"Great stay!"
Really nice stay, beds were comfy, unit was clean and well stocked, and the neighborhood and amenity center was great. Lots of beach toys, chairs, and floaties in the garage. Only complaint is it was further from the beach than I thought, like an hour walk. But it was worth it to have all the space and bedrooms for our larger family. Back lanai is fantastic.

"Amazing all around!"
The unit was amazing, the views were amazing, the check in/out process was amazing! The sunsets were our favorite part - just wow! Very comfortable for our family to stay in, very clean, and very quiet. Truly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back again!

"Wonderful location~Home away from home!"
Wai Ula Ula is a perfect community to consider when deciding on a base for your vacation on the Big Island. Far enough from the crowds and yet perfectly situated for quick access to both the Hapuna and Mauna Kea Sandy beaches and nearby resorts, shops, golf, tennis and other activities, being on this part of the island is so relaxing. Stunning sunsets, unobstructed view of the ocean and serene view of the golf course are amazing from the lanai of unit (A102). The amenity center is a quick walk to enjoy the refreshing infinity pool, hot tub, outdoor grills and exercise room. A community meeting room is available and accommodating. The unit is well maintained, the kitchen has nearly anything needed to prepare meals once you stock your groceries. Plenty of towels, including beach towels and linens. Beach gear is also available for guests to enjoy!The lanai is such a bonus with a good size table, 6 comfy chairs and 2 chaise lounges for outdoor dining and relaxing. It’s time for the host to consider replacing the living room couches and chair—ot having the cushions restuffed. They’re very soft and don’t offer much support when sitting (or getting up!). Probably time to refresh the mattress toppers for the twin beds too as the beds sort of “crunch” when sitting or laying down. The beds are comfy though. Consider pre-ordering groceries for local delivery to your unit before, or during, your visit. Even if you stop at Costco, it’s great to have your fridge and pantry set up when you arrive. Michelle, the property manager with Kohala Coast, is fabulous! Very responsive and helpful! This is our 3rd time staying in A102 and our 4th time staying at Wai Ula Ula. We’re coming back to this community, although we will most likely look for another unit now that the listed rental price has risen so much for A102 compared to other units on the property. The great thing is that all of the 4-plex unit

"Quiet and comfortable "
We enjoyed the quiet and relative ease of this condo. The access to the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and the town of Waimea was wonderful. Would definitely consider another stay in this unit. It has a well appointed kitchen that made meal prep simple.The view is gorgeous to boot!

"Great View, Great Service"
Condo was extremely well equipped (kitchen, bikes, boogie boards, etc) and had an amazing view. Most impressive was the service we received from Michelle at Kohala. Due to COVID we had to change this reservation many times. She was friendly, patient and helpful. Great WaiUlaUla condo and great service.

"Comfortable and clean "
We have stayed at Wai Ula Ula many tunes over the past 10 years and love coming back. The location is perfect for access to beaches, and the Private community center is great. The property manager is very responsive. Our unit was spotless, the view from the lanai is amazing and the kitchen well appointed with just about anything you’d want to cook with. The beds are super comfy! We will be back again!

Thank you Russ. The view from Waiulaula A102 is world class. In fact everything about the Mauna Kea Resort is the best. So glad you enjoyed your self and had a wonderful vacation. The Lanai of A102 is so nice with very high quality furnishing and gas grill. The perfect place to relax and take in the ocean view. Please return soon and stay with us at Kohala Coast vacation rentals!

"Wai’ula’ula condo stay"
Great stay. Very well appointed condo with everything you need for a very pleasant vacation. We stayed in the same condo last year and especially like the first floor location which gives you a much larger lanai area than the 2nd floor. Although you can use the Hapuna and Mauna Kea hotel properties for a rather exorbitant fee there are very nice state beach park areas that are a 5 minute drive away. (Spencer Beach in Kwaihae and Hapuna Beach state park) Because of the great pool and hot tub in the community you certainly don’t need to go to the hotel pools. Most of the time you have the pool and exercise facilities all to yourself. Overall the stay was great. Two minor negatives: The first is that some road noise from the highway can be heard particularly when traffic starts to heat up in the morning; and second, was that they were doing a lot of landscape work the 10 days we were there which including major tree pruning and chipping the cut limbs. This was just the luck of the draw as I assume they do this major work only once or twice a year.

