About this villa rental
Call for our Introductory Special Pricing
This Luxury Property…
This unit is a luxurious, new, airy, light-filled 3-BR, 2 BA ground floor end-unit villa with sophisticated tropical Asian decor, lots of windows, and all the high-tech amenities a person could possibly want!
This Gorgeous Setting …
Located on the exclusive Kohala Coast of the Big Island, Kolea at Waikoloa Beach Resort is a brand new gated condo community; it is the most luxurious condo community in Waikoloa Beach Resort, and the only development with direct beach access.
The condo is just a two minute walk to Anaeho’omalu Bay, where water sports await you: snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing, kite boarding, glass bottom boat tours, sunset cruises, and of course swimming! A-Bay, as it is known by those of us who are tongue- tied, is a great beach for family fun and can't be beat for the variety of activities available and for convenience.
More adventurous? Want to ride the waves? Take a short 10 minute drive up the road to Hapuna Beach State Park and enjoy what some consider to be one of the best beaches in the United States if not the world. Go out and hop in the surf with your Boogie Board. Catch a wave under the majestic snow-capped Mauna Kea. It's an experience you will never forget! The boogie boards are in the car park storage for your use.
Got a little more time? Why not take the family on a drive around the island. Hawaii is the most diverse of all the Hawaiian islands. You will never get bored! I recommend a convertible if you can all fit. It's the best way to experience all the sensations of the place, the breeze, the fragrances, the stars. Convertible! Either way you will have a blast driving along Highway 250. Take a drive up to Waimea and then cut over highway 250 to Hawi. You are above the clouds looking down on the Pacific. Bring a sweater because the altitude makes it a totally different experience from what you would expect in Hawaii. Think Switzerland with sandy beaches and volcanic rock!
Have an extra day or two? You can not miss the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park! If you can swing it, stay a night down at the Volcano House lodge, overlooking the crater! The place is so awesome that you really cannot cover it in a day if you want to go for hikes in the park. On the way home you will want to stop at the waterfalls along the way. Or South Point. Or the black sand beaches. The views are spectacular the whole way!
Kolea is located between the Marriott Waikoloa Beach Hotel and the Hilton Waikoloa Hotel, and near the Kings Shops, and newly opened Queens Shops. Fine dining, and shopping abounds. Free entertainment and family activities, such as ukulele contests and hula lessons, are an almost daily feature at the Kings shops: be sure to pick up a calendar upon arrival. Two championship golf courses are a short drive away. Stay at our condo and you will also get the member's rate of $50 on golf at the Waikoloa Resort Kings Course and $75 at the Beach Course. And you can just use my clubs -- they are in the storage locker in front of the car park.
You will have a great time! Your family will love this place!

The condo was as presented on VRBO. Very well a portioned in the kitchen. Towels and linens were plenty full. Washer and dryer worked fine. Very nice pool area very short walk to pool and ocean. Had a couple small issues Ben took care of them. The only issue that didn’t get taken care of was the icemaker in the refrigerator never worked. There was a small portable icemaker, but it really wasn’t enough for a family of seven. When I emailed Robert for questions and or concerns he was very prompt and always very helpful. I would stay here again.
4.9
The place was beautiful, comfortable, and quiet. We really appreciated having beach chairs, umbrellas and towels available for our daily excursions. Being a walk away from dining and shopping was also a plus. This was an even better experience than staying at one of the hotel resorts.
4.9
There is a reason we keep coming back -- the location is spectacular, the condo is perfect for our needs, the amenities wonderful, the beach amazing and the host responsive.

This was the perfect location for our 5 year old granddaughter's birthday staycation! It had more than enough room for 4 adults and birthday girl. The home is beautiful. The beds were comfy and the kitchen fully equipped. The large shower and deep tub were especially popular. We were happy to find the little things, like the stool in the bathroom cabinet and baby high chair if needed, made it convenient for little ones. The landscaping is beautiful with fragrant flowers in abundance. An awesome view of Mount Hualalai welcomed us from the living room window. The corner unit location is great and is just a few steps away from covered parking. Just a very short walk away is the welcoming infinity pool with the warm blue ocean of 'Anaeho'omalu Bay a few steps beyond. Just perfect! Nearby you'll be able to find everything you need from groceries to clothing to sunscreen or fine jewelry at either the Queen's Marketplace or the King's Shops. Very convenient. If you're looking for a perfect place to relax this is it! You'll see others on the property including kiddos yet it is not crowded or noisy. It felt very private and safe. Our host Bob responded quickly to any questions I had. I found it very warming that he reached out on the morning of our stay to check if we were ready. That was thoughtful and welcoming. My grandbaby has already planned for future birthdays at Kolea!! Thank you Bob for letting us stay in your home.

Beautiful, immaculate and great location. The owner is fantastic. He truly wanted us to have great time by constantly updating us on best things and places to see.
Definitely worth every single dollar. I will definitely stay here when I return. Thank you

I have done Lavaman for about 10 years now and this is my absolute favorite place to stay. Never disappoints.

We enjoyed this comfortable condo with A-Bay access within a short walk and covered parking for our car. It had all the beach toys we needed and having a private outdoor patio and grill was a bonus. I have to say the dryer booster was very loud, but once we were done with laundry, it wasn't a problem. Thank you for hosting us!

