Not too far from Kona airport. Well kept landscaping and pool area. Clean and neat rooms. We had minor problems with downstairs bedroom ceiling fan. It was fixed in timely manner. Friendly and communicative staff members. Quite and eye pleasing community. We would definitely come back here again. I would suggest to clean AC vents in living room as it accumulated some dust. Maybe to update bath and beach towels.

The villa is in a beautiful secure gated community. Two large pools one almost outside the door and the other with a rock waterfall and hot tub a few minutes away. The villa itself has everything you need for your stay. The only downside from my perspective is the housekeeping co. coubetter job.

Book this rental! This had everything we needed, was super clean, and Melissa is a joy to work with. She went above and beyond, and I can’t say enough good things about this place. The kitchen is supplied with everything you may need, and all the toys for our group of 6, plus more. although we didn’t have any young ones in tow, She had plenty for that too. We would definitely love to stay here again, or at any of her other accommodations. Thank you for the wonderful time together!

This place is absolutely amazing- it’s private, supa clean and comfortable. Easy walk to the pools. Watched folks golf across the green belt in the morning. A/C works great. The dishwasher stopped working, and it was repaired in a timely manner. Owners are very responsive and helpful. We will plan to stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay! The condo was great and we loved the layout with having a master upstairs with a bathroom and the teenagers downstairs. We appreciated our host and how easy they were to communicate. We also loved all the amenities that came with our stay. We want to come back to the big island and book our stay here!

While we had a wonderful trip and would stay in this unit again, there are some things you should know before booking this unit. The location is amazing, but this unit needs some TLC. The beds are very hard. While our bed had a mattress topper, we actually had to go out and buy one for our daughter’s bed as she couldn’t sleep on it. And our son’s girlfriend had to sleep on couch cushions on the floor rather than on the bed. There are few amenities in the unit. While they did provide great beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, coolers and even a beach wagon, there was only laundry soap for one load, 3 garbage bags, no condiments, cooking oils, spices of any kind, no foil or baggies, one sample size shampoo, conditioner and soap for each bathroom, one sponge and a small bottle of dish soap. As we were there for two weeks, we had to go out and buy everything, and for the price we paid, those should have been included. The carpet needs cleaning, as do the couch and chair cushions. We also experienced cockroaches. We ended up leaving the trash outside whenever we left for the day, but we still found them in the kitchen and in the master bathroom. We should have contacted the management company and we didn’t, and that’s on us. A little cleaning and more amenities would provide a nicer stay for guests.

10/10 - would do again and again!!This was easily the best property we visited during our vacation to Hawaii. The condo is a stunning 2-floor unit with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. Check-in was very easy and Andy and Valery respond almost immediately to questions. The kitchen is fully stocked with just about everything you need, including spices, and a limited selection of condiments. The bedding is very high quality, with down comforters and pillows, and high thread-count sheets. The towels are extra large and thick and the entire unit feels new or very newly renovated. All of your beach essentials are provided, including a large number of towels, umbrellas, chairs, games, 2 bicycles, snorkeling gear, etc... The unit is located 5 minutes from the Kings and Queens Market area with restaurants, shopping, and a large grocery/market. Overall, this was a perfect play to stay.

Everything was very good and we had a good stay in your lovely spot. The only trouble was the pool that was closed for maintenance for 3 days which wasn’t super considering the heat and warm, sunny days.Otherwise, we enjoyed the surrounding beaches, the volcanos and lava tubes and exploring Hilo!

This was a great place in a great location. Lots of room for our family of 4 with the place being well stocked for beach, other activities, and the house itself (towels, kitchen, bedding). The pools in the community were great along with a very nice tennis court.

This is a large condo located in a beautifully kept complex. Only 1 1/2 miles from A-Bay and 25 minutes from the airport. Great view from patio and top floor balcony off the bedroom that we enjoyed every morning. A quiet condo with permanent elderly residents on both side adjoining units. Management was quick to respond to any issues we had. Nice to have a garage to park up to a midsize car/suv. Well equipped beach supplies. Recommendations: Remove the huge entertainment center and small tv and replace with 65" smart tv. Replace carpeting, its filthy and beyond cleaning, Better yet install laminate. Blinds in living room and second bedroom will not rotate open or close tight allowing to much light to filter in. New comfy padded furniture for lower patio would be appreciated. Garage door remote available to use in the car would be helpful.

