My husband and I are visiting Kona for the second time. We enjoyed staying in the condo and relaxing listening to the crashing waves.
The view from the condo balcony was amazing! Carpet needs replacing and bed is a little hard, but we were not here long enough for that to matter too much! Kitchen is well stocked.
We enjoyed our stay here for part of our Hawaii honeymoon!
My stay was a delightful Hawaiian escape. The highlight is the huge lanai, perched right on the ocean, where waves crash dramatically against lava rocks below. This spacious patio was my go-to spot for morning coffee, soaking in Pacific views, or unwinding to the ocean’s soothing rhythm. It’s an unbeatable front-row seat to Kona’s coastal beauty.The condo’s screen doors allow one to enjoy the crash of the surf all night adding charm to the stay. While the interior feels slightly dated and could benefit from a modern refresh, it’s clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The full kitchen, cable TV, and ceiling fans met all our needs, and the king-size bed ensured restful nights. The open layout maximizes ocean views, blending indoor comfort with the stunning surroundings.Access to shared amenities—heated pool, hot tub, and BBQ area—elevated the experience. Nearby beaches, shopping, and dining in Kailua-Kona were easily accessible, yet the lanai’s serenity kept us anchored. The vibrant sunsets and starry nights left us refreshed.The oceanfront lanai and relaxed vibe made this a memorable retreat. We left recharged and eager to return.
All was overall good, the bathrooms and lanai furniture could use little tlc, but not a big deal, just a suggestion.
Clean, well supplied kitchen, great balcony area for dining and sunrise and sunset
Listing photos are not updated and do not entirely correspond with reality. Views to the ocean are great. In all our stays in Hawaii (Maui, Kauai, Oahu) we always had beach chairs and light umbrella, not in this one which was by the way the most expensive of all.
This is a comfortable functional space with an amazing view and location. If you want fancy frills go to Waikaloa. To experience Kona with a focus on nature and real Aloha spirit I recommend this property. Poke Bar onsite but get there early cuz once the fresh catch is gone they close! BBQ on the beach watch the sunset. Wake up to turtles sunning on the lava rocks. Just far enough away from the hustle of north alii dr. (Stay away for the tourists).
We have stayed at Kona Bali Kai several times before , really like everything thing about it. The other units had been updated. This unit is in definite need of an update. In the future we will look for one of the other units.
We were 3 and our stay was wonderful. The view is amazing! I really appreciated the washer-dryer combo. One thing to note is that the building does not have an elevator. We had to walk up and down to the 3rd floor.
Great location and views. Property really needs updates/upgrades as it's aged and worn (furniture, carpet, bed). Of most concern was that the floors were dirty. I would recommend upgrading the carpet to hard surface flooring.
