About this house rental
Nestled in the gated community of KaMilo, located within the upscale world class exclusive Mauna Lani Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii is this breath-taking 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home. This stunning gated community is one of the Big Island’s newest neighborhoods and offers beautifully appointed luxury homes with golf course, ocean and mountain views. Some of the features of this home include vaulted ceilings and an open floor-plan, perfect for relaxing or entertaining with your family and friends. This home is Hawaiian owned and operated and under new management full of Aloha service and spirit.
This luxurious 2-story home boasts the largest floor plan in KaMilo, offering 4-bedrooms, 3.5-baths. The large open floor plan optimizes space and privacy effortlessly. Enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine on the upstairs lanai while taking in the beautiful views of Haleakala on Maui (on a clear day) or the Kohala Mountain range. You will not be disappointed while driving up to the property, park and enjoy as you will immediately be taken back by the sight of 4 of the mountain ranges here on Hawaii Island; Kohala, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, & Hualalai, all while unloading your luggage. The gorgeous finishes throughout the kitchen and main living area as well as the lavish retreat-like bedrooms exudes vacation luxury at its finest.
Take a step through the front door and enter into your luxury Hawaiian retreat home. You will be immediately enchanted by the beauty of this home. The gorgeous gourmet kitchen features top of the line appliances paired with all the cookware you need should you feel like preparing a gourmet feast. Barbecuing off of the lanai is also an option with everything provided (i.e. gourmet stainless steel BBQ grill, propane tank, barbecue tools, as well as comfortable outside furniture for the cook and co-cooks to relax and sip on their favorite beverages, while preparing meals). No expense has been spared in this home as it is furnished with Bamboo Flooring, top of the line furniture as well as the most up to date electronics for your entertainment (i.e. HD Cable TV, Flat Screen HDTVs in the main living area as well as within each room, and high speed Wifi internet).
You enter the home on the top floor which boasts the modern Great Room with plenty of space for your entire group to relax or entertain after a day of travel, beach, or an adventure to any of the 10 climates the Big Island has to offer. The main living area flows directly out onto the spacious outdoor Lanai through floor to ceiling pocket doors, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor. You certainly will not be disappointed with the views this home has to offer.
The main level Master Suite, conveniently located beyond the powder room, provides privacy and a beautifully done ensuite. The river stone glass shower screams luxury. This bedroom is perfect for those who may want to limit using stairs, and complete with the accommodation of two Queen beds as well as ample closet space. Journey downstairs, and you will come to the first bedroom on the right. Decorated beautifully beach-y and paired with two twin size beds. This room also has the ability for the beds to be configured as a Cal-King, if you wish. The 3rd bedroom shares a bathroom with the twin bedroom mentioned previously and is nautically designed with the ocean at heart. This 3rd bedroom has two Queen beds as well as a large walk in closet.
Last but certainly not least is the main Master Suite. This exquisite design exudes a fusion of modern style, clean-line artistry, coupled with warm decor and 1 King bed. Walk from your master suite into your grand Master Bath. No expense was spared here with its double vanity, enormously deep soaking tub, and a large walk in glass river rock shower. The master bathroom is also home to a large walk in closet for all your vacation clothing/gear. However, it doesn't stop there, the main master suite along with the other 2 downstairs bedrooms, open up to their own private lanai's.
This home is filled with Aloha spirit and service and is waiting to welcome you into its Ohana.
Want to take a dip in one of two pools this community has to offer, or perhaps work up a Hawaiian style sweat? The recreation center is just a 5 minute leisure walk down the street. The recreation center features a dedicated lap pool, a free-form pool, two hot tubs, an exercise room with equipment and plenty of room to sweat. It also offers a huge covered pavilion with plenty of room for eating lunch or seeking shelter from the blazing Hawaiian sun.
Some of the best snorkeling is just a few minutes’ drive to the Mauna Lani Beach Club, where soft, lapping waves are safe for young and old alike. Journey around and follow the marked paths to discover some of Mauna Lani's ancient fish ponds. If you get hungry or thirsty you need not look far, Napua Restaurant is right there at the Mauna Lani Beach Club weaving ancient Hawaii into contemporary times with its fantastic cuisine.
The Shops at Mauna Lani offer open-air walkways and some of the most chic shopping along the Kohala Coast. Stop by and enjoy the fresh, succulent cuisine at one of The Shops five premiere restaurants. From casual to formal, The Shops have it all 7 days a week. If you need dining, snorkel rentals, groceries, clothing, jewelry, as well as twice-weekly free Polynesian entertainment, this is the place to be. Beyond the resort, its up to you to discover the mountains, beaches, valleys, waterfalls, shopping, coffee plantations, zip lines, helicopter rides, historical interest, and anything else you may come across on your perfect Hawaiian vacation.

