You cannot get a better location than this condo. Sleep to the sound of the ocean. Very close to town and other beaches. Quiet condo complex. The tide pooling was amazing right out in front of the condo. Sandy beach strip which is hard to find on the Kona side

We have stayed at various KBK properties for the past 20 years. This unit has wonderful views and the host is very responsive as is his local contact. Unit is a bit dated though clean and appointed with everything one needs for a great stay. Our only wish, especially for the price point, is that the unit had a/c for the 3:30 to 5:30pm hot part of the day or additional shades to keep the unit cooler when there are no breezes during those warm hours.

We really enjoyed this two bedroom condo. The unit was sparkling clean and well-stocked with anything we could have needed. The grounds are great and well maintained. Tide pools were fun to explore. Waves crashing and beautiful sunsets when we were “home”. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything about this place was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed the view, the seating, the beds and the kitchen was well appointed.
I honestly think it was one of the best VRBO's we have ever stayed at.
Thanks for sharing your nice property.

The location of this rental is right on the water. We could hear the ocean and see the ocean the entire time we were there. There isn’t a great place to walk out into the water but that wasn’t the purpose of our stay. This location was easy to get to restaurants, golf courses, and other activities we wanted to take advantage of. My only complaint is that we had to leave. It’s hard to say bye to paradise.

Quiet location within Kona Bali Kai. Residence is comfortable, some updating would be beneficial. Really appreciated beach chairs etc. A larger lanai would have been nice.
We really appreciated our host, quick to respond & deal with issues.

Everything about our stay went well - communication with Bob was on time and very helpful. Condo was clean and very well equipped for travelers with items like beach towels and snorkel gear. Location was perfect - a few blocks away from all of the hustle and bustle of downtown Kona but minutes from boat launches for snorkeling. We loved the quietness and the views from the lanai were great - nothing beats breakfast watching local surfers and stunning sunsets!

Although this property is situated right on Alii drive - it’s situated right on Alii drive in Kona! The suite was clean and comfortable. All amenities that I needed right at hand. Ocean was directly across the street (you can see the waves from the Kano window. Not even a 2 minute walk to the beach/lawn area. Lawn furniture readily available at the times I went out. Pool was chilly, my grand kids loved it and it was a good shady spot to cool off. There is a free trolley service up and down the length of Alii drive with numerous stops. Ask at the desk for a copy of the schedule. No rental required to come and go right to town. A/C and WIFI worked great in the unit. Road was a bit noisy but I got used to it. Overall a great stay in this unit

This is our third time staying at the condo! It is so clean and well equipped for cooking and light cleaning. The lanai is where we spend most of the time as we watch the surfers at Banyan's and the fish in the tidepools. We really appreciate pulling down the sun shades as the sun makes its way towards the west and the ceiling fans on the lanai and throughout the condo help keep us cool. Easy parking and the elevator are really helpful for my older mother. Last but not least, Holly, the property manager is fantastic! We know she will do whatever she can to make our short stay the best it can be.

Unbeatable ocean views. Unit was nicely appointed but had a few small things that could make it just that much better - couple kitchen cabinets don’t close, pillows are flat, and balcony screen door badly needs to be fixed. Overall, great spot.

This condo was an awesome home-base for our family vacation. The view from the lanai was unbeatable - one of the main reasons we booked it - and it was all exactly as we had hoped. We appreciated the extra attention to detail with the decor in this unit and the higher-end appliances and furniture.

Overall a good experience! Issue one night with no water which turned out to be the property maintenance people turned off a water valve during work which affected a few units. Not the owners fault and got resolved quickly.

The condo is lovely and a great location. Next to the best poke on the island. Magic Sands Beach a mile away, shops and restaurants two miles the other direction. Well equipped kitchen, loved the oils and spices. Boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers available. Mike was great to deal with.

