The Shores at Waikoloa is one of the best places to stay in Waikoloa, because of the well-maintained landscape, large apartments and lanais. We've had a very pleasant stay there, and could walk to most places we've needed to go. The sun sets and sun rises are the best.

As lots of the prior reviews make clear, this unit is large, well-laid out, in a quiet and convenient location, with good views from within and from the oversized, wraparound lanai. Relaxing, playing card games, and dining on the lanai were delightful. The grounds of the Shores condominium community are beautifully maintained, as is the case with Waikoloa generally.Having said that, we felt that the unit needed some relatively inexpensive TLC to enable us to rate it higher than "good" (which it is).We encountered several petty irritant glitches which, frankly, we wouldn't normally associate with a unit at this price point at Waikoloa (we've been there many times). To wit, posted instructions on on to use (or, really, not use) an apparently "fragile" kitchen disposal (ought to have been replaced); facing for a kitchen drawer came off in my wife's hands the first time she opened it; shower stall light didn't work; mediocre (at best) beach chairs (at a beach resort . . . .) that were very low to the ground, difficult to get in and out of, and not adjustable in any way (and limited other beach accessories to use), an A/C system that seems to be controlled when doors/windows are open - a good thing - but no explanation of that to avoid having to call the management company and say "A/C not working!"; refrigerator filtered water dispenser not working; sliding blind "vane" fell down on its own initiative; etc.

A large one bedroom condo that is perfect for a short stay. Spotless and squeaky clean! When we couldn’t get the bedding TV to work, the owner immediately came over to help us. When we left we accidentally forgot to pack a few items and Lin called us to alert us. The bathroom has been remodeled and a new sofa is in the living room. They plan on renovating the kitchen next, though it is adequate now. We are not big fans of Waikaloa Beach crevasse there are so many visitors there, but this condo provided for our needs.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. We especially loved the patio area and spent a lot of sitting outside, enjoying drinks and the fresh air. There were 4 of us … our two adult children and my husband and I. The resort is beautiful and in a great location for walking to many places … Queen’s Marketplace, the beach, etc. We highly recommend this property and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Upscale 1 bedroom condo with A/C and full appliances and free parking spot. Management company (Resortica) rep (Anna) was outstanding working with us despite condo owner unexpectedly putting the unit up for sale at the time we were staying there.

Our trip include my wife, adult son and me. The space was great for three people. The location was great situated between the Marriott property and the Hilton property. It was a good point for exploring the island. Just be aware it is quite the drive to Volcanos National Park. The roads are very well maintained all over the island. The apartment had a small kitchen and needa to upgrade the bed pillows. The the couch shows signs of use but were a nice space. The location and convienience were outstanding.

The condo decorated with taste with 2 large bedrooms made us feel at home. The big lanai with the view on the golf was very enjoyable during the sunset hour and to have dinners.

Beautifully renovated condo. Very easy check in and communication with management. Big comfortable king bed. Appreciated minimal stuff to do for checkout (have had to strip beds, etc at other properties). Property very nice. Heated pool (was always 84 degrees) and nice hot tub. Only small negative is that sofa bed not very comfortable. Probably ok for kids or a teen (like ours). Don’t think an adult back would appreciate it. Would definitely recommend / stay again.

Very good location and great layout of the condo . Kitchen well stocked, could use bigger wine glasses. On the negative, beds not very comfortable and need improvement. The noise from the young family above us was constant and at times very loud .

Beautiful condo on the ground floor overlooking a golf course. Well stocked with beach toys, chairs, large bedrooms/bathrooms and large common area. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware. The concierge service was wonderful in response and connected me to a service that delivered all the baby gear before we arrived which was amazing. Its a short drive to the markets and A-Bay. The pool was fun and right across from our unit. There is a lot of walking noise from the unit above but we turned the sound machines on high for the kids. Highly recommend!

Loved staying in this roomy ground floor condo. Breakfast outside listening to all the birds was perfect. The grounds are beautiful! Kerrie was a great host. Basket of goodies on the table was a lovely touch. Easy check-in and communication.

Beautiful/ well layed out condo, bottom/1st floor, loved the lanai/patio location. Separate bedrooms x 2 for couples/opposite ends with full bathrooms/huge showers in each. Was not a fan of kitchen, very small and pots/pans showing their age but was clean. Would stay there again even with the kitchen limitations.

We had family staying in one of the other nearby resorts. This location was a delightful respite from the larger busier locations. Everything had been thought of, bed was comfy. We especially liked all the beach supplies. Made the beach days so fun!
Would stay again for sure!

