From the first moment we walked through the door, I knew we chose the perfect property for our Big Island vacation. The unit was clean, well appointed and decorated, had everything we needed and more! The welcome goodies of cookies and water were very sweet. The third floor lanai off the primary bedroom was a real treat. We enjoyed morning coffee most days out there. In the laundry room there was plenty of beach chairs, toys, coolers, linens, etc., to use.The grounds were well maintained, and the food and drinks at the private beach club were amazing (don't skip the Mai Tai)! The staff in the restaurant were so kind, and one employee even walked around the pool with a pitcher of iced water for everyone poolside. The pool was very versatile with a shallow 1 ½' area for the littles and waders, a deeper 4' for full submersion, as well as a lovely little waterfall. It's tough to beat the setting, and sunsets are phenomenal. Don't forget to check the calendar for live music nights at the beach club.Location was spectacular. Close to other restaurants, shopping, golfing, beaches, walking paths, etc. Check-in and communication with the rental agency was as easy as could be. And we can't wait to go back!

We loved our stay at the Hali'i Kai townhouse. The house is very comfortable and the resort location was beautiful & relaxing. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and more. The location was perfect for getting to everything we wanted to do on the Kona side of the island - golf, beaches, restaurants, small towns, etc. The Ocean Club was a fun place to go after a round of golf, the day's activities or to just enjoy the sunset. Communication with the managers was easy and timely. Would love to come back the next time we're on the big island.

The oceanfront view was breathtaking. The Hali’i Kai community is immaculately maintained. The staff at the pool were great!

This property never disappoints. Everything you need to enjoy your vacation is available and there is no better place to watch the sun set. Doug and Vicki are exceptional hosts. They responded quickly to our questions and helped make this one of our best visits ever. Thank you Doug and Vicki.

This was one of the best VRBO’s we have stayed at. The unit is well equipped; even with beach towels and toys, very clean and the host has been very accommodating. The view is spectacular, especially from the swimming pool. The food and drinks at the pool was consistently good as well as the kind staff! Highly recommended!

Love the condo and the complex. The pool is lovely, the poolside restaurant has great food with wonderful views, and there is a trail that hugs the coast for a daily walk.

We loved our stay! The kitchen was well equipped with the dishes and cooking supplies. The extra touches like sharp knives, quality spices, oil, tin foil, tupperware, allowed us to cook just like we were in our own home. THANK YOU!

Agree with others about the fabulous views from a very comfortable and quiet home away from home. We're already booked for next year - that says it all! Kathy and the Vacation Resort staff responded quickly to our few questions, and even replaced the master closet lightbulb on a Sunday.There are puzzles, games and books under the TV. It rained a lot the first week we were there, so it was nice to have inside/lanai entertainment too.There are no umbrellas around the pool area for shade. But the Ocean Club has covered seating if you are getting a drink or something to eat. On weekends when the Ocean Club has late afternoon music, you can sit on your lanai and enjoy the subtle background music along with dinner and the sunset.The kitchen is well stocked for cooking, along with spices and condiments. There is both a regular drip and Keurig coffeemaker. If you have major grocery shopping, take the time to go to the Safeway in Kona, it is MUCH more affordable than Waikoloa or Waimea food stores. Safeway gas is also at least 60 cents cheaper than anywhere else (except Costco) with no long lines.We travel a lot during the year, and stay in many rentals. This is by far our favorite location and condo. Thank you for sharing it!

One of the most well stocked places we have ever stayed at. From beach equipment and snorkeling gear to meat thermometers this place has it all. Really nice kitchen with all the bells and whistles. Great ocean front location with excellent sunset views. There is no surf access as the small lava field runs from the condos to the water but Abay beach is beautiful for swimming and checking out the turtles and it’s right down the street. The upstairs lanai is awesome with a great breeze and comfy outdoor furniture. Excellent for relaxing and watching the sunset. The pool is ok, very shallow and no outside drinks of any sort are allowed so be prepared for that. The pool is served by the on site restaurant and cocktails are 18. Until happy hour when a mai tai is 8. The property grounds were beautiful. This was worth the money and a great place to stay. Good communication with owner.

The location is perfect. Hali’i Kai has everything you want in a resort without the flash and drama of the other Waikoloa resorts. The condo is excellent. Fully stocked, quiet, excellent location within the resort. We had a fee questions, and the owners answered promptly. The two lanais were relaxing. We ate most meals on the main lanai and watched every sunset from there. We highly recommend the condo. One more thing, the bar is superb. Though we had stayed in Hali’i Kai before, we had never eaten at the bar/restaurant before. We did this time and were very surprised how good it is. Wonderful.

