This was an ideal west coast location. Easy to find and close to airport (30 min drive). Home was as described. Lovely view of ocean from pool area. Home very clean and well stocked with beach toys and other sports equipment. Great vacation home!

We enjoyed our stay in this condo. The property is in a great location to visit many of the beautiful beaches in the area. The property grounds are beautiful and immaculately kept. The condo had good space for our family of five, and it is well stocked, beach chairs, coolers and lots of beach toys. A full spice rack, dishwasher and washing machine pods. The bathroom set up is efficient and lots of closet space. The condo was clean and comfortable. The only downfall is the $25 a day fee for the beach club. The beach club is nice but children are not very warmly welcomed. Lots of rules, kids can’t be in the pool without being constantly reprimanded. It would be nice to have to the choice of the beach club. Most days we did not go there due to the strict rules.

This unit was a disappointment as well as the property management responses to our issues. The twin mattress’s in the second bedroom are shot and need to be replaced. Remedies that management tried of placing boards between box springs, putting the twins together as a king then lastly, replacing with a queen mattress and leaving exposed and dangerous edges did not fix the problem. Bedding including pillows are worn and stained as well as all upholstered furniture. While we will return to Hali Kai next year, we will make sure not to choose this unit or property management provider

My daughter lives in Waikoloa Village so this was the perfect place to meet everyday. It is central to all the beaches we enjoy along with the King & Queen's Shopping Centers. We took family photos at the pool overlooking the ocean at sunset. Great time.

What a wonderful property! It was everything advertised and more! The unit itself is beautiful and the complex is quiet and peaceful. In addition to all of the usual condo amenities, the unit was well stocked with everything we needed for long days at the beach - chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, towels, etc. you name it - it was there! The foosball coffee table and the PS4 made our 12-year old very happy. Communication with the property management team was easy and they were super responsive. It was the perfect place for our vacation. The only downside is that the pool at the property is not particularly kid-friendly. But there are multiple beaches within a short drive so we utilized those. Would definitely return!

The place is very clean and has everything you might need - coffee grinder, mixer, blender, beach accessories, umbrella, chairs, fun toys for kids to name only some. And my spouse loved the outdoor space.

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.

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.

Great, clean unit within Hali'i Kai. Ocean Club has great food and drinks that can be enjoyed while overlooking the ocean. Lanai and living room furniture is not comfortable. There is a new BBQ on the lanai, but be prepared for very smoky conditions when using the BBQ.

I had a question for Michelle, the property manager and she responded very quickly. We had 3 adults and 2 kids and had plenty of room and sleeping space. It's a quick drive to the airport and close to a lot of the beaches nearby. Great location in Waikoloa too. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Stayed in this property for a month and found it to be clean and in good condition. Air conditioning was preset at 75 and 78 degrees which we found to be unacceptable. Although Kohala Management/owner agreed to send out technician to check and reset unit, it did not clear for long. Feel that potential AC costs should be built into rental costs and renters not be expected to "put up" with uncomfortable temperatures. Outdoor furniture not very comfortable or set up for dining, guests wanting to eat outside would have to hold their plates as coffee table was extremely low to do that.

This is a very nice property with many amenities. The Ocean Club, with food, pool, fitness center and bar is great and wonderful for sunsets. The unit has beach chairs, umbrella, some snorkel gear, a washer/dryer and a grill. All of which were really appreciated. Nice location and convenient to golf and a short drive to a couple beaches.

We had a great stay! Condo has everything you need with lots of amenities for the beach and pool. The beds we’re comfortable. Everything was clean and well kept. My only complaint is you have to pay to use the pool. I should’ve read the fine print a little better. And because there’s a bar and restaurant at the pool, you are prohibited from bringing your own drinks. Being able to bring our own food and drink is a part of the reason why we prefer staying in a house or condo vs a resort. The fee to use the pool is $20/day. I was charged the entire week even though we only used the pool twice. Apparently there isn’t an option to pay by the day. Other than that, the condo and property are beautiful and close to the beach, shopping and restaurants.

My wife and I were very impressed with Unit 2B. The pictures on the VRBO website do not quite convey how comfortable the villa truly is. The available beach gear and other accommodations were very thoughtful. The notebook filled with instructions on how to use every electronic item in Unit 2B was a nice touch. Strongly recommend this villa to anyone who needs a quiet place to escape to for a vacation.

