❤️PiH❤️STARFISH★Best Views in Kulalani★Elegance and Luxury ★ Bikes

Brought to you by Paradise in Hawaii Luxury Homes.

Welcome to Starfish House, a part of our Hawaiian Luxury Collection. The owners are the same as that of Sea Glass House at KaMilo which is one of our most elegant homes. Like Sea Glass and its best location in KaMilo, Starfish has the best location and views in Kulalani. The home is in new and overlooks the golf green and a massive pond on the Mauna Lani north course. From the wrap around porch you can watch the Hawaiian wildlife visit the pond including herds of goats (baby goats are so cute) and lots of magnificent birds. This is a bird watchers paradise.

This model is the larger Kulalani 3 bedroom in the fourplex which sports a large living room with lanai/patio windows on two walls to open up the entire living room to the outdoors. The covered lanai wraps around the living room providing lots of afternoon shade. The home also sports a private large double garage meaning there is no concern about parking.

Starfish House provides a perfect setting for your Hawaii getaway and is designed for large groups of up to 8 people. It is a sophisticated, inviting, welcoming, relaxing luxurious home for your Hawaiian vacation.

Fast WiFi with great coverage included!

We know our Guests look forward to an exceptional experience from the moment you start planning your Big Island vacation. We've incorporated all of our vacationing experiences from Hawaii and around the world, to ensure you have an exceptional stay.

We love friends & families

Big Island is such a wonderful place to spend with your friends and family, children and grandchildren. Vacations create such wonderful memories; we hope is this trip will be one of your fondest family memories and that you'll return year after year.

Starfish House is a 3 bedroom home that is exquisitely furnished.

The Primary Bedroom is on the main floor and features a spa-like ensuite complete with a soaker tub.
The second bedroom sports a King bed.
The third bedroom features two full size beds.

​​​​​​​
The living room features a 65" Ultra HD 4K TV.

The private grill is perfect for bringing home the fresh catch of the day or veggies from one of the many farmers markets.

Each of the three lanais are tastefully furnished for your comfort and enjoyment. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, a new job, retirement, or simply celebrating the sunshine, our home is sure to create a great experience.

Beyond building an elegant, yet comfortable furnished home, we know its often the small surprises and conveniences that make all the difference.

Examples include:

• High-end luxury mattresses in all bedrooms for your comfort and enjoyment
• Luxurious high end bedding for all beds
• Luxurious towels
• Spa shampoos, soaps and lotions

• A fully equipped kitchen for all of your cooking, baking and BBQing needs
• High end blender for making great smoothies and other tropical drinks
• Large selection of vinegars, oils and spices
• Starter pack of Kona coffee & collection of teas
• Popcorn

For your day at the Beach:

We love building really big sand castles. Kohala sand is exceptional for this and we have the tools for kids and adults alike. For your day at the beach, you'll find

• Comfortable beach chairs, beach mats, umbrella's, sand toys and sandcastle making equipment, volleyball and football

• Large collection of snorkel gear in multiple sizes so you can share the wonders of the ocean

• Boogie boards to enjoy playing in the waves

• Life jackets, swim belts for the younger ones

• Large wheeled cooler and tupperware containers for your beach picnic

Enjoy our collection of bikes (adult, youth and kids with helmets and locks) allowing you to explore the Mauna Lani resort. They are great for going to the Private Beach Club (access included), exploring the Black Sand Beach, historical grounds, Fairmont resort hotel or the many other wonderful places that Mauna Lani has to offer. Ask us about deals on a GEM Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (Golf cart) rental for even more family fun.

For those with children;

Having traveled with our kids when they were young we know how difficult it is to lug all the baby equipment. Our goal is to make your life easier so we have equipped our vacation home with:
• Pack 'n Play
• High chair
• Baby monitors
• Bed safety rails

Things to do:

Staying in Kulalani gives you full access to its Recreation Center with fitness equipment and multiple hot tubs and lap pool, free form pool and kiddie pool.

You can also take advantage of the clean private beach club staffed with lifeguards and the Napua Restaurant just two miles away. Excellent snorkeling in calm waters!

A short drive away are the six (6) of the most spectacular beaches in Hawaii including Beach 69, Hapuna beach and the breath-taking Mauna Kea beach.

The Kohala coast is a golfer's paradise with seven (7) challenging courses all within 7 miles of our villa.