What a wonderful home for our multi generational family. The kitchen was fully stocked for our cooking needs. The beds were so comfortable. It was so nice to have such great beach towels for the 12 of us. Just a great place!!!!

Spent 10 days in this amazing house with a group of 10 family members. Had a great time, perfect location in the Mauna Lani area. Kitchen well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. Great outdoor space, we used the grill on the lanai several times. Would definitely stay here again.
4.9
This home exceeded the listing in almost every way. Plenty of room, comfy beds, well stocked kitchen, beautifully appointed and of course the views. Quiet and well maintained development that was convenient to everything we wanted to do. Great swimming and exploring options on site, and some excellent beach parks a short drive away. Lastly, communication was excellent. We had two small items we contacted the owners about and they were addressed immediately. Would definitely come back.

We booked Bonnie’s home for a multi-generational family vacation, with my parents, siblings, and our respective children (from both Japan and the US) and couldn’t have asked for better accommodations. From the start, Bonnie was kind and communicative, and let us know when the home was available for an earlier check-in time. The house is spacious, beautifully appointed, immaculate in terms of cleanliness, and in a perfect location. We enjoyed relaxing on the lanai in the morning and evening, cooking big family dinners (the kitchen has everything you need), and we all slept well in the comfortable beds and bedrooms after days packed with play. We were a large group (12 in all), and the home has enough space such that we could enjoy our communal “together time” and also have privacy in the individual bedrooms as needed. Mauna Lani’s Beach Club was perfect for the little ones in our group, while the rest of us explored the many great beaches within short driving distances from the house. (The garage is well stocked with boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, and umbrellas). Other highlights of our trip included a drive up to Mauna Kea for stargazing and watching an amazing sunset and moonrise, and snorkeling to see Manta Rays. All in all, this home proved to be an absolutely perfect home base. We plan to book again for future trips to the Big Island.

Beautiful home, very clean, and room for our multi- generation family (grandparents, 5 adult children and a 3 1/2 yr old) to spread out yet be together comfortably.
Home was generously stocked with extra sheets and towels- including a wedge to turn the room with 2 Extra long twin beds into a King.)
Very explicit directions for access to the property were provided.
Great open floor plan, air conditioned, very comfortable beds with lanai area off each room.
The sunset view from the lanai near the living/dining area was gorgeous.
Beautiful community pool in this gated community,
The Beach Club access card that was provided gave us access to a wonderful beach cove. The day we spent at The Beach Club, snorkeling off the life-guarded beach was THE BEST! We all really appreciated all the garage items that allowed us to enjoy the beach - umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, coolers, and beach towels.
We brought our own snorkel, mask and water/scuba booties and saw lots of beautiful tropical fish.
Thanks for a great stay. Wish we could have stayed longer, and hope to be back again!

We encountered multiple inconveniences and deficiencies (leaking pipe flooding under sink, dirty kitchen appliances, coffee and grounds still in pot from prior tenant, broken couch on lanai, jammed unusable screen door to lanai, dirty grill with malfunctioning starters, window screens not fitted to windows which repeatedly pop off, broken table lamp). On one occasion a bird flew in after a screen popped off and after helping it out, we cleaned several poops off floor and on furniture. We did enjoy our week long family gathering and were good natured and accommodating with the host. Agreed to minimize use of leaking sink and repeatedly empty basin collecting the water. I sent a kind message upon departure to our host and suggested she remedy the various problems prior to next occupancy. We were totally dismayed at her charging the maximum “property damage deposit” stating “unclean” and “indoor furniture left outside” (we did leave one ottoman on the covered lanai used the morning of departure for seating since the sofa on the lanai was broken). She complained of sand left on the floor and sent a photo showing minimal sand on the floor of the entry (a beach house!) and sent a photo of a bird poop on a windowsill blaming us for it! We still await resolution and have not yet received our deposit back. VRBO folks reviewing this case are helpful and reassuring that we will get our deposit back but it is an arduous process and certainly soured our otherwise fun family vacation.

Breathtaking home right when you walk through the front door! The pictures do not do it justice. Spacious, comfortable and clean. Perfect for a large family to enjoy a Hawaiian holiday. We cannot wait to visit again!

We came to Hawaii with three generations of family. It's our third time in Kamilo. This home sets up well for us. Kamilo has good amenities and the pool/exercise facilities got good use. We'll be returning here again for a family vacation, when we return to Hawaii.

Our annual trip to mauna lani with kids, spouses and grand kids. It’s the high light of our year!

We loved our stay at this home. We had 8 adults and 2 kids and fit very comfortably. There is a lot of equipment in the kitchen to prepare a variety of group meals. The community pool and beach areas were fantastic for swimming and snorkeling. Lots of equipment for playing at the beach at the house, too. We would happily come back. Thanks for the welcoming stay Bonnie!

