We had a wonderful week staying here. The house was a fantastic layout for 5 couples with large bedrooms, and with indoor outdoor flow to the fabulous pool area where we spent most of our days and evenings. Great kitchen for cooking up group meals and large dining table to share dinners. The bbq area was not working so another bbq at the top deck was available which was fine however needed a clean before we used it. There were two rooms that did not have the same linen as the others and were quite dusty, we changed these beds with the additional linen found in cupboards, the outdoor furniture is well past it's used date and needs to be replaced. The back door did not lock which was a concern when we went out, we raised with property manager however nothing further was done.
The area was perfect for the boys to play golf, shops just up the road and access to the resorts beach area which was lovely.
We would definitely stay again.

I brought my whole adult family and two grandchildren to Hawaii, and this house was beautiful and perfect! Spacious, close to the beach, wonderful views across the golf course, and awesome pool and hot tub. Each room had its own shower, and we had lots of space to be comfortable. I highly recommend this house.

Great family vacation. Perfect location

Ten of us had a lovely stay at this gorgeous house. We enjoyed the open air concept, the pool and spa, the covered veranda, the well-maintained landscaping, and the five bedrooms and baths, including the outdoor shower and bath tub. We grilled, had great meals next to the pool, and enjoyed hours of pool antics with the kids. The location was perfect for sunsets, walking to the Beach Club, as well as driving to Hapuna Beach (not to be missed).
While the housekeeper was sweet, helpful and communicative, we would have appreciated a lesson on the lighting from the property manager who was away at the time. The house is beginning to show its age and the internet connection is weak, but updating and maintenance are ongoing. All in all, a lovely place to stay. We would return.

Ten of us decided to come here together for the holidays and we had an amazing time. Our group included kids (aged 1, 3, and 5) all the way to grandparents and it was a good fit for everyone. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking for large groups, it was really nice that each room had its own restroom, and the awesome pool and close access to the beach were great to allow people/families to do their own things. Everyone agreed that we would happily come here again.

The house with great for family and we especially loved the close proximity to the Mauna Lani Beach Club. The house is easy walking distance from the beach which allowed family members to walk back and forth on their own schedules.

It’s hard for me to complain too much because the house was beautiful. But for the price per night, the issues we had shouldn’t be a thing. The house is great, but needs a lot of work. Multiple lights didn’t work and has issues because the dimmer switches need to be replaced. The master bedroom had a light on at all times making it hard to sleep, not to mention the terrible mattress that needs to be replaced asap. It’s literally collapsing.. The grill doesn’t work. The stove needs maintained. Outdated and worn out furniture. Outdoor furniture that was painful to sit on. Outdoor bath was filthy. Lots of great things about this place for a big group but if you are spending this kind of money, the house should have a working stereo system, a normal keypad door so that we can lock up (I appreciate you guys trust your neighbors for your property but what about mine?) and lighting that works and isn’t giving you strobe light feels throughout a beautiful home. (it’s cheap to replace a dimmer switch).
All in all, do a little maintenance & some facelifts and it’s worth the price. If not. Eeehhhh pick somewhere that matches the luxury price tag.

Beautiful property and nice layout and outdoor areas. A few electrical issues, outdoor grill area does not work. All doors do not lock. Hot tub had broken pieces in the bottom and pool had broken and cracked pieces. Thing the pool needed to be chemically checked before we got there. Several of us broke out in a rash. But after pool guy came it was much better!

We loved our time together in this home! The pools are beautiful and relaxing and we will definitely plan another family vacation here as it will be difficult to find another house that has this kind of room, pools and location!!

This home was absolutely gorgeous. We especially loved the way the living area opened onto the patio and pool area. Everyone in the family thoroughly enjoyed the the bridge over the pool with the spa and waterfalls, all overlooking the golf course. The sunsets from the living room and pool area were magnificent.It felt like we were experiencing paradise at its best. Our family reunion was better than we could have ever imagined.

Beautiful layout in a gorgeous setting. An easy walk to the beach club, fish ponds, good walks. Pool and hot tub were excellent. Furnishing are a bit tired (some in need of repairs) but manager was responsive and made our visit comfortable. Overall excellent time with family and gorgeous setting.

The manager's communication and flexibility could not have been better or more accommodating to our schedules. The house easily accommodated 9 adults and children--we had to be creative to give the toddler his own space so his parents could sleep. We also were delighted to rent a 60-foot child-proof fence to keep him happily active on the patio and away from the pool. Otherwise, we loved the pool and hot tub and the short walk to a very child-friendly beach with snorkeling for the adults. It's also a very quick drive to restaurants and a grocery and is in a super quiet location. Loved it!!

we were a family of seven and had a wonderful stay. i cannot say enough nice things about suzanne and alex and their management. they responded almost immediately to any concern we had (and the concerns were minimal, to be clear). the property itself is solid and likely just due for a little maintenance after, i'm sure, pretty heavy use precisely because it is, at base, a wonderful home that easily accommodates 7 (or 8), well laid out with privacy for everyone, but with a large common area walking out to the pool.

Great Location, furniture and design a bit out-dated and used.

Perfect arrangement for families. we all loved the pool, which was large and had a deep end, seats In the shallow end, and a bridge. So loved the large hot tub. House is the perfect design for families: a large kitchen and great room; and the bedrooms are all separated and give people a place to get away from the crowd. we all loved it!

