About this property
Summary:
Watch outriggers, surfers, and canoes move across Holualoa Bay while breakfast is still on the lanai. This oceanfront, 806-square-foot Kona condo sleeps up to six across two bedrooms and three beds, with two baths, a full kitchen, and a private washer and dryer for the practical side of a beach trip. Spend the day at Magic Sands Beach Park or Pahoehoe Beach Park, each about a mile away, then come home for the shared outdoor pool and hot tub. Ali'i Drive makes it easy to head north toward Kailua Village for a waterfront dinner and a walk through town. With a west-facing lanai built for ocean watching, this is a lovely fit for a family that wants the Big Island right outside the door. Bring the kids, bring the sunscreen, and let the view carry the rest.
The Space:
The west-facing lanai is the heart of this home, with a direct look over Holualoa Bay for coffee, dinner, and a front-row view of Kona's ocean traffic. Inside, two bedrooms, three beds, and two baths give up to six guests room to spread out. Ceiling fans, a full kitchen, and a private washer and dryer keep the days comfortable and uncomplicated between beach outings.
Guest Access:
Guests at Kona Bali Kai enjoy access to the shared pool and hot tub, plus an elevator and garage parking. The grounds feature gardens and beach front views, with ocean access and outdoor seating available for guests to enjoy between excursions.
The Neighborhood:
Along Ali'i Drive on Kailua-Kona's sunny west coast, Kona Bali Kai gives you an easy rhythm of surf, beach time, and town evenings. Magic Sands Beach Park and Pahoehoe Beach Park are each about a mile away for sand, tide pools, and an ocean dip, while Lyman's surf break is less than a half mile from the complex. Head a couple of miles north to historic Kailua Village for waterfront restaurants, shops, and an evening stroll. It is a strong base for families and couples who want the Pacific close and downtown Kona within easy reach.
Getting Around:
A rental car is the easiest way to explore the Kona Coast at your own pace. Ali'i Drive connects this area with Kailua-Kona, beach parks, dining, and shops. Check your reservation details for parking information and plan on a car for flexible access to beaches and day trips.

This condo was immaculate, beautiful, and in an insanely beautiful location on the ocean! We looked forward to watching the surfers from the lanai with our morning coffee every day. Definitely one of the highlights of this place! The main bedroom on the ocean side was super comfy and large with the ocean breezes and sounds to lull you to sleep, and controllable by opening or closing the large sliding glass door. The small bedroom on the street side was comfortable enough - nice bed and bedding, large dresser, nicely decorated, closet with plenty of hangers. The street noise was the only issue. And closing the louvered glass windows was not enough to dampen it. Earplugs will do the trick though so don’t let that deter you. There was plenty of covered parking available with the parking pass; the kitchen was well-appointed with tons of dinnerware and small appliances for everything you need; plenty towels and enough supplies to get you started, plus there’s a small store right across the street to buy any little things you might need. We ended up going into town to buy salt, pepper, and cooking oil as they were not provided but it wasn’t a big deal. We loved every minute of our stay here and would not hesitate to do it again!
We’ve stayed in quite a few rental condos and this was definitely one of the nicest. It was exceptionally clean, the linens were fresh, and we had everything we needed. It was quite large and spacious. The view was superb. I spent hours on the balcony watching the waves and surfers. We were steps from the beach and enjoyed sitting in the clear, warm water.
The location is great!! The view is fantastic! The layout of the home didn’t offer a lot of privacy but everything else makes up for it. The beach supplies we could borrow were amazing! We had a great time and would love to come stay again.
For whatever reason the primary bath’s shower was not connected to cold water. Older layout/design style offers little privacy in the primary bedroom. The condo was completely stocked with every beach item you could think of, it was absolutely fantastic!! Chairs, snorkels, pfd’s for a variety of sizes, boogie boards, a surfboard!! I even saw sand toys and a cooler. The price at the time of our booking was fantastic- we were able to stay a few more days with how this fit into our budget. Vacasa isn’t my fav booking group, but the local front desk staff were fantastic! (Vacasa allows 3 trash bags for a booking of 5 people & 7 days, but local staff had extras for us.)
The stay was exceptional. It was evident that the owner takes great pride in maintaining the property, as their thoughtfulness was apparent in the welcome gift, updated amenities, and additional items for their guests to enjoy, such as snorkel gear, beach chairs, coolers, umbrellas, and beach toys. It was clear that the owner has taken meticulous care of the property. Sitting out on the lanai watching the surfers, the sea turtles, and the waves crashing on the rocks is a relaxing experience.
The condo is right in the ocean.
Property was right on the beach. You could watch surfers every day from the deck and enjoy the watching the waves. There were a lot of close by activities.
We enjoyed staying in this unit. It was close enough to downtown Kona for shopping, eating, and tours, yet far enough away to be out of the hustle and bustle of the centre of town. We loved having the lanai so close to the water. It was great for sunsets, and relaxing listening to the waves. We even got to see a traditional Hawaiian memorial one day and a surf completion another day! The condo had everything we needed, had plenty of room and was quiet.
The best view of the world at your doorsteps!
Beautiful home, only downside is there’s no AC
Lots of items need attention. Smoking from other condo personnel was an issue. Internet connection was also an issue.
Only stayed one night - waiting for another place to open up. But... after staying here one night I wished my entire stay would have been here. Location is great. Unit was right on the water. Beautiful view of the Ocean. Good spot for swimming and snorkeling. I would definitely stay here again - next time for my entire trip.
