We had a perfect vacation! staying here in Waikoloa Beach villas K-3! The pictures online were nice but don't do it justice! It has beautiful wood floors, and modern kitchen, and a well appointed master bedroom. The patio has a great view - we ate on it every evening. And the location is awesome! The Beach Villas property is just beautiful! Two nice pools and Jacuzzis and Full of flowers, quiet, private, and gated! (and I like that it is not a huge complex- feels much nicer - like you are in an upscale neighborhood instead of high rise touristy area- because you are!) But the villas is right by the shops at King's and Queen's marketplace. Walk to both. We walked there for shopping* and dinner a couple times. Did a Kayak rental at Hulakai-We also walked to the Waikoloa beach-behind the Marriott (or drive a minute to be a little closer if you have kiddos/a lot of beach stuff to carry & Park in King's shops). But Waikoloa is not the best beach anyway -in my opinion. This Condo is in a perfect location to all the best white sand north beaches. About as close as you can stay to the wonderful beach 69 (Waialea Bay) -10 minutes, and 13 minutes to Hapuna Beach, and 15 minutes to Mauna Kea Beach. These are our favorite! We also Loved Kua Bay! We saw Dolphins and Whales there on our last day! AND the Condo had every beach supply you could need! Several umbrellas, beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, pool noodles, a cooler, etc.-all stored in the private garage. The condo itself had a very well stocked kitchen- we used the toaster oven and the rice cooker and blender for frozen drinks! I also loved the little touches- from the the little hotel soap, shampoos etc. in the bathrooms to the turned down beds. We would definitely book here again! *PS- the Queen's market place has a grocery market- we picked up a couple things we needed here (fruit, breakfast the first morning and some souvenirs) But the Foodland just north near Mauna Lani -about 8 minutes away) is generally cheaper and has more selection. Also just south of the airport in Kona is a Costco -worth a stop to grab food- and chocolate covered macadamia nuts! and also a Walmart- and don't forget to find an ABC store for a huge Hawaii T-shirts collection and souvenirs. Condo had everything you needed to start out - Dish soap and dishwasher soap, washing machine soap. paper towels, cleaners, everything! And we didn't runout or need to get more.