"Can I please just stay there forever?!?!"
Beautiful home in an incredible location with gorgeous views. I would move in in a minute and live there forever if I could afford it. The layout was perfect; 2 master suites with bathrooms and a third bedroom with additional bath. Beautifully furnished but still felt comfortable and inviting. All the comforts of home - extremely well equipped kitchen and the bathrooms had the amenities of an expensive hotel. It really felt like I was staying in the home of a friend who had thought about me and catered to my every possible need and desire.We were gone for most of every day and evening - my only regret is that I didn't have more time to just "be" at the house - it was so very relaxing and peaceful. And the stars at night were unbelievable.Literally minutes from one of the best beaches in the world - and the garage came equipped with beach chairs and umbrella, thermal carrier for ice chest,wave boards - things that make the beach so much more fun and we couldn't bring these things on the plane. Waimea is a 20 minute drive, with many fine dining choices, we loved Red Water Cafe. And 5 minutes away in Kawaihae there are numerous places for a delicious and authentic Hawaiian style lunch.As you can tell I can't say enough about this home.We usually stay at Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel - since we needed 3 rooms this was much more affordable and we really liked it better.Husband wanted me to mention that it was a bit hard to find because the google map location was different than the actual location of the unit.Please note: Kurt M is from Pleasanton, CA. not Irvine?!!

"GREAT VACATION RENTAL"
We had a wonderful vacation! We loved the was quiet and serene and didn't have the hustle and bustle of a high rise condo or hotel. My husband uses an electric scooter and was easily able to get around the condo and the complex. All the pools even had electric chairs to get him in and out more easily. The mgmt company took the time to answer all my accessibility questions and were very accurate about everything and went the extra effort (shower chair, etc.) Views from the condo are spectacular. Use of facilities at Mauna Kea (only hotel we used) were great. Only issues our family had were the beds. The single beds felt like you were sleeping on plastic which made them a little uncomfortable. However, our young adults didn't mind that much as they want to go back next year. The people sleeping in the main master bedroom indicated that the bed was quite soft. Again, not a major issue. We slept in the master with the barrier free shower and found that the bed was hard and comfortable. Supplies were all good and enough of everything. Really, a wonderful vacation and would highly recommend it.

"Fabulous Rental. We'd definitely come again."
Great location if you don't mind not being on the beach (must drive). Beautiful view of the ocean and sunsets. Covered lanai was nice to protect from hot sun. It was perfect for us with three little ones; there is a little grass for kids to run around on. We were here in early September and didn't see other renters. Felt like we had the place to ourselves. Beautiful pool - we usually had that to ourselves, too. There is a 1 1/2' pool for little ones to enjoy. Pantry had staples; laundry detergent, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, bath soap, shampoo, paper towels, toilet paper all well stocked. Garage has boogie boards and lots of kids sand toys. Condo clean and roomy. Would highly recommend the extra charge to use the resort beach facilities - lounge chairs, towels and umbrellas. Mauna Kea beach was our favorite. Overall a fantastic week in paradise.

"Great location breathtaking views"
I chose this condo for it's proximity to Mauna Kea and Hapuna beach and the ability to use the amenities at both resorts. The condo itself was very clean and had the most amazing view. Pictures don't do it justice. We traveled with two families( 4 adults and 3 children) and there was plenty of space. Very high end finishes and well stocked with towels, laundry soap, dish soap, and condiments. Easy parking and property managers responded quickly to inquiries. Could use a larger trash can outdoors. I do recommend bringing your own snorkel gear as the ones provided are in terrible shape. We all really enjoyed our stay and would book this property again without hesitation.

"Awesome view, privacy, great location"
The unit was well supplied with dishes, cleaning supplies, etc. The 2 king size beds were fairly comfortable but not wonderful. The sheets were thin and need to be replaced, although the towels were thick and good. The couch the old and tired and not at all comfortable. We cannot say enough good things about Marrisa and Michelle with the management company. The TV was large but did not have cable. We contacted Marrisa & she contacted the owner and then she came over herself and hooked-up the cable for us. Larry dealt with Michelle with the cancellation insurance and she was excellent. Highly recommend the Kohala Coast Management company. The units in Wai'ula'ula are very expensive (especially for us Canadians)and I would like to see better quality linens and furniture.

"Family Oasis!"
Beautiful condo with lots of space, great kitchen, awesome bathrooms (every bedroom gets their own!) and amazing views. Had some issues with a/c which management addressed asap. Very friendly and responsive staff. We initially thought that staying a drive away from beach would be a pain, but it was surprisingly easy and was so nice to have such a luxurious home to go to at the end of a long day at the beach. Both beaches are spectacular and great swimming for everyone along with snorkeling and rentals of just about anything you want right at the beach. Pool at the condo complex is beautiful too. Other activities are all relatively easy to get to, although trips to see lava are about a 2-hour drive away. Would definitely stay here again and hope we have the chance!

