About this house rental
Brought to you by Paradise in Hawaii Luxury Homes.
Welcome to Starfish House, a part of our Hawaiian Luxury Collection. The owners are the same as that of Sea Glass House at KaMilo which is one of our most elegant homes. Like Sea Glass and its best location in KaMilo, Starfish has the best location and views in Kulalani. The home is in new and overlooks the golf green and a massive pond on the Mauna Lani north course. From the wrap around porch you can watch the Hawaiian wildlife visit the pond including herds of goats (baby goats are so cute) and lots of magnificent birds. This is a bird watchers paradise.
This model is the larger Kulalani 3 bedroom in the fourplex which sports a large living room with lanai/patio windows on two walls to open up the entire living room to the outdoors. The covered lanai wraps around the living room providing lots of afternoon shade. The home also sports a private large double garage meaning there is no concern about parking.
Starfish House provides a perfect setting for your Hawaii getaway and is designed for large groups of up to 8 people. It is a sophisticated, inviting, welcoming, relaxing luxurious home for your Hawaiian vacation.
Fast WiFi with great coverage included!
We know our Guests look forward to an exceptional experience from the moment you start planning your Big Island vacation. We've incorporated all of our vacationing experiences from Hawaii and around the world, to ensure you have an exceptional stay.
We love friends & families
Big Island is such a wonderful place to spend with your friends and family, children and grandchildren. Vacations create such wonderful memories; we hope is this trip will be one of your fondest family memories and that you'll return year after year.
Starfish House is a 3 bedroom home that is exquisitely furnished. The Master Bedroom is on the main floor and features a spa-like ensuite complete with a soaker tub.
The second bedroom sports a King bed.
The third bedroom features two full size beds.
The living room features a 65" Ultra HD 4K TV.
The private grill is perfect for bringing home the fresh catch of the day or veggies from one of the many farmers markets.
Each of the three lanais are tastefully furnished for your comfort and enjoyment. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, a new job, retirement, or simply celebrating the sunshine, our home is sure to create a great experience.
Beyond building an elegant, yet comfortable furnished home, we know its often the small surprises and conveniences that make all the difference.
Examples include:
• High-end luxury mattresses in all bedrooms for your comfort and enjoyment
• Luxurious high end bedding for all beds
• Luxurious towels
• Spa shampoos, soaps and lotions
• A fully equipped kitchen for all of your cooking, baking and BBQing needs
• High end blender for making great smoothies and other tropical drinks
• Large selection of vinegars, oils and spices
• Starter pack of Kona coffee & collection of teas
• Popcorn
For your day at the Beach:
We love building really big sand castles. Kohala sand is exceptional for this and we have the tools for kids and adults alike. For your day at the beach, you'll find
• Comfortable beach chairs, beach mats, umbrella's, sand toys and sandcastle making equipment, volleyball and football
• Large collection of snorkel gear in multiple sizes so you can share the wonders of the ocean
• Boogie boards to enjoy playing in the waves
• Life jackets, swim belts for the younger ones
• Large wheeled cooler and tupperware containers for your beach picnic
Enjoy our collection of bikes (adult, youth and kids with helmets and locks) allowing you to explore the Mauna Lani resort. They are great for going to the Private Beach Club (access included), exploring the Black Sand Beach, historical grounds, Fairmont resort hotel or the many other wonderful places that Mauna Lani has to offer. Ask us about deals on a GEM Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (Golf cart) rental for even more family fun.
For those with children;
Having traveled with our kids when they were young we know how difficult it is to lug all the baby equipment. Our goal is to make your life easier so we have equipped our vacation home with:
• Pack 'n Play
• High chair
• Baby monitors
• Bed safety rails
Things to do:
Staying in Kulalani gives you full access to its Recreation Center with fitness equipment and multiple hot tubs and lap pool, free form pool and kiddie pool.
You can also take advantage of the clean private beach club staffed with lifeguards and the Napua Restaurant just two miles away. Excellent snorkeling in calm waters!
A short drive away are the six (6) of the most spectacular beaches in Hawaii including Beach 69, Hapuna beach and the breath-taking Mauna Kea beach.
The Kohala coast is a golfer's paradise with seven (7) challenging courses all within 7 miles of our villa.
Minutes down the street is the Shops at Mauna Lani where you can find super-market, coffee shops, restaurants, clothing and accessory stores, art, and free weekly entertainment in the evenings.
For larger groups ask us about renting homes next door / across the street so the entire group can all stay near each other.
Starfish House is within the Mauna Lani resort, close to both Auberge and Fairmont Hotels.. Make Starfish your home, extend your conference stay!

