Owner of this unit takes pride in his place, everything was maintained perfectly and unit is fully stocked. Attention to detail, providing plenty of back-up soap, shampoo, even sunscreen. Chairs and umbrella and snorkle gear the beach! Lovely fruit gift basket upon arrival. Location is ideal.

Lovely Condo
Very much enjoyed the condo at Mauna Lani Terrace. Unit was well equipped and there was a lovely gift basket when we arrived. We walked everyday on the numerous walking trails, swam in the pool and at the beach and enjoyed the lanai morning and evening with coffee or glass of wine. I would highly recommend this unit and we are already talking about a return visit.

Great place to stay!
This property is in a great location - walking distance to a private beach and restaurant in addition to the restaurants offered at the Mauna Lani Hotel and a very short drive to the shops. The view from the lanai is beautiful and it’s one of the few units that has comfortable outdoor seating to soak up the ocean view. You will have just a 30 second walk to the pool! It’s incredibly well stocked and Phil was so helpful. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful ground floor location
The property was beautiful and was perfect for our family of 4. Easy walk to the pool, where the children spent most of their time. Lovely dinners on the porch watching the children play on the grass. Owner was very accommodating with our schedule changes and responsive to all communications. I cannot think of a bad word to say. Perfect for us!

Beautiful location
I spent countless hours researching properties. I’m so glad we decided on this one. The Location within the Mauna Lani resort community cannot be beat You can walk to two beautiful beaches and close five minute drive to a great snorkeling beach within the community. You have access to the Mauna Lani resort and amenities: beach, cushioned chaise lounge chairs on sand. pool, restaurants. Condo is fully stocked with supplies and even has lotion, sunscreen, shampoo and conditioners in each bathroom. Full cabinet of beach supplies (chairs, towels, boogie boards, snorkeling gear. It truly feels like a home away from home.

Great location
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay here. The location was perfect -- a few steps away to the pool, a small beach straight ahead beyond the fish ponds, the hotel beach a short walk to the right, and the beach club a short walk to the left. The resort atmosphere was peaceful and serene, although they had plenty of activities available. This particular unit was remarkably well stocked and comfortable. We had a small hiccup when checking in due to a scheduling miscommunication, but it was addressed quickly and kindly.

Great Property Close To Everything
The rental was extremely well stocked and clean when we arrived. Arrival and parking was easy. The host was very helpful and communicative before and during our stay. The unit is walking distance one way to a small safe beach with a lunch and dinner restaurant and the other way it is very easy to walk to the Mauna Lani hotel which had multiple excellent restaurants and an awesome view of the sunset. The back of the unit opens up on the ground level and is very close to the communal pool/bbq area which has a great pool, hot tub and kiddie pool. We were worried that maybe it was too close and might be noisy but that was not an issue at all. We wanted to mention just so people who might have mobility issues know there are steps going from the parking lot down to the entrance of the condo. Overall it was a perfect place for our small family to stay and I see why there are so many wonderful reviews of this place. Mahalo!

An Amazing Getaway
Rarely have we found a vacation rental that was better then the description, but this place was exactly that. Pool, beach access, beach club, fish ponds were all just outside our lanai. The condo is nicely furnished and stocked with everything you could possibly want/need. The grocery & restaurants are within walking distance, or a short drive. So our rental car stayed parked most of the time, and we thoroughly enjoyed all that the property had to offer. We will absolutely return if available again.

This was our second time staying at Phil's condo and we absolutely love it. Spent all of our time at the pool, swimming in the ocean and going on walks. We were even lucky enough to get some waves during our stay. We have been to the big island many times so this trip was all about staying in one place and relaxing. Access to multiple beaches, beautiful walks / ponds and having the condo on the ground level makes this place such a gem! Thanks for having us and hope to be back every year!

Great stay at Mauna Lani
We loved the property and the location at Mauna Lani Terraces. What a great spot - between the Auberge hotel and the beach club with two cute beaches to choose between, great snorkeling, and several excellent restaurants. The unit was the best stocked of any place we’ve ever rented. We so appreciated all the of the beach towels and chairs and toys. The only critique I’d make was the the two full bathrooms are relatively outdated (and the primary bathroom shower could use a good cleaning). Minor issue though! Mahalo to Phil for a great stay and his flexibility in letting us hang a little longer until heading to the airport. We had a wonderful time!

