From the moment walking through the front gate it was such a comfortable, wonderful place. Everything was there to create a fanatastic home away from home.

The house was beautiful, spacious, well-furnished, and well-located a very short (3 min) drive from the hotel beach properties. It was also sparkling clean upon our arrival. After a our full days of tennis and beach time at Mauna Kea, we enjoyed coming home and being able to relax in the pool and hot tub right outside our sliding doors as well as grilling on the BBQ and eating on the lanai, with stunning sunset views over the ocean. We also enjoyed exploring some of the nearby restaurants as well. The beach at Mauna Kea - which we went to every day - was fabulous... long beach, silky white sand, beautiful clear blue water. The tennis courts and instructors were wonderful - friendly and great with our kids. Michelle was incredibly helpful and professional in all our interactions with her, from the very start of our finding the house online and asking her questions about it through to the very quick refunding of our security deposit after we returned from our stay. We certainly hope to return again soon!! ##### Meredith Stayed 10 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig Apr 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great home, quiet community, responsive host / property manager ##### Craig Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael M.

The home was enjoyed by the whole family, from cartwheels on the plush grass, the sunrise views on short walks, to star gazing almost every night, to the home having everything you could possibly need, easy to find and plenty of it! Communication with Michelle and the local manager was always without delay. This trip was to celebrate 3 birthdays in our family and it was super special!. 🌺🌸 ##### Erika P.

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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 16 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth T.

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! ##### Elizabeth T.

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!! ##### Meredith Stayed 18 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane D., Boulder, CO Nov 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect beach getaway We loved the house, it had everything we needed, beautifully organized and dialed up. Michelle was very thoughtful and responsive. We would love to come back. ##### Diane D. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jeanie R. Aug 27, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Jeanie R.

Easy access to Mauna Kea Beach and all the facilities. Fantastic service and communication with the hosts. Amazing grill and outdoor dining area + pool/hot tub. So nice to have space and not have to eat every meal at the hotel. Can't wait to come back ##### Jared S.
