Another wonderful stay at Hale Mermaid in Kolea in the Waikoloa Resort. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this condo. One of our favorites in Waikoloa and so far our favorite complex we've stayed at in Waikoloa. It has easy access to the beach and you can walk to dinner at many local restaurants. We also love Waikoloa because it is easy to go out your door and go for a walk with all the sidewalks, and its close to shopping and groceries. The condo itself was immaculate and has all the amenities we needed, and you could cook a feast at this condo and enjoy it on the lanai. The pool area is quite nice and you are provided with a towel while there. Our hosts were great with communicating with us and we did not have any problems. We would definitely stay again!

We just returned from a week at this property and it was a perfect fit for our family for the week. The location is wonderful - walking distance to the beach and lava lava and the shops and a short commute to the various activities we had booked. The pool and hot tub were beautiful with wonderful views. And the sunsets were simply incredible (I commented multiple times that it felt like we were living in a post card!)We are already thinking about another stay in Kolea!

We spent two relaxing weeks at the property with another couple. The space provided all we needed and more. Bedrooms separated for privacy, and each has a master bath. The property is located within a short walk of A-Bay (beach access, no having to get in your car), Lava Lava Beach Club (great food, beverages, sunsets and nightly live music), an easy drive to many golf courses and sights on the Big Island, and two shopping complexes a short stroll away. It was our second stay at the complex. The grounds are beautiful, and the pool area nicely appointed, including a fun sandy "beach" area for the kiddos. The list of positives for this unit is long. Besides those mentioned above other standouts include: wine fridge, kitchen is well stocked with spices, pots and pans, etc. all you need to dine in or prepare a meal on the lanai at the outdoor kitchen (think grilling fresh caught fish) while enjoying a favorite island beverage and watching the sunset colors fade. The list continues with: comfy beds and linens, plenty of paper products, soaps, and incidentals, guest book of suggestions of local places to tour, dine and shop, easy check-in/check-out, GREAT communication and response time from hosts, comfy furniture and decor for indoor/outdoor living, closet full of beach chairs, toys, etc., coolers of various sizes to accommodate any need and plenty of beach towels. We hope to return and enjoy the unit and the lovely accommodations again.

This condo was beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed spending our downtime on the balcony. Nearby grocery shopping was limited but serviceable.
This is the third year in a row that we stayed at the Kolea at Waikōloa Beach Resort, but first time at this property. This was for sure our favorite as the property was very spacious, well kept and just an overall beautiful place. The ocean view was very nice and of course all the local amenities from the awesome pool area, the beach, Queens Market and the other close restaurants are all great plus's.We definitely will be back!!!

But, the condo is so lovely and well equipped, and the owners were in communication the whole way through the process. Our only thing is we wish we had more time to enjoy it---we are island hopping and only had about 4 days. We will be back! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Finally - a clean condo!
after multiple stays in the Waikoloa resort area, what a treat to find a condo that lived up to it's billing. Everything was immaculate. Kitchen fully stocked, appliances, utensils, etc. all in great shape. Location was great and we were able to take our grandson on easy day trips to different beaches. He especially enjoyed the boogie boards and other beach equipment. The Ocean Sports snorkel trip and Blue Hawaiian helicopter tours were both well worth it and highlights for us. We would return in a minute!

Perfect stay
The condo was a perfect play to stay for 2 families with kids. We walked to the beach in the morning and hung out at the pool everyday. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and more. The owners were so kind, responsive, and anticipated our every need - coolers, beach towels, chairs & boogie boards - even a wagon to carry everything. We were especially grateful for their generosity and extended our check-out by a few hours because we had a super late flight. I highly recommend this condo.

Pros & Cons
Pros: Phenomenal location. Excellent, super-kind & responsive hosts. Well-appointed home, kitchen & beach gear. Cons: Feels tired and in need of new mattresses (hard, squeaky, uncomfortable), better cleaners, and better property manager.-Barbecue was so dirty with fat drippings that it caught fire (2 foot flames out the back within 1 minute) so we couldn't grill like we planned and shopped for.-Ice machine in refrigerator was broken so we had to walk down to beach club with cooler.-Shower floors & walls, handheld shower heads, & bathtub had black fungus because there are not enough fans to remove moisture (just in water closet areas).

Exceptional Stay at Kolea Kai – A Waikoloa Gem!
We’ve stayed in Waikoloa many times, but our first experience at Kolea Kai was truly exceptional. The condo exceeded all our expectations, providing everything we needed for a perfect stay. We were fortunate to meet Steve and Maryanne, the gracious owners, who stopped by to pick up some items from their closet. They were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home.The condo was thoughtfully appointed with ample storage space and all necessary supplies, so we didn't have to purchase anything during our stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking essentials and basic food items like condiments, olive oil, and spices. The beds were comfortable, and the condo remained cool throughout our stay.We particularly loved the pool area, which was the nicest we've ever experienced in a condo complex. The attendant provided towels, adding a touch of luxury to our poolside relaxation. The condo's location was perfect, with a short walk to the beach and a partial ocean view from our top-floor unit.Overall, our stay was fabulous, and we would definitely book again!
