We loved everything about the condo. We've stayed in this complex for 20 years and this is by far our favorite condo. It had everything we needed and for me, the traditional Hawaiian decor made it perfect!!
Thanks Nancy ad Terry.

Condo was beautiful. Very comfortable and quiet. Swimming pool is the star of the show. Two hot tubs, one with a trickling waterfall. Lots of amenities close by. We would stay here again.

We found the place wonderfully clean and beautifully decorated with high quality things. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Lots of spices for cooking as well as other cooking things left behind. Kitchen has everything you’d need for any kind of meal. Condo had beach toys and chairs plus good beach bags and a cooler and umbrellas. Beautiful view on the lanai which was fun for enjoying mornings and evenings. Place was very quiet. Also there’s a great restaurant called Tropics that is just across the way. This was a great place to stay. Very well located and in walking distance to the shops and the big hotel with the fun pools and lagoons.

Upon arriving, we realized that the condo was not what we expected. Entering the condo was a door-mate that was worn and torn (I almost tripped).
Here is a list of what disappointed us:
1. Ice maker was frozen
2. Walls we’re scuffed and needed painting
3. The owner controlled the use of the air conditioning and although he said, opening the bedroom windows would cool off the room during the night, there was often no breeze plus the window sills were black with an accumulation of dust and grim. (I would like to send photos of this)
4. The bed linens and towels are old and dingy, making what should have been a luxurious stay seem uncomfortable.
5. The barbecue and outdoor refrigerator were filthy beyond
description (I also have photos of the barbecue that I think you should see.)
6. We paid top dollar for this condo and expected luxury.. Even at half the price we would had expected comfort and cleanliness. This Condo was unacceptable!
7. The only saving grace was a lovely convent location.
8. We would not stay there again and would not recommend to anyone.

We absolutely loved our stay in Sylvia’s lovely condo. The home is so well-appointed, clean and welcoming. Location is fantastic. Sylvia was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful stay in this condo. It's very spacious, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were nice, and lots of extras to use at the beach (kid toys, chairs, and coolers were a plus). The location was perfect, we have two young kids and we were able to walk to the beach (ʻAnaehoʻomalu Beach) within 10 mins. This beach was perfect for young kids, it's a sheltered bay with gentle waves. In the afternoons, we would splash around at the condo pool. We had one issue with the stove and Vacasa sent someone out within 30 mins and had it fixed quickly. We would stay here again, we loved it!

One of the best vacation rentals we've stayed in. Very well stocked kitchen, walking distance to A-bay beach and shops, lots of snorkel/beach equipment to borrow.

This condo has everything. Kitchen is fully equipped and has tons of containers to store your food in. The lanai is beautiful and has great privacy on one side unlike the other condos. Parking and trash take out is very convenient. It’s a nice walk to the shops and to the beach as well. It seems like an older retired clientele in these units which was perfect for our younger family that wanted to enjoy some pool time at the end of our days. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay and would book the condo again. We didn’t see the ocean view, but didn’t mind as it was easy to just stay on the property and relax.

Advertised as second floor, two twin beds in second bedroom. We were on first floor, one double bed. But it did not matter much. The facility was clean and integrated to the outdoors with two lanais. Seating was comfortable with many chair and couch options. No complaints from anyone. Our group consisted of retired anthropology professors who received their Ph.D. degrees from Stanford U. We held long discussions everyday sharing our accumulated experience on the topic of how social structures and organizations need much more attention in public discourse, policy and planning. We all learned from each other and had a great time in a wonderful environment. (No communication with property manager)

The place was great, and exactly what it looks like in the listing. A nice place to stay, about twenty minutes walk from the shops and A-beach. Easy drive to lots of other beaches. The hosts were flexible about check in time, which we appreciated as we got there a few hours early. Highly recommend. If you don't feel like walking all the way to A Beach to see the sunset, there's a rocky promontory which also has great sunsets and is slightly closer. (But unlike A beach, you can't swim from
there...)

We have been to Hawaii several times over the years and absolutely loved our stay here. The pictures on line look nice but it's much nicer seeing it in person.
Beautiful place! The owners have done a terrific job with decorating the place, a mixture of modern and Hawaiian. Everything is carefully laid out making the stay very nice. All the beach gear you need is here, and the lanai is so pleasant! We had a great stay and will try to return some day. Aloha!

