Excellent Spring Break Vacation

The house was great, and we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking in, which we did a lot of as we have young kids. The pool and jaccuzi were great as we spent a day at the house rather than going to the beach. Overall we would recommend this house, and would stay here again. Thank you!

The description is accurate, but as important - the house was very well stocked. Actual sharp knives and nonstick pans in a rental? Heck yes. We plan to come back to the big island, and when we do, this house will be our first choice.

Beautiful, comfortable and well appointed home.

We loved this home. We will definitely return. We have stayed in many rental homes and therefore really appreciate when owners set up their guests with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds & sheets, plenty of towels, good internet, clear instructions, great concierge service, etc. The owner is prompt and professional. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful & Relaxing Vacation

We had a wonderful time with our 10 year old at this well appointed and beautiful home. Only recommendation is to provide a map in advance so it is easier to find at night as the directions were sparse. Otherwise we think it is a gem of a place and highly recommend to anyone who wants a private and quiet place with beautiful views of the mountains and sea close to the beach! Thank you so much for sharing your home! Aloha nui loa.

Best of both

The Mauna Kea residences are superb. The houses afford families plenty of space to spread out, relax, and enjoy time together. Yet, they are just minutes, walk or drive, from both the Hapuna and Mauna Kea where they can enjoy world class beaches and services. Our family has been coming to the Mauna Kea since 2001, the residences were a natural progression as the family as grown to include fiances and spouses. Richard's property was all it was advertised to be.

Wonderful stay

This house was amazing and was a huge splurge for our family, but so happy that we did. We initially had issues with the Sub-Zero refrigerator not getting cold, but the homeowner immediately addressed this and sent out a service person to check and fix the issue. Every room is nicely furnished, and very comfortable to lounge on. I got a good nights rest on their spacious, comfortable beds. The outdoor pool is small, but nice for a quick dip. If you are looking for a nice stay and great location, this is the one! Note: recommend going to Beach 69 (5-10 minutes away), for a sandy beach access.

Luxurious and quiet.

We took our two college age daughters to this house. They each enjoyed their own private suite which was an awesome spring break for them. The private splash pool and outdoor living space were so great, we didn't even use the resort privileges that were available. Hapuna Beach Park is a short drive and we went there one day. The house had everything imaginable for the beach-chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, coolers. The kitchen was fully stocked. We used the grill a couple of nights and ate breakfast at the house everyday. It was a great family trip, and quite luxurious.The owner and his on-site staff were very attentive. I sent an email to the owner, Richard,when we first arrived on the Sunday, and he responded back immediately. We would definitely rent this villa again.

Perfect Stay

The place was fantastic. The en-suite bedrooms, closets and bathrooms are large and beautifully appointed. There were very nice amenities supplied such as shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. Very nice hangers in the closets and bathrobes. Cotton balls and Q-tips. The kitchen was very well stocked and supplied with spices, coffee pods, and all sorts of cooking equipment. The great room area was beautiful, the lani area spacious and beautifully appointed. All the furnishings were extremely nice. The property has a small pool and hot tub and the complex also has a pool. The views are incredible. We signed up for the Mauna Kai club which my family enjoyed very much. The place is very well set up for families or couples. It has beach chairs, beach towels and a huge array of beach toys. Both the owner and the property manager were very responsive and helpful. They provided a book with information about the property, area activities and restaurants. We could not have had a better experience. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Hawaiian charm and luxury

From start to finish, renting this home was a pleasure. Richard and Lisette both were wonderful to work with, and very responsive. The gated neighborhood is peaceful and pretty, as is the private courtyard leading to the front door. We arrived to find Hawaiian music softly playing on the living and master bedroom tvs, a comfortable room temperature, beautiful home and breathtaking, expansive view! The home itself is gorgeous with high end finishes and decor. Indoor and outdoor furniture are very comfortable and so is the master bed. We did not use the other beds, so I can’t speak to the comfort of those, but they looked nice. The master shower, with floor to ceiling windows that lead directly out to the outdoor shower, is heavenly! The home has everything you need for the beach (Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrellas, snorkel gear, sand toys, boogie boards, beach towels…) The kitchen is very well stocked with plates, cups, utensils but also food basics like spices, coffee, sugar and oil. The owners also provide little things to make you feel right at home - shampoo, soaps, lotion, kitchen sponge, laundry detergent, books, robes. There are plumeria trees and a producing lime tree in the backyard to add to the tropical ambiance as we enjoyed the pool and hotub. The incredible views span from golf course to mountains to ocean. My husband and I have stayed in several higher end VRBO rentals, and we agreed that this is right at the top of our list as one of the best, if not the best! As far as things to do, my husband played and enjoyed Hapuna and Mauna Kea golf courses (both just minutes from the house. The house sits on the 15th fairway for the Hapuna course.) I loved body surfing at Hapuna beach (also nearby). Mahalo Richard and Lisette!

