This was our 4th year staying at a condo on this property, but unfortunately, this unit was the least impressive. **Positives:** - End unit with a large yard for kids to play - Nice view of the golf course - Plenty of towels **Negatives:** - The unit was not up to our cleanliness standards; in dire need of a deep clean. Bedside tables, high-touch areas (doors) were filthy- No cleaning supplies available and the vacuum is broken making the space feel increasingly unkempt during a 2-week stay.- Previous reviews mention poor condition of furniture, w/management promising improvements, but no changes made. The couch was so dirty we had to cover it w/towels, the rugs and carpets look like they have never been cleaned (really need to be replaced)- Stove and oven barely function; the fridge’s water filtration system doesn’t work, forcing us to buy bottled water throughout our stay- No Tupperware- The upstairs jacuzzi tub was unusable because it had no drain stopper- We bought and left new umbrellas since they were in unusable condition; beach chairs are rough as well. - Unlike other units we’ve stayed in, this one does not have a small selection of games nor a smart TV or Roku set up to stream on demand movies/shows as a family.Overall, while the location and layout were great, the lack of cleanliness and maintenance made for a disappointing experience for the cost. Lacks the typical pride in ownership. Truly a turn and burn property.

Our stay was fantastic! The condo is so well-appointed with everything you could possibly need for a beach vacation! The garage is so well-stocked with snorkel gear, beach toys, sand umbrellas, a wide variety of floaties of all shapes and sizes, as well as a ton of very new and clean kids stuff (Pack-n-Play, baby booster for table, kids booster car seats) that made our trip even better. The condo itself is very well-kept with so many thoughtful additions. We felt like it had a very personal touch that we haven’t seen in other rentals. The location is also absolutely optimal.
Michelle, the host, was so helpful and responsive to all our questions. We felt like she was very personally invested in our stay being a great one. We absolutely hope to book Michelle’s condo again for our trip next year!

We had a fantastic stay during spring break. The property has a Viking grill and fully stocked kitchen. It was clean and quiet. Our son made friends with a local stray cat, which he lovingly named Mew Mew. Very close to the beach and all of the things needed to enjoy beach days.

Great unit and area and close to everything in Waikoloa. Kona Coast Vacations was great to deal with. Very clean grounds and pool area. Bbq on the deck was a nice to have. If I could I would rate a 4.5 I would but it’s not a 5 ( short sheets on the bed, dishwasher is old and doesn’t work as good as it could, mix mash of cutlery, glasses, 3 broken Tommy chairs in the garage etc, things just getting a bit dated )

This is an excellent, well maintained property. There was a slightly tired looking tub in the 2nd upstairs ensuite but it functioned fine. All appliances needed were in good working order and unit was clean. They even included a couple of old cruiser style bicycles which were handy for trips to the beach or quick errands to Queens market. Most of our group rented or brought higher quality bikes but these were used and enjoyed also. The complex is well situated and the stay was a delight for our entire family.

We stayed at J33 as a family of 5, it’s a spacious condominium with full kitchen, garage, gorgeous view patio, everything you need for the beach ( chairs, umbrellas, coolers, kids beach toys), and had great experience, it’s very close to Queens Marketplace and Kings (minutes to walk) which is a huge plus, our teenage boys could go and get some food or coffee without us driving them. We would definitely come back!

Overall this was a very nice place. I like staying in Waikoloa for being central to all the places I enjoy. As a frequent traveler to the Island, it is definitely one of the most resort-y places I've stayed. There wasn't a parking pass in the unit when we arrived so we got a flier on our car from the HOA and had to find the office to explain the situation and get a pass. The BBQ gas line/ignition does not work properly (yes, I was following their instructions) so starting the BBQ always had a dangerous fireball once I actually got it to light. Some quality of life things could definitely have been improved like pans that weren't completely scratched and warped, having water bottles or some kind of to-go drink bottles to take to the beach, etc

The keyless check in was very easy, we were actually allowed early entry due to our circumstances. The condo is bright and airy with multiple fans we used constantly. We grilled dinner two nights and had the tools we needed for the bbq. Walked to Roy's for dinner twice...delicious...two shopping areas close by... went to the Hilton for lunch (not impressed at all) and had no trouble getting the parking validated. The condo is nicely furnished, beds are ok. The pool and spa are so close and we enjoyed both several times. Grounds are nicely kept.

