Kolea Villas

A quiet, gated enclave of roomy villas a short walk from A-Bay, where a private oceanside pool club and a calm, turtle-filled beach sit just past your door. Best for families and multi-generation groups who want to walk to the sand, shops and dinner without staying in a big resort hotel.

What guests say

Guests love

  • Oceanside beach club pool. The club pool and big hot tub look out over the bay, with a sandy-bottom kids pool, morning coffee and a gated path straight down to the beach.
  • Turtles in calm A-Bay. Guests describe a calm, sandy swimming beach where sea turtles show up often, gentle enough for toddlers to splash in.
  • Walk to shops and dinner. Sidewalks and a shoreline path lead to Kings Shops, Queens Marketplace, a grocery store and Lava Lava Beach Club; older kids can even roam on their own.
  • Lanais that open fully. Many villas have glass walls that slide away to a big lanai with an outdoor grill, and guests across the complex say they ate most meals outside.

Worth knowing

  • A calm, rules-heavy pool. The club pool bans floats, balls and roughhousing, and quiet hours start at 8 pm; a few guests also found it small and loud with kids at busy times.
  • Views vary a lot. Many villas look onto grounds, mountains or other buildings rather than the water.
  • AC often capped at 72. Several owners lock thermostats at 72 or manage them remotely, and some guests found bedrooms warm or stuffy at night.
Choosing a unit: Ground-floor villas open onto shared lawns that kids love, though a couple of guests noted geckos and bugs getting in; upper floors are where guests mention partial ocean views.

We have stayed at this property before, different unit. The landscaping and maintenance on the property is unmatched. Absolutely stunning quiet and peace full to say the least . Great pool, hot tub, and mini gym. Beach access does not disappoint. This unit is beautiful and big, kitchen and cookware are all on point. So many cooking utensils and equipment to host any type of meal. Ac is 10 and great air movement from the ceiling fans. We would stay here over and over again. The activity toys, goggles, flippers, ice chest and fold out chairs! All ready for you to enjoy. Absolutely love this spot! 10/10

Our family of six absolutely loved this property and appreciate how EJ ( host) and team went the extra mile to accommodate our requests. We enjoyed our brief stay to the max- beach club, easy access to beach and clean, well stocked home. Communication with the host was a breeze and they did everything to ensure a relaxing vacation for my group.

Clean, large open space and very nice location within the property. Very close to pool and not too far from the main entrance. You can walk to the beach nearby and to the shops down the road. Very quiet area and did not feel overcrowded. The construction of the new property across the street did not bother us as we were up early and spent most of the day out and about. This is our new favorite property in Waikoloa.Host was responsive within 24 hours once we arrived when we discovered some amenities needed attention in the unit. Some details to share with other guests on the unit: Coffee: there is a small bag of coffee for the coffee maker so if you plan to have coffee I would pick up a larger bag of beans or grounds on your way in (coffee grinder in the unit).Laundry: we loved that the laundry room was stocked but we over purchased some items ahead of check in so you may want to wait to purchase extra items, though you run the risk of paying more at the local market vs target/Walmart closer to the airport.Critters: this unit is on the ground floor which means, easier access for the critters :) not something that particularly bothered us but there were a few little geckos, beetles that made their way into our unit despite closing the doors promptly after opening. Baby and beach items: there is gear in the garage, wish this was more explicitly shared on the listing as we rented items or brought our own for the stay. Nice property overall, we would stay again!

What a good find! Such a comfy home for the five adults in our group. Right across the way from the pool and easy beach access. Beautifully decorated, comfortable beds and a great way to hang out with family. Love the area for us as we traveled to enjoy a coffee farm, Manta Rey night swims, and beach time.

Great stay at 10D. Everything went smoothly and a great location near A-Bay and across from the main pool.

the condo was spacious and had a ton of thoughtful amenities that I haven't experienced in a lot of other stays at other places. The kitchen had all one could ever need and little things like the knives were actually sharp. The beach things were plentiful - boards, umbrella, multiple chairs etc. The owners were very responsive both before and during our stay when we ran into a problem. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Please be aware that if you rent from this company that you may not get what you expect. The location is wonderful but the unit itself had problems. We rented this rather than a hotel for the kitchen so we could make meals. The oven was not working (same happened in another review in May 2026) and they did not fix it during our entire stay but offered a toaster oven. In addition, the shower head in one of the bathrooms was dirty, the air vents were filthy, the furniture is dirty and uncomfortable. The refrigerator on the balcony does not work. The company (CB Islands) would only refund us a little less than the cost of one day of our stay even though we had to incur additional expenses for eating out because we could not do the meals we planned. And I had to really push for even that. It was very disappointing and I would not trust this company.

We had a Great vacation in Unit 3b at Kolea. The view and property are even better in person. We loved sitting on the lanai in the morning and really loved the welcome chocolates and nuts. Wendee was great to work with and Ty (maybe TJ, sorry I can’t quite remember) was great at providing us everything we needed and helpful when we arrived! Having the three bedrooms each with their own beautiful bathrooms was awesome. Just can’t say enough good things. If you’re thinking about renting this unit it’s well worth it! We will definitely stay here again next time we come!!!
