As usual, we had a great time staying here. So many amenities to make it feel like home. So much to do in the area and the boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, etc....made our adventures easy! Thanks for providing these. The condo is very comfortable with a lot of space.
Every day we were there was awesome. This location makes it easy to get to multiple beaches, sight-seeing areas or if you just want to hang out in the area, you have the option of walking or just a really short drive to great restaurants, beaches, golf and shopping.
We love Lava Lava, and usually go there a couple times during our stay. I will say, Shipwreck beach, which is really close, typically has very few people. Lots of turtles here and this time I had a visit from a Monk seal.
I can't wait to return.

We really like our stay here. The house is well updated and all the things provided were in good condition. The area was quiet and spacious. It was at the end unit that is close to a kid friendly pool. Most amenities were provided for our week long stay. Parking can be tight. We had to use extra care going in/out with our van.
Management was responsive to our questions and needs. Plenty of beach accessories were left behind for us to use. Overall, we would recommend this place to others and would like return here in the future.

My sister and her two 16-year-old twins came to visit from the mainland. I live on the other side of the island so we did all the things on that side of the island but wanted to go to the Seahorse Farm, do the Manta snorkel and go swimming at the beach a couple of days. I booked this so we could enjoy the sunshine, beaches, shave ice, and warmth from this side.
This property was very well-appointed. We never cooked as we were gone almost all day every day but it was great to sit and eat food we picked up. All the appliances were new and clean. The beds were all great as well.
I have to mention bugs. Or should I say, "lack of bugs" here. One thing I hate about staying in Waikoloa/Kona are all the bugs and tiny ants everywhere. So much so I don't complain at properties because so many people say "oh, it's part of being here". I never, EVER saw a single bug or ant in this unit and I am SO THANKFUL!!! Wow! Thank YOU!!
There were ample chairs and snorkel gear. We didn't need any because I brought all of mine from my house. There was a very nice selection of everything.
I enjoyed the ample seating in the dining room, living room, and patio. We were rarely there, but it was nice to sit around for a little while before we collapsed in our beds for the night.
I thought the decor of this unit was wonderful. Really a pleasure staying here. I enjoyed how quiet it was. I also enjoyed the quiet central A/C.
I would 100% stay here again. Thank you!

Great location and amenities. There were a couple of issues.
Chemicals: Mainly an issue since I had young children. A minor recommendation would be to have chemicals stored somewhere other than in easily accessible cupboards, such as under the kitchen sink. My 1 year old daughter grabbed an open container of powdered cleaning product. This obviously was on me for not having my eyes on her at that moment, but given that others may stay with their children there, I thought I would mention it.
The AC: It is controlled by a Nest thermostat, which is locked. The condo temperature was set at 76 degrees on auto mode, which was much warmer than my 1 year old daughter could handle. We are from Hilo and are used to warmer temperatures during the day, but not 76 at night!
I contacted the owner (or manager, not sure) to see if they could turn the temp down. Initially, I was told that they found the temperature comfortable and that energy costs are high. They offered to turn it down to 74, which I said was fine. Within a few hours, the temperature was turned back to 76 F. Since my daughter is young, I again requested they turn it down for her nighttime safety. Since the contact was on mainland, they didn't turn the temperature down till 2 in the morning. We went through the same thing the next day.
It was weird and Orwellian (like big brother) to have someone else control the temperature of a condo you are renting. I understand cost, but we paid a lot to stay here.

The condo was clean and spacious and the common areas were beautifully kept with tennis courts, golfing and recreation rooms available. The pool was lovely and there was a beach, a grocery and a number of nice restaurants and retail shops all within a five minute drive. Parking was a bit tight, but otherwise we loved it.

This villa was a breath of fresh air. It's large, clean and quiet. Having our own parkingspot was useful and villa practically borders the (adult) pool. There was hardly anyone there during our stay, so basically a private pool too. Location is great for exploring west side of the island and all the great snorkelspots. Communication and instructions provided from agency were thorough en detailed. Loved it and would stay again.

This condo was actually better than expected. The additional beach gear was very useful and the overall setting of the accommodations made this a high rating. Vacasa came through in the way they interacted and kept up with questions about our needs. The cleaning crew is to be recognized for their thoroughness. Overall a great vacation. Thanks

We stayed at this property during our trip to the big island to visit family. It was a great unit for our small family, and worked out well for us. The unit was well equipped with supplies for the kitchen, pool, and beach.

I was amazed when we checked in. This place was just as beautiful as the pictures showed. It seemed too good to be true. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it never did. there were plenty of amenities for the guests, beautiful rooms, Beautiful grounds, and a wonderful location. Also five stars for Kona Coast Vacations. They kept in touch with me, made sure everything was OK, and on our first full day, they called to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely use them again!

This property was well located in a clean well kept and groomed gated community. The property representatives were attentive and responsive. The interior was clean and up to date. You will love setting on the lanai in the mornings looking out over the well groomed open area! We fully enjoyed our stay!

