We introduced our sister in law and her husband to the big island and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. The condo was well appointed and had great views. Access to all the wonderful things to do in Waikoloa was easy. Would recommend this unit to anyone going to Hawai’i..

We really enjoyed the pool! The television was difficult to operate but the property manager was very helpful and got it to work.

This condo is in a wonderful complex with easy access to beaches. The pools and large grassy areas allowed the kids to burn energy when we weren’t ready to head off. There are two nice pools in the complex. The closet with the laundry has a wonky door, however the washer/ dryer worked well. There are boogie boards, beach chairs, sand pails, ice chest and many other items for use available under the stairs. The condo is nicely decorated. The mattresses are aging but comfortable. The furniture on the patio is comfortable with a nice view, however, it has heavy rust at its feet and is due to be replaced. This condo worked well for 3 adults and 2 young children. We greatly enjoyed our visit and will consider it for our next visit to Hawaii

We have stayed in multiple units in this development over the past several years. We love the area, the general facility, and layout of the units.
Overall our stay was great. Unit was in good shape and matched listing. AC/ceiling fans worked great which in our experience has not always been the case in other rentals. Wifi was excellent. Pool, BBQs and other areas of development were in great shape.
For the unit, a couple of items to be aware of. Existing supplied were slim when we arrived so we went to the store the first day. Coffee maker is small ( 4 cups), so be ready to make multiple pots. AV system works, but instructions in the unit call out usage of a universal remote which had corroded batteries installed and didn't work with even with a new set of batteries. The oven door was damaged so you could not really use the oven handle to open. We contacted the on island support folks to take a look and it will require a new door.
Our interaction with the management company was not a great experience. During Covid, one of the key criteria we used for the rental was the cancelation policy. The management company has a different policy than what is listed on VRBO. We only found out about this AFTER we had made the reservation. We raised this to them, but they never addressed it. I gave 2 stars on the accuracy of the listing because of this item. We also had multiple times when we would not get timely response from them on questions we sent them which is why I gave 2 stars on communication.

We had a fun stay at the this property and quite honestly the photos doesn’t do it justice. It’s much more brighter and more spacious.
4 stars for cleanliness because the floors inside was dirty when we arrived. Also found a few dirty plates that was put away.
4 stars for check in because I was not given a code for keypad AFTER I emailed property company that I thought it was odd that I did not receive a keypad code because how are we going to get in?
They replied and said I would be able to get in with the information they sent. They also resent the same information they did the first time, still with no code.
I thought that was odd but okay.. we arrive at the property and at this point we only have the gate and lock box code. We tried the lock box for a while because I thought that was how we were getting in since they didn’t provide a keypad code even after I emailed them.
It took a few calls to get someone to help me as it was 5pm HST when we tried to check in, offices were closed. Thankfully a property manager called 20mins after I initially called the first person and helped us to get a new code.
Other than that everything else was great!

Thanks for a great visit, everything was as advertised. One of the faucets in master bath was non operational and dishwasher seemed to leak sporadically. Other than that, great stay!

Affordable, convenient & secure
I would rated this overall as 5 stars but for one small inconvenience. There were no bath or kitchen mats. I treated the condo as if it were my own so I didn't like leaving any water on the floor. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to my friends.

This condo is a great place to stay while visiting paradise. Comfortable and clean with everything you need. And in a complex that is beautiful, quiet and close to shopping, beaches restaurants and other activities.

