This place was awesome for our small family of 3! 2 pools that were hardly ever busy made the stay that much better for our 9 year old son when we didn’t feel like heading to the beach. It was awesome having a full kitchen, we only ate out twice and took advantage of staying in most evenings to relax. Close distance to shopping and the beach, would definitely consider staying here again on our next visit. The owner was very easy to get a hold of and answered any questions/messages quickly.

The Hodgins condo is simply fantastic. It was a peaceful, comfortable stay in Waikaloa Beach. Very close to the pool, and on the golf course. Although not walking distance to the beach, it's just a short drive away. Also easy drive to Queens Shopping Center. The garage has all the basics for a day at the beach, including chairs, umbrella, cooler, and snorkel gear. Very spacious for a family. Washer/dryer and air conditioning are major a plus. Easy walk to the pool and grill there as well. No hesitation staying here again.

This trip was my first trip to the Big Island, and I couldn't have picked a better condo and location than Tracy and Murray's place. From pre-booking until after our stay, Tracy was responsive, thorough, and helpful with all instructions and tips. Check in was a breeze, and her directions were perfect. The condo is quite large and lovely, and Tracy and Murray have made sure that it has every amenity - from snorkeling and boogie board equipment, to a washer/dryer (so helpful with a kid or kids), to shampoo, to kitchen utensils and small appliances. The location was quiet - seemed to be in a quieter part of the resort area of Waikoloa, yet close enough to shopping (Island Marketplace in Queen's shopping center). Tip - there is a Foodland just up the road in Mauna Lani that has a great selection as well. One extra nice thing about this condo is that Waikoloa has AMPLE parking for A-beach, which is located within the resort area. We noticed lots of beaches do not (Hapuna State Park is an exception). So, it was quite easy to drive over there from the condo in 5 minutes and not worry about having to arrive at 7 a.m. just to get a parking spot as we did with other beaches. The airport is close by as well, and you don't have to drive through Kailua-Kona to get there, which was nice since traffic can be difficult. Simply put, we loved our time at this condo, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again or recommend it to anyone interested in reasonably-priced accommodations on the Big Island. Thank you, Tracy and Murray!

We have stayed several times at Tracy and Murray's condos in Waikoloa. This unit is my favorite as it is steps away from the pool. The wading part of the pool is perfect for our baby granddaughter, who lives on island but visits daily when we are there. It feels like our home away from home. Everything is so convenient and beautiful. It's delightful to find a condo stocked with items like tinfoil and plastic bags and all the little everyday things. I was thrilled to find the portable playpen/crib in the closet for that granddaughter. And yes, the condo is close to a ton of things to do, but simply doing nothing works pretty well too, particularly on the master bedroom balcony overlooking the golf course. Thank you for sharing Tracy and Murray. We'll be back.

This property was perfect for my wife and I. It feels more like a home than a condo, and had better amenities for us than any hotel could offer. It was clean and quiet, had lots of fun items in the garage to use for a day at the beach and is only a three minute drive to A-Bay, or 15 minute walk to the Fisherman's Trail along the ocean . We have stayed on different Hawaiian islands over the past 35 years and our trip to the Hodgins unit 203 in Waikoloa Colony Villas in late September 2018 was our best trip ever. Tracy was fantastic to work with and everything was just as described. This is a quiet and well maintained complex with fantastic tropical landscaping that really helps set the "Hawaii mood". All the guests, residents and maintenance staff were genuinely friendly.One of the big reasons we like the Big Island so much is the true aloha spirit. Some of the islands best beaches are all within 10-15 minutes drive, the airport is only 20-25 minutes drive, it's 25-30 minutes to Kailua-Kona or Waimea, Whether you are looking for adventure or relaxation, Waikoloa Colony Villas truly is a great location. We cannot wait to go back to the Colony Villas for our next vacation.

We had a great visit at Tracy and Murray Hodgins' Waikoloa House. It was small enough that it felt intimate but large enough that everyone had their own space. We loved the convenience of everything nearby— the Hilton to see the dolphins, the Queen and Kings Market for grocery shopping, Lava Lava Beach Club for sunset dinners (to name a few). The place was located right next to the pool and grill as well. Would highly recommend staying!

