The Beach House at Bluffs #22

You gave us the trip of a lifetime in November 2017... you did it again this time around! So loved the fresh orchids, every room in this gorgeous house, the incredible pool, Lanai, lush tropical plants, and the stunning sunsets. We used every inch of Mauna Kea and Hapuna and your welcoming home. Can't thank you enough. Mahalo!

Awesome House!

Aloha, Bluffs 22 is an absolutely awesome house! Our family of 9 (6 adults and 3 children under 5) thoroughly enjoyed the spacious home and outstanding pool and Lanai! The sandy beach area and kiddie pool was perfect for the little ones! We thank you for opening your home for us. Wonderful memories were made here and we truly hope to come back! Mahalo,

We had an amazing time at this property. Comfortable and well outfitted, we loved having this as a home base for our adventures. Kids spent most of the day in the beautiful pool. Loves the access to beaches, and bedrooms were perfect. Excellent for groups both small and large. We hope to come back one day!

Description

Nestled on over an acre within the prestigious Bluffs enclave on the Kohala Coast, Mauna Kea Resort Bluffs 22 – The Beach House is an oceanview estate where curated design, effortless luxury, and authentic island living flow together in perfect balance. With 8,141 square feet of refined interiors and expansive outdoor spaces framed by palms and lava rock, this home brings the best of the Big Island to your front door. Steps from Hapuna Beach and moments from Mauna Kea Beach, it is a private haven for families, couples, and groups seeking a warm, welcoming retreat with a true sense of place.

What You’ll Love About Mauna Kea Resort Bluffs 22 – The Beach House
• Regulation-length 25-meter infinity pool with lava stone detailing and panoramic ocean views
• Multiple wading pools including a soft sand-bottom splash zone for little ones
• Spa-inspired ensuites with soaking tubs and secluded outdoor garden showers
• Elevated primary suite with ocean-view balcony and a private mountain-view bath patio
• Multiple indoor-outdoor great rooms designed for gathering, reading, music, and sunset watching

Living & Dining
The great rooms welcome you with warm wood details, soaring ceilings, and a natural flow between indoors and out. Slide open the glass walls and settle into softly cushioned seating as ocean breezes drift through. A baby grand piano anchors the space with quiet elegance, inviting impromptu melodies and long, peaceful evenings.

Multiple lounge areas ensure everyone can find their own favorite spot, whether that is a sunlit reading corner, a conversation nook overlooking the pool, or the media room designed for cozy movie nights. The dining room’s handcrafted table glows under soft lighting, creating an inviting setting for shared meals and memorable conversations.

Chef-Ready Kitchen
Thoughtfully designed for both chefs and casual cooks, the kitchen features professional appliances, spacious prep areas, a large center island, and an array of high-end tools including a food processor, rice cooker, juicer, mixer, ice machine, and wine fridge. Morning coffee is easy at the bar counter, while the open layout lets everyone gather comfortably as meals come together.

Outdoor Oasis
The estate’s outdoor living is a world of its own. The 25-meter infinity pool mirrors the dramatic coastline while wading pools create a playful, family-friendly zone. A heated spa sits just beyond, perfect for stargazing after dusk. Alfresco dining for twelve invites relaxed meals framed by ocean views, and the outdoor kitchen makes entertaining seamless.

Lanai spaces unfold across the property: shaded lounges, garden seating, and sunlit daybeds all overlooking swaying palms and the blue horizon. Retreat to the private yard for sunset views or morning quiet among tropical landscaping.

