Functional rental
Some context for my review: I had previously booked another rental in Waikoloa which the owner listed for sale and I was unable to stay as planned. This unit was available for part of my stay as a replacement. My perspective is from having booked three units and staying in two of them.
The good:
- Waikoloa beach resort is a beautiful manicured area with most of the amenities you would need very close by. This unit, in the Colony Villas, is a bit on the perimeter of the resort area and is a bit longer walk to the shops, restaurant, beach, etc.
- There are some very beautiful beaches with great amenities a short drive up the coast. Hapuna, Spencer’s, Beach 69 and the Mauna Kea beach are glorious. The unit has a decent selection of beach gear, including chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards, snorkels, etc. A better cooler and additional freezer packs (there is one) would be ideal
- The unit is a short walk to the “kid” pool at the complex, and the pools are in very good condition (however the other pool, which includes the hot tub/spa, is a bit of a walk)
- The kitchen has been updated, includes new appliances, and has most tools/utensils you would want (a pair of scissors would be a helpful addition)
- The property manager is responsive and provides additional value-added services
- The indoor temperature is easily managed with the ceiling fans or a/c
The not as good:
- The master bathroom shower needs an overhaul. The shower head is pathetic, the tile and grout is worn and there is ample mildew
- The bathroom exhaust fans need replacement (which should help with the mildew). The main floor bath exhaust sounds like the entire unit is on spin cycle and the upstairs bathrooms are marginally better
- The master bedroom bed (or foundation?) needs replacement. Reminded me of visiting grandma’s house
- The second bedroom door requires maintenance or replacement, in that it gets stuck in the jamb (unable to fully close or open) depending on the humidity
Overall, the unit works. I did not find that it presented great value compared to other units in the area, but that could be addressed with some refurbishment from the owner.
