Vista Waikoloa Reviews


We enjoyed 53 days in Vista Waikoloa and return in May 2024 for 61 days. This condo is very comfortable for daily living. The beds and furniture are excellent. The condo view is epic. Walk to shops and beach in 10 minutes. We scuba dive with Blue Wilderness of Puako. Twice each week we do the morning 2 tank boat trip. We also go to Wednesday and Saturday Farmer markets in Waimea. Our first trip to Waikoloa was 1993. Thirty years have passed and the area continues to provide an excellent Hawaii lifestyle. See you at Lava Lava Beach club for fish tacos and wonderful view. The whales were jumping in late November. Keep Smiling Steve

The location was perfect for access to beach, restaurants, shops, groceries, Hilton etc. The condo is spacious and comfortable seating. The double lanai is great for outdoor living. Cleaning could have been a little better but adequate. Our only problem was the Master bed. We had to sleep in the twin beds because it was in bad shape. All in all a good rental.

It was very relaxing, a nice respite after a week of hectic travelling around. The Vista unit D201 has a great view, very private balcony with very comfortable furniture and a nice private dining area. The unit itself is bright, clean and tastefully decorated. It is well equipped with everything you would need and very comfortable. We loved it.

We stayed here instead of staying at the hotel, where a conference was taking place. So happy to have the extra living space, although we spent almost all of our time on the lanai when at the condo. Great set of renter instructions in a binder near the front door. Was easy to Understand and the information was very helpful. Would stay again if we return to the area. Only comment we would make that is somewhat negative would be the bed in the primary bedroom really needs a new mattress. While it was comfortable enough, it certainly is showing its age.

From the lead in to arrival & stay - hands down one of the better “experiences” across the board! The communication & directions were spot on perfect & the location absolutely stunned us how great it was! Wife even said, “…we absolutely will book this again!” Excellent rental and I highly recommend.

We stayed for 8 days as we had a meeting at the Hilton Waikoloa (walking distance). We have travelled extensively and this condo is by far the best ever! It has everything you need; the decor is up to date and well maintained. The kitchen is big and very well stocked. They have thought of everything! There are condiments and baggies and appliances in excellent condition including a washer and dryer. It is quiet and the 180 degree views from the two sided lanai are incredible. We enjoyed the salt water pool and the hot tub. The bed (master) was so very comfortable. It was in immaculate condition. We loved eating on the lanai and watching sunrises and sunsets from there. It is walking distance to the Kings and queen shops with stores and restaurants. 25 miles to Kona and a Costco and Walmart and Safeway. We absolutely loved it. Greg the property manager was very responsive if we had questions. We hope to stay there next visit to the Big Island. Thanks, Irena for sharing this gorgeous property. Bonnie and Wayne

After a fabulous stay in 2022 we returned this year for another memorable vacation. The condo is so well appointed and comfortable. We especially love sitting outside each evening on the Lanai. The location, parking and closeness to the beach are just a few of the highlights! Our interaction with both the owner and the on-site team was greatly appreciated. They were prompt to answer any questions we had. We’re already looking at 2024 for a return visit. Thank you Ven!! Peggy and Bill

The room was ok. The cockroaches running around not ok, no insect spray. Then on the day of check out , we noticed a further $700 AUS TAKEN OUT OF ACCOUNT. with no notification . The unit was expensive. We were told to help the us not to use too much electricity, we did as we departed the unit at 10 am returned at 10pm daily. Then to be told wash and dry towels , and wash sheets after paying a cleaning fee. Never ever had to do this traveling any in the world. All of the above has upset our holiday.

The resort was located some distance from Kona, but had all the amenities of restaurants, grocery stores and numerous shops. It was situated close to various beaches and points of interests which we were able to drive. The property management were fabulous and accommodated all of our requests. The condo was well equipped, and the one bedroom as described had two separate single beds, which were comfortable. It would be nice if the two single beds could be changed to a queen. Other than that we enjoyed the condo location since it was close to all the amenities of Waikoloa Village.

