8/10
As lots of the prior reviews make clear, this unit is large, well-laid out, in a quiet and convenient location, with good views from within and from the oversized, wraparound lanai. Relaxing, playing card games, and dining on the lanai were delightful. The grounds of the Shores condominium community are beautifully maintained, as is the case with Waikoloa generally.Having said that, we felt that the unit needed some relatively inexpensive TLC to enable us to rate it higher than "good" (which it is).We encountered several petty irritant glitches which, frankly, we wouldn't normally associate with a unit at this price point at Waikoloa (we've been there many times). To wit, posted instructions on on to use (or, really, not use) an apparently "fragile" kitchen disposal (ought to have been replaced); facing for a kitchen drawer came off in my wife's hands the first time she opened it; shower stall light didn't work; mediocre (at best) beach chairs (at a beach resort . . . .) that were very low to the ground, difficult to get in and out of, and not adjustable in any way (and limited other beach accessories to use), an A/C system that seems to be controlled when doors/windows are open - a good thing - but no explanation of that to avoid having to call the management company and say "A/C not working!"; refrigerator filtered water dispenser not working; sliding blind "vane" fell down on its own initiative; etc.
