About this property

Luxury Estate w/Waterfall & Spa Grotto, AC & Stunning Views - Fairways North 1

Nestled in seclusion on an acre of land in the exclusive Mauna Kea Resort, this five-bedroom, seven-bath estate home represents the epitome of luxury, leisure, and ease. Fairways North #1, ideal for families or groups of friends, consists of three pod-style pavilions under one continuous roof, where guests experience breathtaking ocean and sunset views from every room. The estate's outdoor oasis includes an elegantly designed lanai, private pool warmed naturally by the sun with a swim-up palapa bar, waterfall, and jacuzzi grotto. **Resort amenities are detailed below; please review the planned improvements, as this could impact availability.

The circular and open design of Fairways North #1 encourages airflow and interaction, while décor by Fine Design Interiors highlights the sophisticated ambience of the estate. A palatial living space features generous seating, a media area, vaulted wood ceilings that converge toward a large octagonal skylight, and floor-to-ceiling glass pocket doors that open fully to the lanai, creating a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living. The modern kitchen comes well-appointed with high-end appliances and quality tableware, and a bonus kitchen provides added flexibility for large groups.

The Poliahu primary suite (bedroom #1) is situated in its own ocean-view pavilion overlooking the pool, golf course, and Kohala coastline. This stunning space offers a California king bed, new air conditioning unit, seating area and desk, and a private ocean-view balcony with outdoor seating. The dramatic en suite primary bath includes a jetted tropical rock tub, a walk-in rock shower with a miniature waterfall, dual vanities, and a separate commode for privacy.

A third pavilion houses the remaining four bedroom suites at Fairways North #1, all with full ensuite baths and ocean views. The Kuka‘ilimoku suite (bedroom #2) has two twin beds (which can be converted to a king upon request) and a unique circular walk-in shower, while the Pu‘u Kohola suite (bedroom #3) has a California King bed, a walk-in shower, and dual sinks. Both of these bedrooms have new air conditioning units and sliding glass doors to access the lovely grounds.

The Lilinoe upper-level bedroom (bedroom #4) provides a California king bed, a new air conditioning unit, a full en suite bathroom, and a balcony with an outdoor shower overlooking the Kohala mountains and coastline. An exquisite spiral staircase leading from this suite to the lower level may be locked for privacy or used as a passageway for parents and children. The downstairs Lilinoe suite (bedroom #5) features magnificent high ceilings, two queen pune‘e (Hawaiian daybeds), and floor-to-ceiling teak doors that open completely to the lanai and private grassy lawn. Its en suite bath offers a jetted soaking tub and walk-in rock shower.

Fairways North #1 boasts a state-of-the-art entertainment system with 49-inch Sony Diamond Deluxe smart flat-screen televisions in all five bedroom suites and the living area. Each television comes equipped with Apple TV live streaming and complimentary Netflix, Hulu Live, HBO, and Cinemax. Several Blu-ray and DVD players are also provided. An integrated Sonos speaker system plays your choice of music with exceptional quality throughout the home, and wireless internet extenders ensure full access to high-speed service in every room.

The impressive entrance, walkways, and exterior of Fairways North #1 have been landscaped with great care, creating a tranquil Hawaiian atmosphere and a feast for the senses. The grounds contain multiple water features and lush tropical flora such as palms, heliconia, plumeria, and bougainvillea. Plentiful lounge seating, a large Weber barbecue grill, and multiple open-air dining areas enable guests to live as comfortably outdoors as indoors.

Paradise awaits in this spectacular estate on the west coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, just a short walk from the secluded white sands of Mau'umae Beach. Mauna Kea Resort's famous crescent shaped white sand beach, world-class Hapuna Beach, golf courses, pools, and exercise facilities are all less than five minutes away.

FABULOUS PROPERTY!!
The property is absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. The property management company was very responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. There were mosquitoes when we went there because of heavy rains the week before. We requested to have the house sprayed, and that solved the problem. We are absolutely coming back next year and will probably stay longer next time. We highly recommend that you opt in for the resort amenities. If you stay here, you will have an amazing experience like we did.

Amazing island oasis the whole family enjoyed
The property provides and incredible backdrop to a relaxing vacation on the Big Island. Extremely private at the end of the street and with views of the ocean, island and golf course. The kids and adults both enjoyed the pool (not heated but very refreshing) and hot tub. Rooms are set up nicely for two Master suites and two bedrooms for kids or other family members. The fifth bedroom we didn’t consider to be a bedroom as it lacked real privacy and air conditioning. Kitchen is small but extremely well stocked and there are two refrigerators and an excellent standalone ice maker. The hosts were so helpful and helped with all sorts of arrangements and very responsive when we had issues or needed help. Looking forward to returning one day soon.

Perfect Two Week Multi-Generation Holiday Location
This residence was perfect for our two week multi-generation Christmas and New Year Holiday! There was plenty of room for all of us being together and room for privacy for everyone. The location is great over looking the ocean and all the fireworks on New Years. Access to the Mauna Kea provided for two beaches, multiple pools and gyms for the committed. Elite Pacific's team great with the management of the property and helping with arranging for activities and a private chef. Five Stars for all involved!! The Marshall Family

Exceeded high expectations
Our three generation group of 9 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is open, airy and very comfortable. It has many interesting features, principally pool with swim up bar, grotto hot tub, beautiful western facing views and sunsets, interesting shower/bathing options. The house is very well stocked with everything you’ll need. Very pleasant manager met us on arrival to show us the house and answer questions. Concierge facilitated a super chef/server team to come in a couple evenings..We found paying for access to the Mauna Kea resort facilities to be worthwhile as it has perhaps the finest resort beach we have ever visited. We also enjoyed some of the low key nearby spots off campus. We are grateful to all who assisted our stay.

