12b is very nicely decorated and comfortable, with high end appliances. Great location, just a quick walk around the corner to the Ocean Club. It had everything we needed for a quick trip to Hawaii Island.

The place was well furnished, everything we needed. It also had lots of beach chairs, coolers, and other things we could use while there. We would definitely stay again.

This property was ultimately the best we’ve stayed over several years visiting Hawaii. Location and view were top notch. Condo was very well stocked with condiments, coffee, shopping bags, clothes washing soap and many little things to much to mention. The battery in the smoke detector ran out & very nice lady (sorry didn’t get name) got there in 15 minutes to replace. Our daughter & husband came to stay for one week and loved the condo. We all enjoyed the beautiful pool and Club House food. Kathy at the Club House was especially nice. We loved Unit 12B. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Hali'i Kai was simply amazing and this property is in a fantastic location...expansive views of ocean (perfect for whale watching) and steps to the pool. This will be our go to property for trips to the Big Island.

12B was probably the best vrbo we have stayed at. The furnishings were fabulous, it had a well-stocked kitchen with great dishes, pots and pans and all the extras you would need for your stay.
The view from the lanai was great, we got up early each day and enjoyed the view of the golfers while we drank our coffee. The golfers made for some free entertainment.
The rooms and bathrooms were amazing, and enough supplies for our 9 night stay. We didn’t need to go out and buy one item because we never ran out of anything it was that well stocked up.
We would highly recommend this as a vrbo rental to anyone. They even sent us a Hawaii travel book a few weeks before our arrival which was a nice touch.
We loved 12B and would 100% stay there again on another trip to Kona.

Reviewer Comments:
Waikoloa Vacation Rentals is one of the easiest Rental Companies to work with that I have ever booked with. Seemless booking, arrival and 3 week stay. 12B is thoroughly stocked with everything you could ever need for your vacation and even more. The condo is just lovely, beautiful furnishings and was spotless. The master bed was so comfortable it was hard to leave it in the morning, except for looking out the window and wanting to go greet the beautiful day!We spent so much time on the lanai for sunsets, meals and just lounging. The view is fabulous. Intoxicating! We absolutely LOVED the pool/restaurant/bar and spent a good amount of our days there. Bartender Chris entertained us every day and we find ourselves missing him and his stories already. Beautiful complex! We met so many people from all over, it was a blessing. I don't want to end without letting you know how much fun the Hilton is and how accessible by a short walk from the complex! We ate at all their restaurants, and probably walked over there several times a week just for the enjoyment. You can get a daypass at their front desk and use the pool and lagoon all day too. We did that the day before we left the island, and have so many fun memories just from that day. Mauna Lani to the North, has phenomenal restaurants and shoppes just like the Hilton. We are coming back! Mahalo and Aloha!

My husband, daughter and I stayed in Halii Kai 12 b for 9 nights over the New Year’s holiday. It was exactly as advertised: clean, well provisioned, with a spectacular view of sunset and whales! They even have the martini glasses and shaker to make sunset martinis! What they didn’t tell us was that in winter you can step out on the grass and watch sunrise too!! The furnishings are upscale and the kitchen has lovely pots, pans and appliances. We have stayed at Halii Kai before and so were a bit concerned that since the b units have no windows on the sides, it would be like staying in a cave. The orientation of this unit allows light in all day long. The only draw back of that is it is a bit too hot to sit on the lanai in the afternoon because the sun shines directly on you and there is no shade. Since the amazing oceanfront Halii Kai pool is just steps away, this is an easy problem to overcome. I only have two recommendations to make this unit better. We would have loved to have a bbq on the lanai as did all of the other units in this building. The grill at the pool is often busy, so it can be challenging to time a meal. Also, we had asked that the two twins in the second bedroom be converted to a king. This was done without the proper bolster so the crack between the 2 twin mattresses was very obvious and quite uncomfortable for our daughter. The management suggested I use some extra bedding to fill in the crack and this helped a bit. If they get the proper kit for changing the twins into a king then, I would recommend this unit for 2 couples traveling together; otherwise it is best for a couple and two singles. Overall, these two issues are far out weighed by benefits of this unit’s amenities from bathrobes and soft bath towels, to the well stocked kitchen and pantry with leftover basics from previous guests to its location very close to the Halii Kai pool complex and the ability to sip martinis while watching the sun set into the ocean!
