Kona Bali Kai Reviews


The pictures and description of the Penthouse is spot-on! The view is amazing. We sat on the lanai every morning drinking our coffee and watching the surfers and waves. We ate breakfast and dinner on the lanai. It was definitely our favorite part of the place. The place including the kitchen was will stocked with anything you need, the beds were comfortable, and did I mention the views...so amazing. I was concerned about the guest room being warm but there was a ceiling fan and a rotating fan our daughter/boyfriend were comfortable and it was humid during the day/early evening. It was close to shopping and restaurants. Papa Kona restaurant is very good! We ate there 3 times including Thanksgiving! We hope to return soon! Thank you Holly for sharing your beautiful Penthouse!

Lovely condo with amazing views off the lanai… the best place ever for morning coffee!! Everything went smoothly as Mike is a fantastic host. We look forward to staying there again!

It was a super clean, super comfy home base for our trip in Kona. We stayed 5 nights. It had air conditioning, a nice shower, comfy bed, fully stocked kitchen and laundry area, and the snacks they provided were so fun. There was plenty of parking and we always got a spot by our unit. There were also some chairs, mats and boogie boards for us to use. The pool is big but the hot tub is tiiiny so couples took turns using it. I really have no complaints and would 100% stay there again.

Initially, everything looked great. But once you tried to use things, you found out there were issue…several. Kitchen light control was intermittent at best (had to use circuit breaker to turn off lights), sliding door to balcony had worn out roller so door was extremely hard to move (was sliding on frame), room lamp broken, WiFi signal very intermittent, no cable TV signal (tech replaced splitter, but this didn’t fix the problem permanently, next day-no signals on most channels again), and no switch for bed lights (had to unplug).

This stay was phenomenal, yall. All the comforts of home, many which you won't find elsewhere. Full size kitchen including a dishwasher, in-unit laundry, living room air conditioning, parking spots galore!!! Not only were the hosts kind, communicative, and understanding when I got my dates mixed up, but they proactively provided all the info we might need. The instructions to enter the garage came in clutch. Great internet, comfy bed, spacious balcony, and a great location. We had one evening where the unit smelled a bit of sulfur, but Terry explained that the island tends to release gases every now and then. The smell didn't persist and was gone by the time we woke up. Trust me. This is the one you want. Book it if you have the chance! We certainly will whenever we have the opportunity to return!

The location is great but the unit was not in good order.There was no way to contact the cleaner so I called the owner and they refunded our cleaning fee but I still had to ready the place for us. Except for no dishwasher, the place has all one needs for a comfortable stay. Access to the ocean was great.

Holly’s place is great for a fun vacation or work-cation! We enjoyed Kona coffee watching the morning surfers and marine life riding the waves, then it was a great launching point for adventures across the island. Highly recommend!!

View was great, balcony was awesome, location is perfect. But the condo was DIRTY, incredibly dirty. It was gross. Dead bugs and a ton of dirt inside the lamps where you have to reach in to turn them on. Didn't want to step on the floor in bare feet, it was so dirty. But the carpet in the bedroom was no better, it needed to be replaced years ago. Knives all dull, toaster only half worked, no hot water at master bath sink, every surface not dirty was covered with tchotchkes EVERYWHERE. We had to collect all the plastic plants (non ever dusted) in one place, just so we'd have somewhere to place our stuff on surfaces. No vacuum, just an electric broom (which answers a lot). Down bed pillows were bricks, just awful and gross. Opened drawers and cabinets and just junk (or litter) would be in it. Light switches that didn't power on anything, overhead fans (kitchen, balcony) and lights (bar lights) that didn't work. One balcony screen door locked, but the other didn't (wasn't even keyed for a lock). Owners seem nice via email and text, but wow... I would never, ever stay there again and would be embarrassed for anyone else to stay there. It was just pitiful. I managed apts for decades. I would have been fired for leaving a unit-for-rent in that poor of a condition. It needs not just a deep, deep clean but better performance of people regularly cleaning it. This Vrbo is why people are turning to using hotels again.

We stayed here for 11 days in Nov/Dec 2023. This is one of not the best stocked properties. There is toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, laundry detergent, spices, nice cookware…just bring yourself and do a little grocery shopping. SUPER clean, beds a comfortable. Money well spent! Right on the ocean. Master bed faces ocean with sliding doors. Will be repeat renters. ❤️☀️☀️

This property over-books a gorgeous view and has surfing nearby that you can see from the lanai. The property was super clean and well stocked. Beds were very very comfortable. The second bedroom had two twins and our son who is 6’4” said the bed was really comfortable. The only suggestion is that room has an older window that doesn’t shut well. So he wore ear plugs while sleeping. Otherwise he mentioned a lot of road noise during the night. We would definitely rent this again if we return to Kona. Thank you to the host and for stocking this so well especially the island treats.

