About this property

Oceanfront Luxury Villa atHalii Kai 12D~Best Ocean Views!

È Komo Mai! We are pleased to welcome and invite you to stay in our oceanfront villa in Waikoloa Beach Resort on the Big Island. You will feel relaxed and inspired in our Hawaiian island retreat. Hali’i Kai is the only true oceanfront complex in Waikoloa and offers the most spectacular views along the prestigious Kohala Coast.

Our vacation home is one of the most beautifully decorated homes in the resort and was selected by the developer, Centex Destination Properties, to feature on their website (Ho'oulu model).

LOCATION: Our villa, Unit 12D, is an upper-level corner unit and the largest two-bedroom floorplan. We are located in one of the best buildings in the entire complex. Building 12 is both oceanfront and on the golf course with dramatic views of the ocean, splashing blowholes, lava rock, lush green grass and swaying palm trees. You will enjoy a prime oceanfront location with unobstructed panoramic views of the Pacific from every room (a rarity in this project) and the Beach Course’s famous 12th hole along the ocean’s edge.

VILLA INTERIOR: This two-bedroom villa is our special island retreat that reflects our love for Hawai’i. The interior was professionally decorated by one of the islands’ most talented interior designers resulting in a resort-quality vacation home. You will feel welcomed in true Aloha Spirit as you enter our villa. The furnishings and artwork incorporate the surrounding nature and Hawaiian culture.

Our home features a beautiful and richly-appointed living room, large flat-screen television, HD-DVR recorder and DVD player, dining table for six and a fully-stocked gourmet kitchen with granite counters, stainless-steel appliances and African Mahogany cabinetry. Off the living room is a spacious lanai with your own BBQ grill, large dining table and comfortable seating to gaze at magnificent ocean and sunset views.

The master bedroom includes a king-size bed with luxurious bedding, wall-mounted television and DVD player. The master bathroom features two-sink granite counter, large walk-in shower and deep bathtub to soak away your cares. Two queen-size beds with rich bed linens are found in the second bedroom along with antique furniture pieces accenting the room, a desk, and an armoire holding a television and DVD player. The guest bathroom is decorated in Big Island style with a full bath, shower and two-sink granite counter. An assortment of island scented bath products are provided.

For your convenience, our home offers a laundry room with full-size washer/dryer, full assortment of bath and beach towels, iron/ironing boards and laundry supplies. High-speed WiFi internet access is included at no charge.

AMENITIES: You are just steps away from the Hali’i Kai Ocean Club, an oceanfront clubhouse featuring dramatic ocean views, a large multi-level swimming pool with a waterfall, heated sandy-bottom lava rock spa, aqua loungers and kids’ pool with a spraying turtle. At the private Ocean Club, you will enjoy all the luxury amenities of a first-rate resort with a poolside restaurant and bar, outdoor covered dining and lounge areas, resort quality bathroom facilities, ocean-side exercise cabana and Hali’i Kai’s concierge services. The atmosphere is private and tranquil. The outdoor BBQ area is just steps from the villa for those of you that savor the preparation of a BBQ meal while experiencing a glorious sunset over the ocean.

LOCAL AREA & ATTRACTIONS: Hali’i Kai is situated on a magical site with humpback whales (Kohola) commonly seen frolicking directly off the shoreline during whale season, crashing waves, the azure blue Pacific coastline and the backdrop of sunrises over Mauna Kea. From the Ocean Club, take an easy scenic five-minute stroll on the 'Trail by the Sea' (Ala Kahakai) to the Hilton Waikoloa Village. You can then walk or board a water taxi or tram to several excellent restaurants, the Dolphin Quest lagoon or Kohala Spa.

Our villa is perfect for a memorable family vacation, romantic honeymoon or relaxing getaway. Spend your days partaking in Hali’i Kai’s onsite amenities or enjoy the nearby activities in the Waikoloa Beach Resort, including Anaeho’omalu Bay, two 18-hole championship golf courses, King’s Shop, Queen’s Marketplace, two world class spas, luau shows, assortment of restaurants, and walking tours through petroglyph fields. At Anaeho’omalu Bay, visitors sunbathe on the beach and swim, snorkel, scuba and windsurf in the bay. Watch sea turtles (Honu) swim right up to your feet and observe the variety of wildlife in the beautifully-preserved ancient Hawaiian fishponds.

We look forward to sharing our Hali’i Kai villa with you and hope you will experience the same feeling of awe-inspiring joy and appreciation for the surrounding beauty of the Big Island.

Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa

Sure gonna miss that view!