First off, I'd like to give props to the owner Tracy, who is excellent in communicating any questions or concerns leading up to the trip with timely responses. We got in late but all worked fine with the security and lock box and the condo was spacious with plenty of room to spread out. The view was great especially the upstairs deck as it overlooks a lava field and the golf course. We did not use the pool but it is right in front of the unit. The condo was centrally located as we went to the 5 local beaches instead...A-Bay, Hapuna , Beach 69, Mauna Lani and Mauna Kea were a couple miles away from the condo and were awesome. We can't wait to return and recommend this condo highly.

I’d highly recommend this condo from Tracey! The unit is beautiful and comfortable. The location is perfect. It’s close to ABay, King’s Shop, and Queen’s Markerplace. Our kids loved having two twin beds in the 2nd bedroom, so they did have to share a full sized bed. The laundry area had all the necessities such detergent and dryer sheets. The garage had all the basic beach items. The cooler was super useful. And finally, the kitchen was well stocked. I especially appreciated the spice rack, so I didn’t have to completely stock the kitchen for my 8-day stay. The unit is also very close to the pool and BBQ units. I didn’t have to walk a long distance to use the bbq while my kids played in the pool. I would come back again and would recommend it to my friends and family.

Condo is roomy and clean with nice furniture and a lovely patio. The pool is right outside the front door. Wifi worked well. Kitchen is quite well stocked. We were so happy with the beach gear (super important!) There were 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs (my favorite) and 2 coolers. There was snorkel gear that looked decent but we didn't use it because we brought our own. No kids gear but a few sand toys. The pullout couch was decent for a hide-a-bed. We thought this place was great!

My friend and I have stayed in several condos throughout Waikoloa Resort, and Tracy and Murray’s unit #203 at Waikoloa Colony Villas is, by far, my favorite! It is located along the peaceful golf course fairway and just steps from the pool and grill. So convenient to grab a glass of wine and grill dinner!
The condo is very clean, well kept and stocked with everything I we needed during our stay. We spend most of our days at the beach and greatly appreciated the nice Tommy Bahamas beach chairs and umbrella and the great coolers!
Tracy was wonderful to work with and quick to reply to my inquiry on availability and questions prior to arrival. We had a fantastic stay, and I look forward to returning to Tracy and Murray’s unit next year!

Our family of 4 (with 2 teenagers) had a really great time for 5 nights in this LARGE house (Wow!) on a great resort. We enjoyed the pool, the BBQ, the snorkeling and beach gear. Communication with owners was easy and fast. Access to the house and gated community was easy and clearly explained. The patios are perfect for breakfast and diners. Look closely at sunset time and you will see the Mauna Kea observatories from the patio. We really recommend those activities to future renters : Beach 69, beach 49 (yes you can go even if it's a gated access), Pololu Valley hiking and Lava lava beach club for the sunset (reserve in advance). We highly recommend this house!

Our stay at this townhome was fantastic. It is spacious, tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped. It did not feel like a generic vacation rental, but rather like a home you would put together for yourself. Beach gear and towels? Check. Laundry detergent? Check. Kitchen supplies? Check. All appliances were in good working order as was the AC. Beds were very comfortable. I really wouldn't change anything. Many thanks for opening the doors of your Waikoloa home to us, we certainly hope to be back one day.

The villa had all of the amenities necessary for a satisfying vacation. There is a pool less than 50 yards away. The golf course club house is just outside the main gate to the property. Shops and restaurants are a short drive or 20 minute walk from the front door. The back porch has a nice view of the golf course. The pre-arrival directions were excellent. The villa had plenty of towels, linens, televisions and kitchen appliances to satisfy all your needs. The beds and other furniture are very comfy! The washer and dryer made life easy. Tracy has great villa and made sure everything was ready to go upon arrival.

We were so impressed with this property! Not only did it have a spacious floor plan and a serene location facing onto a quiet golf fairway, but it was tastefully furnished and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortable, linens were top quality, kitchen was completely equipped, and garage housed a wide range of supplies for a day at the beach or hiking. The wireless internet was reliable, as was the TV reception. The common areas with pools and gas grills were wonderful. It was within walking distance of our meetings at the Waikoloa Beach Resort, too. We would definitely return here!

