Overall, the property met expectations and was an excellent place to stay. The location is excellent as it is within walking distance to shops, the beach and restaurants. And the walk is both scenic and comfortable. It is a very short drive to the golf course and to many of the surrounding amenities such as beaches, additional grocery shopping and local sites such as a Macadamia Nut factory. It is a very short drive to the airport, to Kona and to a Sr. PGA Tour Event (if you like golf) if you are visiting in January. As with all ground floor condos, you have to be cognizant and diligent when it comes to insects wanting to infiltrate your home, but the grounds crew must do a very good job because the number of insects outside were minimal compared to other places we have stayed. All in all, we had another great vacation at Waikoloa Beach Village and this time was at The Shores.

The Shores at Waikoloa is one of the best places to stay in Waikoloa, because of the well-maintained landscape, large apartments and lanais. We've had a very pleasant stay there, and could walk to most places we've needed to go. The sun sets and sun rises are the best.

Loved staying in this roomy ground floor condo. Breakfast outside listening to all the birds was perfect. The grounds are beautiful! Kerrie was a great host. Basket of goodies on the table was a lovely touch. Easy check-in and communication.

This was my second stay at this unit. Fantastic location close to several great beaches. Kitchen has everything you need to cook with and bbq’s are brand new. The lanai is perfect to enjoy breakfast and enjoy the beautiful landscape. Kerri is very accommodating and communicates well before and during your stay. Would recommend to anyone traveling to the big island.

Great condo with lots of amenities which came in handy. Beach chairs were a hit. Drawback was the TV…unable to find sports programs that we follow.

This property really was in an ideal location. Not too far from the beach or stores. The condo itself was very comfortable and had everything you would we need. From sandwich bags for packing up a little lunch to beach towels, snorkel equipment, and beach chairs.
The king bed was super comfortable. Bathrooms nice and spacious, temperature of condo stayed very cool. Lovely patio area. Nice and quiet neighborhood. 10/10 :)
We would definitely stay here again.
Then you.

Absolutely!. Great property and amenities. It's everything i want in a Big Island holiday. Beautiful space, located close to A Bay and Waimea. Host is responsive, but i didn't need to bother her. Give this joint a go!

This was our first trip to the island of Hawaii. The Shores at Waikaloa is truly a gem. No traffic or HVAC noise- just birds and breezes.
The grounds are impeccably kept. The whole area is lovely for walking.
The condo itself is very comfortable and clean.
The spacious lanai was our favorite place to hang out.
We loved our stay and were sad to leave.

The condo is well maintained and decorated. Excellent location. It was nice to have washing machine soap, dish washer soap and all other necessities (paper towels, shampoo) etc. nice welcome basket upon arrival. Only disappointment was that there was only one set of snorkel equipment, and not really very good at that. Would definitely recommend and return.

Recommend this condo to anyone traveling to the Big Island. Kerrie was great with pre-arrival messages & information. The unit was clean, located in a great gated community, close to beaches and has a very peaceful vibe. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking anything and new appliances. Bedrooms were clean, had space to put all your stuff away and comfortable beds. Two community barbecues about 200 feet from the unit were great to use and the assigned parking spot is close to the unit for moving in or out. Mahalo for the wonderful 8 nights at this beautiful place!

Loved everything about the condo except for the bathroom. Both bathrooms shower fixture was loose and because it was loose, you can see a mold building up. The shower head in the master bathroom water flow wasn’t shooting out in the same direction.

We enjoyed our visit to the Island, and appreciate the thoughtfulness of everything that was provided for a comfortable stay. Everything from the welcome basket of fruit, beach toys, spices in the cupboard, cooking utensils, dish soap, bath soap, comfortable furniture, beds...and the list goes on. All of this in a perfect location for accessing amazing beaches. Thank you for thinking of everything! We are hoping to return again!

The condo was extremely clean. We really enjoyed the condo grounds and sitting on the large lanai. Kerrie was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated during our stay on extreme weather and other events. It was difficult for my husband who uses a walker to access some areas of the condo and complex.

This apartment is spacious, clean, and well stocked with everything we needed. It is a short walk from the beach and situated in a beautiful neighborhood. The property manager Kerrie is wonderful. She answered all of our questions before and during our stay. We really enjoyed our family vacation here.

