Beautiful property

We were there for a special family birthday trip with adult children and my parents. It was a wonderful set-up for our group. The house is lovely and outfitted beautifully with everything you would need. The views are amazing! It was such a wonderful place to stay while we explored the various activities and treats that the island offers.

Amazing stay, amazing property

We had a fantastic spring break here, with a group of six (mix of adults, and preteen/teens). The house is immaculate and honestly better than the pictures convey! We thoroughly enjoyed the home, especially the large pool and lanai area. Very easy for a large group to gather but also have a few private spaces. The property manager was a great communicator and met us at the home upon arrival and at check out. We will most certainly return!

Fantastic stay at Dolphin House, 100 percent recommend

We had a wonderful 10 days staying at the Dolphin House. Kathleen the house manager communicated perfectly both in advance and during our stay. She stocked the house with our requested groceries and was super responsive to all of our questions. The owner Rob provided a fantastic list of suggestions and recommendations for restaurants, activities and outings. We thoroughly enjoyed having access to both resorts and all of the amenities, and also loved the comfort of staying in a home vs a hotel. The location is fantastic and we loved watching the sunset every evening from the pool area. The house worked really well for our family. Would definitely love to return.

Dolphin House is Awesome

A top notch property located on the Hapuna golf course. The house is great but what makes the property special is the Infiniti pool and epic views. We had a group of 4-adults and 4-teenage kids. It would have been better if there was 1-extra bedroom but we made it work. The 2-main master bedrooms are very nice. I wouldn’t waste your time purchasing the extra Mauna Kea resort privileges. Save your money and enjoy the pool at Dolphin house!

Amazing house and spectacular views!

This house is your dream Hawaiian vacation come true! Beautiful upscale immaculate home, excellent amenities and perfectly supplied gourmet kitchen with basic pantry supplies and more. Everything you need for the beach is available in the garage closet. Rob was super communicative, answering all our questions leading up to our stay and contacted us after our arrival to make sure everything was satisfactory. We spent most of our time at the house on the lanai or in the beautiful infinity-edged pool. The pictures on the listing are spot on, but the views - no way to accurately capture the WOW-factor of the views!

Simply Amazing

Our family of 6 stayed at this amazing property and we had a wonderful time. Our only disappointment was leaving! The house is beautiful and quite comfortable. The kitchen is nicely stocked; we enjoyed eating in several nights. The pool and the views are fantastic! Every night we had the best seat in the house for the sunset. Check in process was easy and Rob was extremely responsive and accommodating. We highly recommend this property.

Perfect Family Spring Break at the Dolphin House

We have so many incredible things to say about our stay at the Dolphin House. Rob is the consummate host and helped make our stay the best. He was incredibly communicative leading up to our arrival and we were greeted with a beautiful welcome gift (including Rob’s home brewed rum, delicious!) as well as easy to read instructions covering everything from the kitchen appliances, use of the house’s electric bikes, as well as recommendations for nearby hikes and restaurants. The house itself was clean, comfortable and beautifully appointed. In fact, the pictures don’t quite do it justice! The decor is sleek and modern with a Hawaiian flair. The pool and hot tub are beautiful and well kept. Of course, you cannot beat the views from the backyard. Rob answered all of our questions during our stay. Can’t say enough good things about the Dolphin House and we would definitely give it the highest recommendation.l!

Everything as advertised

We had a perfect first week of 2022 at this great Mauna Kea property. Everything was exactly as described in the listing. There is so much fun at the house itself, it made leaving for the beach difficult at times. Great for couples or a family with older children. The kids loved the electric bikes, the office (gaming nook) and the pool. Kitchen also is very well equipped. Owners also provide a lot of great information about the island and its unlimited opportunities.

A Wonderful Experience

This was the most wonderful trip. Working with the homeowner was very easy. He was so informative about what to do where to go always quick to respond to any questions. He truly wanted us to have a great experience. We felt so at home on the property. It was above and beyond our expectations. Do not hesitate to book. The home is beautiful, well maintained and it had everything you would need to live there. We hated to leave.

Fantastic stay!

We had a wonderful stay in this home. We’re frequent visitors to Mauna Kea and have stayed in many homes or condos. This home is the by far the nicest of any we’ve stayed at. The home literally looks brand new and the finishes are first class. Also, this is the best view we’ve experienced in any of the homes we’ve rented. We loved the large pool area and outdoor lanai, be it for morning coffee or sunset drinks, there was alway some aspect of the open view to take in. This is a perfect home for adults. We had an outstanding vacation here and will definitely return to this home again as it’s now our top pick in Mauna Kea!

About the host

Hosted by Rob M.

Host profile image
We are a family of four who live in this home for most of the year. As such, we have outfitted the home with top-of-the-line appliances, decor, furnishings and art. We only rent it out during very limited times for those discerning guests.

Why they chose this property

When we saw this property, we fell in love with it. Vacationing in the Mauna Kea resort for years, we knew the area well and kept waiting for the perfect property to come up. This is THAT property. It boasts (in our opinion) the best views in the area. Further, the home has been completely renovated making it (in our opinion) the nicest home in the area. The outdoor space is phenomenal with large pool, "wet deck", ample seating, separate hot tub and views that are to die for. Everything in this home is top notch from the Miele appliances, to custom cabinets, mahogany doors, motorized shades, enormous BBQ and very expensive paintings.

What makes this property unique

Amazing views uninterrupted by rooftops or other homes...complete privacy. Finishes and furnishings well beyond a typical rental...it's our home.
