We spent a wonderful Spring Break at this beautiful condo and it was a perfect home base for all things on the Big Island. Very walkable to a variety of places, but also great home base for a day trips to beaches and sight seeing. The lanai was the best - so beautiful! Condo was spacious, comfy and clean. The teen girls used the condo pool a couple days and it was great to sit on lanai reading and hear/see them. Communication with owners was amazing. I had lots of questions before and during and they were very responsive and had great tips and advice. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

The condo unit was as describedIt was supplied with most everything we needed; and the walk to beach and shopping was very manageable.The beds were comfortable, even the couch was a good sleeper.We couldn't get the TV in bedroom to work, but did fine without it.The ceiling fans were a big help keeping the unit comfortable(Did not communicate w/ prop mgmt)

Unit E105 turned out to be perfect for my 8 week stay in Waikoloa Beach. It was a good size to have family visit on and off but not so big that it was too much for just me. It is close to places and things that I like to do but at the same time gave me the privacy when I needed it. I would recommend it and would rent it again.

Such a beautiful & clean resort grounds & condo. Lovely view from this condo’s lanai, Kolea’s beach club & down at the beach at A Bay as well. We stayed in a different condo & loved this complex so much last year. We could not wait to return this year.We still had a lovely two week stay this year; however, because of the vog that drifted here to Waikoloa (from the smoldering volcano, Kilauea), I was disappointed I could not enjoy being outside as much at Kolea this year.

It was wonderful to visit Hawaii with the comforts of a full kitchen and space to relax. 4 adults and 1 child had ample room to sprawl while also spending time together on the patio or playing cards at the table. Walking distance to waikaloa shopping and food. I will definitely be a repeat guest for this property

We just ended our 10 day stay at Monica's Vista Waikoloa condo at Waikoloa Shores on the Big Island. The condo was as described with a large lanai with ocean and sunset views. Check in was a breeze and the condo was clean and comfortable. We especially appreciated it being equipped with all the beach gear we needed. We will definitely consider it again the next time we go the the Big Island. Mahalo

The condo was large, spotless, very quiet, and in a great location. The lanai was very large and provided a lot of shade - easy walk to restaurants, shops, beach area. While there was not a large ocean view, the surrounding trees, mountains, golf course and waterfall were lovely. Great appliances - Bosch dishwasher, large refrigerator with large-capacity ice maker, good drip coffee maker. Nicely remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. We hope to stay here again.

We enjoyed staying for a week at this property. The location was great, with easy access to the King’s and Queen’s Shops, which had a good mixture of restaurants, stores, and a food market. The property was spacious and we loved the lanai, which overlooked a golf course. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything needed to make meals. The beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels provided were used frequently. We would stay here again.

We were enjoying the condo, but noticed the AC was not working. After an attempt to fix it, the property managers upgraded us to a house. We were very appreciative they moved us to a new and better accommodation. The rest of our trip was wonderful. Great service for an issue that was outside their control.

My husband and I stayed two weeks at this wonderful condo. This was the nicest condo we ever stayed at! Beautiful decor! Comfortable furniture and beds. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you for all the ziplock bags, paper goods, trash bags and soaps. We didn’t need to buy anything and replenished the bags we used up. We cooked in several nights. Nearby gas grills were excellent. Pool and hot tubs were used daily and only steps away from the condo. Daily walks to the beach trail or nearby shops were great. Close to many golf courses for the many rounds we golfed. Close to Hapuna beach! We wanted to rebook for 2026, but already booked for the winter months! Highly recommend this property!

This is a very nicely furnished third floor unit with an extremely large lanai. It has very nice view of the pool below and the ocean/shoreline in the distance. The king bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is very well outfitted. We had a few issues during our stay. The management company was eventually able to resolve all of them. However, we would have appreciated more communication from the management company during the process of resolving the problems.

We had a broken toilet and screen doors. They fixed the toilet after two tries and a phone call to the handyman myself. The screen door never did get fixed. They fixed a sliding door that was working fine and said that was what I had requested even though I sent pictures of the broken screen door. There was also a mouse in our unit which we reported immediately. No action from the mgmt company. We left a day early because of it. The twin beds were not converted to a king. I had confirmed this twice with the mgmt company and we ended up doing it ourselves. There was a 2” height differential when the beds were put together so not really convertible to a king. The place really could use some TLC, it is tired looking.

This condo is in an excellent location, with walking to everything in Waikoloa. (Restaurants, shopping, beach etc) It is in very clean and in good condition so easy to relax and enjoy your holiday in comfort. The local management were very quick to respond to questions. The 2nd floor and building location provides a beautiful place to enjoy coffee and breakfast in the morning and sundowners in the afternoon. You will not be disappointed staying in this condo. By the way, it was not clear about the type of coffee maker came with the unit. It has both K-CUP and drip coffee makers.

