This was our second stay at Mahi Lulani in Holualoa and it was another great trip. The house is perfect for 3 or 4 couples with beautiful open spaces, privacy, wonderful views and lovely outdoor living areas. The kitchen is large and very well appointed with everything you need. Everything worked (mostly) and was in good condition. We used the outdoor BBQ quite a bit and when the propane ran dry, Kona Coast brought in new tanks within 24 hours. I would not hesitate to return to this really wonderful property.

We stayed here for Ironman, the home was just far enough from busy Kona town. The home is very private located at the tree line above Kona. The rooms were comfy with plenty of room. This home has a large driveway and garage to keep your stuff in. The pool was really nice with a beautiful view of Kona. This home doesn’t have AC but after 9pm the home cools down. There is a lot of nature at the tree line so you will hear frogs all night..

My family just spent a fabulous May in Kona at the Mahi Lulani house. Most of the great aspects are already covered by other reviews: the view and interior are as gorgeous as advertised, the location is convenient to Kona activities. Although far from a really nice sandy swimming beach, it’s only about a 15 minute drive to great snorkeling or the large tidepool that serves as a keiki (children) beach. There are beach toys and coolers, lots of towels, books and puzzles (more now!) The wi-fi was fine both to work and stream with. The kitchen is big and well stocked with appliances, glasses, etc. The pool is amazing and very clean. The service from Kona Concierge was generally great. We had an issue with streaming from the large living room television — it was replaced the next day! On the other hand, here are a few things you might want to consider: 1) bugs and frogs: the coqui frogs have made it to Kona. These are tiny frogs that have a pretty noisy birdlike call. They start at sunset and go til about 4, and the birds start at 4:30. Most of us got used to these quickly, but not everyone in our party was able to sleep well. With no AC, all the windows needed to be open on hot evenings. The noise is strongest in the two bedrooms farthest from the pool. And, maybe because there was more rain in may than usual, the mosquitos were a bit overwhelming for most of us. At some point one of us had over 30 bites, while others had only one or two. 2) safety: this is not an accessible house. The gorgeous infinity pool has no handrail. This is pretty clear from the pictures, but if there were a way to put one in temporarily that would be amazing. 3) hot water and dishwasher: we were five adults going in and out of the pool. The washing machine was a life-saver and did well with water of any temp. The dishwasher, on the other hand, and shower in the north wing, were often useless. We only found out when we called the company to let them know about a neighborhood power-outage (in case anything needed resetting) that THE HOT WATER IS ON A TIMER. Huh? When we washed dishes after 8 pm, even after slamming the dishwasher shut, which was required, the cold water did nothing.

The view and the pool and the patio and the house were all amazing! We had many homemade meals on the patio and the hot tub was also used, believe it or not! Awesome to wind down the day with a glass of wine and a warm soak. We stayed 19 days……and loved every minute!

6 adult stayed for 8 nights. The house is very comfortable. Big rooms, great lanai area with pool and spa. The kitchen and entire house were very well stocked. There is an orange, lemon and avocado tree on the property. The lemons in particular were great. We loved the house and are already thinking of coming back.

Home was better than we were expecting, location is excellent proximity to Kailua groceries and diner spots. Neighborhood is quiet and feels secluded. Pool and hot tub were both perfect size and water temperatures. The pool and outdoor area are expectational, 90% of our time at the home was utilizing the outdoor amenities. Bedrooms are of good size, TVs are outfitted with everything you need for a movie night. Standup desk in the master bedroom was extremely welcomed. Internet speed was exceptional. We had a question about the pool water level which the owner responded to extremely quickly. Best vacation experience our family has had. We vacationed with a family of 5, kids between 10-14 years of age and a set of grandparents. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we hope to visit again.

We have rented houses all over the world, but none were as close to perfect as this one! Beautiful, well maintained, super clean, and the outdoor areas are stunning!

We were a party of two professional couples, well traveled. We have rented many VRBO homes all over and would put this one at the top of the list! The quality of the home and location were beyond our expectations. The mgmt company was VERY attentive and it was a wonderful vacation! Would not hesitate to reccommend to others.

This home is situated hillside with a terrific view of the bay and city. The property is very private with a lush garden and wonderful neighbors. The home is incredibly clean and well laid out to give everyone their own space. The description of this home does not mention the abundance of appliances, utensils and serving ware. There were also pool toys and beach supplies which were appreciated,making beach trips more enjoyable. The lanai and pool are wonderful and spacious with great shade and comfortable seating. This house is a must when visiting the big island.

This was a nice way to be able to be with friends and family after this last yr. We were able to enjoy ourselves safely and the kids could come and go to the pool as much as they wanted! Great family spot!!

Staying at this amazing property was truly a treat! Tucked away safely in a gated community up the hill, the view was absolutely breathtaking, the climate was lovely and not too hot and yet we only had to hop in the car for a 10 minute drive to all the Kona attractions and grocery stores. Communication and check in was flawless. It felt like literally everything was thought of and extremely well prepared. As film makers, we travel a lot and we have seen a lot of places. I must say that this rental was the best we ever stayed in and I will prefer this to even a 5 star hotel. It was squeaky clean, perfectly equipped and the pool and the lanai were stunning. We will definitely try to return here sometime in the future. Thank you for unforgettable memories!

We give this property an all-around 5-stars rating! The only thing we were unhappy about was having to leave. :-)The home was well equipped, the location is ideal, and the setting and views are spectacular. And Kona Coast Vacations was an amazing host - top marks for their professionalism and attention to detail. This is a superb rental property, and we immensely enjoyed our stay. The home is so comfortable and lovely. We loved the beautiful grounds, pool, and views. Most memorable were our dinners at the outdoor dining table watching the sun set over the ocean. Spectacular!

Amazing sunsets and house. We were a little concerned that it did not have air conditioning but it cooled off nicely at night. Would definitely recommend and rent again.

The home was truly lovely with fabulous amenities in a great location. The house and grounds were very well cared for — the appliances, kitchen, pool, bathrooms, furniture, electronics and floors were all top notch. The open floor plan and outdoor living spaces were perfect for what we wanted. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was we had an issue with the hot water where we had difficulty getting it to heat up properly. The property management firm, Kona Coast Vacations, was great however and really worked hard to get the issue resolved. The team was very responsive and followed up regularly to ensure the problem was addressed to our satisfaction. I would not hesitate to stay there again or with another property managed by them.
