Our 2nd time staying in Waikoloa area of the Big Island. This one was better than the last despite staying in a 2 bedroom place vs 3 bedroom last time. We used unfolding sofa in the living room. Vacasa changed for better, and they are very responsive and are establishing their brand. I asked them for things twice and the responded quickly. Once I asked if by [random] chance they got bicycle wrenches and a guy stopped with those in an hour and I was able to fix bikes in the garage. They forgot to mention there are 2 full suspension basic mountain bikes in the garage and 2 locks for that with the key for parking bikes so that you can get to the beach by Lava Lava beach club. The place got AC and more than what's described by Vacasa (like the bikes and rice and multi cooker. There's beach stuff in the garage for folks from baby to retired. It's a townhouse you can live in. Don't want car to get hot- take care to park it in the garage or the parking spot is 40 steps away. The pool is right behind the tennis court (you got balls and rackets in the clauset by garage door). One room by the pool is for weight lifting with weight machines. The other one got TV with cable and 15 year old maintained cardio machines (5 of them). I used elliptical and the thing was grossly undercounting calories. But I don't care as my shirt was soaking wet and AC did me good in the gym. I got ALL I wanted out of the gyms. I love the jacuzzi to with or without bubbles- it's the right temperature. When you are by the waterfall of the pool look opposite of it and you'll see observatories atop Mauna Loa. We went to the Volcano park. Last time we rented a Jeep for double but it's mostly waste of $ as there literally only green sand beach (barely green) and Waipio Valley where you might need it (no they don't let you climb Mauna's you sign papers you won't). You can walk in all those places instead. The pool on the other side of the complex we used only once and there's no jacuzzi there. But it's great for toddlers as there is 1.5 foot deep section for them. Don't Hilo yourself- it's trash mesh of streets with unpainted uncared for buildings. We've been there twice, and stayed in the area for 4 days. I don't mind occasional happy Hawaiian rains there, but it's the depressing atmosphere in Hilo itself. Around hilo are unusual and cool swimming beaches (where you use pool type of rail to step into sand beach patches of lava labyrinths on the bottom. I't like tide pools but with water on top where low valleys are filled with sand. Find the Kauilua Kona downtown, as you drive past airport and by all Costco Walmart Safeway targets turn right on Henry St. Way better than Hilo, and you can find tiny beach to swim there by a pier. This is the island you look and find stuff - the place is "Big". After staying at all 4 main islands I can tell you that Honolulu is the worst stay - too many people hussle and bussle. This island is the most laid back. If. you got the moonless night when you visit you owe it to yourself driving up Mauna Loa or Mauna Kea (just go where the clouds aren't). 11,000ft is enough and you'll see sky you'll remember and understand why locals know those mountain tops as sacred.
