Big Island Christmas Week with a perfect home base

Phenomenal home base for our family of 7 to spend Christmas week on the Big Island. Excellent and prompt communication with the owner leading up to the trip, and a friendly welcome from the host when we arrived. First off, the home was perfect in size, cleanliness and amenities. Loved the outdoor cooking and eating space, kitchen spacious for family meals, and spaces spread out for everyone to take a break from forced family fun time :D Access to the beach club was great (and enjoyed walking down there in the mornings through the lava park by the ponds), and the shops at Mauna Lani (especially the grocery store a few steps away) were super convenient for food, coffee, and the extra outdoor clothing/items which teenagers tend to forget to pack. Location was quiet, peaceful and beautiful, and the short drive access down into town was perfect. Was hard to leave at the end of our trip - amazing property!

Absolute Perfection!

This was our first stay on the Big Island. We had originally booked on Maui but then the fire happened and our home was needed to house displaced families so we switched to this island. We were so happy to find this place because it was similar to what we had booked on Maui. We were a family of 6 adults and wanted space to spread out and this was it! Kathryn was fabulous - we arrived late on Thanksgiving night and she was willing to purchase some frozen pizzas and POG for us to leave in the fridge because everything would be closed and we'd be starving when we arrived. But, there is an upscale Food Land literally next door that opened at 6 am the next day so it as easy to get food for breakfast. The house was clean and comfortable. We loved that every bedroom was an ensuite. The beds were very comfy and the air conditioning worked great with separate upstairs and downstairs units. The kitchen was very well equipped and after a run to Costco, we cooked a couple of meals a day at the house. We loved the walls of sliding glass. It was lovely to open them in the morning and evening and catch cross breezes. Bonus that they all had screens to keep the critters out but let the breeze in. We loved this house and the host was the best. I'm a travel agent and will recommend it 100% to anyone looking for a great stay on the Big Island!

Wonderful stay at a great property and perfect location in paradise

Our family of 5 had a terrific stay in this high-end property. We loved its location in the Mauna Lani resort, in direct walking distance to shops and restaurants, and with a great private beach club and pool too. The property itself was well-stocked with all needed amenities and many extras.

Outstanding Property and Vacation

Our first time staying in Mauna Lani and this property was outstanding. Very well stocked and in an excellent location! Access to the beach in Mauna Lani and an outstanding pool for our grandkids were two of the highlights! Kathryn was incredibly responsive and one of the best owners we have every dealt with in all of the years we have rented property in Hawaii and in other parts of the world. We will be back!

Adventure in Paradise

Our goal was to find a place to thoroughly relax and enjoy Hawaii and we found the perfect place to do it. It was a last minute change and super glad we were able to rent this house. Big enough to spread out and super comfy for all 5 of us to hang together as a family. When we come back we definitely want to stay here. It is a bit of a drive out of Kona, but is nice to be away from all of that. Plus, with access to the private beach, we didn’t need much else. Shopping is a short walk away so everything one needs is right here.

We loved staying at this rental. The kitchen had everything we needed, garage had all the stuff for the beach(6 chairs, 3 umbrellas, sand toys, 3 big boogie boards, noodles, and more). I loved the proximity to the shopping. Our multiple grocery store runs were 2 minutes away! The beds were so comfortable and I slept like a baby!

Great spot for large group!

My family and I stayed here for a week and one of the biggest benefits for our group was the quick WiFi. We had six adults working full time off of it and never had any issues! Not bad working from paradise. We did experience a few minor hiccups though - the cable TV wasn’t working, the propane tank was out (found a spare in the garage) and there were some old socks + random trash under one of the beds. I think the house could use a deep cleaning. Otherwise, the condo was comfortable and spacious, had all the necessary kitchen tools and was only a ~25 minute walk or a short drive to the beach. We loved the Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrellas.

Party of 5

The house was a perfect fit for my party of 5 that included my mother-in-law. Plenty of space for everyone. Location is perfect, so close to the grocery store and little shops. The house had everything we needed. We had a few little issues right at the beginning on a couple things (no fault of the owner) and the property manager was quick to respond, very helpful and solved the items right away! That was amazing. I would definitely recommend this house for a family. It was the perfect fit!

Hosted by Kathryn

We are a family of five, all born and raised in Alaska. For more pictures and things to do please visit our place on Facebook at Big Island Pad!

Why they chose this property

RECENT UPDATES as of 11/23 :
**Brand new quartzite countertops with an expanded island in gourmet kitchen.
**All new LED lighting with LED dimmer switches.
**Brand new custom ordered sectional with all the options to ensure comfort when settling into movie night!

Mauna Lani is situated in the heart of the sunny Kohala coast. As past renters in Mauna Lani we found the The Villages to be the perfect combination of resort living (with easy access to it's amenities) yet peaceful and relaxing. The expansive lanais at The Villages invite you to live outside!

We like the privacy of the homes, quality of construction and close proximity to the shops. The Villages' pool has a very nice temperature that is great for kids of all ages!

We enjoy hanging out at the beach club and taking walks through the lava caves and fishponds. We love to play golf and tennis in Mauna Lani!

What makes this property unique

Returning guests to The Villages are pleasantly surprised by how private our unit is. There are no homes looking into our backyard. During the initial phase of construction, a lava wall was built between our unit and the next. We have been told that the cost of this wall became too expensive to replicate throughout the development so it is unique to our place! In addition, we think you'll love our home because of the open layout to the large private lanai and yard. Our home is professionally decorated with Tommy Bahama furniture and soothing paint colors- Resort furniture can be aesthetic but uncomfortable, we have the perfect mix of aloha with the added benefit of the most comfortable sectional couch you will ever lounge on! We want you to feel at home while on your vacation in paradise!

We also want to make sure you have the fasted WIFI possible. We have upgraded to 12 volt Ruckus AP power supplies around the house to ensure the best signal everywhere in addition to a fancy self healing modem.

You'll enjoy the quick walk to the shops for the newspaper in the morning and the short stroll to the pool. We provide Tommy Bahama beach chairs, 2 cruiser bikes and beach/pool toys for our guests to use.
