Had an amazing stay at this condo. Owner and property managers gave thorough information about the condo, surrounding area, and the island. This condo was our home base when we took in five different beaches, waterfalls, volcano park, and small towns around the island. It is in a great location - away from the bustle of Kona and walkable to nearby shopping and restaurants. I was super impressed with all of the supplies in the condo - from toiletries to snorkel/beach stuff to kitchen gadgets, spices, etc. I’ve never stayed in a more accommodating VRBO. It was comfortable, clean, and cool. Thank you to Richard, Bennett, and Nancy!

This property was absolutely perfect for us! The access to fun shops and tasty dining was fantastic. It was all close enough that we could send our older kids over to the markets on their own, which they loved. The property is close to many incredible beaches, which we can never get enough of! The property owner was very kind and super easy to work with. I would book this place again in a heartbeat.

With three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a great lanai and comfortable kitchen, a stay here fits the bill for a family. We wish we had two more chairs at the outdoor lanai table, but all else fit our needs well.

My family had a blast! The house was extremely clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything you could want/need, really felt like our home away from home. Quiet community, close to pool/gym and nearby shopping centers. The management team was/is so polite and very responsive. Wonderful experience, highly recommend, will definitely stay here again!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fairway Villas! The location is ideal for us, walking distance to the Kings Shops, where we found delicious dinners several nights, and the Queens Marketplace, for fresh fish and veggies on the nights we took advantage of the BBQ and enjoyed a peaceful meal on the balcony. The A' Beach is within walking distance, a great place to pull up a lounger and read under the palm trees, or avail yourself of all the beach rentals, snorkels, kayaks, etc. Whale watching leaves from the beach as well and we were delighted to be able to spot several on our trip. James and Stacy were very responsive the few times we needed some assistance and have given much thought to their guests needs, providing all the comforts of home. We will definitely be back!

We loved the condo and there’s everything we need for our family of 4. Our kids enjoyed the pool/spa. They swam every day and when done they would take a quick walk to Starbucks! The condo is close to the market, gift shop and more. We definitely would recommend this place.

The condo is a perfect location and having the golf deal was great. The salt water infinity pool was beautiful and we were in it every day. Shops and restaurants are an easy walk. And the lani was great for meals or just coffee or wine. I highly recommend.

My husband and I were last on the big island 14 years ago and wanted to bring our children there. We chose the right place to stay! The condo is so much more spacious than it appears in the photos. It was extremely well stocked and spotless and the property manager was very accommodating, we were so pleased. We spent every day exploring the island and only returned home for dinner (sometimes) and bed. It was a wonderful week!!

Nicest decor we've seen in beach place. Good access to beach, shops and restaurants. Unit is secluded behind garages, with only view out to a fairway with few players. Only complaint is high entry to tub/showers with no grab bars, or anything to grab to while in the shower. Possibly dangerous for older and/or disabled people. Parking is some distance from the unit, only one spot assigned, visitor spots even further.

June 2024

Good for family or small group. Near to shops, beach, and restaurants. Lots of decent beach chairs, toys and gear. Ask for Pac n play before arriving if needed. Tubs/showers have high entry and no grab bars (or even anything to hold onto when you get in), so not appropriate for older and/or disabled people. Also parking is in visitor spots, the nearest is ~50 yards away. Decor is very nice, good lanai area with chairs. Appliances and internet work well.

This was the first time in my years of travel that I found the description and photos to be fully accurate. Everything worked and everything was anticipated in advance. Everything exceeded our expectations. I will want to stay in this unit again in the future. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and being so thorough.

Our family of four (two adults, two teens) spent 10 nights at this property and could not have enjoyed it more. The condo is clean, well maintained, and modern. Having two full bathrooms worked well, and being able to use the washer and dryer during our extended stay was helpful. We utilized the cooler, beach chairs and umbrella, and towels on our many trips to the beach. We walked from the property to both the Kings Shops and Queens Marketplace, and the men in our family enjoyed a round of golf. We enjoyed the pool on multiple occasions. We prefer a location that is away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities, and that is quiet and relaxing at night. We were 100% satisfied with everything about our stay, and will book here again if we ever return to the Big Island.

Clean, well maintained 2-story sleeps 6. No views except of the golf course, but convenient to shops, food and beach. Has most beach equipment but bring umbrellas - no shade on the beach on hot sunny days. Garage is too small to hold more than a tiny car. There are visitor spots to park in, not quite so close. No problems with appliances, furniture or other amenities. Kona Concierge was excellent and very helpful. Fun vacation.

