This Villa is clean, comfortable, and has the little extras which will add to the enjoyment of your trip. We really appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella, cooler, boogie boards and tennis equipment. The nearby pool was a welcome treat, and we used it everyday. The Villa is centrally located to give you access to great snorkeling, beaches, and restaurants. We really enjoyed the large number of farmers markets and local artists in the Kona, Waimea and Hawi areas. Don’t miss the Manta dive. Had a great time, thank you.

Favorite neighborhood in WBR. Colony never disappoints, as former residents it was fantastic to be back home for a few days. The pools and hot tub are always excellent. Staff are always phenomenal.

We enjoyed our stay at Jim's house, the location is beautiful and very quiet. Communication with Jim was superb, Jim always responded quickly. The house had literally everything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of dishes, cutlery, several sizes of pots and pans, even some plastic boxes so you could pack some lunch or store leftovers. There were enough towels, linens etc. Even a full set of beach equipment like umbrellas, chairs, cooler, mats, beach towels and so much more was there for us to use. Just move in and enjoy your time!

We had a wonderful time. The location of the villa was so close to everything. Thank you so much!!!

We enjoyed our stay. The two pools were lovely. We also used the tennis court and the gym facilities. The condo was well stocked with lots of towels, beach chairs, pool noodles, tennis racquets etc. The dishwasher was about a three on a scale of one to ten and we were unable to access network cable tv (but streaming services worked) in spite of calling the property manager. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped.

Easy and clean.

Property was as described, clean and close to many attractions. Jim was helpful and answered all communications quickly. Would definitely stay here again.

The grounds & amenities at Waikoloa Colony Villas are lovely and well maintained. The condo itself is worn and would benefit from some updating - especially with regard to the kitchen appliances but it met most of our basic needs and didn’t interfere with our ability to enjoy our vacation.

This is a lovely family friendly home away from home. This was spacious and comfortable for myself (age 62), my daughter(44) and 2 grandchildren(10 &14). It has a well equipped kitchen and laundry. I was impressed with the supplies for beach activities including beach chairs coolers and snorkeling gear. It is a 2 minute walk to a family pool. It is a short drive to shopping, restaurants and numerous beautiful beaches.

Neat, clean , great facilities and well stocked with all that we need for a great holiday.

This condo had all the amenities that you would need. Beach towels/umbrella/chairs/coolers/boogie boards. The location was A++. Too far of a walk for us to A Bay and shopping but who cares. 😊 Loved the fact that you didn’t have anyone above you. Truly a quiet area. Thanks Jim for the use of your property.

Jim was an excellent owner to rent from. Air conditioning went out and he immediately had a repairman out and it was fixed. Great service

Great place. Great location. Thanks for the use of the beach towels and umbrella. Had everything we needed. I can't wait to stay here again.

We had a great time at the Wikaloa beach villa. Jim was easy to get hold of and his housekeeper and staff at the villa were very helpful to answer any questions. The house is well stocked with all essentials, and we also found great equipment for our toddler to play in the beach and build sand castles with! It is a nice property and we enjoyed the kids pool. Some of the good beaches are about 20-25 minutes away, but that was fine with us.

Our 12 day stay at Jim's place was great. The condo was a perfect base for exploring Waikaloa and the Big Island. Our kids loved the pool and we all appreciated coming back there after the days adventures. Even though there wasn't a beach that was within easy walking distance, there were countless beaches within a short drive.

Great location with a stocked kitchen, community pools/hot tub and community bbqs

