Hali'i Kai 7F is a spacious, well-maintained townhome in a private gated community. The kitchen cookware and storage items were plentiful, and the laundry room closet was full of essentials for our days at the beach (there are numerous to choose from within a 15-minute driving radius). The resort pool and Ocean Club restaurant were amazing—we did not observe any issues with the property rules. This location was a convenient base for our excursions to Waipi‘o Valley Lookout, Mauna Kea summit to watch the sunset & stargazing and snorkeling. And a couple rounds of golf on the nearby courses. Excellent timely communication with the owners, Steve and Maryanne.

So many extras! We had absolutely everything and then some. Cooking needs, tableware, bedding, blankets, outdoor and beach gear. We enjoyed the pickleball play as the locals were warm and welcoming. The view was amazing. Don’t hesitate to book here you will not regret it!

The unit was in very good shape. 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Lots of beach gear was provided in a closet. Air conditioning was very good. Lots of towels beach and bath and a full size washer and dryer. The property manager (maybe also the owner?) was very helpful in allowing us to stay late to our checkout for a small additional fee. The location in Waikaloa was very good as well.

June 9th-June 17th The entire atmosphere of the house enhanced the beautiful scenery. The house is very well maintained, we never had to “wish” we had or needed anything. The spectacular views from both lanais were worth every bit of our rental fee. The pictures do not do the house justice, there is just no way to capture all of the beauty. Steve and Maryanne were very informative and have the island mapped out for interesting outings. We took their advice on where to snorkel and we were not disappointed…we played with several sea turtles and saw beautifully colored fish. I really can’t say enough about our stay, this house is a real “find”. You can’t go wrong with this rental. Wish we could have stayed another week or two or three…

I can’t overstate how well the Hali’i Kai was appointed. Every appliance you could want including a rice cooker! The pantry was stocked with lots of seasonings. I highly recommend you check in before going shopping as most of what you need is already provided. Weber grill on the private deck made cooking there a joy. In addition there was a large closet full of beach equipment including half a dozen Maui Jim beach chairs. Beach umbrellas and snorkel gear rounded out all we needed for beach trips. Lots of cooking and dishware provided. High quality hand soaps and Pantene hair products were provided in the three bathrooms. Beds were very comfortable and we loved the sheets. It literally felt like we walked into someone’s home which was a wonderful home away from home. The food and drinks available at the pool were great! Incredible sunsets each night from either the unit or pool. Right across the street was a putting green. There were putters and balls in the unit which we enjoyed during friendly putting tournaments. If you like to fish, we caught lots of fish from the shore right there! The binder provided had all of the critical information you need to enjoy your stay. We visited several of the restaurants that were recommended in the binder with great success. We had no problem parking two cars during our stay. There is a visitors parking place right outside your door and several around the complex additionally. Highly recommend!

The townhome was as described in the photos. Amazing sunsets and views of the golf course. The owners were very responsive and communicated via text to see if everything was ok. There is lots to do in the area. We went night snorkeling with the manta rays, watched sunset and stargazed at the top of Mauna Kea and golfed at the Waikoloa beach golf course. The pool area is great and the beach is close by. Everything was great - I would recommend the townhome to family and friends.
