Vista Waikoloa is an amazing property... we can't wait to go back. This unit feels spacious and fit our family of five well. It has the potential to also be amazing, but it comes up a little short. The bed linens are at the point where if you were staying at your in-laws you would be sneaking to the nearest Target store to secretly buy new sheets for your stay. Bathrooms could also use a refresh. The property, location, grounds, pool, lanai, layout, and kitchen make up for it though, and I would stay here again.

The unit was well set up. Loved having the two twin beds in the second room and two bathrooms. Kitchen was well stocked with spices. The grill was close by and fairly new. Property is well maintained and clean, but the bathrooms were somewhat outdated and could use an update. Garden view was very pretty. Nice lanai space. Loved the pool and jacuzzi. The location was perfect in Waikaloa, walking distance to A Bay and the King and Queen shops.

Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your condo. We have stayed numerous times at Vista Waikoloa, Shores, Mauna Lani, etc over the years so familiar with units and your location is convenient to shopping, beach and several restaurants.
We were disappointed in cleaning of condo! Allergies from dust hanging from vents needs to be addressed and basic cleaning of floors and shower.
The kitchen was nicely upgraded and equipped well with exception of glassware for basic drinking of water! The master linens are showing age and wear.
Spectrum provider (no fault of owner’s) was intermittent unfortunately; so plan accordingly if it is imperative to have internet.
The lanai was relaxing with comfortable furniture. There are lots of beach items to enjoy at the beach. Interestingly, there were all sorts of books to read but no games or cards to play in the evenings once sun goes down.
Thank you for sharing your condo with us during the Holiday.

This property is perfect for a family of four. With two older teens of the opposite sex the second bedroom is great with two twin beds. The location can’t be beat leaving the entirety of Waikoloa Beach Resort at your doorstep. This was our first trip to Hawaii and it will be difficult to branch out knowing that we have a nice little home base in paradise to rent.

Convenient location, could walk to Kings Shops snd short drive to A-Bay for swimming snd turtle spotting. We used the communal Bbq which was clean. Tropics Ale House next door for a cheap meal during Happy Hour. Would recommend.

Good non-beach location in Waikoloa. Walkable to Kings and Queens Markets if you skirt the golf course as a short cut. Beach access is somewhat limited, but A-Bay is walkable in 10-15 mins or shorter if your drive and park. The south end of A-Bay (past Lava Lava Beach Club) is a great place to see turtles or for a quick snorkeling dip.

I recently had the opportunity to spend eight nights at Kohala Coast Properties Inc. The unit was spacious, and immaculate. The furnishings were tastefully appointed. I recently retired from our family furniture business, with a degree in Interior Design, so I am well aware of how nicely a place can look.Bravo!!!!!

Excellent Accomodations....After spending some days on the South of the island (hiking Volcano NP, etc), we relocated to the Vista condo at Waikoloa. The place was just perfect for our needs.. actually much more spacious than required as most of the days we were out at beaches or hiking. Beds were comfortable, plenty of space and quiet and clean, nice pool and Jacuzzis. Only a couple of minor issues.. one of the sliding doors to the lanai was very difficult to slide and lock (just out of adjustment)and the cleaning fee was a quite steep in my opinion at $150 for a 4 days stay. Also, there was remodel construction going on across the courtyard (tile cutting all day long) so we weren't able to use the outdoor lanai table for lunch or breakfast which would have been nice... As it turned out, we needed one more night as we were flying out the day after our reservation ended (we knew the condo was booked going into the rental) and Michelle went WAY BEYOND what I would ever have expected in providing assistance and suggestions on alternative options. She was absolutely EXCELLENT and her efforts were truly appreciated. She even texted some suggestions to me at 9pm to try to help out. Thank you Michelle! All in all a great place to stay and we will probably be back!

Vista Waikaloa condo is a fantastic property. The location is centrally located to the beach, restaurants, shopping, groceries and the Hilton. The grounds of the property is very clean and beautifully landscaped. The pool is large and great for swimming laps. The unit itself is very spacious. Clean and bright. The buildings are made of solid concrete so there was almost no noise from other units. The décor is somewhat dated and some of the kitchen utensils and cookware could use replacing. Having said that I would not hesitate to rent this unit again.

