Great location, stunning views

This property is exactly as advertised. The location is close to town, but still quiet, and the view from the lanai is spectacular. We would absolutely stay here again!

The condo was quiet and peaceful. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked and views were amazing! We appreciated the beach gear that was on the lanai. We enjoyed the sunsets from the beach and our lanai. The hosts were very easy to get in touch with and quick to respond.

Best location and view

The home was so comfortable and they had everything we needed like a parasol buggy boards, sand toys, we felt right at home my husband played his music a bit louder than I would appreciate and the neighbors would make anyone proud by not making a big deal, I’m impressed and will be hopefully staying here in the near future

Loved this rental. The patio overlooked the ocean. Beach is just steps away. Enjoyed watching turtles swim in coves. Rental was very nice, up to date amenities. Had to reach out to the owner about something. Called back within 5 min and was very helpful. Would definitely stay at the rental if I ever make my way back here.

Dream trip to Kona!

We stayed here for the Ironman World Championship, and it couldn’t have been any better! It was the perfect location and setting, any questions I had were answered immediately, and I was able to listen to the waves and relax. I would highly recommend this location for the Hawaiian vacation you dream of.

Big Island Paradise

Could not have asked for a better location and the setting was beautiful. Kitchen was well stocked and equiped. Place was very quiet at night and we were lucky enough to be there during a full moon. Spent lots of hours on the lanai watching the sunsets and moon setting. Probably would rank within the top 5 of my vacations.

Fabulous views of the ocean!

We had a really wonderful time, the views of the ocean, beautiful sounds of the waves 24/7 and watching sunset from the patio was just an awesome experience. Amenities were great, A/C was a relief on one of the hotter days. Lots of beach toys, chairs, umbrella etc. was great for beach visits. Safeway and restaurants were are 10 mins. Overall a great vacation, we will book again!

Lovely!

This unit was everything it was supposed to be. It was the most completely furnished place we have ever stayed at. Everything we needed was there. There was an issue with the grill, but it was addressed and handled quickly. The linens were wonderful, the dishwasher top quality and quiet, as were the wonderful washer and dryer. This one was a great pick! Very well maintained property!

Great place to stay with family!

My family and I enjoyed our stay here. Location is central to Kona and there was ample parking. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. It was quiet at night and we had no trouble falling asleep. The AC was on a 4-hr timer, which is no big deal. We only used the AC to cool the condo down before going to sleep. Furniture was outdated, but it adds to the island feel. The couch wasn’t very comfortable to sit on but we didn’t spend much time inside. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend!

Perfect in every way!

Wow, wow, wow, we miss it already! The lanai was enormous and had two separate sliding doors to the living room and master bedroom. We fell asleep to the waves each night with the screen door and had every breakfast and dinner out on the lanai with the stunning sea and sunset views. We also saw sea turtles from the lanai and used this as the perfect home base for each separate day trip. The two bed/two bath setup with in suite laundry and full, well-stocked kitchen made for the perfect setting with the perfect view in the perfect location! We certainly hope to be back one day!

We had a great time, AMAZING view

This condo was perfect - there's an amazing view just outside the lanai, overlooking the surf. The sound of the surf was very soothing.My only slight criticism is that the air conditioner isn't powerful enough for the space. The main living room was cooled down enough but it never made it to the bedrooms. But that's only a slight issue. The rest of the place was great.

Wonderful stay at KBK 219

We love Kona Bali Kai (KBK) and try to come every couple years. Sharon & Lynn have 2 units at KBK and both are in great shape. We were able to see whales and a lot of turtles from the Lanai. Lynn provides a detailed welcome letter and we decided to check out the beaches that were in the welcome letter. They all turned out to be some of the best hidden gems we have ever found in Kona. Lynn also has a very fast internet connection in the unit and if you use Netflix they have a Blue-Ray player with the Netflix app enabled on it. It was definitely tough to leave KBK and come back to Bay Area traffic. We will definitely be back.

Kona Bali Kai #219

The highlight of the unit is how it looks out onto the Pacific. As you walk in, you immediately see the ocean through the sliding doors at the opposite end. The lanai is 30 feet from the shoreline, overlooking a tidal pool. We stayed at Kona Bali Kai for almost three weeks and never got tired of the whales, the waves and the sunsets. The unit itself is clean and well appointed. The kitchen is well equipped. The furniture was comfortable, but a bit dated. It could use some modernizing. The unit manager, Tim, was responsive and helpful when we needed some extra supplies.

Disappointing

The location & price are amazing. Unfortunately, the apartment is poorly furnished. All the furniture is very uncomfortable. Sofa & chair in livingroom are painful to sit on. Outdoor sofa & chairs: same story. Beds are very cheap/poor quality. Not even a box spring under the master bed. It's more like a cot. I could feel the springs poking me all night. Sheets were stained, floor was so dirty our feet were black within a few hours of checking in. Noisy neighbors on all sides. I guess you get what you pay for. Sadly, we will not be back.

Perfect

This condo was everything my wife and I could have asked for. Condo was very clean, well maintained, and well decorated. The view is to die for, kitchen is well equipped, location is close enough to enjoy everything Kona has to offer yet far enough out to escape the noise. We enjoyed the large, private, lanai, you can actually walk around tables and chairs. We enjoyed watching the surfers at Banyans right from the lanai, which is one of the top places in Hawaii for surfing. My wife loves her turtles and there were several everyday right out front in the tide pools. The grounds at Bali Kai are very nice and well maintained and seems secure. Lynn and Sharon are wonderful owners and a joy to meet. This was our first visit to the Big Island after visiting the other 5 major islands of Hawaii, I guess we saved the best for last. We will definitely visit the Big Island again, 8 days was just not enough. We will plan our next trip around availability of Lynn and Sharon's condo, we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Lynn and Sharon for sharing your wonderful condo with us, I hope to see and talk to you soon on our next trip to Hawaii.

Fantastic View

The view and distance to the ocean can’t be beat! Watch surfers in the morning, sea turtles in the tide pool in the afternoon and then beautiful sunsets. Probably one of the best stocked kitchens of any VRBO we have stayed at in terms of cooking and dining utensils, plates, etc. The only complaint is that the small HVAC unit is essentially useless, but as long as the trade winds are blowing should not be a major issue. The late afternoon/early evening on one of our four days was a little uncomfortable. Having Da Poke Shack in the complex and steps away is a HUGE plus if you like poke. Pricy, but the best I ever have eaten.

Property was as advertised. Stunning location, 40 ft from the ocean and facing west for awesome sunsets. Note there is no swimming at this location but there is a great public beach just south of the complex. Lanai is large and perfect for sunsets. Furniture in the unit is old and should be replaced. Both beds are beyond worn, one too soft the other hard as a rock. AC works wells but front bedroom doesn't cool enough as the AC is a window unit installed in the family room. Sofa is worn with no support and very uncomfortable. If the beds and sofa are replaced the place would be perfection.

Condo with nice water view but otherwise nothing special

The condo is really nothing to write home about in a complex built probably in the 1970s. There are beautiful views of the ocean and the condo is priced reasonably. Otherwise, it is quite ordinary. The second bedroom in the back is too small with a bed that is too small and the feeling that you are in a cave. The condo management downstairs was terribly rude to my daughter, basically screaming at her incomprehensibly for no reason, bringing her to tears. There's absolutely no justification for such rudeness. The area is a bit too congested for my preference but you are in the middle of all the action. The ocean is there but access is difficult due to rocks and reef. Not one to remember.
