Located in a beautiful area of the island. Convenient to shopping. On-site pool and hot tub a plus. Private beach club is nearby, and my family enjoyed a whole day there. Food and service at beach restaurant was a plus.

This is a beautiful condo in a great location. M

The condo was very comfortable and relaxing with beautiful grounds and nice pool. Our host was great and responded quickly to ?’s we had. It was a great stay.

We were looking just to relax and enjoy a low key Hawaiian vacation. This condo provided everything for that. The condo is very clean and well kept and furnished and was always an enjoyable place to return to after going to the beach. The complex is well maintained and quiet which is what we wanted. The pool and hot tub were FABULOUS. We did use the private beach access and enjoyed our day there as well. The condo comes with everything you need for the beach as we did also venture out to some surrounding beaches as well. You'll find a great market near by and Tommy Bahama's happy hour and can catch the sunset at the Fairmont. We were a mix of three adults and two teens and we never felt crowded. We all agreed we'd like to return next year as the big island is our favorite. The only thing is the garage is on the smaller side so backing in a larger rental can be tricky for some. I'm used to bigger cars. We had a mini van. If that is the case you can request a parking placard to park on the street. I wish I was there now. Check in was a breeze by the way. We had no trouble with the below neighbor mentioned in other reviews. Thank you.

This was a lovely condo in a great location. Proximate to great beaches. The pool was an added bonus!

Very nice condo and community that is well maintained. Pleasantly surprised by how nice the pool was. Would have been nice to have umbrellas at the pool. Just a suggestion for the hoa. I also enjoyed the shoreline trail that was right outside of the gate. Only complaint about the condo is the remote was missing for the large ceiling fan so we had to run the ac more than usual.

We loved this condo. Short drive to beach. Beautiful pool. The condo is very well appointed. The loft was a bit dusty, that was our only disappointment. But it was a very small one. This condo is a great value for the price.

We loved staying in this unit and will definitely be back! I stayed here with my two sisters on a girls trip and it was perfect. The grounds and pool are amazing. The unit was clean and we each had our own rooms. The living room was comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. The AC worked perfectly and the beach club access was amazing. We will definitely stay here on our next trip. Communication with owner, Lisa was quick and she was very accommodating. Don't hesitate in booking this great spot!

We loved our stay here. The place was super clean and all the furniture (including the beds) were very comfortable. It was also very quiet. We loved seeing the sunset rise through the kitchen window every morning as well as sitting out on the lanai. The location was great and having access to the beach club was awesome. Bret and Lisa were great hosts and were quick to answer any questions we had (no issues...just questions). We would recommend this and would stay here again on our next visit.

Clean, beautifully decorated and everything you need!!! Thank you!

We very much enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable in the unit. The pool and surrounding gardens are perfect. We are planning to return to Palm Villas in March but will only need a smaller unit as it will be just the two of us. The location is great. We like to walk and do not rent a car, so walking to the beach and grocery store are good exercise. I did look at the many reviews and was surprised that some of the concerns of previous renters had not been addressed. The carpet on the stairs is badly stained (not a good first impression) and the 2 mats on the kitchen floor and the one on the lanai have not been replaced as the owners had said they would do. A previous renter mentioned the there were some standard kitchen items missing. There were no measurisng cups and just a couple of measuring spoons. I contacted Scott and he had the items delivered within hours. We also had to call him about a few maintenance problems and he was quick to address the problems and very pleasant to deal with. The oven was filthy so I did turn on the oven cleaning option. A few items that would have been helpful with all the cooking we did would be a griddle for pancakes (we had to use a frying pan), a colander and a bin to spin lettuce. The woman below us (an owner) was so hostile. On our second day, as we were on our lanai, she came out on the lawn and in a nasty tone told us to "tell the kids to stop running around" We had only one kid...a 10 year old granddaughter who does not run around. We also heard her husband in a loud voice be very rude to a woman (who kept her cool) who came by to discuss some painting. And their dog was never on a leash, as required by the rule book. As a prevous owner of a vaccation home that we rented through VRBO in a resort, I hope you will not take offene at my suggestions. They would be easy fixes (except for the neighbor). I know personally that it isn't easy to maintain a rental when it is not close and I always appreciated a renters' suggestions.

Two couples stayed in this second-floor condo and loved it. We had plenty of space and the kitchen worked great because we cooked every day. A 15-minute walk to the beach or a 5-minute drive was amazing. The beach club had one of the best snorkeling spots I have been at.

We enjoy staying a few nights on the Kohala coast before staying in Volcano Village for a week and then back to the Kohala coast for the remainder of our stay. This year we brought our two grandchildren to the Big Island. The condo was a perfect spot to acclimate them to snorkeling at Makaiwa Bay. It was convenient having the parking pass for the beach club. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub after a full day of snorkeling and walking around the fish ponds. The area is very quiet and peaceful. The condo is well equipped and tastefully decorated. The only drawback we found was that the lanai furniture quite large and heavy/noisy to move to use. We would stay here again.

