Great location and superb accommodation. Everything you need is provided. Minor weakness is the second bedroom is small for two adults however the couches provide alternative sleeping space.

This is our third stay at the Fairway Villas, but our first time in this unit. This unit has a shady lanai in the mornings and sunset views at night. You even get a wee glimpse of the ocean through the palm trees. The main view is the golf course and the pond at the Kings Shops.
We ate all our meals on the lanai.
I love the pool area and went swimming daily.
I also love walking to the shops or farmer's markets.
The property manager is AMAZING. They are very attentive and give great directions for everything you need to know including traffic updates for a sports event.

Communication and instruction prior to arrival was excellent and the property is exactly as described. The unit is located right by the pool which was fantastic! We also found a closet full of beach toys, beach chairs, floaties, pool noodles and more! Beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed in the kitchen (except a cookie sheet, could have used one of those). Unfortunately, this positive experience was marred by an air conditioning issue that arose. We contacted the property manager on Saturday. Despite following up again on Sunday morning and again in the afternoon, we received no response until Sunday afternoon when we were informed that maintenance is unavailable on weekends. With temperatures reaching 86 degrees inside the house, sleeping was uncomfortable despite opening all doors and windows. We also paid extra for a late check out, however the property management forgot to update our door lock code and we found ourselves locked out of the house for a period of time, adding unnecessary stress to our departure.
While the property itself was lovely and the location perfect, the lack of responsiveness from the property manager regarding the A/C and the late check-out mishap significantly impacted our stay. This could be a great rental option but potential renters should be aware of limitations in weekend support.
Despite being promised a call from a manager on Monday to discuss these issues, I had to reach out again and was eventually offered a small refund.

We have stayed at other similar places on the Big Island but this was by far our favourite. The location is ideal for a family who wants a mix of pool, shopping and beach experiences. It's a short drive to Kona for food and supplies but also has the shops 5 mins away for last minute needs. The condo itself was clean and large enough for our family of four and the lanai looking over the golf course was a perfect way to spend breakfast. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pans and we were able to cook nearly every meal (good for a family with allergies, since the Island isn't exactly allergy friendly). The condo also had beach chairs, toys and boogie boards, which were well used when we went to Hapuna Beach 15 mins away (not to be missed!)
Big thanks to the owner, Hisanori, who was great to communicate with and very helpful when we had questions before and during our stay.

Apartment was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. Location was very close to markets and beach. The patio had great views of mauna kea in the morning, and if you get lucky on a clear night you can see a good bit of stars. One note was that the wifi was spotty which made it difficult to work, but otherwise we had a fantastic stay.

This is our third time staying at Paul and Trenae’s beautiful condo, and it was wonderful! Love the sunsets on the lanai, the wee geckos that came to visit. A perfect and relaxing vacation. Can't wait for next time!

We really enjoyed our stay at Barbs! It was clean, comfortable and had great access to many things. Aside from the great beaches nearby, we enjoyed walking to the marketplace for coffee and shaved ice, swimming in the pool, and eating breakfast out on the porch! The condo had everything we needed! No one wanted to leave at the end of the week!

First impressions are generally positive. Once in, we saw and reported to Kylie a filthy living room carpet with permanent shoe prints and stains. Very disconcerting as family and friends all noted how disgusting it was. We invited various friends and family who also own vacation rentals to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with us. No attempt was made to shampoo or replace the rug during our 3 plus week stay. The oven storage drawer was broken, several window screens were broken and the upper windows had not been washed in a very long time. All 3 televisions displays "no signal" despite Kyle coming over to fix the problem. She said in a written note which I have a photo of that we could try to leave the living room tv on with no volume if we got it to work at all. The towels are worn, the bed frames are coming apart and the blankets/
Bed linens and pillows are not what one would expect with a $14,000 price tag. The grout is missing on the tub deck in the master bath. In addition, the lovely dining room ceiling fan is missing its remote so there is no way to use it for lighting unless the fan is operational also. Bird droppings were all over the patio furniture which we cleaned ourselves prior to dining outside.The bird excrement is stuck in the chair seat mesh. We feel that before renting this unit again, you need to seriously address these issues. We feel that we paid top dollar for mediocrity and that is a bad faith contract. Disappointing!

Our family really enjoyed staying in N24. It is not brand new but really well maintained. Everything worked perfectly. Nothing was broken. Kitchen has everything we needed. Plenty of beach gear. Overall impression from condo is very cozy. Condo complex has a lot of greenery and a great pool. Parking spot was right downstairs from condo!

