Kona Bali Kai #305 | Absolute Oceanfront | AC | Updated | Overlooking Banyans surf spot.

The condo was clean and very comfortable. The host was very responsive and nice. We will stay there again.

The room is very dirty/dusty, the people in the room above ours sounded like they were moving furniture every night at all hours, and the property manager banged on our door (scared us to death) screaming that we were smoking.. then texted the person we were renting from that smoke was coming out when we opened the door (which is a flat out lie, my husband has horrible asthma and I can assure you we were not smoking). I would not recommend this place at all… stay far away!

Great location, and we absolutely loved the view from the balcony. We absolutely would stay again. Cleanliness was somewhat lacking, though. We found dirty dishes in the cabinets. The bedding in the master bedroom was covered in hair, and the pillowcases were stained.

Property was good, views breathtaking. Just a couple of mornings has some folks smoking pot on the compound wall in front of the beech. The stench of that was unbearable and we could not sit outside and enjoy our breakfast. All else was wonderful and the sunset was awesome. You will have to go down and enjoy the sunset though.

There were lots of things to love about this place. I would give the condo itself 5 stars for cleanliness, view, and proximity to the beach. The amenities were great; kitchen was well stocked and had sharp knives (I was pleasantly surprised); beach gear was plentiful. We had dreamy sunsets every evening and loved watching the surfers. We loved getting fresh coconuts from the store downstairs too! We checked in late at night, and the instructions provided to us were unclear as to where to park. That was a little confusing late at night, but we figured it out.I can't believe no one has mentioned the loud vehicles gunning their extremely loud motors outside the facility. I'm not talking about regular road noise. I'm talking about motors so loud that it jolts you out of your sleep in the middle of the night (especially if you're in the second bedroom). To be fair, maybe there's not much the owners can do except make sure the people in their lot are actual patrons of Kona Bali Kai. There seemed to be a lot of this in Kona. There seemed to be sketchy people hanging around the beach regularly after dark. There were some definite cons about this location, but I can't deny the beautiful, clean beach and access to Kona. I loved being right on the oceanfront. That was special. In spite of the significant cons I mentioned, we still managed to have our best vacation ever. Hawaii is pretty amazing.

This property site is perfect for Kona stay. We truly loved it. Clean, parking , water front view . The best art of the day to sit on patio and watch the waves and surfers . Has beach towels for you to use . We are so thankful for this wonderful opportunity to be here . Blessing

Beautiful unit, great views, loved all the amenities within (owner provided beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, plenty of dishware). Look forward to coming back!

Nice place.

This host was 5 star as far as his quick communication when an issue arose with the AC. He was amazing and attentive. The furniture was a little outdated and the mattress we slept on was very hard; but that may be a personal preference. We did have an ant problem in the kitchen and they got into all of the food we had on the counter, like cereal boxes. We come from a dry climate and didn't even realize that could be an issue, and it was. The location was good and the parking was great. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that the inside furniture was outdated, the ants, and the hard mattress.

We had an amazing view to watch the waves and surfers. The location is conveniently near to the waterfront businesses and other beaches.

The condo was exactly as advertised. Maybe even better! Watching the surfers every morning and evening was amazing. There was plenty of good supplies for the beach trips. Chairs, towels, masks and snorkels, a cooler. The kitchen had everything needed to make a meals when we stayed in.Tim's communication was first class. I highly recommend the condo.

Perfect location. View can not be beat. Four adults room for everyone. AC was a god send the first few nights. Was very humid. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Loved the filtered water pitcher. My adult nephew even said the hide a bed wasn't to bad. Loved the beach chairs. They also had umbrellas , beach toys and a couple boogie boards. I made a mistake and booked the wrong check out date. Lucky for me they were able to accommodate us another night, even a lower rate then we book. Definitely will look into staying here again.

