Please note we also have another great property at Waikoloa Beach Resort too!
Please check the VRBO link to that different property at the end of this description of Fairways at Mauna Lani 1001.
These 2 properties are excellent, each in their own way, just pick the one that fits you the best! :-)

Aloha and welcome to your home away from home in paradise!
Sea turtles; beautiful and romantic sunsets on this beautiful property, sweet scent of Plumeria in the air; beaches for every taste, mood and color and bountiful sunshine is awaiting you! :-)

We are very experienced vacation rental owners; hosting happy guests since 2012, who left more than 300 (and counting!) five-stars reviews in our other 3 VRBO listings- see About the host section for details and links.

This home has everything you need for your dream vacation: from very comfy beds to a fully equipped kitchen and a full set of beach gear and toys!

The difference here is in small details, such as premium location; comfortable beds in BOTH bedrooms; private shower in the master bathroom; no-stairs access to the ground floor; large, open, yet private lanai with pleasant breezes all day long and beautiful sunsets; painted in sunny colors bedrooms, kitchen and entrance area create happy feeling :-) ... and more!

Fairways at Mauna Lani is a luxury complex located on the sunny Kohala coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. Considered the sunniest spot in all of the Hawaiian Islands, the weather here is truly dreamy all year round!
This spacious property is a private gated community with meticulously manicured grounds, including a large swimming pool with a special shallow area for kids, a large hot tub, and a lava rock waterfall. As guests of the Mauna Lani resort, you will also have access to a fitness center and tennis courts. Fairways is within walking distance of restaurants and a gourmet market.

Once the playground of ancestral Hawaiian Royalty, the Mauna Lani resort is home to ancient Hawaiian fishponds, three miles of shoreline, petroglyphs, a green sea turtle nursery, two award-winning spas, and two top-rated golf courses. Whether you seek the thrill of water sports, wish to perfect your golf swing, explore nature and encounter endangered species, indulge in shopping for unique treasures, savor fresh island cuisine, or simply relax and unwind, everything you desire is right here!

Included a complimentary access (parking) to the Mauna Lani Beach Club, which offers a restaurant and a calm, semi-private beach. This is one of the best spots to snorkel on the island and is only a 5-minute drive from our home. A few minutes north, you'll find Hapuna Beach, one of the best beaches in Hawaii. Drive a little further north, and you'll find yourself in ranch country where you can go horseback riding or sign up for an ATV adventure. Joggers and walkers will enjoy winding through the resort and can choose from a variety of terrain, including a historic trail along the ocean. For those craving adventure, why not stargaze near the observatories at the summit of Mauna Kea or marvel at the power of an erupting volcano.

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom (full), two-level home is situated in one of the best locations: you can enjoy the ocean breeze in the morning and afternoon, as well as beautiful sunsets, all from your lanai.

Enjoy a spacious, (kid-friendly) grassy area your kids will love, far from the main road and away from busy traffic.

A vaulted ceiling in the living room creates an open, airy feel.
The layout of the home ensures your privacy, with the master bedroom located on the second floor and the other bedroom on the ground floor.

With the exception of the master bedroom, all other areas of the home are accessible to people with limited mobility. There are no stairs leading to the entrance; however, both the front and lanai doors have a 3-4 inch step.

Enjoy a whole assortment of beach gear: chairs, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, beach towels, cooler, and an umbrella.

BOTH bedrooms offer comfortable sleeping arrangements with high-quality mattresses and furniture. We've removed carpets from the bedrooms as they tend to accumulate dust. The only remaining carpet is on the stairs, which is there for your safety to prevent slips and falls.
Indulge in sweet dreams on the comfy king-size bed in the master bedroom.
The second bedroom features a new queen-size bed with a luxurious Beautyrest mattress and blackout shades on the windows for your complete privacy.
Additionally, a portable 'pack-n-play' baby crib is provided for your little one :-)

Enjoy a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, including a toaster, coffee grinder, blender, quality cookware, coffee makers (espresso and drip type), and upscale appliances.

New 60 Roku TV in the living room; 43 and 40 Roku TVs in both bedrooms; Spectrum cable TV app and many more free channels; watch Netflix, etc. using your account.

The master bedroom features an upper-level lanai.

In-suite laundry: washer and dryer ( A Free and Clear hypoallergenic detergent is provided ).

Check-in and out are very easy (and contactless!), no matter how late you arrive: the entrance door is equipped with a key-less lock (keypad) — enter the number combination that we'll provide, and that's it, you're in! No need to go to a second location to pick-up and drop-off a key.

The Fairmont Orchid hotel is only a 10-15 minute walk away, perfect for strolling around, using their beach and enjoying a meal. Additionally, a grocery store with a good selection is located within a 10-15 minute walking distance as well (or just a couple of minutes by car).

