A perfect stay

First of all, where the heck is this place? Your disorientation is wholly understandable since the location of the rental is variously listed as Kamuela, Mauna Lani, Puako, I think I even saw a Waimea or Kohala. It is indeed on the Kona side of the Big Island. To confirm: this property is in the Mauna Lani resort, about 1/2 hour north of the airport (KOA), about a mile or maybe a little less away from the Fairmont Orchid. There is a Foodland grocery store very nearby.This house is in one of two developments, the KaMilo and the Kulalani, that share a large common pool area and fitness center. We've stayed in the Kulalani development twice in the past, which seems to have more of the adjoining townhomes; this house is in the KaMilo side, which appears to have the larger single family homes. You have keycard access to the Mauna Lani beach club and the Napua restaurant.This property is one of the best equipped we've ever stayed in. For example, it's the first rental we've had with an adequate number of tongs, which may seem like a weird metric but one of the things we often feel like we're missing when we vacation. There's all kind of beach equipment, even 3 bicycles to ride. The rental company is very responsive.The home did that great thing for vacations where the property itself kinda fades away from notice and what you remember is the ridiculous game of charades you played with the family where no one could guess that grandma's was trying to mime "bear".

Ahhhmazing

This place was perfect!!! It was big and roomy and had everything we needed for a family of 4. It was soooo clean and comfortable. My teen boys loved having their own bedrooms and bathrooms. In the evenings after long day at the beach or site seeing it was nice to come home.to an air conditioned house..It was like home away from home. Before we checked in we went to Costco by the airport and stocked up on snacks and food. The house had all the cooking items and seasoning we needed son it was nice to enjoy some home cooked food which cleaved us from having to eat out every meal. The grill outside was clutch. We did enjoy some meals out. Our favorite place was Umekes fish market which was by far the best place we ate all week. They had the best Tuna Sashimi we’ve ever had!!!! The house had all the beach necessities that we needed. Chairs, ice chest, towels, paddle board. The beach is about an 8 minute drive away and was a small private beach. Perfect for families with young children. My teens enjoyed it but preferred the other beaches with waves. Which were all about 15-20 Minute drive. But was allll worth it. The beaches off site are gorgeous. We went to Kua Beach for a couple days and enjoyed the crystal blue waters.

Hokulei Cottage Review

My husband and I booked a 9-day stay at the Hokulei Cottage in KaMilo. Burt and Krish of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Island Lifestyle were extremely efficient and very welcoming. This property is stunning with a private backyard we used for several dinners. The kitchen was beautifully equipped, and the home was very clean. We intend to book another stay in the future and we would highly recommend the property and the excellent management team.

Beautiful home away from home!

The home was great! All amenities were there, wonderful welcome gift, great communication! The location is fantastic. Only area of feedback was on cleanliness. The house was cleaner than most homes we’ve stayed at in Hawaii, however it looked like they were battling an insect problem in the master bedroom. There were traps that were full of bugs and some on the surrounding carpets. Everything else was absolutely fantastic and I would 100% recommend it to anyone going to the area!

We had an incredible stay at Hokulei Family Cottage on the Big Island! The property was absolutely stunning and had a spacious layout. The amenities provided made me feel right at home, and the location was perfect for exploring the island's natural beauty. We particularly enjoyed the available beach equipment and riding the bikes to the grocery store. The property management team was attentive and made sure everything was in order. I can't wait to return to this wonderful rental for another unforgettable vacation.

My husband and 8 month old daughter stayed at this beautiful home and it truly felt like paradise. The home is clean and equipped with all the amenities you need. They even had a high chair and pack and play for our daughter. We loved everything about this place--the charming back yard, bath tub, and peaceful neighborhood. The pools were never crowded which is a huge bonus right now. To make things even better, the host was amazing and so thoughtful. We forgot our swim trunks which my husband had just purchased for himself at the shops and Burt quickly mailed them back to us. I couldn't recommend this place enough and hope we can come back one day soon. Mahalo!

A Mauna Lani Jewel

My wife and I spent 7 weeks here. Despite being frequent travelers to the Mauna Lani area, it was the first time for Kamilo and our first time for this cottage. It was beautifully appointed with comfortable furniture and a great master bed. We loved having the space in the yard and the views of the sunrise and volcanoes. The Giant bikes in the garage were perfect for riding around the Mauna Lani area. For anything that we needed to call attention to during our stay, Michael the property manager was receptive, responsive and thorough, in addition to just being fun to work with. Burt, as "boots on the ground" was helpful when needed also. We would stay longer if we could and we will be back.
