Times have changed! At that time, Trent Jones Sr. was challenged to build a course on lava bluffs, but met that challenge and was honored by his son, Trent Jones Jr. decades later with an update to his father's design. Later, Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay stepped up to the task by creating an 18-hole course at The Hapuna Prince Beach Hotel now known as the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort, a part of the Mauna Kea Resort. Welcome to the Mauna Kea Resort! Enjoy this beautiful relaxing vacation home in the exclusive gated community of Moani Heights.  It is geared towards kids and family who are wanting to explore the Big Island and perhaps take advantage of purchasing resort access and amenities through the membership of the homeowner. This home offers a complete kitchen with updated cabinets, new applicances, granite counter tops, appliances and working desk to page through a local recipe book.  With ocean views from the kitchen, living room, and dining area, the lanai doors open to casual seating, lounge chairs for bathing, a BBQ and rattan dining set all flanked by a huge pool and hot tub. Heated pool and hot tub available at a daily fee. This 3 bedroom, 3 bath home is situated on an acre providing a grand presence within the neighborhood. Each master king (2) offers a private full bathroom with shower, soaking tub, private toilet room and walk-in closet. Step outside through the lanai doors where you will have a private lounge area or a straight line to the massive hot tub. The 3rd queen bedroom has an adjoining shower bathroom, and overlooks the entrance courtyard lined with plumeria trees. All bedrooms and two bathrooms were recently updated with new flooring. The spacious media room with its own stand-alone air conditioning is where the fun will be, leaving the formal living room for those who want quiet while watching the spectacular sun rise and sun sets! The media room sleeps an additional 2 people and is a great place for the kids! High ceilings, tile floors, ceiling fans, and a large flat screen TV with cable is where everyone will want to be at the end of the day. Plenty of books and games for the entire family! It is our sincere hope that you will build a tradition through the years, making the Mauna Kea Resort your home away from home through one generation after the other. Effective April 2024 to November 2024 the Mauna Kea will be enhancing their hotel. They are still open. Full beach and amenity access still prevails. The Westin Hapuna Golf Course remains open, while the Mauna Kea course is getting a make-over. Daily fees are published under house rules. Rates are updated annuallly.

This place was amazing! Was fully stocked with EVERYTHING from cleaning supplies to laundry supplies, towels, pool and beach toys etc. There was nothing we had to run out and get, it was all there! House was clean and comfortable! Having two master suites was a huge bonus! Plenty of room for the 7 of us! A huge part of what made our stay so memorable was getting the access to the Mauna Kea Resort! Highly recommend getting that! It’s only a 5 minute drive from the house (20 minute walk). The resort looks brand new and has a great gym, pools and one of the best beaches I’ve ever seen! Our only issue was the hot tub was not working while we were there, but Donna (owner) has promised to make that right. I cannot wait to go back to this place! Amazing!!! ##### Derrick L.

Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Had everything we needed for our 5 night stay over Thanksgiving! This property was simply amazing. We are last minute planners and booked this about 2 weeks before our stay over Thanksgiving 2024. Donna was SO helpful before, during and after our stay. By far the best host I have ever encountered at a vrbo. She even left us a few surprise goodies for our arrival! Completely unexpected and very appreciated! This property had everything we needed to make our Thanksgiving wonderful (besides the groceries or course). It was spacious for our crew of 6 (2 adults, 4 kids under 10), and it also had a pack'n'play and high chair ready and available for us. Check in was seamless. We got in late and had zero issues finding the place or getting in. We opted not to purchase the resort access since there are plenty of other things to do on the island. We did hit the Mauna Kea beach a few times but get there early, the parking lot does fill up fast! Hot tub and pool were perfect for us. There was a book with insutructions on the pool and hot tub, i did have questions on warming up the hot tub but Donna put me in touch with someone who was able to help me with it quickly! Super easy. There was a cooler that we used daily, and some misc beach chairs and toys for the kids. All were very appreciated! Conveniently located near several of the best beaches on the island. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to the big island. ##### Suzanne h. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adeja M.

I enjoy resorts - this has changed the way that I will vacation in the future. The house was so clean and the pool & hot tub was wonderful.

Aug 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Missing Attention to Detail The property was pretty and fit our needs well. It was well appointed, and comfortable. We liked the location. However the property manager lacked an attention to detail that detracted from the trip. To begin with, she did not consistently reply to my inquiries within a business day. The check-in instructions were somewhat confusing, and included, for example, an incorrect street name. (It was a "court", not a "circle", a minor difference that matters if you're using a navigation app that can't find your vacation home!) Once we arrived at the property, I went to guest services of the associated resort to pick up our passes. We had not been pre-registered, as we were supposed to be and had paid to be. When I asked why, the person behind the counter guessed the name of the property manager I was dealing with. Clearly I was not the only client to have this experience. At the house, the hot water didn't work. So the showers were cold and the pool was unheated. It was Saturday. The property manager told us she would call the maintenance people on Monday, as they were closed over the weekend. On Sunday, the maintenance people showed up on their own to clean the pool. We asked them to fix the heat, and they did. They pointed out they were available 24/7 and assured us we could call them any time. That was not the information the property manager gave us. ##### Peter A. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Buck H.

