[Please consider obtaining traveler's insurance coverage for this reservation if your dates are at all insecure. We cannot extend a refund to parties that cancel within 60 days of check-in. We request a 7-night minimum stay and a 12-night minimum for bookings during the end-of-year holidays.]

Enjoy urban sophistication in a tropical setting from our top-floor, corner oceanview condo in the Waikoloa Beach Resort on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Sunlight fills the space and the lanai faces west, providing a shaded breakfast area during the heat of the day, and fantastic sunsets as the evening breezes rise. Simply put, this is the Vista's best view.

Inside, you'll experience a level of luxurious and harmonious design rarely found in vacation rentals. High-end integrated appliances in the kitchen, rich chocolate accents and platform beds, down duvets and pillows, a stand-alone spoon tub and two walk-in rainshowers, large-format ceramic tile, two HDTVs, and a gorgeous sound system all conspire to relax and indulge the guest.

The master suite has a king bed, the guest bedroom has a queen, and the sleeper sofa is full-size; all mattresses have memory-foam toppers. A floor plan (1602 square feet total, including 341 square feet of exterior living) with generous public spaces makes sharing good times easy--at the breakfast counter, at the formal dining table, chilling on the plush sectional sleeper or chaise in the living room, or on the lanai's chaises or dining table.

We brought our kitchen and baths back to their framing and down to the slab, and then rebuilt to our ideal. These lavishly and thoughtfully appointed rooms complement our earlier upgrades to the bedrooms and living areas. Must-see photos at our website, Big Island Bliss!

The Vista Waikoloa has a fenced three-lane pool with two spas, a barbecue pavilion and a well-equipped workout room. The Vista is a charter development of the Waikoloa Beach Resort, and so enjoys some its most-favored frontage, across the drive and between the Hilton Waikoloa and the Waikoloa Beach Marriott. The beach at A-Bay and the restaurants of the King's and Queen's Shops are just a 10 minute walk away.

This tiny pocket of the Kohala Coast enjoys the best weather on the islands: with less than 10 inches of rain annually, the winds and water are often calm in the morning, giving way to breezes in the evening as the cool descends from Mauna Kea. Temperatures commonly top out at 83 degrees F (27C) Sept-May, and 86 degrees F (29C) June-August, before the breezes descend in late afternoon.

We are within a fifteen-minute drive of the state's loveliest beaches. There may be some winter surf at these beaches, and we have a couple of boogie boards ready for use on the lanai. We also supply coolers, beach chairs, snorkeling set-ups and pool toys for our guests.

The abundance of sea life on the Kona Coast makes the island a world-class dive and snorkeling destination. If you are visiting between December and April, the whales may be in during your stay — look for mother-calf pairs cavorting in A-Bay while you enjoy your breakfast on the lanai.

One of the Big Island's many pleasures is its innocence -- beyond the resort areas, it's far less cosmopolitan than Oahu or Maui, and far less traveled. You can make a day of discovering little beaches to call your own, you can get out in the country and be with real people very quickly, and there are many sacred sites to visit -- it's a more spiritual, less commercial Hawai'ian experience. There's still plenty of Old Hawai'i here.

It's also incredibly diverse, geographically: with 8 of the planet’s climate regions are represented, you can almost pinpoint the transition from 'dry side' / Kona lava field to 'wet side' / Hilo rain forest as you venture afield.

A301 is an ideal base from which to explore the incredible diversity of the Big Island. You'll probably want a rental car, and might need AWD or 4WD if you choose to off-road and explore some of the more remote beaches or challenging mountain roads.

After a day of diving with the garden eels off the Kona Coast, or sunning and snorkeling at Hapuna Beach or tidepooling at Puako, or playing 18 holes at the Makani Golf Club course, raise the perfect Mai Tai and share the magic as you savor the sunset from our large, wraparound lanai.

A beautiful spot for romance, retreat or recharging, please consider Vista Waikoloa A301.

Heavenly
The sunsets! Oh my, the sunsets! We stayed 5 weeks in this marvelous home. From the moment we entered we were wowed. Immaculate, beautifully decorated and well appointed. We are serious cooks and this exceeded our expectations for cooking equipment, spices, linens, and serving ware. Very comfortable furnishings. The wrap around lanai has unobstructed ocean and sunset views. During our stay we had a 70th birthday party for 35 people at the Vista Waikoloa pavilion most from the mainland. A perfect venue for celebrations, the pavilion can be reserved at no charge and you have complimentary use of tables and chairs. This was our 3rd stay at a Vista Waikoloa condo and this is by far the best unit. The community amenities including pool, hot tubs, gym, and business center make our stays enjoyable. You can conveniently ship items for your stay that are held in the mailroom awaiting your arrival. But back to the sunsets, nearly every evening we hosted small groups of friends and relatives in town for the party to magnificent sunsets over pupus or dinner. Although most of our party guests stayed in Vista Waikoloa condors, needless to say ours was the place to be at 6:00 pm. Our highest praise to Judith and Brendan for hosting an exceptional property.

Awesome Big Island Location
My husband I stayed at this property for two wonderful weeks. It's mid-island location was excellent for all of the wandering and exploration one could want to do. Plus, the condo was beautifully appointed and very relaxing. It has a large lanai, a great kitchen, beautiful bathrooms and a lovely, large living/dining area that is just perfect for enjoying a great meal and unwinding at the end of a busy day. The owners were such gracious hosts - so helpful and wonderful to work with. The welcome basket was delightful and so appreciated. We hope to return again soon.

Big Island Bliss
This property was amazing! If you’re looking for a beautiful home to come back to at the end of the day, this is the place. Very quiet retirement community with great views of the ocean from the huge patios. We saw whales and the sunset on multiple occasions. The place is very well stocked and has everything you could ever need. Communication with the owner is quick and effortless. If you don’t stay here, you’re missing out on the best stay in Waikoloa.

About the host

Hosted by Brendan Hickey and Judith Wright

Host profile image
Your hosts (that's us on the right in the photo) live and work in Marin County. Judith grew up in Ireland and England, and thus has an unquenchable desire for sun and more sun. Brendan is from Boston and cannot imagine living any distance from the ocean. They met at Area, the nightclub, in NYC in 1984. Their two daughters (photo, left) are as different as night and day, but share a great reverence for nature and a laudable desire to save the world. Abby (photo, center) is Jud's old roommate, Brendan's dive buddy and the girls' fairy godmother.

Why they chose this property

After a decade of structuring vacations around dive destinations, first in the Caribbean and Mexico, and then Maui, Kauai and Lanai, we found and fell in love with The Big Island's innocence, diversity and freshness. Considering the planning and expense that goes into a family vacation, we also wanted to assure ourselves of a place with reliably good weather, and Kohala answers all our needs. The Vista is a charter resort on Waikoloa Beach Drive, with a well-thought-out plan, gorgeous mature plantings and a singularly relaxed and unaffected air.

What makes this property unique

• A delightful, fully-equipped home from which to explore the splendors of the Big Island
• The Vista's loveliest ocean view from the lanai
• The best weather on the archipelago
