We came to Hawaii with a couple of friends. I love the location. The house was great. I felt like the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The only thing that was awful is the shower on the main floor—AWFUL. It just needs a new shower head, easy fix. And I agree with the other reviews, it would be nice to have some better chairs and working umbrella. Overall, it was a great place. Loved it!!

Home is great. Just as advertised. Wonderful, natural light, private, spacious and well-equipped. Close to amenities and other resources in Mauna Lani. Property is a bit removed from other areas, but that seems to be the case across many parts of the island, so be prepared to spend time nearby or to drive a bit. Nearby restaurants and grocery options can be relatively pricey, but again that was the case nearly everywhere we went on the island.

We loved this house! We are a family of 5 adults and one 5 year old. The house was just like the pictures and more. Plenty of space and outside bbq set up was perfect! The pool was so nice and never crowded like resorts. Plenty of spices and kitchen pots, dishes, etc…. We love this area and with food land market down the road is so convenient, everything from fresh fruits and veggies to great selection of wine and cheese! Will definitely be back! Forgot to mention the private beach is amazing!

We have rented many properties at Mauna Lani, our second time at Palm Villas. We would happily return to this unit. Things to be aware of: 1. Weak WiFi. Would not recommend this unit if you are planning to work remotely. Our cell service was also weak. 2. As other guests have commented, no comfortable beach chairs (backpack style) or beach umbrellas are provided. Not an issue if you only visit the beach club, as lounge chairs are usually available. I hope the owners will consider purchasing these items! A beach wagon would also be nice, since the beach is within walking distance but too far for me to haul beach gear. We liked being able to walk to the beach. With only one vehicle, it allowed our family to do different activities. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this unit. Pictures are accurate.

We had a great time at Palm Villas H1. This is the biggest unit in which we have stayed at the Mauna Lani Resort: 3 full bedrooms and a loft. The owners created a beautiful oasis with lovely furnishings and a well stocked kitchen. The location on the west side of the Palm Villas means both sunset and peek-a-boo ocean views, as well as lava tubes in the historic preserve. We love the proximity to Foodland and the close walking distance to the beach. Note that the beach supplies were fewer than at other condos at which we have stayed, so bring your own snorkel gear or get some here. The beach chairs were not great, and there wasn’t a beach umbrella among the supplies. This was not a problem for us because we spent all of our beach time at the Mauna Lani Beach Club where chairs and cabanas are provided. All in all we would love to come back to H1. We found the property manager to be very responsive and accommodating, and we appreciated the concierge-level outreach both before and during our stay. Great customer service, Kona Coast Vacations!

As pretty as the pictures. Great location and stocked with all the essentials needed for a great stay.
