Absolute paradise!
We are from Oahu and this is our second time staying in a Hali'i Kai condo and it truly is the BEST location in the Waikoloa / Mauna Lani area (in my opinion) and we've stayed at a number of the various properties over the last decade. The reason Hali'i Kai is the best: the property is immaculate, the pool not only has a view of the ocean, but a full service bar & restaurant (although this was closed for most of our stay), and a full gym with also a view of the ocean. The condo itself is modern, spacious, and fully equipped in the kitchen, with beach amenities (towels, chairs, umbrella, toys) and large, modern TVs. We also loved how quiet it was even though there were people staying next to us and below us, the construction is solid with thick walls so we didn't hear a thing. The owners were also very communicative, quick to respond and very welcoming to their home. We love Hali'i Kai and can't wait to come back!

Great property
Just finished a week stay at this wonderful condo. Loved the location on the island for our home base. Condo was clean, beds were comfy, lots of extras for use (beach towels, chairs, cooler etc). Host was very prompt when contacted. Used the pool only twice but had no issues while there like I had read about. Gated, safe, clean, quiet community. Loved how you can walk along the shore and it connects to nearby hotels and restaurants.

The home was in the center of everything. The restaurant on the property was exceptional with the food and service. I will go back for the Ti Chicken on flatbread. The accommodations were great and the home was decorated beautifully. The owners were available by phone if needed. Absolute great place.

Waikoloa's Hali'i Kai condo
The location is fabulous, the resort is beautifully maintained and we enjoyed the grounds, pool, poolside restaurant & bar. We also met many owners-in-residence during our visit. The Janif's condo is beautiful with a great 2bd/2ba layout. The only thing we didn't care for was that the sheets and pillowcases were very inexpensive 100% polyester, which didn't seem to fit with the quality of the rest of the furnishings which were nice. One other thing that's not that big of a deal is that vrbo shows checkout as 10:30am, but the guest book in the condo says 10am. If you're not a morning person when on holiday, it can seem early. But overall we had a wonderful visit, and we would like to return again soon.

I would had given a 5 star rating, but I didn't like the rule that no food or drinks, including water, can be brought into the pool area. All food and drinks are to be purchased at the bar/restaurant in the pool area. Other than that, we enjoyed the beautiful condo and property. It was very quiet and peaceful.

Amazing Location - Comfortable Amenities
Halii Kai is located within a gated area near the Kings and Queens marketplaces. The grocery store in the Queens Market is excellent, and priced pretty well, all things told. The kitchen in this VRBO is well appointed with all pots/pans etc. if you're cooking for yourself on a Hawaiian vacation. The grills out back were easy to use and super convenient. Unit has comfortable beds, large TVs, and just enough gathering space for family game nights, etc. Parking for one vehicle. Pool at Halii Kai is wonderful, as is the hot tub. Beach access within 15-20 minute drive either north or south along the coast. Hosts had everything clean and were communicative. Excellent spot!

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.

Excellent Condo
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.

The home was exactly as pictured, but so much better in person. The rooms are very spacious and the beds are comfortable. It was the perfect spot for my family of 4. This was our first VRBO experience and my family and I loved staying there. Would definitely book it again. Janelle was a pleasure to work with. 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 family had the privilege of staying at this beautiful, well maintained condo located in the equally beautiful resort of HaliI Kai. We have nothing but wonderful memories. We would highly recommend renting this property and would not hesitate to return in the future. The owners were very nice and accommodating especially when we had to modify our dates due to a unexpected airline schedule change. If you are looking for a peaceful holiday with the comforts of home you need to look no further!

We have stayed in this particular condo 3 times! We keep coming back because the condo is comfortable, large, (feels like 2 separate spaces) and has what one would need for a great stay on the Big Island. The owner is very responsive to needs or concerns. The complex has a pool, spa, gym and restaurant within walking distance. We love our time here and would definitely like to return.

Waikoloa Wonderful
The highest praise we can give this property is that we will certainly try to stay here again next time we head to the Big Island. The complex itself is better than any of the other places we've stayed in Waikoloa in more than a dozen trips, and this outstanding unit was the cherry on the sundae. Handsome decor, all the amenities you'd want and a host that was wonderful to work with. As good a nesting place as you'll find to use as a base for this end of the Big Island.

Absolutely Fantastic!
Can't wait to return! What a wonderful time my family and I had at this property. We arrived a little early prior to check in time and I reached out to Janelle and she told us it was okay that we could go in. What a beautiful condo! We were all comfortable and the unit is equipped with everything one could possibly need. A well stocked kitchen was what did it for me. I felt we were at home away from our home. Our host was superb and communication was great. I brought one thing to her attention and Janelle was very appreciative as she wasn't aware of it and took care of it immediately. She and I spoke on the phone and it was like we knew each other for some time. The location of the unit is superb inside of a gated community which allowed our 15 year old to ride around on an electric bike for hours without us worrying. The property on a whole is beautiful and close to everything like the grocery stores, beaches, trails etc. We stayed for 9 nights and my husband said we should have been there for 2 weeks. Having somewhere comfortable to lay your head plays a big part in that. Thanks Janelle for everything! We plan on coming back! For those of you looking for somewhere to stay on the Big Island, look no more for Janelle's place is it!