We have stayed at many locations an along the Kohala coast. Hali’i Kai 16B was an awesome location within walking distance to the Ocean Club. The food and happy hour at the club were the best surprise and the service was extremely attentive. The unit itself is wonderfully stocked and equipped with all the gear you will need for beach excursions. We very much appreciated all the attention to detail. Maureen, our host was very responsive as well. A definite 10 in our books

Even better than the pictures! Huge gorgeous home with ocean views and open living room. It’s in the perfect spot of the complex because it’s less busy but walkable to the pool. It really exceeded our expectations in every way, the live music at the pool club was a huge bonus and the sunsets are unbearable over a lava cliff. An absolute dream! Richard the owner and Jackie the helper are both gracious and communicative, truly the best of the best.

The condo is in a great location and the property grounds are beautiful. We traveled with my parents and our 8 & 10 year old and the condo was perfect for the six of us. The pool area is stunning, both the kids and adults loved it and we ended up spending more time there than planned just because it was so great. The condo is well stocked with dishes, cooking supplies, beach gear, and beach towels. We would stay there again and recommend to anyone looking.

Pool okay. Long walk from 6D. Pool/restaurant staff very friendly and fun. Person at complex office where you pay the resort fee very snippy. Host representative needs customer service classes. Condo needs a deep cleaning. Mold between tiles in master bathroom, dust build up on floor corners. Would not ever rent again if property rep is involved.

The stay was exactly what we needed for grandparents, parents and kids. We used the hammocks and bbqs frequently. There were other children around for my kids to play with (spring break timeframe) and plenty of outdoor space for them to run around. We also utilized the beach equipment and the Hilton pool pass was one of the most memorable things of the trip. Thanks for everything!!

The unit is excellent and hosts very responsive. We loved that they had coolers, beach chairs/umbrellas, boogie boards. The kids love the putting green.The only bummer was the ocean club. The staff was consistently rude, does not like kids, and the kitchen understaffed. They couldn’t make us fries and a flatbread because “the kitchen couldn’t handle it” - we didn’t even want a table at the restaurant/bar area. You cannot bring outside food/drinks in, so I am not sure how to enjoy the pool with kids if you can’t give them your own snacks or rely on the restaurant.We wanted to stay at a place near a beach with a pool, an loved the location - just wouldn’t recommend if you have kids and are expecting to hang by the pool.

My family of 4 had an amazing time visiting with this beautiful home. The home was clean with so many necessities that you can’t bring with you. The community is beautiful and quiet and we loved the view from the pool. We were visiting in mid March and we got to see whales two evenings we were out there. The restaurant is very good and they have a beautiful traditional sunset ceremony everyday, they even had a fire dancer one night. The pool is pretty shallow so no jumping in for the kids but it’s still dry nice. I can’t say enough about how lovely this home is. I hope to stay again in the near future.

Richard’s property was an ideal accommodation for our family of five. We enjoy a slow, leisurely pace when preparing meals, planning a hike, a visit to a beach or the Hali’i Kai pool and so many adventures that the Big Island provides. But we also love that we can recharge on the lanais with a breathtaking view of the ocean waves, palm trees in the breeze or another nap.Richard and Jackie were prompt with replies to questions. The whole experience at 16G is another wonderful experience that adds to our aloha spirit. Mahalo!

This was our second time staying in this unit and both times have been great. Hali’i Kai itself is a wonderful resort, we love the restaurant and pool and the staff are truly lovely. The proximity to the beach club is a huge bonus of this unit vs others in Hali’i Kai. Overall it was clean and well stocked. We find the living room to be a little uncomfortable, but the beds are nice. Our stay was much more expensive this year than last, so I wouldn’t necessarily say it was a great “value for the money” but we enjoyed our trip very much and were really comfortable staying in this property.

We absolutely loved the location and amenities here! The ocean front views are more spectacular than the pictures. It is just a 30 second walk to the beautiful oceanfront pool. The trail along the coast is 1/2 mile to 49 Black Sand beach one way and 1/4 mile to the Hilton property. We got a day pass and saw so much life snorkeling in the lagoon there, without having to deal with parking. The unit was the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed, well-equipped with everything we needed to cook all our meals and enjoy the view! Doug and Vicki were excellent hosts and were able to work with us on dates after a couple flight cancellations trying to get out there. Such wonderful hosts. We hope so much to visit and stay again!

Our stay at Hali'i Kai at Waikoloa was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we booked our stay Allyson was terrific to work with. She gave great, up to date information and made for a wonderful experience. The unit was very clean, well stocked with kitchen items, and had a very nice welcome gift waiting for us. The location of the unit is across the road from the pickleball/tennis courts that we were able to get a few games in at. Looking out the back door is a nice patio where we enjoyed morning coffee right on the beautiful golf course and a bit of a view of the ocean. The unit was very quite and we were never bothered by outside noise. An easy, quick walk to the pool and resort restaurant, which we enjoyed on multiple occasions during our stay. The water was perfect and the drinks/food from the restaurant were wonderful. We highly recommend this place and would be happy to stay again in the future!

Beautiful, perfect location with a perfect view! We loved sitting on the porch every morning and evening. Quiet and much less chaotic than the big resorts. But still had all of the amenities. The condo was spacious, clean, well stocked and simply perfect for my husband, son and my mom. Thank you!