There were four of us, and we had plenty of space with bedrooms and bathrooms for each of our adult children plus us. We enjoyed the pool. Initially it wasn’t heating but after messaging the host it was fixed quickly. We enjoyed the view from the house. It was well supplied. Instructions were clear. Place was clean. Area is very quiet.

May 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Beautiful with areas to improve It was a beautiful home and ample space for four adults and two kids under 10 years. The views were breathtaking however, pool was not cleaned before we arrived. My family and I cleaned it ourselves on the first night. I liked the fact that the depth was safe for the little ones. The heating between hot tub and pool malfunctioned during the first two days. After some back and forth texting (lol many text messages assuring the manager we were following the instructions) , Donna herself came out to fix it with the handyman. The pool was fixed and cleaned. Bring kitchen supplies. Be sure to bring basic supplies ie sugar, coffee filters, citronella candles etc. I noticed that swim gear was available ie snorkel gear but make sure to clean them well and check they work. We got out to the beach and realized their snorkel masks needed to be replaced. Easy fix via renting equipment on the beach. Hapuna’s beach does not disappoint at all! Treat yourself to a cabana! Remember that when you rent this home an additional $165 per night will be charged for resort amenities automatic at the end of the stay, Irrespective if you use the resort amenities or not. Just be aware of that. I will say the resort amenities are stellar and we enjoyed ourselves. Overall, I think Donna tried her best with communicating with us but we could tell she was very busy. It was a nice stay and everyone enjoyed themselves for the most part. We will likely find another place next time because of communication issues, timeliness to fix house concerns, cleanliness, and resort fees. ##### Annabelle D.

Oct 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Family Vacation This house and it's location was perfect for our family of four. We used all the amenities that both hotels offered as well as having our own pool. When you first walk in, the view of the pool and the ocean just blew us away (the photos don't do it justice). We enjoyed the sunsets from the patio and the star gazing was incredible (you can see the Milky Way and shooting stars). The snorkeling at Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach were fantastic. We also saw the Manta Rays at night at Mauna Kea. We drove to Hilo (1.5 hours), Kailua-Kona (30 minutes), Waimea (15 minutes) and the top of Mauna Kea (1 hour). I wish we had more time to explore! Donna was extremely responsive with any issues that we had. We are definitely coming back!! Mahalo!! ##### Yoshiko A. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig A. Oct 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Visit with adult kids We have stayed at Mauna Kea many times. Several times at the hotel and twice at other homes/villas. This home is on the other side of the highway, away from the hotels and beach, so it is Not an easy walk to the beach. The home is nice, each bedroom has its own bath and the rooms are reasonably private at night. The house layout is good, the living room is a little small, but is right off the poll area, so it was fine for the 6 of us. If you had a bigger group with maybe small kids, there is a finished garage, turned into a large family room area. The pool is nice and pretty large for a private res., but not good for lap swimming. The views are ok, nothing to write home about, sort of peak a view. We stayed one week here with our adult children and their partners. The home worked out very well for the comings and goings of everyone and we could hang by the pool when all together. ##### Craig A. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gina R.

Donna was amazing to work with and attended to all of our needs. She was responsive and helpful with all of our requests. I highly recommend staying at this beautiful property. It was well stocked , perfectly located, and overall… beautiful. The rooms are as seen in the pictures. If not better. Stop looking for another place, book this one :). ##### Adrian K.

It had everything we needed for our stay. The home was organized & it had a detailed check-in & check-out. We loved the pool & hot tub and used them daily. Donna was very communicative & responsive. The beaches at both resort properties were worth every penny. We'd love to visit again! ##### Jennifer M. Stayed 6 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bethany G.

The pool is perfect and the ocean views from the pool/hot tub are breathtaking. The kitchen has everything you need and I loved the separate dining and living rooms. We did the beach club and enjoyed access to all the resort pools and beaches as well. We're already planning our next trip! ##### Bethany G.

The kitchen is well equipped and the house is comfortable. Only drawback is that while the house sleeps eight people, it does not have a dinning table, inside or out, that accommodates eight people comfortably. Having access to the Mauna Kea Beach Club was key. Overall the house works well and we will look to rebook it next year. ##### Peter M.
