Stayed for 7 days over the Christmas Holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Property did not disappoint with a central location for all of our day trips. Resort property had 2 nice pool areas and a quick drive or even a walk to the beach or Lava Lava. The pictures did not due justice to the beautiful and functional indoor and outdoor spaces we enjoyed. Marc was excellent at communication and providing recommendations and guidance. We loved or time!

This place was amazing. Marc is a great host and we had an amazing time celebrating my wife’s birthday with our small children. The photos truly don’t do the place justice. It is amazing and located right on a golf course and is a great central location to a few of the top beaches on the island. Walk to Lava Lava Beach club for dinner on the beach (a bay) or drive 10 minutes to Hapuna. Kona is 15 minutes away as well. We loved the location and Marc was awesome. There are a lot of amenities including stove, coffee pot, beach chairs, towels etc. A private garage is also included. We would stay here again and would recommend anyone coming to the island to stay at this place!

Couldn’t imagine a better location for our trip to the big island. Everything you need is walking distance. Centrally located for trips to beach or day trips to sights around the island. The condo has everything you might want/need and is super organized. Marc is an amazing communicator and he made our arrival and stay super easy. We’ll look forward to staying here again on future trips to Kona. Mahalo Marc and Barb!!

We had a perfect time at Marc's place. I don't have much to say other than it was exactly as described and perfect in every way. Marc is an incredible host and I feel very fortunate to have chosen this place for our wedding anniversary celebration and I hope to visit again soon.

The townhome we booked for our stay in Hawaii was perfect! Clean, beautiful, modern and with lots of extras like a cooler, beach towels and chairs, and even soaps and shampoo/conditioner in the bathrooms. It was perfect for our family. Highly recommend!

The place was perfect for us. 2 couples stayed and never felt crowded. The owners were super helpful in providing local information that helped us have a near perfect week. If the chance ever arises we will definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay. House was well stocked with dishes, basic kitchen supplies and lots of towels and linens. Great location with tons of shops only a short walk away. Our kids loved that the pool was only a quick walk as well. We hope to be back again someday!

Great location for close proximity to multiple beach, restaurant and shopping (Kings & Queens) options.
The resort and condo premises is immaculately maintained.
Plenty of sleeping options for a family of 5 including (3) teenage boys.
Kitchen fully stocked with everything required for preparing your own meals, including some typical seasonings. Grill is a short 1:00 walk away, next to the pool (couldn’t find grill utensils in the condo).
Condo stocked with board games for at-home days.
Condo has all you need for a beach day… towels, chairs, soft side cooler and wagon (we brought our own boogie boards and snorkel gear).
Owner was very communicative before and during our stay at F1.
Wish we would have know :
The Hawaii State Beaches now charge $10/car and $5/person. Our family of (5) cost $35 per beach day. In 2020, it was $5/car.
The Big Island currently only sells SPF 50 in tubes and SPF 30 in spray cans, due to local county laws (due to coral impact of certain minerals). We should have brought our own SPF 15 and 30.

We really enjoyed staying at this condo. It was lovely and spacious inside, with plenty of room for our family of 5. My girls loved the bunk room! (But I think the owner is in the process of changing up the furniture and the bunk room isn’t staying.) The kitchen was stocked well, one of the best I’ve used on a vacation. The garage also had plenty of beach gear and we really appreciated it! We liked walking to the restaurants and checking out the nearby petroglyphs. Mauna Loa erupted when we were there and it was quite an experience to be able to see it not far from the condo! Overall we were really happy with the condo and location.

We were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness and location of the unit. We did experience a broken fridge and the fix was already in motion when we arrived. Communication was great! Marc is wonderful to work with—detail orientated and committed to a positive customer stay. Definitely recommend and plan to book future stays at this property!!