We stayed here in Jan 2017 just after the holidays and the place was very clean and everything as pictured when we arrived. Great location within the Waikoloa area as it's very walkable to the Hilton and the rest of the resorts. It's also a short drive to probably the best public beach (Mauna Kea Beach). Kitchen was well stocked. Great beach gear in the garage. Fantastic view out back to the golf fairways. Tracy provided great instructions to get into the unit. Will definitely recommend to family and friends!

This is a beautiful, clean, and comfortable condo with lots of room for our family of five to stretch out. One of the two pools (with grills) was steps away from the door. We had beautiful golf course views from the lanais. We appreciated all of the extras available to us like the beach chairs, boogie boards, and beach umbrella! It was also fabulous to have soap, shampoo and conditioner, laundry detergent, foil, zipper bags, spices already in the condo when we arrived. We highly recommend staying here...Tracy and Murray were great owners to work with (very good communication)!

We had an amazing time here. The condo was absolutely perfect - it had everything we needed (beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, washer/dryer, hairdryer, fully stocked kitchen, parking, wifi, etc). We couldn't have asked for more. The condo was neat and tidy when we arrived. The location is perfect in the Waikoloa resort area - and the views from the lanais over the golf course were stunning. The owner was very nice to deal with, always quick with communication. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Tracy's condo was the past place we stayed at during a 3.5 week holiday on the Hawaiian Islands. We stayed in different properties, which we all booked through VRBO. All very nice places, but Tracy's condo won the big prize :-) It is a fantastic place to stay. The location, Waikoloa is perfect. Not to far from Kona, but far enough to escape the 'busy' town. Waikoloa is a beautiful place, great golf courses, nice beach, shops, restaurants, and just a very nice place to be. About the condo. It is one of the Colony Villa's, right on hole 10 of the Bay Course. Literally next door is a very nice swimming pool and some BBQ's for your grilling pleasure. When we entered the condo we were thoroughly impressed! Very clean and so much space! It is a two-story condo, with the kitchen, living room, toilet , dining room and lanai downstairs. And two bedrooms (excellent beds!), two bathrooms and a lanai upstairs. And everything you need is available: washer/dryer, plenty of towels, including beach towels. Kitchen has everything you need, plus more. All the beach gear you need is in the garage. Even though the condo has airco, we didn't need it too often. It was in the high 80's but this place is good at maintaining a nice temperature inside. We had a fantastic week here. I could happily stay here for a loooong time, as it was so comfortable. Tracy is very responsive and helpful, which made our stay even better. Would I come back? Duh.... I won't even consider looking for another place to stay. @Tracy: thanks for letting us stay and have a memorable holiday!

Beautiful 2-story condo with lots of room, furnished in a Tommy Bahama classy style, with high ceilings, patios to eat breakfast on and great kitchen with pots and pans, plates and utensils. Relaxing view of palm trees and the golf course, items to use during your stay including 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrella, mask, fins and snorkels, boogie boards, beach mats, sand toys if you have young kids and tennis racquets. Would highly recommend and will be staying there again. Owners were very helpful and friendly. Loved it!

Aloha! We spent 8 days at The Colony, 203 durring the beginning of June. It was a perfect location for our family of four (2 boys ages 12&3). There was plenty of space, it was very clean, the furnishings were in great shape, and it was right next the pool with a toddler area. I loved the vast amount of towels! We did a load of laundry every night but we still went through the towels in between beach outings and pool time. Plus the condo is well stock with beach items, we made good use of the boogie boards and such. This is our 3rd Hawaiian Vacation, our second condo rental, first time on the Big Island. I loved the location you were able to quickly access the main highways to explore the island, yet you are among most of the large resorts and your right on the golf course. I liked being able to take my toddler for a walk, and we even explored some of the grounds at other resorts. Plus it made it easy to get to restaurants and shopping. The owners were terrific to work with and very helpful. My only recommendation to all vacation property owners is remove as much carpeting as possibly and to use allergy covers on bedding. This rental was top notch! I had less allergies issues than the vast majority of hotels, condos that we have stayed at. Our time on the island was exactly what we were looking for, I contribute a huge part of that to having great place to call home! Mahalo for a wonderful vacation. I have already recommend this rental to a friend.

