Fabulous ocean views and very convenient location, close to Kona.
5.0 / 5.0
Condo had everything we needed. Was just as described in listing. Views were the best part. The pool and spa on site were very nice and looked to have been recently updated. Only thing that would make it better was if it had AC. But there was plenty of fans so we got along fine.

We wanted someplace very nice to celebrate a once in a lifetime family get together and birthdays. We went online looking for a special place where we could all celebrate and be together and that was on the ocean. It was even more beautiful then it was advertised. Everything was clean, neat, well taken care and was in a very nice area with an ocean view. It was everything that it was advertised and more. We had four other condos in the next unit. We had 16 family members in all and it was a wonderful time together and full of special memories for all of us.

Just returned from a great week in Hawaii! The condo was clean and well stocked. We loved sitting out on the balcony and enjoying the fabulous ocean view! Plenty of fans provided which was very much appreciated. It took us a couple days to adjust to the humidity, but the fans along with the ocean breeze helped us to stay cool. Thanks for sharing your place with us, we had a great time!

The condo was amazing. Very clean and had all the supplies needed for the week. The view was oh-so-pretty. The location was great not in a busy part of town but not far away either. I would Indeed stay here again.

This listing is wonderful! Amazing views, nice trade winds to cool the condo, all beach necessities available including a cooler and an umbrella, as well as basic utensils in the kitchen. Gas grill on site. We will definitely be staying here next time in Kona. Just a note for future renters: there is no A.C., but there were fans everywhere and the trade winds coming off the ocean thru the condo kept us pretty comfortable.

My families stay at Ed and Karen’s condo in Kona, Hawaii was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with stunning ocean views and the soothing sounds of the waves crashing against the shore.
The condo itself was beautifully furnished and immaculately clean, providing all the comforts of home and then some. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare delicious meals with ease. The living area was spacious and comfortable, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the island.
One of the highlights of the condo was the lanai, where I spent many peaceful mornings sipping coffee and watching the sunrise over the water. It was also the ideal spot for enjoying evening cocktails as the sun dipped below the horizon.
The location couldn’t have been better – just a short drive from downtown Kona and conveniently close to some of the island’s best beaches and attractions.
But what truly made this stay memorable was the hospitality of Ed and Karen. They were gracious hosts, providing helpful tips on local activities and ensuring that our stay was nothing short of perfect.
I would highly recommend Ed and Karen’s condo to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat in Kona. I can’t wait to return!
Feel free to adjust or add any details you think would make the review more accurate or appealing!

Great location and size for our stay in Kona. Just as described. Beach chairs, boards, towels, umbrellas all there for your use.

Enjoyed our stay at this accommodation; good location away from crowds but close enough to good beaches and attractions, comfortable place with everything we needed for the stay, views were outstanding from lanai (especially sunsets). The condo complex is a little run down and could use a face lift, painting, etc.

The equipment ad a step up for family choices for no cost. The location was perfect. It was not loud or rowdy. It was very clean. I slept well on the beds. All amenities made it complete

We stayed for five nights and had a great time. The view off the balcony is absolutely amazing. Every night we had a beautiful sunset. The condo is very homey and welcoming. We felt right at home. If we return to Kona we will definitely want to stay here again.

Beautiful ocean views. Was able to see whales occasionally from the lanai. Seen countless marine life including turtles in tidal pools in front of the condo building. Nicely equipped condo including the kitchen. Managers were great to deal with. Would stay again.

We had an absolutely great stay at this condo. It's hard to imagine how it could have been better - from the well-stocked kitchen, available beach equipment, comfy bed, expansive lanai, glorious views... Just fantastic. Highly recommend this condo. Looking forward to returning as soon as we can.

We loved being right on the water, from waking up and watching surfers to watching the sun set from the balcony, this had everything we were looking for. And inside the unit was well appointed, from kitchen supplies to beach chairs and everything in between we didn’t once say “ this place needs” or “they could use”… Ed and Karen thought of everything. The only minor hiccup was figuring out the parking garage on arrival, but they were very responsive to our questions. So glad we chose to stay here.

Amazing condo facing the ocean. Super well stocked,and classy! Great location. Bring ear plugs as there is ocean and road noise. A bonus, there is an elevator and a luggage cart! We will stay here again

The view from the balcony is amazing. The sunrise and sunset are picture perfect and watching the young people surfing is so much fun.
It’s a great location to enjoy everything Kona has to offer and more.

The condo is in a great location in Kona for an easy drive south and to the shops. The lanai is awesome! It's a great place to sit with coffee in the morning to watch the surfers and whales, and with win to watch the sunset. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable; the kitchen is well stocked. Karen and Ed were fantastic, including allowing us to stay extra time to ride out a storm. We would stay again! Thanks for everything!

Great condo; we essentially lived on the lanai; the pics are true. 3 sets of grills so we never needed to wait. Had everything we needed and was stocked with a few extras too. We had a great time.

