Please note we also have another great property at Waikoloa Beach Resort too!
Please check the VRBO link to that different property at the end of this description of Fairways at Mauna Lani 1001.
These 2 properties are excellent, each in their own way, just pick the one that fits you the best! :-)

Aloha and welcome to your home away from home in paradise!
Sea turtles; beautiful and romantic sunsets on this beautiful property, sweet scent of Plumeria in the air; beaches for every taste, mood and color and bountiful sunshine is awaiting you! :-)

We are very experienced vacation rental owners; hosting happy guests since 2012, who left more than 300 (and counting!) five-stars reviews in our other 3 VRBO listings- see "About the host" section for details and links.

This home has everything you need for your dream vacation: from very comfy beds to a fully equipped kitchen and a full set of beach gear and toys!

The difference here is in small details, such as premium location; comfortable beds in BOTH bedrooms; private shower in the master bathroom; no-stairs access to the ground floor; large, open, yet private lanai with pleasant breezes all day long and beautiful sunsets; painted in sunny colors bedrooms, kitchen and entrance area create happy feeling :-) ... and more!

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 (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 keyless 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.

As an alternative accommodation at Waikoloa Beach Resort (just a 10-minute drive from this place), please check out our upscale Kolea 15G condo:

Excellent location for families
This property is perfect for families with children of all ages. Very clean property in a safe area with nearby shopping, as well as access to pool and lifeguard beaches. The gear provided with the home, from boogie boards to snorkeling masks, was super helpful. We especially appreciated the local tips provided by owner. I would definitely rent this properly again and highly recommend to others.

My husband who is a little mobility compromised & I had a lovely week at this property & especially loved the recommendations in Dmitri’s notebook for guests—all great suggestions for beaches & restaurants—& we really enjoyed the beach equipment provided in the bin on the lanai. We’ll be back! Great find!

Amazing Experience; beautiful home!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Such a beautiful home close to all the great beaches for snorkeling, swimming and relaxing. The host was amazing and helping us navigate the trip and check in/check out was seamless. The pass for the beach club man or experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend – – five stars!

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!

Top notch
We stayed for a week while attending a conference at the Fairmont down the street. The location is excellent. We have stayed at other units in The Fairways and this one is top notch . Newly renovated, well organized and fully stocked. Cooking supplies included oil, soy sauce, spices, sugar, etc. The beds were excellent. Furniture was comfortable.The beach gear was a great feature with chairs, umbrella all in good condition. I was able to skip a trip to Snorkel Bob's as snorkel gear was also provided.The beach club access is also a big asset.

If you are looking for a great location, responsive and welcoming owner/host, well stocked and clean condo, then look no further! The host was very responsive during the booking process and also checked in with us a couple times while we were there. The pool was lovely and the beach club pass was wonderful!

Beautiful, spacious, brand new
The condo had everything needed for a great vacation. Quiet and felt private, beds super comfy, very spacious and everything felt brand new and sparkling clean. Would be perfect for two couples. Did not use the pool but it looked nice. Gated complex was immaculately maintained and close to great beaches. Management super responsive... grill was out of propane and they arrived to fill it in 5 minutes. Lovely sitting outdoors with the gentle breeze-- from upper lanai you could see sunset ever better. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Lovely home and location
The condo is compact but well laid out with a spacious master bedroom, king size bed and bath on the upper levels. Sunset viewing from the upper balcony was lovely. The lower level bedroom has a smaller bed. The beds were comfortable and the furniture in the living room appears to be new or nearly new. The kitchen was well stocked. We had thought that the garage was available with the unit but was not. However, on-street parking is unassigned and you may need to park quite a ways from the unit. There are three parking places close to the entry and we were able to get one of these most of the time. One of our party is disabled and we had rented a power mobility chair which had to be parked in the front entry alcove since the garage was not available. Luckily there is an outlet in the front entry and we were able to plug in the chair battery in the front entry. We had fun walking/rolling to the Fairmont Orchid for breakfast several times and to the petroglyph beach park for sunset. The pool is a short distance from most of the units in this development but does not have easy handicap access into the water. The condo entry is at ground level with only a couple of inches difference between the inside and outside levels. We did not bring the power chair into the unit but it would be possible to enter with a walker or wheel chair with assistance. All in all we very much enjoyed our stay.