Much of the decor could use some updating - it kind of reminded me of my grandparents old house (even had a VHS) - but I won't deduct any points for that, it is a beautiful place. There are some shops and restaurants in the complex and even a movie theater (if anyone comes to Hawaii to go to the movies.) There is a beach there too. Water isn't too clear, but it was clear enough on the far end to do some snorkeling, I saw some fish and a sea turtle there. It wasn't too crowded (in early Nov) and there were plenty of complementary lounge chairs on the beach. There is also a supermarket nearby. We tried to go to the beach at the nearby Mauna Kea resort (I read it was the best beach around) but couldn't get in - get there before 8 if you go because there is very limited public parking.

The unit was great, pictures don't do it justice. location is great with a 7 min walk to the beach. The unit includes a cooler with wheels which makes it easy to bring to the beach. snorkel gear, chairs, and umbrellas were also a nice addition. I had a surprise work event arise, and didn't have the proper office equipment with me to handle. Anne Marie at the Resortica office was super helpful! she let me use her office to complete my project. 11/10 stars to her! Additionally just for visiting my wife received a gift of a small personal waterproof bag. It came in super handy on the trip. I would stay in this unit again!

Nice place to stay within walking distance of A-Beach, shopping and restaurants. The condo is in good shape, well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, coffee pot, etc and the beds were comfortable. Highly recommend it.

This place was perfect for us as we were in the area for a friend’s wedding at the Hilton Waikoloa. We had everything we needed and we would definitely book again.

This condo is in the heart of Waikola Beach area, between a Hilton and a Marriott. It's not brand new, but was comfortable quiet and perfectly located.

November 2023

Reg and Sue's condo is just as advertised--everything you need for a great stay in Waikoloa. It's a large and welcoming place, and was perfect for us (3 adults). We loved that there was beach gear (chairs, towels, masks, snorkels, boogie boards, coolers). The location is great to go north to beaches, east to Hilo, or south to Kona. And the condo is well insulated to keep out any noise or heat. October was a wonderful time to travel to the Big Island--temps were between 70 and 80 and the ocean was lovely.

Staying here was an absolute pleasure. The unit was spacious, very clean and had everything you could want. It was close to the beach, shopping and numerous restaurants. I had several communications with the owner who was very accommodating and gracious. They also provided a comprehensive welcome binder full of very useful information and brochures for all the activities and sightseeing on the island. When I return to the Big Island I will try and make arrangements to stay here again.

Very nice condo with everything we needed for our vacation. The location is amazing, between A Bay and Waikoloa. Beautiful panoramic view from the lanai volcano to the bay. Great walkable shortcut to Abay and a beautiful beach walk. Clean and well stocked. When we return, we’ll book here again!

Our 5 sons (15-25) stayed here while we were at the Hilton Waikoloa for a Young Living event. It was so conveniently close to us and everything they needed, and just a fabulous home away from home for them! They thoroughly enjoyed themselves and just loved their accommodations. Thank you SO much for such a positive experience through & through for all of us!

We enjoyed our stay in Vista Waikoloa. I’ve stayed in several units here over the past few years. This condo was well appointed with comfortable beds and outstanding communication with the owner and manager. We particularly appreciated having beach chairs, beach towels, and some spices and condiments in the kitchen. The weather was outstanding this trip and the sunsets amazing! Thanks for the flexibility with checking in early as we were already on island.

This was a great place to unwind after watching our daughter compete in the Ironman. Close to many beaches we explored with great dining nearby.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first time to the Big Island and specifically Waikoloa. The Condo was well furnished and is located on a beautiful gold course. We enjoyed having the two lanais and over all the condo met our vacation needs very well.

October 2023

loveley spacious unit- good ac (cannot go below 74 degress but that was plenty cold- along with shutters to keep up sun mid afternoon and fans) very well equipped kitchen great appliances very spacious and very quiet (inside) and comfortable very very comfortable bed nice lanai furniture very nice pool furniture and lots of them/umbrella/sun and shade con- for me - not necessarily others- vehicular traffic noise from two roads and the luau sounds from the Hilton (music etc) most evenings. pool- it is only one depth- 3.5 feet the entire pool- good for laps and colling off but it is quite shallow

Everything you ever wanted to use for cooking was in the kitchen. The furniture was rich and luxurious. Breakfast on the lanai and sitting on the outdoor couches at sunset was miraculous.

