Good value for Mauna Lani

Nice condo in great location. Beach club access makes this a great option as beach club is nice with snorkeling right in the bay. 10 minute walk to beach for great sunsets and grocery store half mile away. Could use a few updates but price was great value for high season. Would definitely stay again. Owners communicated well and fast with us.

Rat feces on the bedding

There were rat feces on the bed pillows. The owner said it was from a gekco. He requested picture so I sent him a picture of the rat feces. Subsequently the owner never responded to my calls or emails. I stayed awake in chair and left the next day. The owner has refused to give a refund. VRBO has refunded their administrative fee but states only the owner can give a refund. Just a huge waste of time with moving and locating a new condo along with hours on the phone to VRBO.

Disappointing-see other reviews regarding owner refusals and condition of property

Tired, worn and desperately needs updating. Floors throughout the property were worn thru to bare wood. Carpet under dining table pilled and worn. Table chairs cushions broke down. See more below. I would probably have given this a better review had the owner been more empathetic, but he was not. This is an obvert money grab on his part. Worst customer service I have EVER received at a VRBO stay. NO GAS provided for gas grill and owner refused to provide. Beach chair broke and would not replace. The property description lists 4 chairs, there were 2 and 1 was broken. The owners response was no one else had complained about the chairs and just go to the Mauna Lani beach. I had to purchase my own. TV remote was not operable, and owner would not replace. Plan on buying your own dishwasher soap(1tab provided) Garbage bags(a few provided) Shampoo(2 shampoo and bars of soap provided-Motel 6 size). Toilet paper. When I inquired about this was told the are not a hotel. Ice dispenser inoperable. Tried to fix per owners noted left in unit but still inoperable. So a known problem they let linger. Stove: all heat temperature markings are rubbed off. Soap dispenser in bathroom is rusted. Washing Machine is MOLDY. STINKS. Lights burned out in laundry, kitchen stove and microwave. Stove fan runs but does not draw. Shower heads covered in hard water calcium deposits. Chipped bathtub in 2nd bath. NO headboards on beds. Mattresses just pushed up against the wall.

Condition of Property

The condo is located in a beautiful area. That is the only good thing about it. The furniture is worn out. The appliances have all control markings rubbed off. The wood floors have large areas of finish removed. Everything is at least 30 years old. The place needs a complete refurbishing.

Big Island resort vacation

Roomy townhouse with a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed breakfasting on the downstairs lanai and lounging in the evening on the upstairs one. Pool is close, private beach club access is a short drive. Our only 2 minor quibbles would be the ice maker not working well and we’d have liked a newer coffee machine. Like I said, minor quibbles. 10/10 we’d stay here again.

We had a great time but there were some snafus.

There was no propane for the BBQ and the property owner claimed it was clearly stated in the house instructions that propane was difficult to find and they didn't have anyone who could deliver it. This was not in fact clear other than stating where you can go to get it. We were expected to fill the tanks ourselves, which we ended up choosing not to do b/c the one place we went did not have any. Don't expect to use the gym as they only let 1 person in at a time and people sign up all through the week claiming most all times. It said condiments were provided but we ended up having to purchase all of them and stocked the fridge. They do have oils and some spices. The pictures show boogie boards, but those are not provided either.

We had a quick trip for a wedding celebration at the Fairmont Orchid. The condo was a perfect location for us to meet up with family and friends at the different beaches. Really enjoyed the 2 bikes in the garage. Kitchen well stocked. Only problem we had was the A/C - it just did not seem to be cooling our unit. Property manager very quick with a response.

