Watching whales from the back porch was unbelievable. Thanks for a wonderful stay. Can't wait to come back!

We stayed here with our family of 4 over Christmas and had the most relaxing time! The condo is spacious, modern and has everything you need to enjoy the island - binoculars, snorkels, towels, pickleball equipment, golf gear, sunscreen and bug spray! The view from the lanai was perfect, sunsets were beautiful and the whale watching was on point! The gated community was clean and quiet with everything you need within walking distance. We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend it 100% to anyone. The hosts were quick to respond and gracious with our requests.

This was a fantastic place to stay. As soon as we came through the gates we saw a beautiful resort setting. The landscaping was beautiful. The condo unit was awesome! So many upgraded features- the appliances, furniture, decor. Being a first floor unit was very nice. We loved sitting on the lanai enjoying the view of the lava rocks and ocean. Loved seeing the waves crash up. Our kids enjoyed playing out on the grass as well. The pool and workout facility was also fantastic. Highly recommend staying here!

Terrific unit. We rented two units in front building. This was best if two. Clean, well furnished, all the supplies you neeed. First floor unit may be attractive to those looking to avoid stairs. Door to lanai is terrific. New ceiling fans. Great hosts.

Truly outstanding in every respect - the view, the privacy, the gourmet kitchen, the pool & bar, the gym, the beaches... Doug & Vicki's condo is absolutely lovely, with comfortable beds and linens, excellent shower, high-end appliances, reserved parking spot, and a perfect lanai looking out at the ocean.

Clean, well-appointed condo in the best location in Waikoloa Beach.

From the moment we drove through the gates, we knew we had chosen wisely! The grounds are so well maintained that my husband said he felt like we were driving through a painting! The location is PERFECT. Only a few steps from the pool where we enjoyed amazing service and food at the outdoor restaurant. The unit itself is well appointed with very comfy bedding. The master bath is nice and roomy. We cooked a couple of nights and found the kitchen very well equipped. One night, we even cooked steaks on the grill by the pool. The view to the ocean is simply PERFECT. We enjoyed it with coffee each morning on the Lani and evenings for the stunning sunsets. Our upstairs neighbor even saw Spinner dolphins in the early morning hours (sad we didn't see those, but understand they are a frequent occurrence). Other reviewers have detailed all the great toys and equipment which we certainly took advantage of. The chairs and umbrellas came in very handy at the local beaches we hiked to. Probably our only slightly negative comment is that the unit is really designed best for 2 to 4 people. Not sure I would want to put more in it for an extended period of time. Otherwise, we HIGHLY recommend you consider this property if you are staying in the area. Your private covered parking spot just outside your ground floor unit makes enjoying the island a breeze. The owners were AMAZING! Very quick to communicate and even mailed me back a pair of shorts accidentally left behind!

Great condo and location so nice watching the sunset every night from the Lani. The condo is beautiful with everything you would need with high end amenities. The hosts were also great to deal with….Only draw back was the pool at the complex owned by someone else they has very strict rules no outside food or drink, not even a water bottle. And no flotation for adults not even a small noodle. There is a bar and restaurant at the pool if you need water or food but a bit pricey. There is a nice workout area by the pool with high end equipment as well….overall a great stay!

I've stayed in my fair share of VRBO's, and this one is in the top two; probably #1 due to the comfort of the bed. Vicki was very responsive AND accommodating. The view is spectacular, the furnishings are high end, and the whole place is fully stocked. Read on for specifics... For outside fun there are plenty of: - boogie boards x5 - beach umbrellas x3 - a cooler x1 - Snorkel gear, fins, masks and snorkels x3? - tennis gear, pickleball equipment, putters for the green, and a basketball. - sunscreen, bug spray and after sun cooling lotion, (may be prior guest leftovers). Inside: - high end appliances (SubZero, Viking, etc) - The kitchen is fully stocked. Like 3 different types of wine glasses, Tupperware, seasonings, coffee/tea, pots and pans, and plenty of everything stocked. - There are extra bath towels. Sounds basic, right? But as a family of 4 that stayed in 3 different hotels on 2 of the HI islands this trip, we found that every one of those hotels only provided us with 3 towels. Total. - laundry detergent, stain stick and dryer sheets - first aid kit (moms everywhere appreciate this!) - the mattresses are SOOOO comfortable! Location: - watch for the pod of dolphins swimming by at 8:30 am (in mid-August) off the lanai - stars are incredible! - right next to the pool/restaurant Things I'd add: a cutting board and reusuable ice packs for the cooler. That's it! Stay here, you won't regret it! We will if we go back to the BI.

Enjoyed every minute. Easy to communicate with owners. Beautiful

The pictures don't do this place justice! The view is awesome, and my kids loved running around in the lovely lawn out back. The apartment is impeccably clean and comfortable with newer remodeling. It was so nice to have 2 full baths, ample closet space, and empty dressers to fill. My kids loved playing in the beautiful pool. The sunset and star-watching was excellent too. The ample beach equipment provided was a nice bonus.

This was our second visit to Hali'i Kai, and our first stay in this particular unit. Doug/Vicki were great hosts, and were very communicative during the whole process. Unit was better than advertised, and the views were incredible. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and hope to return in the future.

This property will not disappoint. We were on the run exploring the Island and every time we came back to the condo it was so nice, relaxing, comfortable and absolutely beautiful. We relaxed by the pool a few times which was wonderful as well. If we go back to the Big Island, I would not stay anywhere else.

