We sincerely enjoyed our stay at Jim's villa in Waikoloa. It was very hot and humid most days (92-94F), however the lava rock pool was literally a 30 second walk from the villa. The villa is in a very quiet and gated community. The villa provided all the necessary amenities you could possibly ask for like beach towels, beach umbrellas, beach chairs, snorkel gear, etc. to mention a few. The kitchen was fully equipped and the washer and dryer were a nice plus. Two shopping malls are within a 5 minute car drive and provide all the necessary shopping you need. Some of our personal favorites were Hapuna Beach, Tropics Ale House, Lava Lava Beach Club and most of all Ulu's Ocean Grill and Sushi Lounge. Jim was super responsive and a fantastic host. We also appreciated his flexibility to let us add an additional day. We highly recommend staying at this villa if you plan on visiting the Island of Hawai'i. Thank you Jim for making our family vacation a memorable one!