Great vacation stay for our family. Felt like home. Everything was comfortable, clean and very nice. We will stay there again!

amazing home. extremely clean and well put together, the owners thought of everything needed for a awesome family vacation then provided it! beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, coolers, beach wagons, bikes ….on and on. All the beds were very comfortable. Great wi-fi and tech for staying connected to work. We would definitely rent again!

Wow! Absolutely everything needed to make a vacation in Hawaii incredible was had at Starfish House. We have been coming to Mauna Lani for over ten years and this home is the BEST we have ever stayed at. Wonderful.

We have just spent a great week at the Coconut Telegraph house in the Mauna Lani resort and could not be happier with our experience. Our group of six enjoyed a great week together and included myself and my wife with our two adult daughters and grandson as well as the BFF of one of our daughters. There was plenty of room for our group to spread out and sleeping arrangements were easy. With a bathroom for each bedroom there was no waiting for showers, etc.
The kitchen was well supplied with cooking utensils and dishes, so meal prep was easy. We used the outside grill several times as well. Eating out on the lanai was very pleasant as was just relaxing outside. Sitting outside in the morning listening to the many birds and having coffee is something that we miss now.
There was easy access to several beautiful beaches which we took advantage of and the beach equipment that was in the garage was helpful.
We enjoyed visiting the volcano and recommend a visit to the Greenwell Farms coffee farm to see how Kona coffee is grown and processed.
We were also able to go whale watching, watch manta rays feed in the ocean at night, and our daughters took surfing lessons.
The fitness facility and pools were also easy to access, very well equipped and enjoyed by our family.
Overall this is a great property and we highly recommend it.

We booked Starfish house after seeing the beautiful pictures on line and, upon arrival, it did not disappoint!!! We were in need of sleeping for 8 and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Our party of 4 couples were able to make full meals with the high quality appliances and well-stocked dish and drink ware.. This trip meant a lot to all of us for many reasons and the Starfish house was the perfect host. Thank you so much for making your beautiful home available to our family.

The house was stunning and had a perfect location at the end of the development. More than enough room for 4 adults and 2 children (including grandparents). We loved our time here and loved the views out the huge glass windows on the lower floor, and the privacy by it bordering the golf course. Only minor issue we had was curtains breaking and not being addressed, and a flat tire on the kids bike that they never had someone come out to look at, despite being responsive to our request. I would love to stay here again though!

Beautiful property, exactly as described. Quiet neighborhood, which was great for us. Close enough to Fairmont Orchid to walk easily for a conference. Pool area was very nice. Access to beach club was a plus. Many toys in the garage- were wonderful to use. Large main bedroom with walkin closet and spacious bath. Great communication with hosts, excellent information about the unit. Views are golf course and mountains. Kitchen was very well appointed. Few little items were not ideal. Could not figure out some of the fans and could not get them to do anything other than very fast. Outdoor grill was used a lot and a very nice feature- but cooked very hot. Easy to adjust to once we knew that.

