was our first rental property at the resort due to the size of our party. The accessibility to the MK resort and beach is an easy 10 minute walk via the footpath along the golf course. Having full guest privileges at the Mauna Kea and Hapuna properties was the primary deciding factor for us. As previously stated in other reviews, the MK and Hapuna beaches are the best along the Kohala Coast hands-down-- all sand with no rocky bottom. Perfection. We love this section of the Kohala Coast. The idyllic upcountry town of Waimea is an easy 20 minute drive away with many first-rate cafes and restaurants. The large Waimea KTA and Foodland markets are perfect for stocking up on all needs for your wonderful visit at Villa #33!

The booking process with the owners was troubled-free and efficient. We had a few questions and needs prior to our arrival and they readily responded with answers and suggestions. The home was immaculately kept and spotless. We created many lifelong memories during our stay and are looking forward to our next family visit. Mahalo!

The villa was absolutely fantastic. Steps away from Mauna Kea Resort and the most beautiful beach. All the amenities you could ask for and then some. Private pool and flowers everywhere. Clean, convenient and welcoming. I’m ready to go back.

We stayed here over our kids' spring break. The Mauna Kea has the best beach I've ever been on. The kids had so much fun and it's way less crowded and stuffy than the four season. The house is a perfect location with plenty of space, super clean a great view and a pool to boot. I only wish we stayed longer! The owners were great to deal with and made our stay fantastic.

The property is lovely. It is situated close to the beach path and the hotel. The condo is spacious, clean and comfortable. My family has stayed here a couple of times and each time we return we love it even more. We like to hit the local farmers markets, fish market, bakeries, and wine store and eat most of our meals at this stunning location. The house is well stocked with cooking utensils and dishes. The owners have good tast - from the art work to the Hawaiian CDs in their music collection. The owners are very nice and super easy to deal with - they are very flexible and accommodating. This is a perfect place for teens - they like the pool and easy access to the hotel with ping pong, hottub and perfect beach. We did a lot of swimming at the Mauna Kea beach - and enjoyed swimming out to the raft the hotel has anchored off the shore. We always enjoy a night at the Blue Dragon in Kawaihae - 10 minutes away - an open-air restaurant with fun bands and dancing. We have traveled to many places and this is one of our very favorite places. The place has a good balance of luxury, comfort, activities, and peace.

My husband and I, together with our daughter and her spouse, had a wonderful 10 day stay in this beautiful villa overlooking the golf course and Pacific. Our hosts very nicely left breakfast food for us upon arrival after an extremely long day of travel from the east coast and called our first morning to confirm all was in order. The only issue we had was the pool which needed to be cleaned but that was taken care of in a few hours. We could walk to the beach (incredibly beautiful) where we spent almost every morning and had most of our meals in the villa which has a very well equipped kitchen. We did have one breakfast and one lunch at Mauna Kea which was very good but expensive. This was a very good location for us to attend all the wedding festivities in Hawi and to have our grandchildren visit from another condo. They loved the pool which was just the right depth for a tall three year old.

We would definitely recommend this villa to a friend or relative. Only wish it were closer to the east coast!
