"We had such a relaxing and recharging vacation at this home. Loved the pod style, it worked so well for our older teen boys. Kitchen was really well stocked to cook for 8 guests. The golf cart was such a bonus and was well used! We loved the neighborhood and use of the private clubs and beach. Make sure guests know about the access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club! It was beautiful there."

"An absolute wonderful house for a family vacation. House is equipped with everything you need, location couldn't be better with access to Mauna Lani beach club, close to restaurants, shops. Our family really enjoyed the use of golf cart that came with house- very handy running to grocery store close by. Morning coffee in the beautiful patio over looking golf course- paradise!! Definitely would stay there again! No one wanted to leave."
