Professional staff, great location, reasonable rates. The development is great, with a fantastic pool. You can walk to the beach, or it's a very short drive with free public parking at the beach. Our particular unit had dated furniture, but it was also very reasonably priced. We were on the side facing the golf course, with a beautiful sunrise. We didn't see many golfers so it felt very private. Owners of other units were friendly.

A great choice for families

Our family has stayed at Vista Waikoloa many times over the past 15 years and it is one of our favorite spots on the Big Island. The 2 bed 2-1/2 bath units are particularly good  as the second bedroom is a bit more private and we are partial to the C building for its ocean views and proximity to the fabulous pool (always warm!) The lanais are huge and we eat dinner out there every night. A-Bay is a short walk away and there are many beautiful beaches within an easy drive. Hapuna  and Waialea (69) are  well known but we also love Kikua and early morning snorkeling with the turtles at Puako is a great treat. We have stayed at other properties within Waikoloa Beach, but this is easily our favorite.

Great location in Waikoloa Beach

Great experience.  Irena communicated very well in advance of our check in and was responsive in answering all of our questions. She worked hard to make sure our check-in and arrival as well as our stay went smoothly.

No parking fee and no resort fees!

Condo was quiet we did not hear the neighbors at all.  I do think many units were empty while we were there in early May 2019.  Stairs and elevator available to get to 2nd and 3rd floors.  

Condo is spacious.  Large master bath with tub and separate walk in shower.  The balcony is huge! Fully appointed kitchen, washer/dryer.  Cable TV and unit is stocked with board games and books.  Wish I could have stayed another week to just relax after all the sight seeing!

Enjoyed our stay and was a good value.

clean, spacious, beauiful condo

Stayed in A202. The condo is extremely well appointed, stocked like no other I've ever stayed in, beautiful view, very silent from neighbors (give exception to grounds maintenance as the grounds are beautiful and they must work during your stay to maintain the beauty), the 2 lanai's are spacious and well appointed with a couch, coffee table, swivel chairs, and the other with dining table for 6. The condo looks designer complete and we wanted for nothing aesthetically or materially. The views are beautiful and calming.  
The owner could not be more gracious and attentive. Lots of room all throughout the condo and it feels like home vs a sterile condo. Very warm and inviting. 
I am looking to come back soon, I hope.

AWESOME

The good:
1) Ocean view from the lanai about 2 blocks away through the palm trees.  Didn't miss coffee in the morning a sunset over the water at night.
2) Larger-size 2 bed 2 1/2 bath unit.  Two lanais including one outside the master bedroom.
3) Master bath and second bath have a luxury feeling with stonework.
4) Staff was easy to work with.  Super friendly and knowledgeable.  Instructions were straightforward.  
5) Lots of gas grills for your barbecuing pleasure
The bad:
1) Just below the lanai is the road.  Not a lot of traffic, but if that kind of thing bothers you, you might want to keep looking.  A/C knocks out the noise inside.
2) Each toilet comes with a plunger.  You will need them.
3) Furnishings are super-basic and more than a bit worn.  OK for a short stay, but you will notice it after a while.
4) TV's are about 20 inches.  You don't want to be here during the Super Bowl.

Vista Waikoloa B205 - Very good overall, but some things to consider

We have stayed before in this resort so we were very familiar with its location and layout.  Our unit, E203, upon entry we were impressed.  Nice layout, nice kitchen, big living room and updated bathroom.  This unit also supplied snorkeling equipment and chairs.  The nightmare began when we went to bed that night.  When I rented the unit I knew the bed in the master was Q/S.  The real problem was the old soft and lumpy mattress,  With all the updates, they should have invested in at least a memory foam mattress.  The same for the twins in the 2nd bedroom.  Every time I moved. I woke my wife.  Would not rent again until this is changed.

DO NOT STAY IN UNIT E203 UNTIL THEY CHANGE THE BEDS

Stayed at Vista Waikoloa for 5 nights, overall a good experience but it has some needed attention. 

Pros: The condo we had on the 3rd floor had a great view, perfect for sunsets. Condo was clean and well stocked but a bit outdated. You can walk to the to beach and shops from here and there were beach chairs and boogie boards available for use. Large open floor plan was perfect for our family. 

