About this property

Luxury Mauna Lani Home, Family Friendly, Golf, Private Beach Club, Walk to Shops

Deluxe Two-story Town House with Lanai Partial Ocean View, Triple Suites and Garage.
We invite you and your loved ones to experience the vacation of a lifetime in our elegant yet comfortable island home. The Big Island of Hawaii is a magical place. You will fall in love with this island paradise as have we.

The Mauna Lani resort on the sunny Kohala Coast was once home to Hawaiian royalty. Our lovely two story townhouse is spacious at 3,170 square feet plus a two-car garage. Its open living space has the relaxed elegance of a four-star hotel. Three large bedroom suites provide plenty of privacy and space for all guests.

Enjoy spectacular sunsets from the lanai.

The living area connects to the lanai with floor-to-ceiling sliding screened doors which create an enchanting continuous indoor/outdoor space. Each of the large bedrooms has an in-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. The upstairs and lanai are wired for music and there is free Wi-Fi.

Inspired by the Mauna Lani resort, we have decorated our home in an elegant, but relaxed pacific island style. We have beautiful wall art depicting local landscapes and themes. The furniture is comfortable and of excellent quality from reputable manufacturers. Sheets, bath towels and other amenities are of the finest quality.

The main floor features a large living and dining area. The living area is furnished with two large sofas, a lounge chair. A large Tommy Bahama wall unit with 60" TV spans the large wall.. Original and limited edition art pieces appoint the grand living area. The hardwood dining table seats six. The living and dining space opens to a large lanai with dining table, BBQ, outdoor kitchen and separate seating area.

The artwork of Shawn Mackey is displayed as well as award winning photographic pieces from CJ Kale, Linda Hurzeler and Don Herzeler.

The indoor kitchen has granite counter tops and high-end appliances. There is a Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer, Bosch dishwasher and a Dacor oven. We have a Keurig coffee machine in addition to a Cuisinart drip coffee maker. The kitchen is fully furnished with a wide variety of utensils for the gourmet in you. We also have a well-stocked pantry with spices and condiments (cleaning protocols limit what can remain between guests).

Sleeping Accommodations:

Main Floor Master - King size bed, spa-like in-suite bathroom with double sink, separate shower and bathtub, private toilet, armoire, dresser, luggage rack.

Lower Level Master - King size bed and spa-like in-suite bath with double sink, separate bath tub and walk-in shower, private toilet, walk-in closet, TV, lanai.

Third Bedroom - (2) queen beds and full in-suite bathroom with shower, single sink, walk-in closet, lanai.

We furnished the large master bedroom suite with a new king sized Tommy Bahama bed, dresser, armoire and night stands. The furniture and art in this room lend to an authentic old Hawaii atmosphere. The master bath has an oversized tub and a separate granite walk-in shower. The bathroom vanity has a granite countertop with dual sinks. There is a toilet room with door in the master bathroom. There is also a dressing area with drawer and shelf space.

On the ground floor are two bedroom suites each with its own bathroom, private lanai and walk-in closet. The first master suite has a king bed, television and an enormous in-suite bathroom. The second downstairs bedroom has two luxurious queen beds, walk-in closet and private bathroom.

The ground floor has a separate laundry area and two-car garage. We store a Polaris GEM e6 (six-seat) electric cart in the garage which is available to rent. The garage is stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, beach towels, and a cooler for the complete day at the beach. The garage is our main entrance for vendors, services and housekeeping and is considered to be semi-public. The space is monitored by video surveillance via a garage door opener camera.

The complex is located in the Mauna Lani resort area which has everything you could want or need. The famous Francis H Brown I'i championship golf resort has 36 holes. The Resort also has its own private access beach club and restaurant. There are a wide variety of fine eating establishments nearby. The Foodland grocery store is a short 5 min walk from our property.

The Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Fairmont Orchid Hotel anchor the resort area. Both hotels have luxury spas just waiting to pamper you. They also boast a full range of dining from casual to four-star restaurants. Play with the sand between your toes while sipping Mai Tai's during a fabulous Hawaiian sunset.

The Villages is one of the most exclusive, hence quietest complexes in the Mauna Lani resort area. With fewer residents the pool/spa and fitness areas do not get crowded. The grounds are lovely with abundant tropical flowers and trees. The Villages is meticulously maintained with an on-site grounds supervisor.

You will be close to the great beaches of the Big Island. Mauna Lani Beach is a peaceful paradise with excellent swimming. The snorkeling is beautiful with abundant fish and turtles. Staying at our unit entitles our guests access to the Beach Club which has cabanas and lounge chairs. Hapuna Beach and Mauna Kea Beach, both fabulously scenic, are also nearby. They are great for just relaxing but also have perfect surf for boogie boarding in the winter months. In the winter months you can watch the whales breaching from the shoreline.

The active volcano on the south shore of the island is not to be missed. Come enjoy everything the Big Island has to offer. You will not want to leave.

Great family vacation spot

My husband and I traveled to the Big Island with our four teenagers for spring break. Robert's house is the perfect location to explore the island and had absolutely everything we needed for out stay. The house was very clean and comfortable and Robert was very responsive to questions and offered helpful tips and resources. We will definitely be back!

First time in Hawaii

The condo is spacious and very clean. Looks just like the pictures. Communication with the owner was easy. The property is a bit far from the beach. That was fine for us but it’s a pretty long walk or you can drive. The local food market is ok but not great. Very nice neighborhood.

We appreciated that the house had lots of towels and chairs to bring to the beach. Rob, the property manager, was great to work with and very responsive to any questions.

Mauna Lani Spring Break 2024

The place was well kept and communication with the owner was great. Close to a couple great beaches and enjoyed the access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club. It was fun for the whole family and Robert had great recommendations during our visit and my favourite was a night swim with the Manta Rays! Also the location was walking distance to grocery store and the shops at Mauna Lani. Highly recommend this place for families and feel that there was something for everyone!

Fantastic stay at Mauna Lani!

This large, immaculate townhouse is the ideal location for a relaxing vacation on the Big Island. The townhouse is so well equipped - great kitchen appliances and utensils, and also beach toys, chairs, and boogie boards. The beds are very comfortable and the whole place has a welcoming feeling. The location is perfect - walk or short golf cart ride to the shops, the beaches, or the 2 resorts within the Mauna Lani property. Robert was very responsive as a host and check in was a breeze. We can't wait to come back for another visit soon!

About the host

Hosted by Robert MacFarlane

Host profile image
We are native Californians and live in San Diego. We were married on the big island in 2009. We have two daughters and love the beach lifestyle and are thrilled to have a second home in Hawaii.

Why they chose this property

Rob's first visit was in 2008. Lava as far as you can see from the mountains to the coast. Every imaginable climate is here, endless exploration, and fantastic fishing. We fell in love with the Mauna Lani, the people and resort life. The Villages at Mauna Lani were built to provide the lifestyle we love. This home, with its tropical feel, artwork, wood ceilings and open space provide the feeling of being in a five-star resort.

What makes this property unique

We love to cook and you'll find we have a huge assortment of small kitchen appliances, and well-cared-for cookware. So many of our guests have commented about this that it a main priority to keep it fresh.
