I cannot express how great this trip was for my husband and I. We have stayed at several different condos on property that nowhere compared to this condo. The owners check on us throughout the visit and made us feel completely welcome. The moment we arrived we will most definitely Booking this condo again next year. kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance needed clothes, washing soap was there they had a closet filled with extra towels and supplies. They had bags for the beach chairs for the beach. You just couldn’t imagine anything that they left out love out on the outdoor patio watching the golfers golf and seeing the ocean also, the end

Beautiful and spacious condo. Lovely gardens and well maintained complex. Being at garden level necessitated sparing use of AC.
We loved the beach chairs, the army of plastic containers for storing food, the most excellent TV and its many options, ceiling fans in every room, the ice maker in the fridge and especially the morning coffee (not included) on the Lanai.
My wife loved the ocean breeze blowing through the gym at the Ocean club and the pool is excellent for young children.
The unit is a short distance from two excellent beaches, Hāpuna (waves and sun) and Waialea beaches.

This was an ideal unit for our golf trip, 5 of us were very comfortable staying there for 3 nights. It was in a convenient location which made golf courses, stores and shops very easy to get to. I would definitely stay here again!

So many extras! We had absolutely everything and then some. Cooking needs, tableware, bedding, blankets, outdoor and beach gear. We enjoyed the pickleball play as the locals were warm and welcoming. The view was amazing. Don’t hesitate to book here you will not regret it!

Visited Waikoloa with our family and this unit could not have been more perfect. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Checkin instructions clear. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels. Resort is amazing with lagoon pool, pool bar and grill and the best sunset views. Five thousand stars all around.

The condo and facility are wonderful. The view of the ocean (perfectly framed sunsets) and volcano from the lanai cannot be beat. The condo has everything you could ask for and then some, from kitchen appliances, to beach items, to coolers. The common pool and fitness area (best view ever) are also great. The grounds of the complex are also perfectly manicured. Finally, the owner was very responsive to any questions we had. Not one complaint and would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you for providing a perfect place for our vacation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! Richard was very helpful and accomodating with everything from information about the house, helping find things to do, and being easily reachable when I couldn't find something in the house. The house was supplied with everything we could need for the beach and cooking at home for the week we were there. The house was super spacious and comfortable. The bed was so comfy-most comfy bed I have ever had access to in a VRBO! I also loved the proximity to the ocean, the beautiful pool that was available and we went to the nearby beach(Waikola) many times and snorkeled with sea turtles! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful home! It was clean, comfortable, fully stocked, and offered a stunning view of the ocean from the balcony. The condo is located in a golf community with a fantastic pool that overlooks the ocean. There was a tennis court directly across the street as well. The Waikaloa resort area is full of shops and restaurants as well. It was a great home base for travels around the island. We were so sad to leave but hope to return in the future!

We had a great stay. It was like a home away from home. Lots of room for our family of 6. Very nice place! Very Clean! Comfortable Beds! Quiet area! It was nice to be able to park in driveway instead of a garage and walking long distance. Can see the beautiful sunset right from lanai. We would definitely stay here again and Lisa stayed in contact and answered our questions quickly. She made sure we didn’t need anything.

Beautiful property and prime location within the property. Pool and ocean club make for wonderful sunny days and sunset evenings. The property located well for adventure all over the island plus top shelf restaurants locally.

We LOVED our stay at Hali'i Kai. This condo was perfect. It had everything we needed for our stay. We appreciated small details like the beach bag hanging in the laundry room available for our use! (so helpful!). We also loved being able to use the snorkel gear (highly recommend snorkeling at two-step!) and beach supplies! (made for a great day at Hapuna - bring the boogie boards!)
The condo was well stocked, comfortable, and just overall wonderful. We would without a doubt stay here again!
We had a great experience at the Ocean Club restaurant & pool and we loved watching the sun set from the pool area.
What a gem! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

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!

A wonderful stay and the views from the lanai can’t be beat. Excellent location, the condo was immaculate with everything we needed. The AC wasn’t working properly upon arrival early evening, but it was fixed early the next day even on a weekend. They were very quick and prompt. I would definitely stay again!!