This is a very nice home, very comfortable and the lanai with the view over the golf course is beautiful. We took full advantage of that, taking in the sunrise every morning with all the bird calls. Does sleep eight (comfortable beds!) but it required sharing the large master bath (off the very nice large master bedroom) with some of our daughters in order to make the two full baths work when all of us were getting ready to go out at the same time, but that was a workable solution. Large water heater and so there was never an issue with the hot water supply.
Parking the second car was no hassle really, with a spot at the next unit over. The garage is for two cars but with all the outdoor gear they provide, there is really only room for one car.
Close to a small grocery store, easily walkable. Used going4groceries.com for our initial needs in order to avoid that stop after a long flight (property management provides them with a temporary access code to deliver the groceries ahead of your arrival). Well equipped kitchen with a lot of small appliances to use and plenty of dishes.
Short walk to a nice pool with separate lap pool and workout room.
The access to the beach at Mauna Lani is a bonus and has good snorkeling water, where we were able to swim with and observe some beautiful/interesting fish. Depending on how far out you went within the resort’s mapped area, the water was up to 20’ deep.
Responsive local property management. Two virtually new adult bikes were delivered same day that we pointed out that two of the bikes provided were out of commission for various reasons.

This was a very nice property. Would highly recommend the Mauna Lani area as a base for seeing the island. Nice associated facilities. Foodland and some shops are short walk or minutes-drive always. Adjacent resort shopping less than 10 minutes drive away. Hapuna Beach (Conde Nast #1) is less than 10 minutes away, gorgeous. The resort private beach and various walkable shore areas and sights and are quite nice too. The management are responsive to needs.

We had a great time here it is a beautiful home. The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked at hone every day. The owners were very thoughtful and provided sporting equipment and bicycles. The beach club has excellent snorkeling and a relaxed atmosphere. We liked the proximity to the grocery. The TV’s worked great. The view from the lanai was gorgeous and we saw many birds.
The only downside was the early check out at 10 am. We thought we would be able to hang around at the pool for a few hours as our flights were in the evening. This is standard at most hotels. The pool attendant asked us to leave the premises because we did not have our room key. The facility should provide guest passes for departure days. It really left us feeling sour after a great vacation. We also could not find any information on the bicycle cart that was shared by the complex. Some in our party were enthusiastic about using this but we couldn’t find anyone who knew anything about it.

The starfish house was exactly as we pictured it- from the grand staircase to the bikes for all 6 of us, everything was amazing! We loved sitting outside on the lanai for coffee during the sunrise and cocktails during sunset. The beds were so comfortable, and the kitchen was perfectly stocked. We loved everything about our stay! So grateful for such a great place to stay after a year stuck in quarantine!

Big Island Treat
Stayed here exactly one year after having to cancel our 2020 trip due to Covid. The owners were very accommodating in allowing us to switch our reservation, and the wait was well worth it. The house was perfect for our family of 5, plus grandparents. We loved how secluded it was at the end of the development, and the views out the back of the golf course were spectacular. One advantage of staying in Mauna Lani is access to the private beach club. This is a perfect beach for calm water, good snorkeling, and relaxing in the sun, and is just a short drive away. The house was also well stocked with things to make a beach trip easy—chairs, coolers, boogey boards, etc and is a nice touch that another house we previously stayed at lacked. My kids also loved making use of the bikes! They woke up early each morning and would ride up and down the quiet street before breakfast. The house was as advertised. We usually prefer a firmer mattress, but had no issues falling and staying asleep on these softer beds (I had seen other comments about this). The kitchen had plenty of everything for eating and cooking, and even had some simple spices and other basic necessities that cost a fortune if you have to buy them all individually. We messaged the owners about a small issue with one of the lights not working and they responded right away. It was easy to find the house and check in with the provided instructions, even in the dark. We love the Big Island and will hopefully be back in the next couple of years and would love to stay here again! Thanks for everything!

