Fairways at Mauna Lani 1702

Wayne is an earth scientist in the energy industry and Diana is a retired educator. We first visited the Big Island in 1976 and made a pledge to return to Hawaii every other year for vacation. We chose the Big Island because it was not as busy as Oahu or Maui and has better infrastructure than Kauai. We also realized that the Big Island has some of the best beaches in the world, if you know how to

find them. The Kohala Coast offers the finest resorts along with the best weather. The trade winds that blow through the saddle between the volcanic peaks keep the air cool and clear. It is no surprise that 9 of the top 10 most expensive homes in the State of Hawaii are located nearby on the Kohala Coast! We wanted to be close to the best beaches in Hawaii. Hapuna, Kauna'oa (Mauna Kea), 69 and 49 Black Sand are all just a short drive away. We also have the benefit of using the parking, cabanas and beach chairs at the Mauna Lani Beach Club Beach which offers great water sports and snorkeling. Our villa is special since the master bedroom is downstairs, there is a barbecue grill on the lanai and it has direct access from the garage.
