Villa 1 and their hosts were exceptional. A great location on the Big Island, close to many beautiful beaches and tons of island activities. Loved the two large master bedrooms and bathrooms, great room and chief's kitchen. 10/10, hope to be back soon.

Had a great time visiting this part of the Island and watching our son participate in the half Ironman. The condo had everything we needed for our short stay, and we were rarely inside to take advantage of amenities.The only initial confusion was our assumption that the second bedroom was also a king bed based on photos. The owner’ son was great at communicating and helping with any issues even while out of the country. This is a great condo for families with children!

The house is beautiful in a great community. We didn't use all the amenities that went with it. The beach club a couple of times and the workout room. There are so many good beaches close by that we used the beach chairs provided and went and hiked to other beaches. We traveled from there to historic sites and foodie places. Laura Lee responded quickly to a couple of questions and was patient when I didn't complete a form. We will definitely highly recommend this rental. Thank you Laura Lee and Raymond

Very clean and luxerious-feeling accomodations. Quiet and well maintained grounds. We had one minor maintenance issue, and they had someone out to fix it ASAP. We would definitely stay again.

Plenty of room and the outdoor patio was a plus. The shower head in master could use an upgrade. Pool was nearby but we did not use. Loved the area— lots of shopping, market and restaurants close by.

Pros: Spacious unit, updated baths, large terrace with beautiful trees and birds surrounding it. Good price. Comfy bed. Responsive manager. Cons: Decor lacked any Hawaiian influences. It was quite boring compared to the other properties we stayed at on our 4 week trip. Basically no decor. Dishes were mismatched. Definitely felt like a rental - not a place an owner would stay at. We stayed 7 days and the A/C only worked for 3 of those days. It was difficult to get a cross breeze so it was very warm and difficult to sleep at night with the heat. We would have left had we known it wouldn't get fixed but each day it seemed it would get fixed but then parts were not available or the repair person couldn't come. I understand that these things can happen unexpectedly. We were given a one night refund which I appreciated but expected more as that did not make up for the discomfort and inconvenience.

Another good stay at this property. Made good use of the beach chairs and umbrella for day trips to Hapuna and Mauumae beaches. We find “The Shores” to be the best location within the Waikoloa Beach Resort area. A manageable walk to most everything. … A-Bay, Hilton, Marriot, Kings Shops etc. Lorena’s property is comfortable and well stocked. Probably time to replace the cushions on the lanai dining chairs but other than that no complaints.

First of all, we loved the area! It was so peaceful. Easy walk to grocery and shops and also just about a 15 minute walk to the beach. Great restaurants in the area The condo itself could not have been nicer It was clean and better stocked than any condo. We have stayed in in the last 25 years. The fresh fruit left for us was above and beyond.We will definitely stay there again on our next visit to Hawaii

The condo itself is quite nice. The space is good, the beds are decent, the bathrooms are really good-sized, and we enjoyed the lanai. Issues that were less than desirable were that this condo offered little by way of accessories. We have stayed in Hawaii three times now and this is the first time we have encountered a condo that only provided cheap, thin beach towels. Granted, it was not listed that more was offered, we have just always found more. Our other stays included tennis rackets/balls, beach chairs, an umbrella, towels, etc. This is not a star against them, just something worth noting. Our one large disappointment was that this condo offered AC and our Ac was out for 48 hours. We contacted the facility and were told, "we'll contact our maintenance guy, but he might not want to come out on a Sunday." That is poor service. Essentially we went 48 hours in a condo that is not designed to create any kind of cross-breeze, so we were pretty miserable for two nights of sleep. My husband contacted them the day we left because the original gal he spoke to said she'd look into compensating us (she never go back with us). The final conversation my husband was told "we don't usually do this, but we'll comp you 10% for your trouble." My husband was grateful and felt we'd received a good response. However, the compensation was 10% of one night's stay. We have received much better service and response times for issues other places.

Richard’s property is perfect for a Big Island stay! We stayed with four adults and had plenty of room for time together and quiet time apart. The kitchen is very well stocked (we did a lot of cooking) and there’s plenty of staple items to use (spices,etc). We were so grateful for the beach items including towels, chairs, boogie boards,and a cooler. The lanai is enormous and the sunsets from the lanai made the perfect end to perfect island days! Thank you Richard!

