About this property

Hali'i Kai "WishWeWereHere!", Newly renovated! Oceanfront resort, gears & bikes.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Ours is the most spacious floor plan at Hali’i Kai with 1677 square feet, 1930 square feet if include the two lanais. This is a two-story Townhome with the entrance on the second floor.

You will enjoy our newly remodeled condo with One-Of-The-Kind Peru Travertine floor, Elegant-Beachy-Color scheme, and many new appliances (update photos coming soon). Our three bedrooms are well separated for privacy,1 downstairs and 2 upstairs, three bathrooms, an open concept great room with living room, dining area, kitchen and two covered lanais, one on each floor.

The gourmet kitchen is finished with tiled backsplash, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and African mahogany cabinets. The kitchen opens up to the dining and living area, making the space ideal for cooking and conversing. There are 3 bar stools at the kitchen counter and a dining table that seats six. The outdoor lanai of the dining room has an additional table for four and a gas BBQ.

The great room is furnished with an extremely comfortable L-shaped couch, a large chair, TV and a Bose Bluetooth sound system.

The upstairs master boasts a king-sized bed and its own private lanai with two chaise lounges. The ensuite master bath has dual sinks, a large soaking tub and a glass enclosed shower. There are shutters over the bathtub that open into the bedroom which allows for the outside light to filter in while you soak the day away. The additional bedroom upstairs has 2 twin beds. The 3rd bedroom is located on the bottom floor and has a queen bed. Please note that the bottom floor of our townhouse is actually the second floor of a building with NO elevator.

We have our own spacious laundry room with washer and dryer, and just about everything that you often want in the comfort of your own home.

Our townhouse is in the Coconut Grove section of the community, near the tennis court, and the basketball half-court.

PARKING: 20G has ONE-car garage that can fit a compact car, where we store 4 bicycles and our beach gear; and one reserved parking space outside. There are also open visitor parking spaces within 50 yards of the front door.

HALI’I KAI DESCRIPTION: Built on 29 acres of securely gated manicured landscape, Hali’i Kai is a Premier condo communities in Waikoloa Beach Resort and is the only one that is truly oceanfront. The list of amenities is long, but Hali’i Kai is probably best known for its private Ocean Club Pavilion. Come and see the children’s wading pool, dig your feet in the sand-bottom Jacuzzi, relax in the multi-level lagoon-style black-bottom pool, enjoy the poolside meals, snacks, and cocktails served by the Ocean Club Grill & Bar, a restaurant that is exclusive to the residents and guests of Hali’i Kai. Work out in the oceanfront clifftop fitness cabana while enjoying the island breeze and the spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean.

From this Ocean Club, you can observe dolphins frolicking year-round, and humpback whales splashing up close offshore during the months of December through April (sometimes as early as October and November.) On this same clifftop, the sunset view is sublime and the sound of waves crashing against the lava rock is intoxicatingly soothing.

DESCRIPTION OF WAIKOLOA BEACH RESORT: Waikoloa Beach Resort is world-famous and it offers just about everything that you would need to make your vacation extraordinary. There are two fabulous golf courses. The Hilton and Marriott are both within the resort and each has many things to offer.

There is no shortage of spas or restaurants, fine-dining or casual. The Queen’s Marketplace and King’s shop offer the two largest shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences on the Kohala coast. At the Queen’s Marketplace, you can find all your groceries and beverages. They even have a gourmet market where you can find meals that are ready-made. Behind the Marriott, you’ll find the Lava Lava Beach Club and Anaehoomalu Bay (better known as A-Bay), a beautiful crescent shaped public beach that offers many ocean sports for the whole family.

Within a few minutes' drive, you can enjoy the world-famous beaches such as Hapuna and Mauna Kea, or the less known and more secluded 69 Beach, a favorite of the local. The list of things to do is endless.

Amazing place to vacation!
We immensely enjoyed our stay and thought the location was perfect. It is close to some shops and numerous beaches - but also is quiet and private. The pool is great and the food at the pool was really good. The property was exactly what we hoped it would be and we appreciated all of the items in the garage; boogie boards, basketball, snorkeling gear, etc. Highly recommend!