This is a well located property. Near A-bay (10-15 min walk) and easy to access many other sites on the Big Island. It is spacious and has a nice layout. The kitchen is great and has all the basics you need. Loved the ground floor access to the outside. There are a few minor things that need updating around the unit (doors, windows, bathroom) but they aren't terrible by any means. Main disappointment was that the hot tub was not functional and the pool's heater wasn't working. Considering that the pool and hot tub were basic amenities that informed our search, it was disappointing to arrive to find out that they were not working, with no advance communication or ability to adjust our reservation.
Other than that, our stay was a very happy experience. The unit was clean when we arrived and all the check in/out details were easy. Hope we can come again one day (and enjoy the hot tub).

After 10 days on Big Island, we are certain that this condo location was the BEST area to stay in. And the lay-out of the place was fantastic! A few things to note:
1. We struggled with small ants on the kitchen counter from the moment we arrived. We ended up having to put all food in the cupboards and refrigerator (included shelf stable food) because the ants were constant!
2. The beds are NOT comfortable! They are "springy" and loud, and after a few days, it was started to affect our sleep. You really need to upgrade all of the mattresses.
3. There was a water issue with one of the toilets...we would hear pulsing water 24-7, every 15 minutes or so, and it was loud.
4. I totally understand that projects need to get done SOMETIME, and the landscapers and tree-trimmers are expected. However, there was tile work in our area happening during the weekdays (and this was CHRISTMAS week...supposedly one of the busiest tourist weeks of the year???), and if we were home, we got to hear the sound of someone cutting tile most of the day. Definitely a 1st-world problem, but we were just surprised it was happening between Christmas & New Year's.
The kitchen was well-stocked and the patio was just beautiful. We used one of the grills for our Christmas Eve dinner, and my family loved the nice pool & work-out facility. Thanks!

We stayed there for 2 weeks.
Pros:
Nice neighborhood with good view of the Mauna Kea mountain
Clean
All amenities provided
Lava lava beach was half mile walk
Cons:
Dishwasher wasn’t working, which made it not so fun to wash dishes by hands
The keys didn’t work, online checking process failed to mention the tricky part of the lock, it was a painful first time checkin
Condo is at a T point of the golf course which means every morning someone is blowing the leaves and mowing the lawn, every morning without fail.

My mother, young daughter, and I had a great stay in this beautiful condo. It is very spacious and comfortable. We had an issue with the lock when we first arrived, but we fixed it and didn't have any trouble after that first day. Also, we couldn't figure out the dining room lights but that may have been user error. The beds are super comfortable and the outdoor area was wonderful for breakfast every morning and for my daughter to run around on the grass. The pool and hot tubs were also very nice. I would highly recommend.

We spent 2 weeks at this awesome place in a great location in Waikoloa. When we got there, it was spotless and Hawaiian music was playing, which was so nice. The lanai was large and it spilled over onto the lawn areas so it seemed even bigger than it was. Property management was great and super responsive whenever we got in touch. The only issue we had was that the AC was not very strong as it always felt really hot in the condo.

Hello, this is a great unit for the price, a little dated in decor, carpet and kitchen. Great layout and location of the unit,it's light and bright, with a great outdoor space. Also, the condo area in Kona is great, close to everything, we had a car and friends were staying in Mauna Lani that's where we spend most of our time. We are two women in our 50's but this could work well for a family. We didn't cook in the unit so not sure how well equiped it is for cooking meals. One suggestion for property management is letting guests know it located between Marriott and Hilton Hotels. The weather was beautiful and Kona beaches so pretty.

Close to most everything. 18 miles from airport and not in a congested area like Kona. SHop and get gasoline at Costco if possible. The volcano was active and the stars were awesome from the Mauna Kea telescope area that is free nightly from 6 to 10 p.s. WEAR warm clothing at 9300 ft up. The unit itself was in working condition except for refrigerator which was fixed the following day! Needs a few carrying trays for those who enjoy patio eating.Pool and spa were nice and outside BBQ working.

We rented this property because of the price. The location and the resort were outstanding. Meticulously groomed grounds outstanding pool area. The Condo itself is in need of some attention. (again we paid half the price of the condo just above us) The light colored carpets were very stained. The air conditioning was non existent. The fridge took 3 days to get cool and leaked water. The toilets only flushed if you held down the lever the whole time.
