You've thought of everything! We had a delightful stay at Tamrind 311. It was truly a home away from home. Not just the basics here. It felt luxurious. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The condo was so lovely, we loved being on the ground floor and spent many hours on the lanai eating and lounging. We appreciated all the beach toys, and the thoughtful touches throughout the house. Our only complaint is that a tea kettle would have been nice but we made do! Thank you for creating such a lovely stay, we hope to come back someday.

The host was outstanding. Lin had fruit from her farm when we arrived and had us out to the farm to enjoy all its pleasures. We have stayed in this develpment often due to its location. The lanai was a great place to eat outside and relax on the lounge chairs. The new sofa was very comfortable, but with that said, the loveseat is uncomfortable and needs to be replaced. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. The dresser drawers kept falling out and should be addressed. People below us complained a couple of times, but not sure how we could have been more quiet. It's just the nature of units in this development. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable stay with a wonderful host!

The location is perfect for fun in the sun. Great area to go on walks, access the beach, shop and dine. The unit was super clean and supplied with everything you could need. The unit is older, not modernly renovated which I liked. It had more of a homey feel and traditional Hawaii vibe to put me in the island frame of mind.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this very nice condominium situated in a resort area with nearby beaches, pool, tennis courts, outdoor BBQ/grill. The property had all the amenities including brand new TV, brand new stove for cooking food. The owner also provided fresh fruits from her farm. They also had beach amenities including snorkeling and body board equipment, beach umbrellas, etc. We felt like we were home. I highly recommend staying here. The place is extremely quiet and there are wonderful shops and restaurants very close by.

Aloha - every year we come to our family property near Waikoloa for a few days and every year we rent a vacay property after so we can recharge and wash laundry and just chill. For the last several years, we’ve stayed at Mauna Lani area but this time we picked waikoloa

We have stayed at The Shores 5-6 times and really enjoy what the property and area offer. This particular condo was our favorite - spacious, clean and well-appointed. We had everything we needed for daily living and beach outings. The wrap-around lanai was my favorite feature. The communication with Kerrie at Lava Rock Realty was prompt and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location and the gated community is pristine. Kitchen was very well equipped. There were plenty of towels and bathroom necessities. Martin (owner) and Jennifer (local contact) were both very responsive to all our needs. The welcome basket was great. Nice and clean with so much attention to detail. A very positive experience!

We were excited when we arrived and needed to unwind after 2 weeks of activities in New Zealand. We had a funtime while visiting our O'hana family who live nearby. The villa was perfect for me and my husband. Ideally located for all the activities we love doing.

We stayed here for 3 wonderful weeks. The unit was very clean and had all amenities needed. There were two beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, and a small portable cooler. Everything needed for a day at the beach. The pool is beautiful with plenty of chairs/recliners for the complex. We had a nice view of the mountain and walked to the beach for the sunset view (1/2 mile?). You will need to drive to swimming beaches if you take any equipment. "A" bay is nearest beach and is wonderful. The pictures posted here are accurate. Check in process super easy.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was a really nice layout for our family. Had sand toys and chairs. The pool was so close, which we spent alot of time at. One thing to note, the rental company did not seem very familiar with what was in the house. I reached out to see if there was a pack and play and they said no. After lugging a pack and play we discovered one the in the closet. Hopefully if someone else needs it,they read this review.All and all would love to stay again!

Overall, the property met expectations and was an excellent place to stay. The location is excellent as it is within walking distance to shops, the beach and restaurants. And the walk is both scenic and comfortable. It is a very short drive to the golf course and to many of the surrounding amenities such as beaches, additional grocery shopping and local sites such as a Macadamia Nut factory. It is a very short drive to the airport, to Kona and to a Sr. PGA Tour Event (if you like golf) if you are visiting in January. As with all ground floor condos, you have to be cognizant and diligent when it comes to insects wanting to infiltrate your home, but the grounds crew must do a very good job because the number of insects outside were minimal compared to other places we have stayed. All in all, we had another great vacation at Waikoloa Beach Village and this time was at The Shores.

Four adults stayed a week here. We spent a lot of time on the beautiful lanai, enjoyed the pool & lovely grounds to walk. This unit could use some updating & a few improvements in the kitchen & bath areas. How about a NEW TOASTER-it burnt every piece of bread we put into it! How about some towel bars in the master suite -no place to hang bath towels. A drying rack for swim suits & beach towels would be awesome since we weren’t supposed to put them over the lanai railings. Three “slivers” of soap would’ve been nice in the master bath since there were 2 sinks the tub/shower. May sound picky but in reality they are just small improvements that could make a difference.

The location of this unit was fantastic! Walking distance to shops and restaurants. The tennis courts, pool, and gym at The Shores were great! The unit was spacious and comfortable. Good-sized lanai although it was shady not sunny. Easy to book and responsive to questions.

This property is roomy and the lanai is extremely comfortable. The condo needs a new microwave....could be a fire hazard. The sofa has spots and is uncomfortable. Perhaps a new l-shaped sofa with a high back. The surfboards could go in the dining area. Otherwise, we enjoyed the pool, the location, the roominess, and especially the lanai.

Villa 18 at the shores was our home away from home for the last month. The complex is familiar to us but it was our first time staying at villa 18. It was an excellent place to stay. The lanai was our favorite place to be. It offered a great view the golf course and a partial view of the ocean. The condo was spacious and great to entertain our family members that came to stay. A suggestion would be to add ancillary kitchen appliances such as an air fryer and/or an instant pot. They use less electricity than standard appliances. Providing a coffee maker with an automatic shut off would be better as well. Overall a great stay!

loved the apartment, well thought out and set up. The bed is very comfortable and cozy.Just a few notes:* a reading light in the living room on one of the side tables would be great.* although the bed is comfortable, the mattress cover is very “slippery”, making for a strange sleeping sensation.All in all my husband and I had a lovely stay.

This location was probably the best we've ever had in the Waikoloa Area. It was tucked away and quiet. We watched the sun rise over the mountain every morning from the lanai, which was a great view with the golf course in the foreground. The master bedroom mattress was super comfortable and we slept great. It was fully equipped with beach gear for fun in the sun. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. There were plenty of towels and blankets. There were only a few minor annoyances that might bug others more than me:1. The sliding glass doors slide rough and are really loud. It felt like I was violating the quiet hours if I went outside before 8 am or after 9 pm. 2. The master bedroom shower has no door and the shower head sprays all over the place. The shower dam also has to be squeegeed after every use so it doesn't drain water all over the bathroom floor. 3. If people are staying upstairs during your stay, you will hear every step they make and every toilet flush, which can be disruptive at night. 4. I don't think the master bathroom fan moved much air, if any, making the smell of stinky business linger long after the paperwork is done. All of that being said, we would stay here again. The communication with the property manager was great during our stay. The text and e-mail instructions for check-in made it really easy to get into the unit when we arrived.

Condo was absolutely spotless and smelled clean. Everything you need in a home away from home is provided. There is even an amazing bowl of fresh local fruit waiting in the kitchen for you. King bed was amazingly comfortable. Bathroom is spacious and so is the shower. It is a quiet community but everyone that I ran in to seemed to be having a good time. The property is located deep in Waikoloa Village just before the Hilton Waikoloa property. It is a gated community so I felt very safe

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.

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.

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 .
