The location is so beautiful right on the ocean. Big beautiful view of part of the coastline and the endless ocean. The unit is so so. Nice living room with a comfy couch and the sound of the ocean. The lanai the big! The master bedroom is good and the bed comfy. The bathroom wasn’t that clean. Dirt on the cupboards. Nice new shower but, the rest of the bathroom is old.
The other bedroom wasn’t used but, the bedding was old and not very inviting. The 2nd bathroom was old. The kitchen was horrible. From, very cheap dishes, cups, missing some things, an over abundance of items in the cupboards, and dirty dishes were pulled out of the cupboards and silverware drawer. The available things for cooking were scarce. Don’t plan on cooking much here. I had also sent a message to the host the day before our arrival to request an early check in. I also left a voicemail. No one ever replied to either message.

The condo was nicely done and very comfortable. The building was worn in the underground parking was a little difficult because the spaces were very close together. However, it was nice to have underground parking.

This beautiful unit sits in a very modest complex, however the views and cleanliness of this superbly appointed condo will impress you! Holly is a 5 star host! Everything you need is in this unit. Ample parking too. We will definitely return!

The master shower control valve needs to be fixed.
It only puts out extremely HOT water or COLD water. Nothing in between
Also, the listing should mention there is no central air conditioning.

The condo was everything the pictures and description represented: stunning views, clean and comfortable, and nicely appointed. We watched turtles in the tide-pools, and beautiful sunsets at night. The building itself is older, but well maintained. Location was great, just a couple of miles from the downtown area of Kailua-Kona. Parking was easy, and the Poke Shack that adjoins the property was a nice treat! Courtney and Lee were phenomenal hosts, and their communication was excellent. We had one minor issue with a ceiling fan, and they had it fixed right away. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

Small and quaint bungalow located on the third story of a complex. The space was clean and rather cozy for our needs.
Other than a panic of a double booking from another platform than VRBO, it was smooth sailing.

Our ocean view & small beach was great! We enjoyed watching surfers.Loved the ocean breeze & sunset was awesome. Liked watching the tide pools which had some turtles, yellow fish & lots of crabs running about. A turtle visited our beach for a short rest & dolphins could be seen from balcony. Unfortunately the noise on the street side made it hard to sleep. Talking at all hours & traffic noise. Would be nice to have quiet zone as people on street don't
realize how loud they are. The condo was very clean & comfortable beds.

Grant’s place is clean and very comfy! We loved the mattress and appreciated things like the smart tv. We had some issues with check-in, but luckily Grant was quick to respond. If you have a car, this is a great locaton. If you’re on foot there isn’t much within easy walking distance (except for Da Poke Shack, which is THE BEST!) but you can still get to town in 20 min or so. If you have a car, it’s perfect. I wouldn’t have hesitation about staying here again.

We enjoyed our stay at this Kona Bali Kai condo. The view from the lanai is amazing & the ocean breezes & sounds of the surf fill the whole unit in the best way. The accommodations were comfortable & clean, and the owner was very responsive to any questions that came up. We would highly recommend this rental condo.

When we walked into this rental we both were aghast. The rental was in the middle if being cleaned, and there was no one around. The whole place was dark and dirty. The pictures did not accurately depict the small size of the rooms or the balcony. The pool area was not inviting. Upon contacting the host, she said that there must have been a communication glitch with the cleaning crew. She offered us another rental in the complex, but we found another place to stay and received a refund.

Great place to stay. Beautiful oceanfront property. Away from hustle and bustle of Kailua-Kona but close enough to easily drive into town.

Property was just as listed and we enjoyed the breathtaking view from the lanai each morning. Location was great, easy drive to town and parking was simple and close to the condo making trips back and forth a breeze! Enjoyed the beach equipment they had available for use as well- snorkels, pool noodles, boogie board, beach chairs, beach towels, and cooler for our beach outings! Make sure to bring shampoo/conditioner/body wash as only hand soap was included with the rental, which was no issue for us :)

Can’t beat the location of this property/unit; right on the water, lovely large lanai to enjoy both early morning coffee (and surfers) and gorgeous sunsets in the evening. Loved being on the 4th floor and leaving our sliders open to hear the surf. The unit has had some renovations, the kitchen is upgraded and well stocked, the two bathrooms have new tile showers and vanity counters. Not a fan of carpet in rentals, if I was really being picky I would say that it was not nice in the bedroom.
Didn’t use the pool but many in the complex did and seemed to enjoy. The only complaint I would have was the community bbq, only two of the burners worked so only used it the one time. Would I stay again, absolutely!

We stayed for five nights and had a great time. The view off the balcony is absolutely amazing. Every night we had a beautiful sunset. The condo is very homey and welcoming. We felt right at home. If we return to Kona we will definitely want to stay here again.

Kona Bali Kai delivered exactly as hoped. The view is incredible, Da Poke Shack is on site. Enjoy Hawaii by day and a prime view of the Pacific from the lanai at your pleasure. The walk to the Kona market center on Ali'i is a little busy but it is flat and has designated pedestrian/bike lanes on both sides.
We loved it!

Convenient location. Unit is next to Alii road and noisy. Also, there were ants and bugs ib the kitchen cabinets, drawers counters and under the sink. The unit need to have an exterminator treatment.

We loved that this condo was in a quieter, less busy area. It was convenient we could hop on a bus to the shopping village (the bus seemed to arrive at 40 after the hour and ran every hour - we had a hard time figuring out the times it arrived at the stops). The home had everything needed for cooking. It was clean and fit our needs perfectly. It's not exactly beach-front, but there is two small sandy areas where one could put their feet in the water, relax, and/or watch the sunset. The beach view was a plus! Absolutely beautiful!

Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would recommend Mike's place to friends and family. Mike is great at communication and very organized. The place was very well stocked. We really enjoyed using the boogie boards. We loved dinners on the balcony watching the sunset.
The only thing that could be improved was that one of the twin beds was worn out and squeaking badly.
Thanks.

We enjoyed our stay, especially with the beach pretty much being our backyard. The atmosphere was very chill. Terry was nothing but kind and generous our whole stay. The pool was right outside of our door and was always available to take a dip in and relax. I absolutely loved chillin on the balcony when we got in at night. Everything about our trip was great and Terry made sure he was available for us at anytime. Can’t wait to visit the island again!

We rented three different units for our family birthday vacation. Location was nice to walk/run for morning exercise as well as to walk to nearby farmers markets. Lanai was great to watch whales, turtles, and local surfers. Sleeping with the waves was therapeutic. Lovely island - we will be back to visit.

The view could not have been better. We loved the surf, the tidepools, the palm trees, and the ability to rest and have meals on the lanai. We even watched whales for several minutes from the lanai. Surfers were present off to the left. Although we didn't use it, the free trolley stopped right across the street. Da Poke Shop was there on the property, and handy for lunch. The pool was beautiful. It is a wonderful property, and we would definitely rent here again.

The condo is super clean, very nice, and has the most amazing views. Beds were comfortable and kitchen has most everything you could need. Watching the surfers every morning while eating breakfast was awesome too. We also loved that one of the bedrooms had twin beds for our kids. Great location as well, not far from the airport or any shopping needing done. Would stay here 100 times over!

Fantastic views with a nice lava cove plus some sandy beach. The best of both with seeing turtles and tropical fish. Great view of the sunset and moonset. The best part is the view from the living room and master bed is of the ocean! Awesome!

We didn’t spend a lot of time at the condo during the day, but it’s in a great location for doing various day trips. It had everything we needed and the view from the lanai was fantastic. We took advantage of the small farmers market next door on Saturday and Sunday. It was also really nice to have beach chairs and a boogie board to use. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

The condo is just as described. We spent many hours on the lanai. We saw turtles almost daily and saw two whales one day. Sleeping to the sound of the waves was great. Every morning we watched the surfers while eating breakfast. The condo had everything we could want, beach chairs, cooler, boogie boards. The tv in the living room quit working and the host answered me right away and had it replaced with in 3 hours. Would definitely stay again.

The location is as close as you can get to the ocean! Our unit was impeccable. It was very clean and updated to perfection with all supplies one could need. Turtles, surfers, and ships in clear view daily. The host is perfect. Very nice and quick to assist. It's comforting to know she was there and so responsive if we needed anything. The exterior of the resort could use some updating, but we would stay here again for the location and the comfort that this unit provided.

The condo is described as oceanfront. While the condo building is on the ocean, this condo fronts onto a very busy road. If you stay here, you will not hear the ocean. Rather, you will hear lots of very loud trucks, motorcycles, and cars. The owners photos and description are very clever in not showing this flaw. Stay someplace else!

We were very comfortable with 5 guests. The sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable. The views are amazing-we saw whales, sea turtles, tons of fish and sea creatures. The pool is nice. The condo had a cooler, beach chairs and beach towels. There is a great surf break directly in front of the condos.
Highly recommend!

I noticed the place was not as clean as it should have been. Then we noticed the ants, I contacted the owner, who blamed the cleaners. We had to kill ants every time we walked into the kitchen, this was more than a not cleaning well enough issue. Then 2 nights before we left we saw roaches. I again contacted the owner who said she could get some one in there to spray, but with only 2 nights left we did not want to get sick from the fumes. There were other things, AC was leaking, she got someone in right away to fix that. The bathroom off of the main bedroom had a cold water faucet that fell off in my husband's hand. Then the shower did not get hot water only warm, so we used the other bathroom shower off of the kitchen. There were so many little things that added up to frustration, the roaches were the worst. It is a lot of money to have to kill ants every time in the kitchen. If you stay here and don't mind the issues, enjoy the lanai, it's the best part along with the ocean front property where turtles like to spend time.

The unit was exactly as described and pictured. Had plenty of the basic necessities and was well furnished. We would stay here again. We rented a total of 3 units all from different hosts. Our unit was the only one that didn't provide extras like pool noodles, beach chairs, beach umbrella, snorkels, etc. Since the other rooms had it, it wasn't a big deal, but that addition would make this unit perfect. The small cooler provided was a big help and plenty of ice cube trays to make ice for our day trips. No issues at all with appliances and the fans and air units worked great.

The view of the ocean and sunsets can only be rivaled by the sound of the waves crashing into the rocks and the sea turtles in the tide pool. I cannot express enough how amazing the view is. Being the end unit on the top floor means a private lanai. It is located just a smidge south of the main Kona drag making it quiet, yet convenient. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite things about staying there was hearing the birds chirping every morning. The grounds were well maintained and we loved using the BBQ to cook our dinners. We really enjoyed having the ceiling fans in the living room and in the bedroom. It was nice to walk across the street each evening to watch the sunset on the ocean, just beautiful! I would stay there again.

Our family of 4 had a lovely stay! And Mike was so easy to communicate with. This condo has just about anything you could need, from beach chairs to laundry detergent, and it was so fun waking up and watching the surfers from the lanai. Hope to be back in the future.
