Aloha. . . . . We stayed from 8-14-11 to 8-24-11 This was our second stay in this unit, that's how much we love it. This time we brought our two daughters and two grandchildren with us. There was a pack & play for our 16 month old granddaughter to sleep in along with a stroller and car seat if we needed them. There was more than enough room for all of us to sleep,eat and to spread out. We had a beautiful view of the golf course, Mauna Loa & Mauna Kea right outside the lanai doors. There is everything in the unit that you can possibly need or want to enjoy your stay. The property is well maintained and close to restaurants, shopping and beaches. There is a full size washer and dryer in the unit so you don't have to overpack. We went to several beaches that were close by and easy to get to and safe for the kids to play and snorkel in the water. The condo's pool is a few short steps away as well as the workout room and barbeques. Andrea was so helpful with our questions as was Anna in the rental office. I-we definately recommend this property for your stay on the Big Island. We hope to go back again next year-but for a longer stay. While we were there we celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful dinner at Eddie Aikea restaurant in the King's Marketplace. My grandson didn't want to leave. We all had a wonderful fun filled vacation. Aloha and Mahalo Andrea

My Family and I (2 Teens, Hubby and I) stayed in this WONDERFUL Condo for 12 days this March/April. Andrea was very kind and answered all our questions, prior to arriving to the BI, within 24 hours. We knew when we entered her gorgeous condo that we had a special place. We live in a large home, so we need a large vacation rental...and everything was PERFECT. Clean, with TONS of beach towels, guide books, snorkel gear, beach umbrella; Andrea supplies all the goodies! We soooo loved our stay! Our only regret is that we could not stay longer. I would inquire about this condo again, in a heart beat! Mahalo for everything, Andrea! Till next time! :)

My husband, his parents and I stayed here in October and we were all delighted with the condo. As part of a wedding group, we had the opportunity to visit several other units, and I have to say that "ours" was the nicest - the furnishings are elegant and chic. The condo has a well-equipped kitchen, a party-sized master bathroom, and lots of useful extras like coolers for the beach, snorkel equipment, and guide books. Parking is an absolute breeze, right outside the elevator and staircase. From bed, every morning, Wayde and I watched the sun rise over Mauna Kea, and then we all enjoyed our Kona coffee and breakfast of fresh local fruit on the lanai. Pure relaxation! Nights were absolutely quiet, and the condo was peaceful by day, too - although we spent most of our time out exploring or hanging out on nearby beaches. Thanks again, Andrea!

This is an update - We have our reservation for this summer. We are returning to your condo and we can't wait. Original 9/16/2005 entry: Hi Andrea. we're the family that stayed in your condo on 8/5-8/19. I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay in your condo. it was new, clean, great location, had everything we needed and lots of room for the four of us. we walked over to the waikoloa shops many times because it was so convenient - the parking at the shops could get very crowded. we have to say that it was the very best condo that we have stayed in in Hawaii. i just wanted to thank you for representing your condo truthfully in your listing. next time we go to the big island we will definitely check your condo first to see if it is available. thanks for making our vacation comfortable and fun.

We adored Waikoloa Beach Resort. The unit is perfect - and everything is close by. Have breakfast on the deck and spend teh day at Mauna Kea Beach is the most beautiful beach on Hawaii. Hapuna Beach is close by. Make sure you do the walk to Waipu valley and take a picnic. For the best snorkelling, take a kayak to Cooks Monument. Of course then there's the Lava. perhaps we shoudl keep the secret.

Last time I came to the Big Island, I rented a house. I want to say that my visit this time, staying at this spacious and elegant condo, was so much more enjoyable thanks to the well thought-through amenities of this particular rental. Some really nice things: It's on the top floor and on the end so it's very quiet; parking space is by the walkway so you're not sandwiched between cars when loading/unloading gear; unit is situated conveniently close to the gym, pool, jacuzzi and most importantly BBQs (you might not use these if they were further away); and last but not least, the unit's tasteful and uncluttered furnishings: after sun and fun filled days out at the beach and seeing the island's sights, coming back to the peaceful simplicity of this graceful condo really added to the enjoyment of my vacation. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place with us, I highly recommend it as the place to stay on the Big Island! Rolanda Los Angeles, California

Beautiful condo that is well furnished and very well maintained--it felt like home away from home. It's also in a great location and has pretty scenery from the lanai. Highly recommend this condo--we'll stay there again when we return to the Big Island.

Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at your gorgeous condo and we appreciated your being flexible about letting us stay 5 days instead of 7. Although, after we got there - I really wished we had booked the place for 2 weeks! The condo was very beautiful - lots of classy upgrades. I loved the oriental decor. We were very appreciative of having free internet. Great location and just a dang nice place to relax and feel pampered. Mahalo big time!

What an absolutely gorgeous condo and the perfect location! We loved the gated community with the outdoor pool, fitness center, and gas bbq grills. The condo was immaculate, had all the conveniences of a house, and made us feel as if we were royalty in a 5-star hotel. We swam and snorkeled at almost every beach within just a few minutes of the condo and loved the upscale stores at King's Shopping Center! This is the perfect condo for couples on a romantic Hawaiian getaway, as well as families on vacation. Thank You!

Thank you for making your condo such a lovely island retreat. You thought of so many details that crown your vacation rental making it a royal experience! Even providing lovely dishes with an Asian flare to serve meals on! From the flat screen TV, to the quality pots and pans...it felt like a home away from home immediately! What a relief to finally have a computer and not be charged by the minute to use it like at the resorts we stayed at! And we were so impressed and grateful that you left your storage closet available with snorkel gear and even a boogie board! You thought of everything... Loved the location, loved the views, loved the soft comfy king size bed. Even loved how the wind blew in and created a wonderful tropical breeze! One day we sat out on the lanai and on the next lanai over there was a local guy playing his ukelele and singing with the most gorgeous voice. It was heaven sitting out there with the views, breeze, and the trees swaying in time with his angelic voice. It was a lovely lovely time there. We will always check your availabilty first in the future! In three words...No ka oi! Blessings and many thanks... Aloha, Robyn

Owner response:Robyn, Thanks for your generous comments! It makes me happy to know that our guests have enjoyed Hawaii and the condo. Andrea Szeto