October 2023

Everything so far about our trip to the big island has been, easy and relaxing. The condo had everything we needed. We didn’t need to eat out since the kitchen was so well stocked with everything we needed to cook. The location is code to a number of great beaches and a few grocery stores and other shops and restaurants. We will definitely come back!

We loved our stay at the condo. It has wonderful views of the sunrise, sunset, and golf course. Peekaboo view of A-bay and the ocean. The large windows in the living room invited us onto the lanai day and evening. We loved the condo’s location - a quick walk through the golf course shortcut right down to A-bay. We enjoyed many sunsets and beach afternoons and loved the proximity to King and Queen shops. The owners had ample beach gear including: chairs, umbrella, coolers, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, sand toys.

I loved the Hawaiian style furniture. The size of the room was just right. The only drawbacks were the weak water pressure in the shower and the lack of ocean view.
Hitoshi
October 2023

Enjoyed staying here, updated Kitchen and Bathroom, the nice bathtub unfortunately does not seem to get the same hot water as the shower or sinks (never warms up so that was disappointing), quiet except for road noise only heard if on the extra large balcony, view is minimal of ocean with trees and bushes and buildings blocking. Still we would stay here again. We have stayed at Vista Waikoloa before just a different unit. The buildings each have one elevator which really helps with luggage and groceries. Parking spot is tight but we had a minivan.
Erica D.
October 2023

Condo was just as beautiful as the pictures. We enjoyed the comfortable and spacious lanai for breakfast, lunches, and evening relaxation. Definitely the best equipped condo we have stayed in. Kitchen was well stocked, ample towels and beach towels, interesting books on Hawaii and handy beach gear available. It is a fabulous location...close to A-Bay and the amenities at Kings Shops and Queens marketplace (Island Gourmet Markets). Just a 15 minute drive to wonderful restaurants on the Kohala Coast and 30 minutes to Waimea farmers market. Mahalo to our host for the exceptional communication which made everything stress-free and the many thoughtful touches. We hope to return to this paradise!

The apartment is nice but we had problems with the air conditioning not working. Despite telling the company this wasn’t fixed. They did allow late check out as a result of this but we had a couple of very uncomfortable nights. Also the list of jobs before leaving seemed excessive.

Place was great, in a quiet and safe gated community, wonderful location. View of the Mauna Kea on the balcony made breakfast feel very nice. All appliances and utilities were working without any issues. Beach chairs and cooler was a plus. The place can use more cleaning, especially mold around the washer machine, some of the bedding was old and dirty at spots. Would rebook in the future if cleanliness improves.

The property surrounding Vista Waikoloa is immaculate. It’s just a short walk to the beach access at the Marriott, and is very close to shopping and as well as food options. The location is also easy access (15-20 min drive) to several beaches in the area. The unit was perfect for us having a washer/dryer as well as full kitchen. The sunrises and sunsets on the balconies are hard to beat. I would highly recommend this place.

This unit was one of the best rentals we ever stayed at. For various reasons: The entire rental experience was a breeze. The owner included thorough directions and recommendations that enabled us to be fully prepared both prior and during our stay. As far as the rental unit: This exceeded all of our expectations! You can tell the owner and operator put a lot of heart, soul, and upgrades into this rental. The unit has a great layout. The bedrooms are spacious, organized and provided lots of storage. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and organized with all the accessories needed to be comfortable. The unit supplied beach gear, which was very helpful for our trip – including beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and towels. The kitchen has all the amenities necessary for a trip. For the chefs who want to cook. Various glassware, dishware, and cookware. Plus tons of cooking utensils. Even stuff for grilling. The patio was our favorite part. It is huge!! Way bigger than the pictures represent and has two sections, lots of table, space, chairs, and lounge seating. You can see the ocean from the patio (far in the distance). However, the prettiest view is just the grounds within Waikoloa. It’s lush and well groomed. Really felt like paradise We will definitely be staying at this unit again as we had an incredible family vacation staying at this unit and appreciate the care and details that the owner took to make our stay smooth and enjoy.

