With all of the options of places to stay on the Big Island, why choose my condo? Here are a few reasons. Remember, we are located on the North Kohala area of the Island, about 30 miles North of Kona and about 100 miles from the Volcano!
1. My condo is a very open and a bright corner unit with views of mountains, ocean and the expansive terrain. The views are spectacular.
2. Location is superb, one of the first exits at Waikoloa Village for easy and fast in and out. Great central location near all of the best sandy beaches on the Big Island.
3. The weather is superb. With only 12 inches of annual rainfall and common trade winds, it tends to stay clear, warm and dry.
4. Rates are very reasonable for a fully furnished, privately owned, large 3 bedroom, 3 bath condominium with these amenities and views.
From the moment you set foot in this 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 1300 square foot Condominium, you will be immersed in the “Aloha Spirit”. This corner unit at Waikoloa Greens truly has a beautiful layout. This condo has many upgrades including Brazilian Cherry wood laminate flooring in all of the bedrooms and throughout the upstairs. The living room is laminate flooring as well. Tile flooring appoints the baths and kitchen. Beautiful granite kitchen counters and upgraded appliances. Many more upgrades as well.
There is no A/C however, each bedroom has it’s own bath, ceiling fan and sliding glass door out to it’s own lanai. The kitchen and living room (with bay window and ceiling fan) and master bedroom have stunning views of the ocean, Hualalai Mountain and beautiful tropical sunsets. It is decorated throughout with Hawaiian furnishings, rattan furniture and Hawaiian photos. The living room is appointed with a 48 flat screen tv, surround sound, stereo and dvd/cd player. Wireless Internet and cable tv are also provided . We also have installed flat screen tvs in all bedrooms.
The condo is well equipped with washer/dryer, beach towels, cooler, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc. The beautifully remodeled kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and is fully equipped with dishes, microwave, toaster oven, blender, cooking utensils and everything you will need to prepare meals if you so choose on your vacation.
There is a king bed in the master, a queen in the second bedroom and a twin trundle bed, that makes into a king in the third bedroom which doubles as an office/den.
There are abundant bbqs on site and a very nice heated pool and hot tub that were just redone. Tennis courts, play ground facilities and exercise facility 100’ away. There is also another pool, tennis courts and more for your use nearby.
Location, Location, Location:
Overlooking the Kohala Coast, Waikoloa Village is in a perfect location from which to launch your exploration of the Big Island. We are fortunate to experience some of the best weather on the island. Rarely do we experience the vog that sometimes plagues other parts of the island. The weather is in the 80's Fahrenheit year round during the day, and around 70 Fahrenheit at night, which makes it warm during the day and cool enough at night to sleep. Tropical tradewinds are the norm. See link to current weather below.
Restaurants, sightseeing and shopping:
You are located a short stroll from the Waikoloa Village featuring a large grocery store complete with fresh butcher, deli and bakery, a bank, health food store, restaurants, bars and other shops for your convenience.
Waikoloa Restaurant and Bar is a short drive with great food and a generous happy hour. Don't miss the crab boil they put on once a month.
There are over 20 other restaurants located in the Waikoloa Beach area including Tommy Bahamas, Ruth Chris, Roy’s, The Tropics Ale House, the Sansai Seafood Restaurant and Sushi Bar and many more. The Dolphin Quest at the Hilton Waikoloa Beach area is also about 10 minutes away with it's restaurants and shopping.
You can experience world class shopping at the King and Queens shops of Waikoloa. 15-20 minutes North of Waikoloa is a town called Waimea, or Kamuela, which is home to world famous restaurants, such as Merriman's and Daniel Thiebauts, as well as being home to the famous Parker Ranch Paniolos (Hawaiian Cowboys).
Kona town is a 30 minute drive to the South, where you will find the Kona Brewery, The Kona Inn, Huggos by the Sea and many other fine restaurants and plenty of shops. Costco is located between Kona and the airport.
You are also just a short drive to catch Saddle Road which will take you to the Hilo side where you can check out Akaka Falls, Rainbow Falls, Waipi’o Valley and many other sights and waterfalls along the Hamakua Coast. You are also a 2 hour scenic drive from the Mauna Kea Summit and observatories, or the same distance from Kilauea, Hawaii’s live volcano.
Golf:
Waikoloa Village Golf Course is your backyard. It is a par 72. It plays to 6,791 yards and is situated at the 1,000 ft elevation overlooking the beautiful Kohala Coast. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and as our guest you will receive discounted green fees. Many other exceptional courses await you nearby.
Snorkeling:
There are many places to snorkel including 69s Beach or any of the access points along Puako Road which is a short drive away. Mauna Lani, A- Bay, Mauna Kea, are also some excellent choices. If you don't mind the drive, there is outstanding snorkeling at Kahaluu Bay, which is 7 miles south of Kona. (about a 35 minute drive) Here you will see large numbers of very friendly, colorful fish, and lots of Green Sea Turtles. (you don’t even have to get into the water to see the turtles, just look in the tide pools and on the rocks) If you want the very best, either Kayak or take a snorkel cruise to Kealakekua Bay (Captain Cook’s Monument). It is the very best snorkeling I have experienced in the Islands with over 100 feet of visibility. Honaunau Bay (Place of Refuge) is also nearby.
Beaches:
Nearly all of the best sandy beaches on the Big Island, are nearby along the Kohala Coast including Hapuna, 69s, Spencer, A- Bay, Mauna Kea, Kua Bay and many more