The size and amenities at this unit was a pleasant surprise. It had everything we needed and the beach chairs, wagon and coolers made a day at the beach just that much better.
For most this Location, I would say you need a car. Grocery, beaches, day trips to Hilo or Volcano national park was easy to get to. The late check out was the best for the red eye out of Kona. It allows for a relaxing end vs rushing to pack and leave then figuring what to do the rest of the day with your luggage in the car.
Would definitely recommend and go again when the opportunity arises. Also sunset at the local beach is considered one of the best in the island.

These pictures don’t do this house justice!!! We were really shocked by how beautiful this was. The place is spacious, high ceilings, plenty of rooms/beds/bathrooms, and very well stocked. The garage has everything you need for the beach and MORE! The pool and hot tub were warm. We all loved Hapuna Beach! Beautiful big beach with great white sand. We also visited Greenwell Coffee Farm in Kona for a free very informative coffee tour with samples. The land around is also worth seeing, lava fields, huge ranches, and beautiful views. I wish we were there Tues/Wed so we could’ve toured Parker Ranch. I’d highly recommend booking here. The owner was amazing, very responsive to any questions I had.
August 2022
Excellent location, within walking distance of lots of shops and restaurants. Lots of fantastic beaches within 15 minutes. Large place with good furniture. Kitchen has everything you need for cooking. Gated community. Access to two beautiful community pools with hot tubs. Owner was very responsive to a request we had. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

owners were great with booking, communications and welcome letter. accommodation was better than pictures.
kids loved having own rooms and bathrooms (so did parents!). queens marketplace and kings shops are 2 min walk which is very convenient. restaurants are typically busy so earlier is better and most are first come first serve.
most activities are a drive, as expected, as we went all around the island so location was great. viewed volcano and lava tunnels, waterfalls and choc farm tour in hilo. went snorkeling in Kona and on boat with manta rays, (2steps beach is great for snorkeling), surfing south of kona for kids at kahaluu, scuba diving with big island divers, hiking to south to green sands and north to popolu black sands were amazing. the beach walking distance from here has great sunsets and just north of here hapuna and mauna kea beaches are beautiful. my son also did a tour with hawaii forest and trail to mauna kea summit which he loved and recommends.
in summary great place, great location, and great owners. mahalo!

Our visit to the Big Island was made even more enjoyable by this wonderfully comfortable and well equipped property. An excellent location, with a complete kitchen and all of the beach amenities you could possibly desire. Our host Marc was extremely helpful with the details to make our visit a lovely, personalized experience. We highly recommend this property.

Marc's townhome was the perfect location for our family of five. It was close to everything, very clean and gave us plenty of room inside. The beach amenities he has in the garage made it so easy to enjoy our time at the beach. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this property. Marc was very responsive through the whole process.

My family and I (spouse, 2 young kids, and my father in law) just stayed for a week at this property. The condo itself was great - perfect space for our family and had all the things we needed for a comfortable stay. I had my 1 and 3 year olds and loved that there was a pack n play and high chair for the baby. Everything was as described in the listing and well stocked. Marc was super responsive and helpful before and during our trip. We had an issue with the washing machine one day and the local contact, Grace came out to help and got a repairman there within a couple hours. Overall we loved it and would stay again!

This rental lives up to the listing. It is clean, kitchen is well appointed, plenty of "spaces" for our family to spread out and also gather for meals and games. There are 3 very comfortable lanai's that we used everyday. The beds are comfortable and the office loft was perfect for one of our guests who worked remotely for a week.
The location is great with the Queen's Market and King's Shops nearby for food options and shopping. The beach is within walking distance and has a great trail for hiking. We found many day hikes and beaches under an hour away.
We highly recommend it.
Thank you Marc & Barb!

We will be coming back highly recommend.

The property is in great condition with a very well laid out floor plan for privacy and large spaces to be together. The location is perfect for a complete island tour or to stay nearby for shopping, dining and beach days. Mark is on top of things as an owner, very responsive.

Our entire experience, from initial inquiry to final checkout was flawless. Marc is a fantastic host and F-1 exceeded our expectations! The townhome is centrally located to pools, markets and amazing beaches, yet offers privacy within the community. It was well-equipped both inside and out with plenty of beach/swimming gear for the entire family. The beach wagon was something we didn't realize we needed, but made all the difference when taking everything back/forth. Thanks again, Marc - we will be back!

