Kolea is an absolute paradise on the Big Island. An enclave of custom condos right on A-Bay with amazing pool views and a short 3-5 min walk til your toes hit the sand.
The condo is well maintained and stocked with kitchen necessities and beach outing essentials— chairs, towels, umbrella, sand toys, etc.
Communication with the property manager was timely and succinct.
Looking forward to our next stay!

This property was ideally located - easy access to beach and pool/fitness center and walking distance to King’s Shops with restaurants/shopping. This was a perfect home base for various island excursions and very convenient to access the Lavaman Triathlon course. The home is clean, comfortable and very well appointed. Appreciated the beach chairs & snorkel equipment! Would stay here again if returning to the Big Island - thank you, Dimitri!

The unit was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the location as it is a just a short walk to the beach and the shops at Waikoloa Beach Resort. Dmitri was wonderful and we would definitely return again in the future.

Kolea 15G is situated in an amazing location within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. The Condo is very luxurious and comes equipped with island necessities such as beach chairs, coolers, and toys. The kitchen is stocked very well for all of your meals, and all beds are extremely comfortable. The lanai is perfect for morning coffee and grilling delicious dinners.
We thoroughly enjoyed the infinity pool with ocean views and the private beach access.
Dmitri is great to deal with, he is prompt on his replies and is happy to address any questions you may have.
Our family is already looking at when we can come back!!

We were traveling with friends and it was our first time to the Big Island! The condo was so great and the beds were comfortable. There was plenty of towels, beach equipment, laundry detergent, dish soap etc for our stay which we really appreciated. (The kitchen could use a garlic press, carrot peeler and a few more stemmed wine glasses).
Having the lanai with our own BBQ was a total bonus and we used it every night. D’Mitrie was very accommodating and easy to deal with! We will be back!

Great place. Close to everything you need stores restaurants beach and pool. With all the amenities it’s a quiet laid back neighborhood. We were in town for a family wedding down the road and this place was perfect for us.

Property fit the bill for two couples looking for relaxing visit to Big Island. Thoughtfully landscaped community, good options for both pool and beach, walking distance to Lava Lava Beach Club, short drive to market/dining/shopping. We visited the next-door Hilton for a luau (enjoyed), which reinforced our decision to stay at the more peaceful VRBO. The provided beach equipment supported our excursions to other beaches as well-- but really no need to go elsewhere.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property. The condo was beautiful and spacious and had all the amenities you could possibly need. Wonderful pool and beach just a short walk away from the building location. Many shops and restaurants just down the road. Easily walkable location. It was hard to want to leave. We will be back!

We stayed for a week at Dmitri's with our two adult children. The accommodations were clean and had many nice items to use at the beach including a cooler, mats, mask/snorkel. etc. Nice beaches nearby to swim and snorkel at. The beach access is close and beaches are good for swimming, etc. I would recommend walking south for a little more privacy and good snorkeling. Dmitri was communicative and check-in check out was very easy and convenient. The pool at the beach club was also very nice and not busy. Overall had a very relaxing stay. Much nicer than larger resorts.
Brian S.
August 2023
The condo and the facility were first rate.
The only suggestion that I would make to the owners is to provide a map to the building. We actually had to get out and walk around to find the building itself. The signs in the complex are incomplete/unclear.
Other than that I highly recommend this condo. I have stayed many times in Waikoloa village and this condo was absolutely THE BEST.

When deciding to book this condo, we wondered how close is it really to the pool and beach? The answer is very close. It's a short walk through a parking lot and across a mellow street. From the condo, there is no view of the water, but it's easy to go and enjoy the scenery at the Beach Club and beach. The pool is an extremely pleasant spot to hang out, especially in the early evening. Property was clean and we enjoyed barbecuing on the lanai. The only suggestion I'd make is for there to be a screen or shading of some kind on the big patio doors/windows since there is a foldout bed right there so clearly sometimes someone will be sleeping there. Overall, this rental is a great choice if you are looking for something lower key than a full-fledged resort, but still want to enjoy some luxury.

Excellent property for our family. We got locked out of the condo without the key code to get back in. Luckily the pool staff had Dmitry’s number and we used my son’s cell phone to call Dmitry. Dmitry saved the day and got us back in the condo!!

First off, Dmitri is an excellent communicator and made everything perfect and no surprises.
The condo is spacious and well appointed. The bed is heavenly and we slept well.
Their pool and beach are a very easy walk. The location is really good for shopping and restaurants within a few minutes by car.
We would definitely rent this unit again in the future.

