Summary:
Come home from a morning at Anaeho‘omalu Bay to a ground-floor garden lanai set for dinner outside, with three bedrooms ready for the whole crew. Halii Kai 18E is an end unit that sleeps six and keeps the indoor rhythm easy with central air conditioning, new hardwood floors, a sleek granite kitchen, and a comfortable living area for movie night. The primary suite has a king bed and its own bath with double vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. A queen bedroom and a twin bedroom give families a flexible sleep setup. Outside, Hali‘i Kai brings a heated oceanfront saltwater pool, children’s pool, hot tub, ocean-view fitness center, tennis, and on-site dining into the day without another drive. Waikoloa Beach Resort also places golf, the Kings’ Shops, Queens’ Marketplace, restaurants, a cinema, and a gourmet market nearby. Cook breakfast at the kitchen bar, linger over dinner at the six-person table, then let the evening wind down in the garden air. This is a polished, family-friendly Waikoloa base for guests who value space and resort time in equal measure.

The Space:
This 1,403-square-foot ground-floor end unit has new hardwood floors and a granite kitchen with stainless appliances, African Mahogany cabinetry, bar seating for three, and a dining table for six. The primary suite has a king bed and a private bath with double vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. A queen room and a room with two twin beds share the second full bath.

Guest Access:
Guests at this Hali'i Kai ground floor condo can use the community's outdoor pool, hot tub, and gym, plus a garden lanai with outdoor seating. A private entrance and path lit at night make coming and going simple. Beach essentials are provided for easy days near the ocean.

The Neighborhood:
Hali‘i Kai sits within Waikoloa Beach Resort on the sunny Kohala Coast, where black lava fields meet fairways and wide-open Pacific views. Anaeho‘omalu Bay is nearby for a beach day or paddle, while the Kings’ Shops and Queens’ Marketplace offer dining, groceries, and an easy evening out. Resort golf is close at hand, and the oceanfront club area gives you a place to linger between plans. It is a polished, easygoing Big Island base for beach days and sunset dinners.

Getting Around:
A rental car is recommended for exploring the Kohala Coast, beaches, shopping, and dining. Within Waikoloa Beach Resort, several amenities and outings are close by, while a car makes it easy to explore the surrounding coast.

Yes the host was fine, the amenities were not. No extra tp for a condo that sleeps 6 (we had 5), lamps with no bulbs, coffee pot the size of softball, again for a condo that sleeps 6, really?? The tv stand door fell into our hands as we were looking for the tv remote. Tried to communicate with local Vacasa and she basically said deal with it. Very disappointed in the cleanliness.

The place was nice. I WILL ONLY BOOK DIRECTLY FROM VACASA IN THE FUTURE TO AVOID THE VRBO SERVICE CHARGE THAT I WAS GOUGED WITH. WHAT A SCAM THAT WAS. CUSTOMER SERVICE BARELY SPOKE ENGLISH AND WAS NO HELP.Great place to stay though. Good location. nice (small-ish) pool. The kitchen was fine (everything worked), the WiFi was good, the showers / bathrooms were very good.

This ground-floor unit was perfect for our family of six, five of us adults, and offered plenty of space and comfort. Each of the three bedrooms had cozy, high-quality mattresses, and the ceiling fans in every room kept us cool throughout the night. The entry closet was a treasure trove of beach gear, including boogie boards, Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrella, snorkels, and sand toys for the kids. Everything we needed for a fun, relaxing stay was right at our fingertips. I’d happily stay here again, need I say more!

The condo was clean, inviting and very well stocked. The outdoor gear in the front closet was amazing. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you, Vacasa, for hosting us.

We loved our stay at 18E. The location was great. A short walk from the pool and right next to the basketball court, putting green, and pickle ball/ tennis court. The home had everything you could need for a fun day on the island; beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards and snorkel gear. The kitchen was also stocked with everything you can think of. There were plenty of pots, pans, utensils, salt, pepper, blender, toaster, etc. We loved using the gas grill on the back patio. The 3 bedrooms were perfect for our family of 5. It made it so everyone had their own space when needed. We also enjoyed having an in unit washer and dryer to clean towels, swimsuits, and dirty clothes. The condo is walking distance (about 8 minutes)from the Hilton and a short drive (or about half hour walk) to the King's and Queen's shopping centers and Lava Lava restaurant. I would highly recomend this property for your Big Island getaway!

Beautiful 3 Bedroom Unit. All Bedrooms and beds were great for our party of 5. Plenty of Space. Beach Towels, Chairs, and games provided. Short 5 minute walk to a beautiful pool (unfortunately pool closes at 8PM) for sunsets and live music on some nights of the week. Great communication leading up to and during our stay. Even provided us with a late check out on our last day. Loved everything about our stay.

Wonderful condo - patio was our favorite. We also love the community pool with food/bar overlooking the ocean. Whale watching. Right next to the Golf Course. The grounds are beautiful. Nice quiet area. The condo had everything we needed. We have stayed two times in this condo and now it's the only place we will stay when we come to Kona.

6 ladies stayed here for 4 nights and had an absolutely lovely stay. We kept commenting on how impressed we were with the area, condo, and pool/jacuzzi/restaurant area located in the condo complex. The condo had everything we needed and even had boogie boards and kids’ beach toys in the closet for guest use. Such a gem and would highly recommend staying here!

Insider tips

Good to know at Halii Kai

  • Most evenings at sunset, head to the oceanfront Ocean Club pool, where the sun sinks over the lava shoreline, weekends bring live music, and December to April humpbacks often spout offshore.
  • Without moving the car, follow the lava trail along the coast on foot to 49 Black Sand Beach, where the snorkeling makes the walk worth it.
