We had a great experience. Gracious hosts and beautiful setting. The condo had a bit of all the essentials.

The place was perfect, great location, clean , roomy and hostess was lovely!The only downside was the food at club was awful! And add insult to injury…waaaay overpriced! Lesson learned! Queens marketplace has way better food options!

We loved the space and cleanliness of the condo. We used the Ocean Club and loved the food, pool and amazing views. We appreciated the ability to use the snorkel gear at the beaches close by and in walkable distance from the condo.

This property was ideal for our spring break week in Hawaii. The condo was very clean and well appointed. It is a great size for a family of 5.The condo complex has a wonderful pool with excellent service. The grounds are immaculate. Loved it and plan to come back!!

The condo was very comfortable, and the view from the lanai can't be beat. We saw humpback whales breaching and spinner dolphins leaping almost every day. Glorious!

Had a great stay. The condo was absolutely perfect and the resort pool with the club house was an added bonus! We traveled with two other families that had ocean side condos and everyone agreed that this one was the best!

We had an amazing time at this property - we were there for a month and everything went great. The condo itself is amazing - very well appointed and the grounds are immaculate. The pool is great and you can whale watch while doing cardio in the gym. Everything you need for snorkeling or hanging out at the beach is included. Just an amazing place with responsive and helpful owners. Highly recommended!

Our stay at this Hali’i Kai condo was perfect. The check in was smooth and and easy. The unit was extremely roomy, and very clean and comfortable. All the amenities we needed were provided. Even extras like towels, beach chairs, tennis rackets and boogie boards. Hali’i Kai is a beautiful and peaceful community. The pool area is gorgeous and perfect for relaxing at the end of an adventurous and sun-drenched day, to kick back and enjoy cocktails as we watched the sun set. The surrounding Waikoloa Beach Resort Village is also beautiful and has everything you need. Shopping, supermarket, restaurants and golf. All in all we had an amazing and perfect holiday and were so sad to leave after 8 days. We will certainly my rebook here on our next visit to the Big Island.

Had a wonderful two weeks staying in 16G. The condo was clean, well-appointed and in a terrific location with beautiful views. Richard was an outstanding host. The check-in communication was thorough and timely. He followed up with me during our stay a couple of times to ensure that all was going well with our stay. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay at Hali’i Kai!! The place was clean and perfect for our family of 6. So much to do with the best beaches nearby. They have plenty of beach gear and the apartment feels new. We used the community barbecue for a few meals. Loved the back deck! The community pool and hot tub was amazing!

This was my second time staying at this condo, and both stays have been fantastic. This unit is very well appointed and includes everything you may want or need. The lanai is tastefully decorated, the outside fan is wonderful to help stay cool, and the views are mesmerizing. Shaded parking is the icing on the cake. Highly recommend.

Vacation with my 85 year old mom who hasn’t been to Hawaii in 20 years as well as my youngest son and daughter in law who are pregnant with my first grandchild. What a precious time of relaxing and enjoying the beauty and sunshine of Hawaii. Love the Waikoloa area and the condo was wonderful. Great memories made. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place!

My wife and I chose to celebrate a milestone anniversary staying in Doug and Vicki’s oceanfront Hale. A welcome basket of snacks greeted us as we arrived. The location and unobstructed view directly to the ocean could not have been better. The two large windows in the master bedroom also faced the ocean. Whale watching was a daily event from the lanai. There was a sense of peaceful privacy. The kitchen was bright and had modern appliances. We didn’t really do any cooking, but we could have with fully stocked pots pans, utensils, silverware and glassware. Ocean Club access which included a very nice restaurant with weekend live music, pool and exercise facility were a great convenience not to mention just a short 2 minute walk from the front door. Beach equipment including chairs and towels were provided. We would highly recommend this Hale. Book early, it is very popular. Mahalo Doug and Vicki for your thoughtful hospitality.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The condo was clean and well appointed and beds were very comfy. The landscaping in this complex is so well maintained and quite beautiful. The pool is amazing! While there the ocean was teaming with whales which we watched from our lounge chairs. Can't wait to stay here again. Mahalo!

