As we walked into the Waikoloa Beach Villa I2 for the first time, I literally said aloud "This is wonderful!" And it was for the entire two weeks we staid.
The parental suite is beautiful with ensuite walk-in closet and bathroom. I would be remise not to mention the bidet toilet (might be a weird thing to mention, but it was awesome). Note that this part of Hawaii has hard water, so be aware the soap lathers differently. Also, the shower head isn't detachable from the wall. For those of you of average height, this shouldn't be a problem. For those of us who are vertically challenged, it was still doable.
The condo is equipped with everything you'll need for your stay. Lots of pots and pans and drip coffee maker in the kitchen, laundry detergent, dish detergent, soap, etc. Moreover, there is a convenient storage closet on the lanai where all the beach gear is kept. You'll find two beach chairs, beach umbrella, boogie boards, etc. We had morning coffee on the lanai each day and got to hear the birds, mongoose and the greenskeepers who sing as they drive by! They even wave at you and wish you a good morning.
The Beach Villas are just across the street from shopping which has everything you might need: a high-end grocery store, shopping, cinema, restaurants, etc. It's also super close to beaches such as A-Bay, Kua Bay, Hapuna, Beach 69, Mauna Kea (which was our favourite). Also a close drive to Waimea for restaurants.
A remarkable property and vacation! Thank you!

Property was in a great location, fully stocked and very clean. Plenty of chairs and beach items for use as well as beach towels. Furniture overall was very weird and uncomfortable. There was so much furniture on the balcony you could not move around. View is partly of the gas station across the road. Not a huge deal but we received a text after we arrived that the water was going to be shut off for an entire day. Would have been nice to know that ahead of time. Overall pretty good

We had a lovely time and the property manager Stacy was amazing! Our family was distracted with our small children and caused some hiccups, but Stacy was understanding and kind throughout our stay.
Lovely location and clean unit.

Our family (2 adults, 2 teens) loved this rental. The condo was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and it had everything we needed and more. Checkin was easy, and Michelle (property manager) was friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for our adventures exploring the island, and we loved the proximity to groceries, restaurants, and beautiful beaches.

Great locale, great condo, good value, no issues. Liked the golf and Hilton pass. Worked out great for me and my family. The only glitch was that we couldn't turn off the AC or fan at night for some quiet time.

Property and location as advertised. Would definitely consider this place again. Being able to walk to the grocery store and shops was fantastic. You could even walk to some restaurants as well. Lava lava beach club was a family favorite and being so close to it made it hard to choose anything else. Sunset dinners on the beach? Yes please!

So so clean! Had everything we needed for our vacation. Umbrella , beach chairs, beach mat, noodles, floaties, snorkeling gear, coolers (big one and backpack) and bikes. After a long day snorkeling and hiking just drive back and park in their garage right in front of the condo. The owners put so much consideration to their beautiful place! We will definitely be back here!!

I was surprised at how spacious it was! Our bedroom overlooked the pool area, without being too close. The loft had nice views in both directions. We loved stargazing from the hot tub and swimming in the pool with the rocks and garden setting. We found the location convenient. Great stay!

Everything was beyond perfect. It worked for our multi generation family including my 90 yr old mom. The place is beyond our expectations. Loved the extra beach gear and the two bikes were a welcomed surprise. The place is so quiet and wonderful. Hope to return soon.

My little family of 5 enjoyed our recent 3 night stay. The property location is perfect in many ways. The community pool and fitness room is a short 1 minute walk from the property. The property is also conveniently located right across the street from the Queen's Shops (which has a movie theatre, various restaurants, Starbucks and local boutiques). The property manager communicated quickly to my messages and was very thorough about the details of our stay. The unit was clean and stocked with kitchen essentials. We will definitely consider staying here again in the near future! It was a perfect staycation for our family's end of summer break! :o)

Property is clean, well stocked, and the beds are comfy. AC is a plus, but opening the windows to feel the trade winds is almost better.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This is a great property. Close to the airport, shopping and groceries. Big box stores like Walmart and Target we not that far away for supplies. The only thing I would recommend is the sifa in the living room could use some attention if not replaced.

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was clean, quiet, well decorated, and comfortable. I really appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was, any tool I could have wanted for cooking was available. My kids loved the pool, so we spent a lot of time there. My husband and I spent most mornings on the lanai, reading, drinking coffee and listening to the breeze in the palms. My only issue with the condo was that we couldn't figure out how to turn the volume down on the TV. Overall we had a fantastic, relaxing time here and would definitely book here again.

Enjoyed the area, pool, beach, shopping. House was clean and inviting. We (grandparents) stayed in the main floor bedroom. The bed is not comfortable. It creeks every time you turn over or get in and out of bed. It would be ok for kids. Also, I asked 5 months ago when I was booking 2 properties in the Villa to accommodate our family of 13, if it was ok to occasionally gather together at the house. You did not respond, only the day before checkin when i wanted to be transparent and asked again, then you said no. I would have booked elsewhere.

Having never visited the Big Island of Hawaii we had no idea what to expect!! The location was perfect for us to navigate around the island seeing the sights that most interested us. The property was great and having a ground floor unit was perfect due to some disabilities. Loved the garage parking!! We will look forward to visiting again!

