Kolea 15G -- Enhanced Cleaning -- Contactless Check In & Out -- Fast WiFi
NEW! for our great recent addition- Fairways at Mauna Lani Resort home with access to the semi-private beach with an excellent snorkeling, please see the link at the end of this description.
Aloha and welcome to your home away from home in the paradise!
You will find there everything you need for your dream vacation: from very comfy beds to fully equipped kitchen and full set of beach gear and toys.
Sea turtles; beautiful and romantic sunsets on this beautiful property, sweet scent of Plumeria in the air; beaches for every taste, mood and color and bountiful sunshine is awaiting you! :-)
Kolea is a luxury condo complex located in the prime spot of Waikoloa Beach Resort on the sunny Kohala coast of the Big Island of Hawaii; between Marriott and Hilton hotels, just steps away from Anaeho’omalu beach and King Shops. This is the only condo resort in Waikoloa that has a direct, walking access to the beach.
This is considered the sunniest spot in all of the Hawaiian Islands and the weather here is truly dreamy all year round!
This 2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom ground floor condo situated in a great location: there is no building directly in front of the master bedroom and lanai so you enjoy an improved privacy.
Enjoy a spacious, (kid-friendly) grassy area your kids will love, far from the main road and away from busy traffic.
The condo is in building 15 which is very close to both: Anaehoomalu beach and shopping centers: King and Queen.
We have all beach gear you might want: beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, beach towels, cooler and an umbrella.
BOTH bedrooms offer comfortable sleeping arrangements with high-quality mattresses and furniture.
Have sweet dreams on Tommy Bahama King bed with Simmons Beautyrest Elite mattress :-)
The second bedroom has a queen size bed with Island Dreams mattress with luxurious, plush feel.
A portable 'pack-n-play' baby crib is also provided.
Enjoy fully equipped gourmet kitchen, which includes toaster, coffee maker, coffee grinder, blender, tri-ply clad cookware and upscale appliances.
65" Roku TV in the living room; 40" Roku TVs in both bedrooms. Spectrum cable TV app and many more free channels.
In-suite laundry: washer and dryer; detergent is provided
We've removed carpets from the bedrooms as they tend to accumulate dust. We do have a very nice area rug in the living room though.
Check-in and out are very easy (and contactless!), no matter how late you arrive: the entrance door is equipped with a keyless lock (keypad) — enter the number combination that we'll provide, and that's it, you're in! No need to go somewhere to pickup a key and then to return it after check-out.
Parking is FREE. You will NOT pay any additional fees upon arriving, such as resort fees; parking fees and so on.
A/C is designed to be energy efficient without compromising your comfort! It works when all windows, entrance door and lanai door are closed. You have control over temperature from 70°F and up. This ensures a comfortable sleep for overwhelming majority of people (please read reviews!)
Only 250 yards walking distance from our villa to the Beach Club, featuring an infinity pool, sandy pool with waterfall for kids, lava rock Jacuzzi and a fitness room. From there, there is another 180 yards to Anaeho’omalu beach, where you can swim and snorkel in calm water, go kayaking, water biking, surfing, take a glass-bottom boat tour or just relax on the beach enjoying the sun. Kolea is located in the most sunny area of the Big Island! Anaehoomalu beach is also a great place for watching sea turtles. Oh, do not miss sunsets on the A-bay, they are gorgeous!
Waikoloa Beach Golf Course is in about 0.5 mile away.

Kolea is an absolute paradise on the Big Island. An enclave of custom condos right on A-Bay with amazing pool views and a short 3-5 min walk til your toes hit the sand.
The condo is well maintained and stocked with kitchen necessities and beach outing essentials— chairs, towels, umbrella, sand toys, etc.
Communication with the property manager was timely and succinct.
Looking forward to our next stay!

The condo was wonderful, very clean with all the amenities, kitchen utensils, beach gear including portable beach chairs, and snorkel gear. Great communication with the host. Overall, it was a great stay with all the comforts. Highly recommend this property.

This property was ideally located - easy access to beach and pool/fitness center and walking distance to King’s Shops with restaurants/shopping. This was a perfect home base for various island excursions and very convenient to access the Lavaman Triathlon course. The home is clean, comfortable and very well appointed. Appreciated the beach chairs & snorkel equipment! Would stay here again if returning to the Big Island - thank you, Dimitri!

The unit was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the location as it is a just a short walk to the beach and the shops at Waikoloa Beach Resort. Dmitri was wonderful and we would definitely return again in the future.

Kolea 15G is situated in an amazing location within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. The Condo is very luxurious and comes equipped with island necessities such as beach chairs, coolers, and toys. The kitchen is stocked very well for all of your meals, and all beds are extremely comfortable. The lanai is perfect for morning coffee and grilling delicious dinners.
We thoroughly enjoyed the infinity pool with ocean views and the private beach access.
Dmitri is great to deal with, he is prompt on his replies and is happy to address any questions you may have.
Our family is already looking at when we can come back!!

We loved our stay at Kolea and condo 15G. The condo had everything we needed. Beautiful property.

