About this apartment rental

Come and enjoy the wonders of the Big Island while staying in the comfort of our home. The Fairways is a luxurious gated community in the renowned Mauna Lani Resort on the South Kohala Coast of Hawaii. The South Kohala Coast rests in the protection of the rain shadow of the Mauna Kea Volcano which, at 13,796 feet is the highest point on the Island. As a result, the South Kohala Coast enjoys the most sunshine and the least rain on the Big Island.

The Fairways is a short 5 minute walk, in one direction, to the beautiful Fairmont Orchid and, in the other direction, to the Shops at Mauna Lani. The Orchid offers elegant dining at Brown’s Beach House, or Norio’s Steakhouse and Sushi Bar, or beautiful cocktails and sunsets as the conch is blown, at the Luana Lounge.

At the Shops you will find a gourmet grocery store and you can browse fanciful art galleries, purchase up-to-the-minute resort wear, sample craft beer at the Island Hopper, or relax over a wonderful meal at the restaurant/lounge on the balcony at Tommy Bahamas.

A beach walk of 20 minutes will take you to the Mauna Lani Auberge Resort Hotel just up the coast, where their ocean-front Canoe House restaurant delivers meals and moments you won’t forget.

A 10 minute drive south down the highway will take you to Waikaloa Resort, where the King’s Shops and Queen’s Marketplace offer additional variety for golf, restaurants and shops, while Hapuna and Mauna Kea golf courses are just a 10 minute drive north, with the acclaimed Hapuna Beach a must stop.

The Mauna Lani resort area claims 2 championship golf courses, the North and South courses at the Francis H. I’i Brown Golf Club. They are immaculate tracks. Additionally there are acres of walking trails throughout the resort, wandering through lush gardens and black lava expanses. One can examine the Pualo petroglyphs left almost 300 years ago by ancient Hawaiians. The Honu (Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles) are numerous here and one can see them sunning themselves on many beaches. The Auberge Resort raises baby turtles in their saltwater ponds on the north end of the hotel and releases them into the wild when they reach sufficient size, with appropriate pomp and ceremony, on Turtle Independence Day every July 4th. At certain times of the day throughout the year, you can see them being fed and listen to an expert about the care and raising of turtles. Also there are the Kalahuipua’a Fish Ponds evidencing the sophistication of the ancient Hawaiian aquaculture. Between December and March the Islands are visited by Humpback whales as they stop to deliver and raise calves on their journey between the hemispheres, and they present a show, breaching out of the blue waters between the Big Island and Maui.

The resort is also just down the road from Blue Hawaii who offer helicopter tours of the Kilauea volcano and the mountains, waterfalls and highlands of the Island.

As our guest, you will have access to the Mauna Lani Private Beach Club (see pictures), just a 5 minute drive south within the resort. While the beach is not private (none are in Hawaii) this access entitles you to park and enjoy the lounge chairs and cabanas, as well as the Napua restaurant/lounge located there. The beach is a protected enclave of sugar white sand, and the snorkeling is amazing.

Our 1900 square foot 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath townhome has been furnished with guests in mind. The gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and endless cupboard space stocked with everything one might need, with stools at the kitchen bar to allow those not creating magic within the kitchen to bear witness and socialize. Just off the kitchen is the laundry with full size washer and dryer.

The dining table is set for six. Adjacent is the living room area with a 60” flat screen TV and Bose stereo system. Free wifi is available in the condo and at the pool. The lanai looks out on the immaculate landscaping of the Fairways resort and pool, and is accessible from either the living room or the master bedroom. It is furnished with dining table and loungers, next to the built-in Viking grill and wet bar.

The master bedroom has a King size bed and 40” flat screen TV. The master ensuite boasts a dual vanity, an oversize jet tub with separate shower and walk-in closet. Upstairs, the 2 bedrooms have 1 King size and 1 Queen size bed and a pull-out twin bed and a full size bathroom.

Just down from our unit is the flawless pool area. Near the pool are landscaped areas with waterfalls and a large hot tub. Overlooking the pool is the complementary Fairways gym and workout facility.

We invite you to come, stay at our home and explore the Big Island. We know you will love it, just as much as we do.

Our family of four appreciated this spacious, comfortable home in Mauna Lani. The location is great, we walked to petroglyph park and the beach every morning where we frequently saw turtles. Our kids loved the pool and beach club. There is excellent snorkeling off the beach. It was a good base for day outings and we had a fun, relaxing vacation.

Wow! What a nice property! My family and I (total of 6, age range of 9-74) had a splendid time. The check in process was swift, the amenities of the space were as described, and the owner, Carolyn, went above and beyond during our stay--more details on that below. The extras of the property were perfect--plenty of snorkel and beach gear, a stocked pantry and fridge with more than just basic items--it had everything I needed to cook. There was plenty of space for my large party to spread out and have their own space and privacy. The home was clean and ready for us upon arrival. We did have one issue during our stay, but the property owner went above and beyond to remedy the situation. The dishwasher broke in the middle of our 16 day stay (which, with our large party, could've been terrible) and the owner had a repair person out at the property very swiftly. Within a couple days, we had a brand new dishwasher installed. I can't say enough how awesome that response was--once again, kudos to Carolyn for taking care of this so quickly!

Have stayed at The Fairways many times, and this is one of the best floor plans. Main floor MBR with 2 bedrooms upstairs. Convenient to pool and facilities. Highly recommend!

We loved the condo and location. We had a 4 year old child with us and she loved the pool, the beach club beach with sand toys and chairs provided in the condo, as did we all. The kitchen had all the necessary spices and condiments plus a lot of other stuff. It was a great change from the condo that we rented last year that provided only salt and pepper. There are plenty of dishes, pots, pans and serving pieces. There is a nice grill but we didn’t end up using it. There were also games, puzzles and movies. The layout was very comfortable and as beautiful as the pictures. We plan to return. It truly is Carolyn’s Paradise!