Jayne's place is spacious, beautiful and spotless. I've never seen a rental as well stocked as this. She has thought of everything to make her guests feel at home. The complex is very quiet and most days we had the (spectacular) salt water pool to ourselves if we weren't out at Hapuna beach or snorkeling at ABay. Breakfasts and dinners on the patio were great. I highly recommend a stay here. I hope we make it back next year.

This condo is beautiful and located in a great location for your Kamuela/Waimea/Kona vacation. The space is well-planned and open, with a lot of lanai space.

First trip the the Big Island for the family. Really enjoyed the stay. The condo was nicely decorated and furnished and also has some great artwork. The location is perfect with a short walk or drive to shops, restaurants, and Anaehoomalu Bay AKA "A bay". The condo is well equipped with for those that like to cook. There are beach chairs, towels, umbrellas and boogie boards. The view from the deck is spectacular! I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

After our trip to Maui was derailed by the fires in Lahaina we scrambled to save our vacation. Our VRBO search found this dream of a property. Not only was it a vacation saver but the condo is large and the amenities are top notch. The owner has beach gear available for use which travelers could not possibly bring with them. If I could give this property 10 stars I would. Cannot wait to visit again

This is a nice ground floor condo located in the heart of the Waikoloa Village area. The condo is roomy, the kitchen and master bathrooms are really nice and it was great to have double beds in the second bedroom. It's also really close to the pool. Check in was also really easy. The only improvement is it could use better lighting in the master bedroom, it is really dark in there. Overall, great place to stay - highly recommend.

We had a great stay in this unit at the Vista Waikoloa. The condo was well maintained and beautifully decorated. I appreciated the well stocked kitchen and beach supplies. It felt homey with plenty of books to read and games to play - very nice. The view of A-Bay from the lanai is great and it was also nice to see the stars at night. We have stayed in a few other units there and this one might have just become my favorite! I hope to return. I enjoy the pool and grounds - we even spotted a wild turkey this trip. Thank you for sharing your lovely space.

Wonderful apartment with thoughtful details (beach chairs, towels, guide books, games) made for a very relaxing stay. Great view, breezy with lots of light, needed AC only for a few hours. Very accessible to beach and local restaurants. A bit of a drive to Kailua-Kona, but that might be what some want. Prompt and courteous communication from owner.

We loved staying here. The condo had everything we needed from beach toys, to a stocked kitchen.

Absolutely recommend staying here!

Vista 104 is the perfect Big Island base camp. Walking in I was amazed that it exceeded the pics. The lanai is just amazing for morning and evening. Great views of Mauna Kea. Beds were excellent. Bathrooms were well decorated and spacious. Kitchen well supplied and clean. We had planned to grill but chose to do simpler meals. We walked to dinner several times in the shops and the lava lava clubs. Beach access is SO easy if you want to walk or drive to a bay. Close to Hapuna and Mauna Kea. No long drives to get food, snacks. Airport is 18 minutes away. Easy access to saddle road for volcanoes and Hilo day trip and to akaka falls. Joe is a great communicator and helped us with a small issue during stay. We are already planning our next visit.

As a Grandma and Grandpa, we took our 17 year old granddaughter and her friend to the big island for a beach vacation. The condo proved to be in an excellent location for them to explore many popular and other more remote beaches along the coast! A new beach every day. The condo itself is beautiful. Amazing attention to detail in every aspect.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was spacious and had a nice large balcony. We got to use the beach bags that were provided, beach chairs and umbrella (which was a must for us), cooler and beach toys. It had everything we needed and more. The owner was helpful and responded quickly when I had questions. The only minor thing was trying to figure out how to use the dishwasher, as there was a timer set. But we got it to work after a few attempts. Some instructions might be helpful :) There are shops and a beach within walking distance, which was great too. I would love to stay here again.

This title is subjective to the individual, however for me, the decor and floorplan of this property felt upscale and even somewhat luxurious. We stayed as a family of two adults and two teens. The stay was enjoyable and we had no complaints. I always appreciate good communication with a property manager, clear instructions, easy check in/out, cleanliness and a well equipped kitchen. This property did not disappoint on those points. Thank you.

