If you're after a closer look there are numerous companies that can take you out on the ocean for a birds-eye view of these beautiful endangered creatures.

Whether you want to zip line through the rainforest, snorkel with the Manta rays, hike to see the world's longest most active volcano, view snow atop Mauna Kea's 13,900ft peek as you walk along some of Hawaii's most beautiful beaches, or just read a book while catching up on much-needed R&R listening to the waves crash on the shore the Big Island of Hawaii has it all.

Very close (one block) are the Shops at Mauna Lani complete with a grocery store and numerous restaurants and shops. Our home in Hawaii is our second home.

A slice of paradise!!

We had the most incredible stay at Laura’s house in Hawaii — it was everything we hoped for and more! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views, peaceful atmosphere, and thoughtful touches throughout the home.The house itself is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and perfectly equipped with everything you could need for a relaxing island getaway. We especially loved starting our mornings with coffee on the lanai, soaking in the pool or hot tub and listening to the birds. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals at home, and the beds were super comfortable after long days of exploring.Laura was a fantastic host — kind, responsive, and clearly passionate about making sure her guests have an unforgettable experience. Her local tips helped us find some hidden gems we wouldn’t have discovered otherwise.This home truly felt like a private retreat — peaceful, welcoming, and filled with aloha spirit. We can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a special place to stay in Hawaii!

Beautiful house ! From the moment we all walked in we felt relaxed, like being at home. The property exactly as described, maybe better. Well stocked with family games and beach needs. We enjoyed the access to the beach club, great for kids and adults to snorkel, also great food. Easy check in process and very detailed book for guests. There was 6 adults and 2 toddlers, perfect for all of us. Loved the outdoor shower in the master bedroom !!!

This was our second time staying in this lovely well stocked home. Close to beach, stores and restaurants the location is perfect! The house has everything you need for a fun vacation. The beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards were great to have for our days at the beach. The pool area and lanai were private and well maintained. The outdoor shower was loved by all! We really felt at home. Thank you for a memorable family vacation!

Perfect house for grandparents and kids!

The house was much bigger than we had expected based on the listing. It had absolutely everything that we could have needed for our vacation and more. The beach club was perfect for swimming, snorkeling and lounging. The back patio door which opened completely to create a seemless indoor/outdoor space to enjoy the beautiful weather and read while the kids played in the pool was great. Finally, the master bedroom suite with huge bathroom, bathtub, 2 indoor showers, and an outdoor shower was complete luxury. Thanks for a wonderful Hawaii experience.

Perfection

Our family of 6 spent a glorious week over Winter Break in this home. It was perfection. We were afforded every amenity you could think of under the sun. We enjoyed and took full use of the bikes, umbrellas, beach chairs and towels, goggles and fins, cooking supplies, and even the robust supply of games playing Catan every night. We did yoga poolside, went on runs, and cooked meals on the outdoor grill. The location was unparalleled, right next to the wonderful market where we bought our fresh poke and fish, and within biking and driving distance and access to the amazing beaches including the black sand beach. We felt like we were locals. We hope to be back again soon. Thank you for a week to remember.

Great Hawaii vacation spot

We had a great stay here. There were 8 of us total (3 adults, 5 kids aged 5-11) for 6 nights. The space was great. Large bedrooms, nice bathrooms. The kitchen was expansive and open to a large living room, which was great for family interactions. We cooked most of our meals at the property. The pool was just outside the back patio and was a great asset. All the extra equipment in the garage (beach toys, snorkel gear, boogie boards) really enhanced our trip experience. Kathi, the property manager, was very responsive throughout.

Perfect stay

We had an exceptional stay at Laura’s home. It was really perfect for all our needs and we’ve stayed in MANY vacation rentals. • She was a very responsive, flexible and kind host, and the house was immaculate. • They have everything you could need for a stay, especially for kids: o Kids sand toys, children’s books, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, bikes, fish ID books, etc. • It’s insanely convenient for anything else you could need. Snorkeling Bob’s is around the corner for additional snorkel rentals, and Foodland Farms next door has a great selection of groceries, produce and fish. • The beach club is a total gem, and you can also easily swing by the Mauna Lani for breakfast or dinner with free parking with validation. Close to some other stellar beaches as well like Hapuna and Mauna Kea (recommend the hike between these beaches). • The lanai faces the afternoon sun and sunset which makes for glorious afternoons at the house and grilling fish. • Wifi was great. • Top notch delonghi espresso machine. • Outdoor shower is awesome.

Great house, great host

Laura was a great host and this is a great property located in the Mauna Lanai community on the Big Island. Because of a flight delay, we missed our first night. Laura was great in working with us to stay an extra night. First trip to the Big Island and had an excellent time. House - Nice house within gated community. Stocked with everything you could need and then some. Rooms were nicely appointed. Very clean. Pool and hot tub were great. Perfect for family or couples. Very quiet. Location - the gated community is walkable and there is a small shopping area about half mile or less away. It has a small grocery store (def recommend stopping at Costco by the airport), a couple of restaurants and some shops. Looks like some stuff closed down, maybe because of Covid. The Mauna Lani beach is very nice and relatively quiet. It’s about a mile. A little more than you’d want to walk with beach gear. Would have been nice to have access to bikes or golf cart but did have access to private parking at the beach. We had 3 teenage girls with us who preferred to go to Kona where there are more teenagers. But Mauna Lani is best if you want a slower experience. All and all a great place and would highly recommend.

We stayed at Laura's beautiful Mauna Lani home for an extended vacation on the Big Island and enjoyed every moment of the visit. The home and property are just perfect. Beautifully maintained, exceptionally well-equipped (seriously, among the best we've ever seen), the location up north on the coast was great for us, the amenities and access to the beach club was a nice bonus, and the checkin process and communication was top-notch throughout. We had no problems whatsoever the entire visit, and would gladly stay in Laura's home again on our next return to the Big Island.

We had an excellent time at this home. The Mauna Lani beach club is a great place to snorkel and walk an ocean front path. The house is well stocked with plenty of towels, bedding, pool and beach toys. The kitchen was perfect with high end appliances and everything you could need. The outdoor area is private, comfortable and peaceful. There was plenty of room for our group to be together as well as spread out. My only critique would be of the wi-fi being very slow.

Inquire about AC

Overall, the house and layout were great. Our only complaint is that we were informed a few days before our rental period began, which was over Christmas, that one of the AC units was not working, but that they were supposed to have fixed either before we got there or shortly afterward. After talking to to the property manager, she let me know that the AC unit had not been working since July and doubted it would be fixed. The owner did offer for us to cancel the remaining nights and issue a refund, but the reality was there were no similar rentals on such short notice during Christmas. Some people might prefer AC, so if that is the case definitley inquire to make sure it is fixed.