This Terrace unit is clean, great view, and generously supplied with the essentials. It was great to arrive and find the place stocked with plenty of bottled water, TP, clothes and dish detergents, and enormous stacks of clean towels. There was even a welcome basket of fresh fruit and a bag of coffee. The beds are comfortable. It’s a short walk over to two of the best snorkel beaches on the Big Island.

Ideal location
It is a short walk to the Mauna Lani Hotel, to swim, snorkel, or dine. Also, it was a short walk to the Mauna Lani Beach Club, to do the same. Restaurants in both directions were great. I also liked the fact that I could walk out the sliders, and ride my bike without having to carry it up and down the stairs. The Cycling from the location is safe as it is close to the Ironman bike course.

Wonderful location
The Mauna Lani Terraces are in the perfect location for being near the ocean as well as the fish ponds. Now that the nearby hotel has been fully renovated there are more close by restaurants and even a market to pick up sandwiches, pizza, and smoothies. This condo has a fully equipped kitchen and we were able to cook several times with all the bakeware etc. needed. The decor is quite well-done. The only issue we'd say is the mattresses are quite hard and need to be upgraded to memory foam or at least pillow tops for them. We'll definitely be back.

We have stayed at the Mauna Lani resort many times over the last 10 years, but always at the hotel. This experience completely changed my mind. A complete condo with the amenities of home, make this a perfect Hawaiian experience. The resort is available, but you get the privacy and relaxation of a homeowner. And the condo has all of the following: Beach toys, a wonderful view, easy pool and parking access, shopping and everything you need for your stay. Bring your clothes and a desire to relax……everything else is taken care of. Mahalo Phil, we loved our stay.

Very clean and comfortable condominium with great ground level access to the beach's, pool and sunset. More than enough room spread out and relax. The built-in cooking appliances and the cookware could be updated. The water pressure in the master was less than the other parts of the unit and the toilet continuously ran no matter how many the handle was jiggled.

Incredible location and apartment
There are lots of Mauna Lani Terrace apartments on this site, so you probably already know that the location is fantastic and the access to the hotel's lagoon is great. What makes this apartment stand out from the others is two things. First, it's the closest to the pool. Maybe 50 steps. Because it's on the ground floor, you can just walk out to the pool or the ocean. The 2nd big diferentiator is the property manager, Phil Parker. We had a few minor problems and questions during our stay and Phil was incredibly responsive. There's also going to be a new stovetop in the unit, which is great. This is a great place.

We had a wonderful family trip. The location makes this place something special. Walk outside onto the patio, only steps away from the newly remodeled pool and BBQ area (it was fantastic), and a few steps more to the beach. We watched some incredible sunsets through the palm trees while enjoying dinner on the patio - truly magical!!! The place is stocked with everything you could need and had plenty of comfortable seating and space for our family of four. I wish the beds in the guest bedroom were double size instead of twin, but we made it work. Master bed was super comfortable - I haven't slept that good in months!

Mauna Lani Terrace location is wonderful, walk out ground floor unit with views of the fish ponds and ocean were the highlight. Unit it self while comfortable and well stocked is dated (70’s dated) and not really clean. Dirt in sinks, cobwebs and dusty shutters, counters and floors were not clean, carpets needed a good vacuuming. Beds were comfortable with nice linens, plenty of towels. Overall I’d give it 3 stars needs a remodel and better cleaning services.

This review is actually for H-103, we switched last minute due to a change in our plans. Firstly, the owner was very accommodating to our change. The property was excellent, clean, and exceptionally well stocked. 2- 1/2 baths made changing, showering and getting ready for tours or trips easy. The convenience of access to a white sand beach, within a 5 min walk, the facility pool within 50 feet, ground (patio door access) to both as well as reasonable privacy via landscaping made it the perfect situation for my wife and my two kids. We would definitely pick this again on a trip to the Big Island. The owner was easy to contact and accommodating, and was interested in how you were doing and how he could make things better. Excellent stay!

Review of H103
The location of this unit is terrific. Walk out straight to pool or to beach. It has a local charm and was a well supplied unit. Beach toys, towels, coolers, all with easy access. It has a large TV - which I am proud to say - we never needed to use : ) The views of the sunsets, the palm trees, the visiting birds in the morning and evening, created an atmosphere that will make you not want to leave. Yes, it is a ground floor unit, and yes there was the occasional insect, but this is the tropics and insects abound. Do not let it phase you, its a sign of a healthy environment, not one that has been oversprayed with pesticides so that you start to fear what did the kids touch. At night, you could hear the gentle sound of the surf, not too loud, just right to fall asleep to with the screens open. Would easily go back again and again to this location. It can not be beat.
