About this apartment rental
Welcome to Makai Sunsets, a luxury retreat in Vista Waikoloa—one of the Big Island's most walkable and desirable resort communities. Just a short 5–8 minute stroll to A-Bay's beautiful white sand beach, this spacious, thoughtfully renovated condo combines the privacy and comfort of upscale condo living with the convenience of nearby resorts, restaurants, shopping, beaches, and golf.
Featuring one of the largest floor plans in the community, Makai Sunsets offers more than 1,700+ square feet of indoor-outdoor living, including a rare oversized wraparound lanai. Spend your mornings enjoying Kona coffee on the lanai, your afternoons exploring the Kohala Coast, and your evenings surrounded by warm tropical breezes, colorful Hawaiian sunsets, and partial ocean views framed by vibrant island gardens.
Guests return year after year for the exceptional location, oversized lanai, thoughtful amenities, and island lifestyle that simply feels more spacious and comfortable than a typical resort hotel stay.

The condo is located close to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and beautiful beaches. It’s on the second floor and there is an elevator. It is beautifully decorated and has everything you’d need to enjoy your stay. Plenty of beach toys, towels, and an ice chest on wheels. You have a peek of the ocean from the lani and living room. The kitchen is well equipped. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again!

We have traveled to the big Island quite a bit over the last 20 years. We have been staying at the Vistas for the past 15 years and love this location and the complex. This unit is one of our favorites that we have stayed in. It’s well equipped with beach gear, kitchen stuff and even cocktail shakers and glasses. We can’t wait to return and hope to stay in this unit again!

Kona is Puiwa! The beautiful condo was a perfect location to launch our adventures. It had all the amenities we needed! 2 bedrooms with king beds and attached bathrooms were perfect for 2 couples. A gorgeous upgraded kitchen. Beach chairs and umbrellas for lazy days on Kona’s amazing beaches! Sunsets on the lanai were incredible. The location allowed us easy access to Volcanoes National Park as well as other parts of the island. Totally recommend this condo…5 Stars!
