Few Condos for Sale at Waikoloa Beach Villas

The Waikoloa Beach Villas developer townhouse-style unit for sale (MLS 241983) has a built-in grill like this

With the developer of Waikoloa Beach Villas having moved most of their remaining inventory in 2010, and the short sales and foreclosures having been snapped up at attractive prices, the beginning of the 2011 high season finds prospective buyers with very little to choose from.

Of the four condos currently listed for sale, three are developer. One of these is a 3-bedroom on the golf course side offered for $569,900. Of the eight (yes, 8!) condos with offers on them, four are 3-bedrooms, at prices ranging from $449,900 for an REO(bank-owned) property to $499,900 for another developer unit. The REO was a great buy for someone. It had lots of cool upgrades, with the only downside being its location directly adjacent to the King's Shops near the gas station.

The developer also has listed two of the larger 2-bedroom floorplan for $399,900 and 414,900. Both units are adjacent to one of the two pools in the complex. The only resale listing of this floorplan is asking $389,000 on the golf course (more private) side.

If you are looking at a Waikoloa Beach Villas listing on-line and can't figure out from the funny numbering where the unit is, here's a quick guide. The letter A through O, indicates the Building. The numbers indicate the unit in the building (at many Kohala Coast condos, like Kolea and Halii Kai which are also in Waikoloa Beach Resort, or the Fairways and Kulalani at Mauna Lani, the system is reversed, with the number being the building and the letter being the unit)

Buildings A-D are all poolside. These are 6-plex buildings. The largest 3-bedroom, townhomes on the end are numbered 1 and 4. Two-bedrooms on the ground floor - units 2 and 3 (slightly smaller than the golf course units)and the 2 bedroom + loft are units 22 and 23. These larger two-bedrooms have interior stairs which create a funny entrance where the front door opens directly onto a set of stairs.

Buildings E-P are golf course/lake view (except for the side of E where the REO was located, which has a gas station view), 8-plex with elevators. Again the numbers 1 or 4 indicates they are 3-bedrooms; , 2 and 3 are ground floor; 22 and 23 are second floor and 32 and 33 are top floors.

All Waikoloa Beach Villas have detached garages. Buildings I, L, O have the garages that face out which provide tandem parking, which is considered a plus. HINT: two of the four condos available for sale are in the desirable O building!
