The house is incredible! Kitchen is so well equipped which was super because we cooked in a lot. Bedrooms are all en suite and super comfortable. Hosts were very accommodating. Thanks for a great vacation!
This was our second stay here and we had a wonderful time! The house is lovely with a beautiful ocean view and easy access to the Mauna Kea.

We are thrilled you enjoyed another stay and look forward to future visits. Mauna Kea is such a great place to make long lasting family memories during the magical Christmas season. All the best in 2026.
Spacious, luxurious house, thoughtfully and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is the best-equipped and best-organized kitchen of any rental property I have visited. Lovely lanai with gorgeous views of the ocean and landscape of the Big Island. The Sonos sound system provided the perfect ambiance during our stay. Overall it was a wonderful, memorable visit to the Big Island for my family.
We had the best time at the home - it’s very well appointed with amazing views and an awesome location. We opted for the amenities package which gave us access to the hotel pools and beaches. It truly was a spectacular stay and house.
Our family had a wonderful relaxing vacation staying at this Hapuna Beach Villa residence in Kona. The house is perfect and even more beautiful than the pictures. We especially enjoyed adding on the Mauna Kea Club Membership for access to the two hotels during our stay. We enjoyed the beaches, pool, golf and had many meals at the hotels. Karen and Steve were very prompt in all communications as well as the on site property manager. We wish we could have stayed longer!

When we saw the view, we knew we had to purchase this villa! Since then we have enjoyed many incredible sunsets! Summer is the perfect time when it is straight out in front of our house.
Beautiful residence above Mauna Kea/Hapuna Prince Hotels
We’ve stayed in houses all over the Hawaiian islands, but this was one of our favorites! Thanks to Tiva and David for making our stay comfortable and memorable!

We are thrilled everything worked out for you. Having a well equipped kitchen makes everything so much better when you’re traveling. We’re glad you found everything you needed to prepare your meals. Hopefully you enjoyed the peaceful water view as you cooked.
We had an amazing stay at this stunning home. Loved the open air setting and having a small pool and hot tub was great for the kids at the end of the day. Owners were awesome, quickly addressing any concerns and going above and beyond.

The layout of this home is perfect for both families and couples vacations. The ensuite bathrooms with double sinks are an added bonus. We're so glad it worked well for you and hope to have you back to enjoy the view again.
We have been to the Mauna Kea Beach area many times, and stayed at various condos and hotels. The Wai’UlaUla development is one of our favorites due to its proximity and access to the Mauna Kea property and private beaxh

Great house
This was an amazing house. Great for three couples and little ones. Location is great. Definitely worth it to do the guest package through the Mauna Kea. House manager was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.

Thank you for letting us know how well the house and the Mauna Kea package worked worked out for you and your friends. Having the package is such a bonus when staying in a private home.
We have been coming to this area for awhile now and truly enjoyed what this property offered. The house suited our families with young children and grandparents so well. We took advantage of the passes to the Mauna Kea and Hapuna beaches, which certainly added to the ease and enjoyment of what this beautiful island offers. The property manager was incredibly responsive and we look forward to coming back on our next trip!

We hope you do come back to enjoy this truly amazing island. As you mentioned, our house is well suited to extended families.
This was the nicest property we have rented through VRBO. The owners and property managers were great to work with and very helpful. The home was perfect for our family of 6 adults and can sleep more. The Hawaii sunset views are fantastic and the private pool and spa made our stay even more special. We highly recommend this property.

We have been coming to the Mauna Kea for years and recently began renting homes on the property. This house was perfect for our family get together, well situated and well setup. It had everything we needed to cook & dine in as well as go to the beach or enjoy the pool. The managers and owners were very helpful and responsive. We would stay here again.

The house is such a great floor plan for families. We're glad you found it worked for you and hope to see you again when travel plans include the Big Island.
A very lovely house. We had a few issues with the hot tub and the swimming pool heating which seems to have been corrected at the end of the stay. The house were responsive and we really appreciated the late check out.
The property was excellent and the amenities were great. Most importantly, Karen and Steve went out of way to help us when one family member tested positive for Covid on the last day of our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Karen & Steve Kulin
We live in Alaska and love outdoor activities from snow skiing to snorkeling, road biking and mountain biking and have recently taken up golf now that we have a house on a golf course. We've added another fun activity to our list when we discovered the joy of paddle boarding. Mauna Kea is a perfect place to enjoy this activity while watching for spinner dolphins, turtles, whales and manta ray.
Why they chose this property
After numerous trips to Hawaii over the past 25 years, we fell in love with the Big Island and in 2012 decided to purchase a vacation home here. The energy level and friendly people made us want to come back to the Big Island time and time again and when we found Waiulaula, we knew we had also found our 'home away from home.'
What makes this property unique
The floor plan of our gorgeous spacious villa is perfectly placed with access to the best beaches on the island. Walk to Mauna Kea or Hapuna Beach. Enjoy access (with a fee) to the Mauna Kea Hotel or the Hapuna Prince (soon to be a Westin) with the amenities package available to our clients through our resort membership. You will be treated as if you are a guest at the hotel. You have easy access to both the spectacular Mauna Kea Golf Course and the Hapuna Golf Course. With our perfect location, enjoy what is one of the top ocean views in Waiulaula, as well as one of the largest back yards. A short walk and guests can enjoy the Waiulaula Amenities Center where they can enjoy the view while they swim in the beautiful infinity pool, relax in the hot tub, play a game of cards in the coolness of the library or workout in the fitness center. The choice is yours.
