Happy Repeat Customer
This is the third time my family or I have stayed in this lovely home. Mark is a great host who promptly answers any questions. Kitchen is wonderfully equipped, linens plentiful, and beach chairs, snorkel gear, cooler are provided. This Fairways location overlooks a large tropical garden and is a short walk to the pool making this house perfect for adults looking for quiet and also entertaining for the younger guests. Other area amenities include a handy grocery store and access to the "owners beach". We look forward to returning!

Family fun at Mauna Lani Golf Villas
Our family had a wonderful stay at the Mauna Lani golf villas. The property was spacious, clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We especially loved the house tiki and personal touches throughout - it felt like a home. The lanai had lovely pool and garden views, and it was great to grill and relax at the outdoor table. The kitchen has everything you need, and we enjoyed making some great meals with local ingredients from the nearby marketplace. Having access to the Mauna Lani beach club was a great benefit that we used a lot. The private pool area that's right outside from the property was wonderful as well. We appreciated the updated laundry room and being able to refresh our beach towels and swimsuits that were getting funky while we stayed. A truly relaxing and wonderful stay on the beautiful Kohala coast. We hope to come back!

Deceptive listing
Unfortunately the listing and price of unit is based on number of guests which was never disclosed. Sleeps 4 was listed, we fully paid for 2 guests, then invited friends and rate was raised $54.00 per night. Informed 2 weeks prior to booking and not able to change booking or deny friends usage. Unit is nice but extremely uncomfortable outdoor furniture and dining chairs. We left Tommy Bahama umbrellas and owner chose not to reimburse. And uncomfortable having a ring video camera at unit… seems invasive. We will never rent this unit again and we love other condos at Fairways Mauna Lani.

Wonderful Place to Stay at Mauna Lani!
We absolutely loved Mark's place! It was the perfect location at the perfect resort. Close to golf, the beach and groceries. Clean and very nicely decorated it was a wonderful place to call home while on vacation. Mark checked in regularly to make sure we were ok and answered questions promptly. The bedrooms are very large and the king size bed in the master suite is extremely comfortable. We were also very pleased with how quiet it was at night. We will be returning!

Absolutely the best!
We had such a wonderful stay! We are a family a five, and while this condo would be perfect for 2 couples with the 2 ensuite rooms, it worked great for our family! We loved having the rooms for sleeping upstairs, and the living space downstairs so my husband and I could work/watch TV while the kids slept. The location is amazing, a short walk to the beach at the Fairmont hotel, or a longer walk to the beach near the Mauna Launi. So many wonderful beaches to visit and explore! Although we especially loved just staying on the property. The pool was beautiful and there was even a kid friendly pool that our kids were in at least 4 hours daily! The place itself was so well equipped, with plenty of beach equipment, towels, and non-perishable foods to use so you don't need to buy salt/pepper or oils for cooking! The beds were incredibly comfortable and having 3 bathrooms was so convenient. Mark has done a beautiful job decorating, it was lovely. Mark was great to work with. We asked for a high chair which he made available the day we arrived. It was brand new so I assume he purchased just for us! It was nicer than our high chair at home :) We will definitely be visiting again!

Well equipped unit. Excellent value.
We had a very nice stay at this unit. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed to prepare a meal. The decor and furnishings are nice. The bedding was very comfortable ( we are planning to purchase the same brand of pillow as it was fabulous!). The location of the unit was very convenient to the pool and although the unit faces a commons area (with a lovely view) we never felt a lack of privacy while sitting out on the patio or upstairs balcony. The Fairways complex is very nice and this unit is an excellent value. The pictures don’t do it justice. Only hiccup was no bath soap or body wash in either bathroom but Foodland is 3 minutes away so we could find it there. I assume this was just something that cleaning staff missed restocking before our stay.

This is such a nice place, very comfortably set up
As a VRBO user I appreciate having a kitchen. This kitchen has all,of the things you need to be comfortable. The washer and dryer makes packing easier. Alll of the things you need for a great trip are provided. You get a pass for the club at the beach, but you can also use the black sand 49 beach for only $20 per car. Both beaches have excellent snorkeling. I snorkeled about 4 hours per day. Awesome water clarity. Vibrant reef. Lots,of fish, eels, turtles, lobsters, and more. We hope to return again soon. We hope to stay here again. 10 out of 10. Mahalo

Purchased this home on our third visit to the Big Island of Hawaii! We have made Mauna Lani our home and truly enjoy the Kohala Coast and the world famous Mauna Lani Resort!

Why they chose this property

Great location in Mauna Lani close to shopping, Petroglyphs, Fairmont Orchid Hotel, walking distance to the beach, what is not to like about the Fairways at Mauna Lani.

What makes this property unique

Easy access from the Kailua-Kona Airport, in a 5-star resort, with fabulous beaches in the dryer Kohala coast. Close to shopping and fine dining. Included access to a Beach Club, known for excellent snorkeling and swimming. Tropical park-like area with a pool, hot tub, and covered pavilion at the center of the development. This townhome is equipped with a private barbecue and wrap-around Lanai. The upstairs master suite also has it's own private Lanai. Please enjoy and let us know if you need something not listed.
