Halii Kai Reviews


We were lucky enough to book this property as our vacation plans had to change at the last minute. The condo is absolutely beautiful, well stocked and in a great location. We felt like we could have moved right in! The neighborhood pool is beautiful and clean. The backyard is right off the golf course with an ocean view during the day. The night sky in the backyard is magnificent. Owners are great communicators as well - lots of written instructions provided and quick texters as well. Thank you for a great stay!

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

The house was great. We super appreciated the gear - made the beach trips fun and easy. Also loved the Ocean Club - beautiful views and good bar. Location was great for touring the island - Hāpuna beach is only 15 minute drive.

My daughter and fiance got married and had their (short) honeymoon at Halii Kai. It couldn't have been any better. My wife and I stayed there about 10 years ago and totally enjoyed the unit, complex and location. We will probably be back.

Fantastic property with outstanding finishes. It IS on 2nd and 3rd floor, so a fair number of stairs between you and your bed. And the area lacked soulful restaurants, etc (whole area is filled with resorts so there are plenty of options, just not much authentic Hawaii nearby). But this property was absolutely fantastic. Really pleased with our stay. Couldn't recommend more to anyone seeking resort property.

Janelle was available and lovely for any questions we had. The condo was perfect for us. Know that the pool doesn't allow any outside beverages including water. We went to Costco upon landing and mistakenly to the grocery store in kings shops. It may be worth packing a few kitchen essentials so you don't have to overpay for them.

Wonderful 10 days in paradise. 3 generations celebrating 50 th wedding anniversary of grandparents. Condo is excellent for 6-8. Well appointed. Lots of beach equipment in garage. Our 4 th time at a condo in Hali’i Kai. This was the best. Tremendous view of sunsets. Many excellent close beaches - a bay, Hapuna, 69, . Kids favorite was a-bay for easy snorkeling. Easy walk to beautiful pools area. Basketball court across street. Jogged every morning from condo on Ala kalakai trail along ocean to a-bay. Kids loved seeing porpoises at Hilton.

This was my second time, but husband’s first time, staying at this property. We loved the location and my 9 year old son loved the pool area! Condo was plenty enough space for the 3 of us.

The property was beautiful and spacious as described. We highly recommend the Hali’i Kai community having enjoyed stays in various units the last 5 trips to Hawaii so it always feels like home. This oceanfront property offers two spacious lanais to take in the spectacular sunsets and enjoy the stunning ocean views. The well thought out unit offers plenty of space, a well appointed kitchen, and is beautifully decorated. The owners also took the time to label light switches to make our lives easier. We reached out to Mark at our initial check in and he was incredibly responsive and helpful. We enjoyed nightly sunsets and when we weren’t exploring would enjoy the breezy lanai taking in a meal or cocktails. Truly a wonderful location, we would absolutely stay in this unit again. 5⭐️

The property is beautiful. We had everything we needed. My only complaint is the poor communication from the owner. We could not find the beach chairs. I texted the owner and she never responded. I also had this problem before we left. I had a few questions for her and she never emailed me back. Aside from that the condo is absolutely gorgeous and would highly recommend.

Beautiful property. Great location with a wonderful pool area. Condo was spotless and was wonderful having three full bathrooms. The only inconvenience was the fact that we arrived after seven on the first night and the front desk closed at six, so I had to wait until the next morning to get our access cards for the pool and everything. When I checked in the next morning, I still had to pay the $25 fee for the first day even though we couldn’t use it since we arrived too late.

We spent the first half of the vacation adventuring, and came here to relax. What a great spot! We enjoyed coffee on the patio, the fitness center, the pool is gorgeous, and everything we needed for some fun days on the various beaches was provided. Fully stocked kitchen and all the utilities necessary to end a perfect family vacation.

We enjoyed our stay! The only complaint we had was the floor was dirty when we arrived (made our feet and socks black 😬) so we had to use a container of Lysol Wipes to clean it.
Kimberley R.

