Waikoloa Colony Villas 1703

We typically love staying at WCV. This trip did not live up to our expectations due to the lack of communication with Vacasa as well as the inconvenience of work being done on our unit for the entirety of our 2 week stay. Other than that, this condo had everything we needed to be comfortable.

Location was perfect.

We absolutely loved our stay at Waikoloa Colony Villas 1703! The Villas was incredibly clean, and beautifully maintained, giving us the perfect home-away-from-home feeling during our vacation. We stayed at the Wikiki Hotel in Honolulu for a week and ate out every day, and we were already tired of eating outside food. We knew the villas had a kitchen and cookware. We wanted to make breakfast and dinner ourselves. There were some seasons I guessed maybe some guests left over but nothing for me to use. Before we arrived on the Big Island, I asked Google AI Gemini, it said there would be some seasonings like salt and pepper, but probably no oil. So after we arriving on the Big Island, we bought a box of 24 eggs and a box of instant ramen noodles at Costco, and bought a small bottle of oil and a small bottle of garlic salt, and English muffins for breakfast at Walmart for 10 days stayed in Volcano Lodge and Waikoloa Colony Villas. The Villas had many cooking pots and frying pans in the kitchen, but many of bottoms of frying pans have bulged up, so they don’t make good contact with the electronic stove top. The only frying pan that seemed to be used was flat, but it looked greasy and no one has washed it. I washed it and used it to fry eggs. They even had rice cooker, so we went out to supermarket bought a small bag of rice. When I booked this Villas on Booking.com, I read the description of this villa saying there was no parking. I wondered where to park our rented car. I read reviews but no one mentioned this. I was thinking since others stayed there and didn’t complain about having no parking, there should be parking spaces. When we arrived, we saw that there were marked parking spaces right across from the house, all marked with the house number. If you park in a spot corresponding to your villa number, no one else would occupy your spot. Over all, we really enjoyed staying there. By the way, I recommend people who stay this villa drive to Pololū Valley Lookout, is opposite of Waipio Valley Lookout, very pretty scenery. When you back, drive from Hawi to Waimea, the most beautiful route on big island! With both sides of the road look like old Microsoft’s famous desktop background picture. The scenery was like a landscape painting.

If you are looking for a clean, spacious, comfortable home this is it. The furniture and beds are comfortable. The unit is modern looking with nice appliances. There is no dining table on the patio but you can sit and have a beverage. The unit is close to the tennis/pickleball court, fitness room and main pool. The pool is beautiful; however the lounge chairs are not very comfortable and strangely there are no side tables for your drink and book so you have to put your things on the ground. With over 150 units in the complex there is only 1 jacuzzi tub and it can get busy in the evening. The location of the unit in Waikoloa Beach Resort is close to some nice shops and several restaurants. There are some great beaches close by and easy access to Saddle Road across to Hilo and the volcano park.

We loved our stay here with our kids. We had family in a nearby condo as well. Great location and beautiful views from our lanais. There wasn’t many sand toys or beach chairs like our families condo had but thankfully they had some to share with us. It was spacious and clean and had great cooler and air conditioning was a huge plus. We will definitely stay again.