This is a comfy unit in a great location in Kona.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay and would consider it again in the future as we come to the Big Island every couple years. The views are spectacular from the spacious lanai, and having 2 bathrooms and the extra bedroom space was great. There is an elevator halfway down the building and luggage carts available so the 4th floor location worked fine for us when we needed to bring our Costco groceries, bags, etc... up to the unit.
The location is ideal as we were not too close to the busy Kona town center, but the beaches, markets, and restaurants were nearby for a walk or a short drive.
We cooked meals on-site several times, and the grills located down next to the water were well maintained and clean. There are folding chairs and some beach amenities available as well which came in handy. The kitchen is pretty well appointed but you may need to bring salt/pepper/spices to prepare your meals.
As noted this unit does not have A/C and the afternoon sun can be pretty warm. We were able to use the sun shades and the 2 fans provided to keep the place cool, so it was fine, but if you need to be in air conditioning you might not be happy here. Additionally, the king bed mattress probably needs to be replaced. There is a noticeable "dent" on the bathroom side of it. We used some of the extra sheets provided in the unit to fill it in and that worked to flatten it out to some extent.
All-in-all, this was a great home base for our vacation.

We had a wonderful stay at Kona Bali Kai overlooking the ocean. The property was perfect for us and I especially loved the Hawaiian artwork. I definitely recommend staying here if you plan to visit Kona and are looking for something ocean front.

The location was ideal for us, and was a beautiful view! We had a great stay, the property was clean, well organized and the check in was easy. Pool looked clean and refreshing, although we did not have an opportunity to utilize it. Our only want, a bit more of a selection of pots/ skillets, and cooking utensils… but everyone is different. We would definitely recommend and would visit again if our travels bring us back to the area.

This condo really is great. It has everything you could want. We tend to cook a lot when we stay in a rental and we found everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen. The bed was comfortable and I love the ceiling fans. We ate every meal on the lanai and that was our go to place in the mornings and evenings. The condo is exactly 2 miles from the Coconut Grove Market, and only a 1/2 mile from the Ali'i Marketplace. I ran and walked down Ali'i Road daily for one reason or another. On-site parking and laundry in the unit are also big pluses! Bob was wonderful to deal with and very responsive.
The only negative for me was the bathmats. Please invest in some new ones. I couldn't tell if they really hadn't been washed or are well used and stained. This is easily fixable though and would not preclude me from recommending this great place. We had an issue getting in (which apparently was user error on our part). We didn't realize that you turn the key and push the door open at the same time, so Bob came and rescued us so we could get in. Once that mystery was solved, everything was great. Hopefully that pro-tip saves you the call.

We stayed for 8 nights and the property was beautiful. The condo had a great floorplan with the primary bedroom open to the ocean and a second bedroom/bathroom conveniently off the kitchen. The kitchen was very well equipped with appliances and spices, even some lovely unopened leftovers in the fridge when we arrived. Instructions from Mike prior to our visit were very helpful, and he was very responsive when we contacted him about a minor issue. The property is gorgeous, right on the ocean, and we could even watch green sea turtles from our lanai feeding in the tide pools just yards away. I highly recommend this condo for a stay in Kona!!!

Condo was very quiet and comfortable, lots of beach towels and chairs, convenient location (we had a car). Spent a lot of time on lanai watching surfers and listening to waves. Not an issue for us, but bedroom closest to lanai had accordion door for privacy as it opened into living room.
Holly (host) was very responsive to questions and checked in with us to be sure there were no difficulties with check in or condo questions.

This place was pretty clean and a convenient location. Wish I knew they had all the beach equipment including 2 snorkel sets as we spent money renting those. We never did check out Bantans beach but the pool area was nice and right by Da Poke restaurant which was amazing. Very small peekaboo view of beach but not far to walk across and view sunsets and beach. Close to downtown Kona.

This property was absolutely amazing! The condo is very nice, well furnished, and has a quintessential Hawaiian feel. The location could not be better, just a short way from downtown, and with a beautiful view right on the ocean. Some of the best parts of our trip were sitting on the lanai enjoying the beautiful sunsets and some fresh local fruit from the nearby market, and the occasional glimpse of sea turtles just below us. We hope to return to stay again!