Condo is roomy and clean with nice furniture and a lovely patio. The pool is right outside the front door. Wifi worked well. Kitchen is quite well stocked. We were so happy with the beach gear (super important!) There were 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs (my favorite) and 2 coolers. There was snorkel gear that looked decent but we didn't use it because we brought our own. No kids gear but a few sand toys. The pullout couch was decent for a hide-a-bed. We thought this place was great!

We love staying in the Waikola area. This is our 2nd stay in this condo. We love the view. The upper Lani has lounge chairs that we enjoyed every night. Its equipped with lots of beach stuff. Tracy, the owner is very easy to work with. It was 15 days of heaven and we'll be back in the spring.

We enjoyed our stay very much in this villa. Very clean, lots of room. The location was great. We had everything we needed in the villa. Air conditioner worked good and we had lots of hot water. Took advantage of the beach toys & cooler that were in the garage. We were really close to pool. Master bedroom deck has a beautiful view of the mountain! We would recommend this unit!

My friend and I have stayed in several condos throughout Waikoloa Resort, and Tracy and Murray’s unit #203 at Waikoloa Colony Villas is, by far, my favorite! It is located along the peaceful golf course fairway and just steps from the pool and grill. So convenient to grab a glass of wine and grill dinner!
The condo is very clean, well kept and stocked with everything I we needed during our stay. We spend most of our days at the beach and greatly appreciated the nice Tommy Bahamas beach chairs and umbrella and the great coolers!
Tracy was wonderful to work with and quick to reply to my inquiry on availability and questions prior to arrival. We had a fantastic stay, and I look forward to returning to Tracy and Murray’s unit next year!

Our family of 4 (with 2 teenagers) had a really great time for 5 nights in this LARGE house (Wow!) on a great resort. We enjoyed the pool, the BBQ, the snorkeling and beach gear. Communication with owners was easy and fast. Access to the house and gated community was easy and clearly explained. The patios are perfect for breakfast and diners. Look closely at sunset time and you will see the Mauna Kea observatories from the patio. We really recommend those activities to future renters : Beach 69, beach 49 (yes you can go even if it's a gated access), Pololu Valley hiking and Lava lava beach club for the sunset (reserve in advance). We highly recommend this house!

Our stay at this townhome was fantastic. It is spacious, tastefully decorated and thoughtfully equipped. It did not feel like a generic vacation rental, but rather like a home you would put together for yourself. Beach gear and towels? Check. Laundry detergent? Check. Kitchen supplies? Check. All appliances were in good working order as was the AC. Beds were very comfortable. I really wouldn't change anything. Many thanks for opening the doors of your Waikoloa home to us, we certainly hope to be back one day.

The villa had all of the amenities necessary for a satisfying vacation. There is a pool less than 50 yards away. The golf course club house is just outside the main gate to the property. Shops and restaurants are a short drive or 20 minute walk from the front door. The back porch has a nice view of the golf course. The pre-arrival directions were excellent. The villa had plenty of towels, linens, televisions and kitchen appliances to satisfy all your needs. The beds and other furniture are very comfy! The washer and dryer made life easy. Tracy has great villa and made sure everything was ready to go upon arrival.

It was great to come back to the condo after a day of sightseeing or sunning at the beach. Everything was clean and well arranged for comfort and enjoyment. Tracy was very responsive to all our questions leading up to our stay, and we had no problems or reason to contact her during or after. A delightful experience all around! We'd love to return someday!

We were so impressed with this property! Not only did it have a spacious floor plan and a serene location facing onto a quiet golf fairway, but it was tastefully furnished and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The beds were comfortable, linens were top quality, kitchen was completely equipped, and garage housed a wide range of supplies for a day at the beach or hiking. The wireless internet was reliable, as was the TV reception. The common areas with pools and gas grills were wonderful. It was within walking distance of our meetings at the Waikoloa Beach Resort, too. We would definitely return here!

We stayed here in Jan 2017 just after the holidays and the place was very clean and everything as pictured when we arrived. Great location within the Waikoloa area as it's very walkable to the Hilton and the rest of the resorts. It's also a short drive to probably the best public beach (Mauna Kea Beach). Kitchen was well stocked. Great beach gear in the garage. Fantastic view out back to the golf fairways. Tracy provided great instructions to get into the unit. Will definitely recommend to family and friends!

