A Hawaii vacation should be effortless and relaxing.
That’s why we offer outstanding amenities, special care for immediate needs,
and dozens of little extra touches that add up to a lot.
What a perfect place to explore the Big Island from! Perfectly located to quickly get to all the west side beaches, as well as the north side. We loved visiting the many beaches, plus hiking Pololu, and heading up to Mauna Kea for a nighttime star viewing.
The beach toy closet was VERY stocked with everything you could possibly want, which was fantastic for being near the beach. We were able to outfit two adults and a child with snorkel equipment and water shoes, plus have beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and a cooler — and that still barely made a dent in what was available.
The recommendations and communications from the owners were flawless. Plus, this place was spotlessly clean — absolutely wonderful.

Our family of four (2 adults and 2 teens) loved our stay in this condo! Clean, spacious, comfortable and just as pictured. Every little amenity and detail thought of to contribute to a relaxing and stress free vacation—snorkeling gear, beach towels and wagon, fully outfitted kitchen (with the same awesome Ninja blender I have at home for smoothies or tropical drinks!), stocked with condiments and things like paper towels and trash bags so we didn’t have to purchase.
Close to everything in Waikoloa (walkable), relaxing and beautiful complex and view. Lovely large patio, A/C worked great (just make sure to fully close the patio doors!). So sad to leave—next time need ten days. Heidi Joy was incredibly prompt and checkin/out, every step was easy and clearly communicated. Highly recommend, excellent experience and service all around!

This home is so beautiful. Waking up each morning to watch the sunrise from the bed, living room, lanai — well, from everywhere — was simply breathtaking. Seriously, it made me so happy! The swimming pool is also so refreshing (and yes it is heated).
Relaxing in the living room made it hard to leave because it is just so comfortable! Especially being able to stream your favorite movies and shows. All the cooking amenities were fantastic. Watching the golfers from the lanai was fun when you really want to do nothing but it is pretty rare to see anyone. Very peaceful and quiet home indeed.

My husband and I really appreciated all the thought and planning of this hosts place. There is everything you need here for a very comfortable and relaxed vacation. It’s clean, bright and airy with excellent new appliances and every other household comfort. It’s a great location looking at a lovely golf course with excellent shops and beaches close by. The swimming pool was fabulous too. I hope we can come back here in the future.

We had such a great stay here. The condo was spacious and clean, the kitchen was fully stocked, the washer and dryer were useful, and it was SO nice having ALL of the beach gear and the pack’n’play. It made our lives so much easier while traveling with a 10 month old. We’d definitely stay here again! Mahalo!

The closet with the “beach toys” has everything you need to go the pool or the beach. We had coffee and breakfast on the lanai to the sunrise and enjoyed the view of the mountains in the distance. Lots to do in walking distance. We would highly recommend and would plan to use again next time we are on Big Island!
—Christina from California
We really enjoyed our stay at the condo during our recent vacation. It was a nice treat having a Keurig there for morning coffees and the condo was extremely well stocked with absolutely everything you would need for the beach, stay and cooking. We stayed at two condos during our stay and this one was leaps ahead of the other for amenities and convenience of home.
Great pots/pans/utensils — better than my own! We never turned on the TVs but there were two in the unit for those who like some quiet evenings in. The location is really close to the Hilton, so it was an easy stroll a few meters away to go and enjoy the facilities there and watch the dolphins.
Hosts were excellent. Highly recommend.
—Sheri from British Columbia
This was the perfect stay for our little family — impeccably clean, fully stocked, beautifully renovated, perfectly cozy! It was truly home away from home.
The location and amenities could not be better. The pool on the property is fantastic, the beach is close by, there is easy access to restaurants and shopping, yet everything is quiet and peaceful in beautiful Waikoloa.
The condo had everything we needed for staying in and adventuring around the island. We are already missing breakfasts on the spacious lanai and cannot wait to go back! Would not hesitate to return to this property again and again.

Vista Waikoloa is centrally located in the Waikoloa Beach resort. It's within walking distance to the restaurants/shops & A-Bay beach. This condo is located on the golf course, with no road noise. It's spacious and has a very large lanai. Also, the pool & spa at this complex is spectacular. The gym is on the small side, but it's so much nicer to go for a jog along Waikoloa Beach Dr. The condo was clean, and Heidi was an excellent host, providing me with all kinds of local tips for my stay.
—Rick from Denver, Colorado
This condo is amazing!! It is big, clean, it has all the kitchen appliances you can think of. Well equipped with beach gear and snorkeling. Beds in both bedrooms are super comfy and it is exactly what you need after spending your day in the beach.
Heidi was so helpful sending the list of secret beaches, with all the details about how to get in there, location, parking hours, etc. We visited almost all the beaches in the list. My husband, daughter and I had an awesome family vacation!! Hope to get back again and stay in there soon!
—Delia from Alaska
Wow this place was fantastic! We selected Heidi Joy’s place on the previous reviews and her place did not disappoint. The location of the condo was perfect! The condo itself, was beautiful yet cozy. All the amenities you would need for a perfect stay. They have a wide range of beach chairs, ice chest, snorkeling gear & more. Which made traveling a breeze.
Heidi Joy’s communication leading up to and during our trip was impeccable. She has included a very detailed guide of various different activities, beaches & restaurants that was helpful. She really helped making our 30th anniversary magical.

This condo is very private and quiet. It was perfect for us and our 6 month old. There is a manager on site who was very attentive and helpful with any questions we had. Check in and out was easy. The patio is large and faces the sunrise with a beautiful view of the golf course. It was windy but the patio was very protected and we had a great time sitting outside while the wind blew the palm trees around us. The pool is very clean and warm and the beds and towels were soft and comfortable.
There were postcards provided for us which was a nice touch. Across the golf course from the patio was a lava flow. It was fun to walk out on it and look at the rocks. The Tropics Ale House was a 1 minute walk and had great food. Lava Lava beach club was a great restaurant 1 mile away right on the beach. We ate there twice it was so good. There are shops and a market as well as other resorts and restaurants within a mile. We will definitely stay here again. Heidi was wonderful and went above and beyond as a host. This condo is a true gem. I highly recommend.

This is a great location if interested in exploring the Kohala Coast and the northern part of this island. It faces the golf course so the view is very pleasant and peaceful. We had a great time using it as a base to explore the area, hop from beach to beach, hit some great hiking trails and see some fun wildlife. The grounds of the complex is filled with geckos which we enjoyed watching.
The pool is great and relaxing. Even though it is a fairly large complex, we never saw anyone at the pool and always had it to ourselves. The complex was very quiet and the condo was extremely spacious and inviting. Lots of natural light and lots of windows.
The owner and managers on site were very responsive to questions. We were given lots of information prior to our stay regarding things to do in the area and great tips. Getting to the condo was an easy and quick drive from the airport and everything in the listing was exactly as expected and described. Check-in was smooth and convenient. The owner cares and made sure we had a great time. We ended up extending our stay because the property was so convenient to all the activities we wanted to do.
