Waimea, Hawaii
Experience island-style living infused with heightened luxury at this elegant 3-bedroom villa. Nohea at Mauna Lani is located in a lush corner of Big Island’s Kohala Coast, a diverse landscape overflowing with natural beauty and upscale living. You and your guests will enjoy a private retreat where stress and worries evaporate under the endless Hawaiian sun. Have your choice of the private pool at #18 or the large community pool and fitness center located within the gated community.
Discover a contemporary take on traditional island bungalows in a private, picturesque setting amid lush foliage and volcanic rock. The white sands of Kohala are only 5 minutes away, but you’ll be excused for never wanting to leave your property. Enter via a floating walkway that traverses the central courtyard’s serene Koi pond. The pool terrace out-zens any spa, with its designer sun loungers, gazebo, alfresco table and refreshing pool all at your disposal. Spend cool nights in the bubbling hot tub, gazing up to the stars.
Stunning woodwork infuses the home with Hawaii’s warm and welcoming spirit. An elegant coffered ceiling presides over the great room where the line between inside and outside is blurred by a retractable pocket glass wall. Modern rattan furnishings and numerous cultural artifacts further the traditional ambiance, and in the spacious kitchen, you’ll discover natural stone counters with professional appliances built in. Unwind on bright, upholstered sofas in the entertainment room, while a film plays on the advanced home theater system.
Your villa’s three bedrooms are tropical escapes unto themselves; each one is a full master suite. Two bedrooms reside in the main house, with the third found in a charming guest house. All three feature king beds adorned with designer linens, situated below vaulted ceilings embedded with fine wood. The two main house bedrooms hold spacious ensuites with exquisite tile work and smooth, granite deep-soak tubs.
You’ll find two beaches within 5 minutes of your villa, while one of Big Island’s best, Hapuna Beach, is only a 10 minute drive away. Both Nohea resort and the adjacent Mauna Lani resort feature upscale boutiques and fine dining. The Kohala coast has a diverse range of natural attractions ranging from whale watching and snorkeling, to rainforests and unique volcanic formations. It is well worth hiring a guide to explore the best spots.
The Beach Club at Mauna Lani is barely a ten minute walk, with a convenient parking lot for those who prefer to cruise. Outfitted with superb water sport activities like surfing, snorkeling, and boat excursions, the club also contains a full bar and restaurant right off the beach.
We had trouble finding the property. The neighborhood itself was pretty barren with nothing much around. Our directions led us to the gated community, but didn’t include the house number. We contacted the owner after driving around for awhile and were given the full address. There was quite a bit of construction happening all around the house, which we wished we had known before making the reservation. It was a bit noisy during the day. This property itself was beautiful. Beds were comfortable, ample a/c and fans, well appointed kitchen and laundry facilities. Lovely furniture and decorations. Bedding and towels and all the necessary amenities were included.The pool area was lovely, but the pool itself was full of bugs and plant matter for the first couple of days (my kids refused to get in). A pool cleaner was sent out, which was appreciated, but we weren’t given any notice and discovered someone there early in the morning while in our pajamas. All in all, we loved the house itself, but weren’t a fan of the location as there wasn’t much nearby.
Great house and great location
Very well equipped home with good privacy and great environment
property was just what we needed
We enjoyed this home immensely. It has everything you could ask for and more. Overall great home design, well appointed with all the amenities (my personal fav was the Meile coffee maker!) and beautiful art. Great kitchen for cooking in and enjoying the peaceful location, but also super close to the Mauni Lani Resort, Beach Club, and shopping. We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas as a family in this home-away-from-home. Thank you Barry for being so responsive and helpful! Hope to be back sooner than later and we would absolutely love to stay here again!
The property was absolutely perfect in all ways. The neighborhood is scarcely built out at the present time which adds to its seclusion and privacy. The house layout and accommodations are amazing. Kitchen incredibly well appointed with everything needs for a week stay...and much longer. The art work is simply amazing throughout the entire house.. We spent the majority of our 8 days on the island at or near the house so we truly loved it. The location is very central to just about everything in the Mauna Lani area. The pool is small but perfect for a small group, and especially for my wife and I. The property manager was helpful and not intrusive. We will definitely stay here again.
This home is lovely, beautifully decorated and well stocked, great location and so peaceful!
Well-appointed, beautiful home with a high level of attention to detail. High quality furniture in excellent shape, well-stocked kitchen, massive amount of art inside, which we would have enjoyed more except that we were drawn so highly to the pool patio as a place to hang out together. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
We stayed at the house with our three adult kids and had a great time. The place is beautifully furnished, the kitchen is large and has everything you need, the backyard is so relaxing, the beach is right nearby. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Barry!
We had a wonderful 9 days at this home. Perfectly located near all the great things that Mauna Lani area has to offer. Home was well appointed, very private setting, and exceptional service by the property manager. We will be back.
His is an absolutely gorgeous home, from the beautiful koi pond entrance to the interior. The furnishings are beautiful and there is far more artwork than we expected. We liked the layout with the bedrooms separate enough to insure privacy. It was very well stocked with kitchen and laundry supplies. The welcome gift from the owner was so nice and included some wonderful coffee beans. We highly recommend it to other families and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