From our communication with the owner to our nightly sunset viewings from the lanai, everything was absolutely perfect! We have never stayed in such a well-“stocked” VRBO! Absolutely everything you need for daily beach trips, everything you need to prepare meals in (if you aren’t being spoiled at the restaurant on site by our favorites, Kathy and Daniel), and everything you need for a very comfortable stay in paradise!
Erika C.

The pictures don't do this place justice! The view is awesome, and my kids loved running around in the lovely lawn out back. The apartment is impeccably clean and comfortable with newer remodeling. It was so nice to have 2 full baths, ample closet space, and empty dressers to fill. My kids loved playing in the beautiful pool. The sunset and star-watching was excellent too. The ample beach equipment provided was a nice bonus.

The condo was amazing! It was beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything you’d need. I really appreciated the soaps and laundry supplies that were ready and waiting for us. The condo is also close to the pool and conveniently located on the island for excursions. Richard was a very gracious host. He provided a lot of information about the condo community and activities on the island. We couldn’t have asked for more and hope to make a return trip in the future.
Allison F.

The condo was perfect: clean, spacious and the most well equipped place we have stayed. The kitchen had everything. The lanais have beautiful ocean views.

Also the slider was a challenge to open and close. It is still a lovely unit and the bed was very comfortable.

August 2023

I usually don’t give reviews but I had to say something because this place exceeded our expectations! A Wonderful place it had beautiful view from the lanai which made a great spot to drink coffee in the morning and watch the sunsets at night. The condo was outfitted with everything we needed and was a comfortable place to relax. fishermans trail is right off the lanai and leads to 49 black sand beach, a great beach for snorkeling and relaxing, only about a 10 minute walk on the historic trail. The hosts were very welcoming and able to help with any issues. They gave us a great recommendation for our 20th anniversary dinner, Ulu was just the place we were looking for. The ocean club was close by and had great food and drinks as well as a nice pool. I would highly recommend staying here.

If you are looking for a perfect condo on the Big Island this is it! Owner very responsive and had the condo ready with a welcome bag of coffee and basket of fruit. It is exactly as described and pictured. Spacious and comfortable for our family. It is a 5 minute stroll to pool with amazing views of ocean. It was really in the middle of everything we wanted to do and we drove all over the island. Close to restaurants, A-Bay, Mauna Kea, Hapuna beaches etc. One of the best things about this condo is the accuracy of inclusions: Washer/Dryer ✅ Sunscreen and Bug Spray✅ Beach Towels✅ Beach Chairs and Umbrellas✅ Cooler✅ Comfy Bed✅ Life Jackets✅ Snorkel stuff and beach toys✅ Starter pack for detergents and supplies✅ Plus, so much more. Finally, don’t miss the sunset; it was amazing!! We would definitely stay here again.

We loved everything about our stay. The condo is beautiful and very well stocked with everything you need for a fantastic beach vacation. The owner was very quick to respond to any thing we asked. We were sorry to see our time here end. Will definitely stay again. Our only complaints had nothing to do with actual condo. Our flight was delayed and we didn’t arrive until right at 6pm when office was supposed to close. However they closed early that day 5:15 so when gate code didn’t work we were a little panicked. Luckily another resident let us in but then the pool attendant was VERY rude to us. We learned later that this particular pool attendant ( the only one) was just cranky about everything. We heard from at least 8 other families that she had given them grief also. Other than this our stay was perfect.

As a VRBO owner myself, I was really impressed by the attention to detail in this condo. Everything is labeled and they’ve thought of nearly anything you could need. It was clean and comfortable. The view was amazing. This unit is so close to the pool and Club house- like basically next door. One of our best nights was dinner at the club house restaurant, watching the sun set. The food there is delicious!! Don’t pass up the restaurant. Getting to a beach, You really need to drive. The unit has all the beach amenities you need. But no beach access. A’Bay is close (5 minutes) But my kids thought the sand was rough. Hapuna beach is 15 minutes and the sand is so nice But there is no natural shade (unit had an umbrella we could take) and currently the running water at that beach is out of order. Access to the shops and restaurants in the resort area was great too. I would recommend this unit to a friend.