The condo is comfortable and the view from the Lanai is its true charm. We enjoyed our stay. I recommend that you update the pots, pans, knives & dishwasher.

December 2023

We had a great time and would stay again BUT a couple things would make it nicer. The beds need updated. The queen bed is not comfortable and the unattached headboard bumps against the wall every time you turn over. The couch bed is horrible. Takes two people to open and shut the sliding doors. The view is spectacular.

Pro: beautiful view, on the water. Cons: Where do I start? I have over 20 photos of dirty & poorly maintained items in this condo. We were very disappointed. The kitchen is poorly supplied. We found a glass with lipstick marks in the cupboard. We found no scissors. Blinds that were hung on one side only. Unusable.Very few outlets BUT WORSE: when we used the blender, it blew out the power out on half of the condo. This happened 2 nights until we decided to use the blender on the other side of the condo. There were many areas where something had been hung before, but no spackling of the holes had been done. AND We came home one evening & found the smoke alarms going off. We called the maintenance office &they told us basically to live with it until the morning, but it was beeping! About half an hour later, they came up & pulled the whole assembly down. We asked them to come early in the morning to repair it. But instead, they came while we were out which we had asked them NOT to do. There were laundry pods but, overly scented. Many VRBOs have enough coffee for your stay, not here. The furniture is typical rattan & hawaiian print fabric but in dire need of cleaning! The bar stools are too tall for the bar therefore they are unusable. Honestly, I could go on And as mentioned I have over 20 photos of the unclean & broken/not maintained items. If I could ask for a refund of part of our money I would. This was my first time with VRBO & Vacasa. Might be my last.

We loved our stay here and thought it a great value for a comfortable condo. The sunset view here is just unbeatable and our favorite of the 3 rentals we’d used. (Here, Volcano, & Ko Olina on Oahu). We stayed in a luxury unit on Oahu that cost more than double a night from this condo and we all commented on how much of a better deal this condo was. We had everything we needed and more. The only con was that the air conditioning is on a 4 hour timer and that was a bit annoying. I’d wake up warm, but would just get up and reset it each night. All the pros were so good that the air conditioning timer wasn’t enough to keep us from feeling as if this was still easily a 5 star stay. We saw lots of fish and eels in the tide pools. Da Poke Shack is right there and was delicious. Parking was plentiful and it was a short drive into Kona. My husband and I walked to town once but it was a bit of a hike there and back. Our first night there we were tired from traveling for almost 16 hours and we used Doordash to deliver groceries from Safeway. It was a quick and easy delivery to the condo. Each morning we sat on the lanai and watched a few surfers. We never used the pool but it looked clean and there were plenty of chairs. Check-in and out was easy. There were stairs and an elevator. We enjoyed our stay and definitely would recommend this condo to others. Actually, we already have told friends how much we enjoyed staying here.

The beach photos in the listing are from across the street and should be removed as it's misleading that this is a beach front property. The unit itself is a bit dated and was very stuffy. The building is behind another and receives little air flow. You're not allowed to turn the A/C down past 75 degrees because it will damage the unit. The shower curtain released a moldy smell whenever it was moved and you could see black mildew spots between it and the inner curtain. No elevator is on site so if you have heavy luggage be prepared to lug it up the stairs. The cleaning fee is almost as much as an additional night stay and they want you to clean and do all the bedding laundry before you leave. Why am I paying so much if I have to do the majority of the cleaning? I don't have a problem picking up after myself and leaving things the way I found them but it seemed like a bit much. Livable but wouldn't recommend.

Easy access to town and restaurants and a great place to relax at the end of a busy day of sightseeing! Included all the beach toys too big or too heavy to pack - towels, boogey boards, snorkel equipment, etc. We had fun just outside the door - walking around the tide pools, enjoying the sunsets and watching turtles and surfers. The information in the room from the owner took us to some wonderful snorkeling spots! Awesome vacation!
Katherine D.
December 2023

Great location, easy 5 min drive from downtown Kona and quick access up to Holualoa for a wedding we attended. We will absolutely book this property again in the future - super clean, updated and the beach down below was perfect for an easy beach day. Really appreciated the use of chairs, coolers, umbrellas, etc. The pool at Kona Bali Kai leaves a bit to be desired and the exhaust from the AC unit on the patio makes the balcony for the unit super hot, but it’s worth it to have AC inside the unit :) a great stay and can’t wait to return!

Close to fun beaches, restaurants, able to take walks in the morning in the street walking lane, and watched sea turtles from our balcony! Such a fun and relaxing week. Clean, has plenty of beach towels, has ice, and elevator. Nice big bed in master and twin beds in front bedroom for two separate people, perfect for our family. We enjoyed the hot tub at the pool as well.

