Fairways at Mauna Lani is a luxury complex located on the sunny Kohala coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. Considered the sunniest spot in all of the Hawaiian Islands, the weather here is truly dreamy all year round! This spacious property is a private gated community with meticulously manicured grounds, including a large swimming pool with a special shallow area for kids, a large hot tub, and a lava rock waterfall. As guests of the Mauna Lani resort, you will also have access to a fitness center and tennis courts. Fairways is within walking distance of restaurants and a gourmet market.
Once the playground of ancestral Hawaiian Royalty, the Mauna Lani resort is home to ancient Hawaiian fishponds, three miles of shoreline, petroglyphs, a green sea turtle nursery, two award-winning spas, and two top-rated golf courses. Whether you seek the thrill of water sports, wish to perfect your golf swing, explore nature and encounter endangered species, indulge in shopping for unique treasures, savor fresh island cuisine, or simply relax and unwind, everything you desire is right here!
Included a complimentary access (parking) to the Mauna Lani Beach Club, which offers a restaurant and a calm, semi-private beach. This is one of the best spots to snorkel on the island and is only a 5-minute drive from our home. A few minutes north, you'll find Hapuna Beach, one of the best beaches in Hawaii. Drive a little further north, and you'll find yourself in ranch country where you can go horseback riding or sign up for an ATV adventure. Joggers and walkers will enjoy winding through the resort and can choose from a variety of terrain, including a historic trail along the ocean. For those craving adventure, why not stargaze near the observatories at the summit of Mauna Kea or marvel at the power of an erupting volcano.
This two-bedroom, two-bathroom (full), two-level home is situated in one of the best locations: you can enjoy the ocean breeze in the morning and afternoon, as well as beautiful sunsets, all from your lanai.
Enjoy a spacious, (kid-friendly) grassy area your kids will love, far from the main road and away from busy traffic.
A vaulted ceiling in the living room creates an open, airy feel. The layout of the home ensures your privacy, with the master bedroom located on the second floor and the other bedroom on the ground floor.
With the exception of the master bedroom, all other areas of the home are accessible to people with limited mobility. There are no stairs leading to the entrance; however, both the front and lanai doors have a 3-4 inch step.
Enjoy a whole assortment of beach gear: chairs, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, beach towels, cooler, and an umbrella.
BOTH bedrooms offer comfortable sleeping arrangements with high-quality mattresses and furniture. We've removed carpets from the bedrooms as they tend to accumulate dust. The only remaining carpet is on the stairs, which is there for your safety to prevent slips and falls. Indulge in sweet dreams on the comfy king-size bed in the master bedroom. The second bedroom features a new queen-size bed with a luxurious Beautyrest mattress and blackout shades on the windows for your complete privacy. Additionally, a portable 'pack-n-play' baby crib is provided for your little one :-)
Enjoy a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, including a toaster, coffee grinder, blender, quality cookware, coffee makers (espresso and drip type), and upscale appliances.
New 60" Roku TV in the living room; 43" and 40" Roku TVs in both bedrooms; Spectrum cable TV app and many more free channels; watch Netflix, etc. using your account.
The master bedroom features an upper-level lanai.
In-suite laundry: washer and dryer ( A "Free and Clear" hypoallergenic detergent is provided ).
Check-in and out are very easy (and contactless!), no matter how late you arrive: the entrance door is equipped with a key-less lock (keypad) — enter the number combination that we'll provide, and that's it, you're in! No need to go to a second location to pick-up and drop-off a key.
The Fairmont Orchid hotel is only a 10-15 minute walk away, perfect for strolling around, using their beach and enjoying a meal. Additionally, a grocery store with a good selection is located within a 10-15 minute walking distance as well (or just a couple of minutes by car).
Parking is FREE. You will NOT need to pay any additional fees (such as resort fees, parking fees, etc.) upon arriving. You can park at any available parking space near the property; there are plenty of parking stalls around; 3 of them are right near the entrance to the home. Garage is very small (you could barely open door of your car once you are inside the garage), therefore it is impractical, so it will not be available for guests in order to avoid damage to your car and to the property.
Please note there is no source of carbon monoxide in this property: there are no gas or wood-burning appliances. Stove and water heater are electric. Smoke detectors are installed in this property.
As an alternative accommodation at Waikoloa Beach Resort (just a 10-minute drive from this place), please check out our upscale Kolea 15G condo located within walking distance to Anaehoʻomalu beach: https://www.vrbo.com/438468?dateless=true

This condo was so well equipped and completely comfortable for our trip to paradise. We’ll be back. The only reason we’d stay anywhere else is if we have more than 4 people. Thank you for the early check in flexibility too.
