Travel with confidence this unit is furnished with everything you need to enjoy your vacation. The unit was clean, nicely decorated, and featured every nice-to-have we could have asked for. Wonderful unit and Iâll recommend it to friends.
This development is perfect for those who want ready access to both a pool and A Bay with its beach (and turtles!). The twin beds in the unit's guest bedroom were perfect for our 2 young grandchildren. We also really appreciated the plastic dishes and cups that could be taken to the pool; and the beach towels and sand toys for the beach.
Everything you want here. A very short walk to the beach and located near all the best beaches on the island. A beautiful clean home with all the amenities, along with a pool and hot tub in the complex. I would come back and stay here!
This condo was absolutely perfect. We had everything we need and more. All the beach necessities we provided for us. The beach was less than a 5 minute walk and the surf was super calm the whole time. The Kings and Queens Marketplace are both a short walk away. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone who wants a relaxing vacation.
This unit was clean, well stocked, and comfortable. It had everything we needed to enjoy the property and the beaches. The kitchen also had everything needed to cook and clean up.
Everything was perfect. The home was beautifully appointed, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed the pool/club and beach, a short walk away. Well located near high end stores and restaurants and great beaches. Would absolutely stay at this complex and in this unit again and highly recommend.
Amazing pool and access to the beach. Loved the outdoor space and BBQ set-up. The unit is great for families and young kids, especially being on the ground floor. We had an amazing time!
We stayed at Kolea Kai 16D with our two granddaughters on their âTurning 10 Tripâ. It was perfect for our purpose. They loved their bedroom suite and hanging out on the lanai. The place had everything we wanted and much more.
Gorgeous ground floor condo that was perfect for our family vacation.
This kitchen beat every expectation! Excellent selection and quality of utensils, pots, pans, chef knives, wine glasses, and gadgets. Saran wrap, tupperware, and a rotating shared pantry are all helpful when you like to cook while on vacation. The grounds of the property are gorgeous, and the pool area is a 10. This condo sits near our very favorite beach on the BI. We hope to return again soon!
Everything was great. The dishwasher is warn and needs replacing. The BBQ worked, unlike some of the neighbors. Beds and linens were nice - although thinner pillows would be appreciated. Clean throughout. Ample pots / pans / dishes for 4. Awsome!!
Wonderful location, great size, and well appointed
Our family of 4 (11 & 9 yo boys) enjoyed our stay. The condo layout is wonderful and is well appointed. Highly organized made it intuitive to make it âhomeâ for our trip. The location is perfect IMOP. North of the hustle of Kona, close enough for excursions, easy airport access, and minutes from Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area.
At the time of our stay the condo included four beach chairs, three boogie boards, towels; cooler, two beach umbrellas, simple snorkel gear.
The complex this condo is located in is top notch. Beautifully maintained grounds and easy access to the beach club and ocean.
Our recommendation would be to stay here along the western Hawaii coast. Ensure you visit the Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area.
It's rare when an on-line listing matches the reality but this one hit the mark. 1st floor 2BR unit in the well located and well maintained Kolea Kai condo development Sandwiched between the Big Hilton and Big Marriott Kolea has direct beach access and is easily walkable to all shopping and many restaurants (go to Lava Lava Beach Club many times!). We had a rental car for off premises trips (Volcanoes Nat'l Park, Hilo Botanical Gardens, Hawi, Waimea, etc., etc., but you could get by without one for sure if you're just looking for a beach vacation! The unit itself was immaculate and had a well appointed kitchen and personal outdoor grilling station. Very comfortable King size bed in the master BR and 2 small twins in secondary make it ideal for a couple or family with younger childeren. We were here in late Jan/early Feb and saw many whales spouting and breaching right from the beach (so cool)! Go and enjoy!
Kolea is a wonderful, well maintained development in Waikoloa Resort. Excellent pool/ lounge area and open air workout room, beautiful landscaping and assigned covered parking. Be aware that after staying in two different units on this trip we now know first hand that all units are not equally maintained. This unit had maintenance (toilets, dishwasher, blender) and ongoing pest control issues. We shouldnât have to deal with these on vacation and neither should you. If not for courteous property management staff this rating would be worse.
My family just checked out a few days ago. I have stayed in various condos in the area but this one was a mistake. It was supposed to sleep 6 but that's only if you use the 'sleeper sofa' (which is usually not a problem at a nice hotel or condo), but THIS one was A.W.F.U.L! We had just left a nearby hotel where the sleeper sofa was amazing! My back is still sore from the condo. It was worst sleeper-sofa I have slept on in 30 years. Really. There is a printed sign in the closet which says, "Don't use for sleeper-sofa" but they are the ONLY pillowcases to go OVER the incredibly dusty couch throw pillows that I guess I was supposed to use. The comforter was so dusty and clearly hadn't been washed in some time. Additionally, while there is an outside area, there are NO screens on ANY door or windows. In fact, there are no windows at all in the bathrooms, which just seemed weird. All that money: no screens, dusty dusty bedcovers, no pillowcases for 1 of the beds that slept 2, & a few kids games but none was complete. Every time the frig was opened when I was sleeping, it woke me up. Something needs repair. Also, I notice that this is the first rental in years that is still using highly aromatic laundry soap. My son is allergic, so I bought unscented and washed his sheets and pillowcases the next day. 3 times. The discomfort of watching a 9 year old get sick and ruin 2 days of his vacation due to highly scented detergent was awful. I should have noticed. By the time we got back from dinner late, he went to bed and since I didn't have pillowcases on the sofa bed, I didn't know it until the next day. The other very disappointing thing was that my kids were reprimanded for playing in the condo's POOL! There are a LOT of rules there, too few shaded lounge chairs, and though there were a few kids in the pool, parents had to remind the kids to be quiet. NO POOL TOYS ALLOWED. NO RING FLOAT for a small child. Not exactly what my land-locked kids were hoping in an Hawai'ian vacation. I would suggest this condo for a honeymoon couple maybe or 2 adults. 2 couples can't stay because the 2nd bedroom has quite narrow twin beds. Only the 'master' has a king bed. I saw positive reviews for this place but I don't know why. Not if you have kids. Plus, there is soooooo much glass. The tables, the end tables.. it's just a little condo. Why put all that glass into a rental? A disaster waiting to happen. And nowhere to put the cushions unless you close the sofa bed every morning. All in all, almost $2K of regret for 3 nights.