Excellent location and property. However, a couple of concerns here. The area rugs were hazardous. something needs to be done with them. multiple times people tripped on them and had to move them out of the way. TV remotes were hard to operate, very confusing. took a lock time to find the remotes to work the fan. found in a drawer in the guest bedroom. Even with these challenges, we very much enjoyed the stay. We love the Halii Kai resort.

Absolutely loved staying here! It was perfect for our large group of adults and grandkids, enough space for meals, lounging, card games. Having coffee or a cocktail on the lanai, overlooking the coconut grove was so relaxing.

This was our first visit to HI. We wanted something really nice that made the event feel special. 22D absolutely met those expectations. The unit is very clean and cozy. Wish we could have stayed longer. I would suggest a chaise lounger on the deck…or chairs that recline. We sat out back a lot, and wished we could recline at times. We will definitely plan to stay here again on our next visit.

LOVED the view and access to golf course, swimming pool, and club. The condo was everything we needed as a home base while we explored the island! Communication with owner and concierge was very pleasant and they responded in timely manner every time! Well equipped kitchen and garage had anything you needed for a trip to the beach. The property is well manicured with lovely landscaping. If we make it back to the island again this is the first place I will look into! Will highly recommend this property and unit to anyone we learn is going to the Big Island!

The condo was very comfortable for me, my wife and 3 kids. We are glad it had beds for everyone. The beds are comfortable, but since they are memory foam, they tend to be a bit hot. The condo was very clean, appropriately stocked and nicely decorated. The only suggestion I would give is to put a night light in the master bath. With no window, you can't see anything at night unless you turn the light on. The internet worked great, as I had to work some of the time there. Close to the best beaches and snorkeling only 15 minutes away.

Our family of 5 spent 11 nights in this beautiful slice of paradise. This condo truly has it all!! The VIEW is amazing. Every night we sipped drinks on our personal lanai and we grilled up amazing food right on the lanai. The kitchen was well stocked, great Sub Zero refrigerator and had all your basic needs. It was wonderful to have a turn key beach set up! They provided 4 chairs, cooler, and food bag. It made beach days so easy! We would love to stay in this unit in the future! Truly a special spot! Nothing beats this view!

The property when you walked in looked like the photos, however, it lacked some of the amenities that other rentals in HaliKai have. The air conditioning at the property will intermittently work. No matter how much you change the thermostat, sometimes the AC won’t kick on. Initially the property provided no extra bedding. It was literally a bed sheet and a thin micro fleece blanket. Spoke to Kona Vacations who suggested we turn down the AC before agreeing to send some blankets. The twin beds in the bedroom squeaked terribly and needed the maintenance company to come fix them. Worst experience by far was the cockroaches in the kitchen area. We took some photos but I do not know how to attach. Overall the experience felt like a hotel rather than a vacation rental that I am used to from this resort. I got fooled by the cheaper price but won’t make that mistake again.

The furniture is very outdated . The worst thing was the A/C the temperature for some unknown reason would change all the time!! Had to pay a resort fee of $25 a day even for the day you check out by 11:00am. Th ladies at this office were very unfriendly.

An amazing sunset seen from the lanai welcomed us to the Big Island after our long journey, and every night after that. Prime viewing for endless sunsets. Laurie Jo and Paul were so welcoming, and very easy to communicate with. Any questions were promptly answered. This was the perfect space for our family of 5. I loved that it was a first floor walk out. The cross breeze with the screened front door is wonderful. It was very clean and comfortable. Laurie Jo made sure we were equipped with beach towels and plenty of necessities. I highly recommend this property and hope we can return someday. Very sad to leave 😢Mahalo Laurie Jo & Paul

This was exactly as pictured. Let me preface by saying that we usually stay at luxury hotels when we go on vacation (Ritz, Four Seasons, et el) so we took a chance as we had our daughter and granddaughter with us and hotels are not their thing so we wanted something that felt more like home. Let me say that this condo did not disappoint. It was very clean, well stocked with all you would need for a beach visit. The washer and dryer were a God send. :) Pool, gym and restaurant/bar were immaculately kept. This unit is a 30 second walk from the pool. We loved staying there. So much so that we have already booked our stay for next July. Hali’i Kai at Waikōloa will be a resort we will continue to visit. Just wonderful.

