Hale O' Waikoloa (House of Waikoloa) is in a quiet neighborhood of Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii. Waikoloa Village is a small community of houses, condos and townhouses situated at the one thousand foot elevation, high above the luxury resort hotels which spread along the shoreline six miles below.
This 2,000 square feet vacation house is built of solid cedar "timbers" which are 4" thick, and the entire interior and exterior are clear-stained to highlight the beauty of the color and pattern of the wood. Central Air Conditioning keeps this three bedrooms, 2.5 bath home. Two bedrooms have queen beds, and one which has two twin beds; a room adjacent to the kitchen has a daybed and can serve as a fourth bedroom. In addition to the master bathroom, there are a full bathroom and a half-bathroom. The open beam design and fifteen-foot living room ceiling provide an expansive and airy effect. There are many windows oriented to the northwest for views of the ocean and the Kohala mountain.
The furniture is mainly Scandinavian and the many paintings and art objects are primarily from Asia and Europe; of note are a porcelain figurine of a ballet dancer from Moscow, Russia, and an intricate horse-drawn carriage figurine from Vienna, Austria.
The 400 square feet covered lanai opens to views of the ocean and the beautiful Kohala mountain. Views of sunsets from this vantage point are truly enchanting and magical!
Some of the best beaches in Hawaii are a short drive away, such as Hapuna Beach, Mauna Kea Beach and Anaehoomalu Bay (A-Bay); beach supplies like hats, towels, chairs, sunscreen, boogie boards, coolers, etc. are stored in a hall closet, and available for use by guests.
Waikoloa Village has an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones, Jr.-designed golf course, where guests receive a discounted green fee. Other top-notch golf courses at most of the resort hotels are a short 10 miles away.
A shopping center in Waikoloa Village has a full-service market, bank, gas station, restaurants, medical office, and a variety of shops.
Hale O' Waikoloa is ideally located to serve as your home base to visit the many beaches and natural wonders on the Big Island, including Volcano National Park and Mauna Kea Observatory.
A $500.00 REFUNDABLE SECURITY DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED FOR EVERY RESERVATION.

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!!!

We very much enjoyed staying in this home! The views were beautiful and the house was very clean and well stocked with all the kitchen and laundry supplies needed! It is in a really convenient location, only 15 minuets from the beach, and very close to the road to Mauna Kea and Hilo. The rental company was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay! I highly recommend staying here!

We received the door code the day we were checking in. No problems getting into the home. AC was off when we entered. I turned it on and it did not take very long for the house to cool down. There are basketball hoops right next door. The beds were comfortable. The house was clean. Washer and dryer worked great for our needs. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.

Overall we were very happy! Beautiful home, great views! Lots of lovely, but breakable, items displayed all around the house. Definitely not a rental for toddlers or high energy sassy teens.
Close enough to markets, fuel etc but away from the hub bub of resorts. Some of the linens and mattress pads need replacing. All blankets need a refresh washing. Nothing to deter a decision to stay again. Lovely breezes out on the covered porch. And fantastic sunsets too. Very friendly and helpful communication-always a plus😃

Everything was good and as advertised.
The only negative, if it could be called that, was the house was sealed up tight when we got there. As a result the thermostat said it was >90F inside at 9pm at night. Opening windows, etc. cooled the house pretty quickly and it was quiet enough that we left them open, but that meant we had the bugs that you see while in Hawai'i...

Comfortable home and well equipped kitchen with unexpected rice cooker. Set up for two people to work online. AC was great. Good central private location for exploring the west side without the crowds of condos. Village shopping very convenient. Knutson property manager was very helpful and responsive.

Where do I start? The code I was sent to enter the property was incorrect. Fortunately, the cleaning personnel showed up and gave me a correct code, but unfortunately they also stated that the ac was out and didn't know when it would or if it would be fixed. After entering the property I was aghast to find the walls dirty throughout. Due to no ac bugs and animals were throughout the property. The wifi name and password were incorrect to which I had to obtain the info directly from the router. The after hours help was the only actually responsive person I could get hold of, even during regular business hours. The extra beach amenities were either non-existent or broken. Many of the windows we could open up to be able to sleep for ventilation, due to no ac, at night were broken making it unbearable to sleep at times. After the 5th day, the after hours help finally confirmed that they wouldn't be able to fix the ac for another 3months... Horrible service and help from the beginning! Renters beware!!
