Previous descriptions are entirely accurate. House and property are well maintained—pool great, beds comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Good location. Lots to see and do. Beach close and not too rocky.

Great home in a great location. Jessica, our property manager was exceptional. Very responsive and available every time we needed her including Sunday morning. Top shelf service and top shelf location.

great family house, loved the layout and had a great vacation.

First off- I am very picky when it comes to where I stay when I travel. I feel like it makes or breaks the trip - even if you tell yourself "we won't be in the room or at the house that much because we will be out doing things..." Having a nice, clean place to wake up and relax in the evenings is PRICELESS! This place was AWESOME! We are a family of 6 and traveled with friends that are a family of 4. The house fit everyone so perfectly. The separate two bedrooms that are detached from the main house are lovely and still very functional for older kids or other couples. The Vacation Rental representatives were very accomodating before and during our stay. They helped me find companies to assist us with all of the activities on the Island. My husband and older sons played golf at the Beach location. He said the course is tough and absolutely STUNNING! My sons said they felt like they were playing golf on the Wii haha because it was so beautiful. The Kings and Queens shops were very nice to stroll and shop. The small market in the Queen's Marketplace was BUSY! The customer service is really bad but at least it is a close place to grab essentials. Keep your receipts when you spend money there, they tally up all the money you have spent and they allow you to pick some gifts from the shop. The kids thought it was fun. The sunset from the home is sooo pretty! The pool is not heated so know that, it's fine when it's hot outside but in the evenings it too chilly... The hot tub is only heated at night, this was a bummer we wish we could of heated it up during the day too. The outside master shower was really cool! The kids wanted to shower in there just to experience it haha. LAVA LAVA Beach Club nearby is very cool! Such a great vibe for food and drinks. Don't get discouraged by the wait times. Just go at odd times and go early to get your name on the first come first serve list. The best way to get to the beach from the house is to go out the front door and walk south and go through the Community Club/Pool area (gate code needed) walk through there to get to the beach. If you want to go for an evening walk go out the front door and head east, walk out the exit gate and head north about 500 yards and look for the beach access path. It's very pretty on this walk. Tide pools are cool. The lava near the house is "protected" it is a preserved area - we got yelled at - oops. Don't walk through here! This house and location are worth every penny. BOOK IT!!!

Very spacious and great set up. Pool and AC were awesome! Can't wait to come back....

Our family truly enjoyed our vacation experience here. It was perfect since we had two small children with us.We loved the large sliding doors which made it so open and inviting. The view was spectacular.

The house was extremely nice. But the best part was the location for our family. We were 5 adults and 2 kids (8 & 11). Very easy access to A-Bay and the Kolea Beach Club with their amenities. Access to the Hilton Waikoloa pools, lagoon for snorkeling and SUP, and Luau within walking distance was great with the kids. Nice to do those things them come back for a quiet swim in the pool at the house. Sunsets were spectacular while enjoying dinner or refreshments on the lanai.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: An extended family group of 8 adults spent a week at this wonderful house, the second time we have stayed at Kolea 13. It is a simply amazing house for a large group, private, quiet, many secluded spots and other gathering spots, and a short walking distance from beach, shopping, the great Hilton pools, golf, etc. The kitchen is amazing and very well stocked. If you love to cook as much as we do, you will enjoy it and there is a Costco not far from the airport to stock up. The only downside is the single, small dishwasher, which made cleaning up a daily challenge. Most of the walls open up to the outside, so you can enjoy the great Hawaiian air all day long. The pool and hot tub were used many times a day. The only problem with this house is the construction of a new house on the lot next door. Luckily while we were there they were only building a rock wall with very little noise, but presumably that will soon change. The management group is great, very helpful and professional. We strongly recommend the Merriman's restaurant in nearby Waimea. One of the best meals we have had in the Hawaiian islands, definitely worth the drive.
