The home was so comfortable and they had everything we needed like a parasol buggy boards, sand toys, we felt right at home my husband played his music a bit louder than I would appreciate and the neighbors would make anyone proud by not making a big deal, I’m impressed and will be hopefully staying here in the near future

We stayed in this condo for a week (six nights), and our group included myself and my husband, our two teenage kids (18 and 15) and my older (75) parents. We had a wonderful time, and absolutely loved our stay. Yes, the condo is dated, but everything is perfectly functional and we had no issues. Yes, we saw a cockroach twice (may have been the same one), but we made sure to put food away and never saw another one. The condo is super spacious, plenty of room for six people, and NO ONE will ever top that balcony - incredible. There were plenty of A/C units, which kept us very cool, and a large washer/dryer that we used to wash stuff. The condo was well-stocked with snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, beach towels, and some VERY basic supplies (be prepared to go to the store for more!). Some light switches didn't work, and one of the bedrooms definitely has a full bed, NOT a queen. (The front balcony bedroom that is not the master has a queen - the back bedroom is a full. Not a huge deal for us, but we had to switch some stuff around because my parents couldn't really sleep on the full.) There are three bathrooms, which is fabulous for several people, and the kitchen has just about every dish, pot, and appliance you could want. We cooked all our own meals except for one night, which saved us lots of money. It's located south of the "big" tourist area, which means it's quieter, but you will have to drive 5-10 minutes to get to all that. Loved it all!

We absolutely loved being able to hear and see the ocean all the time! There is a spotlight shining on the waves at night that adds the perfect amount of light to see the waves, but doesn’t shine into the windows while you’re trying to sleep. The area was perfect for what we were wanting from our vacation and the property manager was extremely responsive. There was construction going on next door while we were there, but we were told it was an emergency situation and it wasn’t within the control of our property manager. We would absolutely stay here again!

Had a very nice stay here near Kona. Unit was nice and clean. Everything we needed (although seemed somewhat odd not to have any shampoo or bar soap). Used the beach and snorkel gear which was nice to have.

The room was cute and clean. We loved the large lanai but the bugs were fairly intense, so we couldn't stay out their long or even enjoy the screen doors because the bugs came inside. Some of the screens were not well sealed and we found three cockroaches on our things that we had to collect and take outside. Having one a/c unit in the whole condo really didn't work for us. We had every fan blowing but it wasn't enough to cool the place down. We purposefully got a room with this layout so we could close doors and give privacy, but with only one a/c, we weren't able to close doors. The view from the lanai was amazing, and we enjoyed watching the surfers. We explored the lava rocks on the shore and enjoyed the views. We did not use the pool and the elevator was fairly slow. Loved the lending library on each floor.

The condo was very well equipped and greatly appreciated the washer/dryer. The view was fantastic! Location was very convenient to beaches and town. The Welcome book with condo information was very detailed and provided a lot of explanation that my daughter liked. Would stay here again. It was awesome.

Amazing ocean view. Very well appointed home. Kitchen has all you need. There are 3 bathrooms, one with a bidet. Plenty of pool and ocean toys, umbrellas, chairs and boogie boards not to mention beach towels. Wonderful surprise for our 3 kids. Very clean home with nice washer and dryer and starter detergent. Great communication with property management. We really enjoyed the pool after long day at near by Magic Sand Beach and Kahalu’u Snorkel Park.

This is a beautiful property in a beautiful, amazing, convenient location that is superbly stocked and has everything you could want/need with an awesome view. Wake up to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore just outside and fall asleep to the sun setting in the west by the palm tree lined horizon.The host is wonderful to work with, so easy and super quick to respond. Didn’t want this trip to end, probably one of the best properties we’ve ever stayed at

The unit is as ocean front as you can get. Loved hearing the ocean all night. It is very well stocked for all ages. Games for kids and tons of beach toys. The kitchen has everything you need. Clean and made for a relaxing stay. Close to town. Parking is tight but very doable for our full size SUV rental. Would stay in this unit again.

Amazing views, comfortable bed and furniture, very clean, well stocked, I really can't do this condo any justice with just words. Very much appreciate the opportunity to stay here. I will forever be fond of journaling and watching the surfers from the lanai.

The location is unbeatable! Black rocks, white waves, and palm trees are right in front of you—we got to enjoy spectacular sunsets from the lanai every evening. The unit is just minutes from Magic Sands Beach and Kahalu’u Beach Park, one of the best snorkeling spots on the Big Island.The condo itself is very clean, and the kitchen is well stocked. The in-unit washer and dryer are convenient. Holly, the host, was friendly and responsive to all our questions.Note: Only the living room has A/C. It does a decent job of cooling the master bedroom, but it doesn’t really reach the second bedroom. That said, it wasn’t an issue for us—the weather was mild and the ceiling fans were very effective. The second bedroom faces a small parking lot and is close to the street. With louvered windows, sound insulation is limited. The noise didn’t bother us, but light sleepers might want to bring earplugs.Overall, we really liked the unit and had a great time on the Big Island!

Stephanie was fantastic to work with. She answered quickly to any questions. The condo was clean with a great location. The lanai was where we spent most of our time while we were in the condo. Will definitely book again!

We had a great time, the property was great and the room was clean and stocked with what we needed. We enjoyed the tide pools right outside our room. We started with an amazing sunset the first evening and the next morning we saw a sea turtle in the tide pool! It was there many times, so I assume it stays here. We had a wonderful stay!!!