Matt's property is stunning! Like new and super clean. He has absolutely thought of everything, beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, etc. No need to bring anything. Very easy walking distance to several restaurants, shopping and the market. The recommended Mauna Kea luau was a blast with wonderful food and entrtainment. We rented Matt's Kia also, great, clean vehicle
that easily accommodated 5 adults and beach gear. We hope to return soon!

Our stay was amazing! From the initial communication to check in and throughout our stay the host was amazing. I can't say enough about the beautiful, well appointed property. From a chef stocked kitchen to beach, pool and snorkeling gear everything was amazing. The attention to detail was fantastic. We loved the proximity to shops, groceries and restaurants, it was walkable and so convenient. Having two pools onsite was amazing and the extra bonus of Hilton passes absolutely made our stay. We would come back with family or friends anytime! Thank you for a memorable and amazing vacation!

Convenient, easy in and easy out property that is perfect for a visit to go diving the Kohala coast. Property is quiet and well maintained and unit is clean and functional. Not as nicely appointed as other units on same property. Would stay here again.

Everything was better than advertised. The check-in process and location instructions were very clear and easy to navigate. The cost was lower than most in the area. The unit was clean and the kitchen was very well stocked. They even provided some paper plates, etc. for going to the beach. They also provided some spices and laundry detergent. The garage came with two beach chairs, an umbrella, a cooler, two boogie boards, and a bag full of snorkel gear. The only drawback was that my two adult children who stayed in the twin beds upstairs stated that the mattresses were quite hard. The other two beds were very comfortable.

What a fantastic place with a beautiful view. So clean and modern and had everything we could need. Plenty of everything that we would need, and then some! The beds were comfortable, the rooms were large and air conditioned, and the complex very clean and tidy. Very well maintained and quiet. A close walk to plenty of shops and restaurants, Lava Lava Beach Club a favorite. I would stay in this villa again in a heartbeat.

We were two parents, 18yo and 11yo kids. Location was great. Walking to the beach was a bit off for us since it required walking on the shoulders of a busy road. We drove to Hāpuna beach which is only 7miles away. Two shopping centers nearby and a marketplace for all necessities (but greatly overpriced). Starbucks is just across the street. Gym is compact, but good. There was no AC in the gym which made it impossible to be in with intense heat outside, but when the evening breeze starts you can open all gym sliding doors and then it’s much better.
Overall a good value for money. Recommended.

Property is fantastic. The unit is well-stocked with everything you could need. The location can't be beat! Queen's shops within walking distance but you'd never know it because everything is so quiet and peaceful. The hilton pool pass is a nice perk! Would 100% stay here again!

This was our second time staying at this condo. We love the development and the location of the Waikoloa Beach Villas to the Queen's Marketplace and King's Shops. The condo is great but could use a bit more attention from the property manager such as hand soap in the bathrooms/kitchen and full propane tanks prior to guests checking in.

What a beautiful property! The Hale is exactly as listed, and Don and Cheryl were a dream to work with; highly responsive and very kind. The place is well stocked with shelf stable items and condiments as well as all the things needed to create home cooked meals. Plenty of towels and toiletries, so don't fret if you've forgotten anything. They also have beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear and anything else you could possibly need for your trip to the beach. I would recommend anyone to stay here and Don and Cheryl will be the first people we reach out to should we visit the Big Island again. Mahalo!

Came with husband, toddler, sister and her son. The three bedroom layout was great for us so the little toddler could have his own room to nap in - two suites upstairs and one queen bedroom downstairs for my sister and her son to sleep in, bathroom outside the room. Plenty of space for the 3 adults and 2 children, along with a helpful Hawaiian nanny. Used the dining table inside for all three meals each day.... Placemats are in the buffet on the wall (didn't find those until the last day lol). Even though 74 was the lowest the AC can be set to, we were very comfortable at 74 and sometimes turned it up to 76. Queen's marketplace had most things we needed and when it didn't, Waikoloa Village wasn't far which had a KTA store for other grocery necessities. A-Bay was a very quick drive every morning with easy parking. We left some sandcastle making stuff in the lanai closet for the next guests, along with a few step stools and a toddler booster seat. We hope those can be of use to other families! All in all everything was clean and we mentioned a couple very small maintenance issues to the PM who said they'd take care of them! They care and I'm sure you'll have a great stay too!

We had an amazing time at this property and the rate was unbeatable. The property was spacious and clean, with beautiful views overlooking the golf course from the lanai.
We took advantage of the Hilton pool pass and validated parking. It is a short walk to Starbucks and the Queen's marketplace, and there are also great trails and walking paths for morning or evening walks.
We hope to return soon!

If you love to cook while you are on vacation this is the place. It has everything you need. Condiments in the fridge for use and honor system to replenish. Beds were comfortable. My kids wished the bed in 2nd room was split apart as requested when I initially booked this property. Beach chairs, umbrella, and coolers were very handy for our excursions around the island. Snorkel gear provided was OK-better off renting/buying your own. A/C only cools to 76 degrees and unable to adjust. I totally understand conservation. The recommendation to open windows/sliding door at night helps cool the place but prefer A/C due to sounds of nature at crack of dawn, sprinklers and golf course mowing. Overall, would stay here again!
