Large and well stocked unit! Clean and quiet location. You can see Mauna Loa from the lanai. Everything is in great condition. Tip: check what is already in the cupboards and drawers before hitting Costco/Stores you might save some money :)

Overall everything was great, would absolutely stay here again. Great location, everything was clean, full kitchen for those who like to cook, access to grill, lots of beach accessories, fast internet. Only tiny nit would be the showers need a little TLC but that's about it.

It was exactly as expected, perfect! The Hilton water pass was what we needed, and the condo was fully stocked with everything you need for a Hawaiian vacation! Layout was nice, roomy, next to pool; like I said perfect! I was able to cook a Thanksgiving dinner with all the kitchen supplies!

Nice size condo in a quiet complex. Very clean, well stocked kitchen. Has beach chairs, umbrellas and beach toys. Walkable to amenities in this area. Host gave very detailed instructions. Check in process very smooth.
I would rate it as a 4.75 as there are a couple of maintenance items that if addressed would greatly improve experience.
Both downstairs and upstairs shower heads are partially plugged and sputter a very low volume of water. The Downstairs bath only sends a small amount of the water up to the shower. I felt guilty wasting this water, but it took time to get soap out of hair. We are low impact folks, prefer ceiling fans to AC. The ceiling fans in bedrooms are very loud. Just need to be balanced.

This was our 4th time to the big island but our first to the Waikoloa resort area. This location was perfect for what we did on this 2 week trip. Everything in the kitchen was great with the exception of the toaster as it was only half working.

We enjoyed staying again at this beautiful villa. Views from lanai and master bedroom are stunning...what a way to wake up in paradise! Completely furnished kitchen and many amenities like chairs/umbrella/cooler/boogie boards for nearby beaches. Pools in complex are in a picturesque setting and close by. All in all a wonderful villa. Great stay!

We stayed at Andy and Valery's place for a short November break and anything we say about the place is just not enough to do it justice.
First of all, the location: while it's not in the thick of the tourist promenade, that is actually an advantage. It's quiet, close to beautiful beaches that are less crowded than those south of Kona, a short walk from the shoreline by Hilton, a perfect spot to enjoy the sunset. The most beautiful beaches are within a short driving distance.
The house itself is a luxurious place, tastefully decorated and so well appointed, even the most picky traveler would have to work hard at finding something to complain about. There is absolutely nothing missing from the house - all appliances needed for a hearty breakfast or dinner, laundry and cleaning supplies, different types of coffee brewing appliances, beach gear, tennis gear ... anything you can think of, it's in the house. Comfort is something important to the graceful hosts, mattresses, linens, furnishings, all in like-new condition, comfortable and elegant. We left the place with some things on our to-search-for items on our furnishing list for our own house.
Andy is also super responsive and no question is too stupid for him to offer a thoughtful reply. Checking in and out is a seamless effortless process. Above all, the place made us feel less like invading tourists and more like residents on the island.
PS: I must not forget to mention A/C.
Ran out of words and had to stop :(

The property was as described and in the pictures. All the beach supplies were a huge bonus, especially the umbrella. The sun is strong at the beach. The location is perfect - close to a lot but without the busyness of some of the other developments in the area.
We would definitely stay here again!

We have stayed in many condos on the big island in roughly the same price range so we have some experience with what to expect, this was by far the most beat-up accommodation we've had. I expect some wear and tear for a rental property, but this was rough. In the kitchen drawer fronts were duct taped on, the closet doors in the hallway were completely broken and falling off their hinges, and there were many other signs of neglect. Ultimately it was not a relaxing place for me to be. When I originally made the bookings I saw a few reviews that mentioned the same thing, but chose to give the property the benefit of the doubt. Soon after booking I grew too nervous about the reviews and tried to cancel the booking. I should have read the cancellation policy more carefully because even 90 days out we couldn't get a full refund and were stuck. I'm thinking we should have just taken the hit and booked somewhere clean, maintained, and peaceful.
I think the most positive thing I have to say is that the beach supplies were well stocked.

Our stay at Waikoloa Beach Resort on the Big Island was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the spirit of aloha and surrounded by stunning ocean views, making it the perfect destination for both relaxation and adventure.The resort itself is breathtaking, with easy access to beautiful beaches and luxurious amenities. Every detail, from the sparkling pools to the lush gardens, makes you feel like you’ve found paradise. The sunsets alone are worth the trip! But what truly made this vacation unforgettable was the amazing hiking nearby.If you're a nature enthusiast or hiker, Waikoloa is a dream base for exploring some of Hawaii’s best trails. We took a short drive to the stunning Pololū Valley Lookout and hiked down to a secluded black sand beach—the views were jaw-dropping! Another day, we headed out to the Mauna Lani trails, which offer lava-rock paths with ocean vistas and ancient petroglyphs along the way. We even took a sunrise hike up Mauna Kea for some of the most incredible views of the Big Island.Returning to the resort each day was a treat, where we’d unwind with delicious meals at one of their restaurants and soak in the oceanfront views. There’s something for everyone here, whether you want to explore or relax by the pool.I’d highly recommend Waikoloa Beach Resort to anyone looking for a Hawaiian vacation that balances adventure with luxurious relaxation. It’s the perfect base for exploring Hawaii’s natural wonders and a place we can’t wait to come back to. Mahalo, Waikoloa, for an unforgettable experience! 🌋🌴🏖️