Our stay in this beautiful condo was almost perfect. The unit itself is absolutely beautiful, and is stocked with just about everything you could possibly need. From just about any dish or appliance to fully stocked spices and condiments and bathroom toiletries there really isn’t much left out. The pictures listed are true to life and up to date and there wasn’t a speck of dirt anywhere. Most of the check in instructions and information were absolutely clear and easy to follow - however we had a small issue with the thermostat and it took several days to resolve that. When you’re in the unit you don’t have full control over the temperature- they don’t want the temp to be set below 72 which we were totally fine with, but the settings kept causing the a/c to shut off at night and the temperature would go up and made it very stuffy in there. We tried communicating with the property manager, asking for the temp to be set to 73 degrees from 10 pm until 7 am (we had only limited control of the thermostat), and after more than a few messages back and forth with limited responses, it seemed to be resolved. The pool area was very nice, with an infinity pool and very large hot tub, comfy beach chairs and plenty of big clean towns. It never got too crowded while we were there. Tried leaving more info but apparently there’s a limit on how much I can write! \_(ツ)_/

The unit was beautifully decorated and had everything you could need for a stay on the Big Island. We particularly liked the two balconies where we sat to relax each evening to watch the sunset. We also loved the pool and the relaxed atmosphere of the resort. The beach and two shopping areas are within easy reach and we would recommend the drive over the Saddle Road to Hilo and the National Volcano Centre which was fascinating. Thank you Monica!

Condo was easy to find. Very clean and well stocked kitchen and includes all basic supplies. Owner allowed us to check out late which was a big help. Owners provided very helpful information on the area, restaurants, things to do. A very enjoyable stay! Would highly recommend.

Our stay here was everything we could have hoped for during our time in Hawaii. Great location walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the Hilton conference center. This place is a little larger than the photos suggest too! The hosts were great to communicate with and I couldn't imagine a better place to stay in this area.

Hubby and I stayed for 6 nights. Absolutely love the size of this condo, the roominess in all rooms and the wraparound lanai. Breathtaking views of the mountains and a fantastic glimpse of the bay. It’s a very short walk to the beach via the Marriott property. Location location. Easy access to anywhere on the island. Great eating and shopping choices at Kings and Queens shops and marketplace. The bed was super comfortable.The tv would not work and we contacted the property manager who came within the hour to resolve easily. No other issues at all. Only suggestion is to add more hangers. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Thank you!

Great place-spacious,airy. Can walk to shops and beach is 10” walk. Everything was great except I left a pouch behind containing about 200 worth of sun block and moisturizers that host was gracious enough to let us back in after check out 3 hrs earlier. Upon arrival, apt had already been cleaned, beds made and linens changed. Pouch was not there.

Our family had a wonderful time on vacation on the Big Island, thanks in large part to this excellent condo. The arrangement had ample space so that each of the 3 of us could have time to themselves yet also come together for family meals, etc. The master bedroom was very comfortable, and having a private bathroom off the master suite was so convenient. Our 18-yr old son enjoyed having his own space as well. The balcony/lanai was a huge asset. I was so happy to drink my coffee outside (in January!) and watch the sun rise over Mauna Kea. We all enjoyed the pool on multiple occasions, and the beach towels provided for us were a great help. The location of the village, a relatively short drive from Kona airport, was so convenient. We were able to walk to restaurants and shopping nearby at King’s and Queen’s centers. For longer day trips, we appreciated use of the cooler provided by the owner. Having a washer/dryer and dishwasher was super helpful when we had wet clothes from swimming, etc. Overall, we had a wonderful visit and would love to do so again in future. Highly recommend this property!

So much to love about this serene, spacious, light-filled condo! Privately nestled in a lushly landscaped complex but offers beautiful views of the ocean, sky, and pool from two lovely lanais. Generous well-appointed rooms in a prime location for exploring beaches, touring Kona and the north loop, meeting marine life up close and personal, or indulging in the many great shops and eateries nearby. Easy access to the saddle road to take in Mauna Lea and Hilo or scoot down to Volcanoes NP. Monica and Tami are consummate hosts providing detailed information on all the possibilities as well as every imaginable comfort and convenience to make you feel welcomed and pampered. Can't wait to come back! primelocatilocatiofoexpexploring

This condo seemed very clean and recently remodeled, and had everything we needed plus a lot more. The views and sound of birds from the balcony was great. The pool and jacuzzi were beautiful, and we had them all to ourselves most of the time. This might sound silly, but I loved the countertop in the primary bathroom. As I am writing this, I wish I was still there!

We had wonderful experience staying at Gretchen's condo. The listing and check in instructions were accurate and detailed. The condo is very well stocked and clean. Vista Waikoloa has very clean, well maintained, heated pool and two hot tubs which we fully enjoyed. We usually stay at Kolea resort, but found Vista Waikoloa be equally enjoyable. Unfortunately, our toddler scratched TV screen with crayons bad enough so it had to be replaced. Despite this inconvenience for the host, Gretchen's communication with us remained courteous and complete which we greatly appreciated.

Beautiful location right in the heart of the beach area. HUGE lanai for relaxing and watching the beautiful sunrise. Large community pool with two hot tubs. Plenty of space for a family of 4 (though we didn't know you could pull apart the King bed in the second room so each of our kids could sleep on their own bed). Super quiet and lovely. Will pick Vista Waikoloa whenever I have the opportunity going forward.

Everything looked like the pictures, no surprises.I would book it again.

We enjoyed Reg and Susan's two bedroom condo in Waikoloa. The unit was about 20 steps to the complex's saltwater lap pool with two jacuzzis, and about a one minute walk to a small fitness center and a large community area with several grills. The complex is also located conveniently within Waikoloa - it's 10-15 minute walk to the King's shops and the Marriott hotel, another block past that to the Queen's shops, a 5 minute walk to the Hilton, and a 5 minute walk to a nice beach trail across the street from the complex. We watched the sun rise between Mauna Kea and Anaeho'omalu Bay every morning. Several renowned beaches and hikes are within a 20-30 minute drive. Reg and Susan were responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Thanks!
