A very nice condo in a quiet corner of the complex. The kitchen was the best stocked of any I’ve experienced. Appliances, pots and pans, utensils, cutlery, and tableware. Lots of beach chairs, toys, snorkels, boogy boards, and coolers. Convenient parking and close to the pool and barbecues, without any of the noise. One night we were visited by a herd of goats who were butting heads on the lava out the back door. Walking distance to the golf course pro shop and the Mia Grill which is a reasonable restaurant with great drinks and food. Hours away from the volcano and not much vog. The hosts were easy to work with and responsive to our questions!

Very clean and very well stocked condo with lots of beach toys ( chairs, snorkeling gear toys etc.) as well as 2 bikes. It is Close to the pool and grills. Both beds in this 2 bedrooms have memory foam pillow tops, hence the beds are extremely comfy. I always have trepidation with beds in renting condos because you never know what you are going to get. These were like sleeping on clouds. We would have no hesitation on renting this condo again. You cannot beat the Waikoloa beach area resort. An absolute must if you are a beach lover is a visit to the lovely Mauna Kea beach (you must get there early or you will be turned away due to limited parking) and is just a few miles drive down the road. The best beach with great snorkeling within a very short drive. Visting the Hilton grounds is a must as well as the dolphins.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and the owners did everything to make us feel welcome. The unit has all the essentials needed to chill at the beach or to relax in the unit. Location is GREAT for the beach, restaurants & shopping. If an issue or question was presented they were always a phone call away and were very prompt. Beds were comfortable as well as all the furnishings. They are very trustworthy and we would recommend them to anyone without a hesitation. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Tracy & Murray for a fabulous vacation

Super nice, big, comfortable and super clean and neat. Fells very safe for our 2 small children, can play in the private garden, the view even though it is not an ocean view , it is to an amazing lava field , green golf court and mountains in the background. Closest beach a 3 minute drive, and centrally located to explore the rest of the Island. A prime spot in Waikaloa.

Tracy and Murray's townhouse was in an excellent location. I am a "clean freak" and this condo was super clean! The townhouse had everything you could possibly need to have a wonderful and relaxing vacation. The townhouse had bikes, tennis racquets, ice chests, beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, beach toys and sun umbrellas. We definitely would like to visit and stay again at Tracy and Murray's townhouse in the future. We appreciated the binder with all the recommendations too. We ended up visiting a lot of the local beaches you recommended. Also, the communication with Tracy was excellent also. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!

We just loved this place. It's located in a great area, the condo was very clean and much bigger then we imagined. The pictures don't do it justice. Tracy's communication with me was clear and friendly. She got back to me right away when I had any questions. I'm so grateful to her for sharing her home so that we could have an unforgettable vacation on the Big Island. I'll be back!

We were very impressed with the cleanliness of Tracy's unit. It was nothing short of outstanding. We have stayed at this complex for over 8 years but this was the first at this unit. We rented five units for our children and grandchildren this year for a family reunion. Our hosts the Hodgins have left nothing out for your enjoyment whether it is for the beach, tennis or relaxation. The unit is well equipped and maintained. The lanai which faces the lava field and golf course are very quiet and relaxing but are close to the pool, tennis court and barbecue. We cannot stress enough how impressed we were with Tracy's exceptional client service which was very genuine and professional. We have booked this unit for next year and look forward to dealing with our hosts Tracy and Murray.

We have just returned home after spending three fabulous weeks at Tracy and Murray's condo home at Waikoloa Colony Villas. The villa is absolutely wonderful and visitors lack nothing in the way of high standard home comforts. Tracy and Murray take great interest in how to look after their guests and right from day one we felt assured that we had made the right choice for our holiday in Paradise. Any queries that we had were answered immediately, before and during our stay. We see little point in repeating the positive comments already posted by other reviewers. Suffice to say that we are in total agreement with all of them and fully endorse their high praise for this excellent property, and of course its owners. If we are able to return to the Big Island again, this is definitely the place that we shall choose.

If you are looking to stay somewhere on the western part of the Big Island, this is the place! From the very beginning of the reservation process all the way up to the end of my stay, Tracy and Murray made sure that everything was handled in a professional, efficient and courteous manner. The condo is conveniently located, very clean, spacious and affordable. Tracy and Murray seem to have thought of every single detail that someone on vacation might need, and the care for their customers really shows in the way they manage their condo. I've already raved about my experience to several friends and will continue to do so. My experience with the condo is one of the main reasons my trip to the Big Island was an excellent and memorable one. I highly recommend staying here!