Our family spent 10 wonderful nights here over Christmas. We came to Hawaii to relax, and this condo was the perfect place for us. It was great being able to walk to the shore/beach (A-Bay) and nearby shops. After walking by the loud grounds of the nearby resorts, we appreciated coming back to our quiet vacation home and its uncrowded pool and (super hot!) hot tub. We brought our tennis rackets—there are two nice courts, and there was always one available when we wanted to play. We did a couple day trips to Kona and Hilo—both are easy to get to from here.
The condo was well-stocked with plenty of cookware/dishes—we ate breakfast and bird/mongoose/gecko watched on the lanai every day and cooked several other meals during our stay. There’s also lots of beach toys and equipment. The furniture was great, and the laminate flooring looked new. Our college-age daughter said her bed was the most comfortable bed she’s ever slept in (she was, unfortunately, under the weather for a couple days during our stay, so she spent extra time in it).
Kerrie was wonderful to work with—super responsive and helpful! We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo and loved the peacefulness of the property. The kitchen and outside locked closet were both very well stocked with everything you might need. The condo was very clean upon arrival and check in was smooth and as expected. We appreciated the welcome fruit basket and all of the information provided on the area and restaurants and activities. We hope to return again soon!

The condo is very well appointed! We were very impressed with the “little things” such as laundry and bathroom supplies. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, cookware and spices! Very comfortable!
Our only challenge was the brightness in the master bedroom from the traffic to the parking lots. Think it could be easily resolved with black out curtains perhaps.
Overall would highly recommend this condo!
November 2022
This is a well located and had many extras not usually included in rental units. For example there was a large selection of spices, cooking oil , a large bowl of fresh fruit, a very wide selection of pots and pans and bowls, plus things like foil, plastic wrap, and food storage bags.

Great place, well supplied but had more bugs than we expected even for an island. With all the standing water around the resort that wasn’t well maintained, we had mosquitoes every night on the lanai, during the day at the pool and even killed multiple inside. Besides having to leave the resort to enjoy the outside, the place was great

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this well-equipped and spacious condo in Waikoloa. It's a great centre for touring the Big Island, with beautiful beaches and lots of facilities in the resort. Everything was spotless when we arrived, and the property manager Kerri was very responsive to any questions we had. We have rented many places for vacations and this one is one of the best. Mahalo!

This was a convenient and quiet location to access many activities around the island. The kitchen has many convenient items if you prefer to cook on vacation. It is so helpful to have some basic spices and items that are difficult to buy in small quantitiy.
May 2022
Great condo in a great location. We will def come back and stay here again. Everything you could need is there from beach chairs to beach towels. Down the street from the resorts and shopping areas. Very impressed with communication from the property Mgr she called to check on us the day after we checked in.

My partner, her dad and I stayed at this property for our first trip to Big Island. Kerrie was super responsive despite our last-minute booking, and the place was great! Super clean, spacious, and located conveniently close to the saddle road for exploring the island. The kitchen was very well-appointed, and we really enjoyed the Big Island goodies Kerrie left to welcome us. Enjoying local fruit for breakfast on the lanai was one of the highlights of our trip to the island! Would highly recommend and stay again for sure.

We stayed for a week, primarily to attend a wedding event, sharing with another couple in our group. This condo is superbly furnished, comfortable, and ground floor for easy access. And quiet! Nice lanai to enjoy breakfast or read a book, and a well-stocked kitchen for making meals. Convenient location, and easy walk to other resorts. We enjoyed time at the pool area and the grounds are well cared for. Great spot as a base for exploring the west side of Hawaii!

I contacted Kerrie several times with questions and she responded quickly and was always helpful.
Thank you, we enjoyed our stay.

Everything was great, location between Kailua and Waimea was super.

This property was absolutely perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Everything was clean and it was stocked with all the things we needed for a week.
The walk to the beach for sunset photos is only 10 minutes and you get to pet cats along the way.
One restaurant is within walking distance, just outside the property gate, while the others are a very short drive away.
I highly recommend staying here and will likely do it again when I come back.

