Kailua-Kona Ocean View Studio Reviews

Can’t recommend staying here at all. The host sent a message the day of check in that you are not allowed to use more than 1 major appliance at a time or it would trip breakers. Air conditioner, hot water heater, washer, dryer, stove? Choose only 1 to use at a time. You can’t run the AC while taking a shower. You can’t cook dinner while running the laundry. It was absolutely ridiculous to try and work around all week. This apparently was not just a temporary issue as I asked if it would be fixed while we were there and was told that no, this was somehow normal. The only option the host offered was to cancel the listing. Who is going to be able to find and rebook another place at 7pm at night after flying all day just to get there. He knew it was an issue, Didn’t say anything in the description and only tells you about it the day you check in and can no longer find other accommodations.The rest of the condo? The fancy bed is hard as a rock and the pillows provided are the cheapest ones he can find with almost no stuffing in them. The mattress isn’t even the full size of the bed. There is some sort of foam block the last 2’ of the bed where the mattress stops. It’s like he bought a queen mattress for a king size bed. All the fancy carving work is also so faded and dried out that every time you move the slightest bit, the bed creaks and groans.Ocean view? Yes with a noisy street between you and it with yelling drunks walking it at 3am. Stay elsewhere

While the space itself wasn’t exactly as expected, it was clean, and the host was very responsive and helpful.

Balcony faced the ocean. We could hear the waves and birds. Right on Ali'i Drive between the major beaches and the very active area to the north. Great amenities-- boogie boards, snorkels, extra towels, aqua socks. Great response from the property manager to my questions.

This VRBO was absolutely perfect! The bathroom was spacious with nice amenities. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with all needs. The balcony over looks the ocean making for a beautiful view. It is within walking distance of several beaches and a taco truck with delicious food. Everything was clean, comfortable and homey. The host was easy to communicate with and was very helpful. We highly recommend staying here and would stay here again upon a visit to Kona!

It's a clean nicely decorated condo close to downtown Kona. Partial ocean view from across the street. I had a little trouble identifying which building the unit was in (it's in a complex of many buildings). Please enhance building and parking instructions (reserved vs greyed out reserved).

Note: the availability calendar is approximate. Check your dates on the reservation site.

Insider tips

Good to know at Kona Bali Kai

  • At low tide, explore the rocky tide pools and little cove right in front of the complex, where sea turtles, fish and even the odd octopus turn up.
  • For an easy sunset ritual, carry dinner down to the oceanside lawn, where shared grills, picnic tables and loungers let you cook and eat facing the water as the sun goes down.
  • From sunrise to sunset, a crew of local surfers rides the break just offshore, and the rock wall along the water makes a front-row seat for watching them.
