We are long term annual visitors to the Big Island and are familiar with all the rental properties in Waikoloa. Fairway Villas meets most of our needs with convenience and comfort.Rental agents Wayne and Melissa are low key,professional and very helpful.

The location was convenient, the view of the golf course was beautiful and the amenities such as the pool, shared BBQ commons and fitness space was thoroughly enjoyed. There was even as lovely gathering with live music that was coordinated by one of the residents, where everyone was welcome to come. The host, Wayne was very helpful, answered any questions we had and when we contacted him about the dishwasher not working - a repair man was there and it was fixed within the hour! Amazing service!
Our family truly enjoyed the Waikoloa Village Resort area and would recommend the Fairway Villas as a spacious and comfortable home away from home! Thank you Wayne!

My wife and I tagged a couple weeks on to a family vacation which was geared around our grandchildren. This was a particularly nice way to extend our trip in a well equipped condo. Thank you management and cleaning staff for a great vacation.

We all enjoyed our stay at Fairway Villas in Waikoloa. It had a beautiful view and was very close to shopping areas for necessities, although we did most shopping in Kona as Waikoloa has very expensive prices. There is however a great dive shop in Queen's Shops which helped us with all our diving needs. Waikoloa is a bit out of the way, it is a resort area so not many locals can afford to live nearby. Due to this you can expect a family/retiree atmosphere with early quiet. We usually drove at least 30 minutes on way every day. If I were to return to The Big Island I would choose to stay in Kailua rather than Waikoloa. The unit was very clean however some things appeared to need replacing, the carpets had up turned edges which we frequently stumbled over, the couch was also quite lumpy. Overall it was a nice and for people looking for a 'stay around the resort' type of vacation I would recommend it.

Reviewer Comments:
Fairway Villas is a very nice development with fairly well-maintained grounds, a very nice pool area, and a very satisfactory workout area. Views from the third floor are expansive, overlooking the golf course and the mountains in the distance. However, we have stayed in other developments in Waikoloa (Colony Villas and Hale Kai) which are overall superior to Fairway Villas.The condo unit itself is poorly maintained. Upon arrival we were blasted by the heat of a closed up unit and needed to call the owner/manager to get the AC turned on. Looking around at the stained upholstery, curled-up floor coverings, and bug-filled window ledges was not a positive first impression. Getting deeper into the unit, the bath towels did not smell clean and the kitchen towels were nauseating with the smell of very rancid grease. This smell permeated the drawers in the kitchen as well. The windows throughout the unit are virtually inoperable, either near impossible to open and close or incapable of remaining open due to broken mechanisms. Overall, the website property description was very different than the physical unit.In fairness to the owner/manager, he was very responsive to my call and the concerns that I voiced about the unit. Within hours, we had all new bath towels delivered as well as a huge bottle of laundry detergent and canister of dishwasher soap. As to the window issue, he said that owners were in dispute with the builders over the poor quality of windows installed and they hoped to resolve that problem in the future. Unfortunately, that did nothing to address our stay and led to our using the AC far more than we would have otherwise. (We always turn off the AC and enjoy open windows at night, to hear and feel the wonderful Hawaiian breezes. Not this trip.) Until the problems noted above are fully addressed, I cannot recommend this property.

We went to Big Island for vacation last year and I found this condo on Internet and we loved it. So when we went this year we got the same condo. Would definitely recommend it. The location is really good close to nice shops, nice hotels like Marriot and Hilton and the most important the most beautiful beaches are within couple minutes drive or about 10-15 minutes walking distance.

We stayed at Fairway Villas A-31 over Christmas and New Years 2015/16. The condo was an easy drive from the airport. It was large, nicely decorated and clean. It was well appointed with everything we needed including Tommy Bahama beach chairs and an umbrella, coolers, beach towels and lots of linens and bath towels. It is right at the entrance to the complex and a short walk to King's Shops and Queen's Market. Five minutes away are two fabulous beaches, Hapuna Beach and the beach at Mauna Kea resort. We have stayed in several vacation rentals on all of the islands and this one was one of the best.