We stayed in this condo in June and absolutely loved it. Very clean. It's location in the Waikoloa area is fantastic. A short walk past beautiful landscaping leads you to the magnificent pool and hot tub. Pool water temp was perfect and the setting was great. You can sit in the pool and see the beach and bay. A short walk from the pool area puts you on the beach. Water was normally very calm and we saw turtles in the water every day. We even saw one on the beach one evening. Condo is also walkable distance to the Kings and Queen's shopping areas where there are shops, restaurants, and a market that has pre-made and made-to-order food. Prices are good and we ate there a lot. This is one of the nicest 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condos I've ever stayed in and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

What’s left to be said? We could not have been happier with our stay at this condo. What a beautiful spot with easy, walkable access to just about any amenity and activity we wanted. Such a well-appointed space, too. A truly fantastic kitchen with sharp knives and proper espresso machine. Beautiful pool and view of A-bay, along with evening glow of Mauna Loa over the hot tub!
The only minor suggestions we can think of is a privacy screen for the living room door/window and perhaps shampoo/conditioner for the bathrooms. Dmitri’s communication was excellent, including a prompt heads up regarding the eruption when it occurred while we were there.
Hope we have the opportunity to stay again!

Everything you'll need for a great stay on the Big Island - a high-end, very well-stocked unit within 20 minutes of the airport in a great development. Pool and beach is a 2 minute walk and Waikoloa Beach has restaurants, shopping and central access to all parts of the Island. We couldn't be happier with the unit's amenities, finishes and location and we would highly recommend this property.

Came with my family for the Lavaman Triathlon which also overlapped with my kids' spring break, and this was the PERFECT rental. Walking distance to race start/finish on the beach, great family pool and facilities, and a well equipped rental. Comfy beds, easy to cook for my family of 4, and my kids loved the open space in front of the rental - was very safe, my 3 year old wasn't able to run into any roads, etc. Would definitely rent again.

Dmitri’s place was great on so many levels. From a location standpoint it’s incredibly convenient to walk (2-3 min) to the beachclub/pool as well as the beach itself. The King and Queen restaurant/shops at Waikola are also a short drive away as well. The unit itself is well kept and has everything you need for cooking and pool/beach activities. We appreciated how quiet and private the space felt. The lanai and lawn made the unit feel even bigger. Dmitri was a great host and was easy to communicate with. We have no doubt that we will be coming back to stay at his place when we visit the Big Island again!

We had a great stay at 15G. The unit had everything we needed. Beach stuff, several items in the kitchen - spices, olive oil, salad dressings and someone had even left a few beers! The host, Dmitri, was quick to respond and checked on us. Don’t hesitate staying here if you are looking for a quiet place, close to the beach club and great host.

the condo provided a convenient and nice space in the Kona coast area. We appreciated the ample Tupperware and freezer blocks and misc items in the kitchen that helped with storing food. Master bathroom was large and the kitchen and great room worked well. Easy 5 minute walk to the beach, tho no view from the condo on the main floor (would have a view in the condos above). We had a couple of questions and received quick and helpful responses.

We had a wonderful stay at Kolea 15G! Everything was beyond expectation. Hosts Dmitri and Larissa were communicative throughout the process and have gone the extra lengths to make their condo welcoming and comfortable. We've stayed at various condos on all the islands and Kolea has by far been our favorite!
The kitchen was perfectly appointed with great kitchen tools and gadgets - everything we needed to make the vast majority of our meals "at home". The unit's dedicated grill was probably one of the best features - we've never experienced that staying in condos on any of the islands!
The bed was incredibly comfortable and each night, we all slept wonderfully.
Having a toddler with us, we were especially grateful for the awesome beach toys in the closet that we were able to use - buckets and shovels a-plenty! Our little guy also loved being able to extend his play area onto the grassy lawn outside the unit, while mom and dad enjoyed a beverage on the table.
Of course, the location can't be beat! It's an easy and fun five minute walk to stunning Anaeho'omalu Bay along the ancient fish ponds. If you extend your walk a little further, you walk past interesting archaeological sites.
Again, having a little with us, the pools were great! We loved the sandy-bottom kiddie pool, infinity pool, and hot tub.
I just can't say enough great things about this place. We'd love to come back!
Thank you for everything!

