Summary:
Hot tub Closure Notice *The hot tub will be closed for maintenance beginning November 2, 2026 through December 7, 2026. Start with a full Pacific view from the lanai, then choose between the beach at the complex or Magic Sands and Pahoehoe Beach Park, both about a mile away. Kona Bali Kai 418, an oceanfront one-bedroom condo, sleeps up to four with two beds and two baths, a full kitchen, and a private washer and dryer. Lyman's surf break is less than a half mile away, and Da Poke Shack is less than a block from the condo when lunch needs no planning. The shared outdoor pool and hot tub offer a simple post-beach reset, while Kailua Village is a couple of miles north for shops and dinner. It is a terrific Kona base for a small family or couple who wants the view, the beach, and a favorite local meal close at hand. Come for the water view, then let the easy access shape the whole stay.

The Space:
A full view of the Pacific gives this one-bedroom condo a true oceanfront feel from the moment you arrive. Two beds and two baths accommodate up to four guests, while the full kitchen and private washer and dryer make the stay easy to manage. Ceiling fans offer a cool break from the sun, and the private lanai gives you a personal place to watch the water, from coffee through sunset.

Guest Access:
Guests at Kona Bali Kai enjoy access to the shared pool and hot tub, plus an elevator and garage parking. The grounds feature gardens and beach front views, with ocean access and outdoor seating available for guests to enjoy between excursions.

The Neighborhood:
Along Ali'i Drive on Kailua-Kona's sunny west coast, Kona Bali Kai gives you an easy rhythm of surf, beach time, and town evenings. Magic Sands Beach Park and Pahoehoe Beach Park are each about a mile away for sand, tide pools, and an ocean dip, while Lyman's surf break is less than a half mile from the complex. Head a couple of miles north to historic Kailua Village for waterfront restaurants, shops, and an evening stroll. It is a strong base for families and couples who want the Pacific close and downtown Kona within easy reach.

Getting Around:
A rental car is the easiest way to explore the Kona Coast at your own pace. Ali'i Drive connects this area with Kailua-Kona, beach parks, dining, and shops. Check your reservation details for parking information and plan on a car for flexible access to beaches and day trips.

Everything was as described and you simply can't beat falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean right outside your door!

Fantastic ocean front with gorgeous view from lanai. Tide pool right below. Great quiet location yet easy to get to restaurants , etc. We loved the sound of the ocean at night. The kitchen had everything you needed except scissors. The only complaint was the big, hard pillows. Bring your own.

Great location and view. Perfect Hawaiian relaxation spot.

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.

The views are spectacular, the room very comfortable. So many things to do and everyone was very friendly. I have enjoyed it so much I really don’t want it to end here, but we have another island to go to.

We’ve been to this island several times but our first time at Kona Bali Kai. The building shows a little age but the views and location are unbeatable. The condo was well suited for us, top floor, we actually appreciated the lack of AC as we had screen doors and fans to keep it cool and enjoy the sound of the ocean for 10 days & nights. Easy parking, good BBQ access (although the BBQ’s could use a little love-clean and plenty of propane but one burned super slow and 2 were turbo blasters!) Good responsiveness from the prop managers VaCasa when the front screen door didn’t work on our arrival and was fixed the next morning. Some beach gear avail but kinda showed some wear and we had to buy beach chairs but hopefully the next visitors will enjoy them! Overall, a real winner that we will be pleased to return to in the future.

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.

Sounds of the waves while you sleep.

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.

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.
