Week in Kona
We booked this Vrbo for 8 days for a spring break trip. The unit was clean and well stocked. We also appreciated all the beach equipment as previous rentals didn't come with anything. We would stay here again.

Family getaway
Our first time to the Big Island. We think Kolea is the perfect place to stay with a beautiful beach for swimming, a lovely pool and hot tub and a relaxed but luxurious vibe. We liked being walking distance to shops and restaurants as well. The unit was as advertised. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make family meals. Beds were really comfortable. The unit is well maintained for a rental property. We would definitely stay again.

We have stayed here multiple times in ten years. It is a fantastic location. This unit could be best served with some updates to the interior furnishings. They are getting a bit old and worn.

Great stay, perfect for our family
We had a very nice stay at this unit. I was worried about previous reviews mentioning questionable cleanliness but that certainly wasn’t the case during our stay. The renting management company assured me that the carpets, etc were thoroughly cleaned and indeed they were. I was really impressed with how soft the carpet was as a matter of fact. Beds were comfortable, unit was spacious, kitchen had everything you need, loved the beach gear and location was great. Happy we picked this place for our stay!

This place is filthy!
The unit is filthy. The owners or property management are not doing their job of which we paid as part of our stay. Carpeting filthy, lani tile sticky in areas. Dining room chairs filthy. Wondered why bathroom smelled, toilet bowl brush had poop and toilet paper stuck to brush and the liquid in the brush holder was disgusting. AC in main bedroom not working well. Probably clogged vents restricting air flow. The ceiling in the living room near the vent is black with dust. Went to Resortica Hawaii office near complex. When I told them I was staying in unit 16b they asked how was everything. I told them it was filthy. Their response “. Oh thank you for that feedback we need to hear those things. I will let our manager know.” No one called or contacted us, zip, nothing. Walls dirty and need painting. This is not just bad housekeeping. This has been going on for some time for the place to look like this. Yet they charge all these fees and you pay top dollar and don’t get what you pay for. My advice don’t rent this unit. I’ll be requesting reimbursement.

Thank you for taking the time to speak with us regarding your recent stay. Guest feedback is invaluable to us, and we deeply regret any instance where our services don't meet expectations. Effective communication is crucial, and we clearly did not realize that you were facing challenges with cleanliness. We have addressed the issues stated, and attended to the areas you pointed out. We have a long track record of providing quality, clean and inviting vacation homes. We have staff in the area daily, and would never knowingly neglect to respond to any guest concern. That being said, we are actively working towards replacing the flooring, and have increased the frequency of carpet cleaning - until that goal can be met - considering the importance of aesthetics to our guests' overall experience. We are committed to offering an exemplary experience for our guests. We deeply regret that we did not achieve this on this occasion.

Very disappointing. The “Lazy River” was not what one would expect…no tubes or currents. The main kid friendly pool was full of adults spilling their drinks into water. There was very little shade and it was hot! Unless you were prepared to pay $150 for a 2 seated shaded lounger. Never again!

Great location
Great location and amenities. Top notch appliances and cooking utensils. The carpet and floors are really dirty and had to lay towels down to sit on the floor. The dinning room chairs are also really dirty. The place needs a good scrubbing. All that said we had a good time and other units we have stayed at are normally clean.

Aloha Andrew, we appreciate this feedback. The carpet was cleaned just a month prior to your arrival. We will address this with the owner - as we understand the importance of feeling comfortable in your vacation home. We are sorry you did not reach out with concerns during your stay, as we always like to remedy issues while you are here. We hope you will give us the opportunity to make it up to you!

Wonderful Waikaloa
Lovely setting, great 2br/2bath condo quietly situated at the end of a cul-de-sac. All as advertised, with thoughtful appointments of the necessities for a traveling family. Not convenient to the Hilton hotel/resort facilities - our only quibble. But includes access to a very nice private beach club with small pool, hot tub, kiddy splash pond and fitness room. Perfect for families with older kids who don’t “need” a Disney-esque water park. Rate this highly for a nice blend of comfort and convenience!

Mothers Day Weekend staycation.
4 mamas and some littles over Mothers Day Weekend. Great stay. Property was beautiful and came equipped with everything we needed and beds were super comfy. Hilton Pool Day Pass a +++! And the beach access to A-Bay was so convenient. Water pressure and temperature was a little low. But other than that, the only recommendation would be to supply a map of the property in the unit or on the confirmation email/app (had map of Hilton property but not Kolea). At least i searched and couldnt fine. Had to pull it up on google. No big deal - would just be a nice convenience. Great stay! Thanks so much!

Spacious beautiful condo
We had a great stay at 16B. It was enough room for our family. The condo was spacious and beautifully decorated, comfortable and well stocked. I wish the listing made it a little more clearer that Hilton Resort is a drive away, then to get to any of their pools is another long walk or boat/train ride if you are lucky. So with a little kids it was a lot of driving/walking back and forth and it took awhile. Walking distance to the beach was a huge plus. Overall, this is a great place to stay.

Love Kolea
This is our 4th stay at Kolea. Only needed 2 bedrooms this trip and this property was perfect. Nice master bedroom and bath. The guest room with 2 queen beds and 2 separate sink/counter areas in the bathroom was perfect for two adult family members. Kitchen, living room and lanai as described and met our needs. Hope to return next year.

Wonderful location, very spacious apartment
The location is amazing - steps from one of our favorite Lava-Lava beaches, stores nearby, access to Hilton’s lagoon (ideal for little kids) and pools, Marriott within a three-minute walk for breakfast. The apartment is very spacious and nice, convenient and well-maintained. A very smooth check-in process and all the instructions very simple to follow. The only cons were the following: old air conditioning system that can’t provide an even temperature throughout the apartment - one of the bedrooms was a lot stuffier and hotter while the other one was cooling off very quickly. The shower holder was loose and the shower wasn’t staying in place. The tea kettle was not electric and in a very bad condition (rusty or dirty) - unusable .

Wonderful Waikoloa
Loved the property grounds. The pool and sandy waterfall area for the children was perfect to relax and play. Our accommodations were the nicest Iʻve ever been in Waikoloa. Very clean and the kitchen and appliances was more than we expected. Bed comforter was so soft and comfortable and bed was perfect in firmness. Bathrooms were very spacious in both rooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would love to visit your property again!! Mahalo nui!!

overall, very nice. I would have preferred to get the check out instructions at the same time I received the check in instructions. I was with my family and doing events, so did not read my emails until I got home. There were a couple other minor issues, but overall - pretty good.

Greta place
This was a very nice place. It was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed it. It was in a good location to the pool and the beach nearby. The parking outside is yours and you don’t have to search for a parking spot. Only comes with one beach umbrella and three of the six chairs where the normal tall camping chairs not beach chairs. I have mentioned this to the management company. For six people I think there should be at least 2 umbrellas and six camping chairs.

Couldn't ask for a better trip
This property was everything it advertised and more. We had more than enough space for our family of 4 (and the dual vanities in the second bathroom kept my teenagers with more than enough of their own space), anything we could need in the kitchen and an easy walk to the beautiful pool and beach. This was a perfect area to base ourselves out of and we would book again in a heartbeat!
