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!

Ben's Condo at the Waikoloa Beach Villa's was wonderful in every way! We found everything exactly as described and we wanted for nothing. Extremely comfortable bed and comfy couches. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, appliances, cookware and paper products. We barbecued twice on the lanai, enjoying the bird sounds and gorgeous views as we ate. The garage contained plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, etc. The resort pool is a few steps away, 10 minute walk or few minute drive to the A-Beach. Walking distance from the fabulous Queens Marketplace and Kings Shops for restaurants, and groceries/meals.Ben was the ideal concerned host, checking in to see we were settled and quickly responding to a question. We will most definitely be returning!!

I have stayed at the Waikaloa Beach Villas for 20 years now. Ben Manuto's condo was very comfortable, clean and well appointed. We were there over the Thanksgiving holiday and were able to cook a traditional dinner in the kitchen - with a Hawaiian twist!
Ben is very responsive to any inquiries we needed while there. A fantastic choice.

We enjoyed every minute of our vacation in this lovely condo. From the comprehensive guide to make our arrival stress-free to helpful hints around the property Ben, the owner, set us up for success.

Do not hesitate to book this place! Beautifully appointed home. Extremely comfortable beds, stocked with all you need, a fabulous lanai - what more could you want? The owner, Ben, is a dream to communicate with and very patient when I couldn’t find the gate code. Steps away from fabulous shops and restaurants and a quick drive to surrounding beaches. We can’t wait to return!

The condo is Waikoloa was great. Everything was as described in the posting, and Ben the owner was very helpful and friendly. The lanai overlooks the golf course and the grill works great. The A/C works great, the internet was fast enough for streaming and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with pretty much everything we needed and the garage had all of the beach gear we needed as well. We did buy a collapsible wagon to haul everything to the beach and we left it at the condo for future guests. The condo is a 5 minute drive to A-bay and walking distance from the Queens shops which was very convenient!
The only issue we ran into was the people upstairs were very heavy footed and woke us up in the middle of night multiple times but I don't think that's the fault of the condo at all. Honestly we were in paradise so it wasn't the end of the world.
We hope we get a chance to stay in this condo again, we really did not want to leave!

M22 is a lovely property in the Waikoloa Beach Villas. The furnishings and decor are truly Hawaiian and done very tastefully. Plenty of everything you need from towels, to beach chairs, dishes, pots, pans and utensils! Also a great location, close to the pool and an easy walk to Kings or Queens Marketplace. We had an issue with the ice-maker in the refrigerator which was fixed, and Ben was very responsive to this and all of our needs. My only disappointment was that the 2 twin beds were not put together as 1, which I requested. I advised Ben upon arrival, but apparently whoever comes to take care of that was unable to do so. There are instructions on how to operate the TV, but it was still frustrating. I would like to suggest maybe the light switches be labeled as numerous switches worked the same lights. Not a criticism, just a suggestion.
This condo is a great place to relax and enjoy. Very peaceful and quiet. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying it here!

This well-kept, upscale condo was perfect for our trip to train for an upcoming triathlon. It is very near A-bay beach with easy-access parking, and lots of shops. The space is very clean, with all you need in the indoor and outdoor kitchen. Loved the 2-bedroom setup with a walk-in closet! The host made it easy to check in and actively communicated as needed.

Ben was a very responsive host. Condo and grounds were exactly as described. The unit is very clean, well-kept and stocked. Appliances were all in good working order and clean. The Gas grill and sink on the Lanai is a bonus, (Only used it once) but everything you would need to have a wonderful sunset dinner is there for your use. It was also a plus to have washer and dryer in the unit. Having use of the garage is also very nice as well as it is stocked with all the beach gear you may need. The facility was equally as nice. Very Quiet and secure. Management does an extremely good job with grounds, pool, hot tub, and exercise area. We found the area to be very walker friendly. We would explore a different area every morning on our walk. I would highly suggest checking out the Hilton, it's about a mile up the road. well worth the walk thru their facility. Or Sunet at A-Bay, second to none. Overall, this was a 5 star stay and to top it all off there was a Volcano eruption while we were there. Mauna Loa and Kilauea. Probably was once in a lifetime event. Thank you again to Ben for making his home our home.