This property worked great for our family of four. Communication with the host was great. Kat is very responsive to any questions and had many helpful tips about things to do in the area. Loved the close proximity to Queens & Kings market. Many fun and beautiful beaches in the area and an easy drive to Kona. Beautiful golf course. Quiet neighborhood. Loved the option of using boogie boards, beach umbrella, snorkel equipment and tennis rackets, although we did not use them. We did use the cooler, which was very handy. Felt safe in a community with gated entry & exit. Unit is a short walk to the pool & clubhouse. Grills are right across the street and convenient. The A/C only goes to 72 degrees. I was worried about this but the temperature was very comfortable and we stayed cool while we were at the condo. We had a large SUV so we did not park it in the garage, but the units assigned parking space is steps from the unit and we probably would have used the outdoor space even if our vehicle fit in the garage. We entered and exited through the garage so we didn’t have to wear our dirty shoes in the unit. The unit has two blow dryers, condiments, coffee grounds, spices, trash bags, and all sorts of pans, utensils, and kitchen supplies. Thank you!

While we found the home itself comfortable and quite sufficient for our needs, the location at Waikloloa required driving constantly (speed bumps are not fun) to the shops, restaurants, and the beach was simply too far to walk to. Our neighbor there who manages the home addressed a few initial problems we found, so overall a good visit.

This condo has so much to offer - snorkel equipment, boogie boards, beach towels, rafts, beach chairs, etc. It was so nice to stay in a place so well stocked for outdoor activities in the area. We loved how close it is to everything!

If ever I decide to buy a place on Big Island, how this place is set up is exactly how I would do it.Very clean, lots of stuff in the kitchen for cooking, full slate of spices and containers etc, and the bed was arguably the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept on in a rental. Big ceiling fans were very quiet.On top of this was the garage: FULL of beach gear; plenty of towels, snorkelling equipment, coolers, umbrellas (strong ones), beach toys etc, etc, etc. PLUS two cruiser bikes (with lights) to take over to the shops or Lava Lava for dinner if you’re so inclined.Andrew and Valery have knocked this out of the park. We’ve been coming to Big Island almost every year for well over a decade and this place is the best by far….you can’t go wrong here….thanks guys!

Great location and property, we enjoyed our stay very much, fresh fruit upon arrival was a nice touch, hosts were very responsive to our questions, highly recommend. The way the beds are listed caused confusion as I was filtering for three bedroom properties but this one only has two.

The Colony Villas are a great option when staying in Waikoloa and the most reasonably priced. This unit is not as fully updated as others in the complex but it was just fine for our purposes. The master bed is comfortable and everything works. There is a decent selection of kitchen supplies as well as everything you need for the beach.

We rented this home for our almost two week stay. The home was spacious, comfortable and perfect for our family. The entire home was well supplied with everything we needed. There were tons of towels and linens which is perfect for Hawaii. Our home was close to the pool which we utilized a lot. The location felt very safe and laid back. Snorkels, boogie boards, tote bags.. anything you could possible want/need for the beach was supplied as well!We would absolutely stay here again! The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful!

Beautifully updated unit. Well equipped kitchen and beach gear. Spacious and open. Easy check in. Property manager responded promptly to all questions and was able to offer a late check out for our flight at a very reasonable cost. Resort is a great location with all the amenities that you can need and quick access to all the best beaches of the Kohala coast.

The property is located in lovely Waikoloa surrounded by the beauty of Hawaii. The landscaping is immaculate, the community is peaceful and welcoming, and the amenities are perfect. The villa has all the necessities and layout was well planned. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We thought this was a great location. This area is very beautiful with lots of walking trails. We liked that it was so close to A-bay, Hapuna and Mauna Kei beaches. The condo had lots of beach stuff including boogey boards, umbrella, cooler and chairs so that was very helpful. We liked also being close to island gourmet to pick up groceries and some fast meals. The condo was well equipped for us to do some cooking and was right around the corner from the pool and the BBQs which was very nice. Paul was quick to respond when we contacted him about questions.

