We loved this location! Last year we stayed in Waikaloa Village so this was fun being close to beach and shops- all in walking distance! Beautiful condo, had everything we needed. Only down side was the grill on the patio was so smokey we ended up going to the pool grill instead. I’m not sure if this was due to the high winds or the hood vent not working great or what exactly, but not a huge deal. Also, not any issue with this condo (we loved the condo) but the hot tub at our pool had a lot of mosquitos and little flies that were biting us- we haven’t had that in past trips here so not sure if it was this location or what. Besides that it was perfect, LOVED the condo itself! We had a great time. Thank u!

Loved the rental and location was perfect, close to the shopping center, the beach, and the pool. Loved having the bikes to get around and the property management was excellent with communication! Would definitely book again!

All and all, we enjoyed our stay at the Waikoloa beach villas. The condo provided everything we needed and more. We enjoyed the location very much because we were a couple minutes away from a beautiful beach, restaurants and stores. As well as having a swimming pool with a spa and fitness center 50 ft away from the back porch was awesome. Also having an open area for my 5 and 9 year old to run around just outside the back sliding door was a huge plus. Another huge plus was having an abundance of snorkeling gear, bicycles, cooler, beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards was super awesome. As a father, those supplies saved us a ton of money on all the thing’s every family needs or at least wants at a beautiful beach let alone the beautiful beaches of Hawaii! We had a great time and will definitely come back again. Thanks for having us.

The house was perfect for our family of 5. Very clean and spacious. Quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to great shopping center and restaurants.
What makes this house perfect is ALL amenities provided. Bikes, beach gears, snorkel gears and anything you need to have enjoyable outing.
Thank you for making our stay one of the best.

First, my credentials: we have been visiting Hawaii for about 25 years having stayed at either Waikoloa or Mauna Lani at least 18 times. So, I consider myself a professor emeritus on the subject. So, I’ll do the GOOD, BAD and UGLY approach.
GOOD: All in all, it’s a pretty good value We were 2 couples with a teen on the couch. While not spacious it was roomy enough. The air conditioning is excellent with a thermostat settable to 72 reinforced with ceiling fans. Beware, many condos at Waikoloa have thermostats that keep the unit too warm and some turn off when you leave and are in the mid 80’s or more upon your return. The beds are quite comfortable and we almost never heard the neighbors. The pool is far enough away so the sound of kids yelling and splashing is muted but close enough to walk over in a minute. Lots and lots of beach towels as well as a well-stocked garage of snorkeling and other beach stuff. Five or six bicycles as well. We loved the outside barbeque. It’s advertised as electric but it’s gas. I believe The Big Island is the only island that allows patio stoves and they add a lot of fun. Lastly, you will be a few feet from black lava environment it is so well landscaped one never notices.
BAD: This is NOT a luxury unit.The unit, while well cleaned well upon our arrival, overall, after about 25 years of service is weathered and never been updated. We needed to call maintenance several times. The smoke kept going off in the evening was a bit annoying. However, the company was quite good fixing issues in short order. The kitchen is poorly stocked with plates and silverware. We needed to run the dishwasher all the time. The cutting knives were very dull even having trouble cutting through the skin of a tomato. I strongly advise visitors to pack a couple knives as this is a common problem. Otherwise the kitchen is quite good. However, the living space furniture and window treatments are rough and in need of replacement.
UGLY: You will enjoy your condo much better if you find one with windows on three sides. They feel more spacious and not so dark. Not much of an ugly but actually based upon many years of experience this place was ok. Lastly, the BI is the most fun, diverse, and honest of all islands in Hawaii. I hope I have been fair.

This was a perfect spot for me and my spouse to stay during the weekend. Stayed closed to work as I was scheduled to do many hours of preparation for food events. It just didn’t make sense to commute 2 hours to work everyday on top of 15hr shifts.

Very comfortable. We were grateful that the condo had bikes we could ride around the neighborhood.

Have stayed in this resort quite a few times. This was our least liked experience/condo. I realize there are rules, but we had a pool “guard” who didn’t allow kids to play (no foam football, no toys, no “horseplay”, no floaties- even when pool was empty). She made us feel watched, everytime we turned around there she was! Condo AC was broke so we had no AC for the entire stay. Took 4 days to get a portable which was ancient and didn’t work. Got an 2nd one - shortly before we left. All the light light bulbs were “operating room” cool toned LEDs. Toilet was broke. Condo was just overall more run down than the others we have stayed in within the same complex. It was well stocked with supplies such as beach towels, coolers, etc so that was nice. Landscaping is nice.

Loved sitting on the lanai in the morning and drinking coffee! The condo was perfect for our family of four and had everything we needed. Great location to walk to many amenities and a good starting point to explore the island. The bikes were nice to have and used often. Overall, lovely stay. I’d definitely agree with a previous review regarding needing new blinds that keep the sun out, noise overhead from upstairs is quite annoying and it is way too hot to sleep comfortably at night…not able to adjust thermostat:(

Everything was alright except for the party upstairs. Sounded like a stampede. Super heavy walking and stomping that made staying in doors kinda. You could hear every step and the kids running super loud

We really enjoyed our condo. It was quiet and close to walkable services. Only note is that is is a little more remote from activities in Kona and Hilo, so things close earlier and there are fewer restaurant options. But, it is much less crowded and close to other places like Hapuna Beach, which we loved!

Great stay, great location. Exactly as advertised.
Minus:
- AC in the master bedroom needs to be as good as in the living room/kitchen. The master bedroom was too warm, the AC was not cooling the master bedroom.
- Please invest in blinds and curtains. They are old and needs to be upgraded.

Condo was clean and description of property was accurate. We appreciated the extra gear - beach chairs, boogie boards, coolers, bikes, etc. Lots of great beaches within a 15 min drive or less. Condo is located very close to the swimming pool/fitness center.