Minutes down the street is the Shops at Mauna Lani where you can find super-market, coffee shops, restaurants, clothing and accessory stores, art, and free weekly entertainment in the evenings.

For larger groups ask us about renting homes next door / across the street so the entire group can all stay near each other.

Starfish House is within the Mauna Lani resort, close to both Auberge and Fairmont Hotels.. Make Starfish your home, extend your conference stay!

Exceptional property — great for families!

My expectations were exceeded by this exceptional property, and I would definitely rent again. We had everything we needed for an amazing vacation. From the well appointed kitchen to the look and feel of the decor, we were treated to a stay that was luxurious with the comfort of home. The outdoor lanais offered spectacular views at sunrise and all throughout the day of the adjacent golf course. We took joy in watching the golfers (some good, others less so!) and the periodic families of goats roaming through that would help “cut” the grass. The availability of beach equipment, bikes, and towels meant we had nothing to worry about but to load up the car for our adventures. The community pool was a 5 minute walk away and was clean, spacious, and fun for the entire family. The workout facility in the community area was also a nice perk and had ample space and equipment. It was clear that many guests and residents used both the pool and workout facility, and both were well maintained.The property management company was extremely communicative and very responsive to any requests we had of them. They sent clear and detailed check-in information well in advance of our trip and texted to confirm we had all of the necessary details.Within a 5 minute drive was a local grocery store that served our needs well, and within a 15 minute drive was the Waikoloa Beach Resort area with additional grocery options, shopping, and dining.

Lovely family reunion

We booked Starfish house after seeing the beautiful pictures on line and, upon arrival, it did not disappoint!!! We were in need of sleeping for 8 and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Our party of 4 couples were able to make full meals with the high quality appliances and well-stocked dish and drink ware.. This trip meant a lot to all of us for many reasons and the Starfish house was the perfect host. Thank you so much for making your beautiful home available to our family.

Nicely equipped

Property was clean and modern. Kitchen well equipped. Took a while to figure out all the remotes for TV but worked it out. A concern was the termites eating the stair landing, which they should address before more damage occurs (sent them an email). Quiet neighborhood. Lots of wild goats on the golf course.

Great for families

There is a lot to love about this rental unit. The Master is absolutely palatial, the view and location on the back is stunning and quiet, and the garage is full of everything you could possibly need on a family vacation in Hawaii. We also loved the private beach and the pools and fitness center are fantastic. Some of the downsides; the mattress on the master bed and second bedroom is very soft and uncomfortable (very easy fix). The front of this unit faces a construction site that has been dormant for 2 years - it's not really a problem, just very unattractive. We also found that the layout of the kitchen and dining room was not ideal. All in all we had a great stay but it's just not perfect.

Quiet, beautiful townhome

Beautiful property, exactly as described. Quiet neighborhood, which was great for us. Close enough to Fairmont Orchid to walk easily for a conference. Pool area was very nice. Access to beach club was a plus. Many toys in the garage- were wonderful to use. Large main bedroom with walkin closet and spacious bath. Great communication with hosts, excellent information about the unit. Views are golf course and mountains. Kitchen was very well appointed. Few little items were not ideal. Could not figure out some of the fans and could not get them to do anything other than very fast. Outdoor grill was used a lot and a very nice feature- but cooked very hot. Easy to adjust to once we knew that.

New Years in a Hawaiian paradise.

We have just spent a great week at the Coconut Telegraph house in the Mauna Lani resort and could not be happier with our experience. Our group of six enjoyed a great week together and included myself and my wife with our two adult daughters and grandson as well as the BFF of one of our daughters. There was plenty of room for our group to spread out and sleeping arrangements were easy. With a bathroom for each bedroom there was no waiting for showers, etc. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking utensils and dishes, so meal prep was easy. We used the outside grill several times as well. Eating out on the lanai was very pleasant as was just relaxing outside. Sitting outside in the morning listening to the many birds and having coffee is something that we miss now. There was easy access to several beautiful beaches which we took advantage of and the beach equipment that was in the garage was helpful. We enjoyed visiting the volcano and recommend a visit to the Greenwell Farms coffee farm to see how Kona coffee is grown and processed. We were also able to go whale watching, watch manta rays feed in the ocean at night, and our daughters took surfing lessons. The fitness facility and pools were also easy to access, very well equipped and enjoyed by our family. Overall this is a great property and we highly recommend it.

