This was our second stay at this condo and we loved it just as much as the first time. The condo was very clean and well-stocked. Like last time, we were welcomed with a bowl of fresh fruit!We were also delighted with all the recent updates including new countertops, floor, sleeper-sofa and TV.Great location, near King's/Queen's and A-bay. Very nice host! Lin is just amazing! What more could you ask for?

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this very nice condominium situated in a resort area with nearby beaches, pool, tennis courts, outdoor BBQ/grill. The property had all the amenities including brand new TV, brand new stove for cooking food. The owner also provided fresh fruits from her farm. They also had beach amenities including snorkeling and body board equipment, beach umbrellas, etc. We felt like we were home. I highly recommend staying here. The place is extremely quiet and there are wonderful shops and restaurants very close by.

Perfect!

Condo was absolutely spotless and smelled clean. Everything you need in a home away from home is provided. There is even an amazing bowl of fresh local fruit waiting in the kitchen for you. King bed was amazingly comfortable. Bathroom is spacious and so is the shower. It is a quiet community but everyone that I ran in to seemed to be having a good time. The property is located deep in Waikoloa Village just before the Hilton Waikoloa property. It is a gated community so I felt very safe

Wonderful Condo

We are leaving today after a four week stay, and we enjoyed the property very much. This is our second time in this condo, and we don't generally repeat. Lin is great to work with, the location is perfect, the development is the best in the Waikoloa area in our opinion, and the condo itself is very comfortable. We would definitely recommend this rental and plan to return ourselves someday soon. Thanks Lin!

Clean and comfortable

I was visiting friends but also needed a clean and comfortable space for working while visiting. The condo had good lighting, good internet, and was perfect for what I was looking for. The parking spot is right next to the building. The bed was comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. I was visiting friends so did not try the pool or facilities. I went every day to Island Vintage Coffee and bought myself either a bagel or egg sandwich and a yummy coconut coffee. Also, very convenient to the Kona Airport.

A great place to stay

This is our second stay at this condo. On our first stay we were not only impressed with the condo, but even more the friendliness and helpfulness of the owner. Like the first visit, Lin placed a plate of fresh fruit from her own farm in the kitchen to greet us. We even visited her farm and met Lin and her husband. When we decided to go to Hawaii this time we immediately reserved this condo without even considering any others because we knew we would be happy with it and the host as well. One has to be nit picking to find fault with this condo. If we return to Hawaii again we will looking at this condo again. Thanks Lin!

Peaceful and perfect!

My daughter and I absolutely loved our time here, especially after spending 2 days at the Hilton. Our stay here was so peaceful and exactly what we wanted. The Lanai was perfect for watching the sunrise each morning and listening to the birds. The breeze at night kept everything cool and we never needed to turn the air conditioning on, we loved that. Everything for a perfect Beach day was available too... Chairs, towels, a cooler and even a boogie board. Hapuna Beach is just a short drive up the road and is not to be missed. The complex pool was never crowded and the water was the perfect temperature. The condo has been upgraded since the were photos taken,there are new counter tops, flooring, bathroom remodeled and a very nice sleeper sofa. Lin was a wonderful host as well, even leaving a plate of fruit from her farm for us to enjoy. It really felt like we were home instead of on vacation. We hope to come back again someday!

Absolutely the best!

First of all, we loved the area! It was so peaceful. Easy walk to grocery and shops and also just about a 15 minute walk to the beach. Great restaurants in the area The condo itself could not have been nicer It was clean and better stocked than any condo. We have stayed in in the last 25 years. The fresh fruit left for us was above and beyond.We will definitely stay there again on our next visit to Hawaii

Great Host, Great Location, Could Use Some More Work

The host was outstanding. Lin had fruit from her farm when we arrived and had us out to the farm to enjoy all its pleasures. We have stayed in this develpment often due to its location. The lanai was a great place to eat outside and relax on the lounge chairs. The new sofa was very comfortable, but with that said, the loveseat is uncomfortable and needs to be replaced. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. The dresser drawers kept falling out and should be addressed. People below us complained a couple of times, but not sure how we could have been more quiet. It's just the nature of units in this development. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable stay with a wonderful host!

Looking for a relaxful stay.

We were excited when we arrived and needed to unwind after 2 weeks of activities in New Zealand. We had a funtime while visiting our O'hana family who live nearby. The villa was perfect for me and my husband. Ideally located for all the activities we love doing.

A hands-on owner makes a huge difference!

A large one bedroom condo that is perfect for a short stay. Spotless and squeaky clean! When we couldn’t get the bedding TV to work, the owner immediately came over to help us. When we left we accidentally forgot to pack a few items and Lin called us to alert us. The bathroom has been remodeled and a new sofa is in the living room. They plan on renovating the kitchen next, though it is adequate now. We are not big fans of Waikaloa Beach crevasse there are so many visitors there, but this condo provided for our needs.

We had a lovely stay! The owner - Lin was top notch greeted us upon arrival, brought us a wonderful spread of fruit to enjoy, and was always available if we had any questions. The area is a great spot for morning walks down to the water, and location to stores and restaurants was very good. The pool was never to crowded, and at the end of the day the hot tub was great to enjoy!

Disappointing

We enjoyed the convenient location of this condo for exploring the Kohala Coast. The written instructions for finding it were very detailed and helpful and we appreciated being able to do laundry and borrow beach chairs. As others have noted, the owner left a generous platter of fruit. While this is an expensive area to stay in, our experience felt like a poor value. All the knives were dull, even for cutting a papaya; the fridge light was broken; there was no kettle for boiling water and just one kitchen towel. The toilet makes a loud, high pitched sound every time it gets flushes; the light in the shower is broken; and there are not enough towel bars or hooks for bath and hand towels. The sofa bed in the living room is very soft and saggy. There was no guide with any tips for what to do with the trash, where to buy groceries, etc. While the owner was responsive to specific questions, we had minimal communication with her. We had a much more positive experience in Kona for a fraction of the cost.

About the host

Hosted by Lin Tottle

Host profile image
Lin and I have been friends for many years When Lin decided to purchase this condo, she called me and asked me to take care of the management for her. My husband Rick and I own a small Real Estate company here on the Big Island called South Island Realty.

Why they chose this property

We want to provide a comfortable, affordable, well located place to land. We want to help others discover what we already have...that the slower pace, the Hawaiian style of living here is good for the soul, you will relax in body and mind in this tropical paradise, and that's a good thing.

What makes this property unique

The spirit of aloha.