She reached out to me a few weeks before our stay to give some details about the house and she answered every question I had.

Our visit to this residence, in the Hali'i Kai community at the Waikoloa Beach Resort, was a pure joy from start to finish. We found the condominium itself even more impressive than the owner's listing suggested, and its conveniences and amenities even more lavish. And the owner himself was extraordinarily helpful and responsive, replying to even our slightest and silliest inquiries with an almost startling promptitude. I would not hesitate to describe the quality and comfort of the accommodations provided at this residence as clearly superior to those of a four-star luxury hotel, and I would most certainly and most eagerly visit here again.

Our first time staying here and we will definitely come again. Beautiful views, quiet, easy, clean, organized unit and community. We loved the lower unit and the grass outside the lanai. We played corn hole, spike ball and more. Quick walk to ocean trail. The community pool, restaurant and gym were a PLUS. We loved the option to go here everyday. The condo itself was clean spacious and just right for 8 adults (with 2 on sofa sleeper in living room). The condo is stocked with so many extras. It’s been our best experience by far in all condos we’ve rented for our vacations simply because so many kitchen items were there. Foil, ziplock baggies, Saran Wrap, tons of Tupperware for beach picnics, portable coolers, beach towels, bikes, games, after sun products, snorkel gear, kids toys, scooters, boogie boards, and more! Have so many little things there that we would otherwise have to buy was genius. Kitchen cabinets are not cleared out. Oils, seasonings, etc are there. The host was awesome and very attentive to all communication. We had an amazing time with no complaints.

We had a hard time finding a house that supported our 3 young children, but here we found the kids room with a twin bunk, a full bed, and a twin trundle. The other 2 rooms supported 2 sets of adults well. Overall the place was very clean, no bugs spotted inside during our stay. Great wifi. The location is great, with a market, shops, restaurants, and a beach all located just a few minute drive away. You're located right near the highway that takes you through the middle of the island over to Hilo. We drove to Kona quite a bit which was about 30 minutes each time. We were provided with boogie boards, beach chairs, pool noodles, a cooler, snorkels, tennis rackets, and a basketball. Management was very responsive when we needed a set of sheets for the trundle. They detailed really well in their welcome book places to eat, places to visit, beaches to visit, etc... The pool is about a 10 minute walk. It has 1.5', 3', and 4' sections. There is no jumping allowed. It has great views for sunset, which you won't have back at the house. There is plenty of parking at the pool, but it does get crowded around dinner/sunset. We ate at the restaurant one night and it had really delicious food, but was on the pricey side. Negatives: * Some of the pans had lost their shape in the middle and didn't sit well on the electric stove * 30 minutes outside Kona * No sunset view from the house * $25 per day resort fee required at arrival

We have stayed in the Waikoloa resort area several times, and this was by far our favorite place! We loved the location close to the water, walking distance to Hilton and ocean-front sunsets, short hiking trail to black sand beach, incredible ocean front pool and fantastic pool restaurant/bar, quiet complex with gorgeous landscaping. This unit was perfect for us. We had everything we needed to cook, keep up with laundry, relax on the lanai, and enjoy the beach! We loved having boogie boards and other beach stuff to use! Super easy check-in/check-out process, owners communicated quickly, great cancellation policy in case anything came up before our trip. We had such an awesome time and will definitely be back to 9B! Thank you!

Great place for home base to explore the big island. It was so helpful to have access to the gear that we would otherwise have to rent. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen. There was nothing else we could have needed!

