Incredible Villa on the Big Island
My husband, daughter, and I had the pleasure of staying at Villa 12 for eight days and absolutely loved it! The Big Island is such a special place and this property allowed us to experience it fully. The views of Mauna Kea at sunrise and the ocean at sunset were priceless. This property was especially great for us because we had the space and flexibility of a home while also having the amenities of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel within a short walking distance. The Villa had everything we needed and was very well taken care of. Also, Sarah the owner was so accommodating and helpful before and during our stay. We cannot wait to come back!!

It does not get better than this.
Villa 12 is an exceptional Villa. The Villa is a stunning, and comfortable home. The Villa is very well appointed with everything you might need. The walk to the hotel and beach is 5-7 minutes, very pleasant and a lovely walk. The Villa is perfect for families as well as couples given the layout. The indoor and outdoor furniture are very welcoming and comfortable – perfect for gatherings and enjoying one another’s company. Regardless if you are having a working vacation or a true vacation, there are comfortable seating areas for everyone to achieve the holiday they are looking for. The location is ideal, extremely private and quiet, and the sunsets are right off the deck, and are a perfect way to end the day. We have been to this Villa many times and look forward to returning again.

Amazing Villa!
The Villa exceeded our expectations! The view is the best, the location was perfect - 5 min. walk to beach. The house is fully loaded - kitchen has everything, bath towels, beach towels, hair dryers, washer, dryer, etc. We had the most amazing, relaxing stay. We always stay at the Four Seasons and we really enjoyed the space this Villa provided us. Definitely purchase the resort pass - my husband played golf twice, we parked at the hotel, enjoyed using the hotels beach chairs and towels. We’ve been going to the Big Island for 25 years and we’ll definitely return the this Villa. Thxs Sarah and Alexis for letting us add one extra day to our rental at the last minute and for the great communication during our stay.

Amazing time in Mauna Kea!
Beautiful and spacious traditional home within a very easy walk of Mauna Kea resort. Truly the best of both worlds having a lovely house and access (extra fee per day) to both Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach resorts. Stunning beach with sandy bottom perfect for swimming and snorkeling right off the shore. Hosts were responsive and helpful. Nice sheets and comfy beds and pillows. Can’t beat that view!

I have been enjoying Mauna Kea for over 45 years, it has always been a magical place for our family. Mauna Kea has given us generational memories that are part of the fabric of our family.

Why they chose this property

Villa 12 is comfortable, elegant, and provides the perfect base for a Hawaiian vacation regardless of what activities you choose to enjoy. The Villa provides privacy as well as wonderful communal space. You can relax at the Villa all day long, enjoy the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel or any of the other adventures that the Island of Hawaii has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The Villa is surrounded by spectacular views. From the Lanai the panoramic coastlines span the horizon from the front of the house Mauna Kea Mountain can be enjoyed. The Villa is quiet, but only a 5 minute walk from the hustle and bustle of the hotel. The modern kitchen supports whatever lever of cooking you might want to undertake. The outdoor BBQ is always ready for any meal. The pool table adds hours of friendly competition.
