Tropical Heaven! Spacious, Poolside & Views. Exclusive Hilton Pool Pass for '25

Escape to paradise at our luxurious 3-bedroom townhome in the private, gated complex of Waikoloa Beach Villas, located on the breathtaking Kohala Coast of the Big Island. Our poolside unit is among the largest in the complex and boasts 1,872 sq. ft. of indoor living space. From our private corner location, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the Kohala, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai volcanoes.

As our guest, you’ll have exclusive access to the world-class amenities of the Hilton Waikoloa with our daily Hilton Pool pass, available for up to 6 guests. Dive into one of the 3 pools, race down the slides, and meander along the lazy river. Discover the wonders of the lagoon with a snorkel or kayak for an unforgettable experience. The pass comes with free towel service and parking for 1 car (Hilton Pool Pass is available for all stays in 2024/25 and we expect to renew for 2026 when made available by Hilton in the Oct/Nov timeframe).

Unwind in our spacious family room, featuring two plush sofa sitting areas and a massive 86-inch TV for your entertainment. Or retreat to the cozy upstairs loft with an additional sofa and smart TV. Each bedroom also come equipped with their own TVs for your enjoyment.

Create culinary masterpieces in our fully equipped kitchen, complete with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Or sizzle up some steaks on the barbecue on our private lanai and watch the kids play on the large greenbelt. Stay active at the nearby fitness center or take a refreshing dip in the tropically landscaped pool and jacuzzi across the lawn - a perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach. The pool area was beautifully remodeled in 2022.

Need to stay connected while on vacation? No problem! Set up your laptop on the desk in the loft area and stay productive with our lightning-fast internet with speeds up to 500 Mbps.

Our townhome comes with all the comforts of an upscale home, including a washer and dryer and an adjacent private garage for one car. A parking permit is provided for one additional car, allowing guests to park a total of 2 cars on the property.

Located in the heart of Waikoloa Beach Resort, our villa is just across the street from Queen’s Market Place and King’s Shops for casual and upscale shopping and dining. Savor a cup of coffee at Starbucks or a delicious meal at the Gourmet Market - both just a couple of minutes walk from the unit.

Great property, exactly as pics show. Close to queens market. Loved being so close to the pool. Grounds staff always cleaning. Beautiful property. Beds very comfortably, kitchen well stocked. If i had to make a suggestion would be to have windows cleaned more often and replace windows shades that are getting wornNice bright rooms but dirty glass.

Amazing family holiday!!

We had an incredible trip and Sherry and Lars property was perfect for our large blended family. The extra space and sleeping arrangements worked out great for two adults and five children ages 8 to 14Shaded lawn area and steps away from the pool made the time spent on property very enjoyable. The condo was well equipped for home away from home living, as well as the garage for beach. excursions.One of the pictures in the listing needs to be updated due to new furniture but we caught it before the trip and Sherry’s communication and solution were excellent.

Awesome place

We have stayed at lots of VRBO’s over the years in Kona, and this was the best. It was fantastic, excellent location, had AC, even the teenage boys loved it. I think we found “our place”. I love Waikoloa, and the shops and the beaches, the whole island is beautiful, but this is a really nice place. We’ll be back for sure.

Excellent corner unit location near entrance the Waikoloa beach area and across from Queens Marketplace. It is 5-10 minutes away from the ‘Anaeho’omalu sandy beach with free parking, shade and the salt water lagoon near the Hilton resort, which is safe for snorkeling. Upscale groceries/shopping/restaurants nearby. Costco is near the Kona airport, Foodland Farms supermarket in Mauna Lani beach resort is 10 minutes away and Waikoloa Village (town to east) offer more economical groceries and restaurants. Management company was very responsive and checkin/checkout were easy. Owners gave lots of great tips for our visit. Pool pass with Hilton self service parking was a great plus, because we were there a lot. Lots of beach equipment was available in unit, including beach umbrellas, chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards and beach cart. Interior was very nice and beds comfortable. Full size washer and dryer. Plentiful beach towels. Attractions in the area (Kona, coffee farms, Costco, Pololu Valley, Hapuna beach) were 15-60 minutes away. FYI. Hawai’i Volcano NP is 2 hrs away, but doable for a day trip.
Swimming with sea turtle at Hilton saltwater lagoon-sand beach on south side open to public or rental cabana from Hilton.  Lagoon water isn’t dirty, but water has some vegetation floating near falls and shimmer. Variety of tropical fishes seen.
sunset at Hapuna beach state park-15 minutes away. Wide sandy beach, but not sheltered, so larger waves for boogie boarding
”Legends of Hawai’i Luau” show at Hilton resort-Excellent show and buffet. Expect to be hot while waiting for sun to set, but unlimited tropical drinks. Entertainers were enthusiastic and enjoyable.
Pololu Valley hike-1.5 hrs top to bottom and back. 
Be aware trail has steep areas.  Limited parking.  Scenic.  Keokea beach park nearby, great for picnic.  Statue of King Kamehameha and recommend eating lunch at Gill’s Lanai for fish tacos in Kapaau

Loved the fantastic location, great amenities, lots of indoor and outdoor space, and fully-equipped kitchen. The supply of beach equipment in the garage was so convenient, and a really great bonus.

