The location is excellent. Right across from the pool and hot tub. Gold membership for golf was great. Quiet neighborhood.

We received timely communications from Lin prior to our visit, and she even checked in with us at the end of our stay. The apartment was cute, clean, and furnished with everything we needed, including extra linens. The lanai was spacious, and the walk-in shower was amazing. The stackable washer and dryer actually worked, and the kitchen was quite functional. The icing on the cake was the lovely fruit Lin left for us.

Outstanding!! We’re definitely going to stay at Martin and Rochelle’s property again when visiting the big island next year. They were incredibly kind and caring hosts and were always readily to assist when needed. The property was beautiful and very well kept. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We loved it.

We enjoyed having the beach supplies available. The terrace was nice to use after long days touring. One suggestion would be for lounge chairs on the terrace not only upright chairs.

The place was immaculate, the location was fantastic and in a gated community, and the host was very responsive to needs. The only minor nuisances were that the floor outside the bedroom was extremely squeaky, and you had to squeeze behind the toilet in order to close the door because the toilet room was so tiny. That said, the vanity area and shower were very roomy and luxurious! The AC was adequate, but not amazing, however, it would get down to 73 at night by opening the windows and turning on the ceiling fans. There was also a portable tower fan that was nice to aim at the bed while sleeping for extra cooling. I would definitely recommend for the price and location!

This was a great condo. The lanai was spacious and private. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking in (even has an air fryer). I will say that the master bedroom bed is very soft, but the guest room has a firmer mattress. So if you have back issues, take that into account when you choose your bedroom. There was not a large choice of restaurants nearby (that were not in the expensive hotels), so definitely plan on cooking in. The gas BBQ’s on-site are new and were clean and convenient. This condo complex is close walking distance to the beach and the shopping centers.

PROS: This place was stunning! It was nicely decorated, clean, and well stocked for any need. The view was amazing! Both bedrooms have king beds. The complex was nice and well kept. Communication was quick and informative.CONS: The one downside is only one car can be parked in the complex per unit. So if there is more than one family staying and there are multiple cars, others will have to pay for overnight parking and that's a minimum of 50 per day. The unit could use a good deep cleaning, as there was food stuck on the outside of the cabinets and hard water around the faucets. Also, the master bath shower is an open shower. Water from normal showering splatters out everywhere so you will constantly be cleaning up water. Overall, I would highly recommend. You will not be disappointed!

We had a wonderful stay at Rachelle and Martin’s condo. The condo and grounds are beautiful. The condo was spotless and so comfy and cozy. We felt safe and at home during our stay. Rachelle and Martin are fantastic and very responsive hosts. I highly recommend their property for your stay and know you will fall in love with the Big Island just like we did!

Our stay was amazing! We came for a family celebration and it did not disappoint! The description of the unit was spot on and the pictures did not due it justice! The view was beautiful and we were able to watch the sunset over the ocean. We also loved the pool and most days we had the pool to ourselves but also met some other visitors staying in the complex which we also enjoyed. We also loved the location with the restaurant and shops nearby. We also liked that beach towels and camping chairs were available to use and there was ample space for 3-4 people. The lanai with the views was our favorite part of the condo by far!! Just a few minor things, the garbage can in the kitchen could be bigger, the table on the lanai should have been cleaned prior to our arrival, and the batteries in the tv remote in the living room were going dead. However, we did request more soap and towels and the staff were prompt in responding when we asked so we could have asked for more batteries but we were leaving the next day. That being said, we will definitely stay here again!!

It was wonderful and any questions I had were handled quickly. I had a family emergency to deal with so it helped me to be near my loved ones to offer any assistance I could. My trip was not really a vacation but when I do come back for pleasure I will certainly reach out to your company. Thank you.

The villa was truly luxurious, best of any of our stays with a super equipped kitchen, bathrooms, and outdoor gear. The lanai was large enough for us to spread out and comfortably enjoy the morning and evening air. Location was terrific, and our host, Richard, quickly responded with answers and suggestions for us. Best VRBO stay ever!

Although I was initially disappointed to be charged an unexpected service fee—especially since it wasn’t clearly explained in advance—I ended up discovering a condominium that far exceeded my expectations. The amenities were well thought out and fully equipped, allowing me to enjoy a truly dreamlike vacation.As someone with limited experience booking condominiums, I didn’t fully understand the pricing structure at first. It wasn’t until I reached out to the property owner before my trip that I received a clear explanation and felt reassured.Since this property seems to be listed through Expedia, I would appreciate it if Expedia could provide more transparent and user-friendly information about fees and pricing details upfront.

Our 5-day stay at this unit was an enjoyable one. The condo is very comfortable, spacious and well-cleaned. As a corner unit on the 3rd floor, it has a very private and secure feel. In addition, this particular building’s location within the property, provides very an impressive view of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa & Hualalai from its large wrap-around lanai.The kitchen, linen closets and pantry were well-stocked with utensils, useful provisions and beach equipment, as well as interesting books and games.The community grounds are attractive and well-taken care of, with access to amenities like the pool, hot-tub and gym.The location allows easy access to a large selection of shops, restaurants, scenic walking trails and the beach.Communication with the management company was very smooth through the entire process of reserving, checking in and our stay at the property, as they were very courteous and responsive.We have stayed at a few units at The Shores at Waikōloa; all have been quite good, but this one was notably our favorite.

The property management was very responsive and professsional and accommodated our request for a slightly early check in which was great. The check in process was smooth and efficient. The unit was very clean and looks just like the listing photos. The unit is a little dated but everything was clean and comfortable and the bedding was nice. The views of the sunrises and sunsets from the lanai exceeded expectations. The unit was well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay and our kids really enjoyed having access to the Hilton’s pools and lagoon. Would definitely stay here again, so much more comfortable and convenient than a hotel.Only negative is that we had some issues with the AC not working right for a couple days of our stay. However, the property management sent someone out promptly to fix the HVAC unit and overall they were very communicative and responsive.

This property was just perfect. It was stocked with just about everything…..paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, toiletries, spices, oils and awesome beach gear! The owner Richard was the best VRBO host we have ever rented from. Would definitely stay here again! Great location and gorgeous surroundings. Beds were so comfortable and we loved that the master suites were separated for privacy from our teenager.

This was likely the nicest VRBO in which we've ever stayed. The property was immaculate and exactly as described in the listing. Martin & Rachelle were great hosts and provided lots of tips on dining, shopping, and things to do. There was a gift basket upon our arrival with beers, chocolates, and chips! Everything in the property was well organized with labels and the beach chairs/towels were a nice perk. There were a few check out duties, but that is pretty typical with most VRBO's. We would strongly recommend!

Like last time, we were welcomed with a bowl of fresh fruit!We were also delighted with all the recent updates including new countertops, floor, sleeper-sofa and TV.Great location, near King's/Queen's and A-bay. Very nice host! Lin is just amazing! What more could you ask for?
