Better than advertised!
Our host Wendi was so attentive. We appreciate her sharing her wonderful home. If you are looking for a relaxing place to unwind or a base camp for adventure we would recommend this property. Mauna Lani beach club is the best for families, especially the kids. We would stay here again without even a thought!

Great stay in Mauna Lani
Our family spent five nights at Fairways at Mauna Lani. It was amazing. The condo is very nice with all the amenities you'll need. They even have everything for the beach as well: beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, umbrella, coolers, etc. All the beds were very comfortable. We also loved spending mornings on the lanai listening to the birds. However, the best thing, in my opinion was access to the Mauna Lani beach club. A short 5 min drive gets you to a private-access parking lot within a few steps of the beach. The are cabanas available (first come, first served) and many lounge chairs too. The beach offers nice white sand and plenty of shade. One bonus that we weren't expecting was the snorkeling was excellent. You just have to get outside of the main swimming area to the left and the water is clear with lots of coral/fish. I highly recommend staying here. Wendi was great to deal with and the condo was even better than the pictures indicate. Oh, the pool/hot tub area at the condo was great as well. We often had it to ourselves.

Absolutely amazing Hawaiian getaway!
My stay at this stunning VRBO property in the Fairways of Mauna Lani was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the beautiful townhome, I was enveloped in luxury and comfort. The spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome felt like a private oasis nestled within the picturesque Fairways of Mauna Lani. The location, set between the 4th and 12th fairways of the Mauna Lani North Golf Course, offered breathtaking views and a serene ambiance. Plus, being just 25 minutes from Kona International Airport made it incredibly convenient. The interior was exquisite. The kitchen, a chef's dream with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and fully equipped for any culinary adventure, made cooking a delight. And the lanai, with its Viking grill and stunning view of the 12th fairway, provided the perfect backdrop for morning coffees and evening sunsets. The main floor's master suite was a highlight—a spacious retreat with a king-sized bed, huge master bathroom, walk-in closet, and direct access to the lanai. Upstairs, the cozy bedrooms were beautifully furnished with comfortable queen and twin beds, ensured a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring. Beyond the townhome's elegance, the amenities at the complex were exceptional. The large pool, complete with a waterfall and a hot tub, offered relaxation and leisure. For those inclined towards fitness, the fully equipped exercise room was a boon. Can't wait to return!! Host was very reponsive! Thanks!

The property was exactly as advertised and had everything we needed. The house was spacious, beautiful, and extremely comfortable. Access to the pool, kids' pool, jacuzzi, and short drive to the private beach club made everything so convenient. We have stayed in this complex several times and this was our favorite house so far. The property manager quickly responded to all inquiries. Highly recommend!

A True Gem!!
Our family of five throughly enjoyed everything about our one week stay! We've been vacationing at the Mauna Lani resort for 15+ years and this is the best residence we've stayed at for its amenities, decor, view and convenience to several of the best beaches on the Kohala Coast. Wendi P. our contact was so responsive to any questions. Everything was so perfect we really didn't need to reach our to her. Thanks for making our vacation so memorable!

We loved staying at Wendi and Jim’s beautiful townhouse! It was very clean, super comfortable beds, gorgeous view, and had everything we needed. We cooked several meals at home and the kitchen was very well appointed and functional. The layout of the place is perfect, with the kitchen opening to the dining and living areas. Wendi always replied quickly to any questions we had. Would love to stay here again on our next trip to Mauna Lani!

Comfortable and well appointed
The condo was clean and spacious. It had everything we needed including the beach chairs and a couple of noodles to float with. It is very close to everything you need. The beach club is a short drive away and we spent most days there. This is our 8th trip to Mauna Lani and we always stay in one of the resorts so we have access to the club. We spent our days there and then come home, shower, hit Tommy Bahama's for happy hour and go watch the sunset at Holoholokai beach just down the street. Take a beach chair and your camera. To get there turn left out of the complex. It will be a short way down the street and the entrance will be on your right before you get to the Orchid's entrance. Tommy Bahama's is down the street in the other direction. Happy hour is from 3:00 to 5:00. The frozen Mai tai is awesome. The sliders and fish taco's were a favorite too. There were 6 of us that stayed for part of the time but most of the time there were just 4. The 3rd bedroom beds are not Queen and twin. It was more like a double and child size bed. I marked down the accuracy of listing because of that. My daughter who is a thin 120 lbs, and usually sleeps on a twin, did not fit on this bed. It also has crinkly waterproof mattress covers which she said was hot and noisy. The lanai was very private. We were able to have coffee in the morning in our pajamas without neighbors seeing us. It is a very peaceful place. The master suite is massive. We enjoyed the huge bathroom and closet.

Great place, and location, it needs a bit more thorough cleaning, 2 things to note are the AC is capped at 76, however the fans helped a bit. and the garage had car in it, but there were parking spots available outside, other than that it was well appointed and had the basics needed if we wanted to cook.

Thank you Wendi and Jim for being such amazing hosts! We had a wonderful time at your beautiful home! The property has everything you need, with all the comforts of home. I don’t think the pictures truly do it justice. Wendi went above and beyond and was very responsive, we very much appreciated this as we were travelling with 3 young kids. This was our first time visiting the big island of Hawaii, and I know that all of us are looking forward to returning one day!

Lovely Place, Superb Location, Supportive Host
This is the second time in Mauna Lani and I love it here. This is a lovely home in a superb setting. Coffee on the back patio, lanai, is beautiful overlooking the golf course. The kitchen is well appointed with very nice cutting boards, pots, pans and great chefs knives. Wendy is thoughtful, she turned on the AC as she knew I was bringing children. She also helped when I had to ship something via Amazon. For this price of a home a new TV seems appropriate. The Apps did not work well and each time we went to choose to watch Netflix, or any other App the TV would show an error saying it was communicating with hub etc. We would have to wait for XX minutes, watch regular TV and keep checking back to the Apps to see if they were done “communicating”. We had already logged into our Apps so it was an error from the TV. It would be nice to add a page to the welcome book to ship packages to the main office suite # as that is what the office staff shared she recommended to vacation guests. Overall this place is a gem and I highly recommend for your little slice of heaven!

This was a great spot for our family trip. Not right on the beach, but perfect otherwise and we particularly chose it for the generous cancellation policy. The amenities were great—we lacked for nothing—and the host was super responsive! The small fitness center right nearby was not available to renters due to ?Covid. And the larger nice fitness center down the road required a $550 weekly membership to use. Would have liked to know this in advance.
