Reviewer Comments:
Communications had been good, and we were expecting a good solid experience, but as we opened the door, a very musty smell hit us. Perhaps the carpets were shampoo'ed and left closed in after? It went away in 2-3 days. No problem. I went to bath, and noted no bar of soap or equivalent. I texted my Hawaii contact person, and she said that we were to have brought our own from the Mainland. I was gob smacked. Of course there was no shampoo either. On the last night the air conditioner conked out and we had 76 degrees in the apartment to try to sleep. I texted her a picture of the Thermostat, she said she did not have anything she could do. Needless to say, compensation for a night that could not be spent sleeping was NOT offered. Lastly, I forgot my bathing suit. Isn't that always how life goes? So the contact told me I could drive back to the Hawaii life office between certain hours to get it. And it was very kind of her to take it there. So I drove two hours to get the suit, and don't you know it, she had not checked and the office was actually closed. So there went our afternoon, wasted. Now before you say I am the worlds worst complainer, I agree that is was a lovely apartment in many ways! These are across from the Queens shops and we'd been in a similar one before. But the Hawaii life hosting part of the experience needs an upgrade.

Reviewer Comments:
The place was clean and Modern and close to the beach... just a 7 minute walk. It had chairs and boogie boards... an outdoor grill on the deck and a pool with grills. I definitely recommend this place.

This property is a large beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bath with a fantastic outdoor Barbecue. The grounds have beautiful pools and is close to the beach and restaurants. Close to grocery stores and gas station.
I will rent here again.

We loved our stay in this nice cozy condo. The home was well furnished and maintained. I could tell that the unit has recently been given an uplift such as new carpeting and probably more interior remodeling, which collectively add extra bonus points to make the stay in this unit a pleasant experience. The only downside was that the front door key was not in the lock box though it was supposed to be there according to check-in instructions. Fortunately, I was able to get hold of the host on the phone immediately and she gave me a work-around solution to enter the unit. A big mahalo for the help she provided on the spot! Overall, we were very happy with the condo!

We originally booked this vacation in March of '23 through VRBO. In July we were notified that the property was purchased by Hawaii Life. The transition from a VRBO rental to Hawaii Life was seamless and trouble free. About the condo: it was very clean, had new carpet, was well stocked with necessities, and is located in a great location. This was the second time my family has stayed in this exact condo, and we would do it again.

We had a good time staying at this property. We traveled with our 3-year-old and infant and the pack and play and highchair available was convenient. This property had very nice new carpet and a well-equipped kitchen. The complex had a nice pool for the kids and was close to shops and restaurants. The only negatives were a rather creaky master bed and a lack of extra toilet paper. We also had some difficulty receiving check-in information but Vrbo had indicated this may have been from a system error on Vrbo's end, not necessarily the property owner/managers fault. Overall we really enjoyed this property and would consider staying here again.

Loved our recent stay in Waikoloa. The carpet had recently been replaced, and the condo was immaculate when we arrived. Communication with both the owner and property manager was very easy. Loved having the on property pool for the days we didn't feel like packing up for the beach. Pretty sure my daughter's favorite activity was looking for geckos on the lanai each morning.

Comfortably furnished unit with easy access via elevator. The well maintained complex has two beautiful pools and is close to shops, restaurants and golf courses. This means some noise from mowers, blowers and nearby putting greens. The single car garage has a jumble of beach gear for kids and adults that could use a bit of editing. We enjoyed being able to walk to the beach and there are historic petroglyph fields and fish ponds also within walking distance. As mentioned by a previous guest, the unit could use a deep clean, but the carpet is new and still in very good shape. We enjoyed meals on the breezy lanai and slept well in comfortable beds.

Condo is an affordable option to much higher priced resorts in the area. Nice view of the golf course. A-Bay beach is a pretty long walk and there are much nicer beaches within a few minutes drive. Being next door to Queens Marketplace and Kings Shops was a plus.

We loved our stay at this property with just a few items worth noting.
1. The property manager on island never sent our intake info until I complained to VRBO. Luckily we then received it prior to starting our travel.
2. The unit is really agreat size but needs some work, the entire place as well as the garage could use a deep cleaning and re-inventory of provisions.
3. Charged $240 for an "additional bed". Not sure why, we only asked that the two twins be pushed together and made up as a king.
We would totally stay there again but need some improvements first. Thanks.

We loved our stay at the Waikoloa Beach Villas. The location can’t be beat! This condo complex is located right next to the Kings and Queens shops, which both offer great dining and shopping options. There is a small market in the Queen’s Shops but it is pricey. You are better off hitting a major chain grocery store closer to the airport. We also loved this condo’s proximity to A Beach…just a 10 min walk away. It was a wonderful beach to relax on and we loved eating at Lava Lava Beach Club located right there on the beach. This condo was well equipped with beach chairs, towels, toys, etc. This made beach days easy to prepare for and ensured a very relaxing vacation!! The pool and workout facilities were nice though we preferred to be at the beach most days. The condo was the perfect size for our family of 4 and had everything we needed! The lanai with the private grill was also very convenient. My only tiny complaint is the bedding. As other reviewers have stated, the bedding is pretty worn and could use replacing but we found the beds to be comfortable enough. It was an amazing vacation and we can’t wait to return to beautiful Kona!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 11 night stay at this condo. Everything came as advertised and was very clean and well equipped. The location couldn’t have been better, close to the pool, beach and shopping. The villa’s grounds were also well maintained and extremely quiet. Lastly, because of the big ceilings fans and lovely cross breeze we never had tWe would love stay again in the future.

The property is in great location. The condo itself needs some updating. The carpet is stained and worn, needs to be replaced. The bed linens were worn and need to be replaced. Both the dining room table and lanai table were too small for 4 people with plates and condiments, etc.

Our stay here was so comfortable! We had three adult children with us and we all fit comfortably. The place is in a beautiful spot with lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. We use the outdoor grill and cooked some too and we had everything we needed. The local beach was gorgeous and there were plenty of towels, chairs and snorkel gear etc to use at the condo. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a place on the big island! Wish we could stay forever!
