ALOHA! Immerse yourself in an authentic Big Island vacation experience while staying at our beautiful Tommy Bahama inspired ‘Villa Lava’, located in the private gated luxury community of the Fairways at the Mauna Lani Resort on the majestic Kohala Coast. The Mauna Lani Resort is a private oasis built around 7 ancient fish ponds (known as the Kalahuipua'a ponds) and located 22 miles north of the Kona Int'l Airport, near the Big Island’s best white sand beaches--including Hapuna (best boogie boarding!), Mauna Kea (picture perfect w/ free night-time Manta sighting), secluded and rustic Mau’umae Beach, and Makaiwa Bay, which is a protected cove with spectacular coral formations with TONS of fish and snorkeling on par with Captain Cook/Kealakekua Bay and a perfect place for stand-up-paddle-boarding and safe swimming for all ages! Best of all, your stay allows you access to the private Mauna Lani Beach Club located at Makaiwa Bay, which includes restrooms, outdoor showers, drinking water, as well as Beach Club resort amenities including free lounge and private cabana seating (arrive early!) and oceanfront dining and cocktails at Napua Restaurant (reservations recommended!) The Fairways at Mauni Lani offers lots of walkable sunset experiences including two 5-star resort hotels: the Fairmont Orchid with 6 restaurants and the Mauna Lani Hotel, with 5 restaurants, and Holoholokai Beach Park w/ restrooms, showers, picnic tables, and BBQ grills!

As a guest you will have access to the Mauna Lani Resort amenities which include:
Two 18 hole championship ‘Troon’ golf courses (Note: South course was formally the Senior Skins Game!) as well as a 9 hole par 27 wikiwiki course!
Private Mauna Lani Beach Club with cardkey access for free parking
Mauna Lani Sports & Fitness Club and Mauna Lani Tennis Shop (addl’ fees involved)

Enjoy the secure custom code KEYLESS front door entry feature. No need to worry about losing house keys in the sand, and we can set the code to a number of your choosing!

FREE wireless hi-speed internet is provided for your convenience! How fast? 4 simultaneous Zoom calls…..We both worked remotely while our 2 daughters went to school remotely for one month and we had zero technical issues!

Beach fun: You will surely enjoy the beach goodies in the garage for your use such as beach towels, beach cooler, beach toys, beach chairs & umbrella, boogie boards, snorkel gear, and a wagon style beach cart to help you schlep the gear to the beach! Plenty of room in the garage to dry off your towels, store your suitcases, etc.

My family (spouse, myself and 3 kiddos) - stayed at Janine & Andrew's lovely home for a week and it was perfect for us! From the cleanliness, amenities, well-stocked kitchen, location, and so much more - our stay at Villa Lava was absolute perfection. Janine was incredibly helpful and communicative our entire stay! We hope to be back in the future. Thank you for making our first visit to the Big Island as a family of 5 absolutely seamless!

This was a perfect property to explore Big Island and was exactly described in the listing. The use of the car park at the beach club was a real bonus. I would recommend staying here to anybody.

Great time!

This was an amazing place to stay! My wife was participating in the Ironman 70.3, and this place was a 15 minute walk to the location of the race. Another huge positive was having access to the Beach Club down the street. We couldn’t have been happier with this condo during our stay, and we definitely hope to stay here again when my wife races the half Ironman again!

Our whole family loved our stay. The villa had everything you would need and was set up amazingly well for young kids - comfortable beds, great pool, good AC and reliable WiFi. The Beach Club down the road was a great place for snorkelling and beach time. Shops are close by for essentials. Janine was a great host and I can’t wait to book again!

Probably bit more than one person needs, but the price was great for the location. It is very central to all our favourite beaches & resorts, and the Mauna Lani shops include a Foodland which makes grocery shopping a breeze. Would definitely stay again!

We (family of four, two adults, kids 10 and 7) stayed at the Villa Lava for a week. It is a wonderful place, the location is great to the beaches and also to the little shopping mall nearby. We loved the property, very spacious and well maintained. The kids enjoyed the pool and made some friends while we were staying there. We are already making plans to come back next year.

Great Family Vacation!

Our family of 4 loved this property so much! They do a great job of stocking it with everything you need (beach supplies, appliances, laundry detergent) so it makes it easy to travel light. The house is well maintained and has a lovely view of a garden. It’s also steps away from the community pool which was great for our two young kids. We were also impressed with the communication; the house came with a helpful manual as well as well labeled without being too intense. We would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely fabulous Big Island home!

Beautiful, well-kept, gorgeously-furnished home in the Fairways! Everything from the beach supplies to the well-equipped kitchen was just about perfect. Breakfast every day out on the lanai, grilling out there about half the time for our dinners; peaceful night's sleep in the great beds; plenty of space for my husband and I and our kids (11 and 7) -- and lovely hosts who made our stay everything we hoped it would be and more. We can't wait to go back!
