Kona Bali Kai 214 Oceanfront

Overall, we had a great time on the Big Island. Sunsets were beautiful. The screen and glass sliding doors to the lanai weren’t working properly.

We had a very nice stay at this property. The views did not disappoint, we were able to watch the dolphins play each morning. Unit had everything we needed including items for the beach ~ towels, coolers, boogie boards, chairs, etc. Nice upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms. The photos make the rooms appear a little larger than in person, but there was plenty of space for our family of 3. Make sure you know all your personal logins for the TV services. Unit and complex were clean and we did not hear any noise from the other tenants or after hours from the pool. Easy travel distance to get to a grocery store or main roads. Too long of a walk if you wanted to walk down to the shops and restaurants. Parking was on-sight and convenient. Not part of the VRBO but a tip - unless you plan ahead and get to the shops/restaurants early, you will pay to park. Cons from our perspective - the unit and its proximity to the ocean, you do hear the waves rolling all night. That may be OK for some people and others not. Not a large selection of sleeping pillows if you are picky about the type of pillow you need. Overall, I would recommend this property to others.

This was my first trip to Hawaii and my first time using Vrbo. The unit was very spacious and well stocked with almost anything you needed. It was clean and well maintained(if you really want to be nit-picky, you can always find something wrong). The view was worth it alone as we spent a great deal of time on the balcony. We also used the provided snorkel gear to go down the road and spend time at the beach and enjoyed some amazing snorkeling. The pool was also very nice and the bbq areas were also great. Also make sure to enjoy some Coco Love in the attached store. Highly recommend.

Unit was as described, full equipped. Beach gears was a welcome additions. Ocean literally at your door!

The property was very nice and clean! We look forward to staying here in the future again.

The property was well-stocked in all kitchen, bath and beach essentials. It was very clean and convenient to restaurants and beaches. The building was not special but in good condition for it's age (1970's?) the lanai has it all and we spent a lot of time being mesmerized by the ocean.

Lovely condo with everything you need. Steps from the ocean, waves lull you to sleep, watch the surfers, magnificent sunsets. Close to town, other beaches and shopping center. We will return.

Excellent, well-equipped oceanfront condo! Everything was excellent! Perfect place for waves from your bedroom, lanai dining, kitchen and bed were excellent. Look no further.

Our unit was in a perfect position, ocean view from the patio and pool out the front door. It has everything you could want, was clean, bed was comfortable and lying in bed every night listening to the waves rolling in was heaven oh and the sunsets from the patio were unbelievably beautiful.

The unit was very spacious clean in well appointed. You could hear the ocean roar all the time. The view was spectacular. The property was very well tended to. Great areas to grill and picnic. Parking and very close to town. I would return again easily.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Kona Bali Kai 214. The unit was spacious and it was great to have two bathrooms as well as two king sized beds. The view is incredible, and we spent every evening watching the sunset. The location is good, close to restaurants and shops while still having that beautiful ocean front. Having a washing machine/dryer and dishwasher in unit was a huge plus too. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect view! Well stocked! Comfy beds! Convenient to everything! Greta communication with host! Will definitely book this condo again!

The Bal Kai is a great property for us. Ocean front units and ease of traveling to our favorite spots on the island. We have been staying at the Bali Kai for many years and plan to continue.

They need to hire a professional maintenance company not some young kid.
We had to vacuum, sweep deck, wash livingrm sliders so we could see out. Couldn’t use deck first 1-2 days as doors wouldn’t open and wrenched shoulder trying to open them, but rental company sent repair guy fast. AC doesn’t pull out moisture and bathroom was always damp along with some other minor plumbing problems and lightbulbs burned out, 1 being at entrance making entry difficult at night. The vents all over are covered in thick dust and have mold making me suffer the entire time!

Manager's Response

We stayed here in February and loved the condo! The views from the lanai were breathtaking! We sat on our Lanai for hours watching the waves, surfers, whales, and sunset. You can't go in the water easily here because of the lava rocks, but there is a small beach area to sit at and explore the tide pools.

The kitchen was very well equipped and the beach gear provided was super. Groceries, stores and restaurants are a short drive away.

We would definitely stay here again! Mahalo!

Our family loves this condo. It is clean, amazing view from Lanai, Location is away from the main town if you like to stay away from crowds. Love watching the sunset from our room. Parking in the structure. We definitely come back to this condo.
