Hali'i Kai is a magical place to be!
We are located in Waikoloa on Kohala's Gold Coast, so named because our 350 annual days of sunshine is the most in Hawai'i. Hali'i Kai is the ideal place for you to come home to as you explore the rest of this magical island.

The Place was great and well furnished. It worked perfect for our family. Easy 20 min walk to grocery store and lots of restaurants. Complex amenities were very nice as well.

Great place! Loved the accommodations, bar and pool. We were unaware of the additional service fee per day until we checked in. Would have loved to have some Kcups available for coffee in the morning.

The hostess took a while to get back to me when we first arrived. No one had cleaned the place, which was just a miscommunication on when we were arriving, I guess. She sent a young woman over to clean. She didn't arrive until after 6 pm and then was there to almost 9. She left leaving all the towels in the dryer, which was ok, I told her I'd get them folded. It was just very frustrating to arrive with it like that. But I understand. Mistakes happen. But the condo has no view of the ocean, which we were understanding it did. It is probably at least a mile from the ocean. It was backed up to the golf course and that was fun. We got to go out on the green and hit some balls during the hurricane, that was not much of a hurricane. The beds were fairly comfortable, the pillows need to be replaced and the couch and chair were very uncomfortable. I have my own short term rentals and I get stupid complaints about things much less than this. But I think the sitting area of your house should be useable and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with necessary items. The host was very apologetic about the misunderstanding and even sent supplies that were missing in the house, toilet paper, paper towels and she even treated us to coconut water. Cost to value was too much for this property, in my opinion.

On the 2nd floor, beautiful property.
We wanted to a little getaway, and what perfect timing with the 3 day weekend.

This place was perfect: great location, well maintained, spacious, clean. Excellent communication support from owners. We loved it and wold definitely stay there again on our next trip.

We had a wonderful time during our stay. We initially had some trouble with a late check in due to cleaning but this was quickly taken care of and remedied by the owners. The condo was incredibly well-equipped with things to play with and for cooking, etc. The communication with the owners when we had issues was easy and they were readily available, which really helped us out even after our stay when we realized we had left an item in the condo and they got it shipped back to us.
We had an amazing time and really appreciate the efforts the owners made to ensure that our stay was comfortable. Hopefully the initial trouble with cleaning and late check in will not be an issue in the future.

We spent a week in the condo with another couple. The condo is nicely located at the end of the development from the ocean and pool, with an easy, short walk to the pool and restaurant. Sitting out on the corner patio for morning coffee and afternoon drinks was delightful. The condo itself is well-laid out; the master bedroom is at the back overlooking bushes and golf course; the other bedroom & bathroom are in the front, but there was no street noise. Both were very comfortable. We used the boogie boards and sun umbrella, which was great. There were some kitchen items missing that were listed on the website -- Viren responded immediately to replace/help us find them. He was friendly and easy to communicate with, and everything worked out well. All in all, it was a great stay and we enjoyed our time there. We hope to be back someday!

i stayed here for one night - Saturday. I booked the property the prior Tuesday and received confirmation. I never received the check in details and could not get through to host. I had to use VRBO guest services to get the information after a very long day. While the host was nice and apologetic , he spent most of the time explaining what happened. ie. we booked for only one night. we booked 5 days before the stay vs just admitting he made a mistake.