This is a comfortable property and in an ideal location. Not just in Waikaoloa village but also in the complex itself. Close to the pool and lived the grassy area right outside for the kids to play on. Would definitely stay here again!

The condo is conveniently located in the Waikoloa resort area, in a gated quiet community. It's well maintained and is a good choice for longer stays to make good uses of its well stocked kitchen.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on the big island. We rented a condo at the Wiakoloa Beach Villas, and had a great experience with the facility and the property management company. They were extremely responsive, and made it easy. We have stayed here on several prior trips - always a good experience.

Nothing but superlatives for this jewel of a condo. Spacious, immaculate, comfy bed, well laid out, fluffy towels, big bathrooms. Two large TVs with reliable cable. A stacked washer and dryer. Quiet. A lovely view of the mountains. Easy parking. The kitchen has every convenience you might need from an ample supply of plastic wrap and foil to a rice cooker. The property manager, Joe, is delightful and accommodating. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed the location and easy access to the Kings and Queens shops, walking routes and the A beach. The unit was quiet and the layout of the lanai and gardens gave it a secluded feel. The pool was great for our 3 year old granddaughter. We would definitely stay there again.

Our stay at the condo was amazing!! It was extremely clean and well equipped with anything you might need. The location is perfect - a short walking distance to everything in Waikoloa beach, which makes the stay so convenient. This property backs up to the golf course there, which was very nice. Michelle, the property manager, was amazing. She went above and beyond during our stay and was incredibly helpful and responsive. We will definitely be booking with this rental company in the future and cannot recommend this villa enough!

The first thing I want to share is my 25-year-old daughter remarked about how clean it was! We spent 6 days at this lovely home and were impressed with its location within easy walking distance to Queens' Marketplace and Kings' Shops, the access to beach equipment (chairs, boogie boards, and umbrellas), the nice kitchen supplies, and the overall layout of the home was perfect!

This is an excellent property located on the first green of the golf course. it is well furnished, especially the kitchen where the owner has supplied virtually everything one could need. Each bedroom has an en suite and there is 1/2 bath near the entryway. The owner has gone the extra mile — for example, there are liquid soap dispensers in each bathroom and a jug of liquid soap in the kitchen that can be used to refill these. There is also a very large roll of garbage bags in the kitchen that are used in the trash cans thereby avoiding the need for the guests to purchase trash bags that they will never be able to use up. The only nit — and it is a small one — is the Samsung TV in the living room. It dropped its connection with the Internet 5-6 times while we were there. The other two TVs are Roku TVs that didn't have a similar problem. I would encourage the owner to purchase a Roku stick for the Samsung TV as it is more reliable than the Internet connection on the Samsung. I have an identical Samsung with a Roku stick and it never drops the Internet connection.My wife and I would happily stay at this location in the future. It is a quality property.

Had a very relaxing week at this property. I’ve stayed in many condos in the Waikoloa area over the years and I really loved the specific location of this particular home. It’s quiet and well situated in terms of seeing the sunset from the lanai. It’s fun to watch the golfers from there too. The walkability of this area is excellent. The little grocery at the Queen’s Shops is a 5 minute walk. Beach access is close by. We saw whales and turtles from the shore every day we were there. Highly recommend.

Walking into the villa was like walking in to someone’s home. It was so well appointed, equipped and clean. This gated villa was so ideally situated, close to many amenities. Some of our family could be at the beaches, some shopping, some laying at the pool and some just relaxing at the villa. Couldn’t of asked for a better vacation.

Honestly, when we entered the condo we were very surprised. The place was way above our expectation. Very nice property. It was a short walk to shopping and restaurants. It was a 10 minute walk to the nice, sandy beach (or you could drive in just a couple minutes). Overall, a great property and great value.

This is a very nice condo in a beautiful community. The unit is roomier than expected with large living area, kitchen, bedrooms and bath. The outdoor deck with grill and table was a wonderful spot for eating overlooking the golf course.The beds were comfortable, showers were very nice, wifi was strong and fast, and it was equipped with everything you'd need on vacation. The condo community is beautifully landscaped and has a lovely pool and hot tub. From what we could see, I'd say it was the nicest area with Waikoloa. It's an easy walk to 2 shopping areas (the coffee and açaí bowls at Island Vintage Coffee in the King's shops are a must), a walkable to a nice beach and hiking trails.Definitely recommended, especially if you want to be in a resort community.

