Welcome to Makai Sunsets, a luxury retreat in Vista Waikoloa—one of the Big Island's most walkable and desirable resort communities. Just a short 5–8 minute stroll to A-Bay's beautiful white sand beach, this spacious, thoughtfully renovated condo combines the privacy and comfort of upscale condo living with the convenience of nearby resorts, restaurants, shopping, beaches, and golf.

Featuring one of the largest floor plans in the community, Makai Sunsets offers more than 1,700+ square feet of indoor-outdoor living, including a rare oversized wraparound lanai.

    Beautifully decorated, awesome location, kitchen was a gourmet cooks dream, although we ate out most of the time. We have stayed in the complex 4 times and this is the best unit we have stayed in. It is located about a five minute walk to the beach and shopping areas and restaurants are an easy walk.We will certainly be back again!

    The condo is located close to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and beautiful beaches. It’s on the second floor and there is an elevator. It is beautifully decorated and has everything you’d need to enjoy your stay. Plenty of beach toys, towels, and an ice chest on wheels. You have a peek of the ocean from the lani and living room. The kitchen is well equipped. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again!

    We have traveled to the big Island quite a bit over the last 20 years. We have been staying at the Vistas for the past 15 years and love this location and the complex. This unit is one of our favorites that we have stayed in. It’s well equipped with beach gear, kitchen stuff and even cocktail shakers and glasses. We can’t wait to return and hope to stay in this unit again!

    Kona is Puiwa! The beautiful condo was a perfect location to launch our adventures. It had all the amenities we needed! 2 bedrooms with king beds and attached bathrooms were perfect for 2 couples. A gorgeous upgraded kitchen. Beach chairs and umbrellas for lazy days on Kona’s amazing beaches! Sunsets on the lanai were incredible. The location allowed us easy access to Volcanoes National Park as well as other parts of the island. Totally recommend this condo…5 Stars!

    This lovely vacation home was exactly what we hoped for. Amazing kitchen that was fully stocked with spices and stables like sauces, sugar, flour... Excellent appliances, juicer, blender etc. We used the grill at the common area which was clean and easy. The bathrooms were lovely, lots of towels and amenities. Lots of books, beach chairs etc. Great location! Easy walk to shops, beach, Marriott, Hilton. Looking forward to a return trip.

    Other than struggling with the TV situation, since we aren’t very tech-savvy, everything was absolutely fantastic! We love our time in this unit!

    As a Grandma and Grandpa, we took our 17 year old granddaughter and her friend to the big island for a beach vacation. The condo proved to be in an excellent location for them to explore many popular and other more remote beaches along the coast! A new beach every day. The condo itself is beautiful. Amazing attention to detail in every aspect.