We loved our stay! The condo had everything we needed to make our trip enjoyable! They had coolers and ice packs in the freezer so we could pack lunches for our beach days. They had beach towels and chairs for the beach as well. They had plenty of laundry pods so we could wash our clothes. This island was beautiful and this was a perfect spot to enjoy our time!! Could not recommend it more!

Beautiful views from this amazing condo that offered everything we could possibly need. Our family stayed here for 2 weeks and loved every minute of it. The entire property is perfect - quiet pool area, great restaurant on site, close to shopping and dining, and plenty of room for our family of 5. We also loved being able to use the Hilton pool next door. When we went to the beach we had everything we needed at the condo including the boogie boards. Can’t wait to come back.

We loved 22A! The balcony has a great view of the grounds and the beds were comfortable. It was VERY clean and well kept. The pool area was super nice and the staff was very helpful. The only thing I would recommend is if you are staying in the guest bedroom to make sure the blinds are shut during the day. My kids got a bit hot in there even with the AC on. Mahalo for your hospitality!

Perfect unit, fully stocked (pack/play, beach gear, etc.), with a peaceful ocean view. Super close to the pool. The front grass was great for the kids as well. Jim was very responsive and had great advice for our stay, we look forward to coming back soon.

The property was fully stocked with everything we needed. We have visited the Big Island for the past three summers and this was one of the best properties we have seen. The location was close to our favorite beach, Hapuna Beach, and the view was great for sitting on the patio. The added bonus of the Hilton access was a great surprise. Our kids loved the pools and water slides. It was big enough for our family of four and the pool and bar area was a very close walk. We would definitely come back!

AWe had such a great visit. The place was super comfortable, well stocked, awesome location, and had great views. The master bedroom mattress was a bit firm for me, but that might be a personal preference.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pictures are exactly how the unit is but the unit looks way better in person. The unit was very clean and well maintained. I would suggest updating the shower fixture in the secondary bathroom because it was very hard to turn on and would make whining sound. We got quick and easy responses from the property manager. I would recommend staying here if you like quiet, nature, privacy, cleanliness, and need a well equipped kitchen, games, and private BBQ. I did not care for the restaurant. The menu was limited (chef sick) but we still had to pay full price for the resort fees. The pool was beautiful but we never got the chance to use it. I recommend walking the ocean view trail accessible from the property.

My sister and I had a relaxing week in paradise. We loved the property and everything about the unit. This was a much-needed trip to relax, heal, and make some new memories after unexpectedly losing my beloved husband of 22 years. I would stay here again and hope to soon.

This condo is absolutely wonderful. Perfect location close to the pool, lovely lanai with great views, clean, comfortable, and very well stocked. I would give it a 5 star review except the communication with the host was so challenging. She would not communicate via the VRBO messaging (never answered any of my messages) and insisted she emailed me but never did (looked in spam and junk folders - no emails ever received). We got our check-in info AFTER the check-in time with the help of the VRBO helpline. I was panicked that we had been scammed and would not have a place to stay. At the Hali’i Kai community check-in for parking pass and payment of daily resort fee we were told our experience had sadly become common for that unit. So, what I would say is if you don’t need or expect assistance from the host, this is a great place to stay. Personally I will be looking for other options when returning to the Big Island.

Not only is the unit itself amazing, but the property is beautiful, well kept, and very peaceful. We loved everything about our stay- mornings on the lanai with a cup of coffee were the best. We made use of the AC from time to time but the fans made a lovely air flow themselves that kept the unit nice and cool. The pool is gorgeous and it was really fun having the bar/restaurant right there as well. We also enjoyed the walk down the lava path to Honoka’Ope Bay Beach. We will, without a doubt, stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Michelle was great. The vacation rental was clean other than there were these tiny ants that would sting . The furniture is very outdated . The worst thing was the A/C the temperature for some unknown reason would change all the time!! Had to pay a resort fee of $25 a day even for the day you check out by 11:00am. Th ladies at this office were very unfriendly.
