You deserve the best for your vacation on the Big Island! Kolea is the only beach-front residential community in the Waikoloa Beach Resort. Luxury accommodations with views of the ocean along Anaeho’omalu Bay (A-Bay) on the Kohala coast will allow you a slice of paradise to relax and enjoy the aloha spirit. Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath villa in the private, gated community of Kolea has been furnished with beautiful Hawaiian woodwork and art. Our meticulously kept unit features a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, African mahogany trim, and a fully equipped kitchen to prepare your private meals.

You can sit down and enjoy the warm tropical breeze and awesome views of A-bay. You can even look on the other side of the lanai for a view of Mauna Kea. The Kolea Beach Club, exclusively for owners and guests of Kolea, has an infinity pool, hot tub, sand pool with waterfall, towel service, and an exercise room. From the beach club, you can walk right through to the ancient royal fishing ponds to the beach at A-bay.

Our family of 5 had a great stay. The unit was clean, spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. The beach towels and cooler were very helpful. The pool was peaceful and relaxing and steps from the beach. Communication with the owner/manager was responsive and accommodating. Overall a relaxing day and enjoyable vacation.

Our family loved staying at the condo. It was very comfortable and we enjoyed everything about it. The owners have thought through everything you would need. The lanai was probably our favorite part. Waking up everyday to a view to drink our coffee was terrific. We also enjoyed grilling a few dinners. The sunsets from the beach were spectacular. My girls loved the pool. Very nice pool with great lounge chairs. The quality of the condo unit and landscaping was very nice! Also, great location with shops and dining close by.

We have stayed at Kolea many times and we always return! This area has it all.

Nice place, will stay again!

Fantastic unit and location. Close to everything you need (beach, shopping, restaurants). Our three little kids loved it and made good use of the provided beach toys. Even during peak travel season it was never too busy at the pool or beach. I'll definitely be back to this unit. Don't hesitate, this is the perfect spot on the big island.

Beautiful property and wonderful location walking distance t to the calm water sandy beach. We had some issues with bugs in the kitchen but the owner and property manager were very responsive.

Stayed at this property with my husband, toddler and infant. Perfect for family with small children. Tall ceilings and nice furnishings/appliances. Very comfortable beds. Well equipped for both toddler (floaties and kitchen utensils) and infant (high chair and pack n play), which was much appreciated! The pool area was quiet and great for families with young kids. Short walk to the beach if you want. We separately rented a wagon/pool toys to transport things down to the pool and it was super easy. Agreed with other reviewers that the building is hard to find due to lack of signage in the complex. Will definitely try to stay here again on our next visit!

The condo was absolutely perfect for 4 adults. It had everything we needed. The management person was easy to get in touch with and very helpful.

If you want to be close to a beach yet have a stunning place to hang out poolside, this is the place for.you. comfortable beds and super clean.
The only thing I can fault this unit for is on hot days the air conditioner doesn't quite keep cool enough in the spare bedroom for sleeping, there is a fan which helps. We never opened the lanai doors for that reason. We rented a golf cart and really enjoyed cruizin' all over in it.

This is a great property, beautifully appointed, with pool and beach just a few minutes walk away. It has everything you need with all the little details covered. The Owner is very responsive. I would definitely book this again.

Overall, wonderful stay in Kolea 15E. The place was immaculate and we really appreciated all of the supplies in the garage to facilitate our stay (chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, cooler, etc.). The view was perfect, there was a short walk to a beautiful beach, and our local contact Dani was really responsive when we needed. Thank you!

It was a bit of a challenge first finding the condo. (I didn’t realize it was in building 15.) Dani, the property manager, was totally available and gave us the guidance we needed to find it. Once we found it, wow! The place was immaculate and impressive. The communal pool and hot tub were great to visit and overlooked an amazing view of palms and the ocean. Great beach access. It was a wonderful base for our time on the Big Island. Walking distance to shops.
4.7
Totally relaxing, excellent property and location. A bit of a hike to the beach, but manageable. The arrival was a bit tough as it was difficult to find the correct building because the signage is small. Overall, excellent weather, property and a great time.

