We loved the unit; spacious , clean and had everything we needed. The pool was lovely and beautiful beach 15 mins away. We had a small issue with a blind and James the maintenance guy came out and fixed it swiftly. The only things that may need looking at are: dishwasher first clean too well and the tv downstairs was tricky to figure out. But overall, it was a beautiful place would return to this lovely home.

This condo was actually better than expected. The additional beach gear was very useful and the overall setting of the accommodations made this a high rating. Vacasa came through in the way they interacted and kept up with questions about our needs. The cleaning crew is to be recognized for their thoroughness. Overall a great vacation. Thanks

Great property with pool and amenities nearby. We had a great trip! Good launching spot to explore the island. Very comfortable condo. Only thing we’d have different is the flooring in the unit. Many cracked and broken floor tiles and fortunate no one cut their toes.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen/beach supplies are well stocked. The living room furniture has been updated since the photos were taken, too. The only thing that proved to be a bit of a pain for us was having two cars and only one parking spot. The listing doesn’t explain that there are other spots to park within the resort area but they fill up every day, so it became a daily stress for us trying to search for limited parking whenever we used our second vehicle, and sometimes wouldn’t find any. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay and would come back.

The location is beautiful and very central to all the best adventures on the Kona coast. The pools are fantastic and the unit has everything you need for a comfortable fun stay. Vacasa was also fantastic service and responsive. I highly recommend.

The room was clean and fresh. NO BUGS or CRITTERS.
There were a few things that I want to point out though. First the pull out couch in the living room was broken and very dangerous iron that I scraped my leg on. They definitely need to have that replaced. Second the recliner chairs makes a lot of noise when in use. Third their was no rice cooker available/provided. Room was not stocked up like other rooms.

The condo was clean, nicely decorated and good communication with email messages. It actually had a few kitchen supplies, coffee filters, salt, pepper, spices. I had asked about these things ahead of time and was told none of these would be available, so I got before checking in. Would have been nice if I had been given correct answer. Also very cheap, one ply toilet paper. Those are my only issues. It was nice

This condo is a fantastic location both within Waikoloa and within the condo community itself. We had a great time and I would stay there again. Everything was exactly as expected!

The area is nice and well maintained. The condo was clean and had a nicely equipped kitchen. About what I expected for an area like Waikoloa. However, SEE BELOW
1. the garage is not accessible to renters and was locked but does show in the virtual tour for use. We intended to use the garage for our dive gear. Although it states 1 reserved parking spot it DOES NOT state the garage is
off limits. If you have 2 cars this would not be a good rental for you.
2. I booked through VRBO and when I submitted it instantly kicked me out and Vacasa popped up stating I was confirmed. This is confusing and could be more clear about the entitiy you are booking through.
3. The beach umbrella was missing from the beach items in closet.

Great location on the big island. Close to the things to see in the north, Mauna Kea, highway to Hilo, close to beaches, Waikoloa shops, etc. Would stay here again.

We enjoyed our weeklong stay as four adults participating in the Lavaman triathlon. The location was perfect, very convenient to the event and close to shopping, beaches, and restaurants. We loved the pool area. The condo was clean and well appointed throughout with plenty of beach gear, kitchen utensils, linens, etc. The property manager was always responsive and check-in and check-out were seamless.
It was inconvenient to only have one assigned parking space. Our 2-bedroom condo slept four people so we had two couples, each with our own car. We scrambled every day to find a parking space for the second vehicle. On this issue, the property manager was responsive but not helpful. They suggested we use Google Park to find parking spaces outside the resort area.
Some of the furnishings were not as shown on the listing. Furniture in the living area, especially the couch, needs to be replaced and updated. The beds were comfortable. Bathrooms could also use remodeling as some tiles were cracked and the tub and showers were old style.
There was maintenance on the irrigation system on the grounds so the grass was torn up, areas roped off, pool closed, workers present, etc. Although we realize that maintenance needs to happen, the communication was “after the fact.” We probably would not have chosen this unit had we known about the construction. There was trash and detritus in our yard every day. It did negatively affect the overall ambience of the setting. I think this should have been communicated at the time of booking.

