About this apartment rental
Who says "family friendly" can't have elegant style and fantastic amenities? Our quiet, ground floor unit (8H) has all of the features that you'd like, and a price point that makes it easy to stay longer... Just check our reviews! This has been our "escape from the mainland", and we look forward to sharing it with you!
The condo is decorated in quality island-style furniture, which is "family friendly" yet very comfortable. The master bedroom has a king size bed, 42" plasma TV, walk in closet, and separate tub and showers.
The first guest room has a queen size bed, and a 32" LCD TV with DVD player, while the second guest bedroom offers two twin beds, and another 32" LCD TV with DVD player.
There is a queen size sofa-bed in the living room, too! Our beautiful lanai has seating for 4, and the large grass area gives you a place to play with the kids or a quick game from the great selection of "yard toys" in the unit. As you'd expect, there are great ocean views from the master bedroom, living room, dining area and kitchen.
The living room has a 3 cushion sofa with hide-a-bed, and two large wicker chairs, a 55" LCD "Smart" TV, a Blu-ray player and a Bluetooth speaker, while the dining room has a glass dining table with seating for eight.
Want to cook? We have you covered with a full kitchen. Want to BBQ? A Weber grill awaits. Grab a dinner away or a drink at the bar? One of the best places on the island is the private Hali'i Kai restaurant and bar, located just several hundred yards from your door. The pool area is exceptional for the family, too! This private area also offers a great workout facility, plenty of seating, and a BBQ pit. For those of you who prefer the beach, we have provided beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and a couple umbrellas.
When we say "family friendly", we mean it! We have three young children ourselves, so the unit comes with a highchair, port-a-crib, and toys (please be sure the kids leave them behind).
Your stay here will be a memorable one, and many of our guests return year after year - just read the reviews, and you'll see why! Need suggestions on where to go and what to do? Just ask - we're here to make your stay as fun and exciting (or relaxing, your choice!) as possible.
We are "SCUBA diver friendly", with amenities to help our diver friends - if you want to get in the water, we have the knowledge and resources locally that can help! Also, whale watching and boat trip recommendations are just a click away for our guests - just ask!
There is a $25/day resort fee per condo which is paid directly to the resort at check in.
As per Hawaii House Bill 2078 Act 326 we have designated Tracy Gillard as our “Hawaii - Big Island” on island contact for our guests to contact in case the owners are not reachable. Please attempt to contact Doug Erickson “Owner” before calling Tracy if assistance is needed.

Condo was perfect! Comfortable, clean, lots of "toys" for the beach. Every night was a perfect sunset view. Finally, many thoughtful touches to make stay easier.

My family of 6 spent a week here to celebrate our youngest’s graduation. Hali’i Kai was such a beautiful, lush property and the condo was more impressive than the pictures. It was quiet, included easy walking to pool, putting green and basketball court as well as a short drive to shops. Communication was top notch and the property was very well stocked. We are already talking about staying here when we come back.

The location is wonderful with great views of the ocean, where you can regularly see whales, either from the condo or from the pool and gym area. The condo was immaculate and extraordinarily well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The host was excellent in responding to any questions or needs.

Another wonderful stay at Hali’i Kai. Building 8 is placed perfectly to enjoy the views.

This is an excellent property on the Big Island. The condo is in a beautiful, quiet community and offers everything needed for a great visit to the sunny north Kona coast. There are tennis courts, pool, fitness center, and a restaurant in this gated community. The condo is well equipped to prepare your own meals if you choose, and has every appliance, including a gas grill, that you’ll need. The property offers everything we needed to enjoy the island including bicycles, snorkeling gear, tennis equipment, and beach chairs/umbrellas. We had a great visit and the condo/community was perfect for our family vacation. There’s no better way to start the day than by watching whales from the lanai with morning coffee!

This condo was perfect. Probably the best one we have ever rented. The location was exactly the dream spot possible and even better than the pictures show. As others have reported the unit was the most well equipped and everything you could want is there for you to have a wonderful experience at the condo and at the beach.
The section of the resort was secure and the close walk to the Ocean Club with its pool overlooking the ocean and bar and grill was a winner.
There were many things to do nearby including world class beaches and great restaurants.
Something was there for everyone. Shopping was available nearby in the same neighborhood so easy to stock up and cook at home in the kitchen that had all the items you would need.
The decor was lovely and comfortable inside and the beds were very comfortable. The Master bath has both a huge tub and shower. we were impressed with all the labels on lights etc to make it all so easy to figure out.
This was the perfect place for our group with an elderly couple adult couple and young child as it is a first floor unit with no stairs. The huge back yard with view of golf course and the ocean beyond was amazing. We spent much of our time on the covered porch watching to sunrise and sunset our toddler playing safely in the well landscaped and groomed lawn watching and chasing beautiful birds.
Lastly the weather there was perfect everyday and the ocean was not to cold to swim in November
It was a life experience; wonderful property

Lovely condo with golf course and ocean view! Great patio for sunsets. Condo has beach gear, beach towels, and plenty of kitchen dishes/equipment. We walked to the pool every day and there is a trail along the coast to other resorts. Loved it all.

