About this property

Summary:

Take your coffee to the oceanfront lanai and watch the famous Banyan surf break wake up below. This remodeled penthouse sleeps up to six across two bedrooms, four beds, and two baths, with air conditioning, high ceilings, a full kitchen, and a private washer and dryer. The Pacific is your constant companion here, while Magic Sands Beach Park and Pahoehoe Beach Park are about a mile away when the family wants sand underfoot. Cool off in the shared outdoor pool or settle into the shared hot tub after the beach. Kailua Village is a couple of miles north for dinner by the water. This is the Kona stay for a family that wants an elevated view, room to spread out, and an oceanfront setting that never feels like an afterthought.

The Space:

High ceilings, cool wood flooring, and a remodeled interior give this two-bedroom penthouse a clean, open feel. Four beds and two baths work well for up to six guests, while air conditioning and the private washer and dryer make family travel simpler. The new kitchen is ready for casual meals, but the spacious oceanfront lanai is where you will want to eat, with Banyan surf break views and Kona sunsets in front of you.

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.

Other Things to Note:

The pool and hot tub are in the main complex of Kona Bali Kai. Stays over 28 nights may be eligible for a fee waiver. This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

Interaction with Guests:

Our local Heavenly Vacations Hawaii Island team is just a call or message away throughout your stay. From Kona sunsets to Volcano adventures, we love sharing our favorite places to enjoy on the Big Island, and we are here to help right away should any issue arise. We respect your privacy and are here whenever you need us.

Love that the unit was the top floor and had a great view of the ocean and sunset, and was not in the hustle and bustle of the city

We stayed for a month at this condo and the view is just everything! Surfers almost every morning and evening depending on the weather! We also very much enjoyed the tide pools in front of the condo which are full of so many fish, eels and even Sea tortoises! The condo is very nicely located close to most everything including the Poke Shack, a small farmer's market on weekends and a bigger one just down the road that is open almost every day. Downtown Kona is a short drive away and many other sights not much farther. The only criticism I would have of this place was the kitchen did not have any basic essentials we have seen at other places we have stayed (S&P, Sugar, some spices, etc) so we had to purchase those for cooking. Also no portable beach chairs. Nice ones on the grounds but none to take along to a beach. We left the ones we purchased. Over all a great place though!! We would stay again!

Loved this condo!! This oceanfront unit was perfect for our stay in Kona! The sound of the waves, the remarkable sunsets, and great location make this unit one would definitely book again, and highly recommend to others. The in-unit washer and dryer were so convenient, and the unit had everything we needed for our stay. Mahalo!

Really enjoyed the place with the close proximity to the ocean. Falling asleep with the waves crashing right next to us was very soothing.

The room was cute and clean. We loved the large lanai but the bugs were fairly intense, so we couldn't stay out their long or even enjoy the screen doors because the bugs came inside. Some of the screens were not well sealed and we found three cockroaches on our things that we had to collect and take outside. Having one a/c unit in the whole condo really didn't work for us. We had every fan blowing but it wasn't enough to cool the place down. We purposefully got a room with this layout so we could close doors and give privacy, but with only one a/c, we weren't able to close doors. The view from the lanai was amazing, and we enjoyed watching the surfers. We explored the lava rocks on the shore and enjoyed the views. We did not use the pool and the elevator was fairly slow. Loved the lending library on each floor.

This condo was so great! We loved the lanai- and watching the surfers and sunsets. Da Poke Shack is located right in the complex and it was so yummy! It was quiet, clean and the condo provided plenty of fans if you didn’t want to use the AC. The front room gets really hot- but that is my only complaint.

This condo was an awesome home-base for our family vacation. The view from the lanai was unbeatable - one of the main reasons we booked it - and it was all exactly as we had hoped. We appreciated the extra attention to detail with the decor in this unit and the higher-end appliances and furniture.

My wife and I brought our 3 boys (ages 12, 14 & 15) for a week and rented this place. The views from the balcony were amazing. The inside was clean and exactly as described. Having the washer and dryer were a bonus. It was not too far from town and was an easy drive to anywhere I. Kona. We would definitely stay here again if given the opportunity.

The room was so beautifully decorated, loved the furniture, felt like home, very comfortable. Ocean front views beyond amazing and watching the surfers, very fun, entertaining. I would definitely book this room again.

Beautiful views from this fourth floor condo. Grounds are well kept, and has covered private parking, a convenient elevator, pool and hot tub, though the building itself is showing some signs of age, as the parking area appears to be under some renovation or structural repair. Condo was well appointed, and came with an assortment of recreation items and beach needs. Surfers and boogie boarding off the adjacent beach, but not ideal for swimming or snorkeling, however, several better beaches are nearby.

We loved this condo!! The view was amazing and we could see the sunset from the lanai! Our first night there was the best sunset then entire trip and we got some amazing pictures! The location was convenient close enough to town to find great food and shopping. It was a 2 hour drive to VNP and about 1 1/2 drive to Hilo. Loved that we could go down to the water and even found some turtles on a few days. Only 1 minor complaint - the ceiling fans/light all operated on the same remotes so if my kids went to bed early and we didn't turn off the light in the master then we would turn on their light and master light would go off. Never figured that one out and it was a game to get all the lights off each night. Not a deal breaker for us!