Great location, fantastic views of the ocean, golf course sunsets right from the balconies. Property is well maintained and gated. The unit was comfortable, very clean and well decorated. Fully stocked with all the accessories to make your stay complete. The clubhouse has a gym, pool, restaurant and bar. And BBq's to cook your own meals. I highly recommend this location.

This is a beautifully maintained, updated condo. The location is gorgeous and it has everything you need- towels, chairs, coolers, snorkel gear etc,
Unfortunately, communication with the host was difficult. We never got complete check-in details prior to arriving. After reaching out on VRBO with no response, I was able to reach the owner by phone on the day of check in. She was understandably frustrated that the cleaning service had not shown up and was trying to get the unit clean with us. However, she said she was too busy to resend the check in details and just kept telling me to check my junk folder. I did that, emailed her and texted her, and never heard back. We finally just showed up at the unit at check-in time and luckily she and there and let us in. We went back and forth via text a couple of times with the owner insisting that she had sent the emails. When she sent me a screenshot, there were misspellings in both email addresses (mine and my husband's). We finally got the check in instructions on the 3rd day. We were never able to access the Hilton property as advertised. This was obviously frustrating for both parties, but every time we reached out to the owner, she was rude and put out at having to deal with us and took a while to get back to us each time.
As I said- this is a gorgeous property! I would just make sure to get all of the necessary info and details way before you arrive.

This VRBO was the ultimite condo for us! She had everything we could ask for. Fully stocked in kitchen, bath, utility room, and beach toys. Beautiful view and quiet! She even had ice for the day cooler in the freezer. It was perfect for our family and we will be coming back!

We couldn't have been more pleased with this condo unit and the community of Hali'i Kai. Everything was pristine and beautiful. The condo was so clean and well equipped and the location was unbeatable. We enjoyed the pool and restaurant/bar daily and the sunsets from there are spectacular. We also enjoyed the golf course.

The condo was great just as described. We had a wonderful time staying there. It was spacious, clean, organized. John, the owner provided all info we need to check in. The location of the resort also worked for well for us. We had a great time while on the Big Island.

We loved the location! It was close proximity to the pool for our grandchildren. The view of the ocean was gorgeous. It was a delight to watch the sunset every evening. It was very convenient to be on the first floor, as well.
There were a few disappointments. First of all, only half of the grill was functioning. This made it a challenge, since we planned on grilling several meals. My husband had to go to the pool area to grill. The furniture, towels and kitchen supplies all felt weathered, over used and dingy. On the day we were to depart, the exterior lock code to the front door stopped working before our check out time of 10am. (We departed for airport at 9:30am. We almost got locked out when packing up the rental car.)
With all that being said, the view and location made it worth it. So, overall we enjoyed our stay.

We had an amazing time staying at this property. Richard was thorough with all the information and was available at anytime we had questions. The condo was clean and we were all very comfortable, it felt like home.
We could easily walk to the pool and walking path and we had great views of the sunset every night. A highlight for us was getting to sit on the patio every morning to have our coffee and enjoy the views and gentle breeze. We will be back again!

Our stay at Hali'i Kai 20 G was the best from beginning to end. The process and working with Hannah was great. Property location in Waikoloa Village perfect for a walk to Kings or Queens Villages or beach front path to A Bay. Information on excursions and activities were provided. The home was well appointed, very clean, lots of amenities to go along with any beach related activity. Beautiful home and very comfortable stay. Well done!

House was clean and comfortable. I have stayed at many vacation homes in Oahu, Maui, Kauai. We are always been respectful of our hosts and their homes. Prior to our arrival, we received via email a long list of Do’s and Don’ts that came with the house — which are all reasonable as we also do the same at our own home. In the house itself were various reminders posted on mirrors, the walls, the bed spreads. Okay, I get it, they are wanting to maintain the property. The last straw was when they sent an email reminding you to do a load of laundry and dishes before leaving. The cost of the rental with the associated property mgmt fee , damage deposit, cleaning fee, resort fee; followed by restrictive rules at the pool and the ‘reminders’ made our stay regrettable.

