13A in Hali'i Kai is an EXCEPTIONAL unit! The oceanside location where you can watch the waves crash against the lava, or a leasurely sail-boat glide by and proximity to the clubhouse (right-next door) was ideal and quite lovely. Make sure you go to the clubhouse at sunset to enjoy a fruity beverage and listen to the gentleman blow on a conch shell as the sun sets (Which is beautiful over the ocean!).
This particular unit had two full-sized bedrooms and bathroom with a daybed in the 2nd bedroom for a kid if you wanted. This unit was SPARKLY clean. I also appreciated the full-size washer and dryer, and high-end appliances (Sub-zero/Wolf) as we were able to have several meals in the home. Parking is right in front of the unit's garage.
A couple of amenities available through staying at 13A in Hali'i Kai is reduced fees on both the King's Golf Course and Beach Golf Course (7th hole is right next to the Hali'i Kai clubhouse). The golf course are perhaps a 1/2 mile from this unit. Also on the Waikoloa Resort (where Hali'i Kai is located) are two large national hotels with their amenities (restaurants), public beaches, two shopping areas (which includes restaurants and a grocery story), a nifty restaurant called Lava Lava that is right on the beach and has a killer Mai Tai rail (try it). Waikoloa is also very close to Waikoloa Village which has a grocery store, more golf, and a post office for anything you buy and want to mail home. Lastly Waikoloa Resort is about 30 minutes from Kona which has the following mainland conveniences --- COSTCO (gas was 74 cents cheaper here), Target, WalMart, and a lovely beach downtown which is very walkable and has awesome views of the ocean and beaches! I'd also recommend checking out some of the farms in the area to see how coffee, vanilla & even how macadamia nuts are grown. To see Kilauea Volcano, the National Park is back open, but to get closer to the recent eruption lava, get a helicopter tour!
This was a lovely location and vacation - we will be back!
