Wonderful stay. Very well equipped home - they had everything we needed for the beach, the kitchen was wonderfully stocked and all the little details thought out….

This is an amazing property! The photos don’t do it justice. The view is incredible, truly oceanfront. the property itself is beautiful inside and out. It’s great to have both a table outside for eating and also a couch and chairs outside for relaxing. The pool is a very short (<5 min walk) and it’s absolutely beautiful with views of the ocean. We found the pool restaurant/bar to be great as well and ate several lunches and dinners there due to the convenience and quality of food. It’s also a short walk along a lava rock path to a beautiful black sand beach with amazing snorkeling. Shops, market, and more restaurants are a very short drive(on the property) as well. While on the island we enjoyed snorkel tours, night manta-ray snorkeling, a visit to Mauna Kea for stargazing, and a trip to the Kilauea volcano. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back and will 100% book this unit when we return. Thank you to the host for a wonderful vacation rental!

Excellent all around- excellent location, excellent home, excellent amenities , excellent views. The home was better stocked with daily items than my permanent home . Absolutely wish we were staying longer, and would choose this property again every time.

Good location. Safe. The pool and Oceanside Beach Club was great. The Village needs to smooth out Lava rock trail. Not good to walk on by the beach. It's marked, but people had trouble walking on it. Overall we would recommend it.

This was our 3rd stay at Hali Kai and it never disappoints! The complex is amazing and the location of this unit is perfection! We enjoyed our time on both lanais for coffee and happy hour! The whale watching is amazing! The pool area is stunning and the Ocean grill is a huge plus for the property. The food was excellent and the evening sunsets are gorgeous! The unit is spacious and comfortable. The sectional on the 2nd floor is a very nice addition to the space! The unit could use a few touch ups but overall highly recommended! Book your stay you won’t regret it! Mark was very prompt with return communication and super easy to work with! Mahalo!!’

What a beautiful view!!
We spent so much time on the lanai, especially the top floor. The furniture was so comfortable and we loved watching all the whales!! The view is hard to beat!! And the ocean club is such an added bonus. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

This is an breathtakingly beautiful location, totally oceanfront with whales swimming by. The unit is large and comfortable.
The living room couches and chairs were comfortable for reading, and the couch on the upstairs lanai was particularly nice for reading and viewing the ocean. The lower deck has a dining table and chairs, and we ate breakfast there most days.
The beds have foam padding toppers - if you like a softer bed you will love these. The bedding was all well-cleaned. The bedroom dressers had ample storage space and insides of drawers were clean.
The kitchen is very well equipped - the owners invite guests to use the various oils, seasonings, etc., and to replace what is used up. They also left laundry detergent, which was much appreciated. They have a lot of food storage containers, and even some ice packs and a picnic bag so you can keep your lunch chilled on the beach.
Various outdoor chairs and snorkeling items were provided, also much appreciated!
The pool club is a short walk and great for lunch, drinks, or dinner. There is a lovely little workout room there as well.
We would definitely stay here again if the unit were available for our travel dates.

Incredible ocean views from lanais. Beautiful grounds. Great restaurants nearby. We have traveled to the Big Island many times. We were very content to watch whales from the lanais. We would definitely return! Thank you.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. It was amazing that they had snorkles and boogie boards and chairs to use at the beach. Our kiddos were SO excited when we found those. We appreciated the amentities they included like spices, Hawaiian coffee, etc, but make sure you pick up napkins, paper towels and a sponge when you go to the store because we forgot those!
The view was AMAZING and location was great.
Our only negative feedback is that it was that the pillows were very much lacking, only 1 non decorative pillow per person (there were 6 of us) and the cleaning people didn't do a great job cleaning the home before we got there. The towels in the bathrooms were still very damp when we checked in and much of the furniture was quite dusty.
Thanks for a great stay and we will be back!

Condo exceeded our expectations! Immaculate and so thoughtfully stocked with essentials. Lanai views were amazing of the Pacific. Upstairs lanai was our favorite spot with the oh so comfortable sectional seating. The Ocean Club was convenient and food was delicious and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back and renting this beautiful condo again!

The views were stunning! The perfect spot for our vacation! The condo had so much room and was spotless. Great kitchen. Both Decks all you see is water. The gym area was ocean front by the pool and restaurant. Live music poolside and by restaurant. What a great surprise. Mark was the best VRBO host we have had. Responsive and full of great info! There is a great book he put together that’s in the condo with lots of helpful hints!
We will definitely return!!!!

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

We loved sitting on the balcony watching the ocean. Saw several whales one day right from the balcony. The entire condo was well stocked for all our needs, especially the kitchen. Short walk to the pool. The owner was quick to answer questions and left a nice welcome gift. Would definitely stay here again!

