There were five of us staying in the condo. It is very nicely furnished and equipped. We got off to a shaky start when the office was unexpectedly closed, so a wheelchair was not available. My husband has walking problems, but we managed to get him upstairs to the unit. Thankfully after a call to the owner, someone appeared with a wheelchair for our use the remainder of the stay. That was much appreciated. We spent hours on the lanai watching the tides and sunsets come and go. Our family enjoyed the many beaches and found several snorkeling and board surfing locations nearby. Also the town of Kailuea-Kona is 2 miles away where there was good shopping and eateries abound. Thank you to the owners for making this unit available for us to enjoy.

All was overall good, the bathrooms and lanai furniture could use little tlc, but not a big deal, just a suggestion.

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.

This property was everything we wanted and much more! Our family of 5 loved this condo. The highlight was definitely the view and falling asleep to the waves at night. Absolutely wonderful. From the porch we spotted whales and saw a sea turtle in the tide pools. We were pleasantly surprised to find coolers, chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach bags. All of these things made our beach days perfect! They also had sunscreen and bug spray available. I highly recommend staying here!?

We were mesmerized by the beautiful view and the sounds of the ocean waves. The kitchen was fully equipped and everything was in working order. The location is very convenient for enjoying Kona and exploring historic sites

Our favorite place to stay whenever we come to Kona! It’s like a home away from home. Convenient to town. The sunset and ocean views are incredible! Has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Washer/dryer in the unit is a plus! Been coming here for decades and hope to continue coming for many more years to come.

It’s our second time staying at this condo and it was just as good as the first time. The condo is clean, has everything you need and is nicely decorated. The view is wonderful! Check-in was easy. Hopefully we can stay again in the future.

Beautifully decorated condo in a beautiful area of Kona with a phenomenal view. The condo had everything we could have possibly needed for a great stay and the owners were wonderful to work with. I hope we can return soon!

This place had everything that we needed. The communal BBQs were great to use, especially the ones along the beach where you could watch the sunset. The laundry within the unit was so helpful (laundry soap provided). The location is a short drive (or walk) to great beaches and farmers markets. I would definitely stay here again. The only thing that I wished it had was a little laundry line on the deck to hang beach towels since you can't have them along the railing and there is limited spots inside the unit.

Outstanding view of the ocean and palm trees. A pleasure to watch the surfers from the incredible balcony which had plenty of seating and a table for meals and such. The condo was well stocked with the basics in the kitchen, and lots of towels. Best of all Holly was available whenever we needed her which was rarely. Neither of us wanted to leave. We'll definitely come back

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 enjoyed staying in this on the water unit with it’s well equipped kitchen. Complementary items were appreciated. The two bedrooms were comfy and well laid out. Our only concern was the state of the sleeping accommodations for the other two guests. The couch hide-bed was not in useable condition so one guest slept out on the couch on the lanai. We made it work but not everyone may be willing to be as flexible. Overall the accommodation experience was very good.

Condo was spacious for our family of 4, we stayed for 9 nights. The large open doors were great to watch the ocean and the sounds of the crashing waves put us to sleep at night. Kitchen was well stocked as were bath towels and the washer/dryer was great option to have. There are lots of "play" things to use at the condo when we were there - beach towels, boogie board, beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, etc. Getting out of the property can be difficult at times if traffic was heavy on the main road. We had one issue upon arrival with an interior door lock, but it was resolved quickly by Holly/team. Only minor complaint was the building itself was dated and parking garage could use some updating/fixing. I'm sure that's not something in the owner's control.

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.

Spacious, well-stocked, excellent view of the water, this unit was 1st class, comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed or stay. Turtles and whale sightings from our lanai. Would love to return and stay longer!

This location was close enough to the action but not down in the middle of traffic so we found that very valuable. The amenities of the condo where everything we could have wanted. Mike provided many things that we never would have thought of someone providing.