We were lucky enough to book this property as our vacation plans had to change at the last minute. The condo is absolutely beautiful, well stocked and in a great location. We felt like we could have moved right in! The neighborhood pool is beautiful and clean. The backyard is right off the golf course with an ocean view during the day. The night sky in the backyard is magnificent. Owners are great communicators as well - lots of written instructions provided and quick texters as well. Thank you for a great stay!

Wonderful 10 days in paradise. 3 generations celebrating 50 th wedding anniversary of grandparents. Condo is excellent for 6-8. Well appointed. Lots of beach equipment in garage. Our 4 th time at a condo in Hali’i Kai. This was the best. Tremendous view of sunsets. Many excellent close beaches - a bay, Hapuna, 69, . Kids favorite was a-bay for easy snorkeling. Easy walk to beautiful pools area. Basketball court across street. Jogged every morning from condo on Ala kalakai trail along ocean to a-bay. Kids loved seeing porpoises at Hilton.

We loved everything about our stay. The condo is beautiful and very well stocked with everything you need for a fantastic beach vacation. The owner was very quick to respond to any thing we asked. We were sorry to see our time here end. Will definitely stay again. Our only complaints had nothing to do with actual condo. Our flight was delayed and we didn’t arrive until right at 6pm when office was supposed to close. However they closed early that day 5:15 so when gate code didn’t work we were a little panicked. Luckily another resident let us in but then the pool attendant was VERY rude to us. We learned later that this particular pool attendant ( the only one) was just cranky about everything. We heard from at least 8 other families that she had given them grief also. Other than this our stay was perfect.

Our first time staying here and we will definitely come again. Beautiful views, quiet, easy, clean, organized unit and community. We loved the lower unit and the grass outside the lanai. We played corn hole, spike ball and more. Quick walk to ocean trail. The community pool, restaurant and gym were a PLUS. We loved the option to go here everyday. The condo itself was clean spacious and just right for 8 adults (with 2 on sofa sleeper in living room). The condo is stocked with so many extras. It’s been our best experience by far in all condos we’ve rented for our vacations simply because so many kitchen items were there. Foil, ziplock baggies, Saran Wrap, tons of Tupperware for beach picnics, portable coolers, beach towels, bikes, games, after sun products, snorkel gear, kids toys, scooters, boogie boards, and more! Have so many little things there that we would otherwise have to buy was genius. Kitchen cabinets are not cleared out. Oils, seasonings, etc are there. The host was awesome and very attentive to all communication. We had an amazing time with no complaints.

We've stayed in Hali Kai before and this 3 bedroom unit did not disappoint. Saying this condo is fully stocked is an understatement. Truly everything we needed was there, even the little touches like flashlights in every drawer in the bedrooms. Also Doug was very responsive when we did need to reach out, even though it was in the middle of the Super Bowl. 😏 Great hosts, and we would stay again without hesitation.

Seamless from booking to being there. Well equipped condo. Love that you left condiments, etc in the refrigerator. I also booked a second condo and it is evident that the cleaning crew takes the 'left overs' or they toss them. This unit was so well stocked and it was very much appreciated.

Very nice condo in a superb resort. Cleaning service could be improve as we had to clean a little upon arrival. Other than that I only have good things to say. Splendid sunset from the lanaï and the pool by the ocean is perfect and not too crowded when we were there.

We are extremely satisfied with our stay at this property. The host always responded fast, provided excellent instructions upfront, checkin process was super simple and smooth and the property was fully equipped with pretty much everything we could think of! Everything worked well. Home smelled fresh, beds were comfortable, sheets were clean. The property is downstairs so it was perfect for our elderly mom who has some disability. The lanai has some of the most beautiful unobstructed views- phenomenal sunsets. Large open space and no neighbor windows peaking in, only some wild Hawaiian birds (including the amazing Nene geese, an endangered species) were visiting us. And the breeze! We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo Doug!

We came to Hawaii to enjoy a family vacation. With our kids graduating from high school and college and one still in college, we wanted to actually get to spend time with them and this was the perfect setting. As beautiful as the pictures of the condo are online, it's even more beautiful in person. The decor is vibrant and welcoming. The furniture is extremely comfortable and that includes the beds. We spent time on the lanai every single day. Being on the lower level, it provided shade and there was often a nice breeze. The sunsets were spectacular. We took advantage of the beach equipment and used the towels and beach chairs almost every day. We did snorkel one day and got to swim with the turtles. That was one of my daughter's favorite experiences. Everything we needed for the vacation was right there in the condo. The place truly was paradise. Like I said, absolute perfection!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay here. This property had everything thing we could possibly need. All we had to do was just show up and go food shopping. Check in was a breeze.