The place was wonderful - we were able to walk to the beach, the store and restaurants. The place is well supplied and we cooked a lot in the spacious and convenient kitchen. The living room/dining room/kitchen kept everyone close enough to be part of the conversation but roomy enough to spread out. Coffee and breakfast on the lanai was perfect. The rooms were great and comfortable. Would come back again!

We were traveling with our 5 yo toddler and MIL. We hadn't realized when we booked the place the convenience of having a market to walk to across the street, not to mention the Rum Shack and shopping. Our daughter LOVED the bunk bed and books about Hawaii. Very well suited for families with kids. The place is well stocked and we would definitely consider staying here again next time we visit the Big Island.

I can't say enough nice things about our stay here. First of all, we had to book this property in an emergency after our initial place did not live up to the hype. Marc (along with his local team of Grace and Alesia) were so accommodating in helping us with this last minute booking and even allowing us to check-in early. The house was very clean when we got there, there was a bowl of fresh fruit waiting for us and we even got help setting up the high chair and crib for my 1.5 year old.
My older kids felt right at home with the bunk beds in the "kids room", the baby was comfortable in his "suite" (the large walk-in closet in the master bedroom), my husband and I slept like babies in the super comfy king-size bed and it was so nice that we all had our own bathrooms. Did I mention there was working AC?! So comfortable! Even with the AC off, we could turn on the huge ceiling fans, open the windows/doors and enjoy the fresh air.
Walking to Queens Marketplace for food, shopping and coffee was so easy and convenient. We played golf at the local course, which was beautiful and enjoyed seeing the dolphins at the Hilton, just a 5 minute drive away.
The beach at A-bay was fantastic! It was very easy to get to and everything we needed to take (beach wagon, toys, boogie boards, etc.) was all available for us in the garage. Marc even made it easy to put everything back in the right place, with pictures of where things belonged.
The location of the townhouse on the Big Island is incredible. We were easily able to get to beaches, boats, helicopters, restaurants, historical sites, etc. On this trip, we also stayed at a resort in Waikiki, but compared to that (and at a fraction of the price) our stay in Waikoloa was by far the best part of the trip.
Like I said, I have so many nice things to say, it's hard to get it all down. I would highly recommend this listing. We will be back and we will be staying here again!

Plenty of excellent, pristinely clean space for wife and me plus 3 young-adult children and one of their friends. Marc and his property manager were so friendly and easy to communicate with. Very close (can walk) to shopping/restaurants. A little far to walk to the A-bay beach in heat of the day (though we did it), but easy to drive there and to many other places. Nice pool and indoor garage.

Marc is such a wonderful host. He was very friendly and answered all my questions. His instructions to get to the property are spot on. Kona is 30 min away, but there are wonderful beaches 15 min of there. I would absolutely stay there again. I will miss corresponding with Marc!

This was our first actual vacation in years and I had never been to Hawaii. The home was beautifully decorated and incredibly clean. Marc is so great with his directions and all of his advice on grocery stores. we use the walk-in closet for a nursery for our baby because it was huge. I didn’t see that it came with a pack and play so I brought my own but there’s a pack and play and a high chair which is wonderful. There’s so many cleaning supplies and toiletries that can really make a difference when you’re on holiday. The other great thing was all of the beach and pool accoutrements that Marc keeps in the garage. We saw so many people come to the beach with just a towel and we were so fortunate that we had our pic of what we could bring with us. I would absolutely recommend staying here for anyone who has a large party. We cooked most meals and use the grill for several dinners and the sunset views off of the upstairs when I was wonderful. We will have a lot of wonderful memories of this house for our entire life!The lava rocks in the beach are so convenient and you can really get a lot of different experiences by staying in this house. Just book it you will love it!