This is a beautiful, clean, and comfortable condo with lots of room for our family of five to stretch out. One of the two pools (with grills) was steps away from the door. We had beautiful golf course views from the lanais. We appreciated all of the extras available to us like the beach chairs, boogie boards, and beach umbrella! It was also fabulous to have soap, shampoo and conditioner, laundry detergent, foil, zipper bags, spices already in the condo when we arrived. We highly recommend staying here...Tracy and Murray were great owners to work with (very good communication)!

We had an amazing time here. The condo was absolutely perfect - it had everything we needed (beach chairs, beach towels, cooler, washer/dryer, hairdryer, fully stocked kitchen, parking, wifi, etc). We couldn't have asked for more. The condo was neat and tidy when we arrived. The location is perfect in the Waikoloa resort area - and the views from the lanais over the golf course were stunning. The owner was very nice to deal with, always quick with communication. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Tracy's condo was the past place we stayed at during a 3.5 week holiday on the Hawaiian Islands. We stayed in different properties, which we all booked through VRBO. All very nice places, but Tracy's condo won the big prize :-) It is a fantastic place to stay. The location, Waikoloa is perfect. Not to far from Kona, but far enough to escape the 'busy' town. Waikoloa is a beautiful place, great golf courses, nice beach, shops, restaurants, and just a very nice place to be. About the condo. It is one of the Colony Villa's, right on hole 10 of the Bay Course. Literally next door is a very nice swimming pool and some BBQ's for your grilling pleasure. When we entered the condo we were thoroughly impressed! Very clean and so much space! It is a two-story condo, with the kitchen, living room, toilet , dining room and lanai downstairs. And two bedrooms (excellent beds!), two bathrooms and a lanai upstairs. And everything you need is available: washer/dryer, plenty of towels, including beach towels. Kitchen has everything you need, plus more. All the beach gear you need is in the garage. Even though the condo has airco, we didn't need it too often. It was in the high 80's but this place is good at maintaining a nice temperature inside. We had a fantastic week here. I could happily stay here for a loooong time, as it was so comfortable. Tracy is very responsive and helpful, which made our stay even better. Would I come back? Duh.... I won't even consider looking for another place to stay. @Tracy: thanks for letting us stay and have a memorable holiday!

Great location near but not too close to the pool and grills. Walking Waikoloa is a must for us! The unit was clean and large and we loved the open concept in the LR and kitchen areas. The washer and drier were so handy and the water toys, beach chairs and ice chests makes one's stay so much better. We'll be back!

Upon contact, the owner was very helpful and accommodating. We felt welcome before we even arrived at the property. It was well kept, well stocked and clean. The layout worked well for our family. The location worked well for our needs (steps away from the pool and bbqs). The complex was very well maintained and neat. Overall, very happy with all aspects of our VRBO experience on this vacation.

Beautiful 2-story condo with lots of room, furnished in a Tommy Bahama classy style, with high ceilings, patios to eat breakfast on and great kitchen with pots and pans, plates and utensils. Relaxing view of palm trees and the golf course, items to use during your stay including 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrella, mask, fins and snorkels, boogie boards, beach mats, sand toys if you have young kids and tennis racquets. Would highly recommend and will be staying there again. Owners were very helpful and friendly. Loved it!

Aloha! We spent 8 days at The Colony, 203 durring the beginning of June. It was a perfect location for our family of four (2 boys ages 12&3). There was plenty of space, it was very clean, the furnishings were in great shape, and it was right next the pool with a toddler area. I loved the vast amount of towels! We did a load of laundry every night but we still went through the towels in between beach outings and pool time. Plus the condo is well stock with beach items, we made good use of the boogie boards and such. This is our 3rd Hawaiian Vacation, our second condo rental, first time on the Big Island. I loved the location you were able to quickly access the main highways to explore the island, yet you are among most of the large resorts and your right on the golf course. I liked being able to take my toddler for a walk, and we even explored some of the grounds at other resorts. Plus it made it easy to get to restaurants and shopping. The owners were terrific to work with and very helpful. My only recommendation to all vacation property owners is remove as much carpeting as possibly and to use allergy covers on bedding. This rental was top notch! I had less allergies issues than the vast majority of hotels, condos that we have stayed at. Our time on the island was exactly what we were looking for, I contribute a huge part of that to having great place to call home! Mahalo for a wonderful vacation. I have already recommend this rental to a friend.
