Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful condo! Travelling with a baby was so easy with all the baby items you had available (pac n play, monitor etc.). The unit is clean, beautifully decorated and close to the pool and shops! Thanks again!

Owner response:Having two children of our own we try to accommodate a family's needs. A vacation is just as much of a vacation for the kids as well and being able to have some of the comforts of home make it a better experience for our little ones. Each year we update our equipment to keep them fresh and functional. We even do a little home improvement and redecorating too. It gives the home a sense of life for our return guests.

Clean, modern condo in the Waikoloa Resort area

My husband and I stayed here in February 2011 for a much needed vacation on the Big Island. We were cautious about staying in a "resort area", but found this perfect for our needs. The condo is large, beautiful, and convenient to the beach, restaurants, and a decent grocery store, while far away enough from the hotels that it has a laid-back air about it. Everything in the condo was spotless, more beautiful than the pictures. The kitchenware was upscale, which I appreciated as we cooked a lot, and furnishings very tasteful. Beds were extremely comfy! And we wound up really appreciating the proximity to the Island's best beaches -- 5 to 30 minute drive to the best ones (you can also walk to "A Beach", which we loved; great swimming & very peaceful. There are good places to eat across the street, but it's also only a 20 minute drive to Waimea, where we had some of the best food of our trip. Really wonderful experience. Beautiful, tasteful condo with all the amenities we needed or could hope for. Perfect for us as a couple, but would be wonderful for a family as well. Thank you, Nicholas & Laura, for a fantastic stay!

Dear Murphy family, Mahalo! Thank you so much for letting us stay in your Villa. We had a fantastic stay. Your Villa is beautifully decorated and everything we needed was here. We have stayed at Kauai, Maui, and Oahu and this may be our favorite place we have stayed. We will certainly recommend your place to all!

We enjoyed our stay here in your lovely condo. It had absolutely everything we needed. We had good times at the beaches nearby. Mauna Kea & A-Bay Beach are both nice beaches. We had an awesome day when we drove on hwy 19 to Akaka Falls, then to Volcano National Park. The Volcano was amazing! We drove on, and stopped at a black sand beach which the kids loved also. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

I just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous time at your condo over the holidays! I was simply hoping that it would meet my high expectations based on your website, but instead, it exceeded them. It's like you anticipated every possible need that we might have and planned accordingly! All of the 'extras' like beach towels, boogie boards, and bath robes (just to highlight a few) made our stay even more enjoyable. We will highly recommend your place to anyone considering Hawaii as a vacation option and hope to visit again ourselves too! Thank you so very much for a memorable stay. Tara, Derek, Jessica and Ashley

What a fantastic place, we have visited Hawaii several times but this condo is just the best for relaxing. Sunrises over Mauna Kea, and Sunsets over the Bay. Both our kids are older teens who just like to “chill” out on the Lanai or at the pool. Things we did: Sudoku and reading on the Lanai and pool, walks to A-bay to watch sunsets, drive to end of hwy 270 to Polulu Valley, hike down to beautiful black sand beach, snorkeling in Kealakekua Bay, tried to avoid Luau, but kids wanted the experience… Your condo is lovely, Mahalo!

Dear Murphys, we really enjoyed your beautiful condo and how convenient it was for everything we wanted to do. We were even serenaded by a “Willie K” concert going on across the street at the Queens Gardens. We sat in the hot tub, then lounged in the pool chairs while listening to his concert and watching the stars. It’s been a great week and your condo helped make it better.

It is always so incredibly hard to leave the beautiful island of Hawaii, but after staying at your condo, it has made it that much harder! Your extraordinary island oasis far exceeded our expectations and became the envy of the rest of our group. J Thanks so much for allowing my husband and I to call this our “home” for our Big Island stay. The accommodations were “World Class” and definitely beats staying in a hotel. We definitely plan on revisiting the Waikoloa Beach Villas soon. Hawaii has become our annual get away and now that we found you, it makes our trip so much for inviting. For anyone who reads this, we highly recommend the Sunlight on the Water Dolphin Swim. It was an absolutely unforgettable experience and can bring you to tears. Also, check out the Zip Line adventures… such a rush! Once again, Mahalo for making such a spectacular and memorable Hawaiian vacation that much more relaxing. Many thanks.

Thanks for all your help navigation. The place is stunning and true reminiscence of Bali Hai. We enjoyed the condo more than the island; so well equipped. Your hospitality and attention to detail are greatly appreciated.

Your home has been a wonderful location for our family vacation. Our grandson (2yrs) thinks it’s Grandma and Grandpa’s Hawaii house. He loved all the toys, videos, golf on the lawn, and his favorite was Mr. Turtle for floating around the pool. Your home had everything we needed and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. It has been a great holiday. Thank you again.

Our main purpose of this trip was to root on the UC Davis men’s golf team. Your beautiful condo was perfectly located for all of the events we wanted to attend. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us. We were truly comfortable here.

Thank you for all the wonderful things you have for us to use. We had a wonderful time and my son said “he had the time of his life”. It was his first vacation ever. We loved going to the beach everyday and driving around the island. Your condo is very family friendly and close to all of the things we wanted to do. We would stay here again if given the chance. Thanks for everything.

Aloha, This unit is in the best location at tha Waikola Beach Resort. Walking distance to the shops, beaches, entertainment and fine dining. The furnishings are incredible and the amenities are superb. The attention to detail that has gone into this unit must be experienced. If you are considering staying at the Beach Resort you must stay here. Enjoy !
