Wonderful condo. Wonderful location. Excellent access to beach club, nearby hotels.

We have been to the big island several times. Waikoloa is definitely our favorite area. The entire resort area itself is beautiful with several nearby sandy beaches and calm water. Our unit at the Vista Waikoloa was exactly what we wanted, up to date, roomy, a short walk to beautiful ABay and to the shopping centers and restaurants, a warm pool and 2 hot tubs, and very few people. I don't see how anyone could be disappointed. The hosts were very responsive, each time getting back to us within a few minutes. Definitely a 5 star place all around, down to the beds and linens!

So we have stayed in Waikoloa Beach area several times over the last 4 years. All locations we have stayed at have been nice and convenient for shops, beach, eating etc, the whole area is beautiful!
This condo had great sunset, water, and golf courses views!
The only draw back was that it sits near a small intersection(stop sign). So sleeping with the doors/windows open you would hear cars every once in a while. It’s only a 25 mph road and a stop sign.
The restaurant Tropics Ale House was about a 3-5 minute walk from the front door of the condo, the food and service was amazing! We ate here for convenience several times! But there are several other great restaurants we ate at in the community and they were all very good also!
Someone in another comment said there was no elevator, which is funny because it was literally straight out from the front door only 12 steps away, I counted them, lol. We only used it for moving in and out.
This unit has one of the best parting spots in the area, in the shade under a tree and right next to the sidewalk to the stairs!
The actual ocean is maybe a 7-10 minute walk. Down the stairs, out the condo community gate, walk to the intersection, cross the street walk about a block and down the trail through the fish ponds and you are at the ocean. You can see the path from the lanai of this unit. We raced down there one evening with only about 5 mins before sunset and got to waters edge just after it had set, was still amazing!
Thank you!

This lovely, spacious, property was well described and written up. We had plenty of space as we made our decision to stay in a vrbo as opposed to a hotel. It is a quiet community. Super relaxing pace. Golf courses nearby traveled in a wheelchair and rollator. The apartment suited my needs very well. We enjoyed cooking a few meals in the ample kitchen.The wrap around deck was lovely and overlooked a fabulous pool and hot tubs. Well-situated locale 35 minutes north of Kona. Plentiful restaurant choices and shopping nearby.

We have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. Location was great - loved the beach and pool as well as the natural ponds. Loved having access to golf and the Hilton. Everything you need is right there- restaurants, groceries and shopping. The condo was perfect. Nice size, well maintained and had everything you needed.

We absolutely loved our stay. The condo was fabulous. Vista Waikoloa is a great property in a wonderful location. The condo was very comfortable, updated with everything we needed to enjoy our week there. The pool was lovely! We will definitely be returning.

The location of the property is wonderful. It has a spectacular view of the mountains for a sunrise and a quick walk to the beach for a sunset. The condo was stocked with everything to make us feel like we were at home. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Enjoyed our stay very much. Visited family and friends while on island and this was a great spot between Kona and Waimea so it was perfect. The place was clean and had what we needed. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was good, enjoyed being on the ground floor. (Did not want stairs even if it offered better views, we’re older and don’t need the challenge. Haha) The property owner and the owners were very pleasant and responsive and great to work with.

Wonderful property….first time visiting the Big Island and the location was very walkable in all directions. Close to the beach, restaurants, bars and shopping center. Quiet and beautiful view of golf course. Would definitely recommend 💕

We had the most incredible stay in Waikoloa Beach. The property was beautifully appointed, spacious and the outside area was perfect for breakfast and a cup of coffee before starting the day. Walking distance to a stunning beach with sea turtles and a great base for exploring all over the island. Would 100% recommend and return!

The view from the balcony of the ocean and trees goes well with morning coffee. Conveniently located near the pool but no noise. I particularly want the make mention of the South Kohala Management team who supports you during your stay. They absolutely make the difference between a nice stay and a memorable rental.

