The home was very nice, we had an enjoyable stay.

This home had everything we needed and more. The lanai is wonderful and very large with plenty of furniture options - tables, chairs and chaise lounges for hanging out and also enjoying sunset. We loved the quiet neighborhood location but really convenient short walk to other area attractions including beaches, trails, Kings and Queens Marketplaces, etc. Pool was very nice as well.

My family and I had an amazing time. This house had everything we needed and more. The amenities were great, the WiFi worked well on all of our devices, and the space was large enough for our family. The washer and dryer were a huge plus!! The parking was also very convenient. Mahalo for the great stay and awesome service! We will definitely come back the next time we visit!

I rented three condos in this neighborhood. This one by far was the best condo for its price. The area was great and well-maintained. Very close to restaurants and shopping and very close to the beach.

If 1986 is your favorite year, this place is for you. If you don’t spend much time inside your rental, this place is for you. The carpet is definitely in desperate need of replacement. The furniture is in desperate need of new cushions or replace. The TV requires multiple attempts before it works. The outdoor space is good. Beach chairs and umbrella are good. This is not a rental for a long term stay. We’ve been coming to the Big Island for many years and this was a definite “miss”.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at this property. The place was clean and provided a comfortable space with a beautiful view of the golf course. Additionally, markets and restaurants were conveniently located nearby. We loved it so much that we're already looking forward to returning for our next trip.

The condo is located at the heart of Waikoloa. Easy walk or short drive to restaurants, market, malls and beach. The condo suited my family very well. Would stay there again.

Place is great. Large enough for two families. Patio is very large with nice furniture. The kitchen is a bit small, but functional. Washer & dryer is very nice. Lots of water toys & beach towels are appreciated. Finding the candy is confusing. We couldn’t tell from the information what unit we were in. Make sure & ask before you go. With that said - they were quick to respond & get us to the right place. Pool is super fun! Would stay here again.

This location and property are even better than the pictures can reflect. My family absolutely loved our time there, felt very at home and comfortable, and found every amenity we could possibly need.... including two amazing tiki glasses for our homemade pina coladas!

Our family with 3 kids < 10 really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was in the perfect location close to shops and groceries, although we often just cooked in the condo kitchen and enjoyed eating out on the lanai. It was a great home base for adventures to the national landmarks near by, beaches, and Mauna Kea. The kids LOVED all the beach toys and we used them a lot. We also had a blast doing puzzles together at night. Everything was clearly labeled and easy to use and comfortable and we could not have asked for anything more. Will definitely be coming back again next time we are on the big island!

Great location for a base area to explore the island. There was plenty of space and the amenities are just what you need. The washer/dryer ended up being a big help as well.

We loved staying at this property. The location was great. Maria thought of everything and made the stay most enjoyable. She was so easy to work with and was available to help with any questions and/or requests. Her cleaning staff was also very helpful and delightful.
We loved the wrap around patio and all the windows. There were plenty of amenities. We had such a wonderful time.

If you're looking for comfort and lovely surroundings, this is the place. It's clean, beautifully appointed -- far more than most short term rentals -- the beds and furniture are comfy, the kitchen extremely well stocked, the amenities generous, and the host is simply great to work with. We requested several special accommodations for our 3 week stay and Richard was more than receptive to working with us. He also put together an incredible binder of information about the area. We found the location ideal for our purposes, convenient to groceries and shopping, and we enjoyed staying here. The pool, and being able to walk along the shore to A Bay, were special treats.

The accommodation was exactly as shown in photos. Was very clean! The kitchen supply is a bit of a mish mash but utilitarian. It did lack a kettle of some sort but a pan sufficed, as I am a tea drinker and not coffee. Kitchen is also showing its age. Appliances have been updated but cabinetry is starting to sag. The bed was very comfortable, plenty of towels for shower and beach/pool. Also beach chairs & cooler in closet for your use. Some games are hidden in bottom drawer of bedroom (look there). Laundry access was tight with a large tub of cleaning supplies on the floor but quite usable. Thank you for the detergent for our use. BBQ’s are located close by near the tennis courts, a short walk of 1 minute. Communication with the property manager was nil. I want to chalk this up to technical issues for everyone’s sake. Overall our week here was a grand adventure with so many sights, hikes and history! Thank you Hawai’i for all the Aloha shared! 💚

My wife and I stayed here for a week in March to celebrate my birthday and to visit friends who live on the Big Island. The apartment was spacious with a large balcony for outside dining, and we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. It was close to the Kings Shops and Queens Marketplace, plus there was a bar just 100 yards away for casual dining. A minor drawback was that there was not sufficient lighting in the living room or the bedroom to read by in the evenings.