We had an amazing stay! We love Halii Kai and being so close to the pool was really convenient. We could be there right at opening, go play at the beach in the afternoon and be back in time for a last dip in the pool, dinner, mai tais and sunset at the Beach Club! Richard and his manager Jackie were very easy to work with. We had some miscommunication about our arrival time and Richard was so kind to accommodate us in his other unit in the same building 16H which has killer views of the ocean from the balcony. We will definitely be booking one of these units next time we are in Kona! Note for anyone traveling with kids: Richard’s units are stocked! We had everything we needed and more, all the kitchen basics and lots of pantry items, coolers, beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkels, towels, boogie boards of varying sizes, and games!

All of the excellent reviews of this property are absolutely correct. This is the cleanest, most well-equipped property I’ve ever stayed at! Spent a week here with my husband and one of my kids, and we couldn’t have been happier with it. Plenty of space, everything we needed in the kitchen, a closet full of beach gear, and lots of small touches to make our stay easy. The owners and friendly and easy to communicate with, and clearly take pride in their place. I would absolutely stay here again.

This is one of the best condos on the island of Hawaii. Very clean and well maintained. You can watch the whale show early morning and late afternoon, everyday from the lanai. Plenty of activities close by and great restaurants. We would definitely recommend and hope to stay there again.

It was everything that we hoped for and more. There wasn’t an item that we were missing for our stay. From beach gear to kitchen items to the absolutely wonderful king size beds. Very comfortable.The view was fantastic and Hali Kai is a great resort. Never fear in booking this unit as the homeowners cover the daily resort fee. A very nice touch. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

This condo is gorgeous, both in terms of the location and the luxurious interior and charming lanai. It is exceptionally well equipped and thoughtfully supplied, and the hosts went above and beyond to be helpful, giving us excellent recommendations and being super responsive to our messages. Our two weeks here went way too fast and we would be delighted to return. Simply lovely.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this perfect condo. The location is the perfect setting for enjoying a nice breakfast and watching the sunset from the lanai. Christi was so easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating. We were greeted with a welcome sign and snacks after our long day of travel. The condo is beautifully furnished with island touches and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make a delicious meal. We’ve stayed at Hali’i Kai over the last 14 years and Christi’s place is our favorite! 10/10 accommodating

The good:Property is in a nice, well-maintained & landscaped community with pool right on the coast. Area has range of shops/restaurants/golf for easy access. Condo had good quantities of basics you expect in a mod/high end place.The not so good:Owner was easy to communicate with but onsite mgmt company for the neighborhood is horrible! 2 of 3 office staff we met were flat out rude, condescending & completely unwelcoming. This treatment was observed as others checked in too. They make it nearly impossible to use amenities like pickleball - must check out a net during limited office hours, yet nets are never there & never on the courts. We've never stayed somewhere that didn't have the nets ON the courts! It's a gated neighborhood, simply ridiculous.The 'resort fee' gives you the privilege of one, one and only one pool towel. This despite the fact the cushions on the pool loungers were disgustingly stained with who knows what, making use of the pool a bit gross. The overall attitude is geared to pleasing their residents & long-term/repeat guests while not so quietly telling others that you're really not welcome.Lastly on the condo, we rent 3-6 VRBO's per year and we know every owner takes a different approach to what they provide, but I'll never understand the unwillingness to provide even a single pot worth of coffee to help guests get the first morning off to a good start.Ok place & good location, but definitely not a great mgmt company for the community.

We’ve stayed at a number of properties at Hali’i Kai, but never 7F. We keep coming back to the resort for the beauty, the quiet, the amenities, the services and its ability to always reset our priorities. The townhome is now top of our list for future stays. It’s impeccably maintained, stocked to the gills with all requisite goodies, all things work as they should and the owners are extremely responsive. We loved every minute of our stay and returned to our “real” lives refreshed, recharged and ready to plan our next adventure.

