Great place! Has everything you need!

Wow! One of the nicest vacation rentals I've stayed in. The attention to detail is great, from the fully stocked kitchen (silverware, pots/pans, dishes), beach towels and 2 chairs, TVs in every room, and washer/dryer. Ideal for a group of three or two couples, this spacious home was standout. The expansive lanai was my favorite with beautiful views of the golf course and was the perfect place for morning coffee. The property is in a quiet community with a clean pool, and is close to the massive Hilton resort which we explored a bit, but looks like you need a day pass for the Hilton pools. Although there were tiny ants in the kitchen this was the only minor negative because the overall quality and cleanliness of the place was outstanding. Parking right in front followed by a flight of stairs up to the private entrance. I would gladly return to the Big Island just to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at The Shores at Waikoloa, Bo Tree Tower, Unit 138, The condo was very well-cleaned, nicely furnished and well-stocked, with useful provisions such as beach equipment. The plant life around the unit provides some privacy, despite this being a ground floor location. The management company, Vacasa, were very helpful in their communications and did well to make the property very welcoming and the check-in/check out process very simple. The grounds at The Shores are very well-maintained, with updated amenities like the pool, hot-tub and gym. The Location also provides easy access to the beach and scenic walking trails as well as a large variety of shops and restaurants I highly recommend this location to vacationers visiting this area.

We have family on the Big Island and always stay at Waikoloa Shores when we visit! This unit was perfect! It was just the two of us, so this one bedroom was beautiful and plenty spacious, even when family came to visit! It is beautifully decorated, fully equipped, and had a lovely, spacious lanai. Highly recommend it!

The condo had an awesome view! We watched the sunrise every morning and the moon at night! It was conveniently located, close to the shops and beaches. Modern design, thoughtful features. Everything worked, air conditioning, doors, showers, toilets and the internet. The kitchen was well equipped. Parking was on site with no problems.

This property is located in a great resort village with easy access to shopping, restaurants, beaches, golfing and many other amenities. Most everything is within easy walking distance, and there are many paved pathways in the area. This is a super location for exploring the big island's many resources and is close to the airport and Kona. The condo was very clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The lanai was a perfect place to enjoy a cup of Kona coffee in the morning, with a nice breeze and colorful variety of visiting birds in the large tree adjacent. We would love to return!

We celebrated our 40th anniversary in Hawaii and Villa One was everything we were looking for and more. Villa One is a great luxury space for 2 couples. The two master suites were perfect. The location, decor and amenities were outstanding. We enjoyed breakfasts and evening drinks on the great lanai. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We also appreciated that beach items were available such as beach umbrellas, chairs and coolers. We will definitely recommend Villa One to our friends and family. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful condo. It is clear that the owners take great pride in their place. I love condos that don't feel like a tunnel with a window at the end. This place has lots of glass, angles and light, the floors are beautiful, the king bed very comfortable and the kitchen fully equipped. There is also a great breeze by opening the windows at night. No A/C needed when we were there in July. It was also walking distance to the shoreline where there is a nice path along the rocky beach with beautiful vistas. Highly recommend!

Great location overlooking the 3rd hole of the Beach Golf course with views of the sunset and ocean. The outside lanai was amazing and the condo was very spacious. I would definitely recommend staying here!

The location was perfect. The unit was well maintained and clean. Lanai faces the golf course with views of the ocean. Shops and beaches are within walking distance. Has all the beach gear you could need. The gated community has a very nice pool, fitness center and tennis courts. Very quiet and great for a family vacation!