It was a good quality place to stay--it was just right for us 4
It was a good quality place to stay--it was just right for us 4. They had everything we needed, except need to provide kitchen hand towels. We've stayed in 2 different places in Waikoloa before which were really nice, though 3 bdrm units. This being 2 bdrm is of course smaller.
TV and media side was great - Netflix build in, easy to use. Had washer and dryer plus lots of beach chairs, cooler, lots of goggles, a 2-3 sets of fins, snorkels and one nice umbrella.
Suggested updates, changes and/or additions:
* The couch could be updated since it's getting close to looking and feeling (support) a tad worn.
* Garage locked - Allow people to use the garage. The other rentals all included it with all the outdoor equipment conveniently out there and not jammed into the condo.
* Kitchen towels
* Add 1 more umbrella since 2 would be better--4 of us were huddled under the one. Also, the screw bottom is broken and falls off. Might want to replace.
* Water purifier/Britta is broken - needs to be replaced.
* Area rugs in Living room would be a cozy addition and look nice too.
* Area rug or carpet in the 2nd bedroom downstairs would make a difference too. The room could use a little warming up and decorating. A carpet/rug would help a lot.
* Annoying that the windows were locked and could not open in the bedroom. I understand the need to control the AC which I think is already handled by your system shutting down A/C if any windows or doors are open. we're unable to open windows. Let people make the decision to open windows or use A/C. Seems to me too as a potential fire hazard if one needed to jump out from the upstairs mstr bdrm.
* No fan in the downstairs bathroom. There's a sliding window in the shower, but if you are able to open it, the A/C system shuts off for the whole house.
* Mstr bath - the fan is too loud and need to be fixed or replaced with quiet one. Need also separate switch of the fan and lights. There's 1 light switch that turns on all the lights--no way to be quiet in the night. It's either dark or light up for a night game and fan noise. It's a big mstr bathroom, add separate switches for vanity lights, ceiling lights and fan. It's a nice looking place but missing a few inexpensive touches that should be expected.
Last, the nightly rate was very reasonable. But we've noticed that here and all rentals there have $450-$600 is fees tacked on. I think owners are attracting with lower nightly rates, then add in the fees later.

Perfect
My wife and I travel a fair amount and are used to finding most places lacking supplies, instructions for remotes, batteries, etc. This place had a fully stocked kitchen, remotes that worked, everything to make you feel right at home from the start. It has the perfect location to visit the beaches of Hawaii , go shopping or launch a tour of the island. The Villa neighborhood is quiet and beautifully landscaped.We even had the luxury of an adorable cat visiting us on the lanai. For groceries I would recommend the grocery stores in Wiamea or Waikaloa. Also in Wiamea there is a butcher shop that can't be beat. We will definitely be back to the Villa.

Great location, excellent value
This townhouse is clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. Our contact, Daisy, is always quick to respond if we have questions. We are impressed with this unit and with the service. As a result, we have rebooked for next year. I would not hesitate in recommending this unit to anyone looking for very nicely decorated, comfortable townhouse, in a great location, and an excellent value.

Great place close to amenities and enjoyed the pool and fitness room
Our kids had a great time here - nice villa. Everything was on site....just need to buy food from Costco and just cook away!
Nice patio space and loved the washer and dryer!
Would do it again! Cheers from Canada

Amazing vacation!!
Everything we expected and more! We had an amazing vacation and are extremely sad to be leaving. The Villas and community here are amazing, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The villa we stayed at was absolutely gorgeous, the photos really do not do justice! It was our perfect home away from home, we had everything we needed while we were there and the place is so warm and welcoming with beautiful decore. The location is close to everything, definitely rent a car when you go however there are local stores in the queens marketplace and a lovely itallian restaurant. Its close to beaches and other fun things, also the pool is beautiful and was always quiet so there is always a place to lay and relax (unlike other resorts where you fight for a chair). There is also a list of things to do while you're there.. we would recommend doing a helicopter ride to see the beautiful island. The place is perfect for visiting with families, friends or as a couple. We will definitely recommend to family and friends and hope to return as soon as we can!

