Our property was easy to get into, had a ton of amenities for activities that would cost a fortune to rent or buy (snorkel gear/chairs/towels/coolers) that made the trip so much more fun. The kitchen was stocked and manager was super responsive and helpful on activities and off the tourist path ideas. The view from our lanai was beyond amazing. We can’t wait to come back.

We had a great time at this beautiful place. Absolutely loved the view from the lanai. A lot of bird friends outside.

This property is perfect. We were here 3 yrs ago with our then 15 yr old daughter while our son and his friends celebrated HS graduation in Oahu. This time she’s celebrating with her friends in Oahu and we took our 21yr old son to the Big Island. It was actually just an excuse to get back here and enjoy all the island and location can offer.
Great pool, easy access to beaches (short 5 min drive), shops restaurants, golf.
I’ve never stayed in the same VRBO twice, so that should say something.
Hope to get back again!

The condo had everything you need for a blissful week! The view from the lanai is the way to start and end every adventure-filled day on the island! My coffee overlooking the ocean, grassy area for yoga, completely stocked kitchen, and very pleasant decor. And of course the fabulous sunsets from the privacy of the lanai or at the club house with the conch shell blowing!
We’ll keep these memories near as we return to real life and hope to return in the future.

This is a lovely property with fantastic views and great facilities. The hosts are easy to work with and super knowledgeable about things to do on the Big Island. The unit itself is comfortable and very well equipped. Honestly, our expectations were high but they were exceeded! We highly recommend beautiful Hali’i Kai 15C!

Absolutely amazing!
This piece of paradise offered everything to us.
We have been to this area previously and continue to be amazed each time. We respect the land and the sea.
As we live in Canada during our winter months we feel very blessed to be able to visit this area.
Thank you so much to the hosts for sharing your special place.

Property was exactly as written in the description. All communication was clearly written, helpful and handled immediately. The Ocean Club restaurant had a delicious and inventive menu as well as incredible staff. The pool and deck area were clean and well maintained. I’d definitely recommend it and would absolutely be happy to return.

Great location with a view of the ocean. Furniture not the most comfortable. Beds were fine. The best part was all of the amenities-beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, cooler, boogie boards, etc.

We spent 3 relaxing days at this property and wish we had more time. Loved watching the sunset every evening from the lanai and every morning we saw a pod of spinner dolphins while eating breakfast.
Great location to beach hop and explore the entire island.

My two kids and I stayed here for three nights and had a truly wonderful time. The condo has everything you need to make meals and settle in. The lanai has stunning views of the ocean that we enjoyed every morning. The pool is a very short walk away - there you can have lunch and dinner and enjoy drinks. We even made the 30 minute walk to a beautiful beach where we swam and snorkels. A truly perfect, relaxing retreat!

We spent the first half of the vacation adventuring, and came here to relax. What a great spot! We enjoyed coffee on the patio, the fitness center, the pool is gorgeous, and everything we needed for some fun days on the various beaches was provided. Fully stocked kitchen and all the utilities necessary to end a perfect family vacation.
5.0 / 5.0
Excellent location and property. However, a couple of concerns here. The area rugs were hazardous. something needs to be done with them. multiple times people tripped on them and had to move them out of the way. TV remotes were hard to operate, very confusing. took a lock time to find the remotes to work the fan. found in a drawer in the guest bedroom. Even with these challenges, we very much enjoyed the stay. We love the Halii Kai resort.

Perfect unit, fully stocked (pack/play, beach gear, etc.), with a peaceful ocean view. Super close to the pool. The front grass was great for the kids as well. Jim was very responsive and had great advice for our stay, we look forward to coming back soon.

We loved our stay at this beautiful condo at Hali'i Kai in Waikoloa, including the peace and quiet, the view from the lanai, the proximity to the Kohala coast beaches (less than 20 min to Beach 69, Hapuna, A-Bay, etc), the gorgeous pool at the Ocean Club, and the very well-stocked kitchen. A particular highlight is the very accessible and helpful property manager, Jim. He answered all of our questions very promptly, provided great recommendations for local restaurants and Big Island sites, and quickly troubleshooted an issue that came up with the condo. We highly recommend this unit!