We loved this condo and had a wonderful week on the big island. Communication, cleanliness, well stocked- 5 stars all around.

Waves crashing just below our veranda, gorgeous sunsets, made this an unforgettable ocean stay. We loved the traditional Hawaiian decor, plantation fans and heavy drapes to help unit stay cooler during day while out exploring or golfing. Extremely well-stocked with everything needed and owner easy to reach with questions. A few things not working (like garbage disposal during our stay), but unbelievably perfect spot just high enough for complete privacy, nice covered parking area, comfortable bed with sound of waves and views of ocean, large veranda with eating table and chaise lounges, lots of great books for reading, made our 33rd anniversary trip fabulous. We thank the owners for sharing their unique property and hope to return next year.

We love this condo. The view takes your breath away. The ocean is right there! We loved watching the sunset from our lanai. In the morning the sky is pink over the ocean. Watching the surfers 🏄 was a nice pastime. The condo has everything you need. They even have boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels etc. We liked their incidentals closet where they have extra sunscreen and snorkeling supplies. The beds are comfortable, especially in the master bedroom. The second bedroom is smaller and located next to the walkway. The downside of the second bedroom is the trash truck! We were there a week and it came 3 times, at 6:30 am! The master bedroom is off the lanai. The ocean waves are loud, which I loved. Sliding doors separate the master bedroom from the living room.
Wonderful condo!!

Beautiful location! Cleaning of condo was way below standard.Sheets were stained with blood,hair in sink etc.

In general we enjoyed staying here because the decor was comfortably Hawaiian. The location was very central being minutes from market day and good beaches, and the small beach outside condos and the Poke Shack being onsite. Specifically though in spite of owners being very helpful at the beginning they need to do personal maintenance inspection. One night the bathroom light fixture toppled over onto mirror, the sliding patio screen door did not slide well and often came off tracks, there were spiders and webs behind TV and in an upper cupboard, the bathrooms had off smell, the beach umbrella was broken and cooler storage pockets on beach chair backs were rusted shut. Also as a BnB owner myself I would never call my guest “ridiculous” for asking for more toilet paper a few times considering the cost relative to condo cost besides being rude…. Come with earplugs because the beautiful ocean view is a continual roar and street side room is traffic roar in mornings which having extra fan in room helped white noise a bit.

2 couples from various generations on our honeymoons. We originally booked when we were all just friends. The two full bedrooms and two full baths work, adequate for spacing and privacy. The lanai was an excellent addition where we enjoyed peaceful mornings. We were so close to the water. We were able to clearly see a multitude of fish and turtles every day. The kitchen was more than adequately stocked. Easy access to the beach. As described with additional items there such as coolers, sun umbrellas and beach chairs.

This place was amazing! Very accommodating host. We had a resident sea turtle that greeted us right outside our balcony in the water every morning. The sound of the ocean at night was peaceful. My kids and I absolutely loved it here and we will be back for sure!

Family of 4. We loved everything about this condo!!! Very clean, well kept and it has everything we needed. The beach is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. It has tide pools perfect for our young kids. We enjoyed watching the surfers and the beautiful sunset every night from the Lanai. Having all the windows/sliding doors open for fresh ocean breeze when we're home, we sleep and wake up to the sound of the ocean every day/night. Highly recommend this condo and definitely will rebook the same unit! Thank you for opening the Condo for us to make beautiful and unforgettable memories!!

We enjoyed our stay at Kona Bali Kai and highly recommend this place.
The view from the balcony is incredible. We enjoyed the mornings and evenings watching the waves, the surfers and the turtles. The table and the lounge chairs on the blacony got a lot of use by us.
The owners were very quick at responding.
The place is well stocked with everything you need. We really appreciated that it had a washer and dryer.
We also loved that our favorite Poke place was in the building.
The location was perfect for us as we did some exploring north and south of Kailua-Kona with our rental car.

The condo was perfect for vacationing with my husband, brother and sister in law!! Everything you could need is there to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The view from the lanai was incredible! Saw dolphins, turtles and fish!! Short drive to town and overall just a great location. Honestly can’t recommend enough! I will definitely be back when I come back to this beautiful island.

Amazing location - perfect for a vacation getaway. Loved looking at the scenic views right from the bedroom. Place was clean and easily accessible.

What a gorgeous location. It was made our reunion in Kona even more special. I highly recommend this place.
The 2nd bedroom is not great, it gets the morning sun, is hot and noisy, but if you can stay only in the main bedroom you would think you have landed in heaven.
Easy access to Kona Trolley.

Nice location to be in Hawaii wth a beautiful ocean view, but without the crazy crowds. The condo is beautifully furnished, comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen and beach supplies, and very entertaining to watch surfers from the balcony! We depended on uber to get around, very easy, rode the free trolley too, but wish we had rented a car for really short and long trips.

Parking was somewhat confusing at first but we worked it out. Great little condo right on the ocean.
