We were looking for a place with easy access to pool and beach for our toddler and this was excellent! Could walk everywhere; market a short drive away. Lavalava Beach Club was a great dinner an easy walk down the beach. The condo was well stocked, including with kid things like high chair and beach toys. Would recommend and would stay again.

Excellent. Easy. Great location. Pedestrian friendly. Groceries and restaurants within walking distance. Great waterfront public path.Only issue was someone nearby kept smoking cigars and the odor blew into the unit. This unit is non smoking I don’t know whether the entire development is. The air is so clean here one bad apple really screws it up for everyone.Not the host’s fault obviously..

We loved the condo and all its amenities and the location was perfect for walking to lots of restaurants,shopping and A bay! Spent lots of time off the lanai listening to the birds and enjoying the morning. View of the beach.

Overall, had a real good time at the property. Had a couple of minor issues (low propane for BBQ, dishwasher issues), but the property manager was very responsive. The property was well furnished and included boogie boards and other assorted pool/recreational items. Pool and ocean are both easily accessible. Shopping and dining are also very close. Note that quiet hours start rather early at 8:00pm and the pool closes at 9:30pm. It's nice that reserved covered parking is also included.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kolea. This complex is clean and the landscaping is beautiful. Condo itself was outstanding. Very spacious for our family of four. The kitchen was well-stocked. We cooked almost every night either in the kitchen or on the outdoor grill. The beach supply closet was amazing...beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, umbrellas, coolers, etc. The neighborhood pool was great, along with the ease of beach access to A-Bay. The owner is very good with communication and easy to reach. This condo really made our stay on the Big Island a huge success. I would definitely recommend this to anyone going to the Big Island, and would stay here again on our next visit.

There were 4 adults - Myself, husband, my Mom with late state Alzheimer's and my oldest son/care giver helper. The semi-private elevator, and large enclosed lanai made this condo totally safe for my Mom. The views were amazing, the "traffic" was light, but fun for her to watch people headed to the pool - which was warm and the view there was stunning. The added gate security was an extra layer of keeping Mom safe. The critic would be the kitchen needed organized - all of the kitchen items were stuffed in random places and the desk as well. The bedroom carpets needed cleaned. The place was clean - the carpets were white and showed traffic. Overall - I would most definitely if I had the opportunity would stay again.

We were pleasantly surprised to learn about the free daily morning coffee by the pool, close (walking) proximity to the beach, and partial view of the water! Served as a great home base for our Big Island vacation. Appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler as well! Highly recommend!

Beautiful, spacious 2-bedroom condo steps from the pool and beach was perfect for our little family! They had beach toys, beach chairs, a cooler, boogie boards, snorkel gear, an umbrella-everything we needed :) The kids loved the pools and hot tub and there were sea turtles everyday swimming by the beach. We will definitely be back!

Best area and complex in the Waikoloa beach area. You won't be disappointed. This would have been a 5-star, except the owners have the thermostat set to only go down to 72, and we like it a little cooler to sleep. If 72 is good for you, stay here.

It was a beautiful stay and a fabulous location.

March 2025

This property is perfect for families. It was quiet (and this was amazing for how many kids we saw running around the complex & pool). It felt really safe at all hours and it was also nice being able to walk to the grocery store and a couple of coffee places, even with the kids. Will definitely be back.

We had a beautiful stay at this rental. The owners communication was great. We appreciated the little things like ketchup, outdoor grill, playing cards, dishwasher detergent, beach umbrella, chairs. I put my head down and fell asleep in seconds each night. The beds are very comfortable. The location across from the pool was Perfect for an early swim. They also have coffee at the club house :) my only suggestion is to get a full length mirror so I can see my shoes with my outfit. We will definitely be back. Did I mention the pool is the perfect warm temperature? And it’s right next to A Bay?! Amazing rental.

