Learn more about our condo and all fun, relaxing things to do on the Big Island @escapetokolea on IG and FB.<br /><br />Don't forget to add us to your Airbnb wishlist! Those lists are so useful to come back to for your final booking decision. <br /><br />Kōlea is a small, gated, well maintained, luxury resort condo and single-family home community that provides a variety of bed/bath size options for your family or group vacation. The sturdy buildings feature eye catching architectural details amid meticulously maintained garden landscapes. <br /><br />Our villa is a spacious 2 bed / 2 bath home (1,270 square feet) with a serene garden level walkout off the lanai. <br /><br />The master bedroom offers a king bed (new mattress as of 2024).  The second bedroom has twin beds (new as of 2021). The twin beds can be converted into a king bed upon request and after paying a $40 fee after booking. We ask you give us plenty of notice ahead of time for that request. <br /><br />Each bedroom has its own spacious private bathroom with double vanity sinks and a tub/shower.  The master bath has a walk-in shower with large soaker garden bath to relax in after a long day exploring the great outdoors of Hawaii. <br /><br />The living room has a queen size fold out sofa bed (new as of 2023).  Let us know if you need to use the sofa bed so that it is prepped by our cleaning team before check-in. We do not charge extra for this request. However, it is not made up during each stay unless specifically requested.<br /><br />Each room comes with a TV and Roku. The living room and master bedroom have basic cable. High speed 5G Wi-Fi and a DVD player is provided. We also provide cards and other game options located in our TV entertainment center in the living room. <br /><br />The kitchen is fully furnished and stocked with all the key dining essentials, utensils, appliances, cooking oil, a few other basic ingredients/spices needed for cooking a gourmet meal and taking a break from the costs of restaurants. <br /><br />You can stock up on groceries in Kona at Safeway and Target for the best prices. There is a Food Land in Mauna Lani up the road from Waikoloa Beach Resort that is the closest grocery store to the condo and works in a pinch. Waikoloa Village has a KTA that we love. There is an Island Gourmet in Queens Marketplace that carries quick bites. Everything outside of Kona tends to be pricier for the convenience. <br /><br />The dining room area will comfortably seat 6 people. The lanai has a Viking BBQ with wet bar, lockable mini fridge and cabinet storage. Propane is provided. Enjoy a meal outside while soaking up the beauty and serenity of Kōlea. Bird song and watching is a must. <br /><br />Kolea Beach Club has amazing beach and sunset views and my absolute favorite place to hang out on the island. It is an incredibly peaceful and relaxing environment. We spend the majority of our time there as a family. It provides amazing views of 'Anaeho'omalu Bay and the freshwater ancient fishpond that the Hawaiian royals once enjoyed. Kolea is on a preservation site with incredibly maintained natural landscaping and lots of wildlife to view and enjoy. The club has a large infinity pool, with lava rock spa. Towel service and coffee service is provided. There is a sand bottom, shallow, keiki pool for kids with a lava rock waterfall. It's off to the side of the infinity pool with lounge chairs for parents to lay back and enjoy while watching their kids. There is a fitness hale, men and women bathrooms and rinse off showers. Plenty of lounge chairs with umbrellas for shade as well as two large, shaded cabanas. There are tables and chairs to sit, eat and drink if you want to bring food to enjoy the atmosphere. The club has a gate with a private path for Kolea guests to A-Bay. Enjoy swimming at the beach and making sandcastles with the kids. There is a rental shack in front of the Marriott if guests want to enjoy beach activities. Beach gear is available in our carport storage for guests to use. We offer beach towels, some sand toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, a cooler bag and umbrellas.<br /><br />Note: The beach club opens at 7am and closes at 9:30.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Kōlea is a private gated community. You will be given the access code for the entry gate and front door smart lock the day of arrival. <br /><br />The beach club includes a charming, comfortable shaded cabana area to sit and relax, infinity pool, jacuzzi with stunning A- Bay views, plenty of space to lounge, a Keiki sandy bottom shallow water pool with a beautiful lava rock waterfall, a fitness center hale and the most direct, private path to the beach. Showers are available for rinsing off outside the gate on your way back from the beach. <br /><br />We have a gate in Kolea that leads to the Marriott property next door so you can access the boardwalk they have to get to the beach if you don't want to go through the beach club and walk the private path to the beach. Either way gets you to the beach depending on where you want to go. Lava Lava Beach Club Restaurant can be accessed walking from Kolea along the shoreline or you can drive there and park. <br /><br />My favorite walk on the island is taking a right at the end of Kolea's private path from the beach club to A-Bay and walking the perimeter of the bay toward Hilton. I love to go any time of the day, but it is incredibly beautiful around sunset.<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />There is a $300 cleaning fee. It takes a lot of effort for our crew to clean quickly and thoroughly between bookings and we want to pay them well for their hard work. Laundry and cleaning tasks can add up in a 1200 square foot, 6-person unit with a large BBQ. Much more work than the typical King bed hotel room without amenities like a large gourmet kitchen. We pay our cleaners well to ensure a much better experience for our guests overall. We do warn our guests that if the unit is left messier than what is standard, and our check-out instructions aren't followed then our cleaners will charge us for the extra time it takes to clean as it interferes with their other turnovers schedules. That burden of cost is the guest's responsibility to pay. <br /><br />Hawaii has the highest electricity costs in the nation. Costs can be as high as $1000 a month if we let guests have free access. In order to keep the nightly rate reasonable for guests, we set Nest thermostat from a range of 72-80 degrees. When we are at the condo for personal use, we typically keep it set at 76 and run the fans to circulate air at night when we sleep. Sometimes the electricity company will send us alerts to conserve energy or they might have to conduct rolling outages due to generation issues during high demand seasons. I keep guests in the loop on that. So far, our condo hasn't been directly impacted by loss of electricity since owning in 2020 because most communities are energy efficient.<br /><br />There is a 10.25% General Excise Tax and 4.712% Transient Accommodation Tax that the State and County of Hawaii requires hosts to collect on gross rental income. It is annotated in your booking breakdown and pricing.<br /><br />General Excise Tax License ID Number: GE-113-399-6544-01<br />Transient Accommodations Tax License ID Number: TA-113-399-6<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />STVR-19-350356
