Set against sweeping golf course views in the prestigious Mauna Lani Resort, this beautifully renovated single-level, three-bedroom villa offers an elegant setting for an unforgettable Big Island escape.

Accommodating up to eight, the home features two king suites, a flexible third bedroom with two Twin XL beds that can convert to a king, and a luxurious queen sleeper sofa. Thoughtful amenities make every day in paradise effortless, from fast WiFi and a reverse osmosis water purification system to bikes for adults and children, a ping pong table, and an impressive collection of beach gear. Luxurious bedding, plush mattresses, a well-equipped kitchen, and family-friendly essentials add comfort throughout, while beach chairs, snorkel sets, boogie boards, coolers, and sand toys make it easy to enjoy the Kohala Coast. Whether dining al fresco, cycling through Mauna Lani, or unwinding after a sun-filled day, this refined island retreat blends comfort, convenience, and relaxed Hawaiian luxury.

KEY Curation Notes

All three bedrooms feature private en-suite bathrooms, with the primary offering a spa-inspired soaker tub and the other two opening to a shared garden courtyard and private lanai, respectively. A new Restoration Hardware queen sleeper sofa in the great room provides flexible extra sleeping.

Free access to Mauna Lani's Private Beach Club puts world-class snorkeling in calm waters within minutes, while the KaMilo recreation complex—two pools, two spas, and a fitness center—sits just steps from the home.

The kitchen is provisioned with Kona coffee, specialty oils, spices, and pantry essentials, and a high-end propane BBQ on the covered lanai overlooks the Mauna Lani golf course from the 11th-green vantage point. A full beach collection lives in the garage—snorkel gear in multiple sizes, boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, life jackets, and a large wheeled cooler eliminate the need to rent.

Adult and kids bikes allow exploration of the Mauna Lani grounds, while the freshly remodeled interiors showcase Restoration Hardware furnishings throughout. The garage houses a ping pong table, and in-home laundry adds practical convenience.

Updated reverse osmosis water purification system and fast WiFi coverage support both relaxation and connectivity during your stay.

Location

Inside the destination

Neighborhood: KaMilo - The Dancing Honu Villa is within the Mauna Lani resort, close to both Auberge and Fairmont Hotels. - The Napua Restaurant is just two miles away. The Kohala Coast is a golfer's paradise with seven challenging courses all within seven miles of our villa. - A short drive away are six of the most spectacular beaches in Hawaii, including Beach 69, Hapuna Beach, and the breathtaking Mauna Kea Beach. - Minutes down the street is the Shops at Mauna Lani, where you can find a supermarket, coffee shops, restaurants, clothing and accessory stores, art, and free weekly entertainment in the evenings. There are three wonderful shopping areas in the resorts: Shops at Mauna Lani, King Shops, and Queen's Shops. They include groceries, restaurants, and retail stores. They are within walking or biking distance from most of our vacation homes. - The resorts were designed to avoid overcrowding the beaches with condo towers and other developments. The gated communities are all set back from the beaches a bit to make sure the beach experience is amazing. From many of the homes, you can walk to the beach in 15 minutes or take a bike ride. - The Kilauea volcano is 90 miles away behind two 13,000-foot mountains and has been very quiet for the last year. Even during the eruption event in 2018, it did not affect our side of the Island. The National Park is open, and it is fascinating to explore, go for a hike, or take an aerial tour. It is part of what makes the Big Island unique and should not be missed. - The Kona (KOA) airport is the closest to the resorts. It is a 25-35 min drive to the vacation rentals. It is an international airport with direct flights from LA, SF, San Diego, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Dallas, Phoenix, San Jose, Oakland, Anchorage, Vancouver, and Tokyo. There are also direct flights to Oahu, Kauai, and Maui.
