Waiulaula Ocean View 3 Bedroom

We stayed at this condo for a week. The unit is accessed by turning down the Hapuna Beach Prince access road, going through a guard shack, turning immediately left and upon arriving at Wai'ula'ula punching in a code which opens an electronic gate to enter the Wai'ula'ula group of condos and homes. So, a gate within a gate, very secure. The condo has 3 bedrooms (the two with ensuite bathrooms are quite large), the third bedroom is a bit smaller but still large enough to be comfortable. Each bedroom has its own television in an armoire and lots of closet space. The third bedroom faces the driveway and the other two face the front of the condo with great ocean and golf course views. All bedrooms have comfortable King sized beds. There is a fourth television in the living room within an armoire that also has a stereo and DVD player. The entrance from the driveway (it’s a second floor condo) opens into the kitchen/living room and the entrance and kitchen is tile and the rest of the condo, except for the bathrooms, is carpeted. The lanai is tiled as well. The kitchen has stainless appliances and granite countertops. The cabinets and drawers are dark wood and are the slow closing type. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, cutting boards, cutlery, scissors, 4 slice toaster, cookbooks, microwave and a double drawer type dishwasher. It has a Japanese style décor. Ceilings look to be about 10 ft. and the doors look to be about 9 ft. All the woodwork is dark, the doors are dark and very heavy, and it all has an expensive, classic feel. There is lots of inset lighting, all with sliding rheostats and lots of table lamps and a washer & dryer (detergent & softener were provided). The lanai overlooks what I believe is the Hapuna Golf Course, with a 180+ degree view of the ocean. We sat there in the morning drinking Kona coffee and watched whales, cargo ships and what I assume were pleasure boats move about on the ocean and greens keepers attending to the golf course. In the evening the view is the lights of Kawaihae, a small port village about 3 miles north of Hapuna Beach. The condo rental includes access to the activity center for the Wai'ula'ula complex. It consists of an exercise room, a kitchen, an outside grill area, an inside activity area, an outside hot tub (which is actually hot) and an infinity pool. The area is nice, clean and well cared for. We visited there twice during our week long stay and it wasn’t busy either time. One time there were two others at the pool and the second time no one was there but us. Take towels with you as none are provided there. We did buy the Hapuna Beach Prince and Mauna Kea package for access to the both hotel’s amenities. We really enjoyed our stay. Bottom line, the condo was awesome, we would stay there again in a heartbeat.

We loved this condo! The location, above Mauna Kea, was perfect for the destination wedding we were attending. The view was fabulous - lots of ocean and palm tress! The condo had a well stocked kitchen and comfortably slept 2 couples. Very peacful and quiet! Just what we wanted!
