The space
Welcome to Kaunaʻoa 9A, a spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath luxury townhome offering 3,132 square feet of indoor–outdoor living in the heart of the Mauna Kea Resort. Perfect for families and groups, this two-story residence combines the comforts of home with the amenities of a five-star resort, all within walking distance of two of Hawaii’s most beautiful white-sand beaches.

The open-concept great room features high ceilings and retractable pocket doors that blur the line between indoor comfort and outdoor living. Step onto the covered lanai to find your own private pool, hot tub, waterfall feature, BBQ grill, tiki torches, and lush tropical garden—a secluded oasis ideal for relaxing days or evening gatherings under the stars. For added convenience, four hybrid bikes with helmets are included with your rental, making it easy to explore the resort and coastline.

Inside, the home is fully equipped with a gourmet kitchen featuring Viking appliances, wine cooler, granite countertops, and all the essentials for entertaining. Multiple living spaces offer room for everyone, with central air conditioning, ceiling fans, a large HDTV, and high-speed WiFi with a dedicated workspace.

Kaunaʻoa 9A features two master suites—one upstairs with a private lanai overlooking the ocean and stunning sunset views, and one downstairs that opens directly onto the pool area. Two additional guest bedrooms, each with en suite baths, ensure comfort for families or friends traveling together. With a mix of king and queen beds plus a pull-out sofa, the home provides flexible sleeping arrangements.

As a guest, you’ll also enjoy access to the Kaunaʻoa Club, featuring a Weiskopf-designed 3-hole practice golf course, infinity-edge pool, oversized hot tub, and fitness center. Please note: the clubhouse and fitness center are currently open from 10am–2pm daily, while the practice course is available all day.

For those seeking more, the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and Westin Hapuna Beach Resort are just a short walk away. Guests may purchase resort privileges, which include use of hotel pools, spas, fitness centers, tennis courts, golf at preferred rates, and convenient charging privileges at restaurants, lounges, and shops.

With its private backyard sanctuary, thoughtful amenities, and close proximity to resort beaches and activities, Kaunaʻoa 9A is a warm and welcoming choice for your Big Island escape.