The location of this condo was incredible. The lanai looked over the ocean with surfers, parasailing, and we even had a sea turtle come every morning for its feeding. Our kitchen sink was stopped up, but with a quick call, it was repaired in a matter of a couple of hours. It was a very nice visit and I would recommend this as a wonderful place to stay.

You can't beat the view from the lanai! It's a great location for venturing with plenty of options nearby, or a good base for exploring the entire island. Everything in the unit was clean and worked. The property itself is showing its age and wear. Some reviews have mentioned the road noise, but that isn't a distraction if you're not trying to sleep in .... and there's too much to see and do on the island to spend time sleeping in. The host provided great instructions, details, and tips a few days before our arrival. The unit is stocked with a good assortment of beach gear for use by guests.

It is such a pleasure walking into a property and being immediately impressed by how nice it is, and this one did just that. The setting on the 4th floor made for a perfect view of the ocean, as well as perfect access to the ocean breezes, and it made an immediate impression upon entering. The lanai was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The interior was very tastefully decorated. The kitchen was generously equipped with pots, pans, and just about any utensil you could want and there were enough staples available to anyone wanting to cook. And the primary bed was so incredibly comfortable, and something we looked forward to after each day of excursions on the island. It honestly struck us as though we were staying in someone's home.And finally, Holly, the property contact person, was super responsive to each of our inquiries. She was helpful and communicative. I can't really think of any improvement to suggest -- it was exactly what we were looking for in all respects. Thank you Holly!

For whatever reason the primary bath’s shower was not connected to cold water. Older layout/design style offers little privacy in the primary bedroom. The condo was completely stocked with every beach item you could think of, it was absolutely fantastic!! Chairs, snorkels, pfd’s for a variety of sizes, boogie boards, a surfboard!! I even saw sand toys and a cooler. The price at the time of our booking was fantastic- we were able to stay a few more days with how this fit into our budget. Vacasa isn’t my fav booking group, but the local front desk staff were fantastic! (Vacasa allows 3 trash bags for a booking of 5 people & 7 days, but local staff had extras for us.)

This is the 4th time we have stayed at a property that Holly hosts - and as usual, it did not disappoint! The kitchen and bathrooms were so well stocked, and it was so nice to have all the equipment needed for a nice day at the beach. The home was so clean and nicely decorated. And I love, love, love having the washer and dryer in the unit! We spent a lot of time watching the surfers just outside of our lanai - such wonderful built-in entertainment! My favorite part was falling asleep to the sound of the waves just outside. Holly was again absolutely wonderful to work with - so responsive and attentive. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

This condo was so great! We loved the lanai- and watching the surfers and sunsets. Da Poke Shack is located right in the complex and it was so yummy! It was quiet, clean and the condo provided plenty of fans if you didn’t want to use the AC. The front room gets really hot- but that is my only complaint.

My family of 5 really enjoyed our stay. The condo was very clean, was centrally located for activities on the Kona side of the island, and parking was quite easy. We enjoyed the various adventures we went on just through our own exploration. Mike’s condo information book is a great start and then the guidebooks available in the condo were also helpful. The market across from the condo was well stocked and the people there very friendly. As for the condo itself, the beds were very comfortable with clean linens, the A/C worked great (mainly only used at night to keep it cool for sleeping), and the balcony set up and view was beautiful. When we arrived, there were only 3 sets of towels instead of the 5 sets we needed. We contacted Mike, and he got it taken care of very quickly. The condo itself had so many things in it—beach towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards, umbrellas, ice chests, beach chairs, etc. Also, had all the necessary kitchen items, including spices, coffee, sugar, etc. Also, in the closet across from the washer/dryer unit, there was some left over mineral sunscreen, which is the preferred sunscreen for the islands to protect the coral reefs. We utilized the washer/dryer and dishwashing machines, which all worked well. The pool and hot tub were nice and clean. Lastly, we do recommend trying out Da Poke Shack on the property, because it was delicious. We had a really great stay and highly recommend!

Wonderful time, condo was super clean and well stocked with all the household amenities anyone could ever need! TV was a little problematic, couch not the most comfy but we rarely watched anyway! Spent most of our time on the beautiful lanai enjoying the amazing view. Sunsets and sunrises were unbelievable!!

Excellent location- far enough away from the main tourist strip and close to the best snorkeling in the Kona area. Easy covered parking, lanai looking onto the ocean and local surf break. All the kitchen amenities you need and a cooler to borrow for day trips! The only drawback is the curtains in the smaller bedroom don’t bock out the intense light from the (blinking!) street light so this makes it really hard for light sleepers like me.

The condo was very comfortable for our family of 3. Owners have taken extra care to make sure the condo is stocked with amenities. We loved the lanai for morning coffee and sunsets.

I have stayed at Kona Bali Kai many times. This unit was clean the kitchen was pretty well stocked. I thought it was a nice touch that they have ice chests for you borrow. It needs maintenance. The couch is uncomfortable to sit on. I did not care for this particular unit's location.It's very far north. I like the southern units better because you can see the surfers that come everyday from the park.

We needed a place for a couple nights, this place was perfect. Everything was clean and tidy. The host was easy to communicate with, easy to reach. The location is convenient and right on the ocean. The instructions were detailed and easy to understand. The ocean view from the lanai is amazing. We enjoyed coffee in the mornings listening to the ocean waves. The tide pools below were fun to explore-we even saw a turtle. We were sad to leave after only a couple days. We would definitely come back!

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!