My wife and I stayed 2+ months. We had visits from our son & wife, then our 5 grandchildren (two at a time + one single, over 2+ months). The condo was perfect. It is clean, quiet, great kitchen, along with beach toys, snorkels & chairs. Parking right outside our door. Kristi, the owner, was wonderful to deal with. Any questions were answered almost instantly. Beds, towels, linens, cushions in great shape. Nice patio and furniture much nicer than most neighbors. Location ideal for a variety of trips and sightseeing. No surprises!! Hope to return in the future.

This house had the perfect location, not far from the airport and right next to the Queens Marketplace, Kings Shops, and a beautiful golf course. The community pools were a very short walk from the house, as was the workout facility. The house itself had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation. The outdoor patio was perfect for sitting outside and enjoying a cocktail in the evening. We fell in love with this island and when we come back we will definitely stay here again.

I thought parking was gonna be an issue turns out there was just enough for my guest n I near the pool area and the walk is brief from unit to pool and car….
Although we keep it around 76 degrees on thermostat it was much colder downstairs for sure so happy that went well…

We stayed here with our family of 4 and my husband's 92 year old father. Bedrooms were spacious, beds were comfortable, and the unit was large enough for us all to spread out. Generous supply of beach towels, chairs, and equipment made going to the beach easy. On breezy days there was no need to turn on the AC, as the unit has two sliding doors, fans and many windows to allow the air to stay cool. Wonderful spacious kitchen with large granite countertops for easy meal preparation. The pool area was an easy short walk behind the unit, but never noisy. Lionel was immediately responsive to any inquiries, even supplying two types of coffee makers to satisfy all coffee making preferences. We highly recommend Lionel and his lovely unit.

Good value for the money paid. Received what was expected with a few nice surprises such as the pool area and quitness. Beats combat tourism in dowtown Kona. Just a lttle too far from beach and stores if you are in a hurry or don't like the heat and wind.

Places very clean and well stocked with towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Also includes snorkeling and boogie boarding gear, which is great for that area.
Guest bathroom showerhead had very low water pressure and made showering difficult for my guests.
The master shower on the other hand is very nice and a great relaxing experience

Great property with pool and amenities nearby. We had a great trip! Good launching spot to explore the island. Very comfortable condo. Only thing we’d have different is the flooring in the unit. Many cracked and broken floor tiles and fortunate no one cut their toes.

We made this reservations shortly before we arrived on island. Kind of had to take what was available. The property cleanliness was less than acceptable. The master bed comfort was terrible. Kitchen appointments and such were minimal. Overall, the unit was somewhat outdated, And in need of some thorough cleaning.

Our first trip to Hawai'i was comfortable and easy staying at the Colony Villas. The nearest pool to the villa is not toddler friendly, but there is another one in the complex that works well. We understood from the VRBO listing that renting a car was necessary to get to and enjoy the beaches. We also made the couple hour drive two days to see waterfalls and Volcano National Park on the other side of the island and were glad we did. The townhome is a good place to hang out between outings - comfortable bedrooms, easy for cooking meals, space to lounge and watch a movie - but not so much for spending a lot of time. The patio is not very large and is in shade most of the time. We were very happy with our vacation rental.

Reviewer Comments:
Our 16-day stay at Colony Villas 1804 was absolutely wonderful. This is a beautifully decorated, comfortable, and extremely well-equipped unit. It is a home, and we felt so welcome the moment we walked in. It has everything! Appealing and thoughtful decor, comfy bedding, plush linens, great kitchen equipment (good knives! And everything else you could want!), strong wifi, private outdoor space with nicely furnished lanais, quality beach equipment, new large appliances, and plenty of essentials (soaps, paper goods, etc.) provided for our full stay. The entire unit was sparkling clean. The manager, Mike, is extremely responsive and helpful. The area is lovely and very quiet; the two pools in the complex (one nearby, but not too close) are so enjoyable. We have already booked for next year and we can't wait to get back to this fantastic villa. Mahalo to the owners for putting so much into their place for visitors to love. We give this property an unqualified positive recommendation.

Condo 1802 was perfect for our family. My daughter and her family are all athletic. The children could go to the pool, hot tub, fitness center and tennis courts on their own and we would know they were nearby. The condo was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed in the kitchen. Also plenty of linens. Everyone packed light so the washer and dryer got used a lot too! Thanks for everything.

Great space and location! Perfect for our needs. Parking can get tricky in the evening as there are very few spots that are not marked reserved and when you finally do find one it can be a bit of a walk back. But other than that everything was perfect!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen/beach supplies are well stocked. The living room furniture has been updated since the photos were taken, too. The only thing that proved to be a bit of a pain for us was having two cars and only one parking spot. The listing doesn’t explain that there are other spots to park within the resort area but they fill up every day, so it became a daily stress for us trying to search for limited parking whenever we used our second vehicle, and sometimes wouldn’t find any. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay and would come back.
