With three young children, this property’s ground floor location and short walk to the beach club (pool) and beach made for an ideal stay. Clean, spacious, and well-maintained, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Thank you!

My husband, kids and in-laws all stayed in this gorgeous three bedroom. It was well appointed, had everything we needed, and had very easy access to both a pool and beach at A-bay. The owner was very responsive to any questions, I would definitely recommend.

Had a wonderful stay- the location of the condo was perfect to get around the island. Loved hiking and adventures during then day and then came home at night to a clean, comfortable and spacious condo! Grateful for our time and family experience!

Been coming to the Big Island for the Lavaman race for the past 15 years. Always look for a Kolea condo and this one is one of the best. Owners are very responsive and kind. Condo is on 3rd floor with vaulted ceilings and a partial ocean view. Tons of beach toys and a beach buggy wagon hat was perfect for hauling the grandkids and their stuff to the beach. The pool area is a great place for the littles to splash and play. Hope to return for next year's Lavaman race!

We had a wonderful stay. The condo is beautiful with a view and the location is fantastic as you can walk to the beach and shopping. The pool is very nice but there is only one key card provided to enter the pool area from the street or from the beach (which is the only beach access to the overall property). If you have more than one or two people in your party, this is rather inconvenient if everyone doesn’t want to do the same thing at the same time. I’ve stayed in other units previously and more cards were provided or key code access was given which was much more desirable. Other than this issue, everything was lovely.

We enjoyed this comfortable condo with A-Bay access within a short walk and covered parking for our car. It had all the beach toys we needed and having a private outdoor patio and grill was a bonus. I have to say the dryer booster was very loud, but once we were done with laundry, it wasn't a problem. Thank you for hosting us!

We booked this Vrbo for 8 days for a spring break trip. The unit was clean and well stocked. We also appreciated all the beach equipment as previous rentals didn't come with anything. We would stay here again.

My family of four loved every minute of our stay here. The kitchen had everything we could ever need to cook a great meal. One evening we were eating outside on the lanai and were able to see whales out in the ocean! The provided beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys were a huge plus. Overall, the condo is very spacious, modern, clean, and comfortable. The owners even put together a wonderful book of suggestions for activities/trips to do on the Big Island. The beach club was awesome and had easy access to A’Bay. We loved the views from the hot tub!

Beautiful Condo with ocean view in gated community. Condo was extremely well appointed and very conveniently located. I would rate it 5 stars if the beach had been better. We were disappointed that the water near shore was full of large lava rocks, hindering ocean swimming.

The Big Island has our hearts! This property was first class all the way! It was incredibly equipped with absolutely everything we needed! The pool was beautiful and so warm! Walking to A Bay was really beautiful and so convenient! The location was great as it is close by to restaurants and shopping. The views from the property are stunning! Cannot wait to return! Mahalo!

Great location and a beautiful property. The property manager was easy to contact and was very responsive to questions about the penthouse and the amenities. Excellent access to the beach, a wonderful pool that the grandchildren loved and easy walking distance to Queen's Marketplace and Kings Shops. We appreciated the property manager allowing us a very late checkout for an additional reduced rate on the final day as we had a late flight out that evening.

Our family of four loved this condo! After having spent a few nights on Oahu we decided to venture to the Big Island for some adventuring.
The location is excellent and we liked that it was in a gated neighborhood. Walking distance to pool, beach, golf, and great shopping. It also appeared to be on the sunny side of the island and we had sunny skies and 80F+ every day we were there; while other parts of the island were cloudy/raining.
The "Toy" closet was fully stocked with flippers, goggles, beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards (and other stuff). Super convenient for our beach trips.
The condo itself is very well built with great appliances and finishes. Everything was clean, dry, cool and ready for when we arrived.
Communication was also fantastic, with plenty of instructions for arrival, departure, and in between. It was also timely and proactive. When we arrived one of the toilets was running, I called Robert (who was incidentally on another continent) and he answered promptly and we had the issue settled quickly.
We are already looking at booking this property again for our next spring break. Very nice!

Two active couples enjoyed the beauty of the island as we celebrated our 70th birthdays. The villa accommodated us beautifully and was in a great location to many other attractions. Everything in the villa was clean and well appointed. The owner was very thorough and attentive, even offered us the use of his golf clubs and his golf membership. We stayed for 6 nights and hated to leave.

