We stayed with our extended family at the condo and all commented on how great the location was and how wonderful the condo itself was. It was clean and well stocked with multiple beach items. We loved the community/neighborhood and ate multiple times at the pool restaurant. Communication with the owners was easy, with quick responses. They were great hosts! We would definitely stay here again!

My Mother and Cousin were blown away! They are already talking about making an annual trip. Great condo and extremely convenient. I can't imagine a more ideal setup.
4.0
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.
5.0
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!

Our host, Janelle was easy to work with and was able to respond back immediately. The condo was spacious, excellent and had everything we needed. The boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrella was a plus to have in the condo. This was our first family trip to Hawaii and I would definitely come back in a heartbeat. Thank you again for opening your home to us.

We enjoyed our stay in Waikoloa. Loved having access to the Ocean Club. Perfect set up for two couples traveling together. Janelle was great to work with.
5.0
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.
5.0
The condo is great and we loved the complex and pool club, it could not be better. We will definitely return. Everything is even better than expected. Thank you Janelle!

Really enjoyed our time there. The access to the BBQ in the common area behind the condo was nice with the hammocks.
5.0
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.
5.0
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.

A comfortable place with all necessary amenities for a great time!

We had the best stay at this condo. It was very easy from the first day to the last. Our host Janelle was so friendly and we had easy quick communication. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. We’ve stayed at Halii Kai more than 10x and this was one of our favorite condos that we would love to return to. Thank you!
5.0
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.

We loved our time at the condo! It was a bit tricky to locate, but the host was very helpful and responsive! This was the perfect place for a family with adult children! My only regret is not staying longer!

We had an amazing 16 nights in March 2023. The condo was great and the Hali’i Kai grounds were so beautiful. We loved the lanai and watching all the birds and the geckos everyday. We will 100% be back as soon as we can.
Janelle responded immediately when we had an issue with the fridge ice machine and were able to fix it ourselves right away.
5.0
Very well appointed kitchen with lots of supplies. Extras for beach - chairs, towels, toys, etc. - also included. Thank you for NOT having a memory foam mattress in the master. They are not suitable for hot climates, yet lots of rentals and hotels seem to have them.

Loved our time here

We had a wonderful time at the resort. The condo was exactly as advertised. We had tons or room to stretch out. The local clubhouse is a great area to hang out, plus the food and drinks were great as well! We watched whales and spinning dolphins right from the clubhouse; what an experience! We will definitely be back.

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 stayed for a week and enjoyed it very much. The condo is spacious. Convenient location. Beach chairs, tennis racquets, basketball and beach towels made for easy recreation. Definitely would stay here again and recommend to others.

The property has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The Ocean Club has a good restaurant, work-out area, and pool. It is a wonderful place from which to view the sunset.
5.0
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.
5.0
The property was amazingly quiet and very relaxing. The pool and dining were just a short walk from the condo. The staff at the club was fantastic and made our stay even more special. I would certainly rent here again.
5.0
Using VRBO is very easy, found property very quickly and got it reserved in about 15 min
5.0
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.

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!

This is a wonderful condo in a great community. Everything was exactly as described. The pool was very relaxing. A nice workout facility though the nearby path made morning walks very enjoyable.
Would definitely stay here again

Magnificent stay in a magnificent condo
We had a wonderful time in this condo and found it to exceed all of our needs! The condo is beautiful, well-appointed, and spacious, with lots of room for the 4 of us. It has all the amenities we needed to have a beautiful trip to the Big Island. Our hosts were terrific and thought of every detail to make our stay wonderful - their communication was timely and we truly felt it was a home away from home for us. Thank you so much for everything!
5.0
Our young family of 5 had an amazing time here! Great location conveniently located near many restaurants and shops, yet very quiet and comfortable. The highlight for our young kids was the pool! We could not get them out at times. Sunset views from the pool are as good as it gets on the big island! The condo was very clean and well maintained and included great beach gear for the family. We would definitely stay here again.
