About this villa rental
Aloha, e komo mai (welcome)!! Come experience our luxurious villa at the prestigious Hali’i Kai oceanfront gated community conveniently located on the sunny Kohala Coast on the Big Island’s Waikoloa Resort where we average 7” of rain a year (the driest in the state). Boasting 2 18-hole championship world-class golf courses and shopping, our hale (home) offers an opportunity to experience a true unmatched island retreat. Note:…you may quickly feel the affects or our ‘Polynesian paralysis’ before long.
AMENITIES: One of Hali'i Kai’s famous features is it's private ocean front club with a magnificent multi level free form pool with aqua loungers, waterfalls, sand bottom lava spa hot tub and attached Keiki pool. Adjacent is a café restaurant and fitness area with unobstructed views overlooking the blue Pacific. Adorned with balmy island breezes at oceans edge, our oceanfront club features spectacular views, BBQS available to enjoy with family and friends, an outdoor garden covered lounge area, luxurious bathroom facility, poolside cabanas, with a relaxing atmosphere. All year round, glorious sunsets are the norm and during our winter months, take pleasure in lots of whale watching and view of the incredible surf.
VILLA: Conveniently situated in the center of Hali’I Kai, less than 400 yards from the ocean, our villa is luxuriously furnished and decorated reflecting the understated Hawaiian elegance found amongst top notched world-class resorts and hotels. As original kama`aina (local) owners, we are fortunate to have this fabulous Villa that Centex (the developer) built with such style and elegance. Our lanai is the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or perhaps an ocean view sunset dinner while grilling on our new Weber grill complete with cooking utensils. Sunbathing or simply watching golfers on the adjacent lawn area on this ground floor unit without stairs makes for easy access. The Villa is primarily decorated and appointed with distinctive designer furnishings featuring Hawaiian elegance with a hint of an Asian flair. The Master bedroom has a Cal king bed (from which an ocean view may be enjoyed:), large private master bath with granite counter tops with dual sinks, large walk in shower with bench and a separate deep soaking tub. The guest bedroom has 2 xl twins (which can be converted to a full Cal King at your request), and the other guestroom features a queen size bed, detailed accents with views of the gorgeous Mauna Kea and Kohala Mountains with beautiful morning sunrises. The guest bathroom is complete with tub/shower, granite counter tops and sink. The attention to detail won’t be missed. The relaxing living area has a couch, chairs and ottoman, wall mounted LCD panel, blueray player, premium cable with HBO. Adjacent is an elegant dining area with seating for 6+ with a chandelier. The upgraded kitchen is complete and fully stocked with everything from an espresso maker with enough cooking utensils and gadgets to make a full scrumptious Thanksgiving meal. Equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops & bar stools, you’ll want for nothing. Our hale has a laundry room with washer/dryer and laundry supplies. We have complimentary High-speed wireless Internet, telephone for complimentary long distant calls to all Hawaiian Island, Canada, Mexico and all of USA. We have 2 bikes, beach chairs, boogie boards, basketball, tennis racquets (courts are across the street).
RESORT: The Waikoloa Beach Resort has upscale shopping, gorgeous black, green & white sand beaches (ask us we'll tell you some well kept secrets), petroglyph sites (rock etchings used as the ancient form of Hawaiian communication), 2 golf courses. Our favorite restaurant is located in the Queens shops right on the resort, Sansei’s & Roys. One of our Island favorites is Pueo's located in Waikoloa Village. As our guest on the resort, you are entitled to special green fees at the Beach golf course and the Kings golf course.

Hai’I Kai was an excellent place to stay. The gated community was safe, quiet, and a short walk from the resorts next door. There are two grocery stores nearby Foodland and Island Country Market. 30 minutes from the airport, 45 to Kona, and 90 minutes to Hilo. The garage was well stocked with bikes, beach chairs, basketballs, golf clubs, water shoes, snorkels,masks, and flippers. I would definitely stay here again if we ever return to the Big Island.🌴🌋🌺

Myself, daughter, son, daughter-in-law, and one-year old granddaughter spent (6) amazing days at this lovely Waikoloa property. Beautiful unit with incredible amenities, and exceptional Beach Club. Quiet and breathtaking ocean views - we loved the location and space of this special property. An exceptional home to enjoy while exploring the Special Big Island, and especially the Kona Coast. Owner was responsive and helpful - Check in was easy. If you’re looking for a beautiful home in a wonderful community - this is your spot!

Great location. Clean. The club/pool is a wonderful perk! Host was responsive and friendly. Only nick-picks: wifi is just ok and the in-house folder with all the details was missing things like check-out info. But that's what your app is for!

We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!
Laurie has an amazing set up for the whole family. Everything you could need for beach going and biking. We loved relaxing at the ocean club pool and restaurant. Salt water pool was gentle for baby and a great temperature. The restaurant menu had good variety and the employees were very friendly! The ocean club had incredible whale watching. Floor level unit was great for my mom and 7 month old. Community was gated and felt very private. Short distance from wonderful beaches, golf courses and grocery stores. We enjoyed going to Island Vintage Coffee for Açaí bowls and morning caffeine!

We had a wonderful and easy stay - the unit is clean and spacious, the resort property has great amenities (nice pool, hot tub, tennis/pickle ball courts), and is very conveniently located to shops and an array of beaches. It served as a great home base to do activities both to the north and south of Waikoloa. The host was terrific, too.

