We spent six weeks at this condo in Colony Villas and had a wonderful stay! This was the fourth unit that we have stayed in at Colony Villas, and the second time with Amy. We really enjoyed the location of this condo in the complex. It was very convenient, but quiet, private, and at the same time, in a great location to enjoy the Kohala Coast beaches and sites. The owners were very responsive and the place was outfitted nicely for all our activities and our stay there. There was a minor problem with the AC early in our stay, maybe the same AC issue in the earlier review, but this was fixed promptly and we had a very comfortable stay. We were very sad to leave our "home" when it was time, and we would be excited to return to either of the two condos they have available in the future.

Lovely Unit

We had a great stay here. Unit is spacious and private, and there was plenty of room for 4 adults and one baby. We didn't use the pool or ground facilities, but the location is close to resorts and freeways so driving was easy. One thing worth noting is that the unit has fans but no real AC. There is technically AC but it can only be turned up to a certain level, and we felt it didn't really cool down the place, so it was pretty warm at night for sleeping -- especially with a baby. Other than that, all was great and I would recommend staying here.

We have just returned from our two weeks in this very well equipt, tastefully decorated and self contained condo. Every convenience was taken care of from the water toys, to mustard for sandwiches, umbrellas and chairs for the beach, blender for mixed drinks. Very quiet location and a very clean condo. I would recommend this condo to anyone, with the two bedrooms it was a great accomodation for our group, two senior couples. We could go to the bedrooms to watch tv if we needed to have our own space. Cooking was easy as there are all the pots and pans ,just like home. Not a thing I could find wrong. Thank you for letting us share your home away from home.

This condo enabled our family to have a great vacation! Amy was very accommodating with such short notice. All you need is food and clothing. Everything else you might need is there. The beds were very comfortable which is great after long days on the beach or traveling the island. The location gives the feeling that you are a separate unit because it is so quiet. We felt able to make it "our" home for the week. Thanks

the condo was the perfect setup for me. everything in the unit was very nice. the bed was super comfortable. and amy (one of the owners) was really helpful with all the information needed to get to and in the unit. i had arrived in a rush after a long trip and hadn't had time to shop yet and as i walked in i was thinking to myself "i hope there's a beer in the fridge" and there was... so i left some for the next visitors. couldn't have been a nicer stay. the complex, and i think this unit in particular, was very quiet. a great place for relaxing. i had family staying at the waikoloa vacation club and was happy that this condo was within five minutes walking distance to their room. it almost could not have been closer. i don't think you can find a better deal in the waikoloa beach resort area than in this particular condo.

It was our 3rd stay in this villa, and it was wonderful as always. The owner – Amy – is very responsive, easy to deal with. The villa itself is in one of the best locations in the community and very well stocked, from kitchen supplies to beach gear. Our little one didn't want to leave. Highly recommended!

A Tiny Snafu Turns into Fantastic Vacation?? INDEED!

Guest The Tourist "Wannabe"s

Review Submitted 12/05/11

Aloha Amy! Thank you for ALL that you have done for us in lieu of a tiny “snafu”. My Husband & I were very impressed how quickly you responded and flexible you were with “fixing” and “making up” for the tiny “snafu”. We also appreciate your willingness to accommodate us (which we found to be VERY generous) for any inconvenience we might have experienced. In the irony of the tiny “snafu” is that we had a really nice time getting to know and visiting with 2 very wonderful locals (whose gift is hospitality!). They showered us with many “comps” or “pickles” (in Hilton-eese) and treated us like Royalty! Also, the night before we left, we got the chance to meet with them for cocktails and a very nice visit. We couldn’t have asked for a finer people to get to know. We really were pleasantly surprised with how fully stocked your condo was with all the little details of what a house-hold needs. We were impressed to find plenty of beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, matts, snorkel gear, tennis & pool gear...etc for us to use. We also appreciated all the current literature on local attractions and amenities. Amy, please know, because of your generosity and our experience, my Husband & I have told this story to many people and they all agreed that they would love to stay at a condo whose owner was as concerned about their client’s experience as you do. As for the future, in renting from you again, we agreed that we were very happy with your condo, accommodations & location of the condo and that we would indeed love to stay there again and refer clients to you as much as we could. Take care Amy and a warm mahalo~ Juan & Bobbi

Beautiful Vacation Home in Waikoloa Colony Villas

Beautiful vacation home - located in a very peaceful and tranquil setting. Perfect for couples and families alike. The townhouse is very spacious, clean and well appointed. You can definitely feel at home here. Waikoloa is a great location to make your home base on the Big Island; as there are many activities on the Kohalo Coast. Drive to the Hilo side was approximately 2 hours. We loved coming home after a long day of play and having the ability to cook our own meals. Many services near by including a couple great gourmet grocery stores; where the locally grown produce was outstanding.

