Hosts has pretty much thought of everything. Extra towels, all types of beach items, fully stocked kitchen. Location is close to Ocean Club and has a partial ocean view. Furniture and decor was perfect. Bikes were a plus.

This 2 bed/2 bath condo was a perfect size for 4 adults. Well appointed and very comfortable. Close to pool and restaurant/bar, which has an outstanding ocean view. The landscaping in this property is so beautiful. We so enjoy this place, and will be returning very soon.

This stay was our 6th in Hali'i Kai condo. The condo is in a great location across from the Ocean Club with a fantastic ocean view. We watched the sun set from the comfort of our lanai. Overall, the unit is comfortable and well equipped. We would stay again.

We were very pleased with the location, amenities and Condo! Loved hanging out by the pool to watch the sunset. Enjoyed live music on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Plenty of stores and restaurants near location. Property quiet and not crowded. Property owner responsive to questions. We highly recommend this condo.

I rented this condo for my in-laws for our multi family trip to hawaii staying in Halii Kai. This condo was located near the club house for east access. Condo was very clean and had everything you could need. We would rent here again!

Didn’t want to be in Kailua Kona (most condensed populated area of tourists). Was looking for a resort type feel with full kitchen. This property had that. The restaurant where the pool is located/clubhouse, had good food good drinks and nice atmosphere. Sunsets were great! The resorts were walking distance towards Queens Market so a nice dinner was easy to locate. The dolphins quest is brilliant and swimming with the mantas is close by as well. Make sure you check them out. Love this side of the island.
Had a great time will be back. Thank you

Maureen's vacation rental was fabulous the photos on the site don't do justice to the property it has everything and more than you need the pool is not really kid friendly but it's okay we just walked over to the Hilton and swam there about 5min walk away you will be to busy to be swimming anyway there is so much too do on the big island we loved it

My son and his new bride stayed at this VRBO for their honeymoon! They said their stay was incredible! From the impeccable cleanliness of the apartment, the good care of the property, the convenient location and amenities available all made it a 5 star stay!!! Highly recommended!

This unit was perfectly situated close to the pool, gym and restaurant. It has a nice view from the lanai. The unit was equipped with everything we needed for the beach!! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen:) and listening to music using the Bluetooth speaker in the condo. The washer/dryer was great as it allowed us to launder beach towels and personal items. The guest bonder provided excellent tips for beaches.

We really enjoyed our stay here. There are many convenances included such as beach gear and kitchen gear including a k-cup machine. Also a great pillow selection between the two rooms
The ceiling fans all worked great and are easy to use.
The location in Halii Kai is perfect and walk from car was only 30 ft or less.
It’s clean and well appointed. We will stay here again.
My only suggestion would be to add a stronger fan to the large bath. It steams up quite a bit in there

Great condo, great location, great host! The place had everything we needed (beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, etc.) and it's awesome to be so close to the pool. Restaurant and service at the pool is great!!

We had an amazing visit to The Big Island and staying here was perfect! The location and neighborhood is fantastic! Condo was clean and cozy, with a short walk to the pool and clubhouse. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

location was perfect-close to the pool, covered parking, in heart of resort area with seaside path available to walk to other resorts. Property was very clean and the pool excellent. Only opportunity seen was to get plastic spatulas (have stainless ones that ruin pans) and a regular toaster. Had a toaster oven which worked to make toast, but would have liked it better with one. Loved all the spices that were available and the shampoo, trash bags-these are all items that go beyond a normal VRBO and makes this place special. The swimming closet (beach closet full of supplies) is another example of a place that goes beyond.

Beautiful property in the perfect location to enjoy the island. We found gorgeous snorkeling beaches very close to us. The unit is well stocked and just across the street from the pool, restaurant and ocean. Couldn’t have asked for more! As a side note, we ate at the restaurant three times in our week stay because it was that good!

We had a LOVELY celebratory stay at 16-B. The condo was a great layout for our family, two twin beds in one bedroom and a king bed in the other. Two bathrooms also made getting ready and bedtime much smoother. My favorite spot was the Lanai. You can see the ocean and drink coffee and listen to the birds. We ate most of our meals out on the lanai. The condo neighborhood is quiet, well maintained, with pretty tropical landscaping. The ocean club was a very short walking distance from 16-b. Our kids really liked the pool. There was a hiking trail that led to a lagoon with turtles. Grocery stores were not far away. The parking spot was covered. We found what we needed for cooking and for playing at the beach. It was a great homebase for all of our adventures. We hope to return again.