This is my Favorite Place to stay in Kona. The water wasn't Hot, but the Host responded immediately and it was fixed immediately. I love the spot and you have Banyan Mart across the street and the Taco Stand right next door. No need to go anywhere when you get there. Love it and will be back!!

The actual condo was very nice. Seemed recently updated and well equipped. The view was spectacular. The overall condominium property was shabby. The pool and spa were clean and had nice loungers and tables with umbrellas. It’s was a good value overall.

Beautiful view from the lanai, convenient location, thoughtful amenities for folks on a tropical vacation!

Great spot. Would absolutely stay here again.

This was a great location. Going to sleep and waking up to the ocean was amazing. Saying this is an “ocean view “ is an understatement. I like the location just out side the most touristy area of Kona but still a few min drive away was nice. I don’t like having to deal with drunk partiers in the middle of the night, and at this location we had none of that. Everyone on the complex was just normal friendly people. Banyans, a local surf spot is right outside the window, which we enjoyed watching the surfers. (This is an advanced surfing location with plenty of rocks, so beginners should go about a mile down the street for surfing). The condo was great for our family of 4.

Wonderful stay! View was amazing to start and end you day. We would definitely stay here and in this unit again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kona Bali Kai. The condo was clean, comfortable, and right on the ocean—the highlight was relaxing on the lanai and watching surfers just steps away. The location is peaceful but still close to downtown Kona. Having a kitchen and in-unit laundry made things easy, and Da Poke Shack downstairs was a tasty bonus. The only downside is tha the beachfront isn't swim-able and walking to the beach is a long, hot walk in traffic.Would definitely stay here again!

Love this Spot. Get to watch Surfers all Day. Taco place next door, Banyan Mart across the street. Condo is Great. A/C is Nice!! Stayed here a few times, will come back soon.

Everything you need. Clean, cozy, comfortable, nice pool and hot tub, and amazing views. What more can you ask for? We loved this space, and hope to do it again next year.

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.

Great views here and sounds of the waves all day. 2d bedroom on street side - so no views and sometimes street noise. Great location close to downtown Kona — convenient parking - enjoyed our stay.

Great oceanfront location with views of surfers. Can walk to downtown Kona about 2 miles.

Great location. Kitchen well stocked. Deck nice for storing scuba equipment and relaxing with ocean view. Good use of pool and spa. 2 BR, 2 Bath made accommodations comfortable for 2 couples.

View was great - we spent many hours watching surfers, fish, and sunsets. Master bedroom - nice view, liked having it open to the living room with option of sliding door closed, comfortable bed, A/C cools off room well En-suite bathroom - good amount of counter and cabinet space, large mirror, shower had good pressure & hot water Secondary bedroom - comfortable bed, warmer than rest of room but host provided multiple fans in addition to ceiling fan so it worked out, closet and dresser space Hallway bathroom - Good water pressure in shower, heated up quickly, all good Laundry - Really convenient to have washer and dryer in the unit Kitchen - Well-stocked utensils, cookware, serving ware, dining ware options; coffee pot was straight-forward and worked like a champ for all our Kona brews; appreciated having ice cube trays in the freezer; lovely view while washing dishes Dining/living room - Appreciated all the ceiling fans, kitchen chairs more comfortable than they looked, clean Other site amenities - Parking went smoothly and there were plenty of options, we used the pool & hot tub a few times (liked that the pool deck shower was heated), Da Poke Bowl on site was excellent, staff were friendly and helpful We would totally stay here again!

The condo was just as advertised great location, great condo, and easy access to just about everything. I want to first state that all the years we have been coming to Hawaii this place had one of the best air conditioners for a condo at this price point. Sitting on the lanai watching the surfers was a destination in itself, we had to force ourselves to leave in the morning and couldn’t wait to get back for sunset. If there was any room for improvement it would be the mattress in the master bedroom it’s time to update it. We loved our stay and will definitely rebook on our next trip in a few months. Thanks for letting us stay at your condo!
