The condo was just as advertised in the listing. Very clean, well stocked, extremely comfy beds and pillows, a view to die for, and great location close to everything! No bugs, couldn't hear the neighbors, and great lanai. Only slight issue was the 2nd bedroom is close to the main street and kind of noisy, but we brought a sound machine so it wasn't aproblem. No AC but the ocean breeze makes it comfy.

Our family had a great stay. Check in was a breeze! The property was kinda centrally located to all the things we wanted to do and beach access was right there! It was awesome waking up to watch the surfers in the morning and enjoying daily magnificent sunsets in the evening!

Beautiful condo in old building. Fully renovated and current except NO AC. You can open up to vent out some of the heat and humidity but a simple upgrade of a mini split air conditioner would make this place a perfect 10.

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

This was the perfect place for our ladies’ trip! Watching the surfers and the sunset from the lanai was so awesome ! The condo had everything we needed, and we loved the little beach and the pool! Parking was easy ( not to be taken for granted!) and another big plus was that “Da Poke Shack” is in the same complex!
Can’t wait to stay there again on our next trip to Hawaii!

Outstanding view. Great facilities. Convenient parking. Safe. Large lanai with nice furniture. Comfortable beds. Very modern washer/dryer set. Watched surfers and big waves all day long. Da Poke Shack restaurant was wonderful and on-site. Banyan Market across the street had nice assortment of food and beverages. Two miles from Kailua Kona center, so car necessary. Bus was available. Farmers market and taco stand short walking distance. Magic Sands Bar and Grill is one mile south.

Beautiful view, absolutely clean and comfortable. Would absolutely stay again. Condo is on the second floor, with plenty of parking spaces occupying the first floor. Living area and master bedroom open to a big west facing lanai and crashing ocean waves. There is a small sandy beach for lounging with a sandy wading area for smaller kids, but mostly lava rock beach. Ceiling fans in living room, bedrooms and lanai. New washer and dryer. Well stocked kitchen, with all the tools and cookware necessary to actually cook. Even a crockpot and things like soy sauce and vinegars from previous guests. Amenities you always wonder about, like laundry detergent, dish soap, beach towels, were included. Lots of things like aluminum foil and paper plates were available. Suggest taking a look at what's there before purchasing anything. Property manager was excellent, both respectfully attentive and unobtrusive. She communicated an unanticipated and no-fault maintenance glitch that affected time of checkin and resolved it promptly.

We loved our stay at Kona Bali Kai. Kathy’s place was very well furnished and included all of the items needed to spend a day at the beach. The view from the lanai was unbeatable.