Hawaiian Island stay
Beautiful home with an incredible pool with waterfall. House is very well furnished and the kitchen has every possible dish, appliance or tool. Incredible ocean views. Access to the two nearby hotel properties makes for a nice break for the kids. Both of the nearby golf courses are great layouts and views. The gardener and the cleaning folks were very nice and responsive, as was the concierge team. The house has extensive stone floors and stairs and lots of open water areas (ponds and waterways). Not ideal for the very young or very old, but was perfect for us. We would stay here again for sure.

Amazing Property at a Lovely location!
The owners have maximized the natural beauty of the location through the flow of space and air. The description on this website is very fair on all aspects of the property. The facilities of the property have been upgraded and integrated meticulously, such that we do not feel this is a 20+ year construction. The entire team has been very responsive, thoughtful and helpful.

A stunning property to call home
We were a big group, spanning three generations. This home was perfect for our extended family. Away from the action of the nearby hotel, we were able to use the hotel beach and facilities daily. Our bedrooms had lovely sheets and amenities that made each of us comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with ample dishes, glasses, pots and pans. In addition to the kitchen equipment, there was a smaller anti-room filled with more dishes that were for different uses. This home accommodates 10 people comfortably without feeling tight. You'll enjoy stunning sunsets from the outdoor living room and possibly see a whale or two breaching the ocean. We were very pleased with our stay in this beautiful home.

Best. Vacation. Ever
We have stayed at this home several times, and each time tops the one before. Clearly the owners and management are putting great care into the guest experience. The technology improvements are essential for both work (high speed WiFi) and relaxation (Sonos and AppleTV entertainment). Even more luxurious than the resort, and much more space and privacy. The A/C additions are fantastic. Highly recommend. We’ll be back.

Fantastic Spot for Your Dream Vacation!
The house was beautiful and the property manager, Mark, provided excellent service! This really is a top-notch home for indulgent stays. The home is beautiful and in excellent condition. It has wonderful open spaces and a pool that kids and adults will love. It is very private but the amenities of the Mauna Kea Resort are only a short walk away. Beautiful views of the ocean and the volcanoes are available from almost anywhere in the house. Very open floor plan which is perfect for Hawaii especially in the "cooler months." Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving vacation here. Plenty of community space but also the privacy you sometimes need with family. We would highly recommend this home and Mark and his team to anyone looking for a great big island vacation.

Fairytale in Paradise!
Our family LOVED this amazing property. My daughter kept calling it a castle, and the rest of us felt like that too - it was truly a fairytale week for us in Hawaii. The kids adored the pool and jumped right into it as soon as we arrived. The adults thoroughly enjoyed it also - though the hot tub was my personal favorite. We all had plenty of privacy in our separate suites, and the common area was perfect for together time. Interior design was gorgeous and the views were sensational. We've stayed in a lot of vacation homes, and this one-of-a-kind property is officially at the top of our list. We're planning our next trip soon!

Peaceful & Beautiful!
This was the perfect getaway for a birthday week celebration with friends! We arrived at sunset, greeted by the property manager who gave us a tour of the home, Hale Pau Hana (which we were told means "House of No Work") which was perfect for us for the week. The house exceeded our expectations; breathtaking views from every room. The design was warm and inviting, and well-integrated with the beautiful landscape. All of the bedrooms were fantastic but the Master suite, in particular, was incredible. Anyone skeptical about renting online, this home is as beautiful in person as it shows in the photos. There's so much to do in Hawaii but mostly we were content swimming in the pool, having cocktails at the swim up bar or just relaxing poolside with a book or conversation for a good part of our stay. Mark the property manager, was quick to respond to any questions we sent him by text and was gracious enough to walk us to the beach showing us the easy trail down to a pretty secluded, beautiful beach. Thanks for a wonderful first visit to Hawaii! Rhonda & friends

Awesome Home in Mauna kea
We loved our visit to this exquisite home. It is Hawaiian living on a grand scale. The large all in one living room, dining room, media space has almost no walls so you experience indoor outdoor living. Just a few steps down from the living room is a pool tastefully hidden among large boulders and there is a swim up bar and tasteful tiki hut. There is a hot tub hidden in a cave among boulders. The master bedroom has to be seen to be believed. It is very large and the bathroom has been carved out of rock. The master has a view of the ocean, as do most of the rooms in the house. There is a waterfall and small stream flowing through the side of the house and there is abundant foliage and palm trees. The decoration of the house is very tasteful. Nothing but first class furnishings and artwork. The kitchen is great for entertaining. One of the other bedrooms has an outdoor shower. The bedroom below the main area is two stories tall, with yet another bathroom carved out of rock. We really love the place. There are many golf courses nearby. The beach at Mauna Kea is world famous. There is diving and snorkeling. Helicopter rides over the volcano. 5 stars.

Mauna Kea's Best
Our family has had the pleasure of staying at Hale Pau Hana on many occasions over the past several years and our stays are always too short. This exquisite property is private and a short walk to the Mauna Kea Beach. Wonderful ocean views. The entire main living space opens to the outdoors to allow you to experience the warm Hawaiian breezes, songbirds and flora. This home is professionally designed and decorated with tasteful, fun fabrics and furniture. The home is perfect for entertaining small and larger groups with a well appointed kitchen, swim up tiki bar and a caterer's dream of amenities including specialty dish ware, serving items and linens. The home is meticulously maintained and we absolutely give Hale Pau Hana 5 stars.
