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.

Hawaiian holiday
We stayed in the same development last yea, but we liked this house even more because the property manager was flexible and responsive, the house had better ocean views and a useable backyard, and the house was fully stocked with everything a guest could need. All in all, a very enjoyable experience other than the fact that the Westin's family pool was under construction for most of our stay.

Thanksgiving 2023 on Big Island
Very nice stay for our family of four. We requested and were treated to an early check in that allowed us to hit the grocery store on our way from the airport which was helpful. Only hiccup was checking in the key code did not match our number as indicated on the instructions. A quick text to the property manager resolved this immediately. Our family enjoyed the stay here with full amenities and privacy with spacious bedrooms, A/C, and the pool/jacuzzi. Everything was clean and plenty of towels for indoor and outdoor uses. Beds were super comfortable. We also paid for the privileges at the Mauna Kea and Hapuna Prince which were great to be able to enjoy the resorts each day and retreat to the quiet neighborhood. Will be returning for sure!

Can’t Wait to Return!
The best, seriously the best place to stay! The house is absolutely gorgeous and has every amenity you could possibly wish for. Amazing communication with the owners and the manual they left answered most questions - anything else could be answered easily by their on-island contact. The location is prime with beautiful sunset views every night! The unit comes with the option of a club membership at a daily rate and I 100% recommend getting that as it made going to the beach, cocktails, and meals out that much easier. We do not want to leave but are already discussing a family vacation to return! Hopefully we can stay here again! Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful home!!

Amazing stay
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!

Perfect Home for Family Togetherness and Memories
The home is magnificent on all levels. Great location, layout and appointments. Spectacular ocean view. Conducive for family conversations, laughter and lasting memories. Simply beautiful. Equally impressive, and in my opinion important, are the hosts. Karen and Steve are anxious to please, responsive to our questions and concerns and abundantly kind. Too, their on island management team shares like qualities. The home, the process, the hosts and the on island management team are the epitome of “Aloha Spirit .” We are anxious to return.

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.

Couldn't be better
The property is wonderful and well-appointed. Absolutley relaxing and enjoyable. Access to the resort amenities was great. My young children and elderly parents each found the home to be easy to use and incredibly comfortable. The owners are clearly interested in seeing that their guests feel right at home. The kitchen is well stocked and has all the things you'd need to prepare a quick breakfast or a bountiful dinner. They even had ziploc bags and Tupperware which we used to prepare snacks for the car as we ventured around the island. Certainly hope to return someday as it was such a deeply relaxing stay. There were good instructions for using the spa heater, and tv equipment making it very easy to be absolutely comfortable. The kids loved having boogie boards available to them for the beach, and the cooler was very handy. Wow, setting the bar high. They also processed the refund of the deposit swiftly. So wonderful. Thank you Karen and Steve for sharing your lovely property with us, you've contributed to some priceless memories for our family.

Beautiful Villa with Outstanding Service from Owner and Housekeeper
We stayed at this beautiful villa from June 30th to July 6th 2022. The experience was amazing. The owners, Steve and Karen, were very responsive to any questions I had before we arrived. I was taking my bike with me from the mainland and they organized with the Housekeeper to let me put it in the Garage before we checked in! This was not the case with the second house we rented, from Jul 6th Jul12th. They let me keep it again in the Garage during the transition period. Massive help! The house was immaculate with everything you would need. The sunset views are spectacular and the location in the Hapuna /Mauna Kea resort is beautiful, though you will need a car. We paid extra access to the Mauna Kea /Hapuna resort facilities, well worth it. Added to this the Housekeepers, Tina and her husband, are phenomenal. They are the nicest people I have ever met. Nothing was too big an ask for them. They accomodated my bike requests, gave info on where to buy food and places to visit. Consistently above and beyond service! Added to this, when we truly needed them they were there for us. The AC unit fan broke one night and they took care of it immediately (along with homeowner) and it was fixed the next day. The level of serivce from them was oustanding. I have never experienced the Aloha Spirit before, until I met Tina and her husband. I am very grateful to have met them! The only negative thing I can say is that I wish I could have spent my full 12 days at the villa and not have to move to the 2nd house. This is how much my family and I enjoyed it. Thanks again Karen and Tina, we had a wonderful time! Alex+ Family!

About the host

Hosted by Karen & Steve Kulin

Host profile image
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.