We were traveling with friends and it was our first time to the Big Island! The condo was so great and the beds were comfortable. There was plenty of towels, beach equipment, laundry detergent, dish soap etc for our stay which we really appreciated. (The kitchen could use a garlic press, carrot peeler and a few more stemmed wine glasses).
Having the lanai with our own BBQ was a total bonus and we used it every night. D’Mitrie was very accommodating and easy to deal with! We will be back!
4.9
Great place. Close to everything you need stores restaurants beach and pool. With all the amenities it’s a quiet laid back neighborhood. We were in town for a family wedding down the road and this place was perfect for us.
4.9
Property fit the bill for two couples looking for relaxing visit to Big Island. Thoughtfully landscaped community, good options for both pool and beach, walking distance to Lava Lava Beach Club, short drive to market/dining/shopping. We visited the next-door Hilton for a luau (enjoyed), which reinforced our decision to stay at the more peaceful VRBO. The provided beach equipment supported our excursions to other beaches as well-- but really no need to go elsewhere.
4.9
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property. The condo was beautiful and spacious and had all the amenities you could possibly need. Wonderful pool and beach just a short walk away from the building location. Many shops and restaurants just down the road. Easily walkable location. It was hard to want to leave. We will be back!

The condo is in a great location, very clean and very exactly like the description.

This rental is nestled inside a lovely resort area. The property is clean, beautiful, and convenient. We loved it! 10/10 recommend and would definitely stay there again. The hosts are kind, helpful, and respond quickly.

We stayed for a week at Dmitri's with our two adult children. The accommodations were clean and had many nice items to use at the beach including a cooler, mats, mask/snorkel. etc. Nice beaches nearby to swim and snorkel at. The beach access is close and beaches are good for swimming, etc. I would recommend walking south for a little more privacy and good snorkeling. Dmitri was communicative and check-in check out was very easy and convenient. The pool at the beach club was also very nice and not busy. Overall had a very relaxing stay. Much nicer than larger resorts.
4.9
The condo and the facility were first rate.
The only suggestion that I would make to the owners is to provide a map to the building. We actually had to get out and walk around to find the building itself. The signs in the complex are incomplete/unclear.
Other than that I highly recommend this condo. I have stayed many times in Waikoloa village and this condo was absolutely THE BEST.
4.9
When deciding to book this condo, we wondered how close is it really to the pool and beach? The answer is very close. It's a short walk through a parking lot and across a mellow street. From the condo, there is no view of the water, but it's easy to go and enjoy the scenery at the Beach Club and beach. The pool is an extremely pleasant spot to hang out, especially in the early evening. Property was clean and we enjoyed barbecuing on the lanai. The only suggestion I'd make is for there to be a screen or shading of some kind on the big patio doors/windows since there is a foldout bed right there so clearly sometimes someone will be sleeping there. Overall, this rental is a great choice if you are looking for something lower key than a full-fledged resort, but still want to enjoy some luxury.
4.9
Excellent property for our family. We got locked out of the condo without the key code to get back in. Luckily the pool staff had Dmitry’s number and we used my son’s cell phone to call Dmitry. Dmitry saved the day and got us back in the condo!!
4.9
First off, Dmitri is an excellent communicator and made everything perfect and no surprises.
The condo is spacious and well appointed. The bed is heavenly and we slept well.
Their pool and beach are a very easy walk. The location is really good for shopping and restaurants within a few minutes by car.
We would definitely rent this unit again in the future.

We stayed in this condo in June and absolutely loved it. Very clean. It's location in the Waikoloa area is fantastic. A short walk past beautiful landscaping leads you to the magnificent pool and hot tub. Pool water temp was perfect and the setting was great. You can sit in the pool and see the beach and bay. A short walk from the pool area puts you on the beach. Water was normally very calm and we saw turtles in the water every day. We even saw one on the beach one evening. Condo is also walkable distance to the Kings and Queen's shopping areas where there are shops, restaurants, and a market that has pre-made and made-to-order food. Prices are good and we ate there a lot. This is one of the nicest 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condos I've ever stayed in and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo. The kitchen was very nice and well equipped. A great location, walking distance to many great spots.
4.9
What’s left to be said? We could not have been happier with our stay at this condo. What a beautiful spot with easy, walkable access to just about any amenity and activity we wanted. Such a well-appointed space, too. A truly fantastic kitchen with sharp knives and proper espresso machine. Beautiful pool and view of A-bay, along with evening glow of Mauna Loa over the hot tub!
The only minor suggestions we can think of is a privacy screen for the living room door/window and perhaps shampoo/conditioner for the bathrooms. Dmitri’s communication was excellent, including a prompt heads up regarding the eruption when it occurred while we were there.
Hope we have the opportunity to stay again!

This is a beautifully finished unit in the Waikoloa area. Great access to the pool and the beach which are perfect for families. The unit itself was just as described, clean and spacious, and also well-equiped. There are stores nearby for everything you need while remaining a quiet area away where it’s easy to relax. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay with our in-laws at Dimitri’s condo! It was well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay, including a full kitchen, beach towels, chairs, snorkeling gear, and other helpful gear. The condo itself is well located near the beach club and is just a short walk to the sandy beaches. Great for all ages! Looking forward to coming back soon!

Had such a wonderful time here. Condo and community was perfect for our family of four…from the pool/hot tub to the beach to being able to BBQ at home and walk to dinner nearby. Saw so many turtles. Truly a stunning view even just from the pool! Highly recommend.