Kaua'i Visitors
We took great care in researching for a place that was comfortable and beautiful prior to a family event in Hilo. This place delivered! Everyone had space and the amenities were great. We enjoyed having the outside area to have our meals. The master suite is quite amazing! Jeff and Suzanne communicated quickly. The area was private with a powerful view of Mauna Kea and the watering hole on the golf course. There is an inactive construction site as you drive up but it did not detract from our experience once you stepped inside. The kitchen was very well-stocked. There was great attention to detail. As a family that enjoys the outdoors, we appreciated the beach equipment and happy that we did not have to bring them from Kaua'i. Mahalo!

Great for families
There is a lot to love about this rental unit. The Master is absolutely palatial, the view and location on the back is stunning and quiet, and the garage is full of everything you could possibly need on a family vacation in Hawaii. We also loved the private beach and the pools and fitness center are fantastic. Some of the downsides; the mattress on the master bed and second bedroom is very soft and uncomfortable (very easy fix). The front of this unit faces a construction site that has been dormant for 2 years - it's not really a problem, just very unattractive. We also found that the layout of the kitchen and dining room was not ideal. All in all we had a great stay but it's just not perfect.

Awesome!

Starfish House Felt Like Home
The home is beautiful, just as pictured. The Master is large and gorgeously appointed. The second and third bedrooms are smaller, but very nice as well. Having the walls that slide open to the lanai was such a treat and we were grateful that there were nice screens. We wish that the Master and dining sliders had screens as well, but we just kept those doors closed. The kitchen was very well appointed as far as cooking tools, dishes, and serving items! There was not the selection of oils and vinegars, but we bought our own at the Foodland close by. The TV remotes can be a challenge, but we managed. The garage was well equipped with snorkel gear, boogie boards, bikes, and coolers. The pool and workout facility are just as pictured, very nice! We enjoyed the Island very much! Our favorite place to hang out during the day for great food was Kona Brewing. Sunsets at Canoe were breathtaking. Days spent at Hapuna Beach topped our list of great times here! The sugary sand, clear aqua waters, turtles, whale watching, and of course people watching, made for a full day of fun. We returned several times. As we pack today, we are already thinking of our next visit! Mahalo, Starfish House!

The Starfish House is totally extra - the cohesive decor, expansive indoor/outdoor space, and palatial master suite amounted to a wonderful stay in Mauna Lani. Would recommend to anyone!

It was a perfect place for our families trip
We rented the starfish home for our family and another family with kids that came with us. We all absolutely loved the place. It was such a clean and beautiful spot and had everything we needed plus more. We ended up needing a later check out which they were able to accommodate for us as well. We will definitely be booking this place again when we go back to the big island!!!

Dream vacation
What a beautiful stay! The house is beautiful with plenty of space. Our party of five was so comfortable with intimacy and lots of space. You find everything you need in the house. The kitchen has everything you can think of and more. We even found a personalized message and little fun gift for our son. Tissues, toilet paper, soap, dishwasher soap, etc. All was provided generously. We had bikes, all functional, and plenty of beach equipment. The decoration of the house is done with great taste and everything is in good condition. We enjoyed the lanai so much! It is the perfect house in perfect location. Thank you so much for the great stay! Mahalo!

beautifully decorated house
Nice house with tastefull room decorations, perfect located to the Mauna Lani Shops, the beaches and to pools and gym. Also equipped with bikes, beach gear and bbq.
Air condition didnt work quite well in the different zones of the house though. Outside sitting area and floors could have been a bit cleaner...All in all a good location. enjoyed our stay anyway!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
The Starfish house couldn't be more beautifully decorated and welcoming! The deck is fabulous -- you are steps away from the golf course (which was not busy at all while we were there), and often, goats are frolicking nearby and beautiful birds are flying from tree to tree.
We only had time to use the community pool once, but it is GORGEOUS, and the lap pool was SO VERY WARM. Ahhhhh.
We also loved having access to the community's beach club -- it is a beautiful piece of beach (especially early in the morning!), and there were plenty of lounge chairs and "cabanas."
The community is very easily accessible and is located in a great spot on the island. We had a great time staying here and wished we had allowed a few more days to explore this side of the island.
Thank you!
