A great way to spend time with family on Hawaii

This is the second time this year we booked a vacation rental in Waikoloa and we fell in love with the units and the area. Our unit was in perfect condition, very clean and wondeerful amenities which included a Bose Sound system that was amazing and we really enjoyed. I was there with three little boys, aged 6, 7, and 9 and they had so much room to play and enjoy their stay.

The pool was just across from this unit and is a real bonus. The view from the unit is breathtaking with views of the mountain and golf course. The unit itself had a lot of beach toys and Phillipa and Kelli were amazing, arranging to get an X-Box for the kids and arranged t ohave 2 bikes for us there. They just made sure that we had everything we neeeded and made our stay perfect. We will never stay in a hotel again when in Hawaii!

Luxurious Waikoloa Condo!

We've rented many condos on our trips to Hawaii, but this one was the best! Great location to Hapuna Beach, Dolphin Quest, eating and shopping. the condo is beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. I will definitely recommend to friends.

Kid Friendly!!

We really enjoyed ur stay at L3. It was very comfortable and very kid-friendly. The owners had kids toys for th pool, condo, and puzzles and books. My 2 kids (ages 5 and 3) were thrilled! Lots of room for kids to play just off the paio in a grassy area, and the pool is a very short distance from the condo. The pool was wonderful - we stayed there most of the time!

Waikoloa Beach Villas Unit F-32

Shawn and Andrea's vacation home in the Waikoloa Beach Villas was a great choice for our Big Island Hawaiian vacation! Near the Hilton and Marriott Resorts, we loved the advantage of staying on the Waikoloa resort grounds. We discovered the white, sandy beach close to the resort. We walked to shopping and restaurants, which offered lots of choices in fine dining, take away meals and fast food. Plus, there was a Starbucks nearby where we stopped for our morning coffee.

This penthouse condo had great views of the golf course, lake and mountans. When entering the unit, we were impressed with the beautifully decorated, upscale furnishings.

The master bedrooms' king sized bed was probably the most comfortable I've slept on while on vacation! The air conditioning made the unit very comfortable on the warmer Hawaiian days, but we kept cool most of the time by keeping the windows open to enjoy the refreshing cross breeze. The wireless Internet kept us connected throughout the unit and also on the large private lanai. When "eating in", we loved the full gourmet kitchen with all the necessities, especially the lanai and outdoor grill/cooking area.

We enjoyed the inviting pool and hot tub in the middle of the garden-like setting. When venturing out to the beaches, we were glad that the owners provided beach towels, snorkeling gear, and beach chairs (the stuff that's a necessity on any beach outing). Hotels wouldn't have provided these items and we liked having the conveniences of beach gear at our fingertips.

Property owners, Andrea and Shawn were great to work with and had a staff of managers available to us on-site if there was anything we needed. This is truly a wonderful vacation spot!

A Very Enjoyable Stay

We very much enjoyed our stay at our unit. It was very spacious and very nicely setup. The loft space where the futon sofa-bed was located was a perfect place for our kids to stay. They had their own private space to play and sleep. We had a balcony that overlooked the pool area which was easy to access. Groceries, shops, gas station all nearby. No hassles from vacation timeshare staff at all. A truly enjoyable stay!

Ironman 70.3 Hawaii Weekend

We stayed in this beautiful condo with another couple for the weekend of the Ironman 70.3 Hawaii. It was very spacious, comfortable and great to have a fully-stocked kitchen...a much better (and less expensive) alternative to a hotel. It was also very convenient for race-related activities. We would definitely stay again! We had three athletes with bikes, and for that it would have been great to have access to the garage but this didn't prove to be too much of an inconvenience.