Condo was clean and well maintained. Found to be as advertised with excellent supply of dishes, cooking pots and utensils. Very quiet location on golf course. Short walk to beach using pathways. Shopping close by for groceries. Great beaches close by reached within 10-15 minute drive. View of golf course. Did have patio door handle come loose, repaired with a call to management. Bed mattress very firm but still surprisingly comfortable. Barbecues are little far from the unit. Lots of beach towels and chairs. The big island is now our favorite and we will be back. We went zip lining, and on several hikes exploring the island. Enjoyed dinner at Roy's and Jackie Rey's. Our favorite beaches were Hapuna and Mauna Kea. Snorkelling at Mani Lani and 2 step was amazing.

This property was absolutely amazing!!! It was spotless, well decorated, spacious, modern, and perfectly furnished. We have been to the Big Island many times, but this has been by far the best condo we have stayed in. We felt like we were in our own home. The location of this condo is great. The Waikoloa area is our favorite. Close to the Kings & Queens shopping areas...you can actually walk over to them. Close to great beaches. The perfect location to venture out and visit anywhere in the island. Lastly, booking with Wayne was easy. He was quick to respond and answered any questions. We hope to return soon.

Our family of 5 (3 busy boys aged 10, 15 and 17) had a wonderful experience staying at Fairway Villas. The condo was easily big enough to house the 5 of us and was in a perfect location - close to many fantastic Kohala Coast beaches and with easy walking access to the Hilton Resort. We enjoyed day trips all over the Big Island from our location, covering much of the island during our 2 week stay. Fairway Villas has convenient shopping and many restaurants close by too. Our only minor complaint was that our lanai patio received no direct sunshine, but I'm sure the fact that we stayed in December and early January affected that. The infinity pool is on the smaller side but is still refreshing and really, with all those beaches around who cares? The condo itself was full of beach equipment that we were free to use, and the place was in excellent and very clean shape when we arrived. I'd stay at Fairway Villas again in a heartbeat. Mahalo!

Thank you for your assistance during our stay here at Fairway Villas. The condo is everything and more than we expected. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate four of our days, but no one controls the weather. The books and brochures were very helpful. I have a Garmin GPS, but the printed materials in the condo gave me address and directions needed when no address is available.I will recommend you to all my friends and family when they decide to visit Hawaii. Although we did not take full advantage of all the amenities, we now know the benefits of lodging at a condo complex.

This is a great location in sunny Waikoloa! The unit is beautifully decorated, has a nice view of Lakes Golf Course and has lots of books and games to choose from.. You can watch golfers approach the first hole right from the balcony. . It was also very quiet. Our only hiccup was that although we had hand soap in both bathrooms, there was no bar soap in either. We also could have used a back-up roll of toilet paper and a box of tissues in the second bathroom. I contacted management both by email and by phone, asking for bar soap, toilet paper and tissues and despite assurances they would be delivered, they never were.

We enjoyed our stay at Fairway Villas. It is close to shops and many food choices and is a short walk to the beach to watch the sunset. The view over the golf course is beautiful. The unit is in great shape. We did have problems with the icemaker and the owner sent over a maintenance person who quickly fixed it. The unit is in a gated community and is very quiet. The pool is spectacular and has multiple high quality grills for your use. There is no grill in the unit itself. In the closet on the lanai and in the bedroom closet we found snorkels, masks, bodyboards, chairs, and an umbrella to take to the local beaches. Plenty of masks but not much for flippers. One note is that most of the paperwork at the unit says checkout time is noon but the reservation says 11am. The door code no longer worked after 11am so make sure you check out by then. We would definitely rent this unit again.

This was our very first time using VRBO & renting a condo for a family vacation. The property is beautiful, the condo was spacious for my family of four and well equipped with everything that we could possibly need. We had everything.....a well stocked kitchen with basic items (we were responsible for fresh/perishable items) to pool/ocean toys. There is a smaller sized pool on property and a really nice beach within walking distance (20 minutes). We had internet access & a variety of streaming services for our use in the evening as we relaxed after a busy day exploring the island. There are shops within a short walking distance and by all means....take time to get shaved ice from OBISIC (Original Big Island Shaved Ice Co.). Don't worry if you see a line - or even very long line - it moves quickly.
Wayne, our contact with the rental company, made sure to keep us informed with current health guidelines for the state of Hawaii and for the Big Island, directions on how to get to the property and a binder with information to help us during our visit.
Overall, really recommend staying here and would do it again in a heartbeat.