The property was well maintained both inside and out. Just a short walk to shopping and restaurants at King’s and Queen’s shopping courts. The beach is a longer walk, but there’s plenty of parking if you decide to drive to A-Bay.

This is the best overall rental property I've ever stayed at. It comes with every amenity you could need - all the beach toys, stuff for the kids, immaculate bedrooms, and well furnished. Close to great restaurants, shopping, beaches. Also a good location for exploring both sides of the island. The owner is very helpful and always quick to reply to questions.

Marc was always accommodating and easy to communicate with. The home is the perfect setup for a family. It is close to shops, food, entertainment, the beach, golf, etc. the property was very cleaned and well stocked which was a life saver after getting off the long flight. Marc has plenty of beach accessories, and the ease of access to every amenity was much appreciated. Highly recommend him and his property!!

We could not have asked for a more perfect place. Thoughtful touches abound and the home is absolutely pristine. Very spacious and very well stocked kitchen. Location convenient to so much. Marc has everything organized and was extremely helpful in preparation for the trip and checked in during the trip just to make sure everything was great! Just could not have asked for a better place or a better host!

We've stayed in many villas and this is the best. Truly a home away from home! The villa was well equipped with amenities. It had a great start up supply of toiletries and detergents. The garage was small for our rental vehicle but it had everything needed for a wonderful day at the beach. Beach chairs, boogie boards, coolers, etc... The villa was very clean and well organized. The owner was informative and involved throughout the entire process. Would definitely stay here again!

From the moment that we requested information about this Villa in Waikoloa, we had a very good feeling; the owners - Marc and Barb were extremely responsive with regards to questions regarding the property as well as general information regarding the Island - which being first time visitors was important to us. First off the property was clean, spacious and very well equipped - we are a family of 6 (with a broad age spectrum.. 11 to 20+). The Villa is perfectly located, 20 minutes or so from Kona Airport, with easy access to a beautiful beaches only minutes away. Restaurants are easy to get to - walking distance in a nice shopping mall area, or a little further away in sourrounding villages/ towns. There is also a gourmet shopping supermart that is located in the same mall; where you can buy everything you need to prepare your own meals or take out quality prepared food. There’s even a Starbucks. During our 8 day stay, we visited the volcanoes national park, went horse back riding on an 8k acre ranch, did a night dive with Manta Rays, Fished, took surfing lessons, and snorkeled on beautiful beaches where we saw sea turtles and a spectacular variety of fish..... all of this was within easy reach of Waikoloa Beach Villas. This truly was a vacation to remember, and I would highly recommend this property to anyone.

We have stayed at Waikoloa Beach Resort many times over the last 6 years and this was by far one of our best stays! From the moment we contacted Marc, he was so prompt to repond and was extremely friendly and helpful. The property manager Joe was also fantastic! He checked in on us the day we arrived and even had the playpen and highchair all set up for us and our baby.
The unit was very clean and full stocked with anything you could possibly need! Our older son absolutely loved the upstairs kids bedroom. He was obsessed with the bunk beds, stuffed animals and loved writing notes on the dry erase board. The master bedroom was a great retreat for us at the end of the night. The bed was so comfy and we spent many nights on the lanai with some wine.
The supplies in the garage were incredible. We’ve never stayed in a unit with so much stuff to use at the beach! It was great for the kids, and for us to not have to pack any of it.
Although the downstairs lanai has no BBQ, the BBQ is so close that it really didn’t matter. The pool was also fantastic and was so close by.
This is a beautiful unit with a fantastic owner and I would not hesitate at all to recommend it to anyone else and would love to return one day ourselves.
Thank you Marc for the most memorable family vacation!!!

We rented this location for two weeks over Christmas and New Years. The condo was neat and spacious even for our large group of 8 people. The house was well supplied with everything that we needed for cooking at home and enjoying the many nearby beaches! The property manager was friendly and helpful and the property was well suited for a family travelling with children.
We booked our vacation well and advance and the owner Marc was super friendly and sent us a guide book and plenty of pictures of the things to check out on the island as it was our first time visiting the Big Island!
