The host Jefferson was fantastic. Easy to communicate with, helpful, and flexible about logistics. Made us feel welcome and made sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Great experience! We appreciate all the details he thought of to make our stay comfortable: chargers by each bed, fully equipped kitchen with condiments, utensils, saran wrap and foil. We used the grill in the evening with a glass of wine on the Lanai and watched the sunset-wonderful! He had boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach umbrellas and chairs, things you might not get with less attentive hosts. The unit was spacious, air conditioned, nice furniture, and plenty of light. The resort is pristine - well manicured, friendly staff (everyone greets, even the gardeners). It is walking distance to the shops, beach club, fish ponds, and restaurants in the hotel. The beach club has a beautiful outdoor restaurant (as does the hotel). We highly recommend this Mauna Lani home and look forward to returning in the future!

This is the second of Jefferson's properties I have visited. He has multiple across the globe; my stay at his place in the wine country of Sonoma CA was excellent, and when I heard he had added this location to his collection it convinced me to return to the Big Island after 15 years. He is definitely a professional host. I appreciate all the little details he thinks of to make your stay comfortable - he has these great chargers by each bed (both sides in the Master), stocked kitchen with all the condiments, utensils, and saran wrap and foil, etc are present; he even had boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach umbrellas, all the things you might not get with less attentive hosts. The unit was spacious, working air conditioner, nice furniture, and plenty of light. The resort is pristine - well manicured, very friendly staff (everyone greets you as you walk or drive by, even the gardeners). It is waling distance to the shops, the beach club, the fish ponds, and the restaurants in the hotel. The beach club has a beautiful outdoor restaurant (as does the hotel). Also the beach club is excellent for me because I am not a fan of the sun, and after 5pm there is shade on parts of the beach there so I can sit without worry of burning. We saw sea turtles in the bay there just 20 feet out. This place is great for kids or for the avid golfer. If you want a peaceful place and avoid the crowded resorts, this is for you. Ask Jefferson about his other places!