Cons: Ice maker broken. Toilet squealed all night and day until you flush it. Shower heads need to be replaced. Noisy area, lots of tile work and roofing during the day felt like staying in a construction zone. Front security gate was gone on the entrance side! But exit side still had the gate? Overpriced for what you get, other condos in the same area with similar price are much more updated and quiet. 

Great location though for golf and you can walk to Tropics bar and grill and the Hilton hotel. BBQ area was nice, pool was clean. Would look at other options before staying here again but overall we enjoyed our stay for the most part.

Not bad but stayed in better condos in the same area

We had booked G206 for 12 days and were contacted 3 days before arrival that our unit needed repairs and we needed to take a different unit -- this one was on the 1st floor. We had stayed in Vista before and knew that the 1st floor units had very little privacy so we asked if there were others we could choose from on the 2nd or 3rd floors. They told us we could have B202 but only for 8 nights and then, assuming G206 was fixed, we could move there for the remaining 3 nights. We figured a move after a week wasn't too bad so we agreed. B202 was very nice, great kitchen, very comfortable lanai furniture, and comfortable beds. It was very close to the pool so somewhat noisy and not much of a view from the lanai but also close to the bbq area. The day before we moved, we checked with the office about G206 and were told that it would be available. However we were also told that checkout from B202 was 11 am and check-in to G206 was 3 pm (as if we were just arriving at the property). We said we needed to be able to move our stuff, including food in the refrigerator at 11, but that we would be gone for most of the day so wouldn't interrupt any final repair/cleanup work that was needed in G206. The person in the office grudgingly said that would be OK. After moving into G206 we realized how lucky we had been to get B202 for the first 8 nights. G206 is a much lower quality unit. The bed was very uncomfortable, lanai furniture was awful, and second bedroom (which we didn't use) had only sliding doors between it and the dining area which might be fine for kids but pretty awful if you were staying with another couple. It did have a better view than B202 (over the golf course), however the sprinkler system ran all night long outside the bedroom windows and the groundskeepers started in mowing about 5:30 am. It is definitely worth checking out reviews of specific units before booking.

Stayed in B202 (good) and G206 (bad) - quality is very unit-specific

We have stayed at this property at least three times in two different condo units. We enjoy the location and proximity to the beach and shopping. The pool is generally fine and there are some nice views depending on which condo you are in. Overall, the condos seem to be getting a little rundown.

My issue is with the management of the property. Unfortunately, on our last night, there was a major rainstorm which triggered an extremely loud siren in the building we were staying in. It went off at 4 AM. Awoken and alarmed, we called the after hours number and got a voice message. We then called 911 to determine if there was an emergency. Police and fire said to call back if we smelled smoke. 

The alarm went off continuously for three more hours. We heard back from the property management team at 6 AM, two hours after our first message. One hour later the alarm was still going off at 7 AM. We called management again and they sounded surprised to hear it was still going off. 

It was incredibly distressing and a sad way to end our beautiful stay on Hawaii. it bothers me that the property management team was not available and the guests had to endure three hours of nonstop blaring siren. My interactions with the agency were less than satisfactory and they declined any reimbursement or future discount. I understand that torrential rainstorms happen and alarms get triggered, but three hours of sirens from 4 to 7 AM is unacceptable.

Poorly managed property

If you want a carefree vacation without feeling that you need to repair or fix house problems stay away from Unit 205B in Vista Waikoloa.  The lamp in the 2nd bedroom has a shortage that is actually dangerous, especially if you have young children, they is a hold around the outlet.  The toilet won't flush, you have to plunge after every use, which can be quite messy.  The beds, a full and twin are not stable, don't make a sudden move to sit on them because you might end up on the floor.  The twin bed is directly in front of the closet, which makes it hard to get to the closet.  So, if you want just place to sleep and shower, you might like this place, if you can put up with ant traps everywhere.  The furniture is uncomfortable and dated and it make you feel as if something will crawl out of it.  The kitchen is the nicest place in the unit, but the countertop is so wide that one can hardly reach the outlet to plug in the appliances. Simple put, I would not rent again for the price charged.