This was our second time staying here. It was just as amazing the second time as the first. The condo is perfect—location and condo. Every day we saw many (MANY) whales and about half the time saw spinner dolphins. We love the layout of the condo and the 2 lanais. Mark, the owner, was very responsive to every question we had. We so enjoyed our stay and plan to go back again!

Everything about this condo is excellent. Just a short walk from the pool and restaurant, right on the ocean. We watched whales swim by and watched the sunset every night. The condo itself is beyond well stocked and it was awesome to make dinners every night to relax after busy days. Bedrooms, bathrooms, all rooms were as listed and immaculate. It was great to have a home away from home for a few days instead of a hotel. We appreciate you having us, and we'll be back in the future if schedules a line. Thank you.

This spacious, well equipped condo provides all the conveniences of home in a place nothing like home - two Oceanside balconies, a tennis court/pickle ball court and Oceanclub pool. The kitchen is wonderfully well equipped, the deck has a terrific grill. And the resort area has bike rentals, golf courses, beach access and snorkeling. Old Hawaiian walking trails and petroglyphs provide a taste of the island’s history preserved. Perfect place to relax in perfect weather, nighttime clear skies with myriad stars to gaze at - restorative holiday.

Enjoyed watching the ocean activity from our lanai and the close proximity to the pool club. Grounds are beautiful and meticulously maintained. Kitchen and laundry room was well stocked and we appreciated having multiple towels. Owner is responsive and home was very clean when we arrived.

A beautiful property with everything you could want! We experienced no issues at all, and I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a scenic, comfortable, clean, and well-managed place on the Big Island. The Ocean View Club added a comfortable, convenient, and fun place to spend some of the time! Close access to any and all expeditions we wanted to do during the week! A 5-star vacation!!

There are too many stairs to climb to the front door and inside to the bedrooms… not too convenient for elderly people who may have difficulty walking. Other small concerns were conveyed directly to the host.
Th r location and the view are by far the major highlights of this rental.

This property was great! It was clean and comfortable and located close to shops and restaurants. I loved that things were labeled and booklet on the counter had great directions and helpful tips. It was so nice to have the little things provided (like dish soap, a clean sponge and beach towels). The views from the balconies was amazing, especially at sunset. Appliances were all top-notch if you want to cook on your stay (we chose to eat out). The community pool is beautiful and only about a 2 minute walk. The food at the pool restaurant was delicious and very fresh. The owner was quick to reply to emailed questions and even reached out to make sure we got checked in okay. I can't say enough good things. My only complaint, and it wasn't a big deal, was that the master bedroom mattress was a bit of a dome so I felt like I was sleeping on a hill. Overall my husband, myself and our two teenage children were all very comfortable and would totally stay here again! Highly recommend :)

This property is wonderful! Very easy communication with the owner. The unit had absolutely everything you need, from beach chairs and towels to any kitchen item you need to cook.
Love the grill!
The property is beautiful and so well maintained. The pool and bar/restaurant is a 2 minute walk. So nice to be able to walk over to happy hour. The property is very quiet, which is so appreciated when you want to sit on the lanai and enjoy the amazing sunsets. Nice hiking trails right out front - short hike to a beach. I highly recommend this unit for your stay.

15G is the perfect vacation destination with very responsive owners. The condo is very well stocked, clean and spacious. Both lanais had amazing sunsets a perfect way to end the day. It is a short walk to the Ocean Club to enjoy a good meal and cocktails with great staff. The pool is a great way to relax and take it all in. We look forward to our next visit.

We felt at home, this unit was fully stocked for our 2 week stay. Our only disappointment was that we had to leave.
It was clean and well maintained. You can tell they take great pride in their home. Mark was fantastic to work with.

This condo checked off all of our boxes! It is an amazing condo and location right off the shoreline with a lanai that enabled us to sit out morning and late afternoon watching the whales and dolphins. Every day there were many, many whales just off the shoreline. The living spaces were perfect for our group of 6 and the kitchen was very well-equipped for all the cooking in that we did (fresh fish, shrimp, local beef). It was a quick walk to the pool and fitness center as well as the trail that we walked each day, both south and north of Hali'i Kai. Perfect location for all of our excursions throughout the island. We will be back!

Hali'i Kai is amazing, and Unit 15G is the nicest and best home i've rented (5 prior visits). Truly luxurious. Nonstop unobstructed whale viewing from the two lanais, a shower with an ocean view, and a very short walk to the lovely ocean club and its great food + drinks. We shall return!