We loved the property. The condo was just great in every way (clean, well stocked with dishes, soap, spices, towels, bikes, etc.). The one and only complaint was the bed sheets in master....they use plastic weaved sheets (top & bottom) I'm assuming so not to soil the mattress. I get that but why not just use a good protective mattress pad and give nice linens? We were both so uncomfortable as it felt like we were sleeping with wax paper sheets. We did not sleep well for 4-nights.

We had a wonderful time staying here. The owner was easy to communicate with and made sure all our needs were met. Easy walking distance to the ocean club. We had a wonderful time. There was everything we needed for our stay including what we would need or want for the beach. There was even a cooler. Looking forward to staying here again.

Our family truly loved this property. We’ve been to the Big Island three times and this was our first at Hali’i Kai … we would absolutely come back! The condo is even better than portrayed in the pictures. We also were so grateful for the on-site restaurant and spent a ton of time in the pool. The sunset is perfectly viewed by the pool as well. Maureen was amazing with her communication and the condo was well stocked and very comfortable. We can’t wait to return!

Enjoyed our stay here as a family of four. Condo had everything a family could want and well equipped (ie: baby stroller, high chair, crib, personal BBQ on the lanai). The BBQ on the lanai that was yours personally was a first for me to see, and it was great not having to walk far away or wait in line to BBQ or food.
Excellent place - would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home, with a great location within the Hali'i Kai property (very close to the pool🙂). The place was very comfortable, with everything we needed. It's a great location for a home base if you're planning some day trips. Highly recommend staying here. The owner was very responsive with concerns and questions. We will definitely stay here again.

Beach towels and chairs were much appreciated and used. I have recommended this property to friends and family. Actually had a family member already book it. Staff was amazing at the pool & restaurant. Will definitely go back to 16b. Thank you Maureen🌴😊🌴😊🌴

This condo is every bit as great as many other reviewers say. A hospitable escape from mainland chaos, this unit’s details invite rest from the wonderful master bed to all the kitchen items needed to transform a day at the farmer’s market into a gourmet feast to savor as you watch sunset from the lanai. The fully stocked beach closet will call you to the surf only to return to the tranquil surroundings of Hawaiian artwork, décor and a comfy couch. Impeccable cleaning and gracious, responsive owners and a detailed house notebook complete this 5 star stay. We have stayed in three different condos in Hali’i Kai and this is #1 by a long shot. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay at these accommodations. We visited with another couple and had the bedrooms each with a king bed.
The condo has beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and a cooler for lounging at the beach. There’s a boogie board too! We didn’t need the snorkel equipment, but saw them available in bags in the closet.
There were spices available in the kitchen and pots and pans for the cooking we did. We also bbq’d fish purchased at the local fish market on the patio grill.
There’s an Ocean Club within walking distance that has a lovely pool that looks over the ocean. There’s a restaurant and bar there. Ate there one evening and the food good.
You can access a trail that you can walk to the nearby Waikoloa Hilton to view the dolphins. We saw turtles in their lagoon too. And if you continue you can walk to A-Bay. Mauna Lani is in the other direction and a bit further.

First- I can't wait to come back and want to stay in this same condo. We could see the ocean from our lanai and enjoy coffee in the am. A very short walk to the clubhouse & pool to take in the best sunsets! The food was unexpectedly good at the clubhouse, staff was really nice. Pool and spa- great. The grounds are impeccably maintained. The condo itself super clean, stocked with all we needed while we visited. We cooked some while there and easily managed with the kitchen supplies. Tip: Island Market is very expensive. Take the few minutes to drive to Foodland Farms in Mauna Lani. We explored some of the island easily from our location: black beach, Hilo, Kohala ziplining was awesome. The walk along the ocean on the lava trail is worth the time. So much to do and as usual, not enough time. a hui hou kakou

This is an idyllic location on the Big Island. It is an immaculate condo close to the clubhouse with ocean views. Excellent setup for cooking fresh island seafood, brewing local Kona coffee, and blending island mango, passionfruit, banana, and papaya smoothies. The condo was well stocked with beach gear and tennis racquets. The clubhouse restaurant was outstanding and staff throughout Hali’i Kai were wonderful. Thanks Maureen for making this an amazing holiday with family.

