Golf Villas--A Quality Location

This golf villa is a 3 bedroom town home style condo located between two holes on the Mauna Lani South course. From both the patio and the 2nd floor lanai, you can see a nice view of both a green and a tee box. Unfortunately, the closest golf course amenity is a restroom, which is right in front of the unit. But it wasn't particularly intrusive to the enjoyment of the unit.

The 3 bedroom units are on the ends of the buildings and have the better views. The units are relatively new, so all the inside furnishings, appliances, etc are very nice, high-end in quality, and in excellent condition.

The place is also very spacious, and can easily accommodate the guests without feeling crowded. The only negative about this unit was that the owner only placed one lamp with a small wattage bulb to light both the dining room and the main living area--a fairly large space. Since we weren't using the other bedrooms, we brought all of their lamps into the main area so that, after dark, we could read in the main room, or even eat at the table.

According to the list of amenities, the unit provides access to the beach club, which is on a very nice swimming and snorkeling beach nearby. But the access card to that club wasn't in the unit. Since we were there to play golf it didn't bother us, but you should check with the manager to get that card. We did have access to a nice common pool area. The rental agent was very helpful on a short notice rental, and even upgraded us for free--and was VERY responsive in the whole rental process. Compared to the cost of other condos in the area, rented say, through the hotels, this was an excellent value.
