The Azure at Mauna Kea: Relaxed Luxury + Ocean Views + Resort Option

Newly renovated and thoughtfully designed, The Azure is a relaxed-luxury home in the Mauna Kea Resort uplands with panoramic ocean, golf course and palm views. Enjoy a brand-new kitchen and appliances, refreshed baths, and hand-selected furnishings throughout. Ocean blues, warm Hawaiian light, and a 400 sq ft lanai bring the island in—creating a beautiful, comfortable home made for slowing down, reconnecting and unwinding. Mauna Kea & Hapuna beaches are minutes away. The resort pass is optional.

THE SPACE
The name “The Azure” comes from the blues of the Pacific and Hawaiian sky that meet along the horizon beyond the home. When we reimagined the space, that view became our inspiration.

We wanted the home to feel connected to the landscape outside—layers of ocean blues, warm whites, natural textures and carefully chosen artwork carry that feeling throughout.

Every detail was selected with both beauty and comfort in mind. Rather than outfitting The Azure like a typical vacation rental, we chose each piece individually from local island shops and some of our favorite design houses, including Serena & Lily, Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel. Many pieces were even shipped from Washington to bring the vision together.

More than anything, we wanted The Azure to be a place where you can slow down, rest and reconnect with the people you came with. Whether you came to the Big Island for adventure, golf, tennis, long days in the ocean or a little of everything, The Azure is a peaceful and inviting place to come home to at the end of the day.

INDOOR + OUTDOOR LIVING
The 400 sq ft covered lanai is an extension of the home and one of our favorite places to be. Morning coffee. An afternoon with a book. Dinner around the table. Conversations that stretch into the evening. Nowhere you need to be.

Trade winds often move gently through the home. Open the lanai slider and windows on the opposite side—with the screens closed—to create a natural cross breeze, or enjoy central air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout.

BEDROOMS
The Azure sleeps a maximum of four guests.

The primary bedroom features a King bed with a brand-new Sealy Posturepedic mattress and its own full bathroom.

The second bedroom features a King bed with brand-new Tempur-Pedic mattresses that can also be prepared as two separate Twin XL beds—just let us know which arrangement you prefer before arrival.

Both bedrooms include blackout shades for a restful night's sleep.

For families traveling with little ones, a travel crib with mattress and high chair are available, along with kid-friendly dishes and utensils, toys and beach gear.

KITCHEN
The brand-new kitchen was designed to be as enjoyable for an easy breakfast as it is for dinner at home. It includes an induction range, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, blender and rice cooker.

Coffee lovers have options: a drip coffee maker, Chemex pour-over, French press and coffee grinder are provided, along with coffee and supplies to get your first mornings started.

BEACH DAYS
We want heading to the beach to be easy. The garage is stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, snorkel gear, boogie boards, children's beach toys and floaties—take what you need and enjoy.

LAUNDRY + PARKING
A brand-new, full-size LG washer and dryer are located inside the home, with detergent and stain remover provided.

The home also has a one-car garage, although we primarily use it for beach gear and storage because the garage and driveway are quite tight. Guests are welcome to use the open parking spaces on either side of Building E.

KUMULANI
The Azure is a ground-floor home in Kumulani, a peaceful, gated 40-unit community in the Uplands of Mauna Kea Resort. Two of Hawaiʻi's beautiful white-sand beaches are just a few minutes down the hill, and Kona International Airport (KOA) is about a 30-minute drive.

Kumulani has its own recreation center with a pool and spa, and Mauna Kea Resort provides 24-hour security.

Come home from the beach, take your shoes off at the door, open the doors to the coastal breeze and settle in.

OPTIONAL MAUNA KEA RESORT ACCESS

You do not need to purchase resort access to have a wonderful stay at The Azure. Kumulani's pool and spa are included with your stay, and beautiful public beaches including Hāpuna Beach and Waialea Bay are nearby.

A NOTE ABOUT ISLAND LIVING
Hawaiʻi's tropical environment is naturally home to insects, geckos, and other wildlife. The Azure is professionally treated and maintained for pest control; however, NO HOME IN A TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT CAN BE GUARANTEED COMPLETELY PEST-FREE. From time to time, guests may encounter an insect, gecko or other island visitor inside or around the home despite our regular preventative treatment and careful cleaning.

The occasional presence of tropical pests does not indicate that the home is improperly cleaned or maintained and, by itself, is not grounds for a refund, cancellation or relocation. If you notice an issue during your stay, please let us know promptly so we have the opportunity to address it.

Guests can help by keeping exterior doors and screens closed, keeping food sealed, cleaning up crumbs and spills promptly, and never leaving food or trash outside overnight.

LOCATION + ISLAND LIFE
The Azure is located in the Uplands of Mauna Kea Resort, mauka (mountain side) of the highway. We are a short drive down to the beaches rather than directly on the sand. Two of Hawaiʻi's beautiful white-sand beaches are only a few minutes away.

A rental car is recommended. Kona International Airport (KOA) is approximately 30 minutes away.

A QUIET RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY
Kumulani is a peaceful residential community, and many of our neighbors live here year-round. Maximum occupancy is four guests, and quiet hours are 9:00 PM–8:00 AM. Sound carries easily between lanais, so we ask guests to be especially mindful of outdoor conversation and music in the evening.

No parties or events, pets, smoking or vaping are permitted.

PRIVATE RESIDENCE
The Azure is a privately owned residence. Participation in the Mauna Kea Resort Residential Guest Program is optional and separate from your reservation.