Pictures do not do this property justice
Unbelievable property. Western views allow you to see across the ocean to Maui on a clear day and provide prime sunset viewing every evening. Impeccably clean and spacious. Has everything you could need and more. The local treats provided by the host a a great special touch. Pool/spa/beach club just a 2 minute walk and all kept in beautiful condition. Could not recommend this property enough.

Oceanfront perfection
We've stayed in this community twice, but this is by far our favorite unit. It was extremely big for our family of 3 and the ocean front view and lanai and "lawn" were perfect for our 2 year old son to run around on (safely too!). The condo was fully stocked with everything we could need, including snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, toys, etc. Communication with the owner and property manager was amazing. They both went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible stay, including providing an early check-in by prioritizing our unit.
DO NOT HESITATE to book this property! You will not regret it!!

Fantastic condo!
We’ve always liked coming to the Big Island and staying in Waikoloa, but this was the first time we stayed at Hali’i Kai. This is a wonderful clean, comfortable, quiet, well stocked, and convenient place to stay in Waikoloa, with a fantastic view of the ocean right from unit 15C.
Jim, the manager, called a week earlier asking if we needed anything while we were there to give him a call and we were provided with easy directions to get in to the unit. Our stay here this week was so relaxing and wonderful. We really enjoyed it. Thanks!

Great place to stay
Lanai is lovely to enjoy your morning coffee and evening sunsets. The grill is nice added touch if you want to stay in and prepare dinner.
Club house pool was very nice. Unit has lots of beach items to make your trips to the beach enjoyable. Jim the property manager touched base to see if he could be of any assistance with our stay on the big island.

Oceanfront Oasis!
Property just as advertised (better in fact) and is the perfect location for exploring all the Island of Hawai'i has to offer - we did seven beaches plus a coffee farm tour, various hikes, and still found plenty of time to enjoy the lana'i and the AMAZING pool and restaurant on site. The grounds of the property are incredible - I loved how you drive over this incredible and beautiful barren, volcanic landscape coming from the airport (reminding me of what I might imagine Mars looks like!) only to land at this oasis. Wonderful place, wonderful island. Highly recommend. Mahalo!

A Perfect Stay in Paradise
I could not recommend this unit enough. It was clean and had everything we needed. Plus, the location! It is located right in front of the water with a great view (totally safe for kids though b/c of the lava rock in between us and the ocean). There is a big grassy area in front for playing, reading, and kid-friend-making with your neighbors. There is a path you can catch in front on the lava rock that is a trail to the black sand beach. Lastly, the onsite club restaurant was delicious and our kids loved playing in the pool while we ate. It's a great location, you can walk to the Hilton if you wanted or the Kings/Queens shops, and I recommend booking water activities out of Puako bay which was just a short drive. We avoided Kona all together and loved this chill relaxing vibe. Highly recommend.

Perfect in every way!!
Beautiful property! Awesome 2 bedroom unit! Nicely equipped with all the essentials and a very thoughtful gift basket! Comfortable beds! Lanai is a perfect place for morning coffee and late day happy hour! Whale watching from the lanai was amazing and the view breath taking! The pool is beautiful and the surroundings perfect! The club restaurant has very good food and the wait staff is very attentive and kind. Tiffany is a real asset to the club! This property is located right where you want to be! Easy access to the beach walk made for long morning strolls. We would highly reccommend this property!

Great place to stay
We found this property to be very nice. It was well stocked, nicely decorated. Evidently renovated very recently. Good mattresses. Do need a light blanket. Very quiet unit. We did not hear anything including the other bedroom in the unit. Great lanai with whales!!! The complex pool (Ocean club) was a little too crowded for us but the exercise room was good. For the price this was a great buy ( compared to similar priced Maui condos that were dumpy, worn and dirty.) we would stay here and recommend to others. All the beach stuff was great!!!! Good coffee maker. (Garbage disposal switch is under the sink In case you wonder.) local Property manager called first thing and is an excellent concierge.
With every VRBO there are always a few things that disappoint. The unit lhad none.