Very, very well appointed property with a fantastic ground floor location. Bikes available, snorkels, (we left fins and a snorkel too), towels, water shoes, boogey board and toys. The condo is very comfortable for four with plenty of room to stretch out and see what others are doing too, if you use the patio. The pool can't be beat with a gorgeous view, little waterfall, wonderful loungers and a great little restaurant where you can order food and drinks. We did so often. Highly recommend.

Our family had a wonderful experience at this property. The host was extremely responsive to our pre-booking questions and remained that way throughout the process.
The unit is located a hundred yards from the club house which was a great place to eat and/or grab a cocktail. This came in especially handy during our trip as most local restaurants were fully booked.
The beach is beautiful to look at but you will need to drive a short distance to the nearest swimmable beach.

Sparkling clean, very nicely appointed and furnished, and a great location very close to the beach club. Our family of 4 had a fantastic stay at Maureen's property. Everything about it is really just perfect. Two separate bedrooms, nice bathrooms, a great shared space, well-laid out, etc. Nice towels, bedsheets, etc., just all very well maintained.
And it has really all you need for a vacation, including beach gear, a couple of nice umbrellas, and bikes. The kitchen has everything you need and the washer and dryer and dishwasher are great. And yes, it is true that the internet is high speed! (My kids verified it and they are the experts). And the Hal'i Kai development is very nice and quiet, and also very clean and well-maintained. Great location, and the private beach club has a wonderful pool and bar overlooking the ocean.
Communication with Maureen was great. Next time we come to the Big Island, we'll look to stay here again. We all wanted to stay longer!

We had a wonderful stay at Hali'i Kai. Hiking on the Trail by the Sea and listening to waves crash while sitting on the patio were great ways to start our vacation. The proximity to the pool was fantastic, though the pool wasn't as young-kid friendly as we had hoped. Still, would highly recommend!

This property was more than I ever expected! I usually love an ocean view and this has a small one but I was blown away by the cleanliness of the place and the close proximity to the pool and gym. You feel like you could jump into the ocean from the pool! The two bikes that are provided are awesome. My husband and I rode them to the Queens shops (about 2 miles one way) two nights. The owner was very kind and prompt in responses for any questions I had. I highly recommend this property!

Amazing place! My husband and I are avid travelers and Maureen's beautiful condo has by far been one of our favorites.
From the moment we stepped foot in the door we were pleasantly impressed.
Maureen's attention to detail is spot on... from the lovely decor to the comfortable beds all while providing absolutely everything one would need on vacation. We even joked that because she does such an awesome job providing so much all we should have packed was our toothbrush :)
The view and location were great since the pool, gym and restaurant are only a few feet away & like most reviews mention you can enjoy beautiful sunsets from the lanai, every night. It is a 5-minute drive (a gorgeous drive/landscape) to the the Queen and King's shops, with good shopping, and then another few minutes to some of our favorite beaches: Anaehoomalu, Hapuna, Mauna Lani, Mauna Kea. It's also close

We had an amazing vacation in Maureen's condo - the location is perfect, very close to the pool and ocean club, and the condo has everything you need, even beach and snorkeling equipment. This is a MUCH better value than the larger nearby "resorts" and more tranquil, with all the amenities you want and none of the crowds and extra fees. Everything was just perfect. I hope to return soon!

We had a great time staying at Maureen’s place. It was well equipped, close to the beautiful pool, gym, and restaurant, and very comfortable. Maureen was super helpful when we had a couple of questions and remedied what we needed right away. This being our fourth time to to Big Island this was our favorite spot!

We recently had an extended stay at Maureen’s condo in Hali’i Kai. The condo is exactly as portrayed in the advertising.
The “B” units are slightly smaller than the end units in the buildings but were more than adequate for our needs.
The kitchen was well equipped with staples and enough cleaning and paper products for our stay. The beds were comfortable and there were abundant beach toys and snorkel gear. We used the included propane grill often.
Maureen was easy to work with and responsive. The pool area is gorgeous and the bar and restaurant staff are friendly and accommodating.
I highly recommend this unit!

We stayed here for 6 days over Memorial Day weekend for our first trip to Hawaii. The condo and surrounding village didn't disappoint! The condo was stocked with everything you could ask for, including coffee, bikes, snorkeling and beach gear, and cooking essentials. The view from the lanai is amazing, and the pool and gym are steps away. The condo feels spacious for only two bedrooms. Highly recommend!

