Includes Beach Gear G3 Waikoloa Beach Villas Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Includes Beach Gear G3 Waikoloa Beach Villas, you immediately get that relaxed Hawaii vibe — this isn’t some towering resort, but rather a collection of low-rise buildings that actually blend into the landscape. The three-star property sits right on Waikoloa Beach Drive, and honestly, the location is what really makes this place shine. You know what struck me most? They’ve got all the beach gear included (hence the name), which means you’re not scrambling to rent boogie boards or beach chairs once you arrive.

The Location Advantage

This spot is seriously well-positioned — I mean, you’re basically in the heart of the Waikoloa Beach Resort area without paying resort prices. The beach is just a short walk away, and you’ve got easy access to both the Hilton Waikoloa Village and the Marriott properties if you want to explore their restaurants or shops. What I really appreciated was the free parking right on site — sounds basic, but trust me, that’s not always a given in Hawaii resort areas. Couples seem to love it here, and I can see why; it’s got that intimate feel without being isolated.

The Villa Experience

The villa I stayed in felt more like a vacation apartment than a typical hotel room, which was refreshing. There’s actually space to spread out, and the kitchen setup means you can grab groceries from the nearby Queens’ MarketPlace and save some money on meals. The furnishings are comfortable rather than fancy — think clean, functional island style rather than high-end finishes. Each unit comes with that promised beach gear, and they’re not kidding around; umbrellas, chairs, coolers, even snorkel equipment.

Exploring the Area

Being on the Kohala Coast, you’re perfectly positioned for some of the Big Island’s best beaches. Hapuna Beach is about a 10-minute drive north, and it’s honestly one of the most beautiful stretches of sand I’ve seen anywhere. The ancient petroglyphs at the Waikoloa Petroglyph Preserve are walking distance away — sort of a hidden gem that most tourists miss. For dinner, you don’t have to go far; the Kings’ Shops and Queens’ MarketPlace are right there with everything from casual poke bowls to upscale dining at Merriman’s.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is the value proposition — you get a prime Waikoloa location with all the beach essentials included, plus the freedom of a villa-style setup. The recent guest ratings speak for themselves, especially that perfect 10.0 for location. It’s not trying to be a fancy resort, and that’s actually its strength. You get the space, the gear, the great location, and you save money that you can spend on activities or that helicopter tour you’ve been thinking about. For couples especially, it hits that sweet spot of romantic setting without the resort crowds.
