We stayed in Ralph & Priscilla's condo for a little over 3 weeks, and were very happy with just about everything. Location was great, and we really enjoyed the pool area, which we think is much better than the one at Fairways. Condo was very clean and well-outfitted. We didn't end up using the GEM cart much, but with more people I can see that it could be very handy. The A/C system took a little getting used to but was great once Ralph helped us understand how it operated. It wasn't actually complicated; we just don't need A/C where we live, so it was unfamiliar to us. We've been home a few days, and are definitely missing our "home away from home." Hope to return one day!

Kulalani is a beautiful property that is very well kept. It was great having the Gem cart to go to the beach and shops. So convienent. The unit had everything we needed and was clean on arrival. We have stayed at the Kulalani before and chose it again for the wonderful pool areas. Ralph and Pricilla, our hosts, replied quickly to any questions and sent clear entry instructions to the property. We look forward to returning.

We absolutely loved our time in this home in Mauna Lani. The location was central to many beaches and just a short cart or bike ride to a private beach with great snorkeling. It was so nice having a grocery store store so close. We loved the gym and pool access as well. Ralph was a wonderful host. We will definitely be staying again!

This place was beautiful and relaxing. Felt like a home away from home. Short ride to the beach and pool.

We had a fabulous stay at Naupaka@Kulalani Mauna Lani Resort. A lovely appointed property with absolutely everything needed for a perfect Hawaiian vacation. Bikes, coolers, snorkels, beach chairs, beach towels were in excellent condition. The GEM golf cart was an added bonus. We used the GEM to go shopping, out to dinner and to the beach club. There are 2 pools 2 spas and a workout room a short walk from the condo. These are used by the Kulalani complex and were not crowded. The beach at Mauna Lani was absolutely perfect, with chairs in the shade, showers, restrooms and a cafe. A wonderful sand beach with great snorkeling. It was so nice we spent all of our beach days there. Ralph and Pricillia were perfect host, always available to answer any questions about the property or the area. We have already told several friends about this property. I am sure we will be back. Aloha and Mahalo Ralph. All the best

We have been staying at Mauna Lani for over 14 years and have stayed at many different condos and houses. This home has been by far the nicest two bedroom we have ever stayed in. The unit is immaculate and beautifully decorated. Ralph was a joy to work with. The resort cart is an added bonus and the best way to get around the resort. Access to the private beach club and Napua restaurant makes for an amazing week and relaxing vacation. I would highly recommend this home and we will be back.

This is the 3rd condo we’ve stayed at in the Kulalani complex because we love all of the amenities. Ralph and Priscilla were wonderful hosts and thought of all of our needs. The condo was well stocked and gave us what we needed to enjoy all the big island has to offer. I highly recommend this condo and would stay here again.

This is an amazing unit in a wonderful complex. Everything you could need is in this unit…beach towels and equipment, first aid supplies, and owner even left snacks out for our arrival! I especially enjoyed the island information Ralph left about the language! If I am lucky enough to return to Big Island I’m staying here again. My 3 adult kids 18-22 agree! Stop looking, stay here!

My family and I had a wonderful week at Ralph and Priscilla's house in Mana Launi. Ralph made everything so easy, and the house was amazing. Tons of space, all of the appliances we could possibly need, super comfortable beds with quality linens, and so nice to have all of the beach and snorkel gear there to use. We also loved the electric cart- easy to use and lots of fun! We made use of the Rec Center, the nearby and beautiful beach with access to great snorkeling, and the super close pools. We can't wait to return!

We enjoyed our stay, which included so many amenities: full kitchen, washer and dryer, beach gear, bikes, GEM cart, pool, fitness center, huge master bathroom, walk-in closet, parking (we only had to park across the way once), and much more. There may not be much of a view, but the trade-off is peace and privacy. As for shopping, dining, and groceries, there is a small market and the Tommy Bahama restaurant at the resort's small mall; however, your best bet is to drive a few miles south to the Waikoloa Resort. Detailed communication with the host was appreciated!

This home was a great place to stay on the Big Island. The home was clean and very well maintained. The beach and pool access was close and the Gem Cart made getting around incredibly easy. Ralph communicated well with us and was always available to answer questions. We would definitely go back there in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great trip!

We have stayed in Mauna Lani a few times in some great condos, but this was our favourite! As a family of 4 with a 14 and 11 year old we had a blast. The kids used the bikes everyday, to and from the pool and the nearby shops. We loved the use of the golf cart, it was of excellent standard.
Ralph was super helpful and checked we had everything we needed. And the private beach is stunning. We hope to be back in 2 years time.