Amy, I want to thank you for allowing my family to stay in your wonderful condo at the Colony. We couldn't have asked for a better place to spend our time on the Big Island. I could not believe how many toys and beach supplies you had here! I definitely would recommend this place to families with small children and would stay here again.

That was the most enjoyable stay we've ever experienced! A spacious, clean townhouse with vaulted ceiling! Owners take very good care about guests (very well stocked and maintained), it was a great adventure to live and enjoy our vacations! Highly recommended! Thing to do: 1) Mauna Kea Beach (top ten in US) - tell guard you want to access public beach in the Resort 2) Pololu Valley - walk down 400 feet cliff to access black sand beach 3) A-bay - swimming with the turtles 4) Kahalu'u Beach - swimming with the fishes 5) Akaka Falls - 420 feet drop 6) Kilauea Caldera - active volcano!!! 7) Thurston Lava Tube - tunnel under the rocks (bring your flashlight to travel UNLIGHTED part!) 8) Whats Shakin' - best smoothie near Hilo! 9) Marble Slab - ice cream for kids in Waikoloa Resort! 10) Coming back to mainland - priceless!

A Fabulous Property

A perfect place to stay while visiting the Big Island. The condo is very well equipped -- beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, coolers with ice packs (we used them every day!) books, games, spices, pots, pans, dishes and glasses (including wine glasses). This has to be the quietest location we have stayed in and everyone was very friendly. There are two pools,a hot tub and a great exercise room which were never crowded. This was our first time renting from VRBO and we hope everyone is as organized as Amy. She answered our questions promptly and gave us great directions - everything was exactly as she said and we had no problem finding the unit. We also appreciated her letting us know about the area (Kings & Queen's Maketplace) which you can walk to from the condo and that there was a Costco (cheapest place for gas). The Big Island is a paradise but staying here just completed our wonderful holiday. Thank again,Amy - we will be back.

We made a very last minute reservation using VRBO and were extremely pleased with the results. The townhouse was as advertised and more. It had everything we could ever need to enjoy a stay on the Big Island. It was very thoughtful of the owners to provide items like boogie boards, a cooler, beach chairs and umbrella. The interior was perfect, comfortable, clean and well stocked. The location was also perfect and peaceful. It was very direct to get to all of the Waikoloa Beach amenities. Thanks to the owners the reservation and check in process were simple and easy to follow. Thank you Amy. We would definately stay again.

We stayed for 3 nights (7/11-7/14/09)in your beautiful home.This was our first visit to the Big Island and we had a blast!Your place is so comfortable, spacious and well stocked.We saved a lot of money by being able to cook some of our meals.Internet access,free parking all added up to a lot of savings.At the resort,we would have paid for these.There are so many things to do but sometimes,we just wanted to take it easy,sit outside and enjoy our family time,not doing anything.We loved going to A beach.Thanks for letting us use your cooler,mats & towels.We would recommend your place to our friends & family.We hope to go back in 2 years.Mahalo!

It was our first trip to Big Island and we really enjoyed it. Thank you so much Amy for letting us stay in your condo. It was so nice to come back from beach to such a neat and cozy place. We found everything we needed - beach towels, boogie board, so many kids games; kitchen was staffed with everything we needed. Great and beautiful resort and it's close to everything. And the price was just right! We would recommend this rental to everybody.

We were so lucky to find this. The condo was classy and felt new. Having a place with two bedrooms was much more economical for us than two hotel rooms, with the advantage of lots of space and a kitchen. Very user friendly, with DVD movies and boogie boards. The location was ideal - close to the most beautiful beaches and great hikes. We would love to come back. Thanks Anne

Amy- Wanted to shoot an email earlier to you, but its been a little hectic at work since I returned. Thanks again for renting us your condo. We loved it, the location was great and the beach stuff you provided was very useful.Would love to stay there again, and will contact you again this fall. Like I told you previously, we go over every year (sometimes twice) and would love to be return renters. Not having to search for a place every time would be a great relief. Thanks again….. Jack S.

We are back. It was all good! We really enjoyed your place and would definitely like to stay again. We left all in order and returned the keys. I think of all the islands the big island is definitely the best if not the most relaxing. The accomodations were top rate as were your directions. I am picky and simply could not find anything appropriate. Appreciate you letting us use your place. It was a very enjoyable vacation.

We loved staying here! Especially good for our 2 year old son since there is a little grassy area right outside of the sliding doors where he could run around, the two pools were great, and really nice size rooms since we had a crib. Everything was wonderful and we'd definitely stay again as soon as we have the chance!

We loved it. Very new and clean. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Master bedroom upstairs--a little more private, a little more quiet. About 10 minute walk to the Hilton and "A" bay. Big surf when we were there. Also, golf course just a couple minutes walk away. Cable tv. Spacious. I liked the location because it's within a 15 minute drive of several different beaches. Quite centrally located for lots to do on the Big Island. Our family got to explore a new beach everyday. We would definitely stay there again.
