Appreciated that many necessary items (soap, towels, paper towels, dish soap) were provided which is not always the case in these rental properties.
The property otherwise was as pictured and described. There was one odd communication from property manager about having a plumber come in that we responded to but then never got a response on.

We loved this condo so much, we came back this year to the same one! Love waking up to beautiful sunrises and singing birds!

Our second time wintering at “The Shores” but first time in this unit.
The unit was well stocked for our stay and after a day or so we had television, spectrum etc figured out.
The lanai got morning sun but shade in the afternoon which suited us nicely.
We had no issues while we were there and had some, but minimal, contact with our host.
We plan to return in the future.

Loved the property and the accommodations. Very clean, and lovely view of the mountains. About a 15 minute walk to the nearest beach, but there are also a number of beaches within a short driving distance. We arrived about an hour early and I contacted the host to see if we could check in a little early, and she was very accommodating. Already booked for next year!

We loved our stay here. It was clean, with such beautiful views. We woke every morning to beautiful bird calls saying hello to the sun. We ate breakfast every morning on the lanai. And the bed... It's the best sleep I've had in ages. They had everything there you could need. I hope we get to come back!

We spent a week at the Condo, and it was lovely! The home itself is in a quiet neighborhood and has been updated without losing the charm of the original unit. I can also confirm the AC has been updated and works well. It was also very clean.
They have beach towel, umbrella, chairs and cooler to use. All of which were a lifesaver!
The owners were easy to contact if needed and were in touch throughout our stay to make sure everything was ok.
The location was perfect to access the numerous beaches nearby as well as Waimea. Even the drive to the observatory and Hilo was just over an hour.
Would highly recommend!

Important features for me were the location in the Waikoloa Beach Resort area, the walking distance to the beach, and the exercise facility. It’s a well-maintained property that’s generally fairly quiet, which is important to me because I like to start my day slowly with a long session on the lanai reading and drinking coffee. This was my second visit to Shores Waikoloa (previously there in Dec 2019) and I still haven’t used the pool.

The property is simple and a straightforward 1 bedroom in the Waikoloa area.

This rental was spacious, and the lanai and shower were nice.
Having lived on the Big Island and hosting many visitors in a variety of rentals, and also visiting and renting many different places around the island, this rental does not have local flavor or any amenities to speak of (as we have found customary in other rentals here). Having arrived late Thursday night, we were a bit shocked to get up in the morning, and find there was not even any complimentary coffee in the kitchen. Other island rentals (even those much less costly) have a some touches like coffee, tea, a few basics in the kitchen, maybe some flowers on the table. There was not one local magazine or any 'Hawaii effects' at all. I would suggest that those are the little things that make a big difference, particularly if you are advertising "luxury" accommodations.
We enjoyed the location to places and activities that we enjoy in this part of the island.
Mahalo,

Nice condo and super great hostess. Location is perfect. Easy walk to the ocean, shops, restaurants. Huge lanai with table and chairs as well as loungers. We enjoyed our stay.

Onle problem was trying to get the TV in the living room to work. We contacted the manager several times who did send someone over to troubleshoot what was going on with it. We were able to get it working some of the time, but way too complicated for simply wanting to turn it on and off .

We enjoyed our stay and everything went as planned. We are retired and visit Hawaii every November. The only thing I would like to see change is a quiet time for adults only at the pool. While the rules are clear there was a lot of jumping, diving and horse play with children 2 of the 4 times were were there and it really distracts from the enjoyment of a quiet and relaxing day at the pool.

The location is perfect! Close to the airport, beaches, and Kona. The closest beach is within walking distance, but I recommend Hapuna beach nearby(~15 minute drive). The condo was clean and comfortable and the area is gorgeous with amazing plants and wildlife. There was a something new to see everyday just walking around the condo. We loved our stay!

In an age of COVID-19 this place was not well kept. All the old and cheap furniture was dusty, but particularly bad were the counter surfaces and the porcelain floors were absolutely filthy. As is Hawaiian custom, shoes come off at the door...except then ones feet instantly became dirty. Flip flops were a must (the condos use of liquid ant traps tell a tale, too). Also the elevator worked maybe 40% of the time...bad knees make walking up/down stairs annoying. No TV service til we called the property manager. We've stayed in over a dozen VRBO properties. Most are exceptional. This one is not.

Absolutely love this condo! Spacious, GREAT appliances, patio is lovely! Well equipped and felt like a better version of home! I seriously wish this was our apartment back home.
My only complaint is the hanging blinds. I hate how easily they break and come down. Other than that, everything else is fine.

Place was great. No downsides. We would have loved to be a little closer to the beach but the price was right and we were within 20 min or less of soooo many awesome beaches !!