Everything was really great except that the lanai furniture did not face the sunset. We just rearranged the chairs so we could watch the beautiful sunsets every evening!
One note: provide a variety of pillow thickness.

This was a perfect rental for our family Graduation vacation. Great location, super close to resort pool and had everything we needed. Super clean and had beach gear for us to use while snorkeling. Property management were very helpful w/ a ceiling fan issue & a late check out. Amazing sunset/golf views from either balcony. Highly recommended for families or even 3 couples as each bedroom had it's own bathroom. Cheers!

We enjoyed the clean, spacious condo. It had everything we needed. The neighborhood grounds were gorgeous and well maintained. The pool area was also beautiful. We will certainly miss eating our breakfast on the lanai in the mornings watching the birds, mongooses, and golfers.

This was our first time visiting the big island. In total our group had 7 people, 2 families. There was plenty of room for all. The condo itselft was so clean. I struggle with visiting places and their cleanliness, always prepared to do a clean of my own. Not with this condo! You can see the level of detail upon entry. Not only were things very clean but the care put into the cobdo to make it homey and comfortable was apparent. It didn't feel so much like a rental, but as a home. My favorite part oddly enough were the labels amd instructions. Nothing was left to question, everything was well thought out and provided. The location was great, close to beaches and trails. It was exactly what we were looking for. There were sand toys, boogie boards, a cooler and chairs, even snirkel equipment. This was appreciated when we took our beach trips. I do have to say, and this is no fault of the condo, the pool is only open until 8pm. Kind of a bummer with smaller kids when allowing them to stay up a bit later for a night swim. Would absolutely stay again!

The unit was in very good shape. 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Lots of beach gear was provided in a closet. Air conditioning was very good. Lots of towels beach and bath and a full size washer and dryer. The property manager (maybe also the owner?) was very helpful in allowing us to stay late to our checkout for a small additional fee. The location in Waikaloa was very good as well.

This unit was the best stocked Vrbo I have stayed at. We had everything we needed and more. The extra bedding in the living room would be better if it was set up as a sleeper sofa instead of fouton mats but we made it work. The host was gracious, responsive and easy to work with. The location is fantastic and the facilities, grounds and access are all superb. We would go back again and can’t wait our next trip to the big island.

Staying at the Hali'i Kai condo made our family vacation just PERFECT!
From the booking to checkout, the process was seamless.
We arrived at Lisa's immaculate condo equipped with everything we needed to make it home for 2 beautiful weeks on the Big Island.
The condo & views looked exactly as pictured/advertised on VRBO, including the use of their golf cart which was a great way to get to the nearby Ocean Club pool/restaurant.
Even though there are limitless places to eat on the Big Island, we were impressed with the delicious cuisine offered at the Ocean Club. Everything we tried was great (cocktails too)! Lisa also shared additional great local recommendations that we enjoyed.
We also greatly appreciated the generous 'Welcome' basket of goodies from our host, Lisa, and the Guest binder that contained information about EVERYTHING you would need to enjoy the Island (courtesy of Allyson Michaels Concierge). We also received the digital version prior to our trip so that we could make plans for activities & excursions in advance.
We really enjoyed the private & very friendly community at Hali'i Kai! The grounds were beautifully maintained, and we loved going to the Ocean Club almost every night to enjoy an evening swim and the stunning sunsets! Truly a relaxing vacation in paradise!
We miss it already, but we will definitely return to Hali'i Kai because our host Lisa and Allyson made our stay so memorable! Mahalo : )
Warmly,
Darren & family

My husband, myself and our teenage son recently had the pleasure of staying at Richard's Condo in Waikoloa, Hawaii, and I can't say enough about how perfect everything was. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with tranquility and breathtaking sunsets that made each evening unforgettable.
The condo itself was immaculate. Every corner of the house was spotless, reflecting the high standards of care and cleanliness maintained by the hosts. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights after our days of adventure.
One of the highlights was the restaurant by the pool. The staff there were not only friendly but also very welcoming, making us feel right at home. Their warm hospitality added an extra touch of enjoyment to our stay.
Overall, Richard's Condo exceeded our expectations in every way. We are already looking forward to our next visit and will definitely be staying here again. Highly recommended!
