Our family has been staying at the Mauna Kea since 1997. We purchased this home in 2012 and upgraded throughout 2014 and 2015. We refinished the pool and upgraded to a salt water system which is very easy on the eyes, skin and bathing suits!
For a truly tropical experience, we added a private outdoor shower nestled in meditation garden complete with bench connected via a glass shower door to the master bathroom to allow for a truly tropical experience. The outdoor shower area/meditation garden can also be accessed via a gate from the poolside so you can shower after coming from the lanai, pool or beach.
On the inside of our home, we converted the office area into a fourth bedroom. The kitchen was completely remodelled installing top-of-the-line fixtures and appliances. We love the new open concept of our home removing the wall between the kitchen and living room and replacing it with an island which features a wet bar and sub zero beverage fridge. We also added a games table between the living room and the kitchen island. We find ourselves playing games there most nights after enjoying our dinner on the lanai dining area watching the incomparable Hawaiian sunset.