The dirty sheets and towels were on the floor. And the key was not in the lockbox.
We did laundry, made the the beds and enjoyed the res of our trip. My cleaning deposit was refunded. Everyone was happy.

We had an issue getting access to the property as well as the condo.
Had to get in touch with management and finally property host to get gate code and door code. Once inside we had no hot water! It was fixed the next day but after a day of travel and 45 min drive a cold shower wasnt very nice. Sorta bummer when considering the amount you pay.
Condo was nice, funiture was a bit dated and mismatched. Bathroom doors need to be replaced with real doors for privacy, the closet magnetic doors offered zero privacy.
Beach equipment was well used, boogie boards were pretty beat up, one of the beach chairs had a broken handle.
It was a great location and good place to call home once everything was settled out.
Hopefully updated funiture, and better access communication will be addressed for future guests.
This is the 4 vrbo we've had in HI over the years, I have to say I would probable not go back to this one unfortunately.
It just didnt have that welcoming feeling the others had.
It looked like a work in progress hopefully as these things are addressed I'll be a competitive listing again.

The place is outdated. The carpet needs replacing. The furniture needs cleaning. The chairs on the Lanai need the pads replaced (worn/tears). The kitchen need modernized (microwave/oven/stove). Will not return to this unit.

The condo was exactly as described on the website, everything was awesome. Great location, close drive to the very best sandy beaches. Very short walk to the pool and the awesome hot tubs. The condo was very clean and all of the appliances worked great. Gretchen promptly answered all of our questions, including providing helpful local information. We enjoyed having beach chairs and towels available for our use. We would definitely rebook this property.

We liked the view from the balcony. It was gorgeous. We like the location of the condo in the properties in Waikoloa. We like being at least on the 2nd floor for viewing purposes. The management was excellent. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, dishes. There were great beach chairs and water toys.
However, The ice maker in the frig did not work. The unit itself needs some updating. The online pictures in the rental information showed the second bedroom looking bigger than it actually was. And it didn't show that it was closed off only by sliding slatted doors. We also assumed that the 2nd bathroom was connected directly to the 2nd bedroom. And the 2nd bathroom was very small - even with ants in the shower. We were disappointed that we did not have two suites. The closet in the 2nd bedroom was so crowded with equipment that there was little room for clothes and luggage storage. The bed in the 2nd bedroom is in serious need to replacing. The toilet in the master bath would not flush unless you held down the handle until the water started to swirl and flush down. The shower head in the master bath would not move so it could not be adjusted. It just hit the wall opposite the shower head. The community pool was average. It is unfortunate that we could not use the other pools in the areas without such an expensive daytime pass. In summary, we felt that for the price we paid for the unit that it should have been updated and in a little better condition.

We have stayed in numerous VRBO rentals, but this was the cleanest and most comfortable one we have stayed in. The kitchen had everything we needed, with high quality appliances & glassware. The bed was super comfortable, as was the living room furniture. We appreciated the welcoming gift upon arrival and the owners were highly responsive. We appreciated them accommodating a pre-arrival request we made of them, and it's clear that they take great care to make the stay enjoyable for guests. We enjoyed the view from the lanai and took full advantage of the lovely pool and gym. Had two great meals at the adjacent restaurant/bar - Tropic Ale House, and the Lava Lave Beach Club was also fun and walkable. Couldn't recommend this place more. Hope to come back soon!

The condo is in a great location. The bathrooms need to be upgraded badly, area around the shower does not come clean and door to shower in master does not close completely. Louver doors would not close until we put WD40 on the track, they should be in working order for renters. The light fixtures in the kitchen were very dirty, the cleaner should remove the dead bugs.There was no lock on the bedroom screen door, wall by louvers need repair, everything needs paint. All and all it was livable but could be in better shape.