Booked this place because it was the least expensive unit. Reviews were decent & based on feedback, assumed the issues noted in prior reviews were addressed. They have not been. Unit is in a great location, close to hotels & shops. Gated community is well taken care of, quiet, & safe. Jim was pleasant to deal with; although with a few quirks. Jim owns many units in this area - this is a business & is treated as such. With that, you would expect closer attention to detail. Pros - Quiet, gated community, nice grounds & views - Condo is roomy & decor is nice. Beds are comfy, all TVs work well - 2 pools, one out the front door & one a 5 min walk - Kitchen has the essentials needed for cooking - Convenient parking space next to the front door Cons - Issues mentioned in past reviews have not been fixed. Thresholds from wood to tile are loose. An easy fix that's been ignored - Toilets in both bathrooms are loose & wobble when sitting on them. Again, an easy fix that Jim mentioned would be addressed in another review but has not been - Bathrooms are a bit outdated & could use upgrading - Minimal toilet paper provided & what was there was thin single ply - Ants in the master bath; Jim provided bug spray - WiFi spotty upstairs - Community pools are not family friendly. Signs indicate no balls/inflatables/noodles/boogie boards, no jumping/diving, no splashing more than necessary, no music, no fun, no No NO! The pool areas are for the "quiet enjoyment" of the residents & guests. Emphasis on quiet & a threat to not only kick you out but to be arrested by the local police if you don't adhere to their policies. They have a pool, but you can't have too much fun. Attention families with kids. A quirk to note - the first night we realized the living room tv remote was not working. Tried swapping out with other remotes with no success. Had to unplug the tv to turn it off. I got a message from Jim the following morning saying he is aware the tv remote is not working & would send someone to take a look. Not sure how he knew as we hadn't messaged him yet, but appreciate him trying to fix it. A few hours later while my wife was in the shower & I was in the bathroom, somebody comes into the condo & announces his presence. Didn't hear a doorbell or knock on the door, he just came in :( That didn't sit well with us as it was very unprofessional. Overall a 3 star rental that can easily be a 4 or 5 with simple improvements and fixes. You get what you pay for.

Waikoloa Village is one of a handful of upscale resort area neighborhoods on the big island. Weather is perfect all year long. We typically stay at one of the hotels but enjoyed the extra space, flexibility to cook, and other perks of the villa. This villa was a great value and generally in good shape. We spoke to the owner about fixing some worn tiles, cabinets, window blinds and the like as well as some areas the cleaning service could improve. Otherwise a fantastic location and great value w reasonably good comfort and cleanliness.

My family (4) adults and (1) infant, stayed at this condo for 10 days. The location is great; lots of nice walking trails, close to the Hilton, lots of shops and restaurants (20ish minute walk). The amenities (pools and hot tub) are also very nice and well kept. We did have a couple of major issues that we feel could have been avoided/handed differently. On our second night at around 8pm, we lost power. We could see that this unit was the only one without power. After phoning the host, and enduing a very unpleasant conversation for about 45 minutes, they finally agreed to call the maintenance contact for the property. We were advised to not contact either of the on-island contacts that they left for us. They kept reiterating that this maintenance contact was not an employee of theirs and they could not do anything else for us if he refused to come out. Fine - but please phone him (they would not pass along his contact info to us). If anyone else should run into this problem, his contact information is listed at the main gate/office. They also asked us "how would you like it if you just got home from work and got a phone call to come back to the property?" . Understandably, this would be frustrating. While I was being told that "if he can't come, there's no other option" , my husband found the maintenance contact information and the he said he'd be there within the hour. We did get the power back on at about 930pm. How could this have been handled differently? When we phoned and said the power was out, a simple "we'll phone the maintenance contact and get back to you." The next day, at about 4:30pm, my mom was at the unit with my 10 month old who was napping. In walks a startled stranger holding the key to the unit and the lock box. She exclaimed that she and her husband had the unit booked for the weekend. My mom apologized and said that we had 7 more nights still. Luckily, for us, the lady was very polite. Also lucky for us, that someone was home and that she wasn't a thief. We never heard from the host as to why this happened. Couple of other things - one of the beach chairs was broken so we replaced it as we had 4 adults. The only toilet paper in the unit was on the rolls in the bathroom so we made a detour for TP on day 2. The floors and the carpet in the living room were so dirty our feet (and our baby's knees) were black. We washed the floors and vacuumed but the rug should be replaced.

Beautiful place, walkable distance to King and Queens Market and beach. Condo had most basic necessities plentiful cleaning products…they should include a scrub sponge for kitchen pots and pans & sponges for bathrooms. I was there for 3 weeks and had to purchase these. Also a toilet brush for each bathroom would’ve been nice. Otherwise loved the place…spacious and clean. Property manager had a little post pandemic trouble finding workers to come fix things, but they were minor since we were out of the condo more than we were in it.
