Great location in the nice subdivision of Waikaloa Village. This house had plenty of room for our group of seven and everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I highly recommend this property if you are looking for a great location to access the gorgeous beaches in the area like Hapuna & Mauna Kea (Kauna’oa). Also a good central location for visiting Waimea, Kailua-Kona, and points north.

When we arrived the temperature inside the house was 93, hotter than outside. Not a pleasant way to begin our stay. The air conditioning, in our opinion, does not cover the whole house and it takes many hours to cool off. In trying to open windows to get air, many of the window levers did not work.The oven was flithy and there was no other way to cook because the house does not allow a barbecue; we cleaned the oven! There were many other little things, too numerous to mention. We will not be back.
The cockroaches that appeared every day were a bit of a hassle, but they were German cockroaches, so it wasn't too bad. It made us feel like we were living in nature. This was our seventh time on the Big Island, and my friend said it was the best one he'd ever been to. Thank you very much.
This property is spacious with a roomy kitchen, separate dining area if wanted, but we congregated either on the lanai or the bar for most of our meals. The bedrooms are comfortable and pleasantly separated with the master bedroom and bath en-suite opposite ends of the house from the other two bedrooms. A full-size laundry room is a bonus,Being halfway between Downtown Kona and Kapau shortened car time so we could easily visit friends or Hilo without worry of returning home tired and in the dark. This was an all around lovely eight days and we highly recommend this home to responsible adults.
Very nice place to stay with family. Located in a great place for accessing the beaches and other activities. Solidly recommend!

My golf team stayed here. It was very comfortable for 7 adults (however I slept on a small day bed). Great views and location near the golf courses
House was as advertised. Beautiful views. Close to swimming beaches. Close to stores, but with a rural setting. Sleeping quarters were fantastic and it helped to have 2 and a half bathrooms with a 7 person party.

Spent a week at Hale O' Waikoloa relaxing and enjoying each other's company. We were 3, so had plenty of room to spread out in the house.The master bedroom has a sliding door that opens to the deck with a lovely view of the mountains and ocean. The master bath has 2 sinks, a great bathtub, but the shower head wasn't at all comfortable (stinging and no way to lower the pressure...) The kitchen was pretty well stocked with utensils and appliances, though there were some items that should be always be available; coffee filters for the coffee maker, a vegetable peeler that works... we understand not having plastic wrap for food, but there were no items for covering food to store in the fridge or on the counter-there was a real need for smaller bowls and smaller plates. There were several plates that were usable but were cracked and need to be replaced. We took advantage of the beach towels and chairs; that was very helpful to have on hand!Great location, quiet neighborhood, close to the well stocked store, and other amenities. We enjoyed a dinner at Pueo's Osteria- you may want to make reservations- it was busy even on a Monday evening!All in all we really enjoyed the property; it was clean and well maintained inside; I would be hesitant to bring small children due to the many art objects in every room! Mahalo!

It is a nice place in a great location. We have stayed there once before a couple years ago. We enjoy it. The things I would change (fix) are: 1. The sheets need replaced. They are the same ones from last time and the fitted sheets in the master don't stay. They are too stretched out. I can't speak for the other beds, but I am sure they are in the same boat. The pillows should probably be replaced as well. There's not much to them anymore 2. More shower towels. I am ok with limiting what you provide in regards to toilet paper, laundry detergent, and things of that nature, but shower towels should not have to be brought from home. If it sleeps 6, then have towels for 6. 3. I had to go buy batteries for the thermostat. The batteries were dead. That can be checked regularly. All in all a great time and nice house.
5 of us siblings loved having this special “home away from home” to hang out and laugh together for two weeks! Loved this upscale neighborhood and we enjoyed our morning walks around the golf course every morning!!!
The property management communicated with us to make sure our needs and any and all concerns were met!
We loved this “open floor” layout with an open and spacious living room, dining room and kitchen floor plan!!!
Thanks for an allowing our family a special time in the Waikaloa area!!!
A first-class experience!!!
