The condo is in a fantastic location, with the pictures being 100% accurate. It is within a 10 minute drive to 3 outstanding public beaches (Hapuna, Mauna Kea and Beach 69) and within15 minutes to the grocery store in Waikoloa. The view of the ocean from the living room and master bedroom is postcard worthy, and the views of the mountains and sunrises out the front door is fantastic as well. The condo is well maintained, with ample towels and kitchen utensils as well as a couple of beach umbrellas and a boogie board. I would absolutely rent this condo again in the future, as it was perfect for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers.
A few notes I have for prospective renters: first, this is the best rental you are going to find on this part of the island outside of a resort. It is within a walk to the ocean and a short drive to world class beaches. Second, the Puako General store next door has snorkel gear to rent for cheap ($25 for the week), but not much else, so if you need food, go to the KTA in Waikoloa (I do not recommend to the Foodland that is a little closer; it is super tiny and was packed with resort dwellers). Third, bring binoculars so you can watch the whales from the lenai! It was a highlight of our stay!
I have stayed in A LOT of rentals all over the country and this is absolutely one of my top stays! Do not hesitate to book this condo!