Two active couples enjoyed the beauty of the island as we celebrated our 70th birthdays. The villa accommodated us beautifully and was in a great location to many other attractions. Everything in the villa was clean and well appointed. The owner was very thorough and attentive, even offered us the use of his golf clubs and his golf membership. We stayed for 6 nights and hated to leave.
4.9
The location of this property was ideal - so close to the beautiful pool area, A Bay, walking trails, golf courses, shops and dining. The communication from the owner was great. Nice beach gear to use and a great lanai with outdoor kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
4.9
Kolea is one of the best resorts to stay in Waikoloa with great access to the ocean and short walking distance to shops and services. Excellent pool facilities with towel service.
Our condo unit was excellent with prompt attention and service from the owner. Having your own barbecue on the lanai is a real bonus as we enjoyed dinners outside every night. Looking forward to staying again next year.
4.9
This property was really nice. As soon as we went in, we just loved everything. The location is perfect right on the beach, the community pool was really beautiful, and the home has all necessary amenities you would need. We enjoyed the stay a lot. Thank you!

I have been a regular visitor to Hawaii since 1988 but my sisters have not ever been here. The condo was perfect for them. Beautiful home with easy walk to the beach. It was the perfect place to introduce them to Hawaii
4.9
This place was perfect for our family of 5: Husband and I, twin 6 yr olds + my mom. So comfortable and spacious, with updated amenities. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Proximity to the pool with a great view of the sunset by the beach. Husband and I could do our morning workout swims in the bay easily. Pool was nice (though a tad bit warm), having pool towels there was a bonus. The condo itself provided enough beach and bath towels. Huge washing machine which helped for our family.
Definitely would recommend this to other families who need all the comforts of a holiday stay in Hawaii!
4.9
Property was beautiful. Great location. Had a slight problem with the linens. Two of the beds were not made and a pile of bed linens were on the floor by the laundry room waiting to be washed. We contacted the owner and he was very responsive and contacted the cleaners. We dropped off our luggage and left to get groceries. When we returned everything was in order. We enjoyed our stay!!
4.9
Bob ( owner) was very responsive and the property was in great condition. The unit has every cooking utensil you need and has plenty of beach equipment. Kolea is in a great location and a short walk to both the Hilton & Marriot properties and also the local King & Queens market. We would definitely stay here again.
4.9
What a great way to experience our first trip to the big island! This condo is in the perfect location for a family of all ages. We walked to the grocery store and lots of shopping and restaurants at King’s and Queens. The unit is right across the street from the pool and beach that has rentals for snorkeling, paddle boarding and kayak’s. It’s on the dry side of the island which we all liked. The owner was always immediately responsive with any questions. The unit itself was very clean and perfect for our family of five. I would absolutely stay there again!
4.9
Great place, great host. Close to beach and markets and shopping. The pool is great. We will stay here again, highly recommended.

We have been to the Big Island almost 20 times and it never disappoints! This was our first time at Kolea and we really enjoyed it. The complex is very nice and the pool/spa overlooking A-Bay is very special, and the short walk to A-Bay and the Kings and Queens shops is great. Very central to everything. The condo was also really nice - very comfortable for our family of 4 plus in-laws (6 total). There is a large lanai with a table and chairs for 6, with grill, etc. Communication with the owner Robert was also wonderful, and we even borrowed his golf clubs and took advantage of his membership at the golf club to get big golf discounts. We will definitely be back!
4.9
This property was very clean, great location to A-Bay. The property itself was very spacious. Has variety of amenities for the beach. Centrally located. Owner was easy to reach. Great place we will definitely book this place again!

Beautiful unit, wonderful location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Property is holding up very nice being 17-20 years old. My company did all the woodwork and doors on this project, and it still is just beautiful and well maintained.
Pool is great and the beach is just a short walk.
Marriott next door is great for happy hour.
Hilton to the north was a big disappointment,
Overall a must for a bucket list

We had a great stay! Kolea has the perfect location in Waikoloa and Robert was an excellent host.

The property and grounds are gorgeous. Short walk to the beach. The Hilton offers a sunset sail that takes off from this beach so you can drink and no one has to drive!
4.9
This was a beautiful place. Gourmet kitchen, cozy furniture, close to good snorkeling and walking distance to entertainment and shopping/dining. The interaction with the owner was excellent. Clear instructions and communicative. The closet with beach accoutrements was terrific! Nice snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, floaties- very convenient to have right there. Thank you!

Perfect!
This rental is luxurious and exceedingly clean. The floorplan is exquisite with tons of light and airflow. Did I mention how clean it is? Everything is in perfect working order and the host is fantastic and responsive. The build and materials are top notch, wonderful smooth operating doors and cabinets and windows… Luxurious bathrooms and so many wonderful lighting options. The swim and beach club is super mellow and easy to use with the keycard. Towels supplied at the club are thick and luxurious. Staff at the club is wonderful. Location is excellent with shopping at restaurants in walking distance, yet no feeling of hustle bustle at the residences, just perfect quiet sweet Hawaiian air. The sand bottom keiki pool it’s fantastic and we all had an amazing time. Oh and the beach is so incredibly sweet, warm water gently lapping tiny little waves, perfect for any level of swimmer. We are already planning our return!

Wonderful property in a fabulous setting.
My family and I enjoyed a brief stay in this property at the end of a multi-island trip to Hawaii. We were very happy with the proximity to Kona airport. Well appointed condo with a wonderful outside living area. Walking distance to beach and well appointed with beach equipment. The assigned parking spot was a nice touch, no looking for an empty spot. THe resort is very relaxing and quiet
4.9
Wonderful stay!
The condo is beautiful, spacious and clean! The location is ideal. Very close to the beach, pool and nearby shopping. Loved being on the ground floor and using the lanai and grassy lawn for playtime with the kids.
The condo had everything we needed and more!