Feb 26, 2023 It wasn’t perfect, but pretty close to it. Beautiful property, probably best suited for a vacation of up to four couples, or families with older children. The toddler in our group kept us on our toes due to the layout of pool and other water features. Kitchen was well stocked with great appliances, cookware, etc. Beds were extremely comfortable, clean and comfy furniture, lovely outdoor seating and dining area. Warm salt water swimming pool and spa were heavenly! Irene, our property manager did a fabulous job! Not so great aspects: the house is, as stated, 300 yards above the Westin Hapuna Hotel, which means part of your view is the back of the hotel. There were a couple of leaks (ceiling and kitchen sink), a too cool hot tub, and a broken wine refrigerator, all of which were quickly addressed by the property manager. The louvered doors in the bedrooms need a good dusting, otherwise everything was very clean. I highly recommend hiring the private chef, who cooked for us twice and left abundant, delicious leftovers. After our daughter’s wedding on the beach, Rowland cooked a fabulous celebration dinner. I also recommend Babiesnbeaches for anyone with children. Mahalo to everyone who helped us create a magical week. Debra M
Apr 17, 2024 Wonderful Week We spent a wonderful week at The Beach house with our children & grandkids. The place is incredible - amazing architecture, decor & WOW views from every angle. Time went just too fast. The Fisher Family
Apr 17, 2024 Spectacular Vacation We had a spectacular vacation at this lovely home. The view is amazing & the pool is to die for.

Apr 18, 2024 Dream Vacation The six of us loved being in this home. Thank you for opening your doors to us. We were supposed to be here a year ago, but due to covid-19 needed to push our trip back a year. Even a year later, this place has been a dream vacation for the family. To future guests: - see as many sunrises and sunsets as you can! - go snorkeling with manta - check out the whole island - drink a lot of wine :) Kell Family

Apr 18, 2024 Incredible Home! Aloha, As if Hawaii weren't beautiful enough on its own, our stay in your incredible home was memorable. My family found their personal spaces abundant in size & amenities. The lanai provided sunsets that were priceless. The pool was refreshing & felt as if we were swimming in our own private lagoon. We relished our time here & hope all who have the opportunity to visit will enjoy it as much as we did! Mahalo, Deutsch Family

Apr 23, 2024 Unforgettable Holiday What an unforgettable holiday here in this beautiful home and grounds - truly a slice of heaven!

Thank you for this time of rest and renewal. Jan & Mary H.
Apr 23, 2024 Mahalo! 🌺 Aloha, Thank you #22 bluffs for an amazing week of sun, swimming, and stars.

We look forward to visiting again in the future. from me and my chosen family from Minnesota. Mahalo! 🌺 Caitlin W.
Apr 23, 2024 Wonderful Stay Aloha! Thank you for a wonderful stay at the Beach House. We had an amazing week, and having this calming retreat to come home to allowed us to have amazing adventures. Our 8-year-old says that his favorite part of the house is the "cozy room" - that's the media room! The other boys loved the pool and the gorgeous view of the sunset. As for me? I can't choose just one thing - I loved it all. What an incredible vacation; thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. Mahalo! Caleb F.
Apr 23, 2024 Beautiful Home Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. It brought our family such joy to be together for Christmas. Your home "hugs" you when you enter the front door. Every detail is so well thought out & have noticed some Swedish touches too. I hope we can return soon. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The Herbst Family

Sep 23, 2024 Beautiful home! Aloha! We loved our stay at this beautiful home. Comfortable, spotlessly clean and with every amenity one could want! The gorgeous pool is reason enough to call this an exceptional vacation spot, but truly, the elegance of the estate set in a true paradise earns the place an exceptional rating. We will return!

Sep 23, 2024 Wonderful stay! Aloha! We have had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous home. I loved all the hardwood details throughout the house as well as the incredible view of the pool + ocean from my room. Peter M
Jul 03, 2024 We loved it and hated to leave. We had a family gathering for the ages! Bluffs 22- The Beach House - could not have been a more perfect place for our extended family. We loved it and hated to leave. Thomas Donnelly

Dec 02, 2025 Beautiful Home! The home and environment were beautiful, peaceful, bright and restorative. I loved all the water features, including the ability to take a completely private outdoor shower. During the day, the pool,and the views of the ocean were exactly what I wanted. At night, the tiki torches and the way they reflected in the water and windows created a magical environment for dining, story telling, and creating the quintessential Hawaiian experience. Parker N