Our first time to the Big Island. We think Kolea is the perfect place to stay with a beautiful beach for swimming, a lovely pool and hot tub and a relaxed but luxurious vibe. We liked being walking distance to shops and restaurants as well.
The unit was as advertised. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make family meals.
Beds were really comfortable.
The unit is well maintained for a rental property.
We would definitely stay again.

Very nice condo with a great view of A Bay, but lacks some of the essentials typical of other condos in the area. This unit did not have any beach chairs/toys or basic spices for cooking (even salt and pepper).Worked well for our family, but would not consider the unit to be a “premier” unit.

Kolea is a quiet development right on Anaehoomalu Bay (A-Bay) beach. A short walk from the condo to the beach or pool area which is also very nice. The condo itself is nice. There were no problems. It might be about time for a facelift / refresh in the unit as the furniture is showing wear but is not broken or in poor condition.

The location of this property was ideal - so close to the beautiful pool area, A Bay, walking trails, golf courses, shops and dining. The communication from the owner was great. Nice beach gear to use and a great lanai with outdoor kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The resort of Kolea Kai is beautiful. We especially love the infinity pool with a view of the ocean and a path leading to ABay. Our condo was well equipped and comfortable. The only suggestion we would have for improvement is mattress updates. The appliances are top notch. The grill is very nice. It was nice to have a closet full of outdoor equipment including beach chairs.

This is the place for you if you are a do it yourselfer. Not only did I have to pay for the thermostat to be fixed, but also there weren't enough pillows for the bed! Loved my trips to walmart to buy these items, plus all of the extra kitchen items to make that functional. The list goes on and on! Great times were had by all for the few hours we got to relax when not dealing with issues in the condo, but unfortunately there were so many thing to work around that not much time was spent relaxing. And dont bother calling the prioerty manager, they have a 1800 nulber to call, but no one ever calls you back or gets someone local to come fix your problems. And then when you finally do talk to someone, they promise to reimburse your costs, but then change their mind when its time to actually give you the money. Great customer service.

We had the privilege of staying at this property with our son and daughter-in-law. It was perfect for our family vacation.
The property exceeded our expectations in every way. The location was within easy walking distance to the Kings and Queens shops (10-15 minute easy walk). We were a short 25 minute drive to the airport. Only 40 minutes to Kailua-Kona.
The remodel was vey well done. The appointments were just what we needed. We especially liked the two master setup, with two ensuite bathrooms. The rooms were very clean upon our arrival. It worked perfectly for the four of us.

Five of us, all senior citizens, had a lovely week staying at the Kolea Garden View condo. Since the purpose of our trip was for a multi generation, multi continent get-together, we mostly spent our visit eating and talking and this quiet comfortable home was perfect for us. We appreciated the beach club facilities, the well-kept grounds and the convenient shopping plazas and dining options. Wendee was quick to respond to our request to get a malfunctioning microwave oven replaced, and we were only mildly inconvenienced by not being able to get a superfluous nonfunctioning bathroom sink repaired during our stay.
March 2024
Kolea is one of our favorite spots on the big island. Very quiet but beach access is 5 minute walk to Abay. 10 minute walk to Hilton either by road or along the shore. Marriott is next door if you care to wander over for a meal. Drive to Kona is 40 minutes and other resorts like the Mauna Lani, Fairmont, Mauna Kea and their restaurants are within 10 to 15 minute drive. Nice little pool and hot tub here at Kolea that is a 5 minute walk or less.

We’ve been coming to the Big Island for 13 years and staying in Kolea. We’ve stayed in a number of different units but we really enjoyed 15H. The unit is comfortable, clean and well appointed. The view of A-Bay is stunning! We already booked for 2 months next year. The owner and property manager are excellent and handle promptly any issue that arise. It’s a great property!

Great spot for families — the pool was great, and access to A-bay beach was lovely. The house was so much nicer than it appeared in the photos. The property company, however, was useless. There is no information about the resort in their information book, so I called to find out more details about what is available at the resort and where everything is. They recommended I try the book. Then told me they would text me back with more information - a half an hour later got a message with no useful info. For goodness sakes - please include a map of the resort!!
