We had an awesome time staying for 10 days in Waikoloa. Great unit, good golf course and sunset views, nicely furnished, lots of appreciated extras (beach stuff, kitchen stuff, etc) and updated bathrooms. Unit was perfect for our family (two adults and two kids). Great location, too. Have been to big island four times, and Waikoloa is definitely our favorite as a base to explore beaches, uplands, or even hop over to hilo side. Sunnier and more clear than Kailua-Kona, on average, and seems to be beyond most of the volcano-related smog (or "vog"). We have some asthma sufferers and happy to report that we experienced ZERO issues (July 2018). Host Maryann was very prompt and clear in communicating, and quite generous in helping us solve a scheduling issue. Awesome unit, awesome host, awesome location. Highly recommend, and will stay here again next time we travel to big island.