Christmas in HI

This is a very nice home, very comfortable and the lanai with the view over the golf course is beautiful. We took full advantage of that, taking in the sunrise every morning with all the bird calls. Does sleep eight (comfortable beds!) but it required sharing the large master bath (off the very nice large master bedroom) with some of our daughters in order to make the two full baths work when all of us were getting ready to go out at the same time, but that was a workable solution. Large water heater and so there was never an issue with the hot water supply. Parking the second car was no hassle really, with a spot at the next unit over. The garage is for two cars but with all the outdoor gear they provide, there is really only room for one car. Close to a small grocery store, easily walkable. Used going4groceries.com for our initial needs in order to avoid that stop after a long flight (property management provides them with a temporary access code to deliver the groceries ahead of your arrival). Well equipped kitchen with a lot of small appliances to use and plenty of dishes. Short walk to a nice pool with separate lap pool and workout room. The access to the beach at Mauna Lani is a bonus and has good snorkeling water, where we were able to swim with and observe some beautiful/interesting fish. Depending on how far out you went within the resort’s mapped area, the water was up to 20’ deep. Responsive local property management. Two virtually new adult bikes were delivered same day that we pointed out that two of the bikes provided were out of commission for various reasons.

Beautiful home with a couple minor issues

The house was stunning and had a perfect location at the end of the development. More than enough room for 4 adults and 2 children (including grandparents). We loved our time here and loved the views out the huge glass windows on the lower floor, and the privacy by it bordering the golf course. Only minor issue we had was curtains breaking and not being addressed, and a flat tire on the kids bike that they never had someone come out to look at, despite being responsive to our request. I would love to stay here again though!

Beautiful property

This was a very nice property. Would highly recommend the Mauna Lani area as a base for seeing the island. Nice associated facilities. Foodland and some shops are short walk or minutes-drive always. Adjacent resort shopping less than 10 minutes drive away. Hapuna Beach (Conde Nast #1) is less than 10 minutes away, gorgeous. The resort private beach and various walkable shore areas and sights and are quite nice too. The management are responsive to needs.

Many Beautiful Birds

We had a great time here it is a beautiful home. The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked at hone every day. The owners were very thoughtful and provided sporting equipment and bicycles. The beach club has excellent snorkeling and a relaxed atmosphere. We liked the proximity to the grocery. The TV’s worked great. The view from the lanai was gorgeous and we saw many birds. The only downside was the early check out at 10 am. We thought we would be able to hang around at the pool for a few hours as our flights were in the evening. This is standard at most hotels. The pool attendant asked us to leave the premises because we did not have our room key. The facility should provide guest passes for departure days. It really left us feeling sour after a great vacation. We also could not find any information on the bicycle cart that was shared by the complex. Some in our party were enthusiastic about using this but we couldn’t find anyone who knew anything about it.

Perfect set up fir our family of 6!

The starfish house was exactly as we pictured it- from the grand staircase to the bikes for all 6 of us, everything was amazing! We loved sitting outside on the lanai for coffee during the sunrise and cocktails during sunset. The beds were so comfortable, and the kitchen was perfectly stocked. We loved everything about our stay! So grateful for such a great place to stay after a year stuck in quarantine!

Big Island Treat

Stayed here exactly one year after having to cancel our 2020 trip due to Covid. The owners were very accommodating in allowing us to switch our reservation, and the wait was well worth it. The house was perfect for our family of 5, plus grandparents. We loved how secluded it was at the end of the development, and the views out the back of the golf course were spectacular. One advantage of staying in Mauna Lani is access to the private beach club. This is a perfect beach for calm water, good snorkeling, and relaxing in the sun, and is just a short drive away. The house was also well stocked with things to make a beach trip easy—chairs, coolers, boogey boards, etc and is a nice touch that another house we previously stayed at lacked. My kids also loved making use of the bikes! They woke up early each morning and would ride up and down the quiet street before breakfast. The house was as advertised. We usually prefer a firmer mattress, but had no issues falling and staying asleep on these softer beds (I had seen other comments about this). The kitchen had plenty of everything for eating and cooking, and even had some simple spices and other basic necessities that cost a fortune if you have to buy them all individually. We messaged the owners about a small issue with one of the lights not working and they responded right away. It was easy to find the house and check in with the provided instructions, even in the dark. We love the Big Island and will hopefully be back in the next couple of years and would love to stay here again! Thanks for everything!
