Paradise Found - The Shores at Waikoloa Beach Resort

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this very nice condominium situated in a resort area with nearby beaches, pool, tennis courts, outdoor BBQ/grill. The property had all the amenities including brand new TV, brand new stove for cooking food. The owner also provided fresh fruits from her farm. They also had beach amenities including snorkeling and body board equipment, beach umbrellas, etc. We felt like we were home. I highly recommend staying here. The place is extremely quiet and there are wonderful shops and restaurants very close by.

We had a lovely stay! The owner - Lin was top notch greeted us upon arrival, brought us a wonderful spread of fruit to enjoy, and was always available if we had any questions. The area is a great spot for morning walks down to the water, and location to stores and restaurants was very good. The pool was never to crowded, and at the end of the day the hot tub was great to enjoy!

First, our host, Lin Tottle, was awesome. We had a communication glitch (not Lin's fault) and we didn't have the correct gate code or info on how to get into the condo. I texted Lin about our difficulties and she replied almost immediately. The condo was spacious and nicely furnished and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The outdoor sitting area was spacious and has comfortable chairs and a nice table. The bathroom was spacious with double sinks and the shower was wonderful. My wife and I had a wonderful time and highly recommend this unit.

Lin was very welcoming and friendly, and brought us fresh produce from her farm. Beautiful and quiet condo in wonderful area of Waikoloa. Easy walk to beach and shops.

The host was welcoming. The location was great, facility was clean and good condition, but dated.

Our second great stay in Lin's Waikoloa condo! The new hardwood floors, couch, and TV are nice upgrades. Already looking forward to another visit.

Great complex. Close to the beach and Queens market. The pool and fitness center (gym) were a nice addition. The gym was surprisingly well equipped and suitable for most types of workouts.

We received timely communications from Lin prior to our visit, and she even checked in with us at the end of our stay. The apartment was cute, clean, and furnished with everything we needed, including extra linens. The lanai was spacious, and the walk-in shower was amazing. The stackable washer and dryer actually worked, and the kitchen was quite functional. The icing on the cake was the lovely fruit Lin left for us.

The place was immaculate, the location was fantastic and in a gated community, and the host was very responsive to needs. The only minor nuisances were that the floor outside the bedroom was extremely squeaky, and you had to squeeze behind the toilet in order to close the door because the toilet room was so tiny. That said, the vanity area and shower were very roomy and luxurious! The AC was adequate, but not amazing, however, it would get down to 73 at night by opening the windows and turning on the ceiling fans. There was also a portable tower fan that was nice to aim at the bed while sleeping for extra cooling. I would definitely recommend for the price and location!

This was our second stay at this condo and we loved it just as much as the first time. The condo was very clean and well-stocked. Like last time, we were welcomed with a bowl of fresh fruit!We were also delighted with all the recent updates including new countertops, floor, sleeper-sofa and TV.Great location, near King's/Queen's and A-bay. Very nice host! Lin is just amazing! What more could you ask for?

First of all, we loved the area! It was so peaceful. Easy walk to grocery and shops and also just about a 15 minute walk to the beach. Great restaurants in the area The condo itself could not have been nicer It was clean and better stocked than any condo. We have stayed in in the last 25 years. The fresh fruit left for us was above and beyond.We will definitely stay there again on our next visit to Hawaii

My daughter and I absolutely loved our time here, especially after spending 2 days at the Hilton. Our stay here was so peaceful and exactly what we wanted. The Lanai was perfect for watching the sunrise each morning and listening to the birds. The breeze at night kept everything cool and we never needed to turn the air conditioning on, we loved that. Everything for a perfect Beach day was available too... Chairs, towels, a cooler and even a boogie board. Hapuna Beach is just a short drive up the road and is not to be missed. The complex pool was never crowded and the water was the perfect temperature. The condo has been upgraded since the were photos taken,there are new counter tops, flooring, bathroom remodeled and a very nice sleeper sofa. Lin was a wonderful host as well, even leaving a plate of fruit from her farm for us to enjoy. It really felt like we were home instead of on vacation. We hope to come back again someday!

The host was outstanding. Lin had fruit from her farm when we arrived and had us out to the farm to enjoy all its pleasures. We have stayed in this develpment often due to its location. The lanai was a great place to eat outside and relax on the lounge chairs. The new sofa was very comfortable, but with that said, the loveseat is uncomfortable and needs to be replaced. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. The dresser drawers kept falling out and should be addressed. People below us complained a couple of times, but not sure how we could have been more quiet. It's just the nature of units in this development. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable stay with a wonderful host!

We were excited when we arrived and needed to unwind after 2 weeks of activities in New Zealand. We had a funtime while visiting our O'hana family who live nearby. The villa was perfect for me and my husband. Ideally located for all the activities we love doing.

Condo was absolutely spotless and smelled clean. Everything you need in a home away from home is provided. There is even an amazing bowl of fresh local fruit waiting in the kitchen for you. King bed was amazingly comfortable. Bathroom is spacious and so is the shower. It is a quiet community but everyone that I ran in to seemed to be having a good time. The property is located deep in Waikoloa Village just before the Hilton Waikoloa property. It is a gated community so I felt very safe

Our work trip is completed and we have nice sleep and nice stay at this place, We stay in this area quite often because of the most conveniently to restaurant, work, and sight seeing. will come back again.

A large one bedroom condo that is perfect for a short stay. Spotless and squeaky clean! When we couldn’t get the bedding TV to work, the owner immediately came over to help us. When we left we accidentally forgot to pack a few items and Lin called us to alert us. The bathroom has been remodeled and a new sofa is in the living room. They plan on renovating the kitchen next, though it is adequate now. We are not big fans of Waikaloa Beach crevasse there are so many visitors there, but this condo provided for our needs.

Very cozy and warm relaxing place. Well stocked. Close to the beach and stores. Would stay here again. Liked the simple layout and cleanliness.

Easy! Easy check in, well stocked kitchen, access to beautiful walks and beaches. Perfect setting for our first three days on the island!

Lin’s place was just as described! She was easy to communicate with and left us a huge tray of fruits from her farm!!! It had everything someone traveling from out of state would need! We had a great time in Kona!

This is our second stay at this condo. On our first stay we were not only impressed with the condo, but even more the friendliness and helpfulness of the owner. Like the first visit, Lin placed a plate of fresh fruit from her own farm in the kitchen to greet us. We even visited her farm and met Lin and her husband. When we decided to go to Hawaii this time we immediately reserved this condo without even considering any others because we knew we would be happy with it and the host as well. One has to be nit picking to find fault with this condo. If we return to Hawaii again we will looking at this condo again. Thanks Lin!