Parking is FREE. You will NOT need to pay any additional fees (such as resort fees, parking fees, etc.) upon arriving. You can park at any available parking space near the property; there are plenty of parking stalls around; 3 of them are right near the entrance to the home. Garage is very small (you could barely open door of your car once you are inside the garage), therefore it is impractical, so it will not be available for guests in order to avoid damage to your car and to the property.

Please note there is no source of carbon monoxide in this property: there are no gas or wood-burning appliances. Stove and water heater are electric. Smoke detectors are installed in this property.

As an alternative accommodation at Waikoloa Beach Resort (just a 10-minute drive from this place), please check out our upscale Kolea 15G condo located within walking distance to Anaehoʻomalu beach:

    Awesome place for my family of four, with two teenage boys. Plenty of space, amazing location, and the pool is better than other similar properties nearby. Beach club has long been a hit for us all. Highly recommend from people who have stayed at various places in the Mauna Lani complex over the years. Looking forward to returning!

    The townhouse was exactly as advertised. The home was lovely, spacious and perfect for our stay. We loved that there was a nice shopping center within walking distance with several great eateries, a grocery store and a few boutiques. The beach access that comes with the house was great as was the restaurant associated with the beach. What a treat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    This was a very beautiful and well maintained home in the very nice Mauna Lani area. We had a mix of sun and rain, and it was really nice to have a covered lanai to enjoy outdoor meals and grilling, regardless of rain. The kitchen is well appointed, and we cooked at home several nights. Beds are super comfortable. The view from the upstairs bedroom was beautiful. Quiet at night.The beach club access pass was really nice - one of the better beaches on the Big Island - and a short, ocean-front walk on a public path over to the Auberge Mauna Lani Hotel. We got to the beach club early to grab 2 covered lounge chairs and made a full day of it.We used the common areas less. The gym was small and you had to sign up for a time slot. My kids called the pool the “no fun pool” - beautiful but rules against no floaties, no balls/toys, etc. It was definitely geared toward adults enjoying the space, more so than kids. Still, we enjoyed the pool and hot tub.Dmitri was very communicative and responsive. Very easy check-in and check-out process. I forgot one of my bags and Dmitri assisted me with picking it up a couple days later (thank you!).Highly recommend.

    Wonderful week here. Beautiful condo with nice pool and hot tub. Unfortunately there was no snorkeling anywhere this week because of high seas conditions. But fortunately we timed seeing the volcanic eruption. Amazing. This area is pretty high end as restaurants were expensive but all were very good.

This unit is quiet, very well appointed, very well maintained and had all the amenities anyone needs. Beach chairs, umbrella, and access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club. Very comfortable bed (foam mattress I believe). View from the primary headroom was fantastic. Lots of sun and palm trees swaying. If staying on the Big Island, this place will not disappoint. Thanks for an absolutely perfect stay!

Having the washer and dryer was so convenient. Awesome beach gear to borrow. We ended up renting snorkel sets from Snorkel Bob’s nearby. Wonderful sunset views from lanai. SO quiet and peaceful. Easy to grill dinners at night on the outdoor BBQ. This was our first trip to Hawaii and we will definitely be back.

    The condo is compact but well laid out with a spacious master bedroom, king size bed and bath on the upper levels. Sunset viewing from the upper balcony was lovely. The lower level bedroom has a smaller bed. The beds were comfortable and the furniture in the living room appears to be new or nearly new. The kitchen was well stocked. We had thought that the garage was available with the unit but was not. However, on-street parking is unassigned and you may need to park quite a ways from the unit. There are three parking places close to the entry and we were able to get one of these most of the time. One of our party is disabled and we had rented a power mobility chair which had to be parked in the front entry alcove since the garage was not available. Luckily there is an outlet in the front entry and we were able to plug in the chair battery in the front entry. We had fun walking/rolling to the Fairmont Orchid for breakfast several times and to the petroglyph beach park for sunset. The pool is a short distance from most of the units in this development but does not have easy handicap access into the water. The condo entry is at ground level with only a couple of inches difference between the inside and outside levels. We did not bring the power chair into the unit but it would be possible to enter with a walker or wheel chair with assistance. All in all we very much enjoyed our stay.

Newly renovated, well organized and fully stocked. Cooking supplies included oil, soy sauce, spices, sugar, etc. The beds were excellent. Furniture was comfortable.The beach gear was a great feature with chairs, umbrella all in good condition.

    The condo had everything needed for a great vacation. Quiet and felt private, beds super comfy, very spacious and everything felt brand new and sparkling clean. Would be perfect for two couples. Did not use the pool but it looked nice. Gated complex was immaculately maintained and close to great beaches. Management super responsive... grill was out of propane and they arrived to fill it in 5 minutes. Lovely sitting outdoors with the gentle breeze-- from upper lanai you could see sunset ever better. Would not hesitate to recommend.