Excellent rental, perfect home away from home
We rented this unit for two weeks in July 2016 and LOVED IT! The home is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and welcoming. The owners have made it especially accommodating for guests traveling from the mainland, considering all the "home away from home" necessities one might need but not wish to pack (beach towels, sand chairs, coolers, extra linens). And guests will find many extras not usually found in most rentals (coffee grinder, spices, kitchen gadgets, grilling utensils, docking stations, books/games, a Wii, Netflix, and great WiFi!). The unit was clean and very well maintained with comfortable beds (including the sofa bed), new furniture, and a warm and welcoming decor. We loved the location of the unit within the Waikoloa Resort. The A' Bay beach on the resort property was gorgeous and so peaceful, rarely crowded. Great for snorkeling or wading in the shallow surf. There were ocean activities available, with reasonable kayak and paddleboard rentals, as well as snorkeling gear rentals. Beach chairs were free to use on a first come basis and the Lava Lava Beach Club was just a few steps away, with friendly service, good food, and delicious mai tais! The pool nearby was very nice, and since each cluster of units has its own private pool, there were rarely more than two families at the pool at any given time. The Island Market, shops, and restaurants at the resort had everything we needed. We also loved the condo's easy access to Route 19. We did a lot of traveling around the island! Dream Properties Rental Company was very helpful with any questions we may have had prior to our arrival and while on our vacation. We will definitely return to this condo! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thank you to the owners for making this a fantastic vacation rental.

Absolute Paradise
We adored our 10 day stay in this beautiful villa. The surrounding area is stunning with wonderful views of the mountains and large expanses of volcanic rock which give you a great feel for the island. Our hosts were wonderful and everything was ready and waiting for us. They also have a really comprehensive folder of information about local restaurants, sights to see and emergency numbers. They've thought of everything.
The villa is precisely as advertised with all the facilities you could possibly want! The owners have done up the villa and really accentuates the local culture. Everything is modern but it's very easy to settle in and make yourself at home. The two bedrooms make it perfect for families but also for a romantic holiday!
We would recommend hiring a car but the fact that we didn't have one didn't stop us having fun. Loads of tourist companies will collect you from Waikoloa which is perfect. We went ziplining, swimming with dolphins, snorkelling with manta rays at night and a sunset whale watching cruise.
The beach is a few minutes walk accessed from either hotels on site with water sports equipment available for hire. The restaurants and market onsite are brilliant and have everything you can think of. We loved the Hilton hotel and the option to swim with dolphins onsite is not one to miss! We didn't want for anything. We'd highly recommend and can't wait to visit again.

Great holiday rental
We have stayed at this unit twice now, first in the summer of 2014 and most recently this past Christmas. We have also stayed in 2 other units in Waikoloa. All the units in this complex have been nice, but this one is the best which is why we have booked it twice. The furniture, fixtures and fittings are really modern and up-to-date. It was also the most 'homey' and well decorated, making it feel more like a home than rental. Unlike the last reviewer we found the unit spotlessly clean on both occasions. The master bedroom bed is really comfortable. It's also in a good location, with a beautiful view off the terrace onto the golf course, where I occasionally went for beautiful morning runs. Some of the other units, near the tennis court don't have a view onto green, only onto the road. The kitchen is really well kitted out, which is great when you are trying to cook a Christmas dinner! Other things that were useful was the wii for children's entertainment, the boogie boards and also the really high quality beach chairs that are great to carry on your back when you are walking down to the beach with all your gear. I have no hesitation recommending this place and would book again if we return to Waikoloa.

