Beautiful, Relaxing Condo in Paradise

The property was well maintained and the unit was clean, comfortable, beautiful and well stocked - we did not need a thing! We loved the beach “closet” full of chairs, coolers, sand toys and snorkeling equipment. The unit is a couple minute walk to the beautiful pool and view, with the putting green and tennis court across the street. We were close to shopping, beaches and restaurants - absolutely cannot say enough about the unit, we will be staying again!! Loved, loved, loved it! Owners were very easy to work with and communication was quick and friendly! We definitely recommend!!!

Fantastic stay at Little Blue Whale, Hali'i Kai

We had a great family vacation at this very well equipped property. Supplies were abundant, whether it be every kitchen amenity imaginable, or multiple beach chairs and umbrellas to accommodate our family of 5 adults. Views from the lanai did not disappoint and we were fortunate enough to even see a whale breaching from that vantage point. The real gem of the Hali'i Kai resort is it's proximity to the ocean, well maintained grounds and the beautiful pool area. The sunsets from the pool were fantastic! We look forward to staying again!

Terrific

Our stay here was excellent. The condo was very nice and had everything we needed to make our stay great. There were plenty of towels, every kitchen item we could have ever needed, washer and dryer, beach items, and tennis racquets too. The clubhouse was an extra perk as well... great pool, gym, and restaurant.

Perfect Big Island Location!

First of all, we already knew we loved Hali’i Kai. You cannot beat the Oceanside pool and gym watching whales and dolphins play, the morning beach walks along the Hilton to A-Bay or up for some coffee/smoothies/açaí bowls - we are ready to go back already! But Steve and Maryanne’s condo was perfect as it had the view (yes, we watched whales and dolphins from the patio and gorgeous sunsets) but also all of the amenities of home. It had more than enough towels, dishes for everything, laundry soap and even beach gear to take to Hapuna just down the road. The beds were comfy and as much as I’d like to keep this gem of a place a secret so it’s available for us next time to book, I figure I should be honest. To top it off, they immediately offered us late checkout for a small fee knowing we had the red eye flight home which truly made it feel like we had an extra full day.Thank you Steve and Maryanne! We absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Hali’i Kai at Waikoloa

This unit is perfect for Ohana to enjoy all that the Big Island offers. Great resort location close to beaches, entertainment and dining. There are plenty of amenities to enjoy a beach day or just hang at the complex pool. Do make to trip to Waimea for The Fish and the Hog, Big Island Brewhaus, and Moa Kitchen. Don’t forget the Malasada Truck at the turn for Beach 69. A hui hou!

Little slice of paradise!

From the moment we pulled in to the complex we were happy we choose this condo. Beautiful complex! When we entered the condo we were really impressed how nice it was. Then we went out on the patio, what a view!! This condo has very thing you need, well stocked kitchen and so was the closet with all the water items. Several books on things to see and do and eat on the island. The pool and restaurant at the pool were great. This was probably one of the best properties I have ever stayed at anywhere domestic and international ! Great location, the King and Queen shopping area was close and had everything we needed. Two hour drive to the volcano but a beautiful drive. We hated to leave, but really want to go back soon. Thank you Steve and Maryanne

Lovely unit and location

A really great location and unit to stay in. Nice partial view of the ocean over golf course. (It's behind the Hilton complex so you have a view of that.) Quiet location. Highly recommend! Minor irritants: fans generally not controllable, grill didn't work (owner was VERY responsive and helpful), no body wash in one bath (owner IMMEDIATELY had it fixed), kitchen design not conducive to multiple folks working together due to triangular shape (not much you can do about that, we made it work... I watched LOL). The Ocean Bar was nice with good food. Most folks raved about it but we had at least one night with indifferent service at best. (Bar tender ignored my friend who clearly was waiting to order and helped another customer who arrived after her. For me, he just seemed distracted. One of the servers was a bit brusque. Our interactions with Pua, were outstanding. She's a gem as was Henos - not sure how to spell his name LOL)

70th Bucket List Trip

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

Talk about the 'wow factor'.
My husband, Steve, and I have been coming to Hawaii for years and also own #14C at the nearby Kolea Resort and #619 at the Villages at Mauna Lani.

We have timeshares on Kaanapali Coast - Westin North on Maui and at the Poipu Marriott Beach Resort on Kauai.
Yet, the 'wow factor' hit us when we saw the beautiful Hali'i Kai property. We came to Waikoala Beach Resort in February 2012 to attend a destination wedding. We saw the 'Open House' signs at Hali'i Kai, visited and purchased our dream home on The Big Island.
We invite you to be our guests.

Midwestern natives: we live in Geneva, IL {west suburban Chicago} and spend time at our Michigan lakefront home. We love the water and the relaxing atmosphere.
Enjoy all that you do!
Regards - Aloha.
Maryanne & Steve

Why they chose this property

Hali'i Kai is a unique property offering everything which we wanted in a Hawaii get-away.
Beautiful Hawaiian Plantation construction; upgrades galore and added local art. Our little piece of paradise.
The oceanfront Hali'i Kai Ocean Club with its hot tub, sunset views and relaxing atmosphere convinced us this was 'THE place' for us.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location.
Sunsets into the broad Pacific ocean ... a different view each evening. Such a special feeling. Magical.
