Book a hotel near Hāpuna Beach State Recreation Area, Kamuela

"We have stayed in many places around Hawaii, and this location quickly rose to the top spot. The views are specatcular, the rooms spacious and service is top notch all around. Loved the prearranged airport transportation and the ability to rent a Tesla for the day....right from the resort. "

"This is a classic beach home. Great views and a short walk to the beach 69 or a 5 minute drive to Hapuna beach. Property is not brand new but we loved the character. It was perfect for our 15 day stay. We will rent this again in the future."

"This property was simply amazing. We are last minute planners and booked this about 2 weeks before our stay over Thanksgiving 2024. Donna was SO helpful before, during and after our stay. By far the best host I have ever encountered at a vrbo. She even left us a few surprise goodies for our arrival! Completely unexpected and very appreciated! This property had everything we needed to make our Thanksgiving wonderful (besides the groceries or course). It was spacious for our crew of 6 (2 adults, 4 kids under 10), and it also had a pack'n'play and high chair ready and available for us. Check in was seamless. We got in late and had zero issues finding the place or getting in. We opted not to purchase the resort access since there are plenty of other things to do on the island. We did hit the Mauna Kea beach a few times but get there early, the parking lot does fill up fast! Hot tub and pool were perfect for us. There was a book with insutructions on the pool and hot tub, i did have questions on warming up the hot tub but Donna put me in touch with someone who was able to help me with it quickly! Super easy. There was a cooler that we used daily, and some misc beach chairs and toys for the kids. All were very appreciated! Conveniently located near several of the best beaches on the island. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to the big island. "

"First time staying at Mauna Kea, and I loved it! - beautiful building & room design and furnishings - the beach is wonderful. sandy entry, protected cove, great for distance swimming - friendly and helpful staff"

"My family had a wonderful vacation at this incredible property. The location is absolutely perfect. The beach and snorkling directly outside of the property is amongst the best on the Island. The amenities within the unit were updated, spotless and very tasteful. Peter, thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!"

"Very modern, clean and functional property. Incredibly comfortable, too. Best views (and sunsets!) in all of Hawaii. The property manager/concierge was attentive and I never had to wait more than 30 minutes for a reply to any and all questions we had about the house. Can't wait to stay here again next summer with my family. "