After staying in a Vista Waikoloa property nearly 10 years ago, we felt comfortable staying in this area again. D101 was a wonderful home-base for our family trip. Furnishings were clean and comfortable and made us feel at home. The pool is possibly the family favorite for any place we have stayed.
We love the location for moving up and down the Kona side of the island, but it worked well for our trip to Hilo too. Vista Waikoloa is close to multiple beaches, shops, a gas station, and vacation activities.
Our only disappointment on the trip was the lack of great food in the area. This was solved with a trip to Costco for food supplies...our favorite meals were cooked at the condo or on the community grills (very nice) at the complex.
Would gladly stay in D101 again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Vista Waikoloa! The condo is very spacious and nicely decorated. There was plenty of beach gear, including chairs and coolers. Easy access to the beach and quite a few restaurants/stores if you don’t feel like driving.

The condo is beautiful, well equipped and is in a great location. The lanai is huge, a great place for dining or lounging and enjoying the ocean view. Inside, the condo is spacious, has everything you need (in the kitchen, laundry, bathrooms), and beautifully decorated in Hawaiian style. For fun, there is everything you need for a great day at the beach - towels, chairs, umbrellas, coolers and snorkeling gear. The location is a short walk from the beach and shops and restaurants, and the complex itself includes a lap pool and a fitness center. Finally, the owners couldn't have been made things easier or been more helpful - sharing favorite places to eat, helping us with where we could rent stand up paddle boards, and more. We loved this place and will definitely be back.

This is the second stay I’ve made at this complex. The unit was very clean and well stocked with anything you’d need for cooking at home or for the beach. Beautifully furnished and the beds are comfortable. Not that you’d need a pool, but it’s nice, too. Close enough to walk to many shops and restaurants.

NEVER AGAIN FROM THIS PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO. Overall, the physical aspects of this home are pretty good. However, the property management is not so nice. They sent me an email saying I can extend my check out from 10AM to 2PM. A day later, I asked for this option, they told me they cannot grant it because I was 2.5 hours beyond the optional cut off time. Apparently I had until 4PM to take up their optional extended check-out. I contacted them at about 6:40PM. This cut off time was not stated anywhere within the email they sent me. I had 3 children with me and it was difficult for me to get them out sooner. I nearly begged them to help out and honor the option that they sent me. They declined me multiple times. Luckily there was a heartfelt, lovely neighbor that I met and he welcomed us in his home to hang out for a few hours. The worst part about this is that we left the neighbors house around 1PM and noticed that the cleaning crew for our rental was still not there. They could have been human and kind to honor their optional extended check-out but instead they were rude about this. Now I know why this listing is not a Super Host. You should rent directly from the owners or a property management company that has compassion for humans and does not put their business operations above simple requests that THEY offer.

We visited for a wedding, with friends staying at the Hilton and other close by condos. This unit was central to our friends, and the room was larger than expected and had everything we expected. We didn't see that the slider had to be securely closed for the air conditioning to work. we closed but sensor show open if the sliding door isn't firmly pushed closed. Enjoyed having the pool, and work out facility and having the ability to cook meals at where we were staying.

We loved our 3 day stay at this property. It had lots of beach accessories and this property was clean and modern. We didn't have time to use the pool or gym, but would definitely book this property again next.

Other family members stayed in different units and they all envied our unit the above stated reasons. It was perfect and the hosts were friendly and very accommodating

Overall, this was a condo that had the whole family saying WOW!! Really a gorgeous condo with all that you may need for your stay. It included pool/beach towels, laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, trash bags, plastic and glass containers, beautiful new appliances and furniture, lovely paintings and art, lovely outdoor lanai’s. So much I can not type it all but close to shops and restaurants and groceries. Bringing flash lights can be helpful for walking out sun safe area. I wish they provided coffee filters though. Pans were scratched up but that is to be expected I guess. Overall a fantastic experience!

Sylvia’s Vista Waikoloa was amazing. Having two primary rooms with attached bathrooms was so convenient for my husband and I and our adult son. The beds were super comfortable. Everything in the condo is high quality from the bedding to the towels to the decor. Would highly recommend and will stay again. The location can’t be beat.

Very nice and clean. All the kitchen and beach amenities you could want. Laundry in condo. Lovely lanai. Perfect for 2 people or family with younger kids (second bedroom is not a fully separate room). Short walk to a great beach and short drive to many great beaches. Wonderful!

From the time we entered the front gates, everything was very well maintained. The renovations made are top notch and every amenity one would want or need is provided. I cannot express the attention to detail that was achieved in making this a wonderful vacation rental. Even though the unit faces the pool, the complex is very quiet. If traveling to the Big Island, we would definitely stay again in this unit.
