About this apartment rental
Aloha! Welcome to Hali'i Kai, recently named #1 resort on the Big Island, which is located in Waikoloa on Kohala's Gold Coast, so named because our 350 annual days of sunshine is the most in Hawai'i. Hali'i Kai, is the only gated resort on the west coast of the island with a private restaurant and bar. Our Oceanview Club, includes a tiered pool, restaurant, fitness center, tennis courts, and all these amenities are all private to guests of the resort. E Komo Mai.
Welcome to paradise! Our villa is the perfect place to call hale ("home") while you relax and enjoy all the Big Island has to offer. Take in the views from the lanai, which is situated on the 9th hole of the Waikoloa Beach Golf Course, and offers views of the ocean, sunset, Kohala mountains, and the Hualalai volcano. Unwind and socialize while cooking in the fully-stocked open-concept kitchen or using the lanai's gas grill. Entertain yourself with a cabinet of books, board games, or one of the 2 cable TVs. Ceiling fans in every room and on the lanai along with the breezy trade winds will keep you cool and comfortable and we have A/C to cover you during the rare heat wave since it is almost always in the mid-80s.
The condo was recently remodeled with new wood floors in the hallway and living/dining room. (NEW FLOORS SINCE PHOTOS TAKEN)
The layout is ideal for 2 couples or a couple with older children.
The master bedroom features one of the comfiest king-size beds you'll ever sleep in, two large closets, and a large ensuite master bathroom with dual vanities and oversized shower with rainfall shower head. The second bedroom has a king-size bed and adjacent bathroom. The second bathroom, which has a bathtub, is located next to the second bedroom and can also function as a common bathroom for guests.
We offer conveniences of laundry in the unit, deeded parking, free Wi-Fi, and cable TV in the living room and master bedroom. Our guests can also access our beach closet which holds boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas, float noodles, and a rolling cooler. The activities closet offers children's golf clubs and golf balls, tennis racquets and tennis balls, pickle ball set, snorkels, masks, fins, life jackets for little ones, a child's wetsuit, beach towels, bocce balls, and a basketball.
Daily resort fee is $25 additional paid by guests upon check in.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hali'i Kai! Within minutes of booking the manager reached out and confirmed. We had excellent communication and received all the access codes we needed to make our late arrival smooth and easy. The unit was exactly as it appears in photos but was even more comfortable than we expected. Having rented other units in Waikaloa previously, it was a change to have a place so well stocked with regular costco house & laundry supplies and carefully decorated to make it homey. The master bed was extremely comfortable and we loved the large walk-in shower. We especially enjoyed our morning coffee out on the lanai and seeing all the birds that come around daily. Lastly, we really appreciated the manager flexibility with our late check-out so we could get one last swim at our favorite beach before flying home!

My family had a great time here. The description of property is spot on. Condo is in vacated community that is very well manicured. The pool area is gorgeous with a great view. The owner was very responsive and condo had all sorts of equipment and was very well stopped. I especially liked that there were reusable water bottles to use on excursions. Next time we go to the Big Island we will definitely book this location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Susan’s house. It was exactly as described. The kitchen has everything you would ever need. We used the barbecue on the lanai several times and loved our meals out there watching the golfers come by. On the day it rained we sat out there and played cards and had a wonderful day.
The beds are super comfortable. We enjoyed the Ocean Club for meals, drinks and workouts and for some great whale watching.
I would book this house again in a heartbeat. Susan is an excellent host and did everything to make our stay extra special.

The good:Property is in a nice, well-maintained & landscaped community with pool right on the coast. Area has range of shops/restaurants/golf for easy access. Condo had good quantities of basics you expect in a mod/high end place.The not so good:Owner was easy to communicate with but onsite mgmt company for the neighborhood is horrible! 2 of 3 office staff we met were flat out rude, condescending & completely unwelcoming. This treatment was observed as others checked in too. They make it nearly impossible to use amenities like pickleball - must check out a net during limited office hours, yet nets are never there & never on the courts. We've never stayed somewhere that didn't have the nets ON the courts! It's a gated neighborhood, simply ridiculous.The 'resort fee' gives you the privilege of one, one and only one pool towel. This despite the fact the cushions on the pool loungers were disgustingly stained with who knows what, making use of the pool a bit gross. The overall attitude is geared to pleasing their residents & long-term/repeat guests while not so quietly telling others that you're really not welcome.Lastly on the condo, we rent 3-6 VRBO's per year and we know every owner takes a different approach to what they provide, but I'll never understand the unwillingness to provide even a single pot worth of coffee to help guests get the first morning off to a good start.Ok place & good location, but definitely not a great mgmt company for the community.
