  We just got back from a great holiday including our stay in Paul's condo.This was our secong visit to the Big Island and Collony Villas. We knew where we were going to stay when we planned this trip, just had to decide on a condo. Paul was great right from my first inquiry. He was prompt with all his replys. What sold it for us was the rate he offers his condo at.We were able to get a great the unit we wanted at a great price. We will make a third trip to the Big Island at some point and our first inquiry will be to Paul. There were no disappointments with the condo. I would echo all of the past possitive comments!

  My wife and I really enjoyed our week on the big island and the condo was fantastic. The kitchen had everything we needed for the limited amount of meal prep we did. Having a washer and dryer was great. The amount of space was amazing. My wife would have liked an ocean view, but we ha a very short drive (less than 5 minutes) to get to a very sparsely used beach, we spent several afternoons there reading and whale watching. We hope to come back next year, this time for 2 weeks.

  We are just coming home from 10 days at Paul's condo. Fabulous place to stay! The condo was clean, quiet and just steps from the pool. We liked that the condo was fully stocked with beach gear and basic household goods like laundry soap. Super friendly staff in the complex and the pools were never full of people. We really found the location of this condo to be one of the best too. Not only steps from the quieter pool, but right by the back gate too. Great reserved parking right in front. Speedy Internet. We will be back!

  I was very happy with my recent short stay at Colony Villas.The property is beautiful and well cared for. It was convenient because I was attending a series of workshops being held in the recreation center of the complex.Regrettably I didn't get to spend much time in the villa but found it comfortable and the kitchen more than adequately equipped for the meals we were able to prepare there. We had the opportunity of attending the Lunar New Year celebrations at the nearby Queens Shops, shopping and a meal at the Kings Shops and a visit to the Hilton Hotel. I also enjoyed whale watching and the beaches at Hapuna and the Mauna Kea Hotel.The location was also close enough for me to meet with friends in Kona, Kawaihae and Waimea. When I returned home my daughter asked for recommendations for friends planning to visit Hawaii. I told her about VRBO; they looked into it and have already booked. On arriving at the Villas I found I had left a page of my itinerary at home. I called the owner and he was able to immediately answer my question and solve my problem. I look forward to visiting again in the future and possibly bringing family members.

  Our first family beach vacation was fantastic! We couldn't have stayed at a better place. The rental process was so easy and it was great to have clear and concise instructions when we arrived late at night. The place was very clean, quiet, had all the necessary beach equipment needed and located very conveniently by the back gate and second pool. We HIGHLY recommend staying here....you won't be disappointed! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!!

  This is a terrific place to stay, and a terrific value given its location near the awesome beaches of Kohala. It was bigger, and nicer, than it looks in the pictures. It is fully stocked with beach and cooking gear and located in an immaculately landscaped area just down the road from the Hilton Waikoloa. We loved having so much space and everything felt very clean and well-maintained. The price is very reasonable for this level of quality. We drove up the coast to explore the awesome beaches nearby, and up to Hawi and Waimea for the day, as well as down to Kealakekua for a snorkeling trip. It's a good location for that kind of exploration, but also for beach bumming if you are interested in that. It is about a mile or so to walk to the beach from the condo, but we mostly drove, which was easy and enabled us to take plenty of gear. Paul answered questions before our arrival promptly and efficiently. All in all, an excellent experience!

  We stayed here the first week of 2013 and this is a very nice condo in a safe gated community. Very clean quiet condo, which is very close ( 50 steps ) to the nearest pool. We have stayed in Waikoloa before so we had no worries as its a safe quiet place and is always sunny and warm on this side of the island. It's a 15 minute walk or 5 min drive to the queens marketplace which has shopping, restaurants and a small grocery store. We like going up to waimea for groceries at food land and to hapuna beach for boogie boarding. It's about a 30 min. drive to kona with all the major shopping . If you have never rented a condo for a holiday before you have nothing to worry about here, but I would recommend you rent a car so you can see everything the big island has to offer. Paul was very attentive to our questions and as I've said before nothing to worry about here. The only thing I could nit pick is that the Tv's were the older CRT types and the beds were a little hard , but that is really just nit picking, we would surely stay again . There's no point in spending $400 a night at the Hilton when you can stay in a nice condo for way less. Thanks Paul for renting your lovely home. Mahalo !

  Our first time to the Big Island. We really enjoyed our stay at Paul's condo. Very clean and well stocked with kitchen items. The condo is close to Hilton Waikoloa and convenient to local shops and restaurants. Centrally located to easily reach the town of Kona ( 20 minutes) and some great local beaches. Be aware that the Big Island is limited in beach access and many are a short drive and hike down to the water. Lots to do on the island. Zipline at Big Island Eco Adventures was fun, as was Captain Zodiac snorkel trip. Drive around the island was great. Long day of nature walks and visiting Hilo and the volcano. In total for one day, it took 12 hours, no easy way to do it.

  Clean, comfortable, nicely appointed, great location, good value. My only complaint is the quality of the beds. With that upgrade, I could not have asked for more.

  This villa was exactly as described. Paul provided excellent information and everything was in order. We arrived early and although the cleaners were still present we were able to leave our bags and go off to have lunch. The cleaners do an amazing job and the villa was spotless. It contains two bedrooms, we only used the upstairs one and it had everything we needed. Staying when we did we didn't use the aircon and slept with the windows open. It was wonderfully quiet. The kitchen was well equipped. It was great to have the washing machine and dryer, although would have loved a clothes rack to dry things on (we don't use the dryer to the same extent as some). Having access to the beach chairs, cooler, picnic bags was wonderful. We would recommend this villa for one or two couples, rather than a family due to its bedding configuration. We would definitely stay again. thank you
