Great property and everything was a breeze.

My husband and I stayed here without 5 children. The location was conveniently located so we got to Hilo and Kona easily. This home is located in a quiet community and we very much appreciated that. Foodland grocery store was walking distance. Beach club access was close and the beach wasn’t busy. Close to Hapuna beach which was our families favorite. Our 4 and 5 year loved the huge pool. Home had all the amenities covered. We were all very comfortable with our large family. We had no issues with cockroaches which can be a problem on the island. We recommend this location and plan to stay at Carolyn’s vacation home in the future.

We greatly enjoyed the comfort of your condo! We were welcomed to a clean and well-stocked place to call home for two weeks! The pool and Beach Club were well attended by our family and we loved the local recommendations by the owners!

We enjoyed our week stay! Very clean, well maintained and comfortable! A Big plus having the resort and beaches within walking distance. Thank you Carolyn for being a wonderful host!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at your house. Thank you for making our trip comfortable and enjoyable.

We had a wonderful time staying here. The Fairmont has a public beach with snorkeling that is less than a third of a mile walk. We also utilize the tennis courts at $20 a person for the day. The condo is fully stocked and a spacious place to rest at the end of the day or during the mid-heat of day. The master bedroom is downstairs and quite spacious. The separation of space from other family members was wonderful. I’d highly recommend this place. We had a great time.

This was our 2nd vacation stay at Mauna Lani 1505 It was just as fantastic as the 1st time. Our family had a blast!! I would highly recommend this rental if you are looking for a vacation home. The property manger is very prompt if problems do occur.

A few issues arose regarding tv and freezer. On site rep

This was a fantastic property to stay at for our family vacation. It was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. Beds were comfortable. The pool and beach items were a nice bonus. We really enjoyed our stay! Thanks for allowing us to use your home as our home while on our vacation! Mahalo!

This is a wonderful place to stay. There was 5 in our party, my brother and his wife, my sister and myself and my wife. Plenty of room. We enjoyed sitting at the pool more than the Beach Club as the Club was crowded for the long weekend and the pool was gently used. We were here for a family wedding and that took 3 days of our time and the other days were for relaxing in this beautiful home. Really enjoyed ourselves after the year we went through. Highly recommend this property.

Lovely property near the pool. Sound proof walls! Carolyn’s Paradise comes with everything one may need. Cleanliness standards could raise a bit, yet otherwise a lovely stay! We would return.

Met and exceeded all of our expectations!

Being within walking distance of the beach at the Fairmont Hotel and to food shopping and dining, as well as short drives to golf courses, and numerous locations for shopping and dining was great. Having a community pool which almost nobody used was also a plus. The property was comfortable for the 4 of us and we were so relaxed after two weeks that we didn't want to go home.

This was an excellent condo for our three-generation family of 6. The host was helpful and responsive, the kitchen was well-equipped, and we enjoyed the quiet privacy of the patio where we ate almost all our meals. We hope to stay here again.

We stayed in this condo as a family of 5 in December 2021. It was perfect for our vacation, and exceeded our expectations. Carolyn was an excellent host - her instructions were great and made things simple. The location in the Mauna Lani resort (about a half hour north of Kona airport, with the beach, a few shops, and restaurants within an easy walk) was very convenient for us. The pool and hot tub are literally steps away. But the condo itself really shined - beautifully and tastefully decorated, even in comparison to some of the other units in the resort (we travelled with friends who rented other units). The unit is also very well stocked, with everything from spices and staples (which made cooking a full Christmas dinner possible) to alcohol and glassware to beach equipment like chairs, boogie boards, and reef shoes. It was a lovely place to spend our holiday.

Well, I want to be totally honest with my review because I believe this could be an excellent place to stay with some critical improvements. First and foremost when an owner knows major renovations are going to be done on the pool at the place this should be relayed to the potential renter asap. In our case it wasn't. We were looking forward to a nice big pool right outside our door for the two week stay and two days before we arrive the owner told us the pool would be out of service. She didn't let us know that in reality it was being renovated and would be out for 6 weeks, our entire stay. This was BIG. Second, and most concerning was the entire cleanliness of the entire place. We had worn through sheets in the master bedroom and they had blood on them our first night so we had to wash them. The master bath had shower scum in the whole thing and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks or longer. The living room floor had major dirt on it especially under the furniture. When my grandson had one of his toys go under the couch it was so dirty when his arm came out from under it it was covered in dirt and lint. He also found a toy truck from a previous stay. The toilets throughout the condo you had to monitor and make sure they didn't get stuck or the toilets would run constantly. The fans in the Bathroom and living room didn't work the whole time we were there. Finally there were stains on the decorative pillows on at least two in the living room. Now the upside of our visit was the size of the place was comfortable for me and my family which were a total of 5 adualts and 1 18 month old. The beach club was nice! A lot of nice amenities!! The beach gear in the garage was nice to have access to and the kitchen was well appointed with everything you need including a nice liquor cabinet to start you off which you are asked to replenish which is totally reasonable ! Would I stay there again? Yes if they address the cleanliness of the entire place , replace all linens and decorative pillows and hire a new cleaning service, address the plumbing issues and replace or repair the fans and have full disclosure of the maintenance items on the pool so people are aware of these things going in. This place is a lot of money and it's the right thing to do to tell people far in advance about those types of issues. Mahalo! Bob

Great location, pool and beach club are lovely.

