Great property - excellent unit. The Condo had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We took advantage of the Hilton pass and visited the property pool and beaches daily. Close to everything. Would definitely consider returning for a future stay. Mahalo!

We have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. Location was great - loved the beach and pool as well as the natural ponds. Loved having access to golf and the Hilton. Everything you need is right there- restaurants, groceries and shopping. The condo was perfect. Nice size, well maintained and had everything you needed.

Wonderful property! It is everything and more than in the listing. We had 2 couples and the location was perfect with access to the only sandy beach in the area and walking distance to stores, restaurants and the Hilton. Beautiful condo with everything you need. Will stay there again!
Thank you.

Amazing location and condo. We had everything we needed for our family and easy access to the beach. The Hilton pass was perfect for us to meet up with family at the hotel. Overall an amazing stay and would come back again in a heartbeat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful Kolea condo. The location is excellent, so close to A Bay and Lava Lava Beach Club and a short drive from Hapuna Beach. Chrystal was great to communicate with. We would love to come back!

It was fantastic. The unit has everything you might need and more. Loved that they had basic condiments. Three coffee makers. We really enjoyed the green turtles,we saw some everyday. Lovely hotels. It was an amazing vacation.

This property absolutely lives up to the beautiful photos and 5 star reviews - spacious, clean, very well located within the Kolea community and the Waikoloa area. We loved it and will recommend it to family and friends!

We had an amazing week here! Our family (with 9 & 12 year old kids) loved the Kolea pool, A-bay, exploring the Hilton (the kids loved that we could use the pools and water slides) and visiting local beaches. The condo has towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel gear (including kid’s size), coolers - everything you need for a fabulous beach day. The condo itself is clean and beautiful, with everything you need to grill or cook. We loved early morning coffee on the deck. The host was welcoming and very easy to work with. We’ll stay here again!

This condo was beautiful, clean, spacious and had all the amenities (and more) that we needed. The host exceeded my expectations for responses to my questions before and during our stay. I appreciate places like this that have recycling available. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had just a couple of days here, but we wish we could have extended it to a full week! The property was absolutely beautiful, well appointed, comfortable, and had a very happy vibe! The location was also super convenient to the pool and clubhouse as well as the beach. The owners were incredibly responsive and helpful, and the check-in and checkout process could not have been easier! We loved every minute and can’t wait to come back! Mahalo, Chrystal!

The condo is beautiful and well-equipped. Some ocean views and the sun set in the right spot so we could view it from the second story patio. Close location to the community pool, which has a view of the ocean. Walking distance to restaurants and stores. Also, great selection of beach chairs and toys which we used when we drove to other local beaches. We would happily stay here again.

This property has it all. It is beautifully decorated, fully equipped, and a 2 minute walk to the pool and to A Bay. We have stayed in many VRBO rentals and this one is by far in a class all by itself. The owner had everything we could possibly need. She has plenty of dishwasher detergent, soap, paper products, plastic ziplock bags, service ware, kitchen appliances, basically anything you need. K cups were provided but there is also a Cuisinart coffee maker and expresso maker. There are 4 beach chairs, a collapsible wagon, two beach umbrellas, and plenty of wave boards and snorkeling equipment. In reality all you need to bring is food and clothes. The owner was quick to respond to my questions. The complex is gated and a 5-10 minute walk to shops, restaurants, and the Hilton. Access to the Hilton was a definite plus but we only used it one day because there is so much of the island to see. This rental is a 10 minute drive to Hapuna Beach. There is a black sand beach nearby. Golf is also close. The airport was 20 min away. I cannot give this place enough accolades other than to say we will stay here again when we return to Hawaii. If this review doesn’t convince you to rent this unit then you are missing a truly amazing place. Mahalo!

We enjoyed 2 weeks at Chrystal’s well-equipped unit. She has thought of everything to make one’s stay comfortable- coffee to welcome guests, beach towels and beach amenities, snorkel gear and picnic coolers etc. The apartment is beautiful and well appointed. Close to shops and restaurants and to the pool and beach to watch the sunset. Chrystal was very quick to respond with any question we had to ensure we enjoyed our stay to the most. I couldn’t recommend this more.

We stayed for a week for our honeymoon and it was the perfect location! Almost directly on the beach and right next to the pool. Short walk/drive to shops and food and various beaches on the Kona coast. Not to mention being a high end place in and of itself. Highly recommend!

We had a weird situation with renting this condo, but it all worked out in the end. I had reserved this condo when it was under the ownership of the previous owner (some of my questions went unanswered several months ago). About a week before we were supposed to check in, my reservation was cancelled since the property was being sold to a new owner and I was instructed to rebook under the listing for the new owner. There were some complications with getting rebooked, but in the end, it all worked out. Once I had the info from the new owner, everything went smoothly. The new owner and the property manager promptly responded to my questions. In the end, we had a really wonderful time (though I sure had some stress about a week before we got there). The condo is really large, has very nice furnishings, and had virtually everything we needed for our stay there. There were plenty of towels, paper products, laundry detergent, and dishwasher detergent. There were two coffee makers (with coffee) and spices (but no condiments, so buy those if you want some). It also is really well-equipped with everything you need for the beach (6 beach towels, beach chairs, snorkels and masks, beach bags, and some other toys). We had trouble getting the gas grill to work, but the owner said she'd look into it. We loved sitting out on the lanai for our meals and coffee in the morning. Overall, once the reservation situation was resolved, we had a really wonderful time and would definitely come back.

Overall we had a great stay. The property was very nice--spacious and clean with all the amenities promised in the listing. The beach club has a nice pool and beach access, which we used. We also took advantage of the included passes for the neighboring Hilton resort pool: this sprawling complex is impressive and the kids loved it. I loved being able to enjoy it for a few hours then leave the crowds and noise behind to return to my quiet condo!
A few negatives:
Communication with the owner was sketchy. Her email with the check-in instructions landed (unbeknownst to me) in my junk folder. Not knowing this I tried messaging her through VRBO and calling her number (listed on VRBO) the morning we were going to arrive. No response. As I'm writing this almost a week later, she hasn't responded. Fortunately, I found the email while waiting at the airport in Maui, so no harm there.
I also messaged her about the location of the condo's beach chairs and boogie boards. Again, no response.
Finally, it took me a solid three days to memorize the seven-digit code to open our front door. Does it really need to be seven digits?
Nevertheless, I'd stay at this condo again in a heartbeat.

What a beautiful week we had in Kolea! The property was amazing- clean, well stocked and comfortable. It was great to have toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner and soap all included! The kitchen had everything you could want to cook any meal. The beds were incredibly comfortable including the sofa bed! We were a little leery about booking an entire week for 5 in a two bedroom condo but the space was plenty! The pool had a malfunction halfway through our trip but it wasn’t even a problem since the beach was so close and we had access to the Hilton which we went to twice and the kids enjoyed thoroughly! Close to shops and a fantastic coffee shop! Peggy answered all our questions quickly. We had a little snafu w vrbo not getting us the check-in info but a call to Peggy solved it immediately and didn’t hold us back for a second. We arrived early and we’re directed to talk to Lindsay (cleaning crew) about checking in early. She let us drop our bags and even got us in to the condo an hour early! Definitely a week to remember!

Very clean condo in good condition. Close to pool and beautiful beach with nice gear available for use. We did have issue with elevator not working at crucial times and reported. Also issues with Internet access; however owner and her assistant very responsive to help resolve. Would be helpful get info a little sooner but all went ok.