My daughter and I absolutely loved our time here, especially after spending 2 days at the Hilton. Our stay here was so peaceful and exactly what we wanted. The Lanai was perfect for watching the sunrise each morning and listening to the birds. The breeze at night kept everything cool and we never needed to turn the air conditioning on, we loved that. Everything for a perfect Beach day was available too... Chairs, towels, a cooler and even a boogie board. Hapuna Beach is just a short drive up the road and is not to be missed. The complex pool was never crowded and the water was the perfect temperature. The condo has been upgraded since the were photos taken,there are new counter tops, flooring, bathroom remodeled and a very nice sleeper sofa. Lin was a wonderful host as well, even leaving a plate of fruit from her farm for us to enjoy. It really felt like we were home instead of on vacation. We hope to come back again someday!

The booking was cancelled due to water heater going out and not being repaired in time - as we were flying to Hawaii. Effectively - I received the cancellation after the check-in time. They had a replacement unit in an inferior location without air conditioning. I received a full refund, and am working with VRBO to reimburse me for the extra cost for the unit we had to find on extremely short notice - jury still out on that as I have been getting the run around from VRBO. Wasn’t impressed with the communication from the property manager - and will avoid using them in the future.

For a family of 4, having 2 separate beds for the kids in the guest room was perfect. Location was great with easy walk to the water and the kids loved the pool!

Home was a nice spot to stay if it didn’t have multiple cockroaches climbing all over the kitchen counter and occasionally in the bedroom. Every night when k came back from being in the island, I would turn the lights on and multiple roaches would scatter. So gross, o had a 4 night stay there, I only stayed 2 nights because it was that bad. The property manager takes forever to get back to me if at all. Not a good experience!

This property holds a special place in our hearts! Gorgeous, elegant, roomy, with an elevator if access is an issue. Lovely lanai with views of ocean, lava fields and upcountry. Lovely pool to soak the rays and take a plunge! We love the weight room and the safe wide path for early morning jog and work our out! Kerrie is truly the best with communication and accommodating any need that arises.

We had an amazing stay at this condo. It was clean, new, spacious and had all the amenities we needed. The location was excellent as the grounds were beautifully manicured with close access to the pool, exercise room, and walking distance to the beaches. The hosts were most helpful giving great ideas of activities, beaches to visit and places to eat. They also were prompt to any questions we had before and during our stay. This is a place we would stay in the future for how smoothly it all went.

Pros- great location, size of space, consistant communication, and fabulous grounds.Cons- cleanliness ( carpets were straight up gross, showers had hair clumps left in them, bedding was stained, food residue on counters, and lanai outside bar completely unusable)If you are looking for space and are willing to clean this is the spot for you. We were pretty disappointed but after a few hours of our own cleaning we could enjoy our time.

This property looks and feels exactly as it is shown in listing. It’s an extremely quiet area in the middle of a busy resort location (two malls in walking distance). The unit was very roomy and comfortable for two couples. The pool is one of the nicest we’ve been at for as long as we can remember. We enjoyed staying here very much. Mahalo!

Overall great. The condo had a great layout and really excellent balcony. It was also in a nice quiet location that felt central to the west side of the island. When the AC ran at night, it made a cracking sound in the bedroom that was a bit disruptive, and the bed was a bit too soft for our preferences. Other than that, a great stay.

Property was just as advertised and in n a great location in the complex, across from the pool and BBQs. With 2 master suites at opposite ends of the unit, it was perfect for two couples to share. Condo had everything we needed and quickly felt like home. Beautiful lanai and great sunsets every night.

Such a lovely relaxing condo. So well appointed and has absolutely everything one could need. I loved the homey feel of the place - not a sterile rental condo feel. The condo was exquisitely clean, quiet and perfect to unwind from a day of sightseeing; sipping wine on the lanai, planning our next day was heaven. We will absolutely stay here again.

Everything is as advertised and is one of the cleanest properties we've stayed at. A well equipped kitched, along with ample supplies of paper products and cleaning supplies. Wonderful lanai, however would benefit from a ceiling fan to enjoy it more. Beach supplies and cooler are a nice bonus!
