Beautiful week in Paradise in May

Vista Waikoloa is the perfect location to explore the Big Island. The condo is spacious and beautifully appointed with a huge lanai to take in the tropical breezes while you sip your morning coffee, and to enjoy a gorgeous sunset with a glass of wine in the evening. The master bathroom is stunning with a huge marble shower and separate clamshell-like tub outfitted with mood lighting, as well as a double sink with plenty of room to spread out while you prep for the day. The master kingsize bed is adjustable and so comfortable that you can forget about those restless nights. We were sound asleep as soon as our heads hit the cushy pillows. The huge sofa is a great place to curl up with a book after a day at the beach snorkeling, or a round of golf. My favorite place was on the lounge chairs on the lanai, making sketches from the day's adventures and of the birds that were singing all day. With Vista Waikoloa as our homebase, we saw everything we wanted to see on the Big Island. The community pool and jacuzzi are just a short walk from the condo and was not crowded at all during our stay. Often we were lucky and had the entire facility to ourselves. We could walk to the bay to see the gorgeous sunset over the water or to dinner at the local outdoor marketplaces. We often left early to visit adjacent beaches like Mauna Kea where you can park in the limited beach access spaces (but they can fill up by 7:30am on weekends). The snorkeling in the morning hours was amazing, since the waters are calmer and the undersea aquarium of tropical fishes are all feeding. Judith and Brandon are fantastic hosts. They provided us with a welcome gift and their Waikoloa handout was incredibly informative. We took their suggestions and made reservations for the Moonlight Manta Ray swim at the Mauna Kea, a magical event that I cannot recommend more highly. We also visited the Seahorse Farm in Kona and some farmer's markets to buy the fresh fruits and snacks. They have a wealth of knowledge of the area, and are extremely accessible. We took Judith's advice and lined up early at Sensei for 50% off items on the menu and had a sushi extravaganza. Our week at their condo was perfect. The amenities at the unit are so thoughtful. Beach towels, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, insulated bag for snacks, cold filtered water in the fridge, awesome espresso machine, extra charging cords in kitchen and bedroom and much more. We didn't use the second bedroom, but it was also beautifully appointed with another huge bed, separate bathroom and sliding privacy doors. We would definitely return to this pristine and gorgeous oceanview condo on our next visit to the Big Island! ”

Wonderful Waikoloa condo

Thank you for sharing your lovely Hawaiian home with us. The views are wonderful and we certainly enjoyed the lanai. The condo was well appointed and very comfortable. We used the barbecue area to cook the Hawaiian fish we purchased. After an active day it was nice to swim in the warm pool and have dinner on the lanai to watch the sunset. A perfect evening. The location was great. Convenient for walking to the beach or shopping centers. Everything was in the area so we did not leave the Waikoloa area very often. We had a wonderful vacation.
