This unit is one of my favorite units I've stayed in at Kona Bali Kai. The unit it nicely remodeled, the beds are comfortable, the view is outstanding, and it is fully stocked for cooking as well as for blending mixed drinks. The deck is great for watching sunsets and surfers. The way it is situated, I was able to relax in a shaded corner on their outdoor recliner in the afternoon.Holly is excellent with communication and we appreciate her very much. I will definitely stay in this unit again.

Amazing location above crashing waves and tidal pools. Clean and comfortable unit, easy parking, not far from a few popular beaches and eats in Kona (and top-notch poke bowl carry-out attached to lobby). Thank you Holly!

Host communication was prompt and clear. View from balcony was fantastic. Condo had all amenities that a vacationer could need. Tommy Bahama chairs, umbrella, and small cooler were super useful! Thanks Holly!

Thank you, This was our first time staying here at this unit and it is a beautiful unit, it is all it says it is. The location is just right still just a short distance to down town Kona but yet still nice a quiet. The unit was stocked completely with everything you need and more. It did not feel like other rental units we have rented in the past. Very clean and well maintained, saying everything worked in the unit. The AC was very adequate and kept the whole unit cool and with ceilings in every room was all you need. The lanai was very large and fantastic views of the ocean, everyday there were surfers enjoying the waves, over all I would totally recommend the place so well worth it, we are hoping to return very soon. Thank so much for the use of this wonderful property.

My husband and I were so pleased with this property! It was a beautiful space, very clean, and looked just like the pictures. Holly was quick to help us with any questions we had and she was attentive to all the little things a guest might need. The best part of our stay was the amazing view and going to bed to the sound of the ocean waves. This Vrbo is a 10/10!!

This condo made our whole vacation. The island was beautiful, but nothing beat our own private front row seat of the ocean from our balcony. We left the patio doors open and could hear the waves crashing all night long and could feel the gentle breeze blowing in…so relaxing. The condo was beautifully decorated, meticulously clean, and well stocked. It had everything we needed and more. We especially loved having a cooler, beach chairs, and umbrella. I appreciated having binoculars, as I was able to see sea turtles basking on the rocks near the shore. Amazing!While we did excursions and toured the entire island, the highlight of our trip was coming home to our one view of the sunset and waking up to the waves and gentle breeze from our own beachfront condo. While I doubt we would return to Hawaii again, if we did, I book this condo every single time.

The beds and couch were comfortable. The host was always quick in responding to our questions and I absolutely would stay here again.

Beautiful view and beautiful unit. We stayed here for two weeks and would 100% stay here again in a heartbeat. Holly was a wonderful host from the moment we booked until the moment we left. The unit had *everything* you could need and the was totally updated. The lanai is very large and very private and, like others noted, falling asleep to the waves crashing on the beach was amazing.

This was a package of delights. The refurbished unit was well coordinated, amenities were spot on, and the host was very responsive. I wasn’t saying “I wish…”, but rather, “This unit has it all.”I need special amenities for my spouse who has some limitations. The elevator was a plus. The grab bars in the primary bathroom, a bonus.And, the lanai was fabulous. I looked at the other lanais and ours was the best equipped and tastefully designed. The two club chairs were a nice addition.The host clearly cares about the property and those who are using it. Shout out to Holly!

Great condo what a view. This place is amazing. If u want to be right on the ocean this your place. Loved everything about this place. Most amazing place to watch a sunset. Everything was clean with the exception of the kitchen counters where we kept find these little insects on the counter that got worse as the week went on. They didn’t look harmful but we kept all our food in the fridge.

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo! The location was perfect—close to everything we needed, yet peaceful and relaxing. The unit itself was exactly as pictured online: beautifully maintained, thoughtfully decorated, and incredibly comfortable.The lanai was a dream. We spent hours out there soaking in the stunning ocean views and watching surfers glide across the waves every single day. A fun surprise was discovering that the lanai chairs reclined—game changer! It made our morning coffee and sunset lounging even more enjoyable. I’ll be including photos because the views truly speak for themselves.Inside, the condo was cool and comfortable thanks to the AC and ceiling fans, which made sleeping a breeze (literally). The kitchen was impressively stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, which we appreciated after long days exploring.One of the highlights of our trip was attending the luau at the Royal Kona. We Ubered there for convenience, but ended up walking back. Check-in was seamless, and Holly was fantastic—super responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Her hospitality made the experience even better.We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic, and well-equipped

My husband and I made a trip to the islands for our 30th wedding anniversary. The big island was our first stop of two islands and this condo did not disappoint. We started our days with coffee on the balcony and watched the surfers catch waves, and on a couple of the mornings we were able to view pods of dolphins jumping and spinning. Truly spectacular! The condo itself was very well stocked with everything we needed and more, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. If you're visiting the Big Island, we highly recommend this jewel on the coast of Kona!Aloha!

