As of November 2026, the 2026 condo median at Waikoloa Beach Resort is $1,099,000, essentially flat year over year, at about $790 per square foot, with entry-level 2-bedroom condos starting in the $700,000s.

Yes — Waikoloa Beach Resort is one of the few Big Island communities broadly permitted for short-term rentals. Kolea, Hali‘i Kai, Shores at Waikoloa, Vista Waikoloa, and Fairway Villas all allow nightly vacation rentals, and many owners net strong returns through on-site rental programs or professional managers. Always confirm current HOA rules and County of Hawaii STR registration before closing, as regulations continue to evolve.

Waikoloa Beach Resort is the coastal master-planned resort community at sea level along A-Bay, featuring hotels, championship golf, beachfront condos, and vacation rentals. Waikoloa Village is the residential upcountry town roughly 6 miles inland and 1,000 feet higher, built around the Big Island Country Club area, with primary-residence neighborhoods, Waikoloa Elementary & Middle School, and significantly lower price points — a different lifestyle and buyer profile entirely.

Waikoloa Beach Resort’s golf club is a 27-hole complex made up of the Beach, Lakes, and Kings’ nines, drawing on the original Robert Trent Jones Jr. Beach Course and the Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish Kings’ Course. It is open to the public. Waikoloa Village Golf Club sits upcountry in Waikoloa Village.

Yes — Anaeho‘omalu Bay (A-Bay) is one of the Big Island’s most swimmable beaches, with a long crescent of soft sand, calm protected waters, and a gradual sandy-bottom entry that’s ideal for families, snorkelers, and stand-up paddlers. Onshore rental huts offer kayaks, SUPs, snorkel gear, and outrigger canoe rides.

HOA dues at Waikoloa Beach Resort condos typically range from $800 to $2,200 per month, varying by complex, unit size, and amenity level. Luxury oceanfront projects like Kolea and Hali‘i Kai sit at the higher end due to concierge services, pools, fitness centers, and resort-grade landscaping, while Shores, Vista, and Fairway Villas trend lower. Single-family fairway homes generally pay modest community association dues of $150–$400 per month.