Very bad experience

The physical unit was fine, and upon first glance it seemed clean other then the living room floor which had not been cleaned since the last guests and the bag of trash left on the landing up stairs. If this was all we experienced, we would not be writing about it. As we began settling in on the day of our arrival (4 pm check in; 5 night stay), we did see a pack of red pepper flakes that had been opened by an animal and animal dropping on the kitchen counter. We also saw an animal dropping in the master bathroom toilet area. A couple of hints that an animal (most likely a rat) had been in the unit at sometime. Then when going to bed later that night, we found dropping in both beds (master bedroom and second bedroom), on the floor near the beds in both rooms and more in the master bathroom. We wrote to the owners about the issue and asked if they had another property we could move into. Again, this was an issue we walked into, not a problem that developed after we had been staying at their property. We also reached out VRBO to whom we could send pictures. VRBO could not help because we could not send pictures of the ‘animal’. In the morning we saw that an animal had gotten into a sealed bag of fruit on the kitchen counter (all other food had been put into the refrigerator). Additionally more droppings were present in other rooms. Now we knew knew there was an active rat problem and could no longer safely stay here. The owner responded to our message by reporting that they had not had received reports of this issue from past renters or their housekeeper, and their unit was constantly occupied. They also stated that there was a rat and mongoose were a problem on the island and described the HOA’s pesticide program. They did nothing to help resolve the immediate problem we walked into at their property. Interpreting their message, it was our problem to deal with at their property. We checked out that morning, less than 24 hours from our arrival, and informed the owners. We requested a refund. We have not heard from the owners since and did not receive any type of compensation. To put this review into context, we have never had an experience like this before or another type of other rental issue in the past 10 years of renting individual properties. We did not take writing this review lightly.

Great location!

Overall we enjoyed our vacation and had a great time! -The condo was in an excellent location. We loved being on the ground unit. The grass area was a great place for our kids to play and unwind. - The pool was nicely maintained and we loved being able to walk to the shops close by. The beach club was also a huge plus! - The owner was very responsive when we couldn't get into the gym. He provided the code right away when I sent him a message. - The unit was supplied with plenty of towels/beach towels and the kitchen was well equipped. - The nest thermostat was locked at certain hours of the day. At night it was set to 78 degrees and we could not adjust this temperature. We traveled with our two young kids (9 months and 2.5 years) and it was very hot at night for all of us, and especially for our littles. - We were given specific instructions to take the trash out every day. Our stay was for 6 nights and we were only given three garbage bags. We had to go out and buy more garbage bags in order to comply with these instructions. - There were beach toys in the garage, however there were only 2 beach chairs (for 5 of us) and no umbrella. We went out to buy an umbrella to provide shade while at the beach.

Christmas vacation - family of four

The property was great. I love the location of Mauni Lani and the Fairways community was very nice. The unit was clean, well taken care of and comfortable for a family of four (with two tween/teen kids). There’s a nice grassy area right out the back which was great for the kids to get outside at the end of the day and it’s an easy walk to the pool. The grill needs to be maintained more often (by cleaning staff, not just guests scrapping down grill trays) but when we ran into an issue the host was extremely responsive and helpful. They could use some new boggie boards and snorkel equipment. They were fine for playing around in the water but if you really wanted to use them you would need to rent equipment. Overall I would stay here again and was happy with our stay. Thank you.

The location of being quiet and tucked away was nice. The size of the unit was great. However, many small things were broken and there were labels over everything to encourage not breaking additional items. Adjusting the nest was a constant battle and the beds were uncomfortable for all of us.

Lanai Happiness

My wife and I loved watching the sunrise while enjoying our morning coffee on the master lanai located upstairs. The property faced the interior garden area of the Fairways which offered views of palm trees, plants and song birds. The kitchen is very well equipped from an appliance, dishes and cookware perspective. The only thing we could recommend is increasing the quantity of dishwasher soap and garbage bags. The provided supply was very limited and should not require guests to purchase additional for short term rental. The only compliant we had was getting access to the fitness center. The HOA had recently added an electronic look to the fitness door and access was only granted through a code sent to the owners. We could not get code access from the office personnel since they had limited hours of availability. The hosts were enjoyable to work with and were very accommodating when we had to change dates due to flight cancellations.

Everything we hoped for!

The condo was a perfect fit for our active family of four. The beach club, where there was a great swimming & snorkeling for kids and adults, was an easy 5 minute drive from the condo. We liked to park there for a sunset stroll along the coastal trail past the fishponds to the Mauna Lani for drinks and ice creams - just magical! Additionally, there are so many other amazing beaches within 10-15 minutes of the condo. It made a great base for exploring the northern Kohala area and even the wet side of the island down to Hilo. The condo itself is thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed, from kitchen tools to boogie boards. It was also much more spacious than the photos suggest. Our kids shared the master suite and loved having their own beds. The shared pool and hot tub were an added bonus. I could go on. So glad we booked this condo for our vacation!
