Everything was wonderful!!
The home was VERY nice, well stocked making cooking, washing and beach time even more enjoyable. The host, Mark, was attentive and the view was a highlight of our stay. Definitely would recommend!
Beautiful property with gorgeous views! Clean and so comfortable! Perfect for our adult family of 5.
Second tine staying at the property and just as great as the first time! Great communication, all the amenities you could ask for and hands down the best property with the most amazing views! Looking forward to when we get to come back!!
Amazing location, responsive host, clean and well-supplied unit. Loved it.
Had a great time on this vacation. The view was exactly what I wanted. You had beautiful sunsets each day. The second balcony has a comfy sectional and chair to relax on and enjoy the sunsets. The inside was in excellent shape and looked like the pictures. The kitchen had everything you could need and was all high quality. Hope to be back again!
Wonderful condo with prime location for whale & dolphin watching, sunsets & sunrises
We stayed in this condo for 4 nights. The view off of the deck was beautiful. We watched whales and dolphins. It was quiet and peaceful. We walked every morning. A couple of days, we went to the Waikoloa Hilton. It was a nice walk. We also walked to the black sand beach through the volcanic rock. That was a bit tough. Our first night, we ate at the Ocean Club. It was so nice to have that restaurant there after a long day coming from Hilo and the volcano. I had some questions and the host was very responsive. I highly recommend this place.
Obviously, the location is magnificent and the condo was well supplied. The cleanliness/maintenance definitely needed improvement. The main bedroom sheets were stained with what looked like blood so we washed them twice and the stains diminished but still remained. I recommend new sheets. The toilet paper holder in the second bedroom upstairs was missing the spring inside so the toilet paper went flying. The holder was useless. The hot water handle fell into my hands but all it needed was to be screwed back on. Any finally, the stairs are in bad need of cleaning. It's an amazing unit and we spent most of our time on the upper lanai watching whales. Being retired CPAs, this was the first time we were able to enjoy Hawaii during tax season and hopefully will be able to do so again.
The Mavis' home felt welcoming and completely comfortable for our family getaway. There was ample communal and outdoor space, incredible view, well-stocked kitchen and the perfect 3 bedroom/bath configuration for parents and two adult kids and one GF. Easy access to the beautiful oceanside trail allowed us to stroll to the Black Sand Beach (1/2 mile) and A' Bay (1.5 miles). Sitting up a bit higher on the 2nd/3rd floor gives a great view of migrating whales--what a treat! Communication, access and parking were spot on and easy. The home is obviously well cared for and was very clean. It was the perfect homebase for all our adventures. Would definitely return!
The listing almost correctly describes this property. I just doesn't go far enough. The location is ideal and the unit was close to the pool/clubhouse facility. The unit itself was spotless and plenty of space for our party of 3 adult couples.Views from the lanai's were amazing with incredible sunsets each day. Easy drive into Kona with plenty of shopping/dining close by.I would recommend this property without hesitation!
We had probably the best family vacation during the holiday season. The accommodations were perfect for us. It was nice to walk 3 min to the pool and beach club. It gave us flexibility to enjoy the view with a little one and not have to get her in the car seat all days and avoid long walks.Can’t say enough about the rental. Lanai in master bedroom perfect for whale watching. Area is great too and you’re close to great shops and amazing beaches. Hiking trail along the coast is right there at your door and also amazing.Host was incredibly responsive. Loved it. Will be back!
Amazing view with whales, great kitchen, kids loved the pool! Mark was quick to respond to our questions and overall a great experience!
Spectacular! The unit was perfect to share with young adult children...lots of space and more importantly an amazing view and location. The place was stocked with everything we needed and the owner was very easy to work with. We even saw a whale from the top floor lanai. We had a wonderful vacation and are so grateful we could stay here!
We absolutely loved this property! The property owner was very accommodating and responsive!! We hope to stay again!! Thank you for making our time on the island fabulous!!
We had an amazing stay at this VRBO. The property was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and all the amenities we could ask for. It was incredibly clean, well-furnished, and perfectly located near beautiful beaches and local attractions. The hosts were fantastic-super responsive, welcoming, and full of great local tips that made our trip even more special. This place truly exceeded our expectations, providing the perfect mix of luxury and authenticity. We couldn't have asked for a better Hawaiian getaway. Highly recommend!.
