* Beautiful Wai'ula'ula Condo at Mauna Kea * Home Away From Home

Welcome to Wai‘ula‘ula at Mauna Kea---a private, gated community on the Hapuna Golf Course.

Relax in our 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2,100 sqft. condominium and enjoy the many upgrades we’ve added to our home, including hardwood floors, new bedroom carpeting, an updated outdoor kitchen, and more.

As original owners, we selected our 1st floor condo during Wai’ula’ula’s pre-build phase for its 650 sqft. wrap-around lanai, its preferred orientation during Kohala’s windiest days, and its proximity to the community’s recreation center. Our lanai’s northwestern exposure offers views of the ocean, the Kohala coast and, on clear days, the magnificence of Maui’s Haleakala across the channel.

We’ve spared little expense furnishing our home for family and friends, and trust that it will offer you the warmest aloha during your stay on the Big Island. Our unit offers: kitchen bar stools; an indoor dining table; two master suites with king size beds, dual sink bathrooms with a tub and walk-in shower; internet access; multiple 60”+ web-based HDTVs; Polynesian-inspired furnishings, a third bedroom with twin beds and a futon; a Bluetooth sound bar; two Tropitone outdoor tables/chairs on our lanai; an outdoor kitchen with sink, six-burner Weber Summit grill and refrigerator; and finally a wide variety of pool/beach extras, including towels, toys, and boogie boards, etc. We also ensure that our kitchen and laundry are equipped with virtually every necessity to accommodate you during your stay.

As one of the closest units to the community recreation center, you are steps away from a saline infinity pool, hot tub, outdoor showers, indoor lounge with HDTV, BBQ pavilion, toddler’s pool and fitness center. You’re also just a short drive from two of Hawaii's most beautiful white sand beaches at the Hapuna Prince and Mauna Kea resorts.

Should you wish to participate in the resorts’ (Mauna Kea and Hapuna Prince) Amenity Package, a nominal activation & card fee offers you charging privileges, as well as access to each resort’s fitness center, pool, beach towels, chaises and umbrellas. This Amenity Package also includes preferential resort parking. The 2023 fee per household is $165 per day for the entire length of stay.

Days pass quickly with: sunrise and Kona coffee; a workout at the gym; a jog to either of the resorts; aerobic/yoga classes; breakfast on our griddle; paddle boarding; snorkeling; swimming; boogie boarding; golf; tennis; lounging on the beach; lunch at Mauna Kea’s Hau Tree beach restaurant; reading on our lanai; exploring the island; drinks, music, and sunsets at Mauna Kea’s Copper Terrace; grilling on our BBQ; dinner on our lanai; a movie on our 65” HDTV; and star gazing into an amazing night sky.

Should you have an interest in our home, we would enjoy setting the stage for you to build your own lasting memories with family and friends at the Mauna Kea!

Another perfect vacation to Wai’ula’ula
This was our second stay at this property. We are a family of 6 and had my parents join us. This property is perfect for our needs. Had everything and more we could want and is wonderfully maintained. Kitchen well stocked, plenty of towels, and a pack and play for our toddler. The owners were super responsive and when we did have one small issue, the property manager was prompt to respond and made himself available in no time. We absolutely love this location and the amenities and our favorite part is taking advantage of the hotels nearby. We get to enjoy the beaches, beautiful pool but also have plenty of space to relax. Thank you again for another memorable trip to the Big Island, we cannot wait to return once more!

Spacious condo, beautiful area, great beach access!
We spent a week at Erika's condo on the Big Island in early April. Great access to Mauna Kea and Hapuna resorts (we got the package allowing full access) and beaches! Tons of space in the condo for our family of 4. Easy drive to a few towns, many restaurants, and grocery store...all with 20 mins.

Amazing Stay!
We loved staying at this property. It's conveniently located across from the Mauna Kea and Hapuna properties. We went to the Mauna Kea daily and loved it. We've stayed in this development before and were familiar with the layout. This property was decorated very nicely and located right by the communal pool/gym. The decor was great and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. Lots of utensils, wine glasses, etc. Erica and the property manager were in contact if we needed it, but we only had a few questions otherwise all the information given prior to arrival was easy to follow. We were traveling with a family of five including three teens kids. Two other families that had nearby properties which made it super fun for the teens and parents to hang out. Highly recommend would definitely stay again!

Wonderful!
My family just returned from our 8 night stay in beautiful Hawaii. Our family of 6, including our 3 kids and my Mom, had the perfect amount of space. We loved the layout and the outdoor grill and patio. The beds are so comfortable I actually slept well on vacation, which is not easy for me! Erika was a dream to work with, so flexible, responsive and helpful. She gave me lots of great tips for enjoying the island with kids and is just a really kind person. We also had a great experience with her house manager who was also very responsive and helpful. We loved having access to the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, it is a 5 minute drive with parking included in the Amenity Package. It was very busy over Spring Break! We have been to the hotel many times over the years and it was the busiest we have ever seen it, but I guess everyone else was looking for sun like us! I highly recommend this beautiful place to call home while you visit the Big Island!

Our family had the best time visiting Hawaii and staying at this beautiful villa. Centrally located between the two resorts, it was the perfect distance away to enjoy two incredible beaches on the Big Island! Our kids enjoyed the open floor plan - and the house was equipped with everything we needed. We will definitely return!

Wonderful home!!!
We were so thankful for the opportunity to stay in this home. It was incredibly large and comfortable and had ample room for us to spread out, as a family with 3 little kiddos. We were able to use both the Mauna Kea and Hapuna properties and we absolutely loved how easy and convient they both were. We also used the condo facilities which were gorgeous one day and wished we had more time to spend there! The homeowner was wonderful to work with and her on-island manager was kind and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again and would strongly recommend to anyone staying in this area!

Another trip to paradise!
We just returned from nearly a two week stay at this property. We have visited Wai'ula'ula several times and this time was once again exceptional. This property was well maintained. We loved the updated hardwood floors. The large sofas were extremely comfortable and clean and were perfect for our large group. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and more. Our kids loved the boogie boards and floats that were available to use. We chose a ground floor unit because we were traveling with a toddler and it worked out great! Erika was a joy to work with and quick to respond to any questions. We love the ability to use the amenity package and access the two hotels, pools, restaurants, etc. and we hope to return again (sooner than later)!

Beautiful home in a great location.
TLDR: We would stay here again. Repeating the title, this is a beautiful home. It's situated on the hillside overlooking the ocean in a development with an adjoining golf course. With the patio door that spans about 15 feet, you can really open the house up to cool breezes and the sound of palm leaves rustling. Who knew that palm leaves in the breeze sounded like a soft summer rain? Maybe you did. From here, it's easy to make a trip up to Hawi, over to Weimea or down to Kona. We took a day trip through Waikoloa Village, over the saddle road to Hilo and Pahoa, returning via Honokaa and Waimea making sure to stop at the Waipio Valley overlook. On the way back down from Waimea, the sun was setting over the ocean and we got back in time to make supper and enjoy the evening breezes. On the days we didn't want to go anywhere special, we could drive down to Hapuna Beach. It's all sand, in the area we frequented, and I was able to use one of the boogie-boards available here to have some fun in the waves. There are connected TV's in the living room and all the bedrooms. If you tire of the pleasant evening or you're really hooked on a show, you can stream on most of the TV's. There is an amenity center just up the hill from here. We hear it has a pool and exercise equipment, but we haven't viewed it.
