Mauna Kea South Fairways 4 BR -4.5 Bath 180 Ocean Views & Private Pool, Sleeps 8

This property did not meet expectations based on the listing photos. The home is heavily worn, with uncomfortable couches, broken poolside furniture, and very poor mattress quality—one bed had a large sinkhole with mattress pads stacked on top. One bedroom near the garage had geckos present, and dishes in the cabinets were dirty and required washing before use. The house clearly needs significant updates and improved maintenance. You are paying for the location, not the quality of the accommodations.

We had an amazing two weeks at this property with both family and friends. Very comfortable, beds are great. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking. It is a great location within the Mauna Kea Resort and a very comfortable private location.

Lovely pool and views

We enjoyed our stay at this home. The location is prime for Mauna Kea beach and the Puako snorkeling area like beach 69. The pool was clean and refreshing. The house has a unique layout where all the bedrooms except the master are in a row like a motel which can be inconvenient for small children as I had the master bedroom with my husband and our children shared the room with two twins which is near the garage that is accessed from outside in the dark and the kids did not want to leave the room at night because of all the night critters. There is a pump or two of some kind that you can hear in the master bedroom that runs all night that would disturb a light sleeper. There are really no beach chairs or snorkel gear or beach umbrellas like all the other houses we stayed in on Hawai'i. I think it would be a great addition for them to provide these things at this price point. Over all its a great location with a nice pool and we had a fine time but for this price I would expect more amenities and polish. The host is quick to respond to questions.

We really enjoyed our time at this property. Beautiful gardens, fantastic view and the pool was great. Location!! The house could benefit from revised lighting and is due for updates to the bathrooms and kitchen, but these points did not negatively impact the enjoyment of our vacation. Super cool floor plan with private entrances to the suites made it feel like everyone had their own little cabana and each had its own AC unit and ceiling fan so everyone could adjust accordingly.Communication with Heidi was easy and prompt. we hope to return for another stay.

Back again, lovely well situated home, quiet and beautiful!

The house was perfect for our family. There was a lot of space for each of us to get enjoy time together and apart. We enjoyed the outside and pool the most. It was a little odd accessing the rooms from the outside breezeway but it ended up giving us each our own privacy.

All questions were answered promptly by the owner. The lot is beautiful....sunsets and full moon viewings were spectacular. Access to the Mauna Kea Resort was an added bonus, but a bit costly. Any issue we had was resolved by Heather. Previous reviews stated property decor a bit dated, so that was expected and not an issue for us. A very memorable vacation for our family!

This is a well-kept house is in a lovely gated golf course community. The layout is great, the furniture is solid, the kitchen has everything we needed to cook and BBQ. The bathrooms have lots of thick, high quality towels and there is a supply of beach towels for the pool. The local Manager is friendly and helpful and when we had a request he responded within minutes. Everything was clean and appealing. The one thing that needs updating is the entertainment system; the TV was so old that we were unable to hook up our computer to stream our Netflix etc on it.

Pool Time + Family Time = Great Time Fantastic week in a very quiet neighborhood. The house is amazing, albeit a bit dated in places. The pool is super clean and perfect for hours and hours of relaxation and some family fun time. Communication with this owner is superb. The channel selection (only one television, which is a plus) is more than adequate and wi-fi is strong enough to accommodate all our devices. Air conditioning works well when you are not opening up the house and enjoying the gentle breeze and smell of Hawaii. The house is designed so privacy is obtainable but also has spacious areas for family time. The pool and surrounding area are definitely the strong points of the house. The kitchen, maybe time for an upgrade, but certainly usable. I would not recommend getting the resort option package with the Mauna Kea Resort at $220.00/day. In the morning we got a parking pass from the very professional gate guards and was able to access the trail for a brisk morning walk and the beach. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to a family or multiple couples.
