Best vacation ever. So quiet and convenient and beautiful. The VRBO pictures do not do it justice, especially the Bay Area.

Location was amazing and very secure. Great access to the beach and pool. The host was very accessible for any questions

The location of this property is excellent, a fee steps from the beach club and beach. Can walk to shops. Spacious rooms, well-outfitted kitchen, awesome lanai/outdoor kitchen with grill. Hate to leave.

This is an amazing condo. Located super close to the beach and pool. Everything is within walking distance including the grocery store, restaurants, and shops. It is fully stocked and has all the beach items needed to enjoy countless days at the beach. Plenty of boogie boards, beach chairs, towels, and snorkel gear. We would definitely stay here again. Shawn made the process easy and was very accommodating!!

This condo is in the Kolea gated community in the larger Waikoloa Beach Resort. The resort has the King's and Queen's Marketplaces (5-15 min walk) with many shops, restaurants, and the Island Gourmet grocery store (at Queen's). Very convenient and pricey. The deli area inside offers a huge variety of take-out food for a nice alternative to dining out, though we experienced a long wait for dinner one day. A larger and cheaper grocery store can be found at KTA in Waikoloa Village, 15-min drive away. The Kolea Beach Club (3-min walk away) has main pool, sand-bottom kids pool, hot tub, fitnessand lounge areas, and a kitchen. Towels provided (use at club only) and morning coffee. Our kids loved the pool and walked there on their own. There's a gate from the club 1-min to the beach at "A Bay" and shower to rinse off. Very small waves, easy and safe to swim. Beautiful shoreline to explore, especially at sunset. Our host sent detailed check-in instructions. We arrived 90 min after check-in time and were surprised to find the cleaners still working. They let us store our food and luggage, and we went to the pool until they were done. We were notified there's an extra air bed if needed. What we didn't realize is that the listed sofa sleeper had been replaced with a big leather sectional, so turned out we did need it. It was large, self-inflating, and good quality, but we had to move furniture, deflate and store each day (too big to leave up). All the actual beds were really comfortable. Kitchen had all we needed (though we had a mixup with types of coffee filters and a manual that didn't match the machine). The induction stove top controls can be finicky. Large master bath with huge bathtub and shower. The lanai (back patio) was nice area with grill, with sliding doors that can tuck away. Unfortunately, we all experienced some mosquito bites, so we kept it closed. Closet packed full of beach toys, in various states of repair: many boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach chairs, mats + sand toys. We enjoyed it all at Hapuna Beach to boogie board, and Mauna Lani to snorkel. Beach towels as well. The host was responsive and friendly. Check out instructions said to do all but one load of laundry before we left, which was tough with an early flight and dryer slow to dry towels. In all, a great time with a few bumps along the way and would stay there again. Recommend the host clarify the sofa/air bed and laundry set expectations aware ahead of time. Mahalo!

Beautiful and clean place to stay. Location is amaazing.

Unit is easy walk to beach and pool. Restaurants close if you don't want to cook. Wonderful kitchen if you like to cook. AC cools the entire unit and in unit washer and dryer is a great plus. If you scuba dive your less than 1/2 hour drive to the harbor. Then there's Shawn....what an absolute great person. We needed a last minute rental and he did everything to help us get into the unit asap.

This condo was absolutely perfect for two couples. It had a very well equipped large kitchen and also an outdoor kitchen which was great for barbecuing in the evening. The pool area is absolutely stunning and the grounds are beautiful! Shawn the host, couldn’t have been any more helpful , he was wonderful. Wie’ll definitely be back!

Shawn took amazing care of us remotely! Everything was just as advertised. The location is amazing.

Nothing but good things to say about this stay! Short walk to the pool and beach were huge for us. Condo was very spacious and clean with everything that we needed. Grounds were quiet and peaceful. Appreciate the good communication too!

This was our first time staying at Kolea on the Big Island and the location was perfect for our small family. The condo was well appointed - kitchen was well stocked and a closet of beach toys to use. The owners were super responsive and great to communicate with. We had a small issue with some things that were missed by the cleaners during our visit, but Shawn responded immediately to resolve and rectify. We really couldn’t have asked for more. Overall, a great experience! Would definitely recommend.

The condo was nicely laid out and provisioned with all the amenities we could want plus many we didn't have time to use. Access to the pool and exercise equipment as well as easy walking to the beach and dining.
