The condo is in a great community with a great location for beach-going, shopping, dining and sightseeing. The condo was VERY WELL stocked with everything we needed for cooking our own meals each evening. The sunsets were beautiful as well! Steve and Maryanne took good care of us. We will be back.

This is a lovely, clean, modern, comfortable condo that is only 5 minutes to the swimming pool and another 5 minutes to a white sand beach (rare on the Kona side of the island). Even the sprawling Hilton to the north of the condo development does not have a nice beach like this one. You'll have a great time here!P.S. When you look for the hideakey, note that the lockbox is on the 3rd floor where the unit is.

This was our second time staying in the Kolea neighborhood. The amenities and proximity to the beach are amazing. This unit was everything we wanted. Our family of 6 had plenty of room. The kitchen was well stocked and there were sufficient beach toys/chairs in the closet. Would come again in a heartbeat!

This was our second time staying in Kolea. This neighborhood is absolutely wonderful. The pool is lovely, warm, friendly, and calm. Easy access to the ocean for sunsets and swimming. This particular unit is on the ground floor and directly across from the pool. We were two families with three children and the living set up was great. Being right near the pool was also very nice with young kids. The kitchen was well appointed with what we needed to cook and clean. The hosts were very responsive and allowed us an early check-in.
The only downsides (to us) included 1) the bedding (polyester/synthetic sheets/comforters) and 2) cleanliness. The unit was generally clean but could use a solid deep clean and some basic maintenance (air vents, lots of dust bunnies when furniture was moved and the floors turned our feet black).
But overall, this unit is in a great location and was true to the listing. The hosts are communicative and responsive and got back to any of our questions within an hour or less. And Kolea itself is just the best.

This penthouse condo with 2 master suites was perfect for 2 adult couples. The condo was well set up and had everything we needed. Very conveniently located to everything at Waikoloa and the Kigali coast. The property management team was very helpful and responsive to any inquiries. This was our 2nd time staying in this unit and we definitely will return!

We loved staying here, it’s close to the beach and the pool and even walking distance to the shops and restaurants. It has everything you need for the beach for adults and kids, from beach chairs and umbrellas to boogie boards and sand toys. The layout was perfect and the complex is super quiet. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re on the big island. Mahalo for a wonderful stay.

We were in Hawaii for a family wedding with my son and his family. The condo was well equipped and in a good location. Everything is within walking distance. The pool area was well maintained and right next to the beach. The community is family oriented, well maintained and friendly.

Came to Kona during the Ironman competition not knowing it was happening and all the hotels were booked so went for a VRBO versus a hotel. Was bummed until I checked into the condo and experienced the private beach club! Great stay!

Beautiful condo in a well maintained and close to the beach condo complex. To address some negative reviews:
- air-conditioning works and works well, we were never uncomfortable in the condo
- no bugs in the condo, make sure you keep the door closed to prevent those getting in
- kitchen is well stocked to prepare and eat simple meals or have a take out dinner; great grill!!!! Outside sink is a nice feature. Clean and sufficient utensils and plates.
-it is well and professionally cleaned, spotless
- full stock of beach essentials in the closet
- has all imaginable necessities for comfortable stay including extra pillows, blankets, an ironing board, even a pack and play
- beds in the second bedroom are short and do wobble; fine for kids to sleep on, but i wouldn't count on an adult sleeping there; they do have a pull out couch, but we did not test it
-nice bathrooms, both with double sinks, one with walk in shower and soaking tub, second with bath/shower
-hard surface floor through out
-I would suggest putting blinds over the living room sliding door/window and over the window by the entry door; I can clearly see how some people would be quite uncomfortable due to lack of privacy.
Great experience overall, will return!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was very nice and comfortable with all that we needed for our time on the Big Island. It is in a beautiful and convenient location. The airport is nearby and shopping was easily accessible. We were there during the Ironman and a few roads were closed but not a huge factor with patience.
We will definitely consider a return to this area and condo! Thank you, Sandy for hosting us and to Dani for her communication with us.