Everything you need
House is clean and spacious. Location is ideal. While this house lacks a direct ocean view, it’s an easy walk to the pool area that has some of the best ocean views around. All of the beach supplies you could ever need are in the garage. Pickleball/tennis courts are a 2 minute walk away. Operator is great to deal with. Highly recommend.

Home away from home.
We really enjoyed our three weeks at the property. It was a great place from which to explore the island and come home to. The private residents only pool and restaurant area were so enjoyable. The Waikoloa area has so much too offer. We saw molten lava at Volcanoes National Park one day and snow on top of Mauna Kea the next. Great beaches. You can get day passes to the local resorts for a fee and the beach vendors were great. We just Love the Big Island and we will be back.

Whales and beaches!
We had a great time in Hali'i Kai 20G in January! Well-stocked kitchen and beach accessories were greatly appreciated. The Ocean Club is a great place to hang out, work out, (watch whales in the winter months) when you are not out enjoying the beaches and everything else Hawaii has to offer. Thank you Hannah for a great stay!

Amazing holiday stay
We spent the week before Christmas at Hannah’s place and it was fantastic. We’ve had the opportunity to stay at most of the condos in the Waikoloa beach area and this place was near the top. Hannah was easy to communicate with and definitely one of the best owners we’ve ever dealt with. The unit was spacious and clean. Everything was in good working order. Plenty of beach accessories were provided. Our only issue was with the Beach club. You weren’t allowed to bring in your own drinks, even water, which seems silly in such a warm setting by a pool. It’s also a bit of a walk from the condo so make sure you don’t forget anything. We will definitely put this place at the top of our list when we return.

Fantastic location and property!
Our family really enjoyed staying at Hali'i Kai 20G, it was our kids first trip to the Big Island and we brought their grandparents as well. Property was fantastic to base out of for pool, beach and road trips around the island. Well stocked kitchen allowed for easy mealtimes with kids. So many fun beach toys were also provided which was an extra plus! Owner was also very responsive when we had a bit of an issue with a bed on the first night, they got everything taken care of right away for us! We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Hawai'i! Mahalo :-)

A peaceful and tranquil vacation to the Big Island
My family and I had an absolute blast staying in Hannah's condo. She was always prompt with communication from time of booking, during our stay and through our return home. The condo itself was clean and well equipped with everything you would need for a Hawaii vacation. The bikes were great for cruising around the Waikoloa Resort and the snorkel gear came in handy for our trips to 'A' Bay and 49 Black Sand Beach. The Hali'i Kai neighborhood is quiet and well manicured. The pool (10 min walk from condo and right on the shore) is really great for kids, with multiple separated depth levels. Having a full service restaurant/bar right at the pool is very convenient. The sunsets viewed from the pool were quite spectacular. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks again, Hannah, for a great trip.

Absolutely loved our stay here!
We can't say enough great things about this place. The condo is beautiful and it had everything we needed. The welcome basket with fresh fruit was a treat. The kitchen had all we needed for cooking each day. The beds were very comfortable, the towels were really soft, and we really can't think of anything that wasn't just right. Thank you for providing the beach chairs and the bikes to ride around the area. We absolutely loved that! The weather on this side of the island was just perfect. The location was perfect for us as we hoped it would be sunny and beautiful...which it was! It didn't rain all week, but was mostly sunny the entire time. 82 degrees for the high everyday and 68-70 degrees for the low. Not sure if temps like that can be beat! What a great place to spend our vacation, just wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you Hannah...you are awesome and we highly recommend staying at your condo!

While we appreciate and are proud of our home state California, we find it busy and fast. The Big Island is our favorite place for peace and relaxation.

Why they chose this property

About our "A-We-Some-Waikoloa" properties:
We were at the Hali'i Kai's private Ocean Club Pavilion one January evening when the red sun sank quietly into the Pacific Ocean behind the swaying palms. The agitated waves crashed violently against the lava rock coastline. Breezes touched our faces, and the ocean air filled our lungs. The combination of sight and sound and smell gave us this feeling of awe that lingered in our minds. It is hard to describe how such feeling keeps us energized and yet at peace at the same time. Just the thought of returning to Hali'i Kai clears our minds and lifts our hearts. We named our place "Wish.We.Were.Here! 20G Hali'i Kai", but we could have easily called it "AlwaysOnMyMind…."
