Really can not beat the beachfront, especially for the price. Hard to complain about some rust and bugs, that’s just Hawaii. Amazing view, convenient location. Roadside rooms are very loud though, not much can be done about that though. Third time staying in this complex, would absolutely stay in this unit again!

It’s our second time staying at this condo and it was just as good as the first time. The condo is clean, has everything you need and is nicely decorated. The view is wonderful! Check-in was easy. Hopefully we can stay again in the future.

This lovely condo is on the beach, in good condition with 3 bedrooms big kitchen, living room & impressive balcony with easy access to local town. Two homeless people slept in front of our front door at midnight one night over night … however our host immediately corrected this for the remaining nights. Scott

Our family stayed here for a week with my in-laws and our teenage son. We really enjoyed our stay here at Kona Bali Kai. The condo was fully equipment with everything we needed. The views and ocean sounds were absolutely stunning and amazing. We loved waking up each morning enjoying a cup of coffee on the Lani and watching the surfers. The sunsets are breath taking right from the lani or private beach. We would stay here again! Clean and tidy.

The view off of the balcony is amazing and it was fun to watch the surfers. They had a competition while we were there and used a blow horn frequently.
This unit needs some attention, it is very used and dated. First of all this unit has NO air conditioning. I missed that somehow. The west sun pounds into the Master and bathroom (which has no window covering- it is a louvered window with 1/2 of them not able to adjust They have obscure covering, but it doesn't help with sun ). You need to have the windows open all the time, and the ocean breaking is quite loud (which we didn't mind). The bedrooms all had ceiling fans and box fans, which we used non-stop.
The master bath has a lot of corrosion on handles and faucet. The window framing in the shower/toilet room has had a lot of water damage, and it looks like they caulked it up and painted over it. The master sliding door is hard to close, and if you do it won't open again without practically lifing the whole door up. (My husband had to yank it open)
Kitchen sink is very stained and gross. They gave us soap, a new sponge, hand soap and dishwashing tabs and few garbage bags. There was plastic wrap, and little foil in drawers. There are NO left spices or items (like olive oil) from previous renters. Not even salt & pepper. Refrigerator does have ice maker that kept up pretty well. Unmarked key on counter is for the unheated pool - it's cold!
I would not stay in that unit again.

If this condo were any closer it would be in the water. Beautiful views of the surfers and magnificent sunsets. The condo had everything we needed for five adults and the management was fantastic. Got a call that the condo was ready for early check-in and got a call the next day just checking to see if everything was ok. Highly recommend this condo.

Loved listening to the waves as I slept. 10 minutes south of the middle of town, and easy to get to and from. BIG kitchen, so it was easy to cook for ourselves. Definitely a good location for a family!

Comfortable apartment that has all necessary amenities, needs some TLC for windows and doors to make them easy to open/close and for sound proofing. It's great to have such a nice view of the ocean, but the close proximity means the apartment is quite loud when the doors and windows are open. Communication with company was prompt and efficient, and we used the excursion service which saved a lot of time and hassle.

Loved the location. It was a fun place to watch people surf. For the price, we enjoyed it and would book it again. We just really wish they had some basic pantry items and an outdoor shower so we could rinse before we entered the unit.
