Perfect Recharge
We’ve stayed at a number of properties at Hali’i Kai, but never 7F. We keep coming back to the resort for the beauty, the quiet, the amenities, the services and its ability to always reset our priorities. The townhome is now top of our list for future stays. It’s impeccably maintained, stocked to the gills with all requisite goodies, all things work as they should and the owners are extremely responsive. We loved every minute of our stay and returned to our “real” lives refreshed, recharged and ready to plan our next adventure.

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!

Big Island Paradise
The townhouse exceeded our expectations. It was spacious and comfortable and provided everything we needed (plus more!). The location was convenient to all the fabulous beaches as well as the airport and Kona. We used all of the provided beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, mats, towels, cooler, snorkel gear). This was a huge perk especially when we saw the cost of renting gear. The sunsets were beautiful. We enjoyed walking along the coastal path around the Hilton property Nextdoor (and visiting the dolphins). The pool and Ocean Club were a nice way to end the evening as well. The owners were very attentive and quick to respond to our questions. We would definitely stay here again.

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.