Our travels to the Big Island were exhausting and finding our way to the condo was frustrating after dark. However, when we woke up the next morning and sat on the lanai, had breakfast and listened to the tropical birds singing, we decided that it was all worth it. The photos of the unit and description of the amenities are all accurate. The resort area surrounding the condo is lush and beautiful. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping opportunities right in the resort so you don't have to drive far if you don't want to. Everything is first class. We had a few minor maintenance items like burned out light bulbs that were taken care of by the property management people immediately. We did arrive after sunset and did have trouble finding the unit. The lavish resort gets pretty dark at night. The gate keypad that is normally illuminated, was not and we had to use a flashlight to find it. There are small signs indicating the building numbers but they use subdued colors and are hard to find and read after dark. Once at building 15, take the elevator to the second floor. Exit right to unit 15E. The lock box is not at the door of the unit. Find it around the corner where the steps are located. Good luck reading the numbers on the lock box as they are shiny chrome in a dark area. Using a flashlight created a glare that makes reading the numbers almost impossible. The parking stall is located just around the corner from building 15. It is marked but very difficult to read the "E" after dark. It is about the middle of the stall area. Once you get into the condo and get settled, life starts getting great again. We had a wonderful time while there and would go back in a heart beat.

We are a family of 5 and had an absolutely perfect stay at Kolea Waikoloa. The condo was spotless and so well equipped. The area is fantastic with easy access to great restaurants shops grocery stores excursions. We would definitely stay there again! Highly recommended.

A spacious, well equipped 2BR, 2 BA with great views and beach access. Comfortable beds, up to date kitchen and beautiful lanai. Plus the beach club with an infinity pool, hot tub all within a short walking distance (less than 5 minutes). That doesn't even count all the amenities of Waikoloa and the A-Bay access. What a wonderful condo and stay on the Big Island.

Very comfortable and clean and nicely furnished. Enjoyed the area and amenities as we traveled out for day adventure and returned to relax by the pool and enjoy the sunsets on the beach just a 5 minute walk from the villa.

Definitely will come back and rent this condo again. Thank you Sandy!
4.7
The location was amazing! The condo was so clean, convenient and beautiful! Sandy was so easy to communicate with and very accommodating when we asked for early check in. The pool and spa on the grounds is stunning and the beach is steps away from the unit. The Marriott is right next door so you are able to enjoy live music, food and drinks if you choose. I hope to go back soon!
4.7
Great location, easy access, good pool and beach access amenities, close to supermarket and shops, and nicely appointed (except for carpeting in bedrooms that could use a refresh perhaps). It was also mostly super quiet except when children staying at condo above were running around in mornings.

Amazing stay
We had an amazing stay. The property was clean and provided all the amenities we needed for our stay. On our next visit to Waikoloa we’ll definitely want to stay in 15E again.

Perfect place to stay!
This was our first time staying at Kolea and this unit was perfect for us! We enjoyed the amazing view, loved the short walk to the pool and beach and even the shops nearby. The place was beautifully decorated and had all of the amenities in the kitchen you would need to make a home cooked meal. Bedrooms were cozy and plenty of towels provided, even some for the beach! We would love to stay here again.
On a personal note, we accidentally left a small baby blanket underneath the kids' bed and the local host was so quick to respond and graciously returned it to us via mail! We had been so heartbroken we had left it behind but Dani made sure we got it back. Such amazing customer service! Thank you again Dani.

We could not have had a nicer experience. It was our first time on the Big Island and we met up with friends who live in Hilo. For both them and ourselves Kolea was a tranquil escape- we couldn’t have been happier and hope to return again. The location, the views, and the conveniences were sublime. We had a truly lovely stay and can’t recommend it enough.
Thank you! We’ll be back!

We love the location of this villa which is so close to amazing beaches for swimming and snorkeling, and a 5 minute walk to beautiful A Bay. It was so nice to have basic amenities included, the view from the lanai was gorgeous, and the beds were very comfy. We will definitely stay here again!

We have been coming to the Big Island, specifically Waikoloa Beach, for many years. There are many nice places to stay, for sure. This was the first time we’ve stayed in the Kolea sub division. Our condo was very nice and comfortable. The view from the lanai was fantastic (exactly as described, no photo tricks). We were only steps away from the beach and pool. And only a very short walk to shopping and dining. For us the location was perfect and the condo was very comfortable. It was an absolute pleasure staying here and we look forward to staying again during our next visit (already booked).