My husband and I had a perfect stay here! Spacious 1BR/ 1 1/2 Bath with renovated kitchen and master bathroom w/ great shower. Lanai was also good size. The condo is stocked and supplied with almost everything you need. The beach chairs and umbrella are in good condition and very useful! The complex is well maintained, very safe, and conveniently located. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Maria!

Wonderful view of the volcano off the patio, great view for morning coffee. Unit was as described and clean. Check in was a breeze. Noticed a very nice pool in the complex but didn't visit it. Close to shops and groceries and the grounds are very nice. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The outside lanai was very comfortable and feeding the birds was entertaining in the mornings. There is one dumpster behind the unit and you will see people from time to time putting their trash in it. It was a nice experience to be there.

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed at this property in late February and early March of 2024. Initially two others joined us for the first six days of our two week stay. We all enjoyed the condo and found it to be very clean, well supplied and comfortable. The pictures shown accurately portray the conditions we found on arrival. We have rented six other condo units at three other complexes in Waikoloa Beach and this was up to the high standards we expect there. The only criticism is some things like; carpets, window coverings and cupboards are showing signs of wear.The property reservations manager, Michelle of Kohala Coast, was excellent. Very professional, accommodating and readily available. We cannot recommend her highly enough. We will surly contact her first on our next trip to the Big Island.

This condo was in a great location on the island.!it had all of the amenities needed for the beach. The fully stocked kitchen was very much appreciated. The views from the lanai were amazing! We’d stay here again & recommend this property to others.

I was happy with the location and cleanliness but notvery happy with the amenities, meaning equipment in the unit.
The microwave was quite old and made noise like it was going to die.
There were literally 6n dinner plates. No salad plates . 2 cereal bowls.
2 smallish cooking pots. No spatulas.
Cooking a meal was difficult.
Beds and baths were fine.

Good unit except it's ground floor location near the building entry. The hot water heater was questionable and stopped working the last 2 days. Management was responsive to the problem but it wasn't fixed in time. Also, the garbage disposal needs to be replaced.

Richard & Marita have thought of everything for convenience- appreciated the attention to small details that you may need on vacation! Check in was easy; check out was not burdensome- instructions and tips are clear! Easy walking distance to shops and golf- can see the sunset form your lanai! We were very pleased with our stay and would stay here again!

Overall, lovely condo, nicely updated and comfortable. Well equipped save a few minor items like cheese grater and vegetable peeler in kitchen for when you wish to prepare your own meals. Also, could be practical to add a couple of reading lamps in living room. Otherwise, a great spot in Waikoloa Beach Resort! Would not hesitate to recommend to other travellers going to this location on the Big Island!

Absolutely!. Great property and amenities. It's everything i want in a Big Island holiday. Beautiful space, located close to A Bay and Waimea. Host is responsive, but i didn't need to bother her. Give this joint a go!

Loved the property and the accommodations. Very clean, and lovely view of the mountains. About a 15 minute walk to the nearest beach, but there are also a number of beaches within a short driving distance. We arrived about an hour early and I contacted the host to see if we could check in a little early, and she was very accommodating. Already booked for next year!

Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Lots of hot water in showers. We loved the short distance to the beach—it was gorgeous. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub. I noticed in a different review someone said the knives weren’t sharp. Ours were perfect (we ate BBQed steak). Gorgeous views of the golf course. We also appreciated the beach chairs and boogie boards. All in all, a great getaway for family or couples looking for a relaxing, fun vacation.

Motel 6 had a better selection of necessities than the condo. No beach gear, ice chest, condiments (like salt and pepper), dull knife set missing scissor, no Big Island travel book,blanket didn't fit bed. Had to call to get compete starter kit. No feeling of extras, very spartan.

Lovely condo and lanai - perfect size for a couple. Nicely remodeled main bath. Very thick foam pad on bed but 100% cotton sheets would be better and fitted sheet that fits tighter do it doesn’t bunch up under you at night would be better.