We stayed here with our 2 teenage boys this February. The location is absolutely wonderful and very relaxing. The condo is exactly as described and extremely comfortable from the beds, couch to the lanai chairs. More than enough space for everyone to spread out. Lovely view from the lanai as well. Easy walk to A-bay, great for a day at the beach with a stunning sunset. I appreciated the sidewalks and bike lanes on the main road for my runs in the morning. Also a short walk (7-10 minutes to the stores king and queens market) I would highly recommend this rental if you are looking for a low key relaxing location on the Big Island.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Clean, well appointed condo that had everything we needed.! comfy beds and lots of kitchen supplies.Nice location - pool, eating area and beach were excellent. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and walkable beaches. The only suggestion is to have an adult area at the pool. Kids pool was beautiful (sandy beach and waterfall), but the families said water was too cold, so all the kiddos seem to be at the big pool. Quite loud at times. We loved the community and would return again!

The property was outstanding overall. The kitchen appliances and supplies were top notch as were the bathrooms and laundry room. In addition to these pluses, the location, the building and the beach club amenities were just as impressive making for a wonderful experience. The one area needing improvement is the quality of the beds and mattresses. The twin beds were not anchored to the headboard so they slid easily. The secondary king bed was very creaky and seemed worn. The master king matress sagged on the side forcing me to the center of the bed to get comfortable. Since these are not quick fixes, we did not want to disrupt our stay by complaining during our rental period. We managed okay and suggest that the beds be upgraded to match the high level of the rest of the condo as soon as possible.

Ideal location — walking distance to a beautiful private pool, steps away from beach, ocean activities, and shopping. The condo was well equipped, including the kitchen, bathrooms, outdoor patio with full sliding doors, beach supplies. and the entire unit was very clean with comfortable amenities. We truly loved it in every way. Dimitri was a very communicative, informative and responsible host. Highly recommend and hope we will have the opportunity to return!

First of all, we loved our condo. It was very clean. Wanted nothing else. Bed was comfortable and showers were good. Nice to have a grill for our steaks one night. The parking was covered so it’s an added plus. Management was very accommodating. Having shops nearby very convenient. Island Gourmet Market in the Queens market place was great to buy a few essentials on way to condo. Our larger purchase was at a foodland near by This is a good place for families. The pool was always full of children being very loud. As big as this complex is, the pool was very small.Walk to the beach was OK. We cut through the back of the area to walk on the sidewalk instead of walking along the sand it took the same amount of time.

Wendee was very helpful. Found bedrooms quite dirty. Especially front bedrooms. Had some issues with ants. They rectified quickly but still present for half our stay. Had to throw out a lot of food. Kitchen supplies could be renewed cups very warm. Beach toys could be renewed mostly warn or broken.

We stayed 14 days. Best stocked condo we’ve ever stayed in, including beach gear. It has a great lanai with very comfortable lounging furniture. Always chaises available by the infinity edge pool, grounds were immaculate. This is a very comfortable condo for 2-4 people. Both bathrooms are en-suite. Everything you need is there when you check-in. Very happy surprise to find a huge bowls of fresh fruit. We’ll be back next year!

Extremely close to the pool and beach access which was our number one priority. Ground level so had access to the grass adjacent to the lanai which the kids would run around and play on. Excellent experience overall and would recommend to anyone, especially families who love swimming!

Loved the property and the location. Wendee is super flexible with check in and very responsive and helpful with any questions I had or any issues that came up while at the property. The grounds are well kept and the pool is spectacular! You are steps away from the beach and can watch sunset every night. The condo is fully stocked with everything you need. We will definitely be back!

Great layout out of the condo and good location but there is a smell in that condo that is overpowering...almost like people smoked in there and chemicals or ozone units tried to cover it up. Or a musky stale smell. Got home and our clothes smelled horrible.Notified the management company and they were going to look into it. Carpet through out and had some stains. Maybe the smell was from the carpet or HVAC but only way to make it livable was open all windows.