Spectacular Villa!

My family and I just returned from our stay at this beautiful villa that comfortably accommodated the four adults and three teens in our party. We arrived late in the evening on the 23rd of December and thanks to Lissette's help with the initial grocery shopping we were able to get the essentials in place so we didn't have to run out after travelling 12 hours! The villa was immaculate, and the layout was perfect for our group. Rick was able to arrange for an additional roll away so my teens could each have their own space which was greatly appreciated by all. The home was outfitted with every appliance and kitchen utensil you could ever need which came in handy since we did grill several nights! All the appliances were high end and seemed to be brand new or hardly used. Lissette. the property manager, was spectacular. We spoke by both phone and email prior to my arrival and she made several dinner reservations for us as well as booked fishing and golf for our group. This was very helpful since we vacationed during the holiday's and the island was somewhat crowded. Dinner reservations were especially essential. The location of the villa was excellent. We were able to get to many different beaches, restaurants and supermarkets without any issue. We did use the hotel beach one day but it truly is not necessary as there are many more beautiful beaches just a short drive away. The development also has a workout facility which we used as well and it was small but well maintained with all the essentials. Rick was a pleasure to deal with, very responsive and accommodating. He kept me up to date on all the upgrades he was making to the villa (new tv's, new beds, etc.) I believe our entire group would say that our stay on The Big Island was definitely made exceptional by the beautiful villa and spectacular views right from the back patio. You truly felt as if you were in paradise! We all would highly recommend this villa to anyone traveling to Hawaii, you will not be disappointed.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The home was equipped with everything you could want. The kitchen is incredible with top of the line appliances and every gadget imaginable. There was plenty of room inside and outside for our party of up to 7 to enjoy meals together or apart. All of the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the lanai enjoying the lovely breezes, ocean views, and occasional visit from a goat grazing on the hill. The pool is a little small but was enough for our needs, particularly since there is a large community pool steps away with workout and common areas. We purchased the resort package which included many amenities at Mauna Kea and Westin Hapuna and made great use of all of them. You do need a car and there are not a lot of restaurants near the property other than at the two resorts but that wasn't a problem. The air conditioning came in handy a few times - there are two controls which we didn't realize until later in our stay. The property manager and owner were very responsive and any questions or issues were addressed immediately. I would recommend this property if you want plenty of room and home away from home on the Big Island.

One of the best rentals we’ve stayed at

Our family (grandparents, parents, and kids) loved this house and it made our whole trip so comfortable. This is easily the most well appointed and well supplied rental we’ve ever stayed in. It truly feels like a house that is meant to be lived in, rather than one that has been furnished and stocked for short term rentals. The kitchen is beautiful and has everything you could need (even a knife sharpener!). The pool, hot tub, and pool deck were so comfortable and relaxing. And the outdoor nature shower….i never want to be without it. I cannot recommend this property more highly.

We just returned home from our fourth stay at Waiululua 343. When we arrived and walked in the front door, my youngest grandson declared "We're home," a declaration shared by all of us. The home is in a great location, is super comfortable, and has what is probably the best kitchen I've ever found in a vacation rental. I've already booked our stay for next year.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Stefankiewicz

Host profile image
Aloha,
We are Rick and Connie, live in Toronto, Canada and have adult children. We love our Hawaii home and would be pleased to share it with you. After our 2012 visit to this community, in another villa, we knew we had to live here, where we felt so at home. In the spring of 2013 we were back in a villa across the street and in 2014 purchased this villa which has one of the best views in the community.

Why they chose this property

Our home sits on a hill with a magnificent view of the ocean where we have seen whales playing and incredible sunsets. The villa offers every convenience, from a private outdoor shower to a kitchen equipped for a gourmet chef and glass doors that disappear into the walls to bring the outdoors in.

What makes this property unique

The Amenity Membership we purchased affords our guests access to the adjacent award winning Mauna Kea and Hapuna Resorts with their two Top 100 World Ranked golf courses, tennis club, restaurants and the best beaches in Hawaii. You can share our membership, while you stay with us, for $180 a day, for the villa, regardless of the number of occupants staying in the villa.
