Charming 1-Bed 1.5-Bath at The Shores Near beaches Dining and Golf

The host Coldwell banker was great. Unit was as clean as it could get. Overall the unit is tired, needs to be refreshed with paint, flooring, and a new TV.

Everything

The booking was cancelled due to water heater going out and not being repaired in time - as we were flying to Hawaii. Effectively - I received the cancellation after the check-in time. They had a replacement unit in an inferior location without air conditioning. I received a full refund, and am working with VRBO to reimburse me for the extra cost for the unit we had to find on extremely short notice - jury still out on that as I have been getting the run around from VRBO. Wasn’t impressed with the communication from the property manager - and will avoid using them in the future.

The location is perfect for fun in the sun. Great area to go on walks, access the beach, shop and dine. The unit was super clean and supplied with everything you could need. The unit is older, not modernly renovated which I liked. It had more of a homey feel and traditional Hawaii vibe to put me in the island frame of mind.

We have been to the Big Island many times and usually stay in Kona. We always go out to Wailoloa a couple of times each trip for the beach, shopping and grocery store there. The condo was quiet, comfortable and in a great location. The gym was great and a great perk of staying there. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well as used the bbq for making dinner. We have already decided to stay there again next time.