Just as listed. A ton of room and stocked with above average supplies in both Kitchen and Baths. Garage had beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards and much more for beach. Nicely organized. The patio does get very warm in the afternoon - and the ocean view is certainly there but nothing like you get at the pool. Would stay again for sure.

Unit is great, clean and quiet. Everything we could have needed was there.. plus some. It’s a bit of a walk to pool but worth it! The amenities at pool are top notch. The gym is often full in the mornings, but the beautiful walk to get there should count while on vacation! Having the restaurant and bar on site at the pool is so convenient …..some days… no reason to even think about leaving.

Everything about this condo is wonderful! The cleanliness, the amenities & providing all the information needed from check in to check out was fantastic! I rely on all the reviews from VRBO which is why I rented this condo. The view from the back patio to see a glimpse of ocean & beautiful green landscaping & lava rocks is amazing! A great place to have coffee in the morning & a glass of wine with dinner in the evening & watch sunset. The owners provide everything you could possibly need & more to have a wonderful stay/vacation. All the kitchen spices & kitchen ware you could possibly need. The closet filled with beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling gear, pickleball equipment, beach bags to use at the beach, a cooler for food at the beach were all there. There is so much more in the closet that we didn't use, but they thought of everything to enjoy the sun, surf & sand. The pool located on the edge of the ocean gives the best sunset views you could ask for. We enjoyed having cocktails & delicious meals & appetizers from the bar/restaurant while watching sunset. The waitstaff was so nice. The owners are very responsive & helpful. Whenever I had questions, they responded online within minutes from the time I made the reservation to the last day of our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo to make our stay comfortable (the bed was so comfortable and slept so well) & fun. We will recommend this condo to anyone that is going to stay in Waikoloa!

![Hali'i Kai 2 Bedroom Ocean View Condo]()
Very clean and well-stocked condo, including beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, umbrellas, snorkeling gear, and some golf gear. The unit is close to the golf course and wonderful view of the ocean in the distance, but when we went in February, we had to go to the Ocean Club to see sunsets over the water. You might have better luck seeing sunsets over the water from this unit in summer. We did not use the discount golf package, so if that is important to you ask for details before booking. The listed property amenities are accurate, but some photos should be updated: The unit has new flooring (not tile, but LVP), new kitchen and bathroom countertops (not granite, maybe quartz), some new furniture (such as a new sofa and dining room table), and no gas BBQ on the lanai, but an electric George Foreman grill in the kitchen. Overall, these are improvements (except perhaps the BBQ, but no BBQ/grill is listed in the amenities). The property manager, Allyson, had good communication and offered fun things to do on the island. This is our fifth time at Hali'i Kai and we plan to return again!

This property is exactly as described. The host is very responsive. The kitchen has everything needed for meal preparation. Beds are very comfortable and living room area is relaxing with comfy furniture. The Lenai has the best sunset view as well as beautiful daytime views of the ocean crashing against the lava walls. Many mornings we were treated to whale sightings. The location is great, close to the beach and walkable to shops and restaurants. All you have to do is show up as everything else is waiting for you.

Impossible to overstate how well prepared and welcoming this roomy condo and its host is! It’s really a private nook in a larger resort. We’d not been here before but will come again and wouldn’t stay elsewhere. Spot whales while drinking morning coffee. Great view of golf’s most scenic hole here. Very welcoming and responsive host. Much like (a well appointed) home—but absent most of the worries and with 80 degree daily temperatures!

The location of this unit and its amenities make it so worthwhile. It's clean, spacious and had everything we needed. We loved taking advantage of the clubhouse, fitness center and swimming pool of Halii Kai as well as the free passes to the Hilton. Communication from the property management company was excellent. We will stay here again for sure!