Like most reviewers indicated, the views from the lanai are spectacular! We spent a lot of time out there sipping our morning coffee, watching the golfers, enjoying the ocean views...and then watching the sunsets later. The location is great, near the ocean club on the property and not far from Kings and Queens shops. We enjoyed the Hilton property next door too, watching the dolphins and turtles, grabbing a coffee or a bite to eat. The unit was very spacious and well appointed. Great communications with the owner (Kathy) in advance. We stay at vacation rentals quite a bit and we absolutely loved this place!

This must be one of the best units in the entire complex! Comfortably furnished, nicely appointed, amazing view. Convenient location right near the Ocean Club, which is one of the nicest community pool/spa/fitness/bar amenities that we have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Kathy was pleasant and responsive.

Place was amazing. Clean, nice decor and the kitchen had all the amenities a person could ask for. Great view of the ocean and golf course. Right next to the Ocean Club which had great food and drinks and all the better to be able to enjoy them by the pool as well. This place will not disappoint. We can't wait to go back!

Great Stay

I can’t say enough good things about our recent stay. The condo is exactly as advertised. The view of the ocean and golf course is spectacular. We enjoyed many hours on the lanai watching the golfers, the ocean and spotting whales. The kitchen had almost everything one might need to prepare meals. The washer/dryer was used often as well. We are already planning on returning to this unit.

Nice Location, Great View

This property is "as listed". Check in / out simple. Very well appointed kitchen, bathrooms well stocked. The pool, bar, gym and restaurant are a just across the parking lot. View from lanai is outstanding. The design of condo is fantastic, bedrooms on opposite ends of unit. Beds were very comfortable, entire complex was silent at night. We spent nearly every night on lanai watching sunset and enjoying breeze off Ocean. Had a 5 star vacation, would highly recommend.

ocean view not to be beat

The property was wonderful. The location close to Ocean Club with a gorgeous view of the ocean from the balcony could not have been better. The condo was beautifully decorated and the best outfitted vocational rental we have ever had. The management team was responsive and owner Kathy made sure we had all information we needed, including a way to contact her if needed (it was not needed). The ocean club was fantastic and we enjoyed many snacks and meals there- the food was delicious and we loved the staff. We saw whales more than one day from the pool area. The location within the resort is great with shopping and restaurants close by. I loved the Halii Kai resort and this unit in particular. We would be thrilled to stay here on another trip.

Above and beyond

Our family of 4 visited the Big island for the first time over Christmas week and hands down it was one of our favorite vacations to date. It will be challenging to keep this brief, but I’ll start by saying simply that Kathy’s unit at Hali’i Kai was perfect for our needs. First of all, Hali’i Kai is one of the nicest—if not THE nicest—complexes in all of Waikoloa. Unit 12D in particular is one of a kind given: 1. its close (but not uncomfortably close) proximity to the Ocean Club pool, restaurant, and fitness center and 2. the unobstructed view of the ocean. The Ocean Club is exclusively for the use of Hali’i Kai residents and guests so it never feels crowded. The restaurant menu is varied enough to suit most palates and the cocktail and smoothie offerings were more than enough for the adults and kids in our party. The exercise hale faces the majestic Pacific Ocean and even has 2 peloton bikes! The club and the unit are both perched on a cliff adjacent to a golf course and directly facing the ocean so the sunsets and whale watching are 2nd to none. The lava rock walking path that meanders for miles along the coastline is also steps from the unit and leads to the busier hotel areas of Waikoloa where there are additional restaurants and activities. The unit itself is so comfortable and quiet with an ideally outfitted kitchen, smart tv with streaming services, efficient A/C unit, washer/dryer, and plenty of storage. The bathrooms are stocked with high end Hawaiian bath products and the water pressure is impressive. Beds and linens are so comfortable and the 2 bedrooms are situated on opposite sides of the condo for those who desire privacy. Hali’i Kai is also less than 5 minutes driving to both Waikoloa shopping centers (kings and queens) which both have everything you might need for your stay plus a lot of extras. Kathy is a wonderfully kind and responsive host as is the property manager. Our flight home was delayed and we were able to have several extra hours of access to the pool and unit which absolutely saved us. We had lot of of plans to explore and recreate across the island, but the condo, ocean club, nearby amenities, and beaches kept us as active and well fed as we desired. I guess we’ll have to come back! Mahalo, Kathy!

Beautiful view - awe inspiring sunsets.

The condo is exactly as advertised with the most incredible sunset views from your corner lanai. Watching morning golfers against a backdrop of green and blue - just zen! Location was close to several amazing beaches, shopping and the best fresh fish market. (Oceanfish) We enjoyed all the conveniences of home with this well-appointed ‘home away from home’. It was perfect for a relaxing vacation!