My spouse and I, our daughters, sons, sons-in-law, and grandchildren spent the week here in early January. It was fabulous! The house is beautiful and comfortable, as are the grounds, and facilities. Would definitely stay here again!

Very comfortable. Clean. Felt like home.

Our multi-generational family had a wonderful time in this lovely home. The location is great for excursions around the island, but also has a nearby beach perfect for snorkeling for adults and children. And the pool with its super-shallow end for a toddler just learning to love water was a great addition. Nice restaurants and a convenient market made it a relaxing stay. Highly recommended!

We invited our 2 children and their families PLUS our siblings, 3 brothers and 1 sister and their spouses to join us in this celebration. They were not there all at the same time but came in small groups so we would have room for all. Never more than 12 and usually 5 to 10. The house worked out just perfect. We switched bedrooms a few times to accommodate who was there and that was also fine. We had a 1 year old so much appreciated the pack'n play and the gate for the stairs. There were plenty of pots/pans for the kitchen, good size refrigerator. We loved the open space upstairs and the outside lanai where we spent our evenings enjoying the beautiful sunsets. Having a 5 year old and a 1 year old with us we moved some of the items on top of tables and stored them in the closets to avoid accidents. We all enjoyed the pools and access to the beach. GREAT beach for kids and adults snorkling. Loved having the supermarket nearby too. A few of the restaurants in "our" shopping area were closed while we were there but there were enough at the Waikoloa Beach Resort a few miles down the road. The place was quiet and peaceful and I slept in all the rooms at least 1 night and slept well in all of them. I can highly recommend this place for families with or without children. Bonnie the host, was also very acommodating and replied to all our questions before we arrived and after getting there. Thank you, Bonnie. We enjoyed our stay and considering returning for our 55th.

This place was unbelievable. Phenomenal location, stunning views, and all the amenities one could need. Contact with the host was simple and straightforward. My friends and I had an incredible time staying here and would recommend to anyone coming to the big island!

The property was clean and very comfortable for a family of 6, including 2 grandparents. Access to the Beach Club was a great amenity to have, as the beaches were clean and had great snorkeling and swimming close to shore. Would definitely recommend to other families.

Bonnie was super responsive to any questions I had. Home was meticulously kept and well decorated. Access to the beach club was a huge perk and there were plenty of beach chairs and snorkel gear to take with. The pool area was also very nice and just a short walk from the house. Wouldn't hesitate to book this place again.

This home was perfect for our family! Lots of room for all of us. Way better way to go than a hotel! Full kitchen allows for meals to be cooked rather than trying to eat out every meal. Has everything you need for a fun and relaxing stay! The property manager was wonderful to work and communicate with. We’re so appreciative. Great time!

This neighborhood and house are fantastic. Our communication with Bonnie was top notch and she responded to everything very quickly! We had a group of 11 and it worked out perfectly. A couple pieces of advice, if you have a large group, I would plan on buying some bags of ice for drinks and such, but I’d do the same at home for a group of 11, so just plan accordingly. The dryer does have some issues, not sure if it was user error or if it was malfunctioning, Bonnie did say she’s look into it.

This house was amazing for our family vacation! Super clean. Well stocked kitchen, tons of fresh bath and beach towels. Plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella, snorkel gear and toys in the garage. Beds are comfortable. View out the back was amazing.
Foodland, in the Mauna Lani shopping center, is only 3 minutes away and has amazing fresh poke every day (but you have to go in the morning or they sell out). Night snorkeling with the manta rays is a must.
Definitely the best place to stay on the big island!

Thank you for a memorable time on paradise.

We brought our kids and grandkids to the big island for a Christmas present. The house was perfect we loved everything about it and especially all the extras like beach gear, beach towels and baby stuff. We had 8 adults and 4 kids ages 10, 8, 2 and 9 months. Our favorite part was opening the window wall to the deck every morning and seeing the beautiful view and hearing the birds. Thank you very much!

We have stayed in the MauniLani area two times and just love it. The house was just beautiful and the best equipped kitchen we have ever stayed in. The view from the Lani is beautiful. We would book this property again. This location is perfect to all the beautiful beaches and some excellent restaurants. Our host Bonnie was excellent to deal with as well. Missing it already.

Our family had a wonderful stay. Traveling with teenagers, it’s nice for everyone to have their own space to sleep or veg out. Each bedroom downstairs has access to a private patio to hide away and read. The house is well stocked with basic amenities. The upstairs patio with open access to the family room was a favorite group hangout area.
2 minute drive to good grocery store. 8 min drive to great state beach with excellent waves for boogie boarding. 5 min drive to nice beach club for easy parking and a beach with no waves - good for snorkeling, paddle boarding, or little kids.
My only wish was we had an ocean view…but can’t get everything! :)
Bonnie was great and super responsive to texts. She even put up a Christmas tree and left my kids presents! Would definitely recommend.