We are a multi-generational group of 6 ranging from 6 - 65+ and had a fantastic stay in this beautiful condo. The pool was a complete hit for everyone, and the Mauna Lani resort overall is a fantastic location and property to experience on the big island. As other reviews stated, the condo is extremely well-stocked with staples ranging from sugar and flour in the kitchen to boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, coolers and more for the beach, making it for a seamless vacation experience. Carolyn is a very pleasant and responsive host. The master on the main floor makes it great for anyone with mobility issues and there is a handicap parking spot very close to the property. One member of our party has multiple sclerosis and rented a scooter for the duration of the stay and he found it very easy to get around—the pool is very close! We loved being so close to the gorgeous Hapuna Beach and enjoyed the beach club, but probably spent the majority of time at the pool…which is incredibly warm and one of the nicest we’ve found from any condo resort we’ve stayed at on the big island. Thank you to Carolyn for sharing this beautiful location with us—we most certainly would come back and stay here in a heartbeat!

Everything about this property was absolutely perfect - the cleanliness, the location, the amenities, the owner, the area, the ambiance, everything! We are already talking about when we will go back, staying at this property will be a must. Paradise!

Our family had a lovely vacation at Fairway condos. Carolyn’s condo was fully equipped with beach accessories to fully loaded up with condiments and spices. I’ve never seen a VRBO so stocked. She’s a fabulous host and was quick to respond to our emails. We love the mauna lani location with Tommy Bahamas , Foodland and the Beach Club being in close proximity.

This unit is next to pool and had everything we needed. Very well appointed with all the little things you need for a great trip. All the little things for the kitchen, beach, and a great stay. Looking forward to the next time!

Great location halfway between Hapuna and the Waikoloa Village. Grocery store, shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Mauna Lani Beach Club and 49 Black Sand Beach (both great snorkeling) 5 minute drives away. The pool is a great place to end the day!

Our stay was fantastic! The home is beautifully furnished, well equipped kitchen and the best bonus was all the beach equipment form snorkel gear to beach chairs and even kid sand toys! When we come back to the big island we hope to stay here again.

Attractive, well maintained unit. Nicely stocked with many amenities! My family enjoyed the peacefulness and beauty of the property. An overall fantastic stay!!

We had a wonderful stay at Carolyn's condo. It is both beautiful and comfortable. Our stay could not have been more perfect. You will find all amenities necessary - love its location - steps from the pool - beach equipment available. Will definitely stay here again.

Carolyn is a very responsive host. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked for another week. The beach club access was key. We enjoyed using the snorkeling gear there and also using the Mauna Lani Beach club rentals to kayak. A really nice market was very close by. We'd even walk to it. This was like a home away from home, and we will definitely return.

Great, comfortable accommodation in the best Big Island resort area. The Mauna Lani is so convenient and close to all of the best beaches. The Fairways is a quiet, mainly adult area with everything for a great vacation close by. The owners were excellent to deal with and we found the home provided everything needed for us to feel at home. Having all of the beach accessories, including umbrellas and chairs is a real bonus.

Great place to stay for 4-6 people. Lots of room and great location. Best thing about it is the kitchen supplies. Most rentals don't have a condiment or spice to be found. This place has tons and only asks you to replace if you finish something. A really nice benefit.

There were a few minor problems with the property that were immediately addressed by the owner. We appreciated the ability to communicate with the owner and have these problems taken care of so rapidly .

Our family met here for Christmas and had a great time There was plenty of snorkeling and beach gear for a family of 4 or 5. There was alcohol in a cabinet from previous guests...we replaced what we used. And there was also a good assortment of cooking staples and pots/pans. Overall, we really enjoyed the rental and had a great vacation!

We enjoyed our stay. The property was beautiful and the condo was very clean. I would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely beautiful property, very well decorated and extremely well stocked and comfortable. A word of advice, there are LOTS of condiments in the unit and other unused food items that people including myself have left for future visitors so check out what is in the pantry before going to spend a large amount of money on groceries, definitely a lot of condiments covered........ Super private unit as well and direct access to the pool which was a fun time with the kids every night after we had been at the beach all day. The gas grill was great too! Also having access to the Mauna Lani beach club just a few minutes away with the key card was wonderful! great snorkeling there and nice cabanas. Fairmont Orchid has the most beautiful outdoor restaurants and the smaller of the two (and more affordable) shares the same extraordinary view as the pricier option. Also has the best fish and chips I've ever had!
