Summary:
Hot tub Closure Notice *The hot tub will be closed for maintenance beginning November 2, 2026 through December 7, 2026. Take in Pacific views from your private lanai, then head to Lyman's surf spot less than a half mile away or spend the day at Magic Sands Beach Park, about a mile down the coast. Kona Bali Kai 212, a one-bedroom, two-bath oceanfront condo, sleeps four across two beds and gives a small family a front-row seat to the island's sunny west side. The full kitchen, private washer and dryer, ceiling fans, and WiFi make longer stays feel simple, while the shared pool and hot tub offer an easy break from the ocean. Da Poke Shack is less than a block away, and Ali'i Drive leads north toward Kona town's harbor, shops, and dinner spots. This is an easygoing base for a couple or family who want the water close, sandy towels managed, and plenty of room for a slow Kona morning.

The Space:
This 651-square-foot, one-bedroom condo has two baths and sleeps four across two beds. Ocean views extend from the private balcony, while ceiling fans in the bedroom and common room keep air moving inside. The full kitchen is ready for meals, and the private washer and dryer handles sandy towels. The shared pool and hot tub are located in the main Kona Bali Kai complex.

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:
Kona Bali Kai sits along Ali'i Drive on Kailua-Kona's sunny coast, close to Banyans Beach and the surf breaks that give this stretch its local energy. Magic Sands Beach Park is about a mile away, with Pāhoehoe Beach Park roughly three-quarters of a mile in the other direction from the complex. Da Poke Shack is nearby for a casual local meal, and the road leads north toward Kona town's shops, harbor, and sunset walks. Kahalu'u Beach Park is farther south for snorkeling. It is an easy base for couples and families who want to make the beach part of every day, not a special outing.

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.

Amazing condo, beautiful oceanfront view!

This unit was in a great location with an absolutely beautiful view of the ocean! There were a few bugs at night, but -hey, it's Hawaii and there are bugs - so you just need to put all your food in the fridge or freezer and go enjoy your time. The host was nice and responsive. Da Poke Shack is right downstairs!

The floor wasn’t clean in the kitchen. And there were ants in the room halfway through our stay, although I am sure that is just part of the island process. The Hot Tub was a little bit misrepresentative. It was basically two people that could sit in the smallest thing I’ve ever seen possible smaller than my bathtub, but I also didn’t spend much time in it. The pool was supposed to be open till 10. They closed at 9:41 our day of arrival we just wanted to get in the hot tub and relax.

The unit is beautiful with stunning ocean views and well equipped. Property manager on site was great. Vacasa was terrible. Promised parking passes 3 times and never got one. Hours are 10-4:30 which are not convenient since I call on Kona clients. On site manager finally helped me. Don’t let this dissuade you from renting since the unit is great! I’d fire Vacasa.

Could not have asked for a better place to call home for our week on the Big Island! Easy check in, good amenities (never used the pool/hot tub-too busy playing in the ocean and out exploring), loads of parking available, and quick responses from Vacasa. Fully stocked rental with everything you need. Loved sitting on the lanai with coffee every morning watching the waves crashing and enjoying the stunning sunrises. Comfy bed, comfy sofa and recliner, and good water pressure…no complaints! Would return here without hesitation!

We loved the property’s location and view. Everything was as described in the listing. We gave 4 stars for cleanliness because there is an obvious coach roach problem. Due to the number of roaches we saw the issue is not confined to this apartment. There are bait traps but they are inadequate. In our opinion, this unit and several others need to be fumigated. We also gave 4 stars for management services due to the fact I had to call the local property mgmt for a minor issue. I held on line for 30 mins, then gave up.

This is a very nice rental. It so close to the ocean, you can hear the waves as you fall asleep. Kitchen is well supplied. It has great sunsets from the Lanai.

We had a late flight that was also delayed departing. Arriving tired and in need of facilities, it was incredibly frustrating that the electronic door lock was inoperative. After sorting through texts and elmails from Vacasa, we finally got to a human on the line that had a code to a lockbox, apparent standby for this occurrence. The condo was very nice and the view could not have been better.

Beautiful View. Basoc condo. Cold pool and warm, not hot, tub. We were there for two weeks. No lounge on porch. Need to buy some silverware to fill in what was needed.

If you want your own private balcony with a stunning view of the ocean, and a place to enjoy a magical sunset, look no further! You will be able to sleep with the best white noise on the planet! This home has a great bed and a great view! Loved it!

There are always turtles within view of the patio, surfers as well. We also saw a couple whales breaching as we sat on the patio.The condo is great- the kitchen is set up very well, so if you're going to be cooking in a lot it's pretty much all there save for seasonings. The bed was awesome. This unit does not have AC, but with all of the ceiling fans and the large patio doors open there was plenty of airflow. The couch is a bit dated. Wifi is excellent.If you need a (cheap) place within walking distance of downtown Kona this is a great deal.

If you enjoy the ocean, watching some great surfers and big waves this is the spot for you!

Roomy unit, big balcony with excellent ocean view right below, convenient private washer/dryer along with detergent and fabric softener. Very helpful front deck and customer service via phone and texting. Need updates on appliances and furniture: reclining chair yanks back unexpectedly, stove and oven unit doesn’t work well, no lighting on balcony. Not enough washcloths provided unless you wash them frequently (We stayed for a week.) There were some thoughtful items like books, snorkeling gear and small ice chest. Wish there were scissors and dishwasher detergent provided in the kitchen and facial tissue in the bathroom. There’s plenty dish soap, so we hand washed all dishes throughout the week, but couldn’t comply with their request to start the dishwasher as we checked out. There were plenty of other things supplied. Especially liked the high quality soap, shampoo/conditioner, etc. Generally a very good vacation place, just needs some updates.

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.
