Big Island Golf Villas by Coldwell Banker Island Vacations

Hotel Description

You know what’s funny about the Big Island Golf Villas? The name actually tells you everything you need to know – and I mean that in the best way possible. This isn’t some fancy resort trying to be something it’s not. It’s exactly what it sounds like: comfortable villa-style accommodations that happen to be perfectly positioned for golf lovers, managed by Coldwell Banker Island Vacations (which, honestly, gives you that extra peace of mind when you’re booking).

I’ll be straight with you – at three stars, you’re not getting marble bathrooms or turndown service, but that 8.0 rating isn’t an accident. What you get instead is something that feels more like staying at a friend’s place who happens to live in paradise. The villas have that lived-in comfort that’s actually way better than sterile hotel rooms. You’ve got real kitchens where you can make coffee at 5 AM without trekking to a lobby, and the kind of lanais where you’ll find yourself lingering way longer than planned. The golf course views don’t hurt either – there’s something about waking up to those manicured greens that just sets the right tone for a Big Island morning.

What I really appreciate is how this place gets the Big Island vibe right. It’s not trying to compete with those massive resorts on the Kohala Coast, and that’s actually its strength. You’re staying somewhere that feels connected to the real island rhythm. The property management folks know their stuff too – Coldwell Banker’s local team actually understands things like which units get the best trade wind flow (trust me, this matters more than you think) and they’re genuinely helpful with insider tips about everything from the best farmers markets to which beaches the locals actually use. Plus, let’s talk practicalities – parking is never an issue here, something you’ll appreciate after dealing with some of the more crowded resort areas. The check-in process is refreshingly straightforward, and you won’t find yourself waiting in line behind tour groups. It’s that sweet spot where you get the amenities you need without the chaos you don’t want.

Visitors often choose Hawaii apartments over traditional hotels because they provide more space, kitchen facilities, and the opportunity to live like a local in this magnificent Pacific paradise.