Jayne's place is perfect - it has absolutely everything you need for a Hawaii vacation, including all things that you would want to take to the beach and a wonderful pool area (31/2 feet deep all around) and 2 hot tubs. The pictures are completely accurate, and the location exceeded our expectations in every way. We were there with our "adult" children (19 and 21) and the second bedroom was adapted to 2 twin beds to accommodate us. Although there isn't a lot of living room seating for 4 adults (one couch and one large chair), the doors to the lanai can be kept open and there is great seating for 4 there, as well as a picturesque outdoor dining room table. Walking distance to shoreline access, great market and shopping nearby. We didn't know much about the diversity of the climates on the Big Island before we went- the Waikoloa area is in the drier volcanic rock area, just an FYI. Great beaches nearby and the more lush areas of the island are just 20 minutes away. We loved it!!

We had a wonderful time at this property! Perfect location to sandy beaches, food, and mid point to all the main places to Kona, Hawi, Hilo. Our favorite was walking down to the beach for sunset. The condo is clean and well stocked with beach chairs, towels, BBQ utensils, snorkel gear, etc. we thoroughly enjoyed out stay and can’t wait to come again!

We enjoyed staying at this condo. It's spacious, has all the amenities we wanted, and was a short distance to restaurants, shops, and the beach. The owner and property manager were both very responsive and helpful. We would stay at this condo again.

This condo has all you could think of and more. It’s a great location and decorated beautifully! Sylvia, is very detailed oriented with her instructions as well as decor in the condo. She is very sweet and wants you to feel at home when you stay, which we did. Thank you Sylvia, we will be renting from her again!!!

As per our email to you VRBO we sent copy of communication with property manager also. Of our nine day stay we were more than half of that time without air conditioning. My husband is extremely susceptible to heat stroke so this was a dangerous situation. Had our son not been staying near by we would have had to check into a hotel for relief. The condo didn’t cool down enough to sleep till after 11:30 each evening. We were basically unable to cook because of the situation. Told unable to get repair man because it was a holiday weekend this started Saturday July 1st. Monday was not the Holiday but still no repair man. Repair man finally arrived Weds July 4th so we thought at least our last night on the Island will be pleasant but when we returned after a day at the beach it wasn’t repaired and no note no explanation so again we went to our son’s place! One big sweaty time for 6 of our 9 days basically!! We were assured by Bennett (manager of property) that we would receive a rebate for this disaster but to date we have not!!!!!!

It was such a pleasant surprise as soon as we entered the property. The property is beautifully maintained and very comfortable. It was very clean and well appointed. It felt like a home away from home. While tucked in its own community, the location is so convenient to the restaurants, beach and anything you might need during your stay. The property manager is very responsive and made our stay so smooth and easy from start to finish. I highly recommend this property. Thank you for a memorable stay.

First time in this unit and it was spacious, clean and well upgraded. We really enjoyed the location in the complex, ground floor was easy access and made for walking to the beach and to the shops easy by cutting through the golf course (I do wish Vista Waikoloa had better walking paths without feeling like you are cutting through something). Unit was very clean and airy and felt very comfortable. AC was nice to have as were the fans. Note: The master fan does not have a wall switch so if you are older and can't stand on a bed you would have a hard time adjusting it. The two lanais were great, meals on the one off the living room at the big table, and some nice loungers off the master. Hose out there to wash off the sand also. Unit could have been better outfitted for kids and beach, there was a nice cooler but an umbrella and some boogies boards are typically standard fare that we would have expected. Vista Waikoloa pool is nice but didn't use it that much as we enjoyed the short walk to A Bay beach. Probably one of the better complexes for walkability to beach and shops which we do a lot. Found the management company not as easy to work with as our typical route of direct to an owner, took some time to work through a few things but in the end all was corrected. Would definitely recommend this one.

What a beautiful resort condo - nothing lacking! We were so busy the whole time and hardly relaxed so we didn’t get a chance to write in the guest book. We faired tropical storm Calvin and had to cancel golf but made the best of it. Sylvia is an incredible host with superb communication from start to finish. I hope I can stay again in the future.
