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.

The entire atmosphere of the house enhanced the beautiful scenery. The house is very well maintained, we never had to “wish” we had or needed anything. The spectacular views from both lanais were worth every bit of our rental fee. The pictures do not do the house justice, there is just no way to capture all of the beauty. Steve and Maryanne were very informative and have the island mapped out for interesting outings. We took their advice on where to snorkel and we were not disappointed…we played with several sea turtles and saw beautifully colored fish. I really can’t say enough about our stay, this house is a real “find”. You can’t go wrong with this rental.
Wish we could have stayed another week or two or three…

I can’t overstate how well the Hali’i Kai was appointed. Every appliance you could want including a rice cooker! The pantry was stocked with lots of seasonings. I highly recommend you check in before going shopping as most of what you need is already provided. Weber grill on the private deck made cooking there a joy. In addition there was a large closet full of beach equipment including half a dozen Maui Jim beach chairs. Beach umbrellas and snorkel gear rounded out all we needed for beach trips. Lots of cooking and dishware provided. High quality hand soaps and Pantene hair products were provided in the three bathrooms. Beds were very comfortable and we loved the sheets. It literally felt like we walked into someone’s home which was a wonderful home away from home. The food and drinks available at the pool were great! Incredible sunsets each night from either the unit or pool. Right across the street was a putting green. There were putters and balls in the unit which we enjoyed during friendly putting tournaments. If you like to fish, we caught lots of fish from the shore right there! The binder provided had all of the critical information you need to enjoy your stay. We visited several of the restaurants that were recommended in the binder with great success. We had no problem parking two cars during our stay. There is a visitors parking place right outside your door and several around the complex additionally. Highly recommend!

The townhome was as described in the photos. Amazing sunsets and views of the golf course. The owners were very responsive and communicated via text to see if everything was ok.
There is lots to do in the area. We went night snorkeling with the manta rays, watched sunset and stargazed at the top of Mauna Kea and golfed at the Waikoloa beach golf course. The pool area is great and the beach is close by. Everything was great - I would recommend the townhome to family and friends.

We spent a very enjoyable week here with children and grandparents. Amazing view of the ocean and a very well appointed unit. Extras like spices and kitchen utensils, charging outlets in every room, hand lotion, and copious beach equipment were all greatly appreciated. Some of the appliances needed a cleaning... Cleaning out the filters and running some cleansing cycles on the dishwasher, washer and coffee maker greatly improved their function. Club House on the ocean was gorgeous and we enjoyed drinks and food there on many days. Kids all had fun in the pool and asked to go back there every day. Staff were pleasant but overly watchful, with any minor rule deviation being called out and corrected with our group and many others at the pool. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay and would consider returning next time we're on the Big Island.

Loved the property and view! Pool and onsite restaurant were great. Only downside was parking for more than one vehicle however we were able to find visitor parking in the complex.

Great house. Had everything we needed to have a wonderful vacation. Great location to tour the island or just go to the beach. Ocean Club was great for morning workouts and scenic lunch or dinner. The hosts were always responsive to my questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hawaii and especially our accommodations at the Hali Kai. This condo is outstanding and is beautifully located with a direct ocean view. It was very clean, well equipped with supplies and tastefully decorated. We really appreciated the owners’ interest in ensuring our vacation was stress free and their offer to contact them if we had any concerns, of which there were none. We would definitely look to re-book this unit upon our return to the Big island!

Hali'i Kai Townhome exceeded our expectations in every way. The luxurious accommodations, breathtaking views, and abundant resort amenities made for an unforgettable vacation. I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a relaxing and rejuvenating escape on the Big Island.
Here are a few additional details that I found particularly noteworthy:
The private ocean club is a true gem. The pool is stunning, and the food and drinks are delicious. We enjoyed spending evenings there listening to live music and watching the sunset.
The lush landscaping throughout the resort is beautiful and well-maintained. We loved taking walks around the property and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.
The location of the resort is ideal. It is close to Anaeho'omalu Beach, the King's Shops, and many other popular attractions.
The property managers were very responsive and helpful. They answered all of our questions promptly and provided us with excellent recommendations for restaurants and things to do.
The townhome felt like HOME. It had every amenity you would need when spending a holiday week away from home.
Overall, I cannot say enough positive things about Hali'i Kai Ocean Front Resort. It is a truly special place and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable vacation in Hawaii.

Just imagine a beautiful setting in paradise and staying in a gorgeous, clean, fully fully furnished property. This is what you will have here! I can’t say enough good about this property. Hosts were awesome to deal with and we have never felt this comfortable in a rental and we have rented many many vacation rentals.

A first for all 5 of us, our trip from northern Montana to this spacious, well-supplied townhome with a plethora of information in a 3-ring binder gave us multiple places to go/things to do as it was a bucket-list Hawaiin dream-come-true excursion. We snorkeled twice in the nearby Mauna Lani beach area, spying multiple exquisite varieties of fish in their underwater habitat. I kept singing "How Great Thou Art" in my head as I witnessed God's ocean beauty below the surface. We ate well daily at our "home" and in establishments, but tops for my daughter and I was Papa Jacks on the Hilo side of the island. Small restaurant, reasonable prices and exquisite choices with the chef coming out to chat afterward with each table. Also on the Hilo side is the Hawai'i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden (Botanical Gardens) which held splendid plant varieties from all over the planet that were thriving well. Back near our resort, the meal & historical entertainment at the Waikoloa Beach Marriot Sunset Lu'au was delicious and exhibited authentic music/dancing. We flew 1 day to Honolulu utilizing David "Kawika" "Get Your Guide" to take in Pearl Harbor/Arizona memorials plus a grand tour of the Mighty Mo naval ship, learning LOTS. We had brews plus a seaside meal at the 604 before flying back to "our" island. Utilizing the onsite resort pool/restaurant/bar was a hit, plus it's where we met our friendly landlords. Mahalo, amazing Hawaii, for the outstanding memories of a lifetime! Sal,Rick & fam
