As a former condo owner I would sure that the shower in the master bath drips, even when tightly turned off and the toilet (also in the master bath) will intermittently flush, so might need a new seal. ##### Kathy E. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew S. 25 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exactly as advertised. We enjoyed our stay at Waikoloa Colony Villas. This unit is tucked away in a nice corner of the complex, yet very close to one of the pools; also to the BBQ grills located at the pool. The unit is very clean, communication along with check in was easy. Also appreciated that the managers didn't leave a long list of check-out "duties". Hate that when also paying a cleaning fee. The listing is very accurate, with only one small comment; renters may not use the garage. This is not part of the listing, but some units in this complex do allow garage use, so useful to know. Instead, there is a dedicated parking spot as close to the unit as possible; really only a few extra steps. Clean, easy, nice, convenient location and exactly as described. They even left some welcome macadamia nuts! That's 5 star in my book. ##### Matthew S.
