Property was just as advertised and in n a great location in the complex, across from the pool and BBQs. With 2 master suites at opposite ends of the unit, it was perfect for two couples to share. Condo had everything we needed and quickly felt like home. Beautiful lanai and great sunsets every night.

Villa 18 at the shores was our home away from home for the last month. The complex is familiar to us but it was our first time staying at villa 18. It was an excellent place to stay. The lanai was our favorite place to be. It offered a great view the golf course and a partial view of the ocean. The condo was spacious and great to entertain our family members that came to stay. A suggestion would be to add ancillary kitchen appliances such as an air fryer and/or an instant pot. They use less electricity than standard appliances. Providing a coffee maker with an automatic shut off would be better as well. Overall a great stay!

Wow! One of the nicest vacation rentals I've stayed in. The attention to detail is great, from the fully stocked kitchen (silverware, pots/pans, dishes), beach towels and 2 chairs, TVs in every room, and washer/dryer. Ideal for a group of three or two couples, this spacious home was standout. The expansive lanai was my favorite with beautiful views of the golf course and was the perfect place for morning coffee. The property is in a quiet community with a clean pool, and is close to the massive Hilton resort which we explored a bit, but looks like you need a day pass for the Hilton pools.
Although there were tiny ants in the kitchen this was the only minor negative because the overall quality and cleanliness of the place was outstanding. Parking right in front followed by a flight of stairs up to the private entrance. I would gladly return to the Big Island just to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, spacious and well maintained condo. A lot of nice little touches to make our stay very comfortable and the management was very helpful and regularly in touch to make sure things were going well. The property is conveniently located, with a short drive to plenty of shops and restaurants, and walking distance to the shore. Very satisfied!

High ceilings made for bright, airy rooms. Nice large kitchen with plenty of lighting. Undercover parking attached to the villa saved having to carry stuff across the parking lot, The pool was right across the road and a really nice beach was just minutes away by the Queen’s Shops. The keyless entry door locks eliminated the need to check in at a desk, especially if arriving after hours. We did note a lack of silverware and dishes for the four of us. Beds were comfortable, linens were nice. The lanai was a great place to spend time as the sun came up. Our parents traveled along with us and stayed in one of the bungalow units. We preferred a villa instead. Overall, it was a quiet community and well maintained. We would stay here again.

Wonderful stay. Condo did not disappoint. While the condo price point is high in general we felt it was worth the money mainly due to the location. The furnishings are exactly like the pictures and while the condo was clean when we arrived it is due for a deep cleaning, more than a cleaning person can do in the few hours they between renters. The only thing I really had a problem with was the closets in each bedroom were filled with stuff that belonged to the owner leaving a small amount of room for our clothes. In all the years we’ve rented thru VRBO we’ve never run into this. The guest bedroom had a full size step ladder in the closet (one you would normally store outdoors) plus large empty boxes stacked up on the closet floor. The master bedroom had very large framed pictures resting on the back wall of the closet and a vacuum and assorted mops and pails taking over half of the floor space. The condo had two locked storage closets plus a very large (the largest) locked closet in the master bedroom. It was just odd especially considering the cost. In spite of that the location won the day for us however I’m not sure I would rent the same unit for the price we paid

I've stayed many times at this property but this is the first time I've stayed in one of the townhomes. The noise problems I experienced at other buildings in the development aren't a problem with this building. Great until. Great location. Great lanai.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at this property. The place was clean and provided a comfortable space with a beautiful view of the golf course. Additionally, markets and restaurants were conveniently located nearby. We loved it so much that we're already looking forward to returning for our next trip.

Great place with everything you need. There are a few steps; nothing too crazy.
If we come back to Waikoloa we would stay here again.

We loved staying at the Waikoloa Shores villa. The layout was perfect for two couples! The location of the unit is also perfect in that we walked across the street to use the pool, hot tub and BBQ grill. The lanai was wonderful after a fun day of golf for relaxing, dining and playing cards….great stay!

This is a great layout for two couples. We loved having two bedrooms each with attached bathrooms. The kitchen is small but serviceable. Overall, the entire place needs some serious updating and better lighting, but the beds were comfortable which is very important to us. The lanai is a fabulous space with a nice view. The complex was very quiet. We appreciated the use of the two beach chairs provided. Our only problem was the teeny tiny ants that are all over the kitchen. They were a nuisance, but we would still stay here again.

We enjoyed our latest visit to the Big island in no small part because of our stay at #18. Very roomy, clean, well stocked kitchen and quiet. We would love to stay here again.

Nice condo layout, beautiful view of the golf course and sunsets. Small issues with functionality of the dishwasher, toilets running and very difficult sliding door. Overall it was a very pleasant stay.

The floor plan of this condo with two master bedrooms is ideal for two couples. The lanai is huge and is perfect for dining and lounging outdoors - perfect for watching sunsets. Communication with the property management company was great, and they were very responsive to any issues we had.

The unit faces the green on a golf course (as opposed to other units) which is really nice. There is a pool right across from the unit as well. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels were provided (though we didn't find any kitchen towels - just a roll of paper towels). The unit is located about midway into a community that is open to the public, though some areas are gated off (including this condo - you get the gate code). There are a handful of stores and restaurants within this community, and the next community is only about one mile up the street which doubles your options for stores and restaurants which is really convenient (it is also open to the public). There is good beach access too and the beach is quite nice - there are parts of it where it is just sand with nice protected swimming, parts that are shaded with trees, and parts that are rocky. Overall a really nice place to stay. The weather on this part of the island is nice - rarely rains and is surprisingly dry.

This unit is secluded from other units, close to the pool and bbq area. It is well appointed with comfortable beds. Couldn’t ask for better.

Wonderful location and great space. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Condo was nice and clean. Downside is that there were no beach supplies. What they did have was old and in bad shape. Kitchen was updated but everyday appliances like coffee machine and blender outdated. Overall a nice experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week here with our adult son. It is close to the pool, spa and bbq, yet feels very private. We used the kitchen a lot. All the appliances work, but the oven LED readout no longer works. Overall, we were very happy with the place.
