Very nice place and location. The condo was fully stocked with anything needed (one of the best stocked VRBO condos we've stayed at). Communication with the owner was very good and very quick to respond. We had issues with the AC working for one of our nights (very hot during our first night as AC wasn't working), but owner was able to get fixed the next day. Overall the place was clean, however, floors were dirty, the bottom of our feet were black after walking around the place during our first day.

We highly enjoyed our stay at Wai Aloha! It was a quick 10 min walk to A-bay, so nice for sunsets. While the live music was a wonderful welcome at Lava Lava Beach Club, we mostly enjoyed the path around the fishponds (at sunset), and also the coastal foot trail along the water that continues forever in both directions. Having the Queens and Kings Shops nearby was a huge convenience, made for easy dinner plans each night. We also enjoyed running/walking each morning on the winding sidewalks through the entire resort area, as well as the Kings Highway Foot Trail with petroglyph fields - very unique. It is a beautiful area that is well manicured, and everything you need right there!
The condo itself was super comfortable, beautifully decorated (artwork and woods), and well appointed with dishes/appliances, seasonings/spices/condiments, extra personal care items, local books on Hawaii, loads of gear for a day at the beach, etc. We had everything we needed! The king bed was wonderfully comfortable, as were the luxury sheets. The views from the lanais were great, and you don't look directly at anyone else.
Aside from all that, the owner is responsive and very kind, always considerate of your needs/requests. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to soak up a bit more 'Hawaii' on our last day! Thank you so much, and for sharing your beautiful place with us, these memories will stay with us forever!

My family enjoyed the best time here. The condo, located in a prime area, is beautiful, comfortable, well appointed, and spacious. Views from the two expansive lanais are amazing. Great memories were made early each morning when my family would gather on the lanai to sip coffee and enjoy the stunning sunrise over Mauna Kea.
Communication with the owners was excellent. We'll be back next year!

I loved the Hawaiian style furniture. The size of the room was just right.
The only drawbacks were the weak water pressure in the shower and the lack of ocean view.

First trip the the Big Island for the family. Really enjoyed the stay. The condo was nicely decorated and furnished and also has some great artwork. The location is perfect with a short walk or drive to shops, restaurants, and Anaehoomalu Bay AKA "A bay". The condo is well equipped with for those that like to cook. There are beach chairs, towels, umbrellas and boogie boards. The view from the deck is spectacular! I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

I can’t say enough positive things about this condo rental. It is spacious and well laid out and was perfect for our family of four including two teenage kids. The decor is perfect for the location, you truely feel like you’re in a Hawaiian getaway, and not just someone’s house.The kitchen was well stocked with all one could need from dishes, silverware, pots/pans and cooking utensils plus a well stocked pantry, which we took advantage of for several meals. There was an ample supply of towels for use at both the beach and the pool, and the supply of beach gear for use was great. Check in/out procedures were very detailed and well communicated. The location within the Waikaloa Beach is perfect for a relaxing vacation, with enough close by amenities for anything you might need. We would definitely look to rent this condo again if our travels ever take us back to the Big Island.

This is a lovely place with high-end finishes. We have stayed in multiple units in Vista Waikaloa and this was one of the nicest. Pros: Host availability, fantastic shower, beautiful well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bed, great lanai, fantastic location, and everything you could want for a great beach vacation. A few minor cons compared to other units we’ve stayed in: road noise, AC locked at 76, and some extra chores at check-out. Just some feedback for the owners! Thanks for a lovely stay!

My husband and two daughters loved spending 5 nights in this beautiful condo. It is such a short walk to so many things. The beach, Lava Lava Club, shops, restaurants, etc. We had the best time and enjoyed our nights being able to stay in and cook dinner in the beautiful, well stocked kitchen (always grateful for leftover containers!). We hope to visit again! Thank you Megan!

We were lucky enough to spend one month in this beautiful condo and we loved every moment of it! It didn't take long before it felt like a home away from home. Everything from the layout of the condo, the comfort of the furnishings, the appliances and supplies to the swim toys and towels were perfect. Having spent time in Puako before, we found that this location is exactly what we were looking for. Most of our time "at home" was spent on the beautiful lanai, either watching the sunrise or relaxing in the evening. We did our early morning walks on the many trails around the area. The beach was super easy to get to and we visited the stores and restaurants within walking distance. The pool is beautiful and the lounging chairs comfortable.
Our family is so happy we found this place and can't wait to return! Mahalo!