The unit was a great location as we had relatives staying at the Hilton, the space was perfect and the unit had everything we needed and then some! The unit was very quiet and well stocked. We really appreciated the large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, stain remover, laundry supplies, ziplock bags and storage containers!
The biggest downfall was the pool was closed our entire stay and we weren’t aware of this until we arrived. There were accommodations made at a nearby pool but it was a long haul with a toddler. The unit could use some updating of carpets and furniture in the main living areas but the bathrooms were very nice and the beds were very comfortable!! So convenient to have a washer and dryer in the unit.
Kerrie was great to work with and we were able to check in 1.5 hours early and the welcome basket was a nice surprise after a long day of travel!

We had an excellent stay and or treated like family upon reception. The location was perfect for us as we like to walk and exercise. So we did not mind a little walk to the beaches or places to eat. There were a few occasions where someone parked in our assigned stall, but other than that I think will find that anywhere.

We decided to extend our stay on the island and booked this property last minute. Kerrie was very responsive and professional and check in was a breeze. There was even a welcome basket with assorted fruit and treats for us upon arrival - nice touch. The unit location was great, the interior spacious and comfortable with upgraded appliances and TV's - but was a little dated in other areas (Kerrie let us know that new paint and carpeting will be installed this summer). The complex was well maintained and very beautiful, with fish ponds throughout and a nice, clean pool and spa. Overall, a great value for the area!

Great getaway in Waikoloa, that I call the “RESORT” part of the Big Island. What I liked most about the property was that there was a Queen bed in the 2nd bedroom…and not 2 twin beds like most rentals. Very comfortable beds and a comfortable unit!

The Condo was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed taking our friends around the Island showing them some of the sights and were looking forward to showing our daughter and Granddaughter the sights also. Because of the Virus outbreak they canceled their airline tickets so it was best for us to leave a week early as things there in Hawaii were closing down. Thank You for the wonderful condo to stay in!

While this property is in a great location and was well equipped with all the amenities needed when you are cooking for yourself, we found it dated. The dining chairs were not comfortable as the foam needs to be replaced and the same holds true for the matching chair. The carpet holds a lot of dust and germs and should be replaced with a hardwood floor or tiles which are easier to clean. The cabinets, wooden doors and some furniture were also showing showing wear and yucky. I would have liked more options like cleaning cloths, floor mop etc given we stayed here for three weeks. Overall however this is a great location and in all the windy days did not find it affected the nice lanai this property has. The only negative really is the stomping of the feet from the renters above this property. It was unfortunate for us that the renters one floor above happen to walk like elephants anywhere from 4am or 5am. The property manager was excellent to deal with. I would also recommend that the sliding glass door be fixed to open easier, you had to use two hands to open it. Thanks for allowing us to rent your property.

Kerrie was the most welcoming VRBO owner we've met. We really appreciated her in-person welcome, tips on places to eat and watch the sunset, and lovely fruit basket.
The location is very convenient - a short drive to the beautiful Hapuna Beach, a walk to another beach, and within walking distance to a grocery store and shopping. Waimea is an easy drive as well - had wonderful pizza and breakfast at restaurants recommended by Kerrie.
We enjoyed mornings on the lanai and having a quiet place to settle in at night. The condo was spotless and the appliances seemed new. We loved being able to do our laundry. Everything we needed for laundry, dishwashing, and showering was provided. The kitchen had all the gadgets and cookware for the one meal we prepared. Beach gear such as chairs, a cooler, and boogie boards were provided. Such a nice touch and made our trips to the beach much more complete. Our only quibble would be that the unit was mostly carpeted and starting to show some signs of wear. It did not detract from the overall experience, which is why this is a 5-star review.
We loved our stay and will definitely try to stay here again when we come back. Thanks, Kerrie, for being such a terrifc host!

My husband and I and another couple stayed here for a wedding we were attending at the Hilton perfect location. The condo is very nice and just right for 2 couples. Kitchen is well stocked even though we really didn't use it much. Nice stuff provided for the beach. Easy walking to shops and eateries close by. Thank you Kerrie for the fruit basket as our flights were cancelled arriving alot later then planned so we were grateful! Would stay here again.

We stayed here in March, 2018. Had a great time! Condo located in a walking distance from Hilton, Marriott and two shopping plaza. Condo is spacious and we had everything we needed.
