We enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the waves crash right in front of us. There are not many places closer to water. We saw a few turtles, whales and a lot of fish from the lanai.

The condo needs some work. There are paint scrapes on a couple of walls, especially by the refrigerator, the vanity light in the common bathroom was very rusted and my brother said the mattress on the bed in the master needed replacing. Aside from being dated and needing some upkeep, it was clean and had everything we needed. The big plus is the view. Watching waves come in and surfers down the beach was good relaxing fun. Enough to make one forget about some of the imperfections inside.

View was great! Condo was equipped adequately. The host was attentive. Unfortunately we experienced an infestation that disrupted our stay. We moved to a different location. Would recommend requesting pest control records before reservation is made.

The host was amazing! Lots of boogieboards and snorkeling gear available. The location was amazing, we had breakfast every morning looking at the ocean. Even some whales joined us

We had the best time here! The lanai is fabulous! We saw about 9 whales and 14 bottle nosed dolphins one morning. Lots of surfers out there too. The amenities were so appreciated. We used the beach chairs, cooler and ice packs every day. The location is great. The bed is comfortable too! Communication was great. Thank you for all the notes and suggestions. Loved this place!

Our stay was very nice! The condo has great amenities and is well stocked with supplies and beach gear. The location on the waterfront is beautiful! Our host is an excellent communicator and responded quickly to our questions. She checked on us several times to ensure everything was going well.

Property was exactly as advertised. Directly on the waterfront, with outstanding views of the water, surfers, whales, and gorgeous sunsets. The kitchen was well stocked with needed equipment and the opportunity to use the outdoor grills was very good. They were well maintained and cleaned daily. Inside the property, the master suite was beautiful with direct views (and sounds) of the water. The guest bedroom was fine. All things considered, we had an excellent stay. The property is well situated on the island for all the activities important to us. If we decide to return to the Big Island, we would certainly consider renting this property once again.

Top floor unit steps away from the ocean. The unit was very quiet, no noise from below or from neighbors. It's a little dated, but clean and comfortable.

Great stay in Kona. The condo was clean and well appointed with everything you might need during your stay. The bed was comfortable. Easy parking underneath. It was fun watching the surfers early in the morning. Thanks Holly!

Edgar is a wonderful host! The condo is an older condo, not far from Kona town. The view from the lanai is wonderful. Whales spotted most days. It’s a little schlep from the elevator to the condo, but once you’re in, it’s 3 flights for a shorter path from the garage.The bed is comfortable, and good fans throughout. Ali drive can be noisy in the evening, but earplugs help with that. Da Poke Shack is part of the complex. Best Poke and Kailua pork plates around.

My family of 6 stayed here the 1st week of January. Mike was a terrific host! He has thought of literally everything for his guests. Plenty of cookware, dishes and even spices. Every single thing you'd want to take to the beach he has provided, including snorkeling gear which can be expensive to rent. Loved having a washer and dryer and the 2 sliding doors on the Lanai to listen to the waves all night long. Nothing beats the view and watching the sunset from there every night. Even with 6 of us there we had plenty of room to spread out and didnt feel cramped at all. I highly recommend stayed here and will definitely stay there again.

Honestly, the view makes everything else secondary, not that the condo wasn't near perfect too. The first day a full semicircle rainbow touched down in the ocean right between the two palm trees off our lanai. Welcome to the Big Island!The unit itself is clean, attractive, comfortable and well appointed. Our very responsive host, Christie, could not have been more friendly and helpful. Watching the nearby surfers, a pod of dolphins, photographic sunsets, and the magical waves kept us on the lanai morning and evening. Parking at the complex is very convenient, and the unit's location is only minutes away from shopping and restaurants - with Da Cocoshack downstairs serving some tasty sandwiches. Our only recommendation is to be prepared as the beautiful surf can also be a bit boisterous at night depending on sea conditions.

The condo was very nice, lani was beautiful with great views and comfortable lounge chairs, although the unit was a little dated it was very clean. The main 2 reason for 4 stars are: 1) the bedroom is on the street side and there is quite a bit of traffic noise and 2) the notes should have included a facility map including directions from the elevator. We got there late due to a rental car snafu and did not know there was an elevator. Humping bags up 4 floors after flying all day was not fun only to find out in the morning there was an elevator.

