We liked the place, but the upstairs neighbor had extremely heavy feet and no idea of quiet time. This morning, he was up and stomping about at 2am and moving furniture / hammering on things. Not a restful neighbor.
No surprises or disappointments. Very good as advertised.
We stayed here for 3 wonderful weeks. The unit was very clean and had all amenities needed. There were two beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, and a small portable cooler. Everything needed for a day at the beach. The pool is beautiful with plenty of chairs/recliners for the complex. We had a nice view of the mountain and walked to the beach for the sunset view (1/2 mile?). You will need to drive to swimming beaches if you take any equipment. "A" bay is nearest beach and is wonderful. The pictures posted here are accurate. Check in process super easy.
Enjoyed stay. Location was great
The condo was nicely situated away from traffic. Loved being on the ground floor with privacy. The condo had everything we needed for our comfort and stay and the hot tub was a nice retreat each evening. A Bay beach is a short walk, nice sandy beach, sunsets, turtles. Also has shopping relatively walkable. We spent our days out and about. We had air conditioning, but dont feel it was necessary being very windy outside (February).
The property was spacious, light and bright. I was within walking distance to all shops and the beach. I would recommend this unit to others.
We've stayed in Waikaloa many times, several times at the Shores. This is a nicely located unit. Missed a couple of things usually found in these units like placemats and BIG beach towels, really tiny little toaster.This ground level unit has poor sound insulation in the ceiling and we heard every step the lady upstairs took back and forth and back and forth. AC worked great and quietly:)
Had a wonderful stay. It would have been a 5 star stay except for the lack of blackout curtains in the bedroom, which would have helped to keep the bright sunlight from shining in at 6:30 am, and the loud footsteps of the neighbors upstairs. Maybe I should only consider a top floor property. Otherwise, everything was great!
We loved the condo, and the location was perfect for us. We had family nearby, and it was easy enough to access the areas we wanted to visit.
The only complaint/warning: if it says A/C , it doesn’t necessarily mean you will be able to make it as cold as you are used to. Ours was limited to 73 degrees, which was not close to cool enough for my spouse. Some property listings specify this; all of them should.
For that reason alone, we would look for another property for next year, but if that doesn’t concern you, this place is great.

The place is in a great location and everything went smooth. My only complaint was on the limited quantity of kitchen utensils. We had to dishwasher sometimes twice a day. If it wasn't for that I would have given 5 stars. Mahalo!
