The previous review provides most everything one needs to know about Kolea Villas. We've spent three vacations in three different ocean-view units (buildings 6, 7, 10), third floor and second floor units. The units and property are luxurious with large outdoor lanais that can't be matched in any other rental we've found (three bedroom units). One flaw we've experienced the... more

Travel party: Family of five (3 kids ages 7, 10, 14, all boys) plus 73 year old mother-in-law with some mobility problems Travel time: Spring Break, March 20-29 Weather: Varriable depending on where you are on the Island; at the condo, it was never hot, and never too cool. While the Waikoloa area was somewhat windy, it was never a... more

We stayed at Kolea 8C for spring break and it was amazing. The pictures do not do the property justice. The view is amazing! Every morning we opened up the large sliding doors and could hear and smell the ocean. I brought my family (6 people) and it was plenty of space for all of us. We rented 8C through... more

Kolea 2D was the most beautiful condo we have ever had the pleasure of staying in!! Not only was it beautiful, it was completely furnished with the most luxurious furnishings one could ever want! It also has a wonderfully equipped kitchen! It even had spices and condiments on hand! Also had beach towels and a cooler that came in very... more

....spent in the two bedroom unit 16F. These places are really very well done, the fittings, appliances and decor are all top notch. In 16F, besides all else, you get a 55 inch TV in the living area and 42 inch TV's in the bedrooms, complete with DVD's. Having said that,, why anybody would want a TV in a bedroom... more

This is an upscale condo complex. We stayed for one week, with 5 year old twins. They look forward to swimming pools: unfortunately, my only beef with Hawaii is that many many places choose not to heat their pools. This pool was freezing. We never saw any adults swim, only children. And they had chattering teeth after only 15-20 minutes,... more

We LOVE Kolea! But recently had a horrible experience via VRBO. We posted a deposit on this unit months before our trip. Upon calling the owner to get entry instructions (yes, we had to call!) 2 days before the trip, we were told that the unit was "double booked." The owner said that his wife had booked it before he... more

Just returned from a one-week stay at Kolea, a resort located in between the Marriot and the HIlton in the Waikoloa beach resort area in Kona. These are privately owned condos and houses, many available for rent via vrbo.com, koleavacations.com, etc. We used koleavacations.com. The properties available on that site are owned by a lady named Eileen. We rented villa... more

We recently stayed at Kolea for part of our honeymoon from Nov 14-19. I wanted to write a thorough review of the experience since there are not a lot of reviews/info on the property. First, we booked through Outrigger - they only manage 3 units at this property. The rest are privately owned or rented through agencies. We found that... more
