I feel like we had a somewhat undiscovered gem of a unit in the Vista Waikoloa complex. Why? When I look at a map, building G looks like it is far back on the property and thus potentially further from the beach, shopping, etc. But this is not true! Walk to the back of the condo unit, where the golf course is, and it is a super short walk to Kings' Shops as well as to A-Bay. With this convenience, coupled w/ the quiet back side of the building facing the serene golf course with unobstructed (and very private) views of Mauna Kea - it was perfect! Many of the other buildings that are supposedly better situated are actually close to a street, so your view (and noise) and not nearly as nice as ours was!
The condo was well equipped w/ kitchen supplies, extra bedding, beach towels and some beach gear like an umbrella and "noodles" for floating. We would have loved some boogie boards. We left behind a fishing pole for others to use. We never used the A/C - keeping all the doors open day and night with strategic use of shades was much more comfy. Overall - a great location and well tended condo.