December 2023

Overall a great trip. A perfect location with a wonderful view; literally right on the water! The pool was nice and parking was easy and abundant. The second bedroom faces the street and the noise can be very loud. The carpets were old and the age definitely showed. While the master bedroom bed was comfortable, I think perhaps the cleaners could have done a slightly better job.

December 2023

Mike’s communication is excellent. After booking, I received an email with all kinds of helpful information. Directions, restaurants, and activities were all included. The condo was clean and exactly as described. We spent most evenings on the lanai, watching sunsets and even saw the “green flash” on 3 of the 6 nights we stayed. Only saw one turtle once but we watched one evening as a kayaker brought a 3’ blue fin tuna in. Now that is something you don’t see at home. The bed is very comfortable and we slept very well with the waves drowning out much of the traffic noise. The lighting the the bathroom could use some work as it is pretty dark in that room. Despite paying a cleaning fee, you are asked to take out the trash and place towels in the washer and if time permits, put in the dryer. But that would not stop us from renting again if we ever returned to the Big Island.

This place has an astounding view of a set of tidepools that always had turtles! It had a very well stocked kitchen and was exactly what we needed. The poke was out of this world. We initially didn’t get the check in code from VRBO and were checking in very late and Bill answered the phone at 3am his time to get us the code! He gave us excellent suggestions for things to do!
Elizabeth B.
December 2023

After a bit of a rocky start with check in that Mike took care of, our brief time here was really nice. It's all about the waves crashing right below the unit, that's the draw. Unit is nice, bed really comfortable. No A/C and I admit I somehow missed that when I booked so a bit of a shock but in reality you don't need it here. The off shore breeze going through the huge screened lanai keeps things cool. It's really just when getting out of the shower I missed the A/C. I believe many of the condos in this area are without. I would totally stay here again! Fun watching the surfers right there at the unit. Super close to many restaurants and points of interest.

Could not have asked for a better location and the setting was beautiful. Kitchen was well stocked and equiped. Place was very quiet at night and we were lucky enough to be there during a full moon. Spent lots of hours on the lanai watching the sunsets and moon setting. Probably would rank within the top 5 of my vacations.

Property is a little dated, but you can't beat the location. Only thing that was kind of a bummer was that the propane for the BBQ's is taken away at night, which we did not realize and had to alter our dinner plans because of this. All in all, we would definitely stay here again!!

November 2023

The best feature of the room is the amazing lanai (large balcony)! There are 2 loungers, a table, hooks and transparent shades that drop down. There are surfers 300 yards from lanai, all day long LIVE ENTERTAINMENT. Lava rocks at the entrance of ocean and is not friendly for swimming. The lanai glass wall completely opens. The air conditioning worked well. The master bed was comfortable. Storage in closet, and under bed. There was multiple fold up chairs and coolers. There is a pocket wall between the master bedroom and living room. The TV mount allowed easy viewing. The TV was a current smart TV with screen mirroring. The kitchen has plenty of cooking supplies. There were casserole dishes the we used to warm our pre-order meals each night, ordered from Taylored Meals in Kona. The second bedroom had a TV and fan, closet storage but doesn’t have direct air conditioning vents. Hair dryer and washer and dryer in bathroom. In the grass area on the property there are several BBQs. The unit has BBQ equipment. Free public transportation pick up station directing adjacent to property. The bus runs every hour on the hour, was 12-minute ride to downtown. There are multiple grocery stores in Kona we spent our money at local KTA stores several nearby. Holly was wonderful about communication. We would highly recommend this unit. Thank You for a Wonderful 30th Anniversary experience.

November 2023

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was convenient to Kona restaurants and shopping and also to the Kona coffee farms. Nice furniture inside and out. The lanai was very spacious and a good place to enjoy the ocean view. As someone who appreciates good coffee, finding a coffee grinder in the kitchen was a nice touch. A four port charger for devices was in the living room which was useful and not something we usually find in rental properties. There were fans everywhere which helped keep the place cool. It was hot when we visited and the ceiling fan in the master bedroom seemed underpowered compared to the ceiling fans in the rest of the property but the available floor fans helped. Kitchen seemed to have everything you would need. We couldn’t figure out how to turn on the kitchen fan without turning on the kitchen light which was a minor inconvenience. The living room seemed dark with the dark wood and the dark upholstery. Lighter upholstery would have made the room seem brighter.

Spectacular location and view! Sea turtles in the bay below! Quiet!! Some of the most beautiful sunsets we've ever seen.Accommodations were beyond what was expected. Every kitchen utensil you would need, plenty of towels, and comfortable beds. We left the doors open most of the time and only used the AC at bedtime. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Minutes from downtown Kona. If you have any questions the landlords get back to you in a timely manner. Sad to leave, but looking forward to coming again in the future.