Gross
I live on the other side of the island and take my family to waikoloa area about once or twice a month for a mini vacation. We like to try different condominiums and resorts. The area is beautiful, the facilities are nice but this is the worst private condominium that we stayed at. Upon arrival the fire alarm was ringing. We tried to shut it off numerous times but our attempts continuously failed. When we called the property management they told us there was a leak with the air conditioning system on the second floor of our unit. The second floor entrance to the master bedroom was soaked with water and buckets were already laid out because the maid had put them there because of the known leaks. It took two hours before an employee from an outside agency to come an another hour for him to fix the problem. We had to use the condominium towels to soaked up the water. When we asked if there was another room available there was not. Later that evening property management did come with fresh towels but it was dingy and unmatched towels. There was also a wash going through a cycle when we got there as if the maid did not finish the laundry for the unit so we had to. The place was dirty, old, dusty, and the jacuzzi had dirt inside. The towels in the unit was stained and nasty looking. Later in the week we brought three children with us and all three came down with a cold which we believed was because the unit was filthy. They property management refused to compensate us and didn't even apologize for the circumstance. I would never ever recommend staying at this unit but the area and location is beautiful. My friends stayed at the same resort that same weekend and their condo was nice and clean as it should be. Do not stay here unless u want to go home with a virus. Waikoloa colony villas unit 806. I'll never forget it. Hilton kingsland, outrigger fairway condo, kolea, and waikoloa beach villas is our top picks for this area to vacation. Again do not stay at waikoloa colony villas unit 806.

Exactly as advertised
My husband, sister-in-law and I stayed here and were very pleased to find the unit exactly as pictured on the website. The only thing you can't see from the photos is that the carpet, although clean, is quite stained. The owners indicated they are aware of this and will be replacing it in the near future. I will agree with other comments that the bed in master BR was extremely comfortable -- way better than the Westin Heavenly bed we had the following week on Maui! We did have to contact the property manager regarding slow running showers and missing potholders, but both issues were resolved within 24 hours. All directions for getting to and into the unit were very easy to follow. It might have been helpful to have "leaving" instructions either in the welcome packet or visibly posted, as we did not think to look in the back of the provided book. Thankfully, they were not upset when we forgot to strip the beds! We would highly recommend this place!

Great place, Great location, We will be back!
This is simply a great choice for a vacation. The unit sleeps up to six people and the bed in the master bedroom is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, so much so that it was a bit of a task getting my husband up early in the morning! The pull out couch is also surprisingly comfortable. The unit is clean, tastefully decorated and the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking to help keep the restaurant bills down. The fridge has an automatic icemaker, a feature I was glad to have as ice was always available to throw into a cooler to take to the beach, or whip up some chilly Pina Coladas after a day at one of the many great beaches nearby. The lanai was a great place to eat or to relax and have some quiet down time.The master bedroom has a large walk in closet and the bathroom is nice and has double sinks. The guest bedroom is also a good size and I liked that the master bedroom was on a different level from the guest bedroom allowing for greater privacy. The unit is open plan and the lay out was great with nice high ceilings and the air conditioning was very comfortable temperature to escape the heat outside when needed. The unit is centrally located in the Waikoloa Colony Villas and for me that was ideal. The pools were a short 1-1/2 minute walk away and they were lovely. The pool was not busy, and most of the time we had the pool to ourselves which we really liked. With smoking not being permitted on the lanai’s, a smoking bench is provided directly across the parking lot of this unit, so it was very close. I noticed some smokers staying in units further away having to walk a fair distance to come to the bench so for a smoker the location of this unit is handy. There are some great beaches only a short drive away. If you want to swim with Turtles, just north of Waikoloa, Puako Beach is about 10 minutes drive, and close to that is Waialea Beach which has some great snorkling. Just a bit further is also Hapuna Beach a large sandy beach, and good for boogy boarding and surfing if the waves are up. South is Maniniowali beach, across from the Veterans Memorial Cemetery. This was one our favorite beaches, beautiful turquoise water and great boogy boarding. Waikoloa has good restaurants in varying price and same with the shops. For a special dinner out, you must not miss Lava Lava Beach Club. We did most of our food shopping at Costco in Kona and in Waikoloa Village a short drive from the resort to cut food costs. Wonderful trip, highly recommend!

Look no further
First of all, if you are looking for a place to stay on the beach, stop! It is really tricky on this lava island. The location of this property is 5 miles from 6 of the islands best beaches and we enjoyed a new experience every day. Great central location to get to all corners of the island. We have stayed in a dozen VRBO homes and this one ranks very high on the chart. Comfy and roomy with all the ammenities you need. 5 Stars!! Thanks