The condo was ok. Since we mostly just slept there, I was able to overlook some flaws. However, the place is in need of several repairs; laundry room doors, drawer in kitchen, door shelf in refrigerator, and other small things. Furniture/decor would help as well. Overall, our 1st trip to Hawaii will not be our last.

Traveled to Kona on kind of a short notice vacation in September. Our family included two toddlers and an infant, and we wanted a place that had some extra space to allow the kids to go to sleep earlier but us to still enjoy our time. We wanted something in the Waikoloa area that was reasonable and close to the beach. We found this unit on VRBO for a good price for the area. The condo was huge compared to others that we've stayed in. It was a nice layout and had everything we needed for the week. Complex was very well taken care of and close to the shopping in Waikoloa and a very short drive to A beach. The kids loved the kids pool and both pools were very well maintained. Thank you, Jim, for letting us enjoy your home.

If I could give Melissa 10 stars, I would!
A few days before our stay, I panicked realizing I had booked the wrong dates - 4 days too early. Fortunately, nobody had booked the dates we needed so Melissa kindly changed the dates for us - what a relief for me! She's very quick to respond and an absolute pleasure to work with. She made everything so easy for us! I'm so grateful to her.
We loved the accommodations with all the amenities such as beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear, ice chests, bikes and board games that we took advantage of. The kitchen was also stocked. The unit is conveniently located near the pool, spa and pickleball courts which we also enjoyed. This place was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii.
Thank you Melissa!

The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, and a good selection of spices. It had all the beach supplies we needed from towels, chairs, boogie boards, and beach toys. The great pool and hot tub are steps from the condo. Overall a perfect spot for us.

We had the best time here in beautiful Waikoloa. The Hale Pele was as exactly as described in the listing and photos. Kat was wonderful to work with and quick to respond to our questions. We are a family of 6, ages 8-17 and our kids loved it here. The Townhome had everything we needed, spices, dishes, pans and Kona coffee provided, thank you! The kids loved all the close by shopping at Kings and Queens marketplace. On our beach days which was pretty much daily the home provided everything we needed; towels, bags, cooler (although we brought ours,) 4 boogie boards, snorkel gear, 4 chairs and tons of umbrellas to keep us shaded. We loved going to Hapuna and Kua Bay for our beach/boogie board days and A bay for Sunsets. You can see turtles on the left side of A Bay just past Lava Lava Beach club. Drinks at Lava Lava are amazing and their is live music there too . One day we explored the Island from Waikoloa to Kona, to Punalu'u bakery, Black Sands, Volcano National park and beautiful Hilo and Rainbow Falls. This Island truly is magically and there is so much more to see.
This home and location is perfect for a couple or family. We would stay here again.

Andy was easy and quick to communicate with, and very accomodating! All of the supplies in the garage were in great condition and we had everything we needed. Convenient location right by the back gate into the colony villas made trips to the store super easy. Our girls really enjoyed the local cats that stopped by, but they were never a nuisance. Hope to be back in the future!

We had another great stay at the property, it couldn’t have been any better. Loved all the new beach gear/toys and the unit was supplied with enough thoughtful supplies that we did not have to run to the store for common kitchen and bathroom items. This location is absolutely ideal with easy access to beaches, shops and dining. I especially love the patio off of the primary bedroom, opening up to the golf course making it an ideal location for morning coffee and the beds are very comfortable as well. Another very relaxing vacation! Mahalo Kristi.

Wow. What a fantastic property to stay at on the Big Island. We spent 10 nights in this townhouse and everything was great. Probably most important to me (mom) was that it was very clean and had wonderfully cold air conditioning ;)
The location in the bigger Waikoloa resort was great. Really close (walking distance) to two great shopping areas with upscale stores, souvenir shopping and two markets. Close to great swim beaches and a bit of a drive to snorkeling beaches but that wasn’t a problem for us. The community this townhouse is in is quiet and immaculate. The pool was perfect and the teens in our group spent hours there. Just a 30 second walk from our unit. BBQs are at the pool area. It was never crowded.
The unit, as I said, was very clean. No complaints at all. Everyone had super comfy beds and slept well. Kitchen is well stocked and clean. Floors are mostly vinyl plank I think so very easy to keep clean. Bathrooms also very clean. Great to have a washer and dryer in the unit. Lots of beach stuff to use…umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards, pool noodles, towels, tennis gear for the nearby court.
Probably our best short-term rental ever. Would definitely come back again in the future.