Our stay was wonderful! The property is beautifully maintained, well stocked and a great location. We had everything we needed for a large family to gather and whether we prepared meals in the fully stocked kitchen or outdoor patio kitchen, we had what we needed. Thee are restaurants and shopping just across the entrance street. We can’t wait to return! Access to other Hilton resorts nearby was great with the 3 teens that were also on the trip near to us. We celebrated our Son and Daughter in Laws 40th birthdays in Paradise!!

Wonderful Stay!

The condo is spacious and comfortable. We loved being so close to the pool, which was never crowded! Everything we needed was provided. The furniture is different than online photos, which should be updated. There is a pull out couch in the loft, not 2 full sized futons. Living room has more sofas, not chairs, which we all loved! We loved being able to walk to the shopping centers for dinner and shopping. I would highly recommend this condo!

Best vacation of our lifetime

This was the best vacation of our lifetime. Sherry and Lars sent us a list of favorite activities and restaurants which was very helpful. The location has everything a family could ask for... rooms were nice; TVs in every bedroom; great kitchen with everything you need; toys and games for grownups and kids; small community pool and hot tub with beautiful rock waterfall fountain; gorgeous patio; walking distance to shops, restaurants, ice cream shop, movie theater; short drive to incredible beaches and the Hilton pools. Hilton pools were amazing with water slides, lagoons and tons of activities for the kids; my daughter and wife swam with the dolphins. Overall the location was perfect for my wife, 3 kids and I; we had the best vacation of our lifetime.

Wonderful stay!

Tropical Heaven was a wonderful townhouse for our trip with our son, daughter in law and their 10 month old. The corner unit was quiet, spacious, and well supplied. Finding the storage under the stairs with the high chair and pack n play was very helpful. There were plenty of beach towels and a nice washer and dryer. The pool and fitness rooms were very convenient. The location of the complex was perfect as it was a short walk to Queens and Kings shopping centers, and Lava Lava Beach Club and Hilton were both within a 30 minute walk. Due to Covid and both daughter and daughter in law’s pregnancies, we needed to reschedule several times and the owners were so wonderful and understanding. We would love to return.

Great vacation rental

We highly enjoyed our stay at this location. The condo was extremely clean and beautiful. We were a party of 6 adults and 2 toddlers and comfortably slept in the space. Its location as a corner property gave it some of the best views of the breathtaking mountains. We loved the proximity to the pool and exercise room. Our toddlers were able to run around on the grassy lawn outside the backdoor and get their energy out. We loved that we were able to visit the Hilton pools but at the end of the day we could retreat to our quiet, spacious condo and cook dinner together. In the mornings we would sit outside, coffees in hand, and watch the sunrise over the mountains. The condo was well equipped with everything we needed, even some lego duplos to my daughter's delight. Sheri and Lars were extremely helpful with any questions we had before our stay. The condo is run by a management company so everything was very organized and detailed. We highly recommend this property.

A beautiful spot, but could have been cleaner.

The rental is located close to the shops, which came in handy multiple days. We were able to walk over and purchase what we needed. The rental has a beautiful view from the downstairs family room. I was a little disappointed in the upstairs balcony's view from the master bedroom, you see the road and hear the cars, but the downstairs view is lovely. The check-in process was straight forward and clear. Communication with the owner was also very responsive and prompt. I did have a few concerns and suggestions. First of all, the master sheets had some sort of oil stain of them. That was pretty gross. The cleaning crew should have seen those when making the bed and written the owner to let him know. The pack and play also had a gigantic stain on the bottom. Luckily, it wasn't on the mat part and we were able to cover it with a sheet. The carpet was also not very clean. It looked like it needed a good vacuuming and cleaning. We did see a few roaches inside the condo. The outside front patio and walkway was covered in spider webs, it looked like no one had been there for several weeks. It would be an easy thing to have whoever is cleaning and getting ready for the next tenants, to swipe down those webs with a broom. We came at night and it was creepy, trying to avoid all of the webs. Cleanliness was definitely an issue for me. Otherwise, everything was well stocked, looked great and was in a convenient location. We loved having the pool right behind us!

About the host

Hosted by Lars Skari

Host profile image
My husband, Lars, is a tech entrepreneur and I (Sherry) am an elementary school teacher. We have two adult daughters and we live in a suburb of Los Angeles, California. Lars had been dreaming about owning a place in Hawaii for years. I felt it was a lovely, but impractical dream, but in the end we made the dream a reality. We looked at several homes in different complexes on the Kohala coast. We chose the Waikoloa Beach Villas, because of the great location next to shops and restaurants, its low density, new construction, and spacious interior. We welcome you to our second home! E komo mai!

Why they chose this property

We selected this town home, because of its great location close to many wonderful amenities of the Waikoloa Beach Resort, its size, and the beautiful tropical landscaping and pool. Our two daughters love walking across the street to the stores and getting ice cream whenever they want at the Queen's Market Place and the King's Shops. The Big Island has so many things to do, without the large tourist crowds, and the snorkeling is fantastic!

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the beautiful white sand beaches of A-Bay, Hapuna and Mauna Kea beach. We love that although we are in the heart of the Waikoloa Beach Resort, it is quiet and uncrowded. We love going coffee tasting in the Kona district and visiting the farmer's market in Hilo. There is a wonderful secluded pathway between the Marriott Hotel and the Hilton Waikoloa with stunning ocean/shore views. (Start at the Marriott sand volleyball court and see an opening in the bushes. Wear good shoes.) Once you get to the Hilton, check out Dolphin Quest, and take a free ride on the Hilton boat which gives you a fun overview of this enormous hotel.