We loved our week long stay at Hali'i Kai! We loved the location north of Kona; close to great snorkeling beaches & hikes. Michelle, the property manager, was very helpful and promptly answered any questions we had. The place was nicely decorated and beds were very comfortable. We didn't mind the 5 -7 minute walk to the pool area, though did drive a few times during the heat. We loved the sand bottomed hot tub & having dinner by the pool, watching the amazing sunsets. We also appreciated the comfortable beach chairs & snorkel gear. The only issue was that the outdoor furniture wasn't too comfortable. Though overall, a great place to stay!

The pool views were spectacular and it was nice to have a restaurant and bar nearby. Sunsets were amazing. Really loved this property. Mahalo.

Hali’i Kai is a very nice condo community... well maintained landscaping, great location, lovely pool area with a grill and poolside service (servers were great), and very quiet. Our unit (2B) was nice... clean, convenient. This unit was advertised as having a golf course view, however, that view was totally obscured by a dense row of trees and messy shrubbery, so that was disappointing. It was nice to have a covered parking spot.

Property was as described. Pool was perfect with views and available food. Our rental had lots of toys and beach accessories to use (we even left some boogie boards with view windows and sand toys for the next renter). The property manager and team was fantastic! We ran out of propane for the BBQ and they promptly brought another. We also had a medical emergency the morning of our departure and hey worked with us to accommodate a few more days at the property. I would highly recommend any property they manage just because I know you'll be taken care of!

Easy check in, sparkling clean unit. Enjoyed the pool on the water with the restaurant. Beds and bedding need to be updated and found the patio furniture pretty but uncomfortable to relax and read my book. We appreciated the great communications and early check in. The only issue was although check out was at 11 the cleaners knocked on our doors/entered the unit twice before 10:30 am while we were finishing our last morning and packing up.

We were thoroughly satisfied with our stay here at halii Kai 2B. It had just about everything we needed to enjoy our stay outside of Kona in the resort area of Waikoloa with family. Location is great right next door to Hilton Waikoloa. Kitchen stocked do well; I was able to cook for my family various meals with options for pots pans containers. The master king bed was very comfy, and the bathroom very nice. The a/c & fans were a little tricky to figure out, but after the first night we were able to then adjust it to our liking. We also enjoyed the pool and restaurant located all inside the resort, although it’s a bit of walk to the back, you can also park down there or find a visitor spot and not walk as far. I really can’t “complain” about anything from this condo, it was stocked also with anything you need to enjoy the beach or other activities they have at resort like basketball court, tennis court and put-put golf! But all this aside, what we really loved was it was clean!! Really excellent place for a family of 6! Thank you!!! Looking forward to staying here in the future again!!

This condo is very comfortable, save one thing that I will address later. Hali'i Kai is well located and well planned. While the property is on the ocean, this unit is 1/2 mile from the ocean and does not have a view of it. That doesn't mean that you can't enjoy the view or spend time on the ocean. The pool, bar, bistro, workout area is on the ocean and is truly wonderful. The pool is not really for swimming much, only 3 to 3 1/2 feet deep. But for cooling off or for children to play, it is perfect. It is beautifully designed, with lots of comfortable lounges. The staff at the pool are outstanding, helpful, and fun. The whales must have been well paid in advance for such daily displays--that was a joy. The unit itself is well appointed and very comfortable but for the lanai furniture which was the only thing about which one could be unhappy at all. We would go back in spite of the lanai furniture, not because of it.

Had a pleasant two week stay at Hali’i Kai 2B condo. Great communication from management previous to our arrival. Check in was a simple and efficient process. The property was as advertised. Upon entry, it was spotlessly clean. All the appliances worked well. The kitchen was well stocked with items needed to meal prep. BBQ grill was nice addition. Property had a nice garden view. The pool and ocean view were a short walk away (or you could drive and park). Property was central to shopping, restaurants and ocean activities. This was our first VRBO experience. We were very pleased with our experience. A special thanks to Property Manager, Michelle, who helped us resolve an issue that resulted from me leaving behind an item after we had checked out. With good communication and patience everything work out with a positive outcome. I highly recommend Hali’i Kai 2B and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook in the future. Thanks for everything.