"Beautiful Property, Great Location!"
Our family of 4 stayed for a week in October 2016. The property was beautiful with so much room! Two master suites and a third bedroom, which we never even used. Full kitchen with anything you need made it great for breakfast/ lounging while drinking coffee and taking in the great view of the ocean. There is a pool and fitness area on site that kept the kids busy until we were ready to head out for the day. The guest access to Manua Kea & Hapuna Prince was terrific, allowing for the best of both worlds...a condo to spread out in, but resort beach access and activities. When we return to the Big Island, we will stay here again!

"Lovely Vacation Rental"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The unit is spacious. We were only a couple, but it could easily have taken another couple as the master bedrooms are well-space. The kitchen was well-stocked with appliances and kitchen tools. We didn't have to buy anything -- and we cook a lot.The view is terrific. The unit has total privacy. It was clean. The maid service we added was excellent. Occasionally, things malfunctioned, e.g. the garbage disposal, but they were fixed immediately. The management company couldn't have been more responsive.We had a great time and would recommend!

"The Best Unit in Waiulaula - Incredible"
What you see in the photo is what you get. One of the best locations in Waiulaula, the A-102 unit sits on the ground floor, providing you access to green-belt grass the wraps around and borders the lanai. Overlooking the golf course with the ocean beyond is magnificent. You won't want to leave.

"Great View, First-Class All the Way"
Waiulaula A102 lived up to its billing. The ocean view is spectacular and the view of the golf course is an added bonus. The condo is well-equipped. We had a group of six and had plenty of dishes, cooking items and towels. Washer and dryer worked great -- no problems. WiFi worked for my wife and me, but my daughter and son-in-law couldn't connect ... not sure why. Only one minor glitch ... the key code on the entrance door quit working on the morning of our departure date, but we worked around it. Overall, staying at this condo was an absolutely wonderful experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in a taste of paradise.

Enjoyed our stay here very much. The view is incredible, facilities were great. We paid the fee to use the adjoining hotels and it was totally worth it! It was nice to have the options. Had some issues with the air conditioning in the bedrooms and they could use some updating of pots and pans, etc. Otherwise, would definitely come back here.

"Great condo, resorts and beaches!"
This is a beautiful condo with incredible views. The entire wall opens up to the covered lanai and really opens up the space! We loved our mornings making breakfast and sitting out on the lanai. The condo is very well maintained and stocked. Both resorts are terrific and the beaches are incredible! Plenty of choices for food and activities. Marissa and the entire Kohala Coast Properties staff were extremely attentive and helpful. A great vacation experience overall! Thank you!!

"Kona/Ironman Getaway"
This property was fantastic. All the pictures except one really do the unit/amenities the appropriate justice. Yes, the unit is that big. Yes the main room opens up to the outdoor patio and yes, that is an awesome outdoor grill. We had a fabulous experience here. Everything was provided for us. We had in unit washer and dryer and detergent as well as dish washer with appropriate cleaner. There were plenty of beach towel for us to use at the community pool. The pool picture was the one picture that was not accurate. The pool was actually significantly bigger than the picture displayed. Not that the size is really needed since there were few guests when we did go to the pool. This unit is in a perfect location, short walk to the pool and the view is fabulous. There are no obstructions and provided a great backdrop for pictures. The unit was comfortable for 6. If I had to come up with a complaint, it would be that the knives were not very sharp!!!! But at least I had a full knife set!!! In reality, that is being petty and such a small detail. We were in town for the Ironman World Championships. It is a drive to get to Kona and we knew this prior to renting the unit. We were a bit too ambitious with our comfort in driving 40 miles each way. But that is our fault. The unit made us comfortable when we finally did get back. Highly recommend the unit!!!!!

"Worth the Price"
We stayed in this condo instead of staying at the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. We wanted a place that had a kitchen, and 3 bedrooms/baths because we had a widow friend traveling with 2 couples. This place fulfilled all our needs. Spectacular view, awesome amenities (exercise room & pool), and perfect location (40 min. from airport). It was worth every penny we paid!

"Beautiful property, great stay"
As soon as opened the door to the unit, we knew it was going to be a wonderful vacation. The views of the ocean and golf course were beautiful, with gently swaying palm trees and the scent of plumerias just off the patio. Alesia and Marisa were very helpful throughout the process. The property was very clean and the really nice decor met with the approval of my very picky family. It was truly a home away from home with a well equipped kitchen. There were even boogie boards, beach umbrellas and toys for the kids. The nearby pool was almost like a private pool for us. A great stay overall. Plenty of space for 4 adults and kids with two beautiful master suites. Close to Hapuna and Mauna Kea beaches - both beautiful as well. Highly recommend it. We will definitely be back.