We loved our family vacation here. The condo is spacious and literally has everything you could possibly need. The host is quick to answer any questions. You can hear the ocean every time you open the doors and the views are incredible. Loved the upstairs balcony and relaxing in the gravity chairs. We walked to the pool each evening to watch the sunset and grab a Pina Colada from the bar. We took day trips up north to hike and explore Kona. There is also a path right outside the door that you can walk for miles along the ocean and through the other resorts in Waikoloa. Hali’Kai is by far the best place to stay! We had a wonderful relaxing week!

We had a wonderful family vacation at this well appointed townhouse style condo. It sits right on the ocean so morning coffee, watching a pod of Dolphins go by and sunsets are just a few of the highlights we enjoyed. The development is clean and well cared for with sidewalks for nice strolls. The unit is conveniently close to the pool, bar and cafe which we used many times. The floor plan works for 3 couples with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms which was perfect for me, my wife, our 2 sons and their significant others. The Lanai off the master suite was especially appreciated for listening to the waves before going to bed.
All in all, this is one of the nicest places we have stayed on the Islands and we plan to come back. By the way, the owner was attentive and easy to communicate with. Thanks Mark!

We stayed here in early October of 2021. Condo was large and spacious and enjoyed our time here very much. For the times that we stayed in and cooked, the appliances are all very high end and make cooking and cleaning a pleasure. The two balconies to sit and soak up the ocean waves coming in we’re worth every penny of paying more to be ocean front. We would love to come back here again and if you are on the fence about staying here, you won’t regret it!

Our family has been using Vrbo for about 20 years and we an honestly say that this unit has been one of the best. The unit itself was just what we wanted and expected. The furnishings were very nice and the beds comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed and had everything we needed and then some. The ocean view was amazing and we enjoyed it every morning with coffee. The on site restaurant was surprisingly very good and the staff were very friendly. The area was perfect for relaxing and doing some site seeing.
This was such a much needed vacation and words cannot express how much we appreciated the relaxing atmosphere this rental accomplished. We would recommend this unit anytime and hope to come back soon.

We had a wonderful time at Hali’i Kai! The location and view cannot be beat. Condo was well equipped for any type of traveler- couples, families, those seeking a relaxing stay or adventure. The proximity to amenities at Waikoloa’s King and Queens shops is a huge bonus as well as the on site restaurant, Ocean Club Bar and Grill- the pork nachos were excellent!
The only issue we had was the check in office being closed after our arrival due to a delayed flight (that’s on American Airlines though). Seems that they are open limited hours during Covid but I was able to check in the next morning and get our parking and pool passes.
Definitely recommend that you stop looking and stay here! We plan to return!!

My family and I really loved staying here. The three bedrooms were perfect for us and my two boys (ages 7 and 10) really liked having their own room with queen sized beds. All of the beds were comfortable. My kids slept 11 hours straight each night. That never happens at home!
The ocean view and two lanais were perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and restaurant. It's just a short walk away to the Hilton and a black sand beach so we got to enjoy the area without even having to drive.
Mark was very communicative and a great host. I couldn't have asked for a better place to enjoy our time on the Big Island!

What a fabulous place to call home for our week's stay with two other couples. The location is beyond perfect - you can't get any closer to the water. With an unobstructed view, every evening we watched the sunset and had perfect stargazing opportunities. The lanai is not huge but as 6 adults, when we were home at the condo, we spent all of our time enjoying it. We never even ate at the large dining room table .
The kitchen is very well stocked and it felt like home as we prepared meals. There living room furniture is very comfortable as are the beds. The master bedroom is huge as is the adjoining bathroom. There are plenty of linens, beach equipment, bathroom supplies. You could live here for an extended period very easily and very comfortably.
The pool and outdoor gym are lovely. The pool tends to get very crowded in the later afternoon (after everyone returns from the beach or adventures) but in the mornings, hardly anyone is there. Enjoy your stay....we definitely did and can't wait to return!

Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay on this amazing property! The beautiful artwork, spacious 3 bedroom condo, and amazing views were some of the highlights we enjoyed. I loved sitting outside on the top lanai listening to the sound of the ocean. It was truly blissful and peaceful. I read some reviews about the air conditioning and was a little worried. However, we did not touch it once because the temperature was perfect in the condo. Mark, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We hope to visit your property again someday!

What an exceptional place for a vacation! Very roomy for our family of five, and the view is second to none, looking right out at the ocean from the upper or lower lanai. Everything is clean and well kept, and they have equipped the place extremely well with cookware, high end appliances, big TV's and fans, an excellent BBQ, and nice/comfortable beds and furniture. The AC was having some issues but the owner worked hard to get it fixed and stayed in close communication with us throughout our stay, which we very much appreciated. Hope to stay here again at some point!
