Relax in our 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2,100 sqft. condominium and enjoy the many upgrades we’ve added to our home, including hardwood floors, new bedroom carpeting, an updated outdoor kitchen, and more.

Our lanai’s northwestern exposure offers views of the ocean, the Kohala coast and, on clear days, the magnificence of Maui’s Haleakala across the channel. We’ve spared little expense furnishing our home for family and friends, and trust that it will offer you the warmest aloha during your stay on the Big Island. Our unit offers: kitchen bar stools; an indoor dining table; two master suites with king size beds, dual sink bathrooms with a tub and walk-in shower; internet access; multiple 60”+ web-based HDTVs; Polynesian-inspired furnishings, a third bedroom with twin beds and a futon; a Bluetooth sound bar; two Tropitone outdoor tables/chairs on our lanai; an outdoor kitchen with sink, six-burner Weber Summit grill and refrigerator; and finally a wide variety of pool/beach extras, including towels, toys, and boogie boards, etc. We also ensure that our kitchen and laundry are equipped with virtually every necessity to accommodate you during your stay.

Kitchen well stocked, plenty of towels, and a pack and play for our toddler. The owners were super responsive and when we did have one small issue, the property manager was prompt to respond and made himself available in no time. We absolutely love this location and the amenities and our favorite part is taking advantage of the hotels nearby. We get to enjoy the beaches, beautiful pool but also have plenty of space to relax.

It's conveniently located across from the Mauna Kea and Hapuna properties. We went to the Mauna Kea daily and loved it. We've stayed in this development before and were familiar with the layout. This property was decorated very nicely and located right by the communal pool/gym. The decor was great and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. Lots of utensils, wine glasses, etc. Erica and the property manager were in contact if we needed it, but we only had a few questions otherwise all the information given prior to arrival was easy to follow. We were traveling with a family of five including three teens kids. Two other families that had nearby properties which made it super fun for the teens and parents to hang out.

We spent our family summer vacation at this lovely property. 3 girls (9, 14 & 17), my parents and the two of us. There was plenty of space for all, the views were gorgeous. Proximity to the beach at Mauna Kea (my all time favorite) was a definite highlight. Early morning walks before the sun came over the mountains, splashing in the ocean by 9:30 a.m. What could be more perfect? Thank you to the gracious owners for stocking such a great kitchen, many delicious meals and pupus were made and consumed by all. I can't say enough great things about this special place. The kids were all happy to have wifi and loved the pool of course...I was able to ignore email and disconnect from the rest of the world for my glorious week. Mahalo! ##### Nicole B.

Everything in the condo, from the furniture to the appliances, was in top-notch condition, making our stay as easy and comfortable as possible. Our family of four was able to relax easily amid the gracious layout of the condo, with three large bedrooms, a huge kitchen and living area, and a lanai with a large gas grill. Having a washer and dryer in the unit made life easier, as did having access to the small gym and lovely pool at the amenities center around the corner. The condo was extremely clean when we arrived, and the pantry and kitchen were amply stocked with cookware, kitchen appliances, paper goods, and an assortment of spices, oils and vinegars (which are very helpful when cobbling together dinner from a few expensive ingredients from the local grocery stores). The owners were extremely helpful in terms of making restaurant and activity recommendations. They also provided valuable information about several of the different markets in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed swimming and lounging at the gorgeous white sand beaches and pools, both at Hapuna and Mauna Kea, alternating between the two. The condo was also an easy drive to north Kohala, where we visited the town of Hawi and hiked to the black sand beach in the Pololu Valley. (We also visited Volcano National Park, Hilo, and the observatories at Mauna Kea.) Based on the excellent condition of the unit, its location in the exceptionally beautiful area of Kohala, and access to the resorts and related facilities, we found this home to be a very good value for our family. ##### Len B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elissa S., Portland, OR Jan 12, 2017 #### Beyond fabulous! An incredible condo with incredible amenities! From our first inquiry, the condo owner (Erika) was attentive and helpful with all our needs which made booking this beautiful place easy. The photos do not do the place justice, it is more gorgeous than it looks. The place is well outfitted with everything you could want to live here for 10+ days: we made Christmas dinner here and the kitchen is stocked will any/all appliances and cookware you need. On some evenings we BBQ'd on the gorgeous and vast outdoor grill and had dinner under the Hawaiian moonlight on the large patio which was beautiful! Inside dining had plenty of room for our large family of 5 (we have 3 people well over 6 feet and they actually "fit" in the furniture!) The bedrooms are comfortable and come with ample bedding, extra pillows if desired, plenty of towels and linens and huge closet areas for all your "stuff." The condo also provided beach towels for our day trips and snorkel adventures, boogie boards, snorkel gear, floatation noodles and there's sand toys if you have little ones. After being in the sun all day, coming back and being able to watch movies on the giant TV's as a family was wonderful, and we also enjoyed using the great sound system (hooking up our own iPhones via bluetooth) to play Hawaiian music for our at-home happy hours! We hit Costco and the kitchen has more than enough cabinet space, as does the large fridge/freezer, for all our food and drinks! And there is a large washer and dryer in-house as well! With the cool breezy Hawaiian nights we could sleep with windows open and utilize the ceiling fans (in every room) or close everything up and use the AC... The greatest advantage is full amenity packages to both Hapuna Prince Hotel and the Mauna Kea Hotel....choices! Plus there is a pool and work out room next to this condo as well. With access to all chairs, towels, cabanas, facilities and both resorts, we had the best of both worlds (along with charging privileges so we didn't ever have to carry wallets to the beach!) The condo is located close enough to both Waiamea and Waikoloa towns and near King/Queen shops to do some shopping, and explore restaurants there (like Merimans, best restaurant!) Erika also gave us her list of favorite places to dine and tips on great local/secluded beaches (Beach 69 is beautiful!) I hesitated to write such a great review because we will be coming back to this beautiful condo and don't want to share our great find :) ##### Elissa S.

My family just returned from our 8 night stay in beautiful Hawaii. Our family of 6, including our 3 kids and my Mom, had the perfect amount of space. We loved the layout and the outdoor grill and patio. The beds are so comfortable I actually slept well on vacation, which is not easy for me! Erika was a dream to work with, so flexible, responsive and helpful. She gave me lots of great tips for enjoying the island with kids and is just a really kind person. We also had a great experience with her house manager who was also very responsive and helpful. We loved having access to the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, it is a 5 minute drive with parking included in the Amenity Package. It was very busy over Spring Break! We have been to the hotel many times over the years and it was the busiest we have ever seen it, but I guess everyone else was looking for sun like us! I highly recommend this beautiful place to call home while you visit the Big Island! ##### Sara D.
