There are separate spots on the lanai to enjoy your morning coffee, grab some sun in comfortable chaise lounges by your private pool/spa, or sit in the main lanai area on comfortable love seat and chairs to watch the ever-revolving beauty in the nature that surrounds you. The panoramic ocean view is directly to the West of the lanai, cloud-shrouded Hualalai Volcano to the South, Kawaihae harbor and a glimpse of Maui to the North, and the lovely city of Waimea and the green hills of the Kohala Mountains to the East. The view is guaranteed to change constantly!

Luxurious house with pool, hot tub and outdoor showers
Our family enjoyed this luxurious property behind Mauna Kea and Hāpuna resorts. We loved the well-stocked large kitchen, the ample space (3 bedrooms with ensuites) and the outdoor showers. The kids (4 and 6) loved the heated pool and hot tub. The location is quiet and peaceful and we loved having supper while watching the sunset in the spacious lanai. We would love to return. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Michelle's place. It was very clean and well appointed. We really enjoyed spending time on the lanai and using the private pool and hot tub. Michelle and her property manager were very responsive if we had any minor issues come up. The villa was well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!

Great escape
Beautiful property. Fabulous beaches. Great escape. The villa is terrific. Lovely furniture, clean, well-maintained, well stocked with plates, glasses, pots/pans etc. for cooking. We have stayed in several WUU villas over the years and this one is particularly nice (and because of that we are returning guests of Michelle's). Michelle is excellent to communicate with before booking and even with questions after booking. She sends you all the info you need in advance and makes arrival smooth and easy. And her on-site manager, Eric, is also terrific and was super quick to respond to the handful of questions we had while at the house. The beaches at Mauna Kea are fantastic, tennis and golf terrific too. We will be back for sure! Thank you Michelle (and Eric) for a great vacation!!

Terrible Stay
We're sorry to have to leave this review - we looked forward to this vacation for months and the property looks so beautiful online; the host was incredibly responsive and the stay seemed like it would be perfect. Unfortunately there was a severe insect infestation at the house. The night we arrived, after putting children to sleep, I was walking in the kitchen and received a severe bite on my foot. I had no idea what bit me at the time; there was excessive bleeding, pain and swelling and multiple small puncture marks. Since we didn't know where the bite came from we headed to the emergency room where they were able to treat me and let me know the bite was probably from a scorpion or centipede. Meanwhile at the home my husband and children had found innumerable other insects on the walls, ceilings and floor. We immediately contacted the homeowner and she promised to treat the property the next day. We didn't have many options so rented a hotel room for the kids and we stayed that night. Long story short, after two exterminator treatments we continued to find insects and the final straw came the next day when we found a large worm crawling on my son's pajamas. That was enough and I let the homeowner know that we did not feel safe staying; she let me know checkout was 11am. This home was not safe or comfortable. Do yourself a favor and rent directly through Mauna Kea resort, they would have refunded our money or found a nice place for us to stay. Lesson learned.

Quiet, beautiful home with a view of the horizon
This house and booking were managed really well. This is the nicest VRBO we've ever stayed in. It's a beautiful home with two master bedrooms. Very well-stocked. We cooked most every meal and were able to find everything we needed in the kitchen. On some days, the weather was perfect and we opened up the sliding doors to the view of the ocean and the volcano. At night we gazed at the stars from the hot tub. We had a great time and loved this house. This was a really special time for our family. If I had to name some drawbacks, they would have nothing to do with the house itself. It would be that you truly cannot get anywhere without a car from this location and Ubers are not easily available this far north.

Perfect holiday!
This rental home was perfect for our family of 6: grandparents, parents, 2 kids. The home feels very luxurious with a view of the ocean, private dipping pool with hot tub, 2 master suites. Loved the outdoor showers attached to the 2 master bathrooms. The amenities were wonderful: the local Rec center had a great workout space + infinity pool with hot tub and the resort access to both Hapuna and Mauna Kea hotels was great. The daily resort fee allowed us easy parking at the hotels. I highly recommend this vrbo!

The most amazing vacation!
We just got back from the most amazing week on the Big Island! This house was just perfect in every way! Gorgeous view and setting in a great location. The house was immaculate and extremely well organized. We enjoyed staying in and cooking some meals at the house, and the kitchen had everything you could need! To reiterate what previous reviewers have said, Michelle and Shelley were wonderful, and extremely attentive and helpful with any needs that come up prior to or during your stay. We enjoyed the beautiful pool every day and it was so nice to have at the house. We purchased the Mauna Kea resort pass and it was so worth it. The beach there is one of the prettiest I have ever seen! My husband and son loved playing golf at both properties, but the Mauna Kea golf course is remarkable. Our stay on the Big Island was magical and we feel so fortunate to have been able to rent this beautiful home! We hope to come back soon!

“Wow!!” Is the first word that came to our minds when we walked into this vacation home. It is better than the pictures you see here. The view is incredible! We didn’t want to leave the lanai with the beautiful pool and hot tub area. The home is completely stocked with everything you need for a stress-free vacation. We loved how organized everything is! Michelle and Shelley go above and beyond before, during and after your stay to make sure you have everything you need. They are a joy to work with. We have stayed in vacation homes all across the US and this is by far the nicest, cleanest and most organized. Don’t hesitate for a second and rent this beautiful home. You won’t regret it!

Thanks for the recommendation of “babies and beaches”, everything we needed for the little ones was set up when we got there. Can’t say enough about Michelle and Shelly.

Our favorite place in the Big Island
I've stayed at around 10 different luxury Hawaii places over this years. This villa was amazing. Everything was immaculate (including inside the drawers, washer and dryer), everything was labeled, everything was fully stocked including kitchen cooking accessories and condiments. They have thought of everything you could need. The pool and hot tub were an amazing amenity. It was fun that both master and jr master bedrooms had outdoor showers which we enjoyed so much. The beds, furnishings were excellent and so comfortable. The garage was stocked with boogie boards, toys and everything we could need for fun beach outings. We didn't want to leave. Michelle and Shelley (prop manager) so responsive to all requests. We loved the privacy of the unit, how well built and so quiet inside and in the community. It felt so peaceful there. Lots of fun golfing at a big discount from Michelle's platinum membership was a great perk. We can't wait to go back and appreciate the memorable stay and all the thought that went into the villa and amenities.

Fantastic stay!
Our family of four really enjoyed staying at Michelle’s home. It’s the perfect spot to relax after hitting the beach, hiking or simply exploring the Island. The property is quiet, beautifully landscaped, has a great ocean view and a large lenai - perfect for having a Kona Big Wave or two. As others have noted, Michelle and her local property manager, Shelley and husband Dennis, quickly responded with any questions we had. Additionally, the property, which has a large kitchen with each drawer labeled, was very clean and well stocked with paper products/laundry detergent. There are four body boards and a cooler for day trips in the garage. Finally, we highly recommend paying the resort feegiving you access to the Mauna Kea and Hapuna resorts. Well worth the cost. We would definitely stay at Michelle’s home the next time we return to the Big Island.