The two bedroom house is amazingly spacious, and a great floor plan with bedrooms at separate ends (great if you need to make one room a place to work). The bathrooms are huge.
- Check-in is easy, with a numeric keypad at the front door
- In the community, it’s one of the homes closest to the Beach Club. The Club is a short walk down the driveway, and has a great pool, chairs and umbrellas. People were very friendly.
- Beds were super comfy.
- Closets were stocked with any beach gear you could need.
- Grocery store is within walking distance.
- The three-pane patio door tucks away for indoor/outdoor living.
- The lanai was great for breakfast and afternoon working.

This vacation and VRBO stay exceeded our expectations. Not only was house very clean and welcoming, it was all the little things that Dmitri and his family provided for us that help to ensure a wonderful vacation. Having access to beach chairs, snorkel gear, towels, sun screen etc meant that all the little things were provided which allowed us more time to focus on our vacation. We also loved the location which made access to the beach, the markets and the pool very easy. Lastly with Covid, it was very nice to have our own kitchen. Since many of the restaurants still have limited seating capacity, it can be difficult to get reservations in the area. This property also kept us away from the crowded pools at the hotel which was another bonus.
We had no complaints with our stay and with Dmitri’s excellent communication before and during our stay, I would highly recommend this property. Enjoy!

The condo at Kolea was a great home-base for our week on the Big Island. We were there to get married, and having the extra room in the condo helped us stay organised. The condo was spacious and we liked being on the ground floor, making it easier for our friends staying in Kolea to come visit. The kitchen was great and the grill was used often! Definitely recommend the condo, and Kolea as a whole.

This unit is great! The complex it is in is fantastic - especially the pool, exercise area and quick access to the beach. The unit is great and well stocked. Our hosts were great as well. If you are looking to stay - especially with kids - in Waikoloa - this is the place for you.

My husband, 1 year old daughter, parents, and I stayed in Dmitri and Larissa's unit for a week...we had a fantastic time! The condo is clean and well kept and there's lots of beach toys and beach equipment that's there for guests to use. We enjoyed the beach club access and the beach was quite lovely. We found the location to be perfect and very convenient! Dmitri was great at responding to emails and easy to work with! He even sent a list of things that we could do with our Little One while on the Island...so thoughtful! It was a perfect family vacation! Thank you!!!!

We loved our two week stay at unit 15G in Kolea. The condo was nicely furnished and was very clean. Excellent lania with private BBQ where we spent every evening preparing dinner. The unit is set in the back corner of he complex making it seem much more private than some of the other units we have stayed at in Kolea. Owners were very quick to respond to our initial rental request and even accommodated an early check in which was fantastic. We will definitely come back to this unit again and would highly recommend it to anyone entertaining the idea of staying here.

We absolutely loved the location and amenities of this condo! Beautiful grounds, location to beach, shopping, etc. Very comfortable beds, lovely kitchen, boogie boards and snorkeling supplies...you will not be disappointed! We hope to return! This was our first time to the Big Island and we loved it. We spent two days in Oahu - only because our teenage son wanted to see Pearl Harbor (we had already been there)...wish we would have stayed here at this condo longer! We really liked the quietness of the Big Island.

Spent a week, and we wished it was more. Condo is everything advertised, well maintained and quiet. While you don't have an ocean view, I've had the walk farther in fancy hotels to get to the beach, and paid 2x as much. The WiFi worked great as there were 3 of us needing to do work at various times, and never had an issue. Will definitely consider this for future vacations.
Kathleen B.

The condo is beautiful and spacious, with everything we needed. The lanai is cozy and includes a grill. The beach, within walking distance is a bit rocky and the water somewhat cloudy/murky, so not ideal for snorkeling or swimming. The pool is beautiful (although unheated so chilly in December), and the jacuzzi is wonderful! The condo is not far from the Kona airport and is also within a few minutes' drive of Hapuna or Mauna Kea beach, both of which are beautiful. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

My family consisting of five persons had a really excellent time staying in the apartment! The rooms are large and quiet and neat! The location is very good, walking distance from the beautiful beach. The swimming pool is very beautiful and when you swim, you can also see the mountain view many miles away. The owner is very thoughtful and we followed the tips to do groceries shopping at the Walmart. Driving from the house to the airport, the famous sites are all very convenient! Really like this place, thanks a lot again! Five stars for sure!