Enjoyed the home. It was clean and well maintained. Great amenities provided for the beach, pool and neighborhood. Ralph made some good recommendations for us on food, activities, etc. We had some plumbing issues (singing pipes at unfortunate hours) that owner tried to resolve while we were there, but still had some work to do at the time we left.

We’ve rented many condos and homes via VRBO and this is the BEST equipped, clean and well managed one we’ve stayed in! Extra towels, laundry/dish soap, paper towels, TP, coffee, GEM cart, etc. all appreciated. The kitchen and BBQ had everything we needed and we ate in daily.
In addition, the condo is spacious, light and bright! Very clean and well maintained. Thank you for making it available. We look forward to renting it again!

A great stay all around. The GEM cart was a real plus for getting around allowing our group to split up to see different sites. Would definitely stay again.

We have been to the Big Island many times and, in particular, Mauna Lani area. The peace and quiet, convenient Beach Club and restaurants, and lovely rentals continue to draw us back. This time we really enjoyed the spacious townhome with well equipped kitchen. Traveling with adult children, it was nice to have the two bedrooms on opposite ends of the upstairs, each with a bath to use. As for toys, you couldn’t ask for more: umbrellas, chairs, cooler, boogie boards, bikes, and more. We hope to stay there again.

Check in and check out process was very smooth. Gem car, bikes and beach gears got a lot of use. Great experience!

Lovely townhome in a great location. About 25 min north of Kona and in a more exclusive community. Access to the private beach, two gyms and pools was fantastic. Use of the GEM cart was fun and great for zipping to the above as well as the local grocery store (Foodland), about 5 min away. The owner, Ralph, was great throughout the entire process - very responsive and helpful. If this place is open just trust me and book it!

Ralph has an excellent rental. He is meticulous and it is reflected in this condo. Great location with lots of amenities including two pools/hot tub on location and access to tennis facility. However, the golf cart was the icing on the cake. We use the cart every day for shopping or to take us to a very nice private beach. I have traveled and rented many places and this was one of the best rentals.

Ralph and Priscilla were excellent hosts and their property is beautiful. We wish we stayed longer! Ralph was incredibly responsive.
They even gave us some much appreciated local snacks and leis with a handwritten note for our honeymoon.
The GEM cart was great to go to private beaches. Snorkel gear and beach equipment were huge a huge plus! So many other amenities it's hard to list. Wonderful upscale restaurants nearby. Amazing safe snorkeling nearby as well.
Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We had a great time visiting the Big Island and staying in Ralph and Priscilla’s condo was a perfect setup for us. The condo was in very good condition and was located in a nicely maintained complex. The kitchen was well equipped and served well for us. The bedrooms, the living room and both the lanai areas were all nicely decorated and made our stay very comfortable. The garage was large enough for our car to be parked although we mostly left it in the guest parking lot. The garage had bicycles and all beach equipment one could ever need for having a pleasant time on the beach. There were well labeled keys and pass cards provided for the condo as well as the public areas we had access to. Ralph was the perfect host and he provided timely and great information in all communication we had with him. He even had a welcome call with us when we first arrived that made the visit feel very personalized. Especially learning about the Makaiwa Bay beach as the snorkeling there was a good as we experienced on the boat trips we went on. I’d highly recommend Ralph and Priscilla’s condo for anyone planning a trip to the Big Island and we will definitely try to stay there again in the future.

We had a wonderful time at Ralph's condo. The unit is very nice, clean and especially Ralph provide us all and lots supplies like detergent, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and others… We love the condo having pots, pan and other kitchen tools …. We prepared most of our meals in condo every day. There are 4 bicycles in the unit and we enjoyed biking. There are many things Ralph provided for us. We like this unit lots comparing to 3 previous units we stayed in Kulalani in the past. It was very easy to contact Ralph and he responded to me very fasttttt….We definitely stay at Ralph condo if it is still available when we come back to Hawaii island in the future. Thank you for everything Ralph!

The Gem car, beach accessories, bikes, fitness center access and location made this a fantastic stay for our family (13 & 16 year old boys). The unit was stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay, we made ourselves right at home. We really just had to show up and add our personal touches.
Ralph was very accommodating and responsive to all inquiries. Details were very clear and easy to understand. If you are considering this rental know you are in great hands.
