About this property

Magnificent Mauna Kea Home With Stunning Views

This 7,768 square foot home was designed by Hawaiian architect Thomas Bingham (a protege of Frank Lloyd Wright) for indoor/outdoor living and entertainment. It has 5 bedrooms, each with a private bath, the master suite enjoying complete privacy on its own floor. The lanai cantilevers out over the saltwater pool and lower level terrace offering breathtaking views of the golf course and ocean with dramatic nightly sunsets. For cooks there is an outdoor gas BBQ and wet bar, gourmet kitchen with 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers and ice maker. (For non-cooks there are several restaurants within minutes of the house.) The home is within the private gates of the Mauna Kea Resort and residential guests can access all amenities at the Mauna Kea and Hapuna Resorts by registering with the Mauna Kea and paying a daily fee.

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.

Annual Family Trip to 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.