We stay on this property often. Our staycation choice. This unit was as described however the the second parking placard was not in the unit and the garage door was inoperable even with correct code. (I suspect the battery was weak on the exterior keypad). I called the owner who communicated with me quite promptly and diligently. Her requests to property manager and one other to rectify both issues, fell on deaf ears. I ended up using the deadbolt key to unlock the back of the garage unit, opened it from within, and park one of our two vehicles. Later that night a permanent resident mentioned that he recognized that we were in the unit, encountering parking issues, and pointed out a designated trellis stall, noted the make of our second vehicle and waived the need of a placard. I remember reading about the other stall and failed to look for it. But it made it moot to us since we had no unit assigned parking placard. Day two, housekeeping dropped off a placard. The unit was comfortable however some commonly used utensils were missing. Measuring cups and smaller measuring unit spoons. As expected, we had a grand time, enjoyed the pool and the emptiness. Love the location. We plan to revisit the property. We try to get down there 2 or 3 times a year.

My husband and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon on the big island and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was well-appointed and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the meticulously landscaped gardens. Our favorite part was the beach club. The beach there had fantastic snorkeling and clear calm waters, and the restaurant was fantastic. We hope to come back again!

Great location and amenities, beautiful area, and having 3 separate bedrooms (one being a loft) was perfect. Walks every morning for açaí bowls got our days started. Having access to a swimming and snorkeling beach was our reason for choosing this condo. It was quite nice. Highly recommend this place!

We all had fun in this 3 generation family vacation. Condo is on second floor with a stairway to a roomy loft. Amazing pool, roomy, high quality condo, with many thoughtful touches. Beaches you walk to with great snorkeling. In the north Kona area that rarely has rain and many beaches to explore both North and south. We would rent again.

We enjoyed our stay at Mauna Lani. Easy access to beach for hikes and general exploration. Short car ride to town of Kihei and other local spots. The condo was clean and had everything we need, including snorkeling gear and towels. Thanks again for a fun stay!

Lots of good. The Palms is a great quiet condo complex. Landscaping and pool beautiful. The unit was quite good as well. Clean, spacious, view off the lanai to the pool beautiful. Good TV, quite nice kitchen appliances etc. Had a good time the two of us. A few things need some attention. The sheets on arrival on Master king were old and worn right to holes, we had to go find another one in a closet. The bath towels also needed to be replaced, old and bleach stained. The kitchen ware etc was fine for the two of us, needed more if we were a bigger group as advertised. Our biggest issue was that while we booked months in advance we were told days before we arrived that there would be construction below us and we should indicate if it was a problem. It was loud and we inform the unit owners, and were told nothing to be done. We get that life happens and that things sometimes come up. We really felt like a gesture of some kind, a bottle of wine or a dinner out would have been a much better client experience than "nothing to be done". We had a good time. It is a nice unit. Could use a few touches to improve unit and maybe a bit more more effort to show client focus when things like the construction happen. But we had a good time. Palms is great, unit experience good.

Could be a really great place, probably better for a group with young children. The unit was a pretty good size but was showing signs of wear and tear in the the pool area and the furniture in the living room needs updating. Pictures online are technically accurate but you can't tell how worn all the leather recliners and sofas are from the pictures. Only one room was a true ensuite master bedroom with private bath . The other 2 rooms were on the small and had their bathrooms outside of the bedrooms, which is fine for families with small children but not convienent 2 or more mature couples traveling together. Cleaning was rushed and there were crumbs in drawers and floors could have been swept a bit better. Grill could also be cleaned better between tennants. SIgnificantly more insect activity at this unit than other places we have rented in this same development over the years. We did have a wifi issue on the 3rd day we were there and the property managers helped to get it fixed right away. Management team was very quick to respond and assist with any questions and help we needed. While I would rent from this property management group again, I would not rent this house.

Small neighborhood is nice and quiet. The snorkel and beach items were plentiful and most were in good working order. Unheated pool, nice and spacious jacuzzi (watch out for fire-ants though) and small gym steps away. The kitchen had pretty much everything you need including some spices, oils and condiments in the refrigerator. Plenty of plates, bowls, pots and pans, cooking utensils. The lanai was nice and the grill worked great. An additional light out there would have been helpful. The condo is adequately spacious for five adults and the loft was a nice additional space for 1 or 2 adults, but you need to come downstairs to access a bathroom. Some needed updating: carpet (especially the entry stairs), the rugs in the kitchen and the sliding screen front door. Also, there is a lot of glass that you'll want to frequently clean so hopefully they'll put some windex in the condo. Walking down to the fish ponds and private beach club was very enjoyable although it's a good 20 minute walk so you may want to drive depending on how much stuff you bring. You can also walk (1/2 mile) to the shopping center that includes a grocery store, coffee shop, smoothie shop, Tommy Bahama store and restaurant, a Snorkel Bob's and other clothing, etc... Unfortunately, 1/3 of the shops have permanently closed due to Covid. Hopefully they will be replaced in the future.

The unit description is exactly as listed. The townhouse is roomy and well appointed with everything you need to enjoy the Big Island (beach towels, chairs, snorkel gear, etc.)! The townhouse comes with access to the Mauna Lani Beach Club, which is an added bonus and where we spent most afternoons! We would definitely stay here again!

It was a great place for us and worked out well for us. We enjoyed the beach club and being able to walk to the Mauna Lani.