Awesome place for my family of four, with two teenage boys. Plenty of space, amazing location, and the pool is better than other similar properties nearby. Beach club has long been a hit for us all. Highly recommend from people who have stayed at various places in the Mauna Lani complex over the years. Looking forward to returning!
The townhouse was exactly as advertised. The home was lovely, spacious and perfect for our stay. We loved that there was a nice shopping center within walking distance with several great eateries, a grocery store and a few boutiques. The beach access that comes with the house was great as was the restaurant associated with the beach. What a treat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Best host ever! Very helpful, responsive and accommodating. Very clean, comfortable, quiet, well stocked condo in a beautiful location. Stay here if you can!
Great location with easy access to all the amenities of the area. Very quiet and relaxing. Had everything we needed for a great stay. Will definitely consider coming back.
Beautiful home, decorated perfectly. Easy access to the pool and exercise facility. Well stocked and included all the staples. The home layout was perfect for our family. We had the master bedroom on the second floor back corner, and our kids had the bottom floor front bedroom.
Wonderful week here. Beautiful condo with nice pool and hot tub. Unfortunately there was no snorkeling anywhere this week because of high seas conditions. But fortunately we timed seeing the volcanic eruption. Amazing. This area is pretty high end as restaurants were expensive but all were very good.
The house was in perfect condition, we loved everything about it. We appreciated the detailed instructions and the host was accommodating to all of our needs. The fairways at Mauna Lani is beautiful. The house has everything we needed. It was a perfect place to stay.
Very comfortable family vacation. Everything was as advertised and communication was very easy and clear.We had a great time and hope to return some time.
We loved our stay on the Kohala Coast! We have a family of four and had plenty of space. The property was extremely clean and well-appointed, and the host was diligent and helpful. We also enjoyed the pool and grounds and found everything to be quite relaxing!
What a fantastic place! We had a wonderful two week stay in this unit. The Mauna Lani Fairways is a first class property. This unit is quiet, very well appointed, very well maintained and had all the amenities anyone needs. Beach chairs, umbrella, and access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club. Very comfortable bed (foam mattress I believe). View from the primary headroom was fantastic. Lots of sun and palm trees swaying. If staying on the Big Island, this place will not disappoint. Thanks for an absolutely perfect stay!
This was a very beautiful and well maintained home in the very nice Mauna Lani area. We had a mix of sun and rain, and it was really nice to have a covered lanai to enjoy outdoor meals and grilling, regardless of rain. The kitchen is well appointed, and we cooked at home several nights. Beds are super comfortable. The view from the upstairs bedroom was beautiful. Quiet at night.The beach club access pass was really nice - one of the better beaches on the Big Island - and a short, ocean-front walk on a public path over to the Auberge Mauna Lani Hotel. We got to the beach club early to grab 2 covered lounge chairs and made a full day of it.We used the common areas less. The gym was small and you had to sign up for a time slot. My kids called the pool the “no fun pool” - beautiful but rules against no floaties, no balls/toys, etc. It was definitely geared toward adults enjoying the space, more so than kids. Still, we enjoyed the pool and hot tub.Dmitri was very communicative and responsive. Very easy check-in and check-out process. I forgot one of my bags and Dmitri assisted me with picking it up a couple days later (thank you!).Highly recommend.
Appreciated the cleanliness, supplies provided, location and communication with host.
Enjoyed the access to Mauna Lani Beach Club and walking distance to resort hotels.
Everything about this place was perfect. This includes the rooms, the breakfasts, the staff and the location. Our stay was simply wonderful. I could not rate this place any higher.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Jan, 2025
This review might reads odd but the guest stayed with us, along with other family members staying in hotel nearby. This is probably reason the guest wrote about staff and breakfast. We did checked with him during their stay and he had replied that everything had been wonderful.
1001 Fairways is a luxury private space for a small family like ours. Upstairs and downstairs lanai spaces with no neighboring windows overlooking, great showers, a fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grill facilities. We were comfortable, and well able to rest up from each day's activity.
We have stayed in short-term rentals many times over the years, and this is the first time we have submitted a review, because everything was flawless; highly recommend.
Super comfy, well-appointed vacation home. The location is ideal and having access to the beach club makes it even better. Being able to walk to the pool in less than three minutes was awesome. Kinda felt like our own pool. Will stay here again!