Our stay at the Wiakoloa Beach Villas was great. The condo was very nice and we had everything we needed. It was within walking distance to the market, restaurants, and shopping. The facility grounds were beautiful and well groomed. We have rented VRBOs several times over the years in many different locations and this unit was one of our top rentals.

My family stayed for a week (kids 8 and 10). Condo was clean and well-appointed. The garage had everything we needed to spend full days at the beach - coolers, toys, chairs and umbrellas. Ben provided such clear instructions on accessing the property that our arrival was seamless. He also emailed shortly after our arrival to check in and make sure the property was in good order (which it was). Will recommend this property to anyone visiting the island!

The rental unit was very nice, great location not on the water but overlooks a beautiful golf course. Close to shopping, beaches and dining. There were laminated cards all over the unit indicating what to do and not do which was helpful as there's a ton of rules some of them didn't match the management companies policy. We were unable to access the garage which contained many beach items we had looked forward to using during our stay, that was resolved on our last day. The lock on the front door was not working for the time we were there, owner notified, there was an oversight in the emails that we should have contacted the management company which affected us in the end. I would advise taking photos upon arrival and upon leaving rentals.

Ben’s condo at Waikoloa Beach Villas was a dream for our stay on the Big Island. Everything felt very luxurious and we had all that we needed for our weeklong stay. The location is perfect across the street from the Queen’s Marketplace and just down the road from A Bay. We’ll definitely try to stay here the next time we come to the Big Island.

This was a wonderful place to spend some time on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Everything was "top notch". The condo was beautifully furnished with all the necessary amenities included. Loved having a garage in which to park the rental car. It is located in easy walking distance to the beach. Queens and Kings Marketplaces are right across the street or just adjacent to the property and contain numerous place to shop and different restaurants.

This condo was so well stocked, so clean, so comfortable (beds were great, bedding great, everything GREAT!) Ben was so easy to reach. Everything went off without a hitch! We come to Waikoloa frequently and this location is wonderful. Walking to both Queens' Marketplace and King's Shops, so close to A-Bay, and short drive to the two close and gorgeous beaches. We will stay here again!

The condo is well decorated in a modern style and you can tell home owner on purpose selected the furniture, decorations, cushion, bedding stuff to make a very nice match. The condo is clean, tidy, well maintained. It equipped with hairdryer, rice cooker, instant pot, surfing board, snorkeling equipment, kids beach tool set. All the appliances are very fancy. We spent a very nice Thanksgiving holidays.

The place was very clean, organized, and in a perfect location near shops, restaurants, and one of many area beaches yet in a quiet development on a golf course. Beach and outdoor accessories in the garage were excellent. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful month long experience at this condo. From the initial contact, until we left the island, we had open and responsive communication with the Owner which was much appreciated. The place is lovely and well maintained.
We were very comfortable and the condo is well equipped. The kitchen has everything you need (unlike others we have stayed at) and there were pantry items available for us to use. We also really enjoyed the use of the grill on the lanai. It is fabulous! There were beach towels, beach chairs/umbrellas and even snorkeling gear.
Another thing that made this place a "stand out" is that the linens were really nice. Sheets and bath towels were great quality which is not always the case and we LOVED the bed in the primary bedroom so much that we are considering buying one ourselves.
We can't emphasize enough how much we appreciated the little notes advising us of how to work things, etc. They were very helpful and in some cases we would have had no idea what to do or how to use things.
The only negative was that the pool closest to this unit was under construction but the other was available to us for a quick dip. It should be noted that the Owner made us aware of this before we came. We chose to spend most of our time at the beautiful beaches close by.
Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and can't wait to go back!

The location was great. The unit was beautiful and had everything we need to be comfortable. The beach equipments were specially helpful. Lanai was right next to two beautiful plumeria trees so we enjoyed the sweet fragrance with our morning coffee, not to mention the beautiful views of the pond and golf course . Highly recommended.
