Waikoloa Colony Villas

Located along the 10th fairway of the Beach Course, the Waikoloa Colony Villas community feels like its own private golf resort while at the same time enjoying all of the nearby shopping, restaurants, activities, and beaches located inside the Waikoloa Resort area. This quiet gated community has a selection of very private two and three bedroom two-story townhomes with lush landscaping, convenient features, and generous amenities.

With only 112 spacious residences on this secluded property and no one living above or below, the Colony Villas offer a high degree of peaceful privacy in a breathtaking tropical setting. Of the three floor plans, the 3 bedroom / 3.5 bath B model offers the most expansive layout with nearly 1700 square feet interior living space and another 191 square feet split between the covered ground floor patio and the second floor lanai. Each townhome has its own attached garage.

Lush foliage surrounds each unit and natural light streams in through the oversized picture windows, while volcano views greet you at every turn on the second level. Even the smallest unit, the 2 bedroom / 2 bath 1226 square foot model C affords plenty of privacy, with a ground floor bedroom and bath, beautiful open plan great room and covered lanai off the upstairs master suite.

If you want to gather the whole clan, the clubhouse located adjacent to one of the two large waterfall fed pools, has a party deck, kitchen and lounge. The main pool area includes a whirlpool spa, shady arbor and swaying palms. There is also a private full size tennis court and air conditioned fitness center for the exclusive use of residents.

Halii Kai

This private gated oceanfront community stretches along the lush fairways carved out of the lava of the Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed golf course to the crashing surf of the Pacific Ocean. There are three distinctly Kohala floor plans and a wealth of amenities and views available to satisfy every need.

The garden level junior 2 bedroom / 2 bath units, named Mahana or warmth, include a surprisingly spacious 1082 square feet of interior living space and a 122 square foot open patio. The outdoor patio opens off the luxurious great room with its gourmet kitchen, dining area and living room creating the kind of indoor/outdoor living space synonymous with the Kohala Coast lifestyle.

Many of the spacious lanais of the second level 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom Hooulu models along the golf course enjoy impressive ocean views as do the two story 3 bedroom / 3 bath penthouses with 1677 square feet of interior living space. The penthouse’s two lanais give you the option of stepping out of your master suite for a private morning of whale watching or volcano gazing with your coffee or descending to the open 20 foot ceiling great room for a family meal al fresco.

Of the 24 three story buildings spread across the site, three buildings, numbered 13, 14 and 15 command oceanfront positions adjacent to the owner’s club on an imposing black lava cliff overlooking the crashing surf. Buildings numbered 1 through 12 line the 9th and the signature ocean front 7th hole of the Waikoloa Beach Course, while 18 through 24 are clustered around the coconut grove with its gas grills, picnic tables, and palm tree hammocks. Nearby the relaxing coconut grove is the community’s private basketball and tennis courts. Buildings 16 and 17 take advantage of their proximity to the oceanfront private owner’s club that includes a spectacular saltwater pool, fitness center and the Ocean Club Bar and Grill where you’ll find many of the neighbors gathering for pupus at sunset.