Don’t look any further!! This is the BEST! Pictures are exactly accurate. We had everything and more for our trip. All the beach gear you need, lots and lots of Tupperware, cooking supplies, grilling supplies, zip lock bags of all sizes! It would take me forever to list all the amazing amenities this villa has. I was impressed! It was hard to leave this amazing villa. It made our wedding week so memorable. So happy I chose this villa. The host and villa manger were so helpful and available at all times. Thank you!

We absolutely loved our time at this gorgeous condo in Waikoloa! It looked just like the pictures, is in immaculate condition and is perfect for any family of 5. The location couldn’t be better just a 5 minute walk to the King Shops, multiple restaurants, the Island Market and the Marriott. We walked to the Easter Brunch at the Marriott! The view at night is gorgeous and the lights on the patio are perfect. The pool isn’t large but my kids still loved it. We have traveled all over the US, the Caribbean and this is our second trip to Hawaii so we’re not new to travel, hotels or Short term rentals. We highly recommend staying here!

My family and I enjoyed a great vacation in Waikoloa Beach Resort. We loved the Fairway Villas G1. It’s close to King’s and Queen’s shops and A-Bay and Lava Lava Beach Club. We loved the location, spacious layout and the beautiful lanai. The pool was great and the complex was quiet but welcoming. A perfect spot to stay for a Big Island vacation!

We always stay at the Fairway Villas, but this particular unit was wonderful. The welcome gift was very nice to see, and the unit is well-furnished and stocked with everything you might need. We loved waking up to the views of Mauna Kea from our view and enjoyed the view while having coffee on the lanai. We would definitely stay in this unit again.

The property grounds were beautiful, quiet, and well maintained. The pool was nice, and A-bay beach is just a short walk. The condo was wonderful, had all the amenities we needed, plus the owner supplied all the beach equipment we needed. You couldn't ask for a nicer place to stay while exploring the Big Island. The host and property manager were very responsive to questions. We had a great time and were sad to leave!

Nice, clean, spacious condo in Waikoloa. Great location that is central to everything (walking distance) but feels private and remote. The pool is fantastic and the condo is well stocked with everything you might need. The outdoor patio is lovely and the condo has everything you might need for the beach.
March 2024
We had a very good stay and enjoyed our trip. Some things the owner may want to consider is upgrading the mattress in the master bedroom and ensuring all lights in the unit are in good working order. Otherwise, this Penthouse had everything we needed to have a fabulous vacation.

We loved the location; check in process of was. The inside of unit needs some TLC. Our sheets in Master looked like they had been slept in.. long black hair,etc. Pillow cases on King pillows, but none on 2 standard. No wash clothes in Master bath; no trash can. Floors looked dirty; hasnto Swifter them right away. Dishes were Hodge Podge, like they were bought at Thrift store.
TV in Guest bedroom didn't work; no TV in Master bedroom.
This was probably the worst VRBO we have ever stayed in as far as furnsihings & cleanliness. Plus, we had to wash all towels per instructions.
Beach chairs & beach towels were good though.

We have stayed in this area many times over the years and this place is among the best. The condo was exactly as advertised, the check in was super easy and communication with Ruma was easy as well. The condo was exactly as advertised and the location was spectacular close to shops and A-bay beach. This is a ground floor unit which made it easy bringing in luggage and supplies throughout our stay. We stayed away from Costco and went to the farmers markets in Waimea on Saturdays and Wednesdays which have local produce and a cool island vibe. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo

We have had our second great stay in this condo which is very welcoming and comfortable. The unit is well stocked, especially the kitchen. All of your beach needs are available including beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, coolers etc.
The owners are fantastic to deal with, checking in prior to arrival and during our stay. Very prompt response to questions.
The location is ideal, within easy walking distance to numerous shops and restaurants.
The view from the balcony is beautiful especially the sunrises many mornings.
We are looking forward to future stays at this property and would highly recommend.

A great week enjoying the Waikoloa Beach Resort, Kohala Coast Beaches and all that Old Hawaii Kona has to offer. Unit is located close to resort shops and restaurants, but some of the best places are away from the resort zone. Go to Beach 69 for the day and then head up to Waimea for The Fish and The Hog, or Big Island Brewhaus (local restaurants that welcome visitors in their beach attire). Another option is Magic Sands Beach and then dine along Ali'i Drive and its numerous offerings. Volcanos National Park and Hilo are available for an extended day trip. If you do, hit Hawaiian Styles Cafe for breakfast and Hilo Burger Joint for dinner. At the end of any day you choose, the unit welcomes you back to comfort.

Excellent apartment, with a few minor issues when we arrived: the kitchen was a bit dirty, the coffeemaker had old moldy coffee grounds, and both toilets were stopped up. No callback from the onsite representative for 2 days. We cleaned up the coffeemaker and seriously plunged the toilets, and from then on our stay was more than wonderful!
