We enjoyed the convenient location of this condo for exploring the Kohala Coast. The written instructions for finding it were very detailed and helpful and we appreciated being able to do laundry and borrow beach chairs. As others have noted, the owner left a generous platter of fruit. While this is an expensive area to stay in, our experience felt like a poor value. All the knives were dull, even for cutting a papaya; the fridge light was broken; there was no kettle for boiling water and just one kitchen towel. The toilet makes a loud, high pitched sound every time it gets flushes; the light in the shower is broken; and there are not enough towel bars or hooks for bath and hand towels. The sofa bed in the living room is very soft and saggy. There was no guide with any tips for what to do with the trash, where to buy groceries, etc. While the owner was responsive to specific questions, we had minimal communication with her. We had a much more positive experience in Kona for a fraction of the cost.

This condo was very well appointed and a very open floor plan, with the bedrooms being on opposite sides. The patio was amazing too. So close to everything in waikoloa. The only issues, which has nothing to with the owners, is the quiet hours starting at 9 pm. You can’t enjoy the patio after that if you are a lively bunch, but can inside. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and Maria’s condo was a perfect place to stay! It had everything we needed including beach chairs and an umbrella. The king sized bed was so comfortable and we loved sitting on the comfy lanai chairs in the morning and evening. Maria’s communication with us was excellent before and during our stay and we’re looking forward to staying here on our next visit!

This is the most well stocked and what I call appointed condo I have rented in the last 10 years. Great king size bed, lots of towels for beach and bath, a great assortment of small appliances in the kitchen. Beach gear was wonderful and good quality. Nice appliances. We would absolutely rent again.

Great location for beaches, shopping, exploring the rest of the island. Appreciated beach towels and chairs. Wish there would’ve been a coffee bean grinder. Other than that, it was perfect for our needs.

My husband & I spent 8 days at Maria's condo and would definitely stay there again! It was SO comfortable - we had everything we needed except fresh food! Maria's communications were exceptional! You need her good directions to find the condo in the DARK!! We ate nearly every meal sitting on the very comfy lanai! Loved the nice shower!! Thank you Maria!!

Before I review the property I would like to praise the people at Kona Coast vacations. They were polite, attentive and responsive. They resolved an appliance issue quickly and effectively even BEFORE we arrived and went out of their way not to disrupt our vacation. It was much appreciated.
The unit was a good size, with a large Lanai and king size beds and well stocked. The location was good for the needs of 2 couples who like peace and quiet. The complex has a good pool and several good BBQs in 3 different locations. We are hoping to return next year.

It was very nice, spacious, great Lanai, and great location.
Would just recommend some more maintenance to fix some things like screen door to patio, lamps in living room, the safe. And just some more attention to cleaning.

The home was sparkling clean and very well appointed with new high end appliances. The view from the huge balcony was private and beautiful looking out over hardened lava flows and the mountain of Mauna Kea.
One of the best beaches and sunset viewing on the Big Island is a short walk.
The home is very well located to enjoy all the best beaches.

Place is located comfortably close to the Hilton resort, the markets, and Waikoloa Beach.
Aside from a minor light fixture issue and rather dirty floors, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

For visiting the sites and beaches of the northwest corner, this property is great for two people. The quiet hours were appreciated, no loud parties in to the late evening. Well equipped kitchen. Easy parking. Large patio with furniture.

Spacious condo and amazing covered lanai with a view of the koi pond and pool. Full kitchen with many of the things you'd have at home. I appreciated having glass containers for food/leftovers, baking sheets, and foil. Gym is well equipped and there are two tennis courts. Along with many beach toys, there were two pickleball paddles and balls. It's very quiet in this gated community but just a short ride to the shops, and beaches nearby. I would stay here again!

Very open, bright, and spacious. Lots of window around corner unit. Large lanai. Well stocked kitchen and lots of beach accessories. Easy access from assigned parking. The only thing missing for us was a view. Lots of foliage around lanai was pretty and gave privacy, but I prefer a view. Great area for walking! Walked for coffee every morning.

This home was clean and comfortable with thoughtful touches like beach chairs and snorkel gear. The property manager was responsive and helpful, calling us upon arrival and bringing us more bath towels. The community was well-maintained and centrally located within a larger resort community with quick access to A-Bay beach, restaurants, shops & more. We'd recommend and we'll return!