I am in real estate, but I have also been a Flight Attendant for 12 years & travelled the world. I know a thing or 2 about what I like in a house. I also use reviews to make decisions when booking or buying things. This house is amazing, & we almost didn't book it because the photos didn't accurately show the true beauty of the home (some updated real estate photos/video would really elevate this listing). Luckily, with a little research I found an online video tour of the house and booked.
Pros
We could check in early and checkout late with min cleaning list (AMAZING). Beds are very comfy. Theres a split floor plan, the primary & 2 bedrooms are on 1 side. The primary overlooks the pool/golf course, & has a lanai, en suite, & outdoor shower. The 2nd bedroom has a lanai & ensuite. The 3rd bedroom is by the garage, has a lanai, & ensuite. The 3rd/2nd bedrooms also are next to the front "kiddie pool."
The center of the home is the kitchen, dinning, & living which are HUGE. The other side has the office & sits at the front of the house w/ a day bed & twin trundle, & the guest bathroom (you can get to it from the living room/office. The 5th bedroom opens up to the pool & has an ensuite.
The backyard is beautiful perfect for entertaining. The location is PERFECT. You're right on the Mauna Lani resort, 10 min walk to the Beach Club (which is included in the rental and VERY kid friendly), 20 min walk to 49 Black Sand Beach, 35 min from Kona/Airport, 35 min to Pololu Valley, 30 min to Waimea, 10 min to the Hilton/Marriott, 5 min to the Auberge and Fairmont, & a Foodland close.
CONS:
I am giving this place 5 stars, but I still think it's important to list a few things just so you have the FULL picture when booking. The experience was so great that they really aren't worth mentioning unless you're super particular.
There's a noise restriction at 10pm, & the HOA is VERY strict. We learned the hard way after we were doing Karaoke (very late- sorry again). They are also very strict on lighting. We rented an ALOHA sign and brought a neon light to light up the VERY dark patio and the HOA complained (none of the outlets worked on the bar to plug in lighting & its pitch black once the sun goes down). A waterfall, built in grill, & outlets on bar don't work. No lighting around bar/steps. There is another grill to use though. We found 1 dead bug (a good thing). Ignore the other reviews saying otherwise. Its a tropocial island & an open air home.

Location is key, close to shopping. Husbands loved the golf course. Lounging in the pool was a daily event.

We stayed at the house for four days and had a wonderful time. House is well stocked with towels, soaps/shampoo, garbage bags and a pantry with all the basics you will need to cook anything from breakfast to dinner. House has a sliding glass wall that opens from the living room onto the patio. Nice mix of bedrooms ranging from a beautiful master suite to a trundle bed/home office. Spent most of our time outside by the pool, which has a great view of the golf course and sunsets. Ron the property manager is just a phone call away if you have any questions. We went to the beach club one day. Greta little beach. A little rocky but the water was beautiful. They rent snorkel equipment and it was worth it. I would recommend getting there early- they have lounge chairs and umbrellas to rent but they go fast. Not much shade on the beach. We ate lunch at the restaurant by the beach club. Food was very good a great view as well. All in all a very nice stay. The house is beautiful and in need of some TLC but well worth it. Would absolutely recommend a stay here - both the house and the Big Island.

Beautiful home in amazing location
We have been waiting to stay at this property for 4.5 years and finally we’re able to make it. It was an amazing stay. The pool is perfect for groups! View from the backyard is stunning. You’re a short walk or even shorter drive to the beach club. Property manager was communicative when we had any hiccups.

Great Stay!
We had an absolutely wonderful time. No question we would stay here again. The house is showing its age a bit with some minor elements that could use some TLC. Personally, we really didn’t care about any of those minor things. We were looking to chill by a pool after our wedding and this was exactly what the doctor ordered. Heads up that there aren’t many delivery restaurants, but the local grocery store delivers! No need for a car!

Great location / great access to beach
My husband & I brought our adult children & their children (all adults plus 1, 9 year old) to celebrate our 50 wedding anniversary. The house is in a beautiful location & has a great pool & spa. The house has a nice layout with good separation between bedrooms. It did concern us that the house was dirty & there were a number of items in disrepair. Still we had a great time, what can I say it's Hawaii! I did have a pleasant conversation with the owner after the trip & she was very gracious & promised to follow up on the items.

Great family vacation home
We loved the open concept of the living area with the outdoor area. Everyone enjoyed the pool/hot tub everyday. Would have like a little more lighting, but as we were in and out it was not a major problem. Ron was very welcoming at check-in and responded to any questions or concerns we had.

Our stay at the “Estates” in Mauna Lani was fantastic. Great house & pool and great location.
Our extended family, kids & adults, had a great time. The home has a nice pool, lots of outdoor seating, plenty of pool and beach towels and some pool toys for the kids. Short walk or drive to the Beach Club, good snorkeling and a good restaurant. The home had coffee and lots of cooking amenities all stocked, no need to buy the necessary seasonings to make cooking easier, it’s all at the house. Will be back if visiting the area again, vey comfortable and peaceful VRBO!

Great house
My husband and two children and sister, niece and nephew stayed at the house for our vacation. We loved the location as we could walk to the beach. The house is beautiful and comfortable. We loved the pool and the view out the back of the golf course. The master bedroom is amazing. It was quiet and the beds were comfortable. The property manager, Ron, was great and made sure everything was good for us. We loved our stay here.

Great place!
The house was fabulous. We came for the 70.3 race and the house was right on the course so we got to see our family as we went by! It was so nice that each room had its own bathroom too because we were all adults on this trip.