We loved the condo. Perfect size for our family of 5. The proximity to Hapuna Beach, shops and restaurants was ideal. The resort property was well manicured, the pool was awesome and not too busy - always a few lounge chairs available.
10.0
From our communication with the owner to our nightly sunset viewings from the lanai, everything was absolutely perfect! We have never stayed in such a well-“stocked” VRBO! Absolutely everything you need for daily beach trips, everything you need to prepare meals in (if you aren’t being spoiled at the restaurant on site by our favorites, Kathy and Daniel), and everything you need for a very comfortable stay in paradise!
10.0
An amazing sunset seen from the lanai welcomed us to the Big Island after our long journey, and every night after that. Prime viewing for endless sunsets. Laurie Jo and Paul were so welcoming, and very easy to communicate with. Any questions were promptly answered. This was the perfect space for our family of 5. I loved that it was a first floor walk out. The cross breeze with the screened front door is wonderful. It was very clean and comfortable. Laurie Jo made sure we were equipped with beach towels and plenty of necessities. I highly recommend this property and hope we can return someday. Very sad to leave 😢Mahalo Laurie Jo & Paul

Great place for home base to explore the big island. It was so helpful to have access to the gear that we would otherwise have to rent. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen. There was nothing else we could have needed!

Great place! Super clean, AC works great, close to pool, great patio for BBQ and sitting out morning and night. Laurie Jo is a great host - I asked a question and she called me right away. Super helpful. Our only regret is that we did not have enough time here.

We had a great time during our stay in Waikoloa. The on-site pool was kid friendly and easy to get to from our unit. There are 2 Peloton bikes in the gym area that we took advantage of during our stay. Would definitely stay again if we make it back to the Big Island.

We absolutely fall in love with this community, the property is at a perfect location. Mini-golf and tennis court right across the street. Laurie is an excellent host, communicated with us through out the months prior to our trip and answered so many questions about the area. We had a great stay at this house!

The property manager was very responsive and the place is stocked with all the essentials. It’s a nice unit, beds are very comfy and the view from the patio is awesome. We enjoyed the recreational items for a beach trip- which is where we spent most of our time. We also really love the on-site pool restaurant, food is great.
Not a reflection of this unit’s property manager but it is worth noting that the pool/HOA does have strict rules around kids playing at the pool (no yelling, one pool toy, hot tub restrictions) good for adults who want to relax by the pool. If you have kids keep this in mind, we chose to go to the beach so our kiddo could play freely.

This is our favorite property at Hali'i Kai at Waikoloa! Ground floor, three bedroom, with separate beds for our kids. They give you access to their garage, which is loaded with toys, bikes, and golf clubs. Couldn't have been a better trip! Thanks Laurie Jo and Paul!
10.0
This was a great condo, full of comfort and amenities but in the best location! You could see the ocean from the back lanai but also view golfers playing the Beach nine Waikoloa golf course. We had issues with the AC turning off, which requiring communication with Laurie Jo. A solution was found after a few days but it all worked out fine! (Keep all the windows/outside doors fully closed otherwise the system shuts off completely) There was wonderful cross winds that kept the condo cool. The magnetic screen door off the front was clutch to maintaining that great temp inside since it was 90 F almost every day! Laurie Jo was a great resource and very helpful. This was a wonderful vacation!
10.0
Beautiful home, well stocked, and in a great location. Pool was lovely and had amazing views. Ocean Grill restaurant and bar was really good. Keep in mind it is a small restaurant with a limited menu. We ate here multiple times. Sunsets were picture perfect every night. View from the lanai was beautiful. First floor corner unit with parking. Short walk or quick drive to the pool, gym, and ocean side restaurant. The host is very nice, very communicative, and provided terrific suggestions. We had a wonderful time! We would definitely return here again.
10.0
The condo was as good as advertised. Very comfortable and homey, with all the amenities we could ask for. The pool and Ocean Club sets Hali'i Kai apart from other communities we considered. The view was the real highlight though, with mornings and evenings spent enjoying the beautiful ocean and golf course view. And the owners were great, to deal with. When we had an issue with the front door, they did all they could to fix the issue as promptly as possible and even provided us lovely dinner at the Ocean Club to make up for the issue. This was so very thoughtful. We will definitely return to this awesome place.

Amazing stay, beautiful condo, gorgeous views!
Laurie Jo was a friendly and delightful host who was very communicative and provided great suggestions for our trip. Hali'i Kai is a gorgeous property and this unit has beautiful sunset/ocean/llava/golf course views. The kitchen was well-stocked, check-on/out easy, and there was plenty of space for our family of five. We loved the pool and beach club and Waikoloa is a perfect location with quick access to all kinds of activities. We would recommend Laurie Jo to any of our family and friends and would definitely stay here again.

Great location beautiful neighborhood
Our family of five spent four nights here. Lots of space. The lanai is a beautiful spot for morning coffee or sunset cocktails! The garage is full of things that are useful! Boogie boards, masks and fins, tennis and pickle ball equipment, a cooler, beach chairs, bicycles, basketballs and golf clubs etc. etc. Also we enjoyed having beach towels to use for our excursions. The location is great and convenient to shopping restaurants and excursions.
