The unit is exceptional. The location is great, the furniture is comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. The beach gear closet had everything we needed to snorkel & just relax with chairs & umbrellas. The cable was a little spotty, but we didn’t spend a lot of time watching TV so it was fine. All in all a great unit.

Hali’i Kai is our favourite place to stay in Hawaii (the State, not just the Island!). This unit offers the best of Hali’i Kai, being very close to the Ocean Club and having a perfect location for those incomparable Kona sunsets! The kitchen was well stocked and the BBQ grill worked flawlessly with a spare propane cylinder just in case.
We would definitely stay here again!

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay in February. The condo is very spacious, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and a wonderful view. We had some gorgeous sunsets from the patio and the best part of this listing is the proximity to the pool/restaurant/gym area. So easy to roll out of bed and walk 40 seconds to get to the gym. The pool area is fantastic, the bar n grill was amazing, and we saw humpback whales all day/ every day. The prefect trip, thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

This is a beautiful condo, well stocked and perfect for families or two couples. The Ocean Club (Kathy & Pua are amazing!) is a real gem that adds value to any stay at Hali’i Kai. We only wished that the Ocean Club opened earlier/closed later.

This was the most well stocked VRBO we have ever stayed at. Loved the boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers etc. Kitchen was also so well stocked and I was pleased they had plastic cups for the kids. Set up was perfect for our family of 4 with two separate beds for my kids who don't sleep well in the same bed. The pool area was lovely with great ocean views. We loved our stay and would happily stay again.
