We’ve made countless visits to Hawaii over the years and while we’ve stayed mostly at hotels, we have rented condos on two occasions. When we stayed at this condo, we had a whole new appreciation for condo vacationing in Hawaii. Especially THIS condo!

The location of the Kolea complex itself in Waikoloa is nearly ideal. Every place we wanted to go in Waikoloa was within walking distance for us. We especially enjoyed the selection at the new grocery store and restaurants in the Queens Marketplace. For years we’ve enjoyed the shopping and free, live, local music & dancing in the evenings at the King’s Shops. It too was a short walk from 16B.

Probably the most enjoyable short walk for us was to the Kolea Ocean Club Pool and ‘A-Bay’, just a stone’s throw from the pool. ‘A-Bay’ offers perhaps the nicest beach experience in the Waikoloa area with its calm, protected waters, sandy beach and abundant marine life.

The condo itself offered many luxury options that were never available to us at resorts we’ve stayed at. First the condo was so spacious and lavishly funished that we really felt at home. We had the options of cooking indoors in the well equipped kitchen or outside on the large lanai using the Viking BBQ. I loved the fact that in the early morning I could enjoy my coffee on the lanai in my pajamas.

Although other people were staying in neighboring condo units, we never heard a sound from any of them. This condo was very quiet.
Although it was just the two of us, we both felt that it could comfortably accommodate 6 people. Our bed was comfortable and the bathroom spacious. When we have the opportunity to return to Hawaii we are planning on staying in this unit again!
Mahalo Nui Loa for allowing us to stay in in your hale (home).
