Mauna Kea Sunsets
Perched within the gated Kumulani community at Mauna Kea Resort, this upper-level retreat captures sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Hapuna Golf Course, and the majestic Kohala Mountains. Golden sunsets paint the sky each evening, best enjoyed from the expansive covered lanai that seamlessly connects to the open living and dining areas. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and style, the home features two private primary suites with en-suite baths, a bright and airy great room with UltraHD TV, and a fully equipped kitchen ideal for preparing island-inspired meals. High-end linens, spa-quality bath amenities, and carefully curated furnishings create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that feels effortlessly luxurious. Days unfold with ease, whether lounging by the nearby community lap pool, exploring the resort’s renowned white-sand beaches, or discovering the natural wonders of the Big Island. A generous collection of beach equipment—chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, boogie boards, coolers, and more—makes seaside adventures simple and memorable. Families will appreciate the thoughtful touches for little ones, while couples and friends will value the privacy and tranquility this exceptional setting provides.

Location
Inside the destination
Neighborhood: Mauna Kea Resort - Mauna Kea Sunsets at the Mauna Kea Resort Kumulani complex has stunning views of golf, ocean and mountains (these condos are known for being one of the only communities on the Kohala Coast to have sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean). The lanai features lounge chairs and overlooks the 4th hole of the world-famous Hapuna Beach Golf course (one of the best in Hawaii). The glass railings ensure you have the largest ocean and golf views possible. - A short drive away are six of the most spectacular beaches in Hawaii, including Black Sand Beach, Private Beach 69, and of course, two of the best beaches in Hawaii right on the resort: Hapuna Beach and the breathtaking Mauna Kea Beach. - The Kohala coast is a golfer's paradise with seven challenging courses all within seven miles of our villa. - Within 10-minute drive are three high-end shopping complexes, Queens Shops at Waikoloa, Kings Shops and the Shops at Mauna Lani where you can find supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants, clothing and accessory stores, art, and free weekly entertainment in the evenings. 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 a beach in 15 minutes or 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.
Parking information
- Parking available. - All beaches in Hawaii are public with some parking options nearby. - Abundant parking is available at Hapuna Beach State Park on the south end. There is limited free public parking at Mauna Kea Beach so it’s good to plan to arrive early for a fun day.

Jessica
The property was clean, modern and had all the amenities we needed. The snorkel gear and bogie boards were also really nice to have. We will plan to stay here again on our next visit to the island. Also, coordination to access the hotels was a breeze and such a terrific option- would highly recommend.