A very clean and nicely updated 2 bedroom townhouse in Waikola. Comfortable king bed in the upstairs master bedroom. Very near to one of two pools in the complex. Very quiet. We had a bit of trouble locating the building where the unit was but called the owner and then easily found the unit. The a/c is locked at 76, not really an issue for us as we opened the windows at night for cooler air upstairs.

The place was just as advertised - very clean, newly remodeled, and well stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay. We appreciated the fact that there were wine and cocktail glasses, and a full set of dishes and bowls. Several of the places we’ve stayed at had a small amount of kitchen Items, and not enough to accommodate a family of four.

The property was perfect for our needs. Plenty of room for our family. The pool was close and rarely crowded. The proximity to the back gate was convenient. We got a better rate at the golf course since we were staying at the villas. I would choose this place again.

This is a perfect location for easy access to all the sites on the Big Island. The accommodation is beautiful. We have stayed in multiple vacation rentals in Hawaii and this far exceeded our expectations. It had everything you could possibly imagine to make your vacation. The condo is exceptionally well stocked with everything you need for the beach. It is beautiful, clean, lots of space for big families. Our only regret is that we couldn’t have stayed longer. Thank you very much to Melissa..

Our family of six had a great time The property is right next to the tennis courts and across the street from the pool and in the Waikoloa complex with the Hilton and Marriot properties and many other rental/ownership homes. Golf and retirement reigns supreme here! Beautiful to run in the mornings around the big loop…

We enjoyed our stay for 2 weeks in this condo. We have stayed in other condos in this complex and this condo is by far the best we have stayed in. It was very clean when we arrived. Communication with Kristi was very easy. The condo had everything we needed. We appreciated having a small supply of spices and condiments. The beach equipment saved us from renting or buying. Beds were very comfortable. We loved opening the curtains in the morning and looking out on the golf course. The furniture on the upper and lower lianas were so comfortable and clean, a favorite place to enjoy our down time.

We stayed here for six nights and had an amazing time. The place is spotless with super cute decor. It was stocked with just about everything you could ask for. Just a couple minor things: there were no cooking seasonings or oils- not even salt and pepper. The other downside was that the cooler they provided was so huge we couldn’t even get it on our rental car. It would be great to provide a cooler bag or something smaller for day trips. But again these are minor things. The place is very comfortable and the complex is very quiet (no traffic, no chickens, etc). We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The grounds were amazing. The house was great, with a few things that need some attention. It was a good fit for my family.Im a bit of a clean person and I have a toddler, they come messy, lol. I couldnt find a mop of any kind so i was cleaning with washcloths. While doing this, I noticed the floors were not mopped before we came. If they were, it wasnt done correctly. Being so close to nice beaches and having access to beach toys was great, thank you for that. Having a pool for the evenings to tire the kids out was nice. They also loved the tennis courts. We couldnt find a pump for the basketball or we would have enjoyed that as well. Whe we come back, this property will be one we look into again.

Tho it had views only of parking lots, the unit was well appointed and had all the beach things you might use. Tho tidy, it was not really clean. One shower had hair on the walls. It appeared not to have been dusted in quite a while. Bedding was just ok.

We spent a fantastic 8 days at Cindy's place. It is stocked with absolutely everything you could think of in terms of beach chairs, equipment, etc. It was very clean upon checkin and we didn't encounter any bugs. It is in a great location within walking distance to the shops etc. Our kids spent a ton of time in the pool! Would definitely stay again.

The condo is as pictured - nice furnishings, lovely lanai, good separation of the two bedrooms. The ceiling fans were enough for us and we didn’t need the air conditioning. The pool area was very nice but we spent most of our time seeing the island and hanging out on beaches. We made dinner several nights and it was very relaxing and pleasant to be in the co do. I highly recommend this place.

Everything is ok. The view and location are one of the least advantageous within Colony Villas and since the condo is professionally managed, there are no benefits typical to privately offered rentals - e.g. kitchen equipment basic stuff only, no hobby equipment available (locked away in garage), limited towels, etc

The Big Island is so diverse - from cattle ranches to artists colonies to Hilo and the amazing Lemay museum. The property is wonderful space - very homey compared to a resort- many serving dishes and kitchen utensils. Barbecues are spotless. Swimming pool and hot tub a glorious end to a day or just lounge there all day!