Having just spent three weeks in Honolulu, Maui and both sides of the Big Island, this was our favourite location and accomodation. Waikaloa is a very elegant resort area just 20 mins of Kona and easily accessible. Plentiful sun, great beaches and easy to relax. This condo is high quality and brilliantly located close to the main resort pool. Hali Kai Resort is well maintained, a nice pool and spa area, great gym and a nice bar/restaurant for lunch or early dinners. The condo 12B had everything we needed, was immaculately clean, and is highly recommended.
If you like nice beaches, the beach at Mauna Kea, a short 15 min drive north was our favourit. Get there early as it is restricted parking (all under control of the Mauna Kea Resort) - we missed out on the Sunday at 9am but scored a spot on the Monday and Tuesday at 830am. Plenty of shade, a gorgeous white sand beach with great snorkelling at either end. Like being in a live aquarium.

This is our second year staying at this property. Everything was clean and ready and the condo was stocked with everything we needed. We love the fact that it is just steps from the pool and restaurant and we can also sit on our patio and see the ocean. The staff Kathy and Saphire at the pool were awesome and took great care of us.
Would recommend this to anyone - great value for the money.
Hope to see you next year!

A very nice property with all that you could ask for. It has a great location within the property and all the clean comforts of home. The bicycles are an added bonus and got plenty of use during our stay. Everything was really good and the property owners were very easy to deal with. We would definitely recommend staying here. It was just too bad that we had done our shopping prior to arrival and found out upon check-in that the oven was broken and would not be repaired until after we were leaving,
Thanks for opening up your lovely unit to us...................

The property was fantastic. Very quiet and clean place.We have been to big island many
times but have not had a gorgeous property like this.The condo is as pictured with a nice
partial view of the ocean and is in close to the pool area , which was awesome. The staff
at pool/bar/restaurant were so nice and very friendly. Spectaculer ocean view and also the sunset was great. Sometimes whales' jumping can be seen. The condo was well stocked with everythings we needed. Thanks so much Maureen. We would come back to
stay here again.

Maureen's unit was fabulous & literally every attention to detail & little extras was thought of ( from bikes to snorkell gear & pantry items ) Our family of 4 had such a comfortable & enjoyable stay & the pool is so close along with the friendly staff of the Pool Bar. Could not ask for anything more, stay here if you want a relaxing stress free & comfortable holiday base to see the Big Island from ! Would definitely come back 😀

I have been using VRBO for years and this place was great for the family. The place was an oasis. The best part was that a short walk away near the Hilton there was a lagoon fed by the ocean. It was very safe and we did a lot of snorkeling including swimming with Sea turtles and a variety of fish. No need for an expensive boat when a lagoon like that exists right around the bay. This place was spot on with the description and the owner is solid and trustworthy. The golf course in this complex is expensive. The swimming pool and restaurant in the complex was wonderful. We spend many nights watching the sunset as we had drinks or dinner.

Wonderful place to put down some temporary roots while on vacation on the beautiful Big Island! We have stayed in this complex before but our first time in this condo. It is nicely appointed with everything you need while away from home. The bikes were an added bonus, so fun! The condo is in close distance to the pool and Ocean Club. We spent a lot of time there. It was hot and muggy when we visited so our girls (17 & 19), as did my husband and I, enjoyed the pool thoroughly! The staff at the Ocean Club are awesome too! We will be back! Thank you so much for sharing your getaway with us~

This was my second time using VRBO and I would not hesitate to do it again, particularly if it connects us to wonderful places to stay like Hal'i Kai. This unit is a fantastic place to stay! One of the better units in the complex. It met our needs for our family and then some. Everything was as described and shown in the photos. Seeing the ocean from the lanai was fantastic! The pool area grounds and the unit are meticulously maintained. Having two bedrooms, two baths and a well stocked kitchen made the stay very easy. We stocked up at Costco and cooked about a third of our meals there. We used the pool as well as the beach gear when we went to Hapuna, Beach 69 and Spencer Beach. we had good food at the restaurant the first night (fish tacos and burgers, as well as items on the Keiki menu). Sean the bartender, Kathy and Saphire were all very friendly and nice. The pool is on the smaller side, but very nice for sunabathing and a great place to watch the sunset. This is a very quiet and peaceful resort in contrast to the louder, more crowded hotels next to the resort. Not having to pay for parking was an added bonus, which can be $25/day at a hotel. Walking the trails that are connected to the resort was a great way to start every morning.
Maureen, thanks for sharing your condo with us. It helped make our trip quite memorable and was a great launch point to explore the island. I would HIGHLY recommend it to other considering a stay here. What a great value!