Great details and directions for checking in. Well supplied from beach accessories to food items and kitchen supplies. Easy walk to the Hilton, A-bay for sunsets and shopping. This area was great. Thank you, would book again.
March 2024
This was our second stay in this condo. We really like the size and how it is set up. The outdoor space is the best for us as we like to be outdoors most of the time we are in Hawaii, and this condo has a very large lanai that is sheltered from the often windy Waikoloa winds.
The only thing I would mention is to be aware of the clothes dryer- it has a tendency to try to eat clothing items. It appears as if the seal around the door has a spot where items can catch and get caught, so just be aware of that, and if you have something delicate or special, you may want to hang dry.

What a wonderful place to stay! We loved being able to walk out and watch the golfers go by. This unit is very spacious and has everything you need in the kitchen! The beds are very comfortable. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and found a close place to park to bring our gear! Highly recommend!

Waikoloa Condo Review
Title: Waikoloa Wonderful
Text: We had a wonderful stay at this neat, clean, exceptionally well-supplied condo. The location is perfect. Within easy walking of excellent beaches, shopping, and restaurants. We really appreciated the ground floor location as it meant the lanai was quiet and private and it was so easy to get in and out with luggage and beach equipment, etc. Speaking of beach equipment, the condo was well-stocked with everything you need for a great day at the beach: chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel gear, ice chests, and mats. They were all in great condition. There were also lots of great pool toys for the on-site pool and the pool was so nice. We have stayed in lots of short-term rentals around the world and this was one of the best-equipped kitchens we have ever experienced. It was so nice not to have to immediately go buy more paper towels or napkins or olive oil or even salt and pepper—delightful. Finally, Sarah struck just the right balance of being responsive to any needs that we had and yet allowing us enough privacy to thoroughly enjoy our Waikoloa retreat. We are already planning a return.

This was our first trip to the Big Island, and it was a fabulous experience, beginning with this beautiful rental property. The photos on VRBO give you a sense of the care the owners have taken to decorate it, but once you walk in you will be awestruck by the size of the condo. The Master Bedroom is HUGE as is the ensuite. We began the day with coffee on the lanai and ended the day with a glass of wine. The kitchen is so well equipped, and there are endless cleaning supplies and paper products to keep the condo tidy. The furniture is not only lovely, but it is very comfortable, and we slept like babies each night in the bed! The owners are excellent communicators, and the check in/check out process is seamless. Pay attention to their loooooooong list of recommendations, they do know the area well! The location is perfect for walking to the beach, to local restaurants, and to the shops at the Marketplace. Food and wine for creating your own meals can be found at the Island Grocery. We especially enjoyed walking to the Hilton and watching whales from the coastal trail. And lunch at Lava, Lava Beach Club was always a treat. If/when we do come back we’ll check on availability here, to be sure! Mahalo Linda and Tony!

From the moment we booked we had excellent communication. Everything was completely streamlined. The condo itself had everything we could have possibly needed from the kitchen, bathrooms, patio and beach necessities. Beds and living area very clean and comfortable. Thank you for an amazing experience in your beautiful condo!

At first we were excited to see it was like the listing, however upon further inspection noticed some things that we couldn’t get over. There was gecko feces all over the master bedroom and bathroom. The master bedroom window was broken in a way that there was a large gap that allowed critters in daily. I let management know and they put sticky traps around the window to kill the geckos (not my intention as we just wanted the window fixed). There were ants coming out of the shower/tub area of the master bath as well. Management sprayed twice during our stay. The bottom of the shower curtain was pink from bacteria. While the kitchen and living area were clean and wonderful, our problems were just the master bedroom/bathroom. The grounds were amazing during the daylight hours but imagine our surprise when going to the pool at dark and seeing no place to set your things due to plenty of cockroaches and giant ants. Again, management sprayed after we brought this to their attention. We didn’t have any other options so we stayed but were very dissatisfied with the situation overall. This place needs some serious deep cleaning and the windows need to be fixed or replaced.

We loved staying at this property for our first family vacation to Hawaii. It was very well maintained and clean when we arrived. It had all the essentials we needed for our week long trip. We were close to shops and restaurants as well as walking distance to the beach. We will hopefully be returning at some point in the future.
Thank you!

Amazing location, away from the noise and crowds closer to the airport in Kona. Half hour drive North from KOA was simple and straight forward. Unit close to waterfront, beach and golf courses. Beautiful mountain view from the wrap around lanai. The complex was quiet.