Very relaxing nh

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It doesn’t get any better than this unit. Best view, so close to the clubhouse and walking trail, it’s own covered parking spot that even fits a large suv, stocked with all the equipment needed for a day at the beach and all the amenities you would have in your own home. Hali’i Kai grounds are beautiful and so quiet. You saw workers everyday keeping the property looking gorgeous, landscaping, window cleaning, paint touch ups. The bed was the most comfortable we’ve had on a vacation. Going to miss our daily breakfast and sunsets out on the lanai. Usually by the end of our vacation we are ready to get back to the comfort of home. This place had us all not wanting to leave. We are already trying to figure out when we will be back. Thanks for sharing this piece of heaven with us!

The property was great and was presented just as advertised in the photos. Great ocean views and sunsets from the lanai. We had a great time and would definitely stay again. Doug and Vicki were a pleasure to work with, very responsive and easy to communicate with. One of the best properties we’ve stayed at.

We loved our stay! The condo is lovely. It's very warm and inviting, with beautiful, local artwork in a variety of media. The appliances and furnishings are top-of-the-line. The beds are very comfortable and furnished with lovely linens. The view is other-worldly in its beauty. (I could not stop taking photos.) The owners clearly thought of everything in preparing their property for guests. We travel to the islands every year, and we've had the good fortune to stay in many lovely places. This condo really stood out, though. The resort amenities are wonderful. The pool/restaurant area is very close, and the food and staff are wonderful. We've had the good fortune to stay locally at the Fairmont Orchid, but we prefer the pool and poolside restaurant at Hali'i Kai. The service, for one, is much better at Hali'i Kai. Kathy (amongst other staff members) made us feel very much at home. And the pool area wasn't crowded, which was a big plus. We had a great time and are grateful for the experience!

Excellent communication, breathtaking views, just as advertised! Exceeded our expectation, we have already made our reservation to return. Mahalo, Doug and Vicki, for allowing us to enjoy your piece of paradise!

This was our third trip to Big Island, and have visited others. This was the best value and nicest place we've stayed in on any Island trip. Everything was clean and well organized in the unit. The lanai and views are really amazing. Amazing sunsets every night. There were people around, but it was mostly very quiet both in the unit and on the lanai. The location is convenient to local attractions. We mostly visited Hapuna and Kauna'oa beaches to the north, but took advantage of shops, etc. in Waikoloa. It's nice that the pool and restaurant are close, though the pool is kind of small/shallow. We didn't swim there. We tried to grab dessert at the restaurant a few nights but they closed pretty early and the closing time wasn't consistent. That said, on the time we did make it the food was good and the service was nice, and we didn't fault the early closing. The trail out front (enter near pool entrance) provides a route to walk to the Hilton in one direction and 49 black sand beach in the other way. Each are about 15/20 minutes walk. Very scenic, but rough loose lava rock. We'd definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it. Great for a family of three or two couples.

I can’t say enough good things about our hosts and their lovely home. The view was breathtaking and we felt so comfortable. The beds themselves were heavenly. Looking forward to our next stay.

Hali’i Kai is our favorite place to stay on the Big Island, and it doesn’t get any better than this unit. It is beautifully situated right on the ocean. We watched humpback whales breaching and took in the sun sets from the lanai. It is conveniently adjacent to to the pools as well. Our family had a wonderful stay and we can’t wait to return again next year.

Everything about this property is perfect for us! The location, the environment, the shopping, condo amenities, and the view! The owners are wonderful to work with, and this has become our favorite spot on the island. Looking forward to next year!

Fabulous location and great property

We've been coming to the area for 10+ years but this was our first time to Hale'iKai - LOCATION is fantastic! Pool area staff and restaurant staff is FIRST NOTCH! - we will be back again next year for a month - Just after Thanksgiving for the next 3 weeks to was so chill then of course the Holidays approach - it was simply fantastic!

Gorgeous ocean front views from high end condo in building right next to Ocean Club for pool, work out or a meal at the restaurant. Convenient to nearby beaches, shops or golf. We are missing our morning coffee on the lovely outside patio!

This wonderful condo was amazing for my wife and another couple who stayed with us. Everything in the condo was clean and worked great. The views from the Lanai are top notch and the sunsets are great. The Ocean side pool and restaurant just steps away make this community one of a kind. We will definitely be back!

It was a wonderful stay at this property. Exceptional views. Communicating with both Doug and Vicki was easy. They were very helpful.

our condo was perfect! one of the top couple of views in the entire complex. kitchen was well equipped and the pantry was well stocked. the owners took all of the worries out of spending a week in their condo. we highly recommend it to anyone considering spending time on the big island. we were plenty close to a wide variety of restaurants and shops.

Renting this property was easy! The owners were very attentive. There is a day resort fee that we were surprised by but other than that it was perfect!

We came to celebrate our 30th anniversary, had the most amazing time! The condo has everything we could possibly need & want! My favorite part has to been the nightly sunsets just perfect! Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!!

This is our second time at Halii Kai, we really like this condo location. It's gated, it has an amazing ocean front pool and restaurant which is very convenient. This condo was great! Clean, and offered beach towels and some beach gear. The beds werent comfortable for us, we like firmer, these you sort of sink into, but I realize a bed preference can be a hard match. There was only 2 of us but this was a great Floorplan for 2 couples offering privacy from eachother. They gave us a card and welcome gift for our anniversary trip which was a nice gesture:)

Condo is in very nice condition. It is everything you expect for the price. Amazing views and overall grounds are immaculate. Only minor complaint is the community pool and workout room closes at 8pm and they were crazy strict about bringing in outside beverages, water, coffee, anything.
