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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!!!

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!

I loved this condo. My favorite was listening to the waves everyday and night. Having the second bathroom was really nice for my family of 4. The property was quiet and peaceful.

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.

lieu agréable en bord de mer, bien équipé , mais tarif tres onéreux pour les prestations. Accueil ouvert seulement de 10h à 17H, aucune femme de ménage ne passe durant la semaine , le linge n'est pas changé,.... bref livré a vous meme

We enjoyed our stay - condo was nice - a little dated, but clean and the view was spectacular. We did have a couple of light bulbs out and there were ants in the kitchen. We didn’t cook so it didn’t affect us but thought you would want to know for the next guests. Overall happy with the stay.

The picture on this is very deceiving. It does not look that new in real life.
Sadly I tried to look past the problems that came up but seemed like another thing would happen around every corner. Let me explain:
1. The screen doors don't shut all the way.
2. There are so many switches without labels that I had to go around guessing with ones went where (some did nit go to anything)
3. The outlets behind the nightstands in the bedroom only worked in half way.
4. The outlet in the main bathroom sparked when I plugged my blow dryer in leaving my plug black (my guess is because it's old and was very dusty)
5. The other bathrooms outlet was so incredibly dirty (I took pictures but in nit sure if I'll be able to share) that we indeed made sure not to touch it.
6. The bed was so hard (and I can usually adjust to a firm bed without complaint) that I literally woke up on the 3rd in tears because I had not slept and was in pain. Iver never slept so bad. It made for a really long week.
7. I decided to do a load of towels so we didn't dirty all of them and when. Put in the dryer... I started it amd immediately heard a loud clunking. I opened it to find a random screen in the back off that would not stay in when I tried to put it back. At this point I was done and decided I would review when the trip was over.
This place is very outdated and needs matientce done not for looks (I can do outdated looks) but for safety reasons.
Honestly, since there is no cancelation after the before 30 days, we would have eaten the money after day 2 had there been something else available to go to. Unfortunately it being during holiday breaks for everyone kona was packed and we were forced to stay here for the week.
We most definitely will never rent this room again.

Ich war vom 27.11 bis 02.12 im Kona Bali Kai in Kailua-Kona. Die Unterkunft war die beste während meiner Hawaii Reise. Eine tolle Einrichtung, Küche mit Vollausstattung, Bad und WC in Top Zustand. Das Wohnzimmer sehr bequem wobei sich der wesentliche Teil des Aufenthaltes auf dem Balkon abgespielt hat. Der Pazifik zum Greifen nah. Sensationell. Die Mitarbeiterin im Office sehr hilfsbereit. Insgesamt eine absolut empfehlenswerte Adresse. Ich werde jeden Fall diese traumhafte Location wieder besuchen und freue mich jetzt schon auf meinen nächsten Aufenthalt im Kona Bali Kai. Sehr empfehlenswert.

We could not have asked for a better location! The unit was clean and comfortable and, while not air conditioned, had plenty of fans and we were able to leave the doors to the lanai open at night so we could take advantage of the breeze and the sound of the waves. Check in and check out were very easy and we really enjoyed our stay. My friend and I both agreed that we would stay here again if the unit is available the next time we visit!

Right on the water , we could spot birds, turtles , fish , spinner dolphins and surfers from our lanai. Located a couple mile south of the busy town it was a great quiet place to relax with the convenience of restaurants and entertainment if wanted. Great home base for exploring the whole island. Welcoming decor , equipped kitchen, plentiful nice linens, and chairs and towels for the beach. Great place for small family with the pool and sheltered sand area. Slept to the sounds of the ocean . Plan to come again.

Falling asleep each night to the waves crashing on the lava rocks below the condo and the incredible view made it hard to leave! It was a great spot…short drive/Uber into Kona village for dinner out, but not in the busy part of town. Great kitchen and ate most meals in on the lanai…we will return I hope!!

We loved staying here! An ocean view is what we wanted and that’s what we got. Clean space, full kitchen, two bathrooms, very very comfortable accommodation but being so close to the water is what this place is all about! Our 24/7 view of the ocean and the sound of the waves was breathtaking. We watched the sunset from our lanai almost every night. We would definitely stay here again!

Really enjoyed this oceanfront, top floor condo. Came with everything we could need for our week long trip. Great location in Kona, ample parking, and quiet. Was made to feel very welcome and was given numbers to reach out if there were any problems, we had none. Only complaint would be is that we could only get 1 of the 3 ceiling fans to work (did have 2 stand fans to keep us cool) and electrical outlets were few and some didn’t work. Would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed watching the waves, surfers, and sunsets from the lanai. The bed is comfortable, but it's listed as a Queen when it is actually a Full. The kitchen had everything we needed. Only one garbage bag was provided though, which seemed odd. The property is in a good location - not too close to town and not too far away. Overall, a terrific place to stay.