We had an absolutely amazing vacation at Villa One. Talk about a home away from home! This luxury villa is tastefully decorated with beautiful art and had everything we needed to make our stay as relaxing as possible. Two master bedrooms ensured we all had our privacy and comfort. The large living and dining rooms were perfect for dinners and board games at night. The kitchen was stocked with everything you might need, including spices and oils. The lanai area was perfect for watching the sunset or just catching a glimpse of the ocean. The location is just right—within walking distance to Kings' and Queens' Shops, Hilton, and Marriott. Tropics Ale House is right across the road, and they, hands down, have the best happy hour mai tais. The host, Richard, was excellent. Booking online was very easy and straightforward, with no surprises. Richard was attentive, resourceful, and extremely responsive during our stay. The villa has a book with every activity and restaurant you might want to visit on the island. Ask Richard for suggestions ahead if you want to plan something (like I do). We’ve been to the Big Island many times, and I thought we’d done it all, yet we got so many great suggestions from Richard that were new to us. I will definitely consider Villa One for our next visit to the Big Island and would recommend it to all our friends. Mahalo, Richard, for opening your beautiful Hawaiian home to us—we had a fantastic time!

We would absolutely stay here again. The location was convenient, it was beautiful inside with impeccable style, comfortable furniture including the bed, lots of closet space with a nice bureau as well. The outdoor patio was our favorite place to hang out. You can see the sunset between the other condo units - you still need a beach to get the full glory of a Hawaii sunset. But when we were tired from a day of family time, being able to watch it from our own patio was such a gift! The only thing that would make this place better is an ocean view. We would absolutely stay here again. Can't say enough about how relaxing the patio is and how inviting the home is - it really did feel like we came "home" at the end of each day.

My husband and I ended our vacation in this quiet 1 room condo after a hectic vacation with our daughter’s family. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the place. We so appreciated the local snacks and equipment for our few days on the beach snorkeling. Including chairs, masks, towels and toys if we would have wanted. The pool was warm, and the hot tub was even hot enough for me! The only complaint is we could not get TV in living room to work, but just used the one in the bedroom. The kitchen actually had a few needs like oil, sugar, and syrup. The choice of a pod or grounds coffee maker was also nice. Thank you!

An A+. The spacious condo met our needs; the lanai was constantly saturated with cool breezes. The kitchen and rooms are well-equipped. All worked well. The keypad on front door (no keys! yeah!) is great. a few comments, none of which reduce the A+ or the 5 star review: When we arrived, the place was a bit musty. The carpet has been there a while, and most likely the culprit. Suggest replace carpet with some type of wood flooring? The master bedroom could use a proper mattress topper, rather than the foam one, which was a bit bouncy. Maybe some instructions on how to simply log on to Netflix and Hulu--the accts seem to be tied to the owner and take some gyrations and patience to log into. How can it be streamlined? Again, no deal breakers there. Would definitely love to stay in the same place if given the chance.

The property was great. Quiet complex and the amenities were perfect. It made daily trips to the beach easy. Kerrie was easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. We will definitely be back. Thanks again Kerrie!

We loved the large outdoor space and the location near the pool. The glass and mirrors were spotless. The kitchen could use a deep clean --backsplash, faucet, light switches, and musty cabinets with nasty shelf liner. We had a great time and will return to Kona next year.

I have stayed at The Shores more than once, the first time 18 years ago. My complaints regard burnt out bulbs in the bathroom, extremely low wattage in remaining bulbs. The unit has obviously been well used, stained carpet. My major complaint is the work being done on the tile in the walkways. The tile had been removed and it did not feel very safe to be walking from the elevator to the unit According to the email that i had received, the work should have been ongoing and almost, if not completely finished by the time i left. The workers were there one day during my stay. The same goes for the workout room. Extra days required. In spite of this there was no adjustment to my bill. I should have at leadt been offered a different unit so that i did not have to deal with the tileless walkway. I'm 70 years old and did mot appreciate the difficulty dealing with the second floor lack of tile.

We have stayed in the Waikoloa Beach condos many times and this condo is very clean and well kept also stocked with all your necessary items that are not always common. ie: foil, Saran Wrap, paper towels, salt & pepper along with all the kitchen items you would want. There is no island view persay but we weren't in the condo much. We would definitely stay there again.