Amazing views from this beautifully redone unit. The furniture was comfortable and the place was spic and span clean. Perfect location for different experiences as snorkeling tour was 15-20 minutes north and manta ray and volcano to the south. We were in touch with Holly a number of times and she was easy to work with especially when we needed advice during the tsunami warning. Would absolutely return to this place when and if we get the chance. :)

The Kona Bali Kai condo is one of the nicest VRBOs I've ever stayed in. The condo is fully stocked with everything you may need. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept very well. The location is amazing. You are right on the ocean. The sound of the waves crashing was beautiful. I would stay here again!!!

Tha apartment is cute and has sufficient equipment. We enjoyed having 2 bathrooms and the extra bedoom to speadout. The company managing this unit is not part of Bali Kai, however the Bali Kai people are very riendly and helpful.THe best part is proximity to the sound of the waves and being on the 3rd floor it has a wonderful aspect.Recommended for those who love the sound of the waves.

Mahalo, for a wonderful stay at this beautiful waterfront property that is everything it represents online and more! It was newly renovated and they thought of everything when it came to having the condo well stocked with things you’d need for a great stay. It is close to town for dining and centrally located to explore everything the Big Island has to offer. The decor, the vibe and the ocean front views will have you wanting to stay longer. We are already planning our next trip back. Until next time Kona….

This apartment had the best location; close to swimming/snorkelimg and close enough to downtown/shops/restaurants. I have been to the island many times at this point and this apartment had the best furnishings and beds by far. The views from the lanai were amazing and we spent much time exploring the tide pools (even seeing multiple turtles). Will definitely stay here again!

The perfect location for exploring the whole island. We absolutely loved sleeping with the wi does open to hear the waves crashing all night long. The condo had everything we needed for our stay and was clean and modern. Beds were comfortable and it was nice having 2 bathrooms and washer/ dryer.

The property is gorgeous! It has all the amenities you need - from the kitchen, bedroom, bathrooms even towels for the beach. The views are stunning and I love hearing the ocean. The back bedroom doesn't get enough air conditioning from the main unit and the fan is ok, but I'd have preferred a small unit just for that room. A minor thing is to have the curtains completely cover the windows so the sunlight didn't wake me up. Otherwise, it was great!

We had an excellent stay. Ocean, palm trees, sunset, surfers all visible from the balcony. Hearing the waves throughout the day and night was relaxing. Location is pretty good, close to the restaurants, bars and shopping. Da Poke Shack is in the same building and there is a convenience mart across the street. 60 second walk if you need simple things. Parking is easy and there is an elevator if you need it.Everything was as pictured. Very efficient/easy to use AC system. Sunset views every night. Surfers every day. A couple small beaches and tide pools downstairs, beach chairs in the unit. Clean and comfy beds, couch, etc. Host was communicative. No complaints!

Beautiful condo. Comfortable, fully stocked and a great location. We loved our stay. They only things to be aware of is the second bedroom is small (very little room between the bed and walls), and the AC is in the main room. You need to leave bedroom doors open to get cool air. But there are fans in all rooms and the deck. We had a great time!

Third visit to Kona Bali Kai and this condo was beautiful. You had absolutely everything you could want! The views and sunsets from the lanai in the reclining chairs were just the absolute best. Everything was as the listing showed and even better. Coffee, snacks, soaps... this was truly a perfect place. Would love to come back!

Clean condo in older building. Condo has been recently updated and looks amazing. We spent most of our time on the lenai watching surfers and fish.

This was a dream for my parents! They kept telling me how absolutely amazing this property was and how they can’t wait to come back and bring friends. They only want to stay at Holly’s place! It was exceptional! Worth every cent and more! Being on the ocean with a large lani and waking to the waves was exactly what they wanted. Mahalo Holly for making your place truely memorable!!!
