This is the third year in a row that we stayed at the Kolea at Waikōloa Beach Resort, but first time at this property. This was for sure our favorite as the property was very spacious, well kept and just an overall beautiful place. The ocean view was very nice and of course all the local amenities from the awesome pool area, the beach, Queens Market and the other close restaurants are all great plus's.We definitely will be back!!!

Amazing condo and location

This condo is a beautiful penthouse in a great location. We loved the terrace with the built-in BBQ. It is very clean and we loved the fact that many condiments such as spices were provided. The resort is perfect. Don't miss the walk on the sea shore starting at the resort.

This place truly was amazing. Every small detail is accounted for and the space was perfect for the four of us. Kitchen is well stocked as well as the bathrooms. The property itself is very well maintained and the access to the beach and pool super close to walk to with all the beach gear that is supplied. The place itself is a destination outside of the island. Had a great time and can’t wait to go back and stay here.

Kolea Condo

Been coming to the Big Island for the Lavaman race for the past 15 years. Always look for a Kolea condo and this one is one of the best. Owners are very responsive and kind. Condo is on 3rd floor with vaulted ceilings and a partial ocean view. Tons of beach toys and a beach buggy wagon hat was perfect for hauling the grandkids and their stuff to the beach. The pool area is a great place for the littles to splash and play. Hope to return for next year's Lavaman race!

Little slice of paradise

The condo is in a great location and is an amazing place to stay. It is walking distance to beach, restaurants, markets, and a private beach club. The beach club with pool was a real treat and we brought a picnic lunch there a few days and sat and looked out at the ocean. The neighborhood is quiet and private and the landscape is immaculately kept. The owners are super responsive, helpful and gracious hosts. We really appreciated all their special touches to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with an outdoor grill too. The doors in the living room open wide to the lanai which is a great place to soak in the sea air and sunsets in the distance. We highly recommend this place.

Great property and location!

We loved the location of this condo. It was nice to have access to coolers, beach wagon, boogie boards, beach towels and beach chairs since we were traveling as a family. The lanai was really nice and we cooked many meals while staying at this property. There was a used diaper in one of the laundry bins when we arrived, therefore gave it 4 stars for cleanliness, otherwise it was very clean. The dryer did have some difficulty operating due to an error message, but we were able to get it working. Love being able to do laundry while away so that arrival at home is easy, without loads of work to do. The front bedroom doesn’t get as cool using the AC as the back master bedroom, definitely recommend the use of a fan.

An amazing stay at our first time on the big island

As a resident of the Pacific Northwest, we have had the opportunity to have a few visits to Hawaii but this was our first time on the big island. Part of what made it so sweet was staying at Maryanne & Steve's gorgeous penthouse condo. Everything is high end amazingly comfortable. Eat, Beach, Swim, & Repeat. A-Bay is beautiful and I highly recommend the kayaking/snorkeling trip down and out to the Captain Cook. Is it a monument, a bay..., an actual pirate? I can't say. :-) I can say, as an experienced scuba diver, that the reef life is abundant and I will return to both this island and this beautiful condo. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. - Kevin C.

Amazing getaway

We had the most wonderful time here at Steve and Maryanne's place. This is by far one of the very best vacation rentals that we have ever experienced, perfect location, wonderful amenities, and walking distance to everything you could need (pool, beach, shops, etc.) The condo itself is beautiful with two spacious bedrooms each with their own ensuite bathroom, an amazing kitchen with everything you could possibly need, and a wonderful gathering space inside with sliding doors out to the equally beautiful lanai. The space was spacious, sparkling clean, relaxing and had everything we needed and more for our family of four. The complex where the condo is located is equally as beautiful, relaxing and serene. The pool complex is gorgeous with loungers, umbrellas and a beautiful view of the ocean. From the condo you also have walking access (very easy, 5 mins tops) to the beautiful beach at A-Bay. The condo is equipped with all the beach gear you could need as well for a day away at any of the beaches nearby, and is also within walking distance to the shops, restaurants and grocery stores at the Kings & Queens shops. We traveled with our kids ages 5 and 7 and the location, amenities, and easy access to everything was absolutely perfect. Steve and Maryanne were wonderful hosts and we cannot wait to come back!

We spent two relaxing weeks at the property with another couple. The space provided all we needed and more. Bedrooms separated for privacy, and each has a master bath. The property is located within a short walk of A-Bay (beach access, no having to get in your car), Lava Lava Beach Club (great food, beverages, sunsets and nightly live music), an easy drive to many golf courses and sights on the Big Island, and two shopping complexes a short stroll away. It was our second stay at the complex. The grounds are beautiful, and the pool area nicely appointed, including a fun sandy "beach" area for the kiddos. The list of positives for this unit is long. Besides those mentioned above other standouts include: wine fridge, kitchen is well stocked with spices, pots and pans, etc. all you need to dine in or prepare a meal on the lanai at the outdoor kitchen (think grilling fresh caught fish) while enjoying a favorite island beverage and watching the sunset colors fade. The list continues with: comfy beds and linens, plenty of paper products, soaps, and incidentals, guest book of suggestions of local places to tour, dine and shop, easy check-in/check-out, GREAT communication and response time from hosts, comfy furniture and decor for indoor/outdoor living, closet full of beach chairs, toys, etc., coolers of various sizes to accommodate any need and plenty of beach towels. We hope to return and enjoy the unit and the lovely accommodations again.

But, the condo is so lovely and well equipped, and the owners were in communication the whole way through the process.

Talk about the 'wow factor'.
My husband, Steve, and I have been coming to Hawaii for years and also own #7F at the nearby Hali'i Kai Resort and #619 at the Villages at Mauna Lani.

We have timeshares on Kaanapali Coast - Westin North on Maui and at the Poipu Marriott Beach Resort on Kauai.
Yet, the 'wow factor' hit us when we saw the beautiful Hali'i Kai property. We came to Waikoala Beach Resort in February 2012 to attend a destination wedding. We saw the 'Open House' signs at Hali'i Kai, visited and purchased our dream home on The Big Island.
We invite you to be our guests.

Midwestern natives: we live in Geneva, IL {west suburban Chicago} and spend time at our Michigan lakefront home. We love the water and the relaxing atmosphere.
Enjoy all that you do!
Regards - Aloha.