My husband, two friends and I spent a week at Hale Hauoli and as the name suggests, we were a happy household. The condo is modern w/ tasteful Hawaiian decor, as advertised, and comfortable. We ate dinners on the lanai, and though there was no direct ocean view, it was very pleasant. The beach club is a four-minute walk away with a pretty pool, nice hot tub and steps from the beach--a decent swimming beach. I saw a good-size, happy sea turtle (honu) my last evening there right around sunset.
The sunset was gorgeous from the Lava Lava club, a 10-minute walk down the beach. The food is good there, too. Get there early (45 minutes to an hour) if you want a table on the beach.
Highly recommend Hapuna Beach up the coast - maybe a 20-minute drive. Take beach chairs. Beautiful white sand beach, nice water, a good snack bar at the Westin Hapuna Resort near the beach.
Dmitri was very responsive to all our queries (we had one issue with a propane tank that wouldn't open, but that didn't spoil our stay). Jackie, the housekeeper, was too. Great hosts.
Highly recommend.

We just returned from an unforgettable stay at this beautiful condo in Hawaii, and it was everything we could’ve hoped for! The condo was incredibly clean, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with all the essentials for a comfortable stay.
The location was perfect— a quick walk to the beach, pool, coffee and more. Plus, the condo provided everything we needed for beach days, including chairs, towels, and an umbrella!
The hosts were fantastic, answering all of our questions quickly. We truly felt welcomed and at home.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, convenient, and luxurious Hawaiian escape, this condo is the perfect choice. Can’t wait to come back and stay here again. Mahalo!

Fantastic location and perfect space for the three of us. Spacious floor plan, great outside balcony with built in bbq, table for 4, beautiful grounds and ocean view. 2 min walk to pool and beach area. Pool area had plenty of chairs, towels and the views were amazing. I would definitely stay in this location and property again. Suggestion would be to have basic spices in condo such as saLt and pepper. We entered at night and it was impossible to read the building numbers, so better written instructions are needed.

Fantastic unit in an amazing community. Was our 3rd time staying in this neighborhood. Short stroll down the beach to Lava Lava Beach Club, a fantastic feet in the sand waterfront restaurant. Next door to a Marriott hotel giving the convenience of buffet breakfasts and an amazing Luau Monday and Wednesday nights. We will definitely be back.

The condo was a real disappointment and misrepresented in the listing photos. The built in high-end microwave could not be used because the digital display did not function properly. It was replaced by a cheap counter top model. The refrigerator had broken shelves and drawers. The oven was not really useable since it smoked and the built in stove-top exhaust vent did not work. Some of the provided knives were peeling the top layer. (weird) There was no coffee, pepper or other items that are normally provided to get you settled in.
The couch and chairs in the living room were as bad as we've ever seen in a rental.
The lanai had a low-end table with five chairs,
one was nearly ripped in half. (not the ones pictured on VRBO) The view from the lanai was not good.
Bugs, bugs bugs.. there were no screens leading to the lanai so doors had to be kept closed at all times. Inside the condo we had lots and lots of brown bugs (roaches? beetles?), little centipedes, ants and even a extremely large spider. We have lived on the Big Island, never had problems controlling bugs.
Through all this Grand Welcome and VRBO were good, responsive and really tried to help us, but the problems (bugs) were too much.
We left 10 days early. Grand Welcome refunded for the days we left early and VRBO refunded their entire fee.
I would use them both again.
Kolea is a beautiful complex. Great location, close ocean access. Great pool and beach club.

We loved our ten-day visit to Kolea 16F. We have always wanted to stay in this complex, and the condo didn’t disappoint. It’s so close to A-Bay and the shops. The best running and hiking trails outside the front door. Wonderfully stocked, and Hannah was a terrific host.

beautiful and clean unit, from the inside out to the lanai. Grill worked great. The bathroom/showers also felt very clean which I appreciate the most.. Walking distance to the pool which is beautiful, peaceful and stress free if you have toddlers/infants.
We had to buy some spices and laundry detergent(sensitive kind), and cleaning wipes for the counters and small messes. Other than that, the unit was pretty equipped!