We are a couple who have many weeks of timeshare but decided to try another vacation property. We were so satisfied and happy with this accommodation as it was decorated beautifully, very clean, lovely lanai and laundry facilities. Our beds we very comfortable, many beach towels, snorkelling gear, bikes and pool & beach accessories. Our time was so pleasent because of how well organized this rental was.....information regarding unit and amenities given well before we left. We felt very confident in the directions from airport and entering the facility. Anyone wanting a Five Star accommodation should book this condo.

We've stayed in this villa several times, previously under the management of the previous owners, this time under the Hodgins' ownership. We were delighted to find the Browns' high standards have been maintained. We like the fact that this is a quiet, residential community. It's a beautifully landscaped, well-maintained community, only a mile to convenient restaurants, shops, a grocery store, a terrific beach and all the usual resort activities. it's a quick drive and a lovely walk to the shopping/restaurant area. The Colony Villas complex offers two really nice pools, a hot tub and a fitness center (weight machine, elliptical machine, two treadmills and two exercise bikes.) The comfort abounds in this villa: excellent mattresses and pillows, lovely bedding and towels, a well-equipped kitchen (rice cooker! coffee grinder!) plenty of beach and snorkeling gear (beach umbrellas! swim fins!) and all sorts of thoughtful touches (three different sized coolers! laundry detergent! lots of hangers in the closets! candles for the outdoor table!). There are sand pails and pool noodles for the kids, bikes, tennis rackets, golf balls, and boogie boards. We think this villa is exceptional because the unusual degree of privacy: the two lanais don't face anybody else's windows. The cross-ventilation is lovely. There's an invisible screen on the front door so the trade winds can blow through the house. We find after we've gotten acclimated that we rarely use the AC. The other reviewers have already highlighted best and favorite destinations on the Kohala - Kona coasts and beyond. Tracy will send you a list of her favorites when you book your stay. I'll just add a few of ours: Hang out with the sea turtles at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park. Get the freshest fish ever and terrific tako poke at Hale I'a (Da Fish House) in Kawaihae. Hike along the seashore and experience a recreated ancient Hawaiian village at Lapakahi State Park. Check out the Hawaiian Vanilla Company in Paauilo, buy one of their vanilla beans and try making your own vanilla at home. You'll never go back to those little bottles from the grocery store again. Whatever you do on your Big Island vacation, you'll thoroughly making Hodgins' incredibly lovely villa your base camp. Aloha.

We stayed in this condo in Colony Villas from February 22- March 15 of 2016. We absolutely loved this rental. It was spacious, quiet, very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was very well stocked and made cooking at home easy. We used the gas grills down by the pool many times. The grounds at Colony Villas are well taken care of and all of the flowers are just beautiful. The pool area is also very nice. We only used the one closest to this unit. Both of the lanais were used almost daily and we ate most of our meals outside on the lower level lanai. The walk along the shoreline and over to the Hilton is not to be missed. You may be lucky enough to even see some whales. We spent a lot of time at the beaches, both A'Bay and Hapuna and we also enjoyed Kua Bay which is closer to Kona and where we saw the most whale activity. This condo has every beach thing you could possibly need, many chairs, snorkeling equipment, beach toys and boogie boards. They also have a really good supply of beach towels. We enjoyed a day trip up to Hawi with lunch at Bamboo and shopping at Elements. The Farmers Market at Waimea on Saturday morning is excellent. We also enjoyed a trip to Akaka Falls and the volcano...allow a full day for this. Our favorite place to dine was Lava Lava Beach Club which has very good food and an unbeatable sunset view, Other restaurant favorites were Café Pesto and The Blue Dragon. Tracy was a delight to work with and the book she provided in the condo was filled with very helpful information. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to all our friends. I would actually give this rental more than 5 stars if it had an ocean view!!

Just returned from a wonderful week long stay at Tracy and Murray's condo. A lovely two bedroom, 2.5 bath condo with spacious living room, big kitchen and two lanais. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with the basic spices, plenty of ziplock bags, aluminum foil, etc. Every type of kitchen gadget you would need. They also provide beach towels, bikes, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler. Plenty of linens and towels for the bedrooms/bath. Condo is in a very central location to Queen's Marketplace and King's Shops. Many good restaurants near by. There is a pool in the complex that is well maintained and the property is well kept. Can't wait to return again. Mahalo!