We were pleasantly surprised with our first visit to the Big Island, and our accommodations played a big part of our amazing experience. This was the first time we used a VRBO property (we typically stay in hotels) and it did not disappoint! The condo was so spacious and cozy. My family of 5 was very comfortable. Being able to stay together, cook meals together and enjoy each other's company, was worth it all! The condo is beautiful, and the amenities were on point. The view from the back balconies was simply breath taking! I would highly recommend this property and will be booking it again in the future!
We went with my parents and two daughters and had a wonderful time. The unit was big enough for all of us to share comfortably and the location couldn’t be better. We loved watching the sunset from the balcony. We hope to go back some day!
Wonderful stay. Very well equipped home - they had everything we needed for the beach, the kitchen was wonderfully stocked and all the little details thought out….
This is an amazing property! The photos don’t do it justice. The view is incredible, truly oceanfront. the property itself is beautiful inside and out. It’s great to have both a table outside for eating and also a couch and chairs outside for relaxing. The pool is a very short (<5 min walk) and it’s absolutely beautiful with views of the ocean. We found the pool restaurant/bar to be great as well and ate several lunches and dinners there due to the convenience and quality of food. It’s also a short walk along a lava rock path to a beautiful black sand beach with amazing snorkeling. Shops, market, and more restaurants are a very short drive(on the property) as well. While on the island we enjoyed snorkel tours, night manta-ray snorkeling, a visit to Mauna Kea for stargazing, and a trip to the Kilauea volcano. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back and will 100% book this unit when we return. Thank you to the host for a wonderful vacation rental!
Excellent all around- excellent location, excellent home, excellent amenities , excellent views. The home was better stocked with daily items than my permanent home . Absolutely wish we were staying longer, and would choose this property again every time.
Good location. Safe. The pool and Oceanside Beach Club was great. The Village needs to smooth out Lava rock trail. Not good to walk on by the beach. It's marked, but people had trouble walking on it. Overall we would recommend it.
This was our 3rd stay at Hali Kai and it never disappoints! The complex is amazing and the location of this unit is perfection! We enjoyed our time on both lanais for coffee and happy hour! The whale watching is amazing! The pool area is stunning and the Ocean grill is a huge plus for the property. The food was excellent and the evening sunsets are gorgeous! The unit is spacious and comfortable. The sectional on the 2nd floor is a very nice addition to the space! The unit could use a few touch ups but overall highly recommended! Book your stay you won’t regret it! Mark was very prompt with return communication and super easy to work with! Mahalo!!’
What a great place at a great location.
Beautiful property with a great view of the ocean. The morning whale show just off the shoreline was amazing!
What a beautiful view!!
We spent so much time on the lanai, especially the top floor. The furniture was so comfortable and we loved watching all the whales!! The view is hard to beat!! And the ocean club is such an added bonus. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
This is an breathtakingly beautiful location, totally oceanfront with whales swimming by. The unit is large and comfortable.
The living room couches and chairs were comfortable for reading, and the couch on the upstairs lanai was particularly nice for reading and viewing the ocean. The lower deck has a dining table and chairs, and we ate breakfast there most days.
The beds have foam padding toppers - if you like a softer bed you will love these. The bedding was all well-cleaned. The bedroom dressers had ample storage space and insides of drawers were clean.
The kitchen is very well equipped - the owners invite guests to use the various oils, seasonings, etc., and to replace what is used up. They also left laundry detergent, which was much appreciated. They have a lot of food storage containers, and even some ice packs and a picnic bag so you can keep your lunch chilled on the beach.
Various outdoor chairs and snorkeling items were provided, also much appreciated!
The pool club is a short walk and great for lunch, drinks, or dinner. There is a lovely little workout room there as well.
We would definitely stay here again if the unit were available for our travel dates.
What a perfect place to take your family. Lots of space, beautiful views, and tons of stuff like chairs, snorkels and pickle ball to use that make your stay that much better.
