There is also a built in covered outdoor BBQ to grill and enjoy your meals on the fully furnished lanai.
This one level villa (no stairs!) makes the Kai La House the perfect Hawaiian retreat for those vacationing with small children or grandparents. There is plenty of seating indoors and out. Also, the home is fully air-conditioned with three separate zones for maximum comfort.
A private backyard, includes your own personal saline pool and oversized saline Jacuzzi that overlooks the ocean and the natural landscape of Hawaii's Big Island. You will surely enjoy this while listening to the sounds of the pool’s waterfall and enjoying the spectacular sunset views! 


Three bedrooms provide sleeping for up to 8! There are two master suites and a third bedroom with two queens, each with full bathrooms and walk in closets. The Kai La House is a great getaway for vacationing couples, who enjoy spending time together but also value their own space.
The two master suites have outdoor showers for a glorious sunshine experience!
If you like watching the big game or enjoying movies after your day at the ocean or playing golf, the main living room has an 80 inch OLED television with sonos surround sound and each bedroom is equipped with 55 inch OLED television.
Enhance your vacation with optional add-on access to two world class hotels, the Marriott luxury collection Mauna Kea and the Westin Hapuna Beach resorts, and the resorts will welcome you as if you were a checked in guest.

Big Island Family Vacation

The house was exactly as the listing described. Very clean, well appointed and in a nice location above the Mauna Kea Resort. Views were not great just because of the way the house is positioned but if a view isn’t a priority, it’s a perfect home. We rented an electric cart from Kohala Beach Buggies which was a great solution to hop down to the beach- it is about a 10 minute drive. Residential Guest Membership is key. We utilized both the MK and Hapuna pools, beaches, restaurants and gyms. Parking and valet are free with the membership. Everything in the home was in perfect working order and the support team was responsive for the few questions that we had.

Home was as pictured in the photos. Kitchen had top of the line appliances and was well stocked for at home meals. We spent most of the time outdoors on the lanai and in the pool/hot tub, as well as at the beach and pool at the Mauna Lani. Only downside was Internet was unstable for work, TV.

Beautiful home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during our time on the Big Island. The home was absolutely amazing. The two bedroom suites made our stay very comfortable and the home is stocked with almost everything you could possibly need. The home was also very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and the ability to go to the resort on the property to spend time on the beach was an added bonus. Would definitely stay here again. It doesn’t disappoint.

Perfect Combo of Privacy and Resort

The villa was exactly the way the pictures looked, top of the line and beautifully decorated. With 2 teenage boys it was wonderful having the space for everyone to spread out. The kitchen is the nicest and most well stocked I have seen in a rental but the lanai is truly the best feature. Perfectly Hawaiian. And being within the resort grounds with the ability to access those beaches and facilities was a huge bonus. We loved the beach at the Westin and ended up going there almost every day.

Great place away from it all

This house is very nice. Well appointed, comfortable, etc. On the less favorable side, we could not see the sunset from the backyard, it's 45 minutes to most of the restaurants (main town) and I had to pay extra if I wanted to heat the pool/spa. We enjoyed our stay very much, but might have shopped a little more if I had know the less favorable facts. Aloha!

Spectacular in every way!

This is the best equipped vacation rental I have ever stayed in with everything from beach toys and lanai dishes that were perfect for kids to scotch tape and puzzles. We stayed with our two toddlers and their grandparents and had an absolutely fabulous week enjoying one of the most beautiful beaches in the world at the Mauna Kea Resort. It was definitely a great deal to pay for the resort access for the group. It was so nice to combine the perks of a resort with the benefit of a house with a kitchen and space to spread out. True luxury to be able to lounge by the pool while toddlers nap in the next room! We would love to stay here again and would give our highest recommendation for this property.

Great Home!

Our family of 5 spent the Thanksgiving Week in this wonderful unit! It was well equipped, extremely clean and the host was easy to communicate with. It has a great location and very well appointed. Being Lik fans and owning some Collections we appreciated the tasteful artwork. Came with all the necessary Beach gear but if you get access to MK and Hapuna it really isn’t needed. While an extra cost for the access I highly recommend adding it. Two of the best beaches on the islands! Mahalo!

Best place to stay in all of Hawaii

I can’t emphasize how perfect this house is for a relaxing Hawaii vacation. We had two kids who spent all day playing in the pool, my mom who enjoyed the junior master suite, and of course my wife and myself who loved being able to keep an eye on the kids while relaxing to beautiful views and quiet solitude. The accommodations are luxurious. Everything you need and more is already in the house. Quick drive to beaches, stores, and other sites. Property manager was very responsive - we had an issue with the spa heater and the repair technician was onsite within minutes. amazing. This is THE place you’re looking for - I promise.

Gorgeous stay in Hapuna Villa

Our two families of 8 people had a terrific stay! The house was spacious, clean, beds were comfy and indoor outdoor living was perfect for all of us. Well stocked in terms of utensils and equipment. Only thing missing was a salad spinner! Location is super for getting off the beaten track. Great jogging and walks around the Hapuna Estates property. Nice amenity center with infinity pool and small workout room. Note that you cannot rent a golf cart as it isn't allowed on the highway and to get to Mauna Kea Beach, you have to go on the highway. The higher velocity carts ARE allowed so try to get one of those if you don't want to drive your car each day. Donna as a host was super and couldn't have been more responsive. Overall, a terrific property that gave us a much-needed vacation and helped us get over our lockdown blues. We'll be back!

Hawaiian Luxury Plus

This was to be a family vacation with three generations, unfortunately our son, daughter-in-law, 11 year old grandson contracted COVID from their England trip a week before we were leaving. We had not seen them, so we decided to go without them. Just the two of us in a 3 bedroom home, but it was not the end of the world! I have stayed in many VRBO’s, but this surpasses all. The kitchen was better outfitted than mine. The bed was so comfortable and all linens were luxury brand. Lots of beach toys, snorkeling items in the garage. If you are lucky enough to book this gorgeous home, you will not be disappointed. The manager Donna was so easy to work with and responded to all my questions. Mahalo and enjoy this piece of paradise.
