Great . We found the unit as advertised. Clean, spacious, and with a full ocean view. The kitchen was well appointed. Very pleased
The views are spectacular, the room very comfortable. So many things to do and everyone was very friendly. I have enjoyed it so much I really don’t want it to end here, but we have another island to go to.
We’ve been to this island several times but our first time at Kona Bali Kai. The building shows a little age but the views and location are unbeatable. The condo was well suited for us, top floor, we actually appreciated the lack of AC as we had screen doors and fans to keep it cool and enjoy the sound of the ocean for 10 days & nights. Easy parking, good BBQ access (although the BBQ’s could use a little love-clean and plenty of propane but one burned super slow and 2 were turbo blasters!) Good responsiveness from the prop managers VaCasa when the front screen door didn’t work on our arrival and was fixed the next morning. Some beach gear avail but kinda showed some wear and we had to buy beach chairs but hopefully the next visitors will enjoy them! Overall, a real winner that we will be pleased to return to in the future.
Overall, we loved our stay here. The Lanai overlooking the ocean makes this place a true gem! The best sunsets, surfers, boats, turtles and fish in the tide pools below. There is no AC here, but all the fans and the screen doors open made it very comfortable. The sound of the ocean is literally all you can hear. This place is quiet and calm. We loved our stay. We had just a few minor issues and Vacasa was very responsive. I had heard negative things about Vacasa, but we had a great experience with them. The complimentary laundry pods and Hawaiian snacks were a nice touch. We will be back!
You cannot get a better view from a balcony. The open and sunset is right there! The condo was clean and well furnished. 5 min. drive to restaurants. Code to get in was hard to use.
About 40' from the shoreline, with sweeping views. To the left we watched surfers, who were there from before sunup to after sundown. Saw whales out front. Fabulous sunsets. We ate takeout for dinner each night on the lanai, because no restaurant had a better view than we did. Because there is no beach (see host's photo of lava rocks), there isn't a beach full of sunbathers in front of you. Dine inside or out on the lanai.Everything was modern and in good shape (except the sliding screen, which needs some WD 40), with many wonderful features: comfortable bed, comfortable lanai chairs for sitting and gazing at the ocean, and well-equipped kitchen. Many small helpful small features: grab bars in the bathrooms, marble tile shower floor (which are not slippery), coffee bean grinder, ice maker, toaster, microwave, blender, wine bucket (we used it twice), nightlights, coffee maker with filters (and the first day's Kona coffee), among many small features.
Very nice place but it doesn’t have air conditioning, which it didn’t say that in the description it just says has ceiling fans. It was very hot at night.
What a view! Beautiful property in a great location. The view from the deck is spectacular!
I would highly recommend this property. It was clean, comfortable and in a wonderful location. The highlight was sitting on the lanai, enjoying the view and the surfers. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
This condo on the 4th floor had the most amazing view of the ocean enabling us to enjoy spectacular sunsets every evening. We had everything we needed, and the bed and couch were comfortable. We also appreciated the full size body wash, shampoo & conditioner as well as the extra towels. Also, the location was very convenient, close to several beaches, markets, and restaurants. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.
The view was awesome. Beautiful sunsets over the ocean.
We’ve been to Kona many times and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. Love the ocean side bedroom to listen to the waves. Condo was as pictured and very comfortable bed. We would stay there again
Absolutely loved this condo. I have stayed at the Kona Bali Kai before and this condo has the best view and best location. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, the place was updated and had every amenity we needed. We couldn’t hear any of our neighbors so we could just relax and enjoy the view. Two mornings we watched turtles grazing on the algae from the lanai! The condo itself is in a good location, little south of the main downtown area so nice balance of traffic and people. Can’t wait to come back and stay here again!
Loved hearing the waves at night while I slept!! View couldn’t be better!
Great value, especially for Hawaii on the 4th floor above the beach and falling asleep to the Waves, looking out at the endless ocean horizon.
We appreciate property management being on site although we did not need it.
Stay was great
Lanai and view was the best !!!!
Can’t beat the location of this property/unit; right on the water, lovely large lanai to enjoy both early morning coffee (and surfers) and gorgeous sunsets in the evening. Loved being on the 4th floor and leaving our sliders open to hear the surf. The unit has had some renovations, the kitchen is upgraded and well stocked, the two bathrooms have new tile showers and vanity counters. Not a fan of carpet in rentals, if I was really being picky I would say that it was not nice in the bedroom.
Didn’t use the pool but many in the complex did and seemed to enjoy. The only complaint I would have was the community bbq, only two of the burners worked so only used it the one time. Would I stay again, absolutely!
The view, actually saw whales, watched the surfers, great sunsets from the patio.
Although unit was a little dated, we enjoyed the spectacular views and location of this property. It is truly oceanfront!! We enjoyed amazing sunsets every night. The lanai was well equipped with table, chairs and lounge chairs (all padded). We also loved that there were beach umbrellas, beach chairs, towels and mats. There was also snorkel equipment which we did not use. The kitchen is well equipped with dishes, pots, pans, and utensils, but be aware that there is nothing else such as condiments etc. just buy what you need for your stay. There is a coffee maker with some coffee to start out with, but you will need to buy that also. We loved that there is a washer/dryer and dishwasher with complementary detergent pods. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!! We will definitely be back!!!
The sound of the waves and amazing sunsets! Quiet location, but just a quick drive to town or great beaches.

This place was amazing! We spend our 10th anniversary here and it was so nice. The view was incredible. It was so quiet and homey, didn’t even notice other people staying there, was not loud like a resort. Didn’t have AC so remember that but we loved this place. Would stay here again! Thank you so much for renting this out. Literally amazing. Waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing right outside your window, watching the surfers every morning, just can’t beat it. Thank you thank you!

Watching the ocean from our lanai was the best part of the property.
We had a wonderful stay!

The condo was just as described. It is in a great location. On the ocean side of the building we heard no traffic noise- just the rolling surf. The tide pools were fun. We had a great time

The view from the condo is amazing. We were right on the ocean and enjoyed the sound of the waves. It was obvious that some major renovation had taken place recently as the kitchen and bathrooms looked like new. The access to the lanai was made difficult by stubborn sliding glass doors and screens, so some maintenance is required. Overall it was a wonderful stay.