Beautiful place with unreal views of dolphins, whales, surfing and sunsets. The property was well taken care of and clean. Pool area was great for kids at end of the day. For awareness this complex is right on the main drag with a lot of loud music, the bedroom closest to the road can be a bit noisy. The master bedroom is great and can’t hear the street. Favorite place we have stayed out of all places on three islands

Property managers responsive to concerns. Beautiful view right on the ocean. Waves and surfers. Unit dated needs some simple things. No screen on lanai so hard to sit out much before sunset. Needs bedroom dressers to store clothing. Bedroom bedside stands water damage. Small TV, low to floor. Beach chairs low, need four that are “age” friendly. And a storage box on the lanai for beach gear. Replace patio furniture with more comfortable chairs. Table cloth for table. And a few simple spices

The condo was in a great location and very clean when we arrived. The views are incredible from the living room and main bedroom! We enjoyed our time in Kona and were happy with the condo. The only thing I would suggest is having small AC units in each bedroom, as the living room unit doesn't cool the bedrooms very well. We were quite warm at night, even with the fans running.

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.

A very clean condo with everything we needed. We slept well in the bed every night. The view from the lanai was incredible, in particular the sunsets were just amazing. My wife and I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

This was a beautiful unit. While most of the units in Hawaii are dated, this condo is the opposite- beautiful, updated, modern and clean. It was full of everything you needed- plenty of dishes (including wine glasses), beach towels, bath towels and extra linens. The kitchen has the extras you don’t want to purchase- (Like seasoning), and there is laundry detergent and dishwasher tabs stocked.The only negative for this condo is it is located outside of walking distance to town (probably about 3 miles). As long as you have a car (and parking is easy), there are no complaints.We would stay here again, without a doubt.

The view was phenomenal! The pics are accurate but the they don’t show that it was pretty dirty and dated. From the elevator in the the middle of the property the condo is about a football field away so be prepared to walk. The elevator was broken one day and closed for repairs, we had a mobility challenged person who had to navigate stairs. Overall the interior of unit was one level below a holiday Inn. Needs professional paint & clean including walls and baseboards and door handles and light switches and fixtures, and a place to put luggage ( like a luggage rack). Again the view was amazing!

We could not have asked for a better place to stay - spacious, clean, well equipped kitchen plus the lanai and view! Just phenomenal! We loved listening to the waves all day and night, enjoying the spectacular sunsets from the lanai and relaxing on the property as well as exploring the area. We would come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend.

We have been lucky to stay in this unit last year and this year. It is neat and clean, but the view and roar of the ocean is the best part.

We loved the view of this property, but the photos represented a larger, neater impression. None of the four grills worked properly and smoked so bad that if we sat on our lanai we’d have to come in. One of the things we look forward to is grilling by the ocean and eating in. The grill knobs just spun, so you couldn’t adjust heat and the grill surface was rusted. We already bought proteins for grilling, and unfortunately everything we grilled got incinerated. We won’t stay here again.

We stayed in the same condo in 2017, and when we came back in 2025, we went there again.Originally, we had planned for the trip in 2024, but we had to cancel that trip due to health concerns. We had a great time in 2025.From the balcony, you can see surfers at the nearby beach. However, if you want to photograph the surfers from the condo, you will need a longer lens. I captured a lot of surfer pictures that I need to reduce to a more manageable lot.Evidently the condo had A/C installed since we were there in 2017, but we didn't need it.The main bedroom opens up to the ocean, and you can use the screen door and hear the ocean lapping at night.The wifi in the unit was great. We did not watch TV, so I can't say what the channel selection the condo had.There were plenty of plugs, and at the desk and in the bedrooms there were power strips with extra plugs and USB chargers. I didn't use the USB chargers at the condo since I always carry my own, but they were available.When you check-in, it helps if is daylight, since the second entrance which goes to parking under the building is sort of hidden by bushes. The first entrance is easier to spot, but IMHO, you want to park under the building and not come to a hot car if you park outside in the sun.There were 3 luggage carts in the lobby to allow you to move suitcases in fewer trips. There is an elevator located in the middle of the complex so you can avoid the stairs. There are stairs near the unit.

This was the perfect spot for our first trip to the big island. We wanted to be oceanfront and the lanai of this property made it hard to tear ourselves away from the waves and surfers. Easy access to downtown Kailua-Kona, the great snorkeling spots down south (Captain Cook and 2-Step) and a reasonable drive (45 min) to the best sand beaches up north. Nicely updated and fully furnished unit, including AC (though we never needed it). The owner was easy to contact and very responsive. Highly recommend this condo.