Very quiet property except for the sound of the waves. So relaxing. We watched the surfers every day from the deck. Very nice kitchen and loaded with all the cooking and eating utensils you’d need. Master bedroom had very comfortable bed. Cable tv and smart tv with your passwords. Ample Parking and great under cover. Condo convenient to grocery stores and restaurants yet quieter than being downtown. Owner good communication. Condo pool not heated and was pretty cold in the mornings. I assume it heated up toward late afternoon. Condo has lots of beach, snorkeling, and flotation equipment. Condo had everything for staying extended time. Could have used more bathroom towels. We had to wash towels more than we wanted. We would definitely stay here again. It was worth the money.

We like this resort. It is the 4th stay in the complex. First one in this unit. It is clean, parking is easy, the ocean front area is awesome. This unit faces the road but the balcony is huge, comfortable. It has all the amenities you need. We would stay here again.

Waves crashing just below our veranda, gorgeous sunsets, made this an unforgettable ocean stay. We loved the traditional Hawaiian decor, plantation fans and heavy drapes to help unit stay cooler during day while out exploring or golfing. Extremely well-stocked with everything needed and owner easy to reach with questions. A few things not working (like garbage disposal during our stay), but unbelievably perfect spot just high enough for complete privacy, nice covered parking area, comfortable bed with sound of waves and views of ocean, large veranda with eating table and chaise lounges, lots of great books for reading, made our 33rd anniversary trip fabulous. We thank the owners for sharing their unique property and hope to return next year.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Holly's Maui condo, and it was absolutely fantastic! The condo was updated and nicely appointed and offered amazing views of the ocean and tropical surroundings. The location was perfect, with easy access to local attractions, and great restaurants. The condo was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Sunsets from the large lanai were awesome. I would highly recommend this Maui condo to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable Hawaiian vacation.

Spectacularly close to the water! Condo is stocked with snorkelling gear (for 2) beach towels, laundry, and all kinds of kitchen appliances. My only complaint is the 10am checkout. Another note, which did not bother us- it is dated so if you need stylings this is not your spot- but if you’re looking for relaxation on the water- this is it.

Beautiful beach, wake up to surfers on the water every morning. Clean and well equipped condo. They included some cleaning supplies for daily upkeep. Washer and dryer were a great touch.

We stayed here for the Ironman World Championship, and it couldn’t have been any better! It was the perfect location and setting, any questions I had were answered immediately, and I was able to listen to the waves and relax. I would highly recommend this location for the Hawaiian vacation you dream of.

We loved our stay here. The balcony is amazing with beautiful views and surfers to watch. The breeze and the sound of the waves were so relaxing. The unit had everything we needed for our stay. We stayed on 3 islands and this was our favorite rental. Thank you for sharing it with us!

We came here to celebrate our 20th wedding year anniversary!! This is our second time staying here and we are going to keep coming back. If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind look no farther than here. This has all the amenities you can ask for. The kitchen is very well stocked. The best part is having beach chairs and an umbrella. If this was not available you will not stay long at the beaches. Parking is available on site! Popular local restaurants and beaches are nearby. The lanai and the view is going to blow your mind away. You are going to see great sunsets. You are going to see surfers mornings and evenings. The sound of the ocean was the best part, we had the best sleep ever so relaxing. So what are you waiting for book this condo!

This Kona Condo was just what I needed! It’s well stocked with everything from cooking needs to beach equipment! Truly felt like home! With the AC unit in the living room, the bedroom was a bit warm when I arrived, but there are many fans so I set one up in the hall to blow cool air in there- worked like a charm!

Holly thank you for your recommendation of this rental. It was one of the best VRBO properties we have stayed at. Attention to details and all of the improvements and amenities enhanced our stay here. This was a top notch condo in a great section of Kona. An added bonus was the gorgeous sunsets. We would highly recommend this property.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful oceanfront retreat. The views off the balcony & even from the bed were absolutely breathtaking - especially at sunset. We even saw dolphins our first morning! The condo was clean, spacious & well-equipped with beach essentials (chairs, umbrella, coolers, towels, etc.) as well as household essentials (toiletries, condiments, spices for cooking, etc.) which really came in handy for us when our airline lost our luggage! We loved having access to in-unit laundry as well. The condo’s location was convenient for a quick Uber into downtown for dinner/drinks also. We would gladly stay again! Mahalo!

Good location and space!! Need some improvements like , carpet cleaning, a new trash can at the kitchen, and a fix on the window screen to avoid the entrance of cockroach.

Two problems: Washer did not work properly Toliet handle did not work properly. Also extra fees were not included in the online listed .

This property was nicely located out of the busyness of downtown but close enough to venture in if needed. A little tricky to find the proper parking entrance the first time. All of that is secondary to the amazing nightly views of the sun setting and the morning coffee sunrise. If we are ever down that way again we will certainly try to score this place for lodging.
