Detailed Description:
To help you make a decision on renting my home, view the pictures and then read guest reviews. (Ignore older comments about beach toys and bunk beds - they were removed in 2023. The former kid's bunk bedroom is now an owner's office and storage room. The home is now more for adults than children.) When I began offering F-1 to guests, I adopted the 3pm check-in and 11am check-out times every other rental property seems to have. On January 1, 2022 I changed that policy to a 4pm check-in (with possibility of early arrival) and an 8pm check-out time. That lets you enjoy another day on Hawaii before getting cleaned up, packed, and catching an over-night, “red-eye” flight back to the Mainland - brilliant! I block the day before and the day after every guest stay so my cleaning crew always has plenty of time to thoroughly clean F-1, which I insist upon. Would you want it any other way? Feel free to read the rest of the property description and after that, ask me any questions you still have.
Thanks for your interest,
Marc, Westminster, CO
Welcome to the land of Aloha for a memorable vacation. As an end unit, F-1 provides privacy, peace & quiet – there is no one above and no one below your place in paradise. Palm trees, flowers and foliage provide fresh tropical surroundings and scents. You'll quickly feel very comfortable here.
This clean and spacious Waikoloa Beach Villas 2-story unit is located in the beautiful Waikoloa Beach Resort area of The Big Island of Hawai’i. You’ll be on the “dry side” of the island as opposed to the “rainy side” – a wise choice. From Kona International Airport (KOA) it is an easy 18 mile drive with stunning ocean views on your left and the mountains of Mauna Loa, Hualalei, & Mauna Kea on your right. The location is perfect; nearby there is plenty to explore and a variety of activities to enjoy. It’s just 1.0 mile to scenic Anaeho’omalu Bay (A-Bay) and a quick 12 minute drive to the renowned Hapuna Beach State Park or Kekaha Kai beach. It doesn’t get any better than that!
In addition to sun & fun on beautiful ocean beaches, there are world class golf courses within the resort area or just a short drive on Queen Kaʻahumanu (Queen K) Highway. You might also:
• Swim, surf, snorkel, scuba dive
• Whale watch (November – April)
• Feel the heat hovering in a helicopter above flowing lava
• Go on a sunset cruise or a glass bottom boat ride
• Stargaze the Milky Way at 9,200’ elevation on Mauna Kea
• Take in the Legends of Hawai’i Luau show
• Explore Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park
• Visit macadamia nut and coffee bean plantations
• Stroll through a lush botanical garden
• See the spectacular 442-foot Akaka Falls
• Run ...

Loved the place, Marc was a fantastic host. Great communication and I loved how everything was organized with pictures so we knew where to put stuff back.

Stayed for 7 days over the Christmas Holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Property did not disappoint with a central location for all of our day trips. Resort property had 2 nice pool areas and a quick drive or even a walk to the beach or Lava Lava. The pictures did not due justice to the beautiful and functional indoor and outdoor spaces we enjoyed. Marc was excellent at communication and providing recommendations and guidance. We loved or time!

This place was amazing. Marc is a great host and we had an amazing time celebrating my wife’s birthday with our small children. The photos truly don’t do the place justice. It is amazing and located right on a golf course and is a great central location to a few of the top beaches on the island. Walk to Lava Lava Beach club for dinner on the beach (a bay) or drive 10 minutes to Hapuna. Kona is 15 minutes away as well. We loved the location and Marc was awesome. There are a lot of amenities including stove, coffee pot, beach chairs, towels etc. A private garage is also included. We would stay here again and would recommend anyone coming to the island to stay at this place!

Couldn’t imagine a better location for our trip to the big island. Everything you need is walking distance. Centrally located for trips to beach or day trips to sights around the island. The condo has everything you might want/need and is super organized. Marc is an amazing communicator and he made our arrival and stay super easy. We’ll look forward to staying here again on future trips to Kona. Mahalo Marc and Barb!!

Great unit, great location and also a great owner that sincerely cared about our group, checking in with us prior to our visit to their beautiful and very well maintained unit.

The place was perfect for us. 2 couples stayed and never felt crowded. The owners were super helpful in providing local information that helped us have a near perfect week. If the chance ever arises we will definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay. House was well stocked with dishes, basic kitchen supplies and lots of towels and linens. Great location with tons of shops only a short walk away. Our kids loved that the pool was only a quick walk as well. We hope to be back again someday!

For us, this was a staycation. We had family come in from Cali and we all stayed in Waikoloa. Our location was the best! The location, the condo, the supplies in the condo was all perfect. Big mahalos

Great location for close proximity to multiple beach, restaurant and shopping (Kings & Queens) options.
The resort and condo premises is immaculately maintained.
Plenty of sleeping options for a family of 5 including (3) teenage boys.
Kitchen fully stocked with everything required for preparing your own meals, including some typical seasonings. Grill is a short 1:00 walk away, next to the pool (couldn’t find grill utensils in the condo).
Condo stocked with board games for at-home days.
Condo has all you need for a beach day… towels, chairs, soft side cooler and wagon (we brought our own boogie boards and snorkel gear).
Owner was very communicative before and during our stay at F1.
Wish we would have know :
The Hawaii State Beaches now charge $10/car and $5/person. Our family of (5) cost $35 per beach day. In 2020, it was $5/car.
The Big Island currently only sells SPF 50 in tubes and SPF 30 in spray cans, due to local county laws (due to coral impact of certain minerals). We should have brought our own SPF 15 and 30.

We really enjoyed staying at this condo. It was lovely and spacious inside, with plenty of room for our family of 5. My girls loved the bunk room! (But I think the owner is in the process of changing up the furniture and the bunk room isn’t staying.) The kitchen was stocked well, one of the best I’ve used on a vacation. The garage also had plenty of beach gear and we really appreciated it! We liked walking to the restaurants and checking out the nearby petroglyphs. Mauna Loa erupted when we were there and it was quite an experience to be able to see it not far from the condo! Overall we were really happy with the condo and location.

We were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness and location of the unit. We did experience a broken fridge and the fix was already in motion when we arrived. Communication was great! Marc is wonderful to work with—detail orientated and committed to a positive customer stay. Definitely recommend and plan to book future stays at this property!!