Megan is a good host.She replied promptly to all our queries that we had before booking the property.
The condo is beautifully decorated and has an excellent view from the lanai.The kitchen was well stocked.There were also provisions for the beachgoers.
However, the noise from the grass mowers starting from 6.30am
(The quiet hours are 10pm-8am)may be slightly disturbing for light sleepers in the Master Bedroom.
Thank you, Megan for hosting us.

We had a great time at this property- it was fully stocked and in great condition (special touches like high quality towels, etc). We especially enjoyed the lanai. It is next to a bigger road but it really didn't bother us at all. We ate our meals out there, hung out, and even star gazed. It's about a 10 minute walk to a great beach including snorkeling.
10.0 / 10.0
The most beautiful condo in the most beautiful part of the world with the most amazing hosts (also the owners) that a family of five could’ve asked for. Hands down the most wonderful rental we have ever stayed at. There wasn’t a detail forgotten, from the beach supplies, to the first aid drawer, to the coziest of beds, linens, and towels, to the full stocked kitchen, to the glorious art and decor. Allen and Megan are amazing owners/ hosts and you can tell they love their condo as much as they love sharing it with others. You would’ve never have guessed this condo was EVER an active rental because it is pristine and clean as a whistle! We will be back if we don’t buy a unit ourselves in this awesome complex! Bravo Allen and Megan!!!

Comfy stay for family of 4
We enjoyed our stay in this large, beautiful, well-provisioned and comfortable condo in a lovely golf course community. The outdoor lanai space was particularly relaxing. We took advantage of the home's scuba gear and beach chairs, and also used the community pool, hot tub and grill. Owners offered lots of advice on things to do and great communication. Only downside was noise from the adjacent road which was closer and busier than expected.

Great Location, Fabulous Property
This rental is clearly not just a rental. The owners are gracious enough to share their piece of paradise with others. The unit is tastefully decorated with smart TV included. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, supplies and condiments. Washer and dryer are updated. Grounds are beautiful. Pool was perfect for grandkids (we were here in two separate units). Lots of extras available- snorkels, fins, boogie boards, beach chairs. Short walk to beach and restaurants. Overall, wonderful place to vacation! I

It was nice of the host to let us use all the beach toys. The kitchen was well equipped with all the pots and pans we needed. Thank you Meghan for sharing your condo with us. We will definitely be back when the condo is available.

Home away from home
We have stayed at the Vistas for many years, they are in a great location, a little older but more spacious and higher quality than newer condos. The grounds are mature and beautiful. This is definitively one of the nicest and best kept condos we have rented and the owners are on top of everything and very helpful! It does not feel like a rental, it feels like HOME. There is EVERYTHING you need in the kitchen cabinets! You have coffee beans and butter and eggs in the fridge when you arrive. The towels and sheets are high quality and the place has been tastefully renovated. Beautiful view of Mauna Kea from the very spacious Lanai. The Vistas are close to the road, but it is a quiet road. We will be back

Great place for a family vacation
It is a beautiful property close to the beach, shopping and a pool on the premises. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay on your property and should we vacation on the big island again would look to stay at this property first. Thanks for accomodating us!

Wonderful summer vacation place
This place was perfect for our family summer vacation on the Big Island. It was spacious for our family of 5, had a well stocked kitchen for making our evening dinners, large beautiful lanai outside for our breakfasts and evenings, and swim equipment and toys for our beach outing. We could also walk to a nearby laua.

The location, view, and setting of this condo fit our needs perfectly. There is a beach nearby to walk to and many more interesting beaches just a short drive away. The condo is nicely furnished and the wrap around deck has great views. We went as a family of five. The condo is spacious so we all had plenty of room. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook and serve a nice meal.We had trouble with the tv and internet when we first got there, but a contact to Megan, the owner, and we got that straightened out quickly. We would recommend this condo for a vacation in Waikoloa.

Incredible trip to the Big Island
We stayed here for the 70.3 race on the island recently, and this home was such a retreat among all the chaos that goes into planning, prepping and then decompressing from a race. The location to stores and restaurants is great. It’s tucked away, but also right near the highway. One of the highlights was coffee in the morning and wine in the evening on the terrace. Our friends actually ended up staying with us last minute the second half of the stay and they noted how much better this home was compared to where they were previously staying. We also had bikes and a lot of gear with us, so the elevator (which not all condos have) was key. My parents are looking to retire to Hawaii, and I think I know just the place for them to consider! No complaints. A wonderful retreat!

The property is centrally located within Waikoloa Beach Resort. The unit was well stocked and nicely furnished. We spent the majority of our time at the condo on the large lanai. Nice pool and hot tub in the complex. We relaxed and enjoyed our time on the Big Island, and the warm Hawaii weather!