Enjoyed our two week stay in Gary’s condo! Doesn’t have air conditioning but we didn’t need it, just opened sliding doors, as other guests suggested, to allow wind to cool off the place. Kitchen had everything we needed. Nice spot to launch from, really enjoyed exploring the island. Lots of birds around including turkeys, saw whales’ splashes from the balcony, of course lots of goats in the area and a few donkeys (they couldn’t have cared less about us!) We would stay there again and have referred friends!

A well stocked two-floor end unit condo facing the ocean with Lanais on each level.
No air, no problem. When you open windows on both ends and invite the trade winds to flow through, you will enjoy what Waikoloa residents have had for years - a perfect climate.

The property was just as described and had a great view. We also thoroughly enjoyed the many amenities (pool table, tennis court / pickle ball court, ping pong table, foosball).

The price was great, so that is the number one selling point! Rooms were not too bad, and had a great view from the master bedroom lanai and the living room lanai. No AC, but in the evening it cooled down nicely, so we slept well. M only issue was the automatic door locking mechanism was a little on the fritz. Luckily he had a locked backup key we could access, but i would recommend getting a more reliable door lock. Maybe the door itself was a little tight and the motor had a hard time unlocking. I had to pull the door a little to relieve the load.
Pool was great and the hot tub as well. Location was good. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to visit the island.

Our family had a great stay at Gary’s condo. The views are amazing, and the condo is very nice and clean. We enjoyed the pool, billiards, basketball and foosball. Gary provided some great beach gear umbrellas, chairs, snorkel gear and beach toys. Close enough to some awesome beaches. Gary was a great host. We will definitely return.

The condo was a perfect homebase for a week on Hawai'i Island. Our daughter and family from New England enjoyed exploring gorgeous beaches not far from the condo, shopping at conveniently located shopping venus and even a day trip to Volcano. We enjoyed a nature walk off the Saddle Road, visiting Waimea and friends in Hilo.
The unit was clean, well appointed, comfy and we enjoyed amazing sunsets off the livingroon balcony. The two teenage girls were a little tight in the third bedroom. But they didn't mind...they had their own bathroom. We would start the days together with breakfast together and end our days enjoying the pool area and playing Bananagrams together in the evenings. Everyone we encountered were friendly and helpful.
The unit had most everything we needed. And the grocery store was just a couple minutes away for anything else. The grill was right outside the unit just steps away and we even played a couple racks of 8-Ball at the pool table by the recreation area. All in all, it was a fabulous family vacation, with a flock of friendly turkeys onsite to greet us each morning and the kids and grandkids have scores of incredible photos to keep the memories fresh for a long time to come. Mahalo, Gary for being super responsive whenever we had questions!