We came to Hawaii to celebrate my Mom's 80th birthday and could not have had a more beautiful condo or location to do so. The location on the golf course was lovely and we spent quite a few evenings and mornings enjoying the view on the lanai. The condo itself is gorgeous and well appointed. It comfortably slept 6 - my Mom, my husband and myself, and my three adult children. It equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. Sports equipment and beach gear was available for our use as well. We appreciated the beach chairs and umbrellas for outings to the nearby beaches.
We used the tennis court, the pool, the gym and ate at the restaurant within the complex. They were all a convenient walking distance from the condo.
Douglas was very prompt in responding to questions and provided clear and thorough instuctions in advance for checking into the condo.
We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend this unit for families or groups.

My family loved everything about this condo! It was clean, in excellent condition and a great location. The layout is perfect for a family with young kids, since the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are separate of the main living space. We loved the quietness of the community, but the accessibility to beaches, shopping, hiking and the airport. We'll be back!
10.0
The condo worked very well for our family with the bed set ups and floor plan, great views and location within the resort, very well stocked kitchen, all the beach extras, bikes and then some. The beach chairs are in the garage so the majority of the sand stays out there. The view from the lanai was gorgeous and the nice lawn area to play games on was an added bonus. The check in was a very easy process and Doug was very responsive and helpful when we needed a new propane tank for the grill. It was great having a grill right on the lanai. The pool overlooks the ocean and the poolside restaurant had delicious food with staff that were very friendly. The resort grounds were very tropical with gorgeous flowers and the grounds were well maintained. This was a great home base for our trip to the Big Island!

We could not have been more pleased with our stay! The sunset view from the lanai is priceless. The condo was fully stocked with everything you could need and more to make the most of everything the Big Island has to offer. Doug was extremely responsive and informative about our stay. We will definitely choose this property again for future visits.

You literally just need to show up! The condo is fully stocked with everything for cooking! The beds were super comfortable, towels were clean, lots of spices and condiments which was helpful!

Thank you Doug!!

The photos don’t do this place justice - the pool and gym overlook the ocean and have the restaurant has poolside service, making for a very luxurious vacation. The rental itself was immaculate, well decorated, and very comfortable for our 2 families of 7 people.

Can't say enough about this unit.Having been a rental property owner Doug has everything you need for a vacation in Hawaii.There was not a time where I needed a kitchen gaget or cooler or beach toy and it was there.The unit is clean well decorated and probably the best unit view wise and location from amenities.Both small shopping centers are within walking distance or short bike ride .The Waikoloa Hilton is right across the fairway Our family had a great time .You will not be disappointed.

Really beautiful condo with plenty of space. Really well stocked with kitchen essentials as well as toys etc for the beach. the garage has everything you need- boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear (somewhat random assortment but it worked for us!). The pool is really good for little kids and is about a 5 minute walk. Only bummer we didn't realize is there is no beach access from this resort. And only one restaurant within easy walking distance. (but the restaurant was yummy and not too expensive!)

Our stay here absolutely exceeded our expectations! This unit at Hali'i Kai is a perfect mix of tropical vacation & home-away-from-home. The very large living space accommodated our family & 4 year old, in addition to our in-laws. Kitchen was stocked with every utensil & apparatus you could want for a short or long stay. The interior was spotless and we felt it was well-cleaned prior to our arrival. I can't say enough about the conveniences: in-unit washer and dryer, garage full of beach gear for kids, snorkeling, picnic, etc. One thing I really loved was that it was ground floor corner unit that opened up to a huge protected lawn - my daughter spent time throwing the frisbee with her papa and running her hearts delight. The unit faced the lawn so I could see them from the kitchen island, with the ocean on the horizon. Hali'i Kai also neighbors the golf course and Hilton - I had a medical conference to attend, and it was an easy 15-20 min stroll to the hotel. Proximity to local conveniences and restaurants is 3-5 min drive. Staying here was worth every penny, and Doug is an amazing host. Communication with him was a breeze and we will definitely be returning and recommending to all of our friends!

Property is just as it seems in all the pictures! Really great location and discovered we had bikes in the garage that I missed on the first couple days! Fun addition!One thing that I hate buying on a short trip are all the simple stocked kitchen items like ketchup, mustard and olive oil etc. This condo has it all! I appreciate the owner not having the cleaning crew do a clean sweep of every nook and cranny when it comes to the basics left behind! Special shout out to the heavy pour you get at happy hour from 2 to 5! Those Mai Tais at the pool bar/restaurant really pack a punch! Cathy is busting her hump day in and day out and always has a smile on her face!
