For those wanting to steer clear of the Kona crowds and still wanting a community with amenities (groceries, shops, restaurants) I would recommend this Waikoloa beach property. It’s minutes away from several nice beaches and only 30 minutes north of Kona (20 to the airport).
The property itself it situated around a golf course and have a very nice pool, hot tub(s), and a centralized BBQ area.
My only concerns with the unit was the furniture seemed a bit dated. A nice upgrade/remodel would help put it into stiff competition with other rentals in the area. I feel these units have an advantage in the area due to their size and large wrapping balconies.
I’d recommend this property as it was a pretty good value for its size and it’s proximity to so many things on that side on Hawaii. I’d return again, for sure.
