We stay in Waikoloa every year and love the location. The weather is nice all year and located by beautiful beaches. This unit was well equipped and provided all the things needed for the beach as well as all the cooking tools for making some meals while enjoying our stay. The best feature this unit has is the views. We thoroughly enjoyed eating on the balcony and looking out over the beach and watching sunsets. The hosts were very easy to contact and they also provide you with an on island contact as well for emergencies. Overall a great stay!

We come to the Big Island every summer and this property is, hands down, the best we've had this far! The view is to die for. The location is perfect for quick walks to the beach, spying on the dolphins at the Hilton, indulging in amazing shave ice, or just relaxing between volcano hikes and stargazing.The property is well-furnished and was a perfect fit for us, including two kiddos. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!

This was our first visit to Hawaii and I’m really glad we chose this location to stay. The beaches in the area are fantastic. I saw sea turtles at every single beach. The condo was well located in proximity to the best beaches on the island and we enjoyed the convenience to the Queen & Kings shops. Tracy & Carmine had really great recommendations in their notes & all of the available beach/snorkel/cooler equipment was extremely convenient to have.

Loved the place! Only issue we had was we couldn’t find the parking spot at 10 pm, so parked in visitor spot until the morning. It’s quiet, decorated beautifully and very comfortable! Thank you, we enjoyed ourselves!

Spacious and well appointed, everything we needed for our stay. Great location in the center of Waikoloa Beach Resort. Easy access to shopping, restaurants and lovely beach. Only minutes to Kona airport, cultural sites, and even more beaches. Beginning and ending our day on the lanai was amazing. Pool and spa area was also relaxing.

Amazing condo, lanai and views! Exactly as advertised. Close to A-Bay beach and Hapuna Beach. Condo was well equipped to include beach gear. Beautifully furnished too. You can tell they take good care of their property.

This condo seemed very clean and recently remodeled, and had everything we needed plus a lot more. The views and sound of birds from the balcony was great. The pool and jacuzzi were beautiful, and we had them all to ourselves most of the time. This might sound silly, but I loved the countertop in the primary bathroom. As I am writing this, I wish I was still there!

We have been to the big island several times. Waikoloa is definitely our favorite area. The entire resort area itself is beautiful with several nearby sandy beaches and calm water. Our unit at the Vista Waikoloa was exactly what we wanted, up to date, roomy, a short walk to beautiful ABay and to the shopping centers and restaurants, a warm pool and 2 hot tubs, and very few people. I don't see how anyone could be disappointed. The hosts were very responsive, each time getting back to us within a few minutes. Definitely a 5 star place all around, down to the beds and linens!

A little "hiccup" when first arriving, with getting in the front door, but the owners were quick to respond/help. It was very spacious and we had a beautiful view! Nice walk to the beach area. We appreciated the beach towels/supplies that were included. We loved our time in Hawaii and if we ever return, we would see if this place is available! Thank you so much Tracy and Carmine!

This was our second trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. After extensive research, we chose this condominium in Vista Waikoloa for its location, view, size, and cost. Upon arrival, the room exceeded our expectations, even more impressive than the photos. The view from the living room was breathtaking, with gentle hills leading to the coast, the sparkling Anaehoomalu Beach, and perfectly placed palm trees creating a serene resort atmosphere. The unique top floor view made us feel we had made the right choice. On the lanai, we were soothed by the sound of rustling palm leaves and birds chirping. The interior was equally impressive, with elegant and spacious furniture. The sofa, dining table, bed, and bathroom layout were ideal. The tasteful furnishings and Hawaiian-themed decor added to the charm. We visited various tourist spots on the Big Island during the day but always looked forward to returning to the condominium in the evening. We enjoyed walking to see the luau show at Kings' Shops after dinner and spending leisurely mornings at the nearby beach. The location was excellent, providing convenience and beauty. Additionally, when minor issues arose, the owner was very responsive via email, ensuring a worry-free experience. Overall, our stay at Vista Waikoloa exceeded our expectations. We would definitely return to this condominium on our next visit to the Big Island for its perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and stunning views.

We love the Waikoloa Beach area for its convenience and recreational opportunities. The two bedroom two bath condo property was everything we had hoped for and more. The property was clean, well stocked and spacious. This unit can easily accommodate two couples very comfortably. The kitchen and baths were stocked with many items not usually included, very thoughtful all the way around. The lanai is very large and the views of “A” Bay the the tree canopy from the third floor is just exquisite! The host and property manager were very responsive and accommodating to us during our stay. The whole week was relaxing and revitalizing. We will definitely book this property again if we get the opportunity!

Mahalo nui for the great unit and wonderful experience. Perfect location for anyone doing Ironman Hawai'i 70.3 as relatively close to the activities.

We really enjoyed our stay in Tracy and Carmine's condo and their good communication! They are wonderful to work with. Thanks so much for everything! The condo was even nicer than described, spacious, and is in a beautifully landscaped and quiet area. We especially liked being so close to A Bay, as well as all the stores and restaurants. We were within walking distance or a quick two minute drive. We hope to return in the future.

We have been to Hawaii several times over the years and absolutely loved our stay here. The pictures on line look nice but it's much nicer seeing it in person. Beautiful place! The owners have done a terrific job with decorating the place, a mixture of modern and Hawaiian. Everything is carefully laid out making the stay very nice. All the beach gear you need is here, and the lanai is so pleasant! We had a great stay and will try to return some day. Aloha!

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is really well located, a pretty short walk to the beach and the two shopping centres (King's Shops and Queen's Marketplace). The onsite pool was good and it was nice to have access to the fitness centre. The condo itself is nicely appointed and is really comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked (a refreshing change from some VRBOs we have stayed at). It was great to watch the sunsets from the lanai. The condo also comes with all the beach gear you need (umbrella, chairs, snorkel gear, coolers etc.) which was great. If you stay here you won't be disappointed.