We had a wonderful 8 night stay in December 2025. The condo was well-maintained, well-equipped and very comfortable with plenty of space for our family of 4. With the top-floor location right on the water the view from the Lanai really is stunning: the sunset was beautiful every single day, and in the mornings we enjoyed looking out for whales and leaping spinner dolphins - and were lucky enough to spot some. We also loved being able to leave the lanai doors ajar to keep the unit cool - we found we never needed the A/C! - and to hear the impressive sound of the ocean. The location is car-dependent but there are plenty of options for groceries and dining within a short driving distance and parking is plentiful, spacious and covered. Bob was an excellent host, providing clear and timely communication and making our stay 100% issue free. Definitely a 5 star find.

The condo is quite nice with stunning sunset views. It is fully equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need. Check-in was very easy and the management company very attentive to making sure everything was in perfect order. We loved having our breakfast on the balcony as we watched surfers catching waves. In the evenings the sunsets were amazing! Like most places on the island you definitely need a car to get around...a few places were walking distance but not much. Our only disappointment was the swimming pool and outside area of the complex...it definitely needs some upgrades and maintenance

The ocean waves crashing captivated as soon as we walked into the condo! We opened the sliding door to the lanai and I parked myself there for almost the entire stay. We had everything needed to fix meals and enjoyed all meals and coffe on the lanai… just a wonderful experience. I loved the HI decor and HI artwork in the condo and nice touches of aloe cucumber lotion was really appreciated. Parking and elevator was easy. My husband snorkeled almost every day, making use of our host’s recommendations. We went to the Standing Stone Church next door which was great! Enjoyed this relaxing vacation so much and hope we can return.

We loved the view from the lanai! We had breakfast every morning there. Beautiful sunsets! The apartment is dated but it has all the essentials for a perfect stay. Well equipped kitchen, dishwasher, washer and dryer. No issues for finding a parking space below the building. Good location, close to Kona center and close to other attractions like snorkeling, manata rays, etc.

The host was amazing! Great communication. The condo was absolutely beautiful! It was very clean, updated and great decor. There was plenty of linens, towels, and beach towels as well. The air conditioning worked so good to keep us cool at night. The view is unbelievable! We would love to stay here next year, but it is already booked.

Condo layout was great for 4 people. The second bedroom was a little noisy as it faced the walkway and pool, and the slated window didn’t reduce the sound much. Hot tub was pretty small. The lanai faced west and was large, so the sunsets were incredible, and there was enough space to allow all 4 of us to have meals out there. Lots of privacy as well. Close proximity to anything you want to do on the island, and centrally located so you can get to Hilo or the volcano national park within a couple of hours. I would stay here again

Well stocked condo at a fantastic spot. The sound of the waves and amazing ocean view beat out other options for sure. The onsite food options and easy parking were pluses as well. Perfect home base for our week of adventures on the big island. No regrets. Would stay here again.

This was one of the best condos we've stayed at over the years. Great views of the water (and sunsets!), white noise from the waves below, and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need - from beach gear to anything you could want in the kitchen. Easy parking at the condo and a great jumping-off point for activities in the Kona area. Great communication with Holly both before arrival and during our visit. 10/10 would book again next time we're in the Kona area.

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The unit was well appointed and in a great location. It was amazing to just be able to step into the balcony and see the tropical fishes in the water below. The unit came with everything you could need for a day out at the beach and we made use of the beach chairs, beach umbrellas and beach towels. Also, the host did a great job at providing instructions and following up to make sure we had a great stay. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone thinking of staying in Kona.

Christie the host was very welcoming and helpful. The condo had all needed amenities and was nice that it already had laundry detergent for the washer too! Kitchen was fully stocked utensils, pots and even a few spices. Condo even with the AC on can get a little hot at times in the afternoon with the sun baking on you as it goes down but I mean - the sunset and ocean right there sure makes up for it. Great stay overall!

Overall we had a great stay. The checkin process was seamless. The condo is well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen had plenty of everything, the Brita pitcher, coffee and basics like spices, salt/pepper made it easy. Beds/pillows were comfortable. The beach gear like chairs , umbrellas, and towels was super nice. We loved falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves.

We have stayed in various condos at the Kona Bali Kai yearly (almost) for the past 12 years. This was, by far, the most well stocked condo we have stayed in. We were very impressed, as well, with the condition of the furniture, the renovation, and the condo as a whole. When there was an issue with the lanai fan, Holly was quick to respond to our email and had it replaced promptly. Snorkel and beach equipment was provided and it was all in good condition. All of our interactions with Holly were exceedingly pleasant and we would definitely stay here again!
