The house and yard are great! And the Mauna Lani resort (and the Golf Villas condo community in particular) are beautiful—the nicest on the island, in my opinion. The private white sand beach and neighboring fish ponds are wonderful . And the black sand beach (beach 49) has fantastic snorkeling…as good as in the more famous bay by the Captain Cook monument.
The house is in great condition; it was spacious and comfortable for our party of 5. The kitchen has all the essentials, and the outdoor cooking and dining area is fantastic. As others reviewers have mentioned, the garage is super well stocked with bicycles, beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear, a cooler and beach wagon…We used it all and it really enhanced the experience.
The pool and gym are very nice (and literally steps away), and the permanent residents that we met are all very friendly and welcoming. I can’t emphasize enough how peaceful and well landscaped and maintained the overall complex is…it’s just makes you feel blessed to be there enjoying it.
The hosts are very friendly and attentive, and checked in frequently to see if we needed anything. We hope to be back someday!