The condo was beautifully decorated and up-to-date. It was very clean.
The kitchen, laundry, bedrooms and bathrooms were stocked with all the necessities of a home away from home. Some surprise bonuses that came in handy were various sized ice coolers, beach chairs, 2 sets of golf clubs, multiple boogie boards and snorkel gear. We didn't take advantage of all of it but it was nice to have it available.
The management staff was locally available, which was much appreciated. I've stayed at places where this was not the case and communicating to someone in a different time zone is challenging. So I appreciate having someone available to address concerns promptly.
I would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a 2 bed/2 bath condo in Waikaloa.

The Waikoloa Colony Villas are all about location: golf nearby, tennis on site, beaches and shopping nearby. And Waikoloa enjoys some beautiful weather. Hard combination to beat.

Very nice 2 bedroom condo for a family. We enjoyed the space a lot and great shared amenities to get outside and enjoy some beaches and activities outdoors.
A short Drive to beaches but a walk to golf.

We really enjoyed our stay here! During previous visits to Hawaii we've booked hotels on the beach and the four of us have shared one room. Now that the kids are older we've decided we want more space; so instead of being right on a beach we've committed to driving to a beach each morning during our stay.
This place worked great for that strategy; and it's so close to the pool/jacuzzi that it was easy to get in some pool time after a day of touring.
It should be noted that it is NOT easy to walk to a beach from this unit. In fact, there is not that much near the unit, period; so going for a walk, say after dinner, is not all that attractive. There IS a grocery store and mall nearby, maybe a five minute drive, so that was great.

Great pool close by, spacious unit, very quiet and clean.

Clean and comfortable Villa. Nice quiet location away form noisy resorts. Only a few steps to pool. 5 minutes from beach & shopping/restaurants. Newer beach chairs. Vacasa sent over a new beach umbrella within 30 minutes of my texting them. water dispenser on fridge a money saver vs. buying bottled water. Would stay here again.

The condo was clean, roomy and comfortable for our family of five adults. Has all of the essentials for cooking, cocktails, and coffee. Also has plenty of beach gear to use: boogie boards, chairs, snorkel gear, etc. Very close to the pool. Pleased with our choice and stay.

The unit is well appointed, in a quite residential area, and has excellent amenities: tennis courts, pool/hot tub, weight room, and cardio fitness room (were surprised to find separate rooms for workouts). And nearby are excellent dining and shopping options. Also, a variety of golf courses, ones to suit all playing levels. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Excellent two-bedroom townhouse. Booking the place was fast and easy, with excellent communication from Heidi Bogart (property manager). There were a few glitches, but were easily resolved by Heidi. We especially liked the full-sized washer/dryer (not the small stack-up models common in other places), french-door refrigerator and upgraded cable TV system, including Showtime. The facility was well-organized, clean and had no evidence of bugs. The location of the facility was great, as we spent most of the time golfing in Waikoloa, Mauna Lani, Kona and Waimea - with an occasional trip on Saddle Road to Hilo. (Our son needed to get a loco moco fix at Cafe 100 and Zippys.) We frequently come back to the Big Island for family vacations and will definitely like to come back to this condo.