We stayed over Fall Break and had never been to the Big Island. The location of this property is PERFECT! Easy access to the beach, restaurants and shopping. The condo is very well maintained with every amenity available including beach supplies (snorkels, masks, cooler, chairs, towels etc) We highly recommend this property. You won’t be disappointed. The owner is also easily accessible for any questions. Thanks again.

We had a great rip in Robert’s condo.,I have always wanted to stay in Kolka Kai with its beautiful amenities including beach access to A Bay and close proximity to dining and shopping.

The Kolea condo was truly incredible. One of the nicest places we’ve stayed and we travel quite a bit. Very spacious which made for a comfortable experience. Grilling on the lanai was a great dinner experience. Proximity to A Bay beach was great, especially with a toddler. We definitely plan on coming back!

This was our second time to visit the big island and we decided to stay at the same condo as last year. This is a great place to stay and has everything we need. The condo has two nice bedrooms with large bathrooms, a nice size living room and great kitchen. It is very clean inside the condo and it is an amazingly beautiful landscaped resort and is quiet. The Lanai is my favorite as we spent every morning and evening listening to the birds and overseeing the beautiful trees and landscaping. We cooked outside a few times on the grill as well.
We will be back at some point and most likely will stay in the same condo as it is such a nice place to go home to after a long day of hiking and exploring the island. Also, conveniently located within walking distance to some nice shops and restaurants. Definitely a great place to stay!
Thanks,
Steven

Property is located in a great location. No shower curtains only to discover them in the washer and note found on shelf (which I couldn't see due to height) things in washer. Not enough time to finish laundry. suggestion would be to take to laundromat. Also bathroom rug seems very dirty.
Other than these few items, we enjoyed the property, convenience of location. There was no binder to be found according to letter on desk by dining room. Did not know how to contact anyone if we had questions or notification we left early so cleaners could come.
Thank you!

We had an incredible weeklong stay at the Hula Moon Villa. The check-in process was incredibly easy, the condo is immaculately maintained, beds are super comfortable, and the owners have provided all the amenities you could need! The kitchen is well stocked, beach towels are provided, and all kinds of beach equipment is available for use, including chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment, etc.
The location is also fantastic. So much is within walking distance - < 5 min walk to incredible A-bay beach, 5 min walk to the Marriott, 7 min walk down the beach to Lava Lava Beach club. The Hilton, Kings' Shops, and Queens' Marketplace are all between 10 - 15 mins walking. So convenient!
Highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.

We had 9 people total in our extended family trip. We ended up staying 4 nights on the big island. Half of our group already had a condo at Koleo, so I searched high and low to find a second condo in the same complex for the rest of us. Luckily, Vrbo had several choices. Great location, and a great unit. We were confortable, and our host thought of some great touches, like extra towels and a cooler for the beach. They were also very responsive. One suggestion - have twin beds in the 2nd bedroom. It would be tight, but more flexible for different guest configuration.

My husband, two children (ages 3 years old and 9 months) really enjoyed our stay at Kolea 6D earlier this month. The condo was beautifully decorated and looked even nicer in person. We loved the indoor/outdoor living space. It is about a 3-minute walk to the pool and a 7-minute walk to closest point in A-Bay.
Wendee graciously provided us with a pack-n-play for my son based on my request before arriving. It didn't have a sheet unfortunately, but we found a sheet in one of the cabinets in the laundry room on our last day, of course.
The only issue we had was (1) the internet wasn't working (it turned out to be unplugged, but that was an easy fix once I identified the problem), and (2) my daughter caught a bug and vomited was she was taking a nap; we had difficulty finding extra sheets. Although there was a linen closet with extra sheets, the extra sheets for her room was actually in one of the drawers in her room and not in the linen closet.
Anyway, overall, we had a wonderful time here. We recommend staying here!