Our family travels quite a bit, especially to Hawaii. We have stayed at the Marriott, Hilton, Four Seasons, and other Waikoloa VRBO units, but THIS ONE was our FAVORITE! It was spacious enough for everyone to have their own bedroom and bathroom, the kitchen and lanai tables were perfect for many family meals, the included Hilton passes were so fun for our kids, the golf course view was so fun for the adults, and the owner had everything already in the unit, so we hardly had to pack anything but clothes. The location was also perfect for sunset drinks at Lava Lava, dips in the pool across the street, and many trips to the King and Queen shops. The owner was also very responsive and extremely easy to work with. We had the best time at this unit and hope to go back!

When we arrived at the property we were able to get in immediately. We had access to the garage which was a plus.We have rented several VRBO properties and found that this property was very well stocked with necessities. Internet was speedy. Free TV option, however, was limited. The bed in the primary bedroom was comfortable. The property was very quiet. Its location next to the Queens and Kings Marketplaces was a definite plus. There is a grocery store (of sorts) in the Queens Marketplace. It had most basics but was very pricey. There is a Costco, a large Target, and a Safeway grocery store in Kailua Kona, a drive of about 30 minutes from Waikoloa. We would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed at more than 15 various condos in Waikoloa Beach Villas for at least two weeks at a time over the past several years and most have been delightful. This condo, while providing adequate space for our large group, had carpets which were worn and stained in many areas, the living room sofa was extremely worn and as well as torn, the coffee table covered in scratches and obviously worn, there was no smart tv in the living room so no streaming capability, one of the outdoor chairs was torn with stuffing coming out and several of the beach chairs were broken. All of this was disappointing but could be overlooked (even at which were not insignificant prices) but on our last night we experienced a heavy rain. During the night we realized there were three separate leaks in the ceiling of the master bedroom necessitating the move of our personal items and placing bowls on the floor to catch the water. We notified Vacasa immediately about these obviously serious leaks and we never heard back. There was also no way to contact Vacasa before arrival to ask about the availability of baby equipment without enduring extremely long wait times. Over all their management of this property was unacceptable.

This is the perfect spot for a small family vacation. Centrally located in Waikoloa beach and an easy walk to A-Bay. Having the marketplace across the street is convenient for a quick trip for snacks, coffee or ice cream. The pool is GORGEOUS. The condo is very tastefully decorated with beautiful art and furniture. Everything you need for a beach trip is available including snorkeling gear for the whole family. Only thing would recommend is a wooden spoon or spatula for cooking.

My family and our best friends family stayed here for a week. 2 couples, a 3 year old, a two year old, and a 4 month old. It was perfect. Very roomy and cozy at the same time. The lanai and outside play area were perfect for the kids- and we all loved the pool. The Hilton Pool Pass day was SUPER FUN too, definitely a highlight of the trip. It’s also good location to many great beaches. I would highly recommend this home!

My wife and I stayed for one week at the condo, while I was on the Big Island for work, and our stay was fantastic. The location in the Waikoloa Beach Villas is perfectly located. It's in an intimate gated community, as soon as you enter the Waikoloa Beach Resort. The Queen's Marketplace (shops and restaurants) is just a short walk from the property.Communications with the owner, Ben, were lightning fast and his detailed instructions made check-in a breeze. Best of all, each unit has a private garage.The unit is on the second floor of a three story building. It was spotlessly clean and the bedding and linen was very comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped which made cooking stress free. We used the BBQ on several evenings and enjoyed dining on the lanai.There were an abundance of creature comforts including beach chairs, boards & toys. The internet was extremely fast and stable. While no one likes to do laundry when traveling, but when you have to, it's always nice to have a ensuite washer and dryer!We can highly recommend Ben's condo. We enjoyed it so much, we're planning our return trip!

This condominium was exactly what we hoped for. It was spacious, well stocked, and perfectly situated in the complex. There are so many extras not listed like the two bicycles that we loved and the tons of beach gear(snorkel, mask, fins) chairs of all types, shade umbrellas and more. Even dive shoes for walking the lava shores. The owners were instantly available for questions and concerns. It sure feels great when you make a score like this and the experience sure bears repeating.
