Our family, 5 adults &1 child stayed at the property in Oct '23-loved everything about it! Communication with owner was great before and during our visit. The neighborhood was beautiful, clean and quiet. Home was spacious, very clean, beautifully decorated, and provided so many little things which made our stay comfortable. Highly recommend reading the Welcome Booklet when you arrive as it will answer many of your questions and let you know of important rules for the neighborhood. They also provide great information for the area.
We had planned to eat in often and decided to use Instacart to order groceries ahead of time from Costco & Target. They were delivered a few hours after we arrived, which was so nice as we had a long day of travel. Recommend preparing your order a few days ahead so you have time to make changes. Also, you'll want to check with the owner about which gate code to give the delivery person. Nearby there is a very nice Foodland grocery store which had the extra things that we needed later.
The private beach at the Mauna Lani Beach Club was excellent! We traveled around the island and our family thought the private beach was the best of them all. It was quiet, clean, plenty of shade and chairs with calm waters which was great for our preschooler. But the best part was the snorkeling! We saw more sea life there than on any other beach!!
Overall, we can highly recommend this property. If we every make it back to the Big Island, we'll be using it again!
