Summer Deal Oceanfront Kona 3BR Vacation Rental with Private Lanai

The location of the condo rates 5 stars for proximity to all the places we wanted to see and the fact that it was right on the beach but we had a lot of issues with it. When we first arrived, there were tiny bugs crawling all over the kitchen counter. I was told that they were coming out that day to do the routine spraying outside but it never improved. There were bug bait/traps in the bedroom and kitchen so this must be an ongoing issue. We had to keep all of our food items in the refrigerator or microwave to keep the bugs out. One night, a large bug crawled into my daughters pajamas as she slept. Needless to say, she was very freaked out by this. Coldwell Banker did offer to come inside and spray but I declined as I did not want my family exposed to those chemicals newly sprayed in our living area. In addition, the bedding in the bedrooms was stained, there were no extra blankets, the sliding glass door to the lanai locked us out several times (luckily one of us was inside to let us back in!), closet doors did not slide well and smashed fingers, and the curtains in the ocean side bedroom were broken so we could not close them. Also, the TV in one of the bedrooms was broken. I reported it but as we probably weren't going to use it, I declined to have it replaced. I expected more for what it cost to rent this condo and was disappointed in the quality that we got.

The unit overlooked the beach and was wonderful to sit and have coffee on the deck each morning.Used the Hot tub one night very enjoyable.

Great condo with excellent ocean views! The condo was exactly as described, and the view is even better than the pictures can show. It was easy to check in and out, and the property managers were easy to get in contact with. We spent a lot of time in the condo as unfortunately the large Kona low moved in and stayed for the first few days of our trip, but the condo is well equipped and spacious enough it was easy for us all to spread out. The surrounding area is quiet, and the shared green space was well maintained. We would absolutely stay in this wonderful condo again!

The condo was wonderful. Very comfortable and the views and sunsets were amazing. We enjoyed the small beach area.

Kona Bali Kai has been one of our favorite places to stay. The view and sound of crashing surf is great. Surfers, whales, dolphins, boats, sunsets—so much to watch from the lanai keep you entertained. The pool area is nicely kept. The condo itself was nice and mostly updated, comfortable, and attractive, but sadly the condo complex is showing signs of its age. The parking garage is actually falling apart, the carpets and stairways are dingy and dirty, many of the chairs for sitting on the lawn are cracked and broken. It is sad that one of our favorite places seems to be going downhill fast. Hope the condo association takes care of the entire complex because it has a wonderful setting, It’s a bit scary to walk through a parking garage where chunks of concrete and exposed wiring could fall on your head or car.

We enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the waves crash right in front of us. There are not many places closer to water. We saw a few turtles, whales and a lot of fish from the lanai.

Right on the ocean - beautiful sunsets - can watch surfers every morning

It was an awesome stay. Everything went smooth and we so enjoyed the apartment and the location. I would recommend this place over and over again. No complaints!

Clean spacious and welcoming

It was beautiful.

We were three adults and a 5-year-old and stayed in this unit for six nights. It was clean, well-equipped and perfect for the little one. She really enjoyed the pool, the small beach and the little tide pools. But you must be VERY careful! The waves and tide can come up. And you definitely want rubber soled beach shoes to walk on the rocks. Also, I don’t believe the TV has cable or satellite (or I couldn’t get it going) but it is a smart TV so your subscriptions will work. I asked the property manager about that by text but got no reply. Not a huge problem though. I also used an HDMI connection to stream my satellite service from home to watch on the big screen. You might want to do the same.

This is a great unit but you do have to put up with a lot of noise from the public beach next door (surfers talking at 6am below the window), drunk teenagers screaming occasionally at midnight in the park, and lots of traffic noise. The ocean side master bedroom does not hear any of this however. Also it could really use some more basic dishes, like a few plastic or acrylic dishes and wine glasses (there was only one wine glass), and the towels need a refresh. We also only had 3 really worn beach towels for 6 people. This unit is also the farthest from the elevator so something to consider since we had a wheelchair family member. Other than that, it's a great location and has nice updates inside.

Clean condo and responsive managers. Amazing view, and right over a beach and great tide pools. Totally agree with the request to do dishes and take out garbage daily to avoid bugs but felt ripped off that the management company didn’t supply enough garbage bags or dishwasher pods for the whole stay and we had to buy a full box of each to accommodate the last 4 nights.

Had a great stay, though there was an issue they made it right.The place had an amazing location with a small convenience store across the street, poke and tacos nearby, and some of the best surfing and sunset views you can find! One note is that only the master bedroom and living room have in-wall A/C, the rest have ceiling fans but if you sleep hot you may want the master.All was great, would stay here again

Our stay in this condo was fantastic. The location and views were excellent. We were able to see whales, dolphins manatee's and beautiful sunsets from our balcony. Looking forward to staying at this condo again as we loved it.

Lovely visit- easy to use space for all our family members