June 2024

Beautiful decor. Comfy beds. Stocked kitchen. Great location. Walking distance to King Shops and Queens Marketplace.
Denise K.
June 2024

All the raving reviews are accurate. The property had everything we needed for a family of 4 and then some. It truly was a "home away from home" but my home doesn't sit on a golf course with a 15 minute drive to the beach :). This property is centrally located to food and shops. Stop searching and book this property!

Place was beautiful. Location near shops was great. Second floor apartment with people below and above you. Could hear children above running around in the evenings, but it didn’t bother us. The people below us complained about every little noise even though most days I had teenagers that slept till 10.

This condo was very comfortable. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and everything. My favorite area was the lanai where I enjoyed a cup of tea every morning of our stay.

We had a fabulous four-night stay at Anna and Matt's Hale Nene Waikoloa condo! (1) The property owners and on-island manager responded quickly, clearly, and kindly from start (when we booked the unit) to finish (when our security deposit was returned in full shortly after departure). (2) The unit is recently renovated in a Hawaiian modern style (the pictures in the listing accurately reflect its appearance). (3) Having separate twin beds in the second bedroom was a huge draw for our family of four (with two elementary-aged kids). (4) The lanai closet (as of when we left) had a beach umbrella, four beach chairs, four boogie boards, sand toys, and snorkel equipment, perfect for beach days near and far from the condo. (5) The unit came equipped with extra towels for the beach and the community infinity pool, which was never crowded during our time there and provides a beautiful view at sunset of the golf course, lake, and nearby marketplace. Not sure when we'll be back on the Big Island, but this will be our first choice place to stay when we do!

The condo and its community were quiet, clean and in a great location. We loved the short walk to the beach, grocery story and Queen Market and King Shops. I have zero complaints. The owners reached out to see how we were doing which was a nice touch. I would stay here again as I love the location and convenience of a small gym, pool, and shopping.

What a beautiful condo! We were very comfortable and impressed with all of the amenities. The condo is close to the pool and open-air gym, which was convenient. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. There were lots of items to take to the beach as well - beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, etc. The location was perfect and within walking distance to the Queen's and King's shops. I highly recommend this condo if you want a quiet, spacious place to stay on the Big Island.

This villa was so well appointed, spacious and a great location. We loved having the shops in walking distance, beaches not far away and relaxing on the lanai in the morning and night. It was so clean and was completely updated - bathrooms were beautiful, kitchen had everything and washer/drawer was a huge plus.

I had a great time on the Big Island! I suggest you place the condo location on the map as your pictures suggested a view next to the pool. This was inaccurate as the condo was located at the far end of the property. Excessive wear in the Condo. You may want to find another property manager that pays attention to detail. Lastly, when you have guest arriving you may want to turn on the ac and have the condo cool as opposed to 85 degrees coupled with high humidity. Two star rating.

The condo has a great walkable location in the Waikōloa Beach area. Unit has everything you need for a great vacation; beach chairs, toys, umbrellas and coolers; a well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. We would definitely stay again!

The location was great, walkable to so many shops and best of all close to the pool! Generally well stocked unit. Needed to buy some essentials like sugar that I usually find already stocked. Lots of beach toys and chairs! Property management was wonderful to work with and very communicative!

This is a very clean, beachy, relaxing unit. I love the location, amazing beds, and atmosphere of this unit. The owners are lovely, easy to contact, very quick to respond , and accommodating. I would stay here again if ever travelling back to Kona! Do not hesitate to book this unit!

Cleanliness and location for walking to shops was great. Also close for driving if preferred. Because you are on the first floor of 3, you can have upstairs noise from people walking, kids, and the toilet flushing. We were woken up early to these sounds during our stay. Other than that, we loved the place.

This was a 3rd floor condo. It was a great place, as expected.
Jordan J.
May 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed staying in this particular condo due to it's location on property as well as it's proximity to both Kings and Queens shopping centers. So convenient to be able to walk to both. The Condo was very clean, furniture in great condition and nicely decorated as well. It was very roomy, could easily accommodate a family of 6 (it has a loft with two twin beds). This condo is on the 3rd floor (there is an elevator) and the view of the golf course is wonderful way to start your morning with a cup of coffee on the lanai - so peaceful and beautiful. Bill and the property manager Joe, were easy to communicate with from beginning to end. We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!
