Oceanview Condo, Art-Filled And Fully Renovated Special Holiday Discount

Enjoy contemporary sophistication in a tropical setting from our top-floor, corner oceanview condo in the Waikoloa Beach Resort on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Sunlight fills the space and the lanai faces west, providing a shaded breakfast area as the day blossoms, and fantastic sunsets as the evening breezes rise. Simply put, this is the Vista's best view.

Inside, you'll experience a level of luxurious and harmonious design rarely found in vacation rentals. High-end integrated appliances in the kitchen; a Split King bed in the Principal Bedroom with Winkbed hybrid mattresses and independent, remotely-adjustable bases; the Guest Bedroom platform King has an Ikea Sultana foam mattress and memory foam topper; you'll find natural fiber bedding, down and foam pillows throughout; a stand-alone spoon tub and two walk-in rainshowers in the baths, which also feature large-format ceramic tile; two HDTVs, including a 65" smart tv and a gorgeous sound system all conspire to relax and indulge the guest.

A floor plan with generous public spaces (1611 square feet total, including 341 square feet of exterior living space on the lanai) makes sharing good times easy--at the breakfast counter, at the dining table, chilling on the plush sectional sleeper or chaise in the living room, or on the lanai's designer chaises or dining table. The plan allows for bay views from the kitchen, the master bedroom and the living room, as well as the lanai. We want you to feel at home: you are welcome in all areas of the condo, save for a fifth closet and two locking drawers which are set aside for the owners' property.

We brought the kitchen and baths back to their framing and down to the slab, and then rebuilt to our ideal. These lavishly and thoughtfully appointed rooms complement our earlier upgrades to the bedrooms and living areas.

The Vista Waikoloa is renowned for its 3.5-foot-deep, 25-yard salt lap pool with two adjacent spas. A barbecue pavilion and a well-equipped workout room are on the grounds. The Vista is a charter development of the Waikoloa Beach Resort, and so enjoys some its most-favored frontage, across the drive and between the Hilton Waikoloa and the Waikoloa Beach Marriott. The beach at A-Bay and the restaurants of the King's and Queen's Shops are just a 10 minute walk away.

This tiny pocket of the Kohala Coast enjoys the best weather on the islands: with less than 10 inches of rain annually, the winds and water are often calm in the morning, giving way to refreshing breezes in the evening as the cool descends from Mauna Kea and spills into the Maui Channel. Temperatures commonly top out at 83 degrees F (27C) Sept-May, and 86 degrees F (29C) June-August, before the breezes descend in late afternoon.

We are within a fifteen-minute drive of the state's loveliest beaches: Hapuna, A-Bay, Kauna'oa Beach at the Mauna Kea and the Mauna Lani's sheltered bay. There may be some winter surf at these beaches, and we have a couple of boogie boards ready for use on the lanai. We also supply coolers, beach chairs and snorkeling set-ups for our guests.

The abundance of sea life on the Kona Coast makes the island a world-class dive and snorkeling destination. If you are visiting between December and April, the whales may be in during your stay — look for mother-calf pairs cavorting in A-Bay while you enjoy your breakfast on the lanai.

One of the Big Island's many pleasures is its innocence -- beyond the resort areas, it's far less cosmopolitan than Oahu or Maui, and far less traveled. You can make a day of discovering little beaches to call your own, you can get out in the country and be with real people very quickly, and there are many sacred sites to visit -- it's a more spiritual, less commercial Hawai'ian experience. There's still plenty of Old Hawai'i here.

It's also incredibly diverse, geographically: with 8 of the planet’s climate regions represented, you can almost pinpoint the transition from 'dry side' / Kona lava field to 'wet side' / Hilo rain forest as you venture afield.

A301 is an ideal base from which to explore the incredible diversity of the Big Island. You'll probably want a rental car, and might need AWD or 4WD if you choose to off-road and explore some of the more remote beaches or challenging mountain roads.

After a day of diving with the garden eels off the Kona Coast, or sunning and snorkeling at Hapuna Beach or tidepooling at Puako, or playing 18 holes at the Makani Golf Club course, you'll want to raise the perfect Mai Tai and share the magic as you savor the sunset from our large, wraparound lanai.

A beautiful spot for romance, retreat or recharging, please consider Vista Waikoloa A301.

Longer-term guests should ask about the availability of The Blissmobile, our 5-seat SUV, for use during your time at A301.