My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful first trip to the big island due in large part to the great experience we had at the villa. I've convinced my wife condo rentals are the way to go vs. hotels, this trip sealed the deal. I could not stand the thought of spending 9 days in a hotel room. My daughter loved having her own bed/bathroom and spreading out on the king size bed. My wife and I enjoyed the upper level "master suite" with walk in closet. Nice to unpack and have room to spread out. The Keurig in the kitchen was nice if you're used to brewing your coffee that way. A reusable filter pod is available so you can enjoy the ever-present Kona coffee whenever the urge for a cup may arise. Quick tip: food is expensive, after picking up our rental car we drove straight to Costco to pick up essentials (bottled water, cereal, wine, chips, etc) and saved a ton of $. Target and Walmart also near to Costco. Recommend as there is little for groceries near the villa. Closest grocery store is in Queens Market (1mi.), but expect to pay top dollar for the convenience. Great beaches are close (15 min. to Hapuna, Beach 69) with amazing snorkeling @ Beach 69. Heidi was easy to contact and very nice allowing us to check-in a couple hours early. Overall a really great family vacation with wonderful memories we'll be able to share for a lifetime. The villa was the icing on the cake.
Pros:
+ Unit in excellent condition, spacious, great layout and quiet.
+ Extremely close to pool/hot tub.
+ Open kitchen, well stocked.
+ All the beach gear you'll need; chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and beach towels.
+ Lava Lava Beach Club
+ Great location, short drives to everything in the Waikoloa Beach Resort area.
Cons:
- Garage is small. Rented an Hyundai Sonata and it barely fit, I found it easiest to back in. Had to pull out for others to get in. No way Mustang, Jeep or full sized car would fit.
- After the first day you'll be trying to figure out how to extend your vacation.

My husband and I spent a wonderful week over New Years in this beautiful villa. I can't think of a more magical spot to celebrate the new year. We have completely fallen in love with the Island and left thinking there is so much more we wanted to do. We stayed very busy while we were there and had just settled in to full relaxation mode when it was time to leave. The villa was very conducive to this. We were completely comfortable and felt like we were home. The unit is lovely and beautifully decorated. It is spacious and filled with light. Both King size beds were very comfortable and there was a great pillow selection. All the towels and linen seemed brand new and were plentiful. The kitchen is fully stocked and has all modern conveniences including a top of the line new refrigerator. There is a lanai off the upstairs bedroom and a large porch off the dining room. We especially enjoyed this and sat out each morning drinking coffee and watching the birds. My grandchildren loved running around on the grassy lawn. The pool was directly across the street. The location is perfect. There are lots of walking paths and shopping near by. And, of course, the magnificent ocean! We liked Hapuna Beach and spent a lot of time on the beach and cove at the nearby Fairmont resort where we snorkeled and went paddle boarding. Our favorite activities were taking a long day trip to Volcano Park and hiking into the Pulu Valley. Breathtaking views and waterfalls along the way.
I have to mention Heidi Bogart, the booking agent and property manager. I had a good feeling about her from our first correspondence and my instincts proved to be correct. She is highly responsive, professional and very pleasant. She and the property owners were quick to correct anything we asked. This includes bringing us a brand new refrigerator on New Years Eve and a $75 gift certificate to a local restaurant for our inconvenience. We would definitely book this unit again with her. I give my highest recommendation.

My wife and I recently spent 5 days at 776710, Waikoloa Colony Villas (home just yesterday, Dec 7). The condo had recently been painted and was exceptionally clean and bright. Kitchen, with island layout, granite counter tops is very functional and well equipped, with appliances and utensils that appeared to be mostly new. Better, if not the best, of any condo we have stayed at over the years. One bedroom and large bathroom on upper floor and second bedroom and full bath on main floor makes unit very suitable for family or two couples. The patio door, and smallish lanai look out on to green space, landscaping and golf course. They face more or less west, so some very stunning skies as sun was setting. Lanai is relatively private from other's, and was quiet during our stay. With table and 4 chairs, all meals at condo were outside.
Attached garage is a little snug for getting car in and out, but useful for unloading and loading suitcases. The unit has one designated parking stall as well, which we used other than the above noted activities.
We did not use the on site pool, tennis court or fitness room, but they also appeared clean and well kept.
The area has lots to offer, with beautiful beaches 10 minutes away by car, funky Hawi 30 - 40 minutes away (really good Sat market), hiking into Pololu Valley not far from Hawi. Beach chairs, some beach toys and insulated soft cooler pack that are there were great for taking refreshments to beach.
We meet with Heidi one afternoon, she is very accommodating and good to work with. We most certainly would recommend her to find your Waikoloa vacation stay, and would recommend this unit to friends and family.
