3 Bedroom Spacious Waikoloa Beach Resort

Big Island Condo…

5 / 5

The condo was very nice and clean and at a great location - it was all that we could have asked for. We had plenty of room for a party of 8 and the kitchen was stocked fully with everything you would need to cook. It was a very peaceful location and a great way to end our vacation. The condo was close to beaches and within about a 30 minute drive to Kona. Our first location was Waikiki - we knew it was going to be busy there so we just wanted to finish our vacation just sitting back and relaxing before heading home and Melissa’s place was absolutely perfect for that. In the mornings we would sit out on the shaded balcony off the master bedroom and relax, drink coffee, and listen to the birds. The teens would go out bike riding along the many paths at the Waikoloa Colony complex. The smaller kids would be down stairs in the family room playing on their Nintendo Switch they brought along. Then in the afternoon we would go snorkeling or take a drive to the Hilo side of the island to sight see and be back to cook a family dinner. The only issue we had was that our car rental was a Chevy Suburban (a big vehicle) and the parking spot was a little narrow. There were “public” spaces next to tennis courts located across the drive way that may have been suitable, but we never had to park there. This is nothing to do with the condo, but we had to cut our stay short by a day because of the pandemic. When we were there the county was just starting to shut down and Hawaii starting to follow suit. The stores at Kings and Queens shop were just starting to close and the restaurants there started offering carry out only. The Costco in Kona already had a very long line just to get into it. We’ll definitely have to make another trip to the Big Island in the future when there isn’t a pandemic happening and stay longer. We would definitely book with Melissa again when we return to the Big Island.…The condo was very nice and clean and at a great location - it was all that we could have asked for.

Exceptional Value For Family! Beautiful Views & Sunsets! 3 Bedroom Condo

Expedia Verified Review…

2 / 5

Before coming to the Big Island we called the property management, Hawaiis4Me Vacation Rental, and we were assured that the place will be ready for us when we arrive. However, to our dismay it wasn’t as we expected. We were shocked to find that the condo was a mess, dirty, with bedding sheets, towels, etc. on the floors, and a ceiling panel was open to the attic! Tiphany, the vacation rental staff, was also concerned, very apologetic and immediately made calls. Long story short, thereafter, the place was cleaned and the next day, the carpet was shampooed. We had to go elsewhere as these chores were done, especially until the carpet was dried. We couldn’t believe these had happened to our first two days of vacation! Tiphany, on behalf of her team, sent us a gift card to make amends, and for which we expressed our thanks. But with all said and done, we truly regret the failed expectations and inconvenience we suffered, not to mention some restful time lost. Our final word: Property management staff should personally visit and check the rental place and everything in it before the arrival of guests, to make sure that it has been cleaned, that it’s really tidy, neat, safe, and readily livable.. for the comfort, convenience and satisfaction of their guests.…Before coming to the Big Island we called the property management, Hawaiis4Me Vacation Rental, and we were assured that the place will be ready for us when we arrive.
