Fantastic vacation! My family has been going to Kolea for several years now and I've always preferred this building for it's proximity to the pool and beach. I've rented this exact unit before on VRBO and got put in touch with Cliff when I contacted the old owners to rent it again (apparently Cliff recently took over the operation of this unit). It has definitely been improved and I will absolutely return! The new décor is modern and tasteful with a great Polynesian/tropical flair. The carpet and sofa looked brand new, and all the amenities were still there. As for the area: I've always loved Waikoloa, so nothing new there - the beach out front is one of my favorite in the world. Make sure to check out the Lava Lava restaurant down on the beach - great happy hour and the perfect place to sip a cocktail right on the sand.
