About this property

Best View for the Money!

Everything you need for a fun vacation. A lovely, impeccably cleaned, fully-equipped home with travertine flooring, fully-equipped kitchen with granite countertops, hickory cabinets, stainless appliances, breakfast bar, teak furniture, tropical ceiling fans, bamboo vaulted ceilings, tiled bath & shower, vaulted loft/bedroom and cheerful tropical furniture. Enjoy waking up in the morning with a cup of Kona coffee from your private lanai overlooking the 6th fairway of the golf course and expansive views of the Kohala coastline.

Free access to the tennis / pickle ball courts and swimming pool right across the street. Play golf at Waikoloa Village Golf Club across the street with a supplied amenity card for discounted rates.

Beach chairs & umbrella, snorkel gear, boogey boards, towels, golf clubs, and tennis pickle-ball racquets are all in the condo ready for your use.

Some of the best beaches in the world are only 15-25 minutes away!

Your own washer and dryer is in the unit with supplied detergent. There is fast, free Internet with cable and premium channels. Enjoy fluffy towels and first-rate bed linen. This condo is truly a great value for the money.

BEFORE BOOKING, KINDLY UNDERSTAND:
1) The condo entrance is up a flight of stairs. There is no elevator.
2) The stairs to the loft (second bedroom and bath) are narrow and steeper than normal stairs, with only a partial banister.
3) The ceiling in the loft is low with a beam at 5'8". It's best for kids, or short folk like me!
4) Although there are plenty of fans, there is no air conditioning.
5) This is a no smoking / no candles property.
6) Condo association rules have a strict limit of four guests (including children) for this unit.
7) Without prior arrangements, check-in time is no sooner than 4:00 pm and check out no later than 10:00 am.
8) There is a security camera on the front porch. It DOES NOT monitor anything inside the condo.

Great rental

One week at a condo that I have stayed since 2014. It changed owners, but the new one is as attentive as the previous one - and the views of sunset, Pacific, par three golf hole are as wonderful as always. It helps to have an attentive owner living in the unit next door to make any question answered and resolved (if needed) quickly. I love it and regret I just booked a week instead of more after a long East Coast winter.

So Enjoyable!

We enjoyed our stay so much, we had the coastline view, the golfers on the course and the wildlife too! Buff left a welcome gift and the condo was clean and welcoming. We used the pool every day and got to see some of the Ironmen at their workouts. We would stay again in a heart beat!Thanks so much Buff!!!

Comfort with a view

Very well equipped and comfortable condo with a view over the golf course down to the coast Sunsets are spectacular. Close to pool, tennis courts and golf along with a market and a few good restaurants. Steep stairway to loft but nice bedroom and large bathroom if you watch for the low beam. Downstaiybed very comfortable.

Great condo!

Great condo with a great view of the sunset! Buff, the host, was great in letting us checking early and depart a little later than advertised times. Lots of extras included in the condo (boogie boards, beach chairs, scuba gear, and golf clubs, etc.). All the furniture and appliances were in very good to excellent condition. Clear instruction were labelled everywhere made it easy to get settled in. Would definitely stay here again if we return to the Big Island!

Comfortable, clean, well equipped, good location, soft and ample towels and linens, friendly host, affordable, with amazing sunsets. Only negative is the pickle ball court noise from across street. (But just close front door and you can't hear it.) Would choose again if available.

We still Love this place

This was our third visit. Buff is indeed a premier host. Very communicative and friendly. We have stayed in other places in other cities. Buff's condo excels in the fully equipped kitchen with lots of dishes, cutlery and utensils. Cupboards are labelled so you don't have to open every door to find something. He has a 'welcome' binder with all the information you need about the condo and the area. The view is fantastic. The sunsets are spectacular. What more could you ask for? The only downside to all of this is that it is hard to book this place because it is so popular.

In Our Happy Place

Wow, don't quite know how to start so I'll just jump in. First of all, Buff is one of the best hosts of a VRBO that we have come across. The condo was immaculate, views for days and a Welcome binder that was invaluable. It had information about the condo, where to find things, things to do. The location in Waiakoloa Village is optimal for adventuring! Within a 20-30 minute drive to some of the very best beaches in Hawaii, not just Big Island, the state. Close to the Saddle Road for trips to the Hilo side. (Found a couple of GREAT beaches over there for snorkeling!). The Hilo farmers market is a must do. Close enough to Kona for shopping (Costco!) The night Manta Ray snorkel is a magical time, swimming with such large, gentle creatures. The hubby went to the top of Mauna Kea for the sunset and night viewing. Spectacular photos of the Milky Way, Whirlpool galaxy, Omega Century and Nebulas. We also took a shuttle down to the Waipio Valley. We had seen it from the top many times but never ventured down. The waterfall is amazing. Like I said earlier, Buff is an outstanding host. Would respond immediately to any questions we had. Great neighbor to have. We enjoyed our conversations with him and consider Buff a new friend on the island. Thank You Buff! We will definitely be back!

Tagline is true!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this property! The tagline "best view for the money" was absolutely true. The ocean view and sunsets can't be beat! The unit was very clean and well-appointed with every last item you could use including washing bags for delicates and nice sharp knives for cooking. Truly well thought out and decorated in such a cute way. For those that may have a concern with no a/c, I can reassure you that breezes do really keep things pleasant and even cool to the point of using a blanket at night and our stay was during arguably the hottest time of year (July). Buff does a great job of communicating about this though and provides a number of fans in case they are needed. The community pool is large and has nice shaded lounges and is just across the street. Also great proximity to groceries, gas, and restaurants while being just 15 minute drive from the beach. We hope to return soon!

Perfect one week vacation

The condo was beautiful , quiet and very comfortable.. had two sleeping areas .. also excellent location with a great view of the golf course and ocean ! Was at elevation so the temperature was perfect for June/July stay. Everything we needed was there with golf right across the street .. was our base for exploring the entire island. Close to restaurants and beaches .. Buff ..the host was super nice and even provided beach/snorkel equipment so we did not have to bring our own. It was an excellent stay !! Monica and Ryan
