Roger's condo was absolutely perfect. The condo is immaculate with great decor and has all the home away amenities that a family can need. The kitchen is top of the line and well stocked with all the dishes and accessories needed to make a big dinner or a light snack. The beds are very comfortable with great linens! We stayed with our two teenage boys who made constant use of the snorkel gear and boogie boards at the three near by beaches. (two of which are top 10 in the world). We also loved the pool. This condo really is Paradise Found! Thank you and we hope to come back soon.

Great Rental

Fantastic Rental- Clean and plenty of space. My wife and I spent two weeks here and had a blast. Roger was great to work with and created a nice package price for a two week stay. The Big Island is a nice vacation spot. Not to busy , but, plenty to do. Very good resturants and some great beaches. Would return to Peaceful Paradise any time in the future.

Roger, Kathie and I wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your condo with us. On our last day it was really hard to say goodbye, and I have to say your pictures do not do the condo justice...your place is outstanding! We hope to plan another trip in the near future, and we will be booking with you. Thank You, Kathie & Jon

Hi Roger, thank your for our perfect stay at your condo. We are just sitting on the lanai beside the green faiway. The condo is a home away from home, nothing is missing we found a welcome present bag on the kitchen counter with macadamia nuts, Kona Coffee..., ! We love the quiet location, the nearby beaches, the great boogie boards and snorkle equipment (we don't swallow water anymore), the clean and tasteful interior, the huge TV, everything, It's so nice coming home after another great sunset. Thanks a lot, we want to come back as soon as possible. Mahalo Karin and Rolf, Chris and Mike

Fantastic Condo in great location

Guest: Livermore CA Family (Livermore, CA)
Date of Stay: 07/12/10 Review Submitted: 08/04/10

We loved staying at this lovely condo. It was decorated very nicely and was very clean. We are a family of 5 so it was so nice to have two bathrooms. The condo is new, so everything is in excellent condition. Roger has everything you need to go to the beach, chairs, boogie boards, towels, ice chests, snorkling gear,and umbrellas. The location is fantastic, you can walk to shopping, restaurants, starbucks, and a beach. It is also 10 min drive to 2 other great beaches, Hapuna, and Mauna Kea. We would highly recommend this condo.

Beautiful getaway

Guest: Lovemonkeys (New York, NY)
Date of Stay: 05/08/10 Review Submitted: 05/19/10

We had a wonderful week staying here. The condo was spacious, well appointed and comfy. We spent every night here cooking, drinking and sitting on the lanai enjoying the breeze other than the 2 nights of the wedding that we were here for. The place is perfectly located between most of the best beaches. Everything you need you can get very close by. The owner gave us tons of well-informed suggestions for where to go and what to do.

Perfect Condo for a Perfect Vacation!

Guest: red ink art (Denver, Colorado)
Date of Stay: 04/29/10 Review Submitted: 05/12/10

This is an amazing property and the perfect place to stay in Waikoloa. The quality and condition is unmatched, the location beautiful, the ground floor unit perfectly situated on the golf course surrounded by a garden of hibiscus and palms. The space immaculate and beautifully furnished - everything we could possibly need was provided, including beach towels and gear. The Queen's and King's Shopping areas are within walking distance and have just about everything and the beach only a 5 minute drive away. The garage was a pleasant surprise and an ideal fit for our rental and the pool a fun near-by respite from the sandy beach. The owner was extremely helpful, responding within hours of my initial email inquiry and after each communication thereafter. His directions and instructions clear and concise and his on-site management team keeps the condo beautiful and visitor ready. We visited other vacation condos of friends who attended the wedding and none of them compared to this unit! Everyone agreed that we had won the prize of best condo in the Waikoloa and Mauna Lani Resort areas. Contact information was shared with all and the hopes of securing this condo for future vacations was gratefully expressed. We will certainly make every attempt to stay in this particular Waikoloa Beach Villa in the years to come - it was truly perfect!

Anniversary Vacation

Guest: Mark and rg (Sacramento)
Date of Stay: 04/08/10 Review Submitted: 05/12/10

Your condo certainly met all of our needs coming to Hawaii. This is our 2nd time in Waikoloa and our 25th time to the islands. Your condo is by far the best one we have rented in all the islands. The beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers were so convenient to use, as were the beach towels. Everything we could have wanted in the condo to feel pampered was available for us to use. From the luxurious bath soaps to all the spices and condiments in the kitchen, it was perfect. We really enjoyed sitting on the lanai, sipping wine and watching the sun set in the evenings. We enjoyed walking to the shops and the beach, and just people watching. This condo is perfect for families, singles, couples. There is always something to do or to see, I can't believe all the turtles we saw sunbathing on the beaches. Every beach we went to, turtles! Speaking of beaches, there are so many in close proximity to the condo, "A" beach, the beach at Mana Lani, Hapuna Beach, and all the other little beaches up and down the coast. Thanks for a very wonderful anniversary stay

Honeymoon Retreat

My husband and I spent our Honeymoon at your condo. It was the perfect place following months of wedding plannig, rehersals, etc. We enjoyed the quietness and serenity of the complex. Many of our wedding guests stayed at the Hilton and could not believe how much nicer our condo. was (at about half the price as a hotel room). Needless to say your condo. will always have a special place in our hearts and we hope to come back next year for our first anniversary!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your vacation home. Thank you for having all of those special amenities that are often not included; the large lcd tvs, beach equipment, and kitchen appliances were all appreciated. Our family enjoyed sitting out on the lanai at sunset to catch the colorful Hawaiian sunset skies.We definitely will be coming back again next year! Mahalo.
