Vacation at the Magnificent Mauna Kea Home

House was outstanding. It was all that it was advertised to be. The house was outfitted more upon arrival than most places we have stayed. The property manager was excellent! Would stay there again and recommend it to anyone who is considering renting it for a stay on the Big Island.

Family trip to the Mauna Kea. Although the hotel is undergoing a major renovation and the golf course is closed, we still had a fantastic time! The home is perfect for our group and service from Linaya and Linda was awesome! Can't wait to re-book next year!

Beautiful stay in Mauna Kea at Amazing Property

The house was beautiful - accented by incredible African artwork and well appointed. Everything we needed was there - we catered several dinners and the Chef noted how well appointed the kitchen was to cook gourmet mealsThe property manager couldn't have been nicer or more accomodating. Beautiful place - only downside (if there is one) is you need a car to get down to the beach - the walk is too far.

Family Vacation

We rented two homes through VRBO for our family of 17. This big house has a 10 foot deep pool that all the kids loved. The patio area was perfect for card games, cribbage and outdoor dining. Both of the hotels’ beaches and pools were delightful.
