About this property
Summary:
Wake to an ocean view through the palms, cross the street to Banyans Beach for a surf check, then come back to your lanai for sunset. This updated, second-floor Kona Bali Kai studio sleeps four across two beds and gives a small family or friends an easy, beach-close place to land. Air conditioning, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and island-inspired decor make the compact space feel polished and practical. The complex has an outdoor pool, hot tub, oceanfront picnic area with gas grills across the road, laundry room, and free parking, with a Kona trolley stop nearly out front. Pāhoehoe Beach Park is three-quarters of a mile away, Magic Sands is about a mile, and Kona town is two miles north. A smart choice for travelers who want Banyans surf and real ocean views woven into the trip.
The Space:
This 417-square-foot, second-floor studio sleeps four across two beds and has one bath. Air conditioning keeps the updated interior comfortable, while granite countertops and stainless steel appliances brighten the kitchen. The private lanai looks toward the ocean through palms, giving you a natural spot for coffee or a sunset drink. The complex also has a shared pool, hot tub, and laundry room.
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:
Kona Bali Kai sits along Ali'i Drive on Kailua-Kona's sunny coast, close to Banyans Beach and the surf breaks that give this stretch its local energy. Magic Sands Beach Park is about a mile away, with Pāhoehoe Beach Park roughly three-quarters of a mile in the other direction from the complex. Da Poke Shack is nearby for a casual local meal, and the road leads north toward Kona town's shops, harbor, and sunset walks. Kahalu'u Beach Park is farther south for snorkeling. It is an easy base for couples and families who want to make the beach part of every day, not a special outing.
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.

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described, clean and near everything. Hosts were quick to respond to inquiries and helped beforehand to make plans. We loved our stay.
Great place to stay !!!!
Clean, well appointed, great location!
The site of this place is in a good spot where you are two miles from the pier and a mile away from little beaches to enjoy. From the room you can hear the waves crashing. There were multiple amenities available within the kitchen compared to other vacation stays. One issue were ants in the kitchen and crawling on the bed frame. Good thing there was ant spray but no other cleaning supplies to clean up after the counters.
Kitchen was fine. Pool to far away. Unable to use lanai door wood not open. Upsetting.
The condo is well kept with plenty of bedding, towels, and cooking equiment. The internet connection supported multiple devices without issue. There is a wonderful farmers market across the street. Check in and checkout were easier than staying at a large chain hotel.
Great property if you are looking to explore and not just spend time in the room or pool. Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with appropriate utensils. TV with lots of internet options. Lanai, small and faces street, which is busy during the day but quiet at night. Just chairs and side table, but we ate meals out there. Peak a boo view of the ocean. Beach property across the street great for evening cocktail and watching sunset. Parking convenient. Second floor, no elevator. Communication with Vacasa desk across the street, great!! Not so much luck with sending message through Verbo app. Unhelpful!! Don’t waste your time. Only 2 miles from Kailua Bay and 1 mile from Magic Sands, so great, if you like to walk, or take free shuttle which runs hourly up and down Ali’i Drive. Overall, pleased with our selection. I would recommend.
Overall an enjoyable place to stay. I would recommend!
Loved Da Poke right across the street and the pool and hot tub and the sunsets. Good location and nice price for location.
This place was pretty clean and a convenient location. Wish I knew they had all the beach equipment including 2 snorkel sets as we spent money renting those. We never did check out Bantans beach but the pool area was nice and right by Da Poke restaurant which was amazing. Very small peekaboo view of beach but not far to walk across and view sunsets and beach. Close to downtown Kona.
Very clean and good location.
Great location, close to our favorite beaches
Very clean. Location is very convenient. Love that the parking is easy and assessable. Especially love that there is beach gear that we can use which made our trip even better since we were exploring. Would stay here again. The pool is located across the street in the other unit complex. Not complicated at all but it’s not in the same area.
The place is modern, clean and well located. We rented a car, so quite easy to go to Kona or beaches around. We were in building 6, just need to cross the street to have access to the pool and amazing sunset
Very very clean and comfortable. Well-equipped kitchen, huge fridge, coffee maker, comfy bed, beach towels, air conditioner, close to free trolley to town or beaches, and easy parking.
The ocean spot was really nice. Nice lanai and just a nice condo overall.