We spent 6 days at this apartment. It was very clean, well maintained property with great accommodations. We had a lovely and relaxing time. Very quiet location.
Property's lanai is north facing so it it was nice and not hot to hang out on it. Lanai is big with a small electrical grill that worked well for us.
Bedrooms have comfy beds and their own TVs that came handy.
Well stocked and labeled kitchen that we used extensively as well.
Living room and dining room have a solid and comfortable furniture. We especially appreciated a large dining table that we used during Thanksgiving dinner.
It was also easy to take a advantage of Hilton Pools Pass which used for several days.
Over all great experience and thank you for making check-out procedure easy... :)

Everything was good once we found the condo in the dark. GPS took us to a different building. Thankfully a neighbor was oit walking and directed us. Would be helpful if there was light shining on building sign.

The condo is a little dated and could use some renovations, but is overall a good place to stay. Great amenities including a pool and hot tub. Short walk to beach and shops. The condo was very clean, but we did find 2 cockroaches inside during our stay.

Fantastic apartment, beautiful inside spaces with luxury furnishings and large tvs, and a large balcony overlooking the pond. Plenty of useful equipment including kitchen and BBQ utensils, beach umbrellas / chairs / towels / floaties, pickelball gear, coolboxs, etc! Couldn't ask for more. Peaceful complex with a gym, tennis courts, and pool / jacuzzi. Approximately a 15-20 minute easy walk to the beach. There is an alehouse next to the complex for food and drinks, and a 10-15 minute walk to more restaurants. Approximately a 30 minute drive to Kona for more activities, and a 15/20 minute drive to some other beautiful beaches. Would highly recommend!

We have been to the Big Island many times and usually stay in Kona. We always go out to Wailoloa a couple of times each trip for the beach, shopping and grocery store there. The condo was quiet, comfortable and in a great location. The gym was great and a great perk of staying there. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well as used the bbq for making dinner. We have already decided to stay there again next time.

Greg and Maryann’s place was absolutely perfect. The quiet ground floor unit with large patio was great.
A spacious well stocked home with lots of beach toys. We loved the location, only a short walk to shops, beach, pub.
We appreciated the late checkout, mahalo Maryann.

Second time we have stayed in this property. We have found it to be a very comfortable condo. We only cook breakfast so did not use any of the well stocked cooking supplies. Almost was like being at home,

Was a short walk to the water. The parking was limited if you have more than one vehicle, but not a huge inconvenience. Maintenance was very quick to come fix some minor inconveniences. Would absolutely stay again.

Very clean, quiet and updated unit. Many comfort accessories, including bathroom amenity kits, fully stocked spice rack, coffee and tea bar as well as welcome mugs, notepad, pen, bathrobes and slippers. Queens and Kings shops and restaurants just up the road with a well stocked Island Market. Beach is calm and good for swimming, very family-friendly. The electric bed was very comfortable. Just beware if you’re arriving after dark, the building names are not illuminated, took us a while to find the right one! No beach towels provided, maybe an oversight? Very good experience, highly recommend.

Wonderful condo in every way, spotlessly clean and bright, spacious and really great furnishings. Everything you need is available from beach chairs and umbrella to cooler and beach towels. Kitchen was well appointed. Lanai is wonderful, very spacious and comfortable for meals or relaxing in the shade. Close to restaurants and retail. Pool area is beautiful with a huge hot tub. We will definitely be back!

We had a lovely stay! The owner - Lin was top notch greeted us upon arrival, brought us a wonderful spread of fruit to enjoy, and was always available if we had any questions. The area is a great spot for morning walks down to the water, and location to stores and restaurants was very good. The pool was never to crowded, and at the end of the day the hot tub was great to enjoy!

![Shores at Waikoloa 3rd Floor Unit]()
My wife and I recently spent an incredible 9 days at The Shores at Waikoloa, and we couldn't be more impressed with our stay at this condo. From the moment we arrived we knew we were in for a treat. The condo was spotlessly clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully decorated, with an added bonus of beautiful island art/photographs on the walls throughout the condo. The views out the back windows of Mt. Mauna Kea and the island are spectacular, especially in the morning when the sun began to rise behind the mountain!
One of the standout experiences of our stay was the exceptional service provided by Britney, the property manager. She was very responsive to a few questions we had, ensuring that we were comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay.
This property is an ideal choice for anyone looking to relax and explore the Big Island of Hawaii. The nearby shops, restaurants, and beach made this unit a perfect location.
We will definitely return to this condo when we next visit the Big Island, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing vacation spot!
Pros: Clean and well-organized condo, excellent property management, perfect location.
Cons: None!

Wasn't able to book a room in the conference block at the Hilton and found this listing instead; worked out perfectly. It's a short walk to the hotel and much quieter (plus for me at least it gave a nice break from having to interact with fellow conference attendees). Spacious, clean, easy check in and out. I didn't really need the kitchen or patio but it would be a great spot for a group.
