LOCATION AND EXCLUSIVITY:

* Palm Villas unit D22 is within a privately gated, small group of 44 condominium homes - perfectly and centrally located in the heart of the exclusive Mauna Lani Resort. The Palm Villas are tucked away between the 18th Fairway of the North Golf Course, the Historical Preservation Area, and the Mauna Lani Spa and Fitness Center. We have our own private waterfall pool, hot tub and fitness center, seconds from your doorstep, set among luscious tropical landscaping. And, you will have access to the pampering Mauna Lani Spa (across the driveway) with its fitness center, paddle ball & tennis courts, lap pool, steam and sauna rooms and, of course, massages.

* You are within half a mile drive to the west or a short 12 minute, leisurely walk through the fascinating royal fish lagoons and lava tubes in the Historic Preserve leading to the FANTASTIC private beaches and your Mauna Lani Beach Club. There you can enjoy lunch, snacks and drinks while lying in the provided, chaise lounge beach chairs. Or just enjoy the fabulous snorkeling, white sand beach, and calm waves. And you can enjoy watching the whales in season, or the large sea turtles coming ashore to bask in the same sun you are enjoying.

* A short distance from the Beach Club, you could reach two world class resort hotels anchored by the Auberge Resort & the Fairmont Orchid, offering 14 separate restaurants, 3 pristine private beaches, miles of walking and jogging paths, 2 world renowned golf courses, sunset cruises, fishing, whale watching, scuba, and just about the best snorkeling in all of Hawaii.

* Or a short walk from the condo in a different direction would take you to the brand new shopping complex containing the Tommy Bahamas store and restaurant, Ruth Chris Steak House, Farmland Grocery store, Mauna Lani Coffee Company, and a wide variety of other boutiques, galleries, ice-cream shop. And this island is the home of Kona coffee!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was quiet, clean, and spacious enough for five people. Whenever we had an issue-like running out of toilet paper or trouble with the TV-the response was very quick and helpful, which we really appreciated.Access to the Beach Club by car was convenient, and we also enjoyed having lunch at the restaurant there.One small thing to note is that the kitchen knives were not very sharp, and although there were plenty of towels, they still had a bid of an odor even after washing.Overall, though, we had a great stay and would definitely like to return in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Sharing the fresh and delicious island food as a family is particularly important to us, so we really appreciated the BBQ on the lanai and spacious dining areas. Great location and amenities, and excellent communication with the host. We would definitely return.

Our stay at Jefferson's home in Mauna Lani was amazing. The unit was clean and spacious, well stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds. The separated master and secondary bedroom "wings" was perfect for two couples to have their own quarters. The lanai was comfortable and a great place to relax after a day of exploring.We will look into staying here again on a Kona visit. The value was great. Thanks!

We loved staying at this property! The pool on site is gorgeous, though be warned it is very cold, which can be a deterrent to use. There is also a hottub by the pool, heated after 12pm, which frequently was in use by others as well given the cold pool. The walk to the beach club is wonderful, as was the wagon, toys, etc. The complex itself is not particularly kid friendly; we heard some other families receive feedback at the pool to quiet down. I would also be aware that this is an upstairs unit if traveling with toddlers or young kids as we learned during our stay that their footsteps generate more noise than that of adults. That being said, the beach was phenomenal and full of other friendly families! The restaurant at the beach is also fabulous. We had lunch there many days. We loved the washer/dryer, and the unit housed us perfectly. The grill and outdoor lanai setup worked well for the rare nights we cooked, and the nearby shopping center grocery (long walk or short drive) was excellent for quick meals. Unit was clean, showers were great, beds were comfortable, and the sunset view was gorgeous. Highly recommend!

Walking distance to Shops at Mauna Lani (Foodland, Island Coffee, Tommy Bahamas Restaurant.) Across from Mauna Lani Sports and Fitness Center.

Jefferson’s place was everything we were looking for on the Big Island. It was especially helpful that a crib, high chair, and beach wagon was all included - made it so much easier given we were traveling with young kids! The location couldn’t be better. We walked to the beach every day!

We had a lot of fun visiting the beautiful island. Jefferson was very helpful and made our stay very welcoming. Our family did many things and the property was beautiful and relaxing. We made new memories and had a great time exploring the many places the island has to offer. I would definitely go again.

This condo was perfect for our family of four! The location is great with a grocery store, restaurants, walking trail and beach all within walking distance. The condo is fully stocked with everything you need, from the kitchen to the beach equipment, it's all there! We will definitely stay here again!

Quiet location, clean. Could use updating interior re: color scheme....colors are from 20 years ago. Brighter paint and fabrics would lighten the entire interior. Only 1 broken beach chair, but a variety of beach items were available for use which was very nice.

We loved our stay. The unit was well appointed and very clean. We enjoyed dining on the lanai and the kitchen was well equipped and stocked with all the basics we needed - it was so handy that the toaster oven had an air fryer feature ;). The storage containers and cold pack came in handy for beach days. The bed was so comfy we slept well every night. The Mauna Lani beach club was a wonderful perk that I wish we had taken more advantage of. Something to look forward to on future trips.

We were 3 adults with 2 children. This place was fine for us, and the location is walkable to grocery stores, snorkel beaches, and convenient to the rest of the Kohala Coast. 30 minutes to Kailua-Kona, about an hour to Captain Cook's and City of refuge. All in all, we would certainly recommend this place to anyone, with or without children.
