Fantastic views with a nice lava cove plus some sandy beach. The best of both with seeing turtles and tropical fish. Great view of the sunset and moonset. The best part is the view from the living room and master bed is of the ocean! Awesome!

This condo was the real deal. The view was amazing and gave you a sense of solitude while still being very close to several towns. Everything was just as pictured and advertised. The included parking was convenient and easily accessible. There is a very nice binder of information on many restaurants, bars and activities in the room. The hosts were responsive and kind. 5 stars.

The condo is in a great location. Close to the town of Kailua-Kona. The condo is right on the ocean. You look out from the balcony and the ocean right below. The condo looks out to the west so you get beautiful sunsets from the balcony. The condo is quite spacious with two bedrooms and two baths. Nice living, dining and kitchen area. Kitchen has everything you need for cooking. The condo is on the 4th floor. There is an elevator but it’s a good walk to the unit from the elevator. If you have mobility issues it could be too far of a walk. There is ample covered parking which was great. Aspects of the condo interior is well worn (couch, furniture) There was a problem with ants but I think the exterminators were due right after we left. I would stay there again.

Amazing view in a great location!

We loved our stay here!! The whole place is perfect but the balcony views were a 10/10. We had our breakfast out there, enjoyed the beautiful sunsets, and fish/turtle watching. The main room was also another favorite because we slept with the balcony glass door open and we were able to hear the crashing waves which was so nice to sleep to. Overall we had an amazing time :)

We were very pleased with this unit! Clean, well kept, comfortable and well located. The 4th floor balcony and west-facing wall of windows allowed spectacular viewing of the most amazing sunsets! Bring a sleep mask, though, because the curtains are sheer. The A/C unit in the main living area worked very well to cool the master bedroom/bath, living, dining and kitchen areas. We didn't need the front bedroom, but took note that it was not cooled as well and would require fans to be comfortable. Wear your polarized sunglasses and you will be entertained by the tropical fish swimming in the water below! We would without hesitation stay in this unit again.

This was the best place we stayed at while visiting 2 islands of Hawaii. The location was exceptional. The view was breathtaking. The condo is fully updated. It has all the amenities and more. It was outstanding and I wished I could have owned a place just like it. Did I mention the views were breathtaking?!

We stayed toward the end of a 3-islands-in-12-days visit to Hawaii. The condo was just what we needed to wind down from almost two weeks of activities, including 8 miles of walking in Volcanoes National Park the day before. Comfortable beds, gorgeous views from the lanai, the sounds of the waves at night—heaven. And Carolyn was wonderful to work with. She was responsive and clear in her communications. This will definitely be at the top of our list to stay whenever we visit the Big Island!

This was a beautiful, updated condo right on the water. Lovely, quiet complex. Loved the spacious lanai overlooking the water. Enjoyed falling asleep hearing the waves crash on the rock. The other bedroom facing the road is a little noisy so be prepared if road noise bothers you. Beds were very comfortable. The condo had everything we needed. It was the perfect location to enjoy the Kona area. We would love to return!

Great place, great view, easy access to everything. Would stay again!

Nothing really wrong just as we said in the title not the place for us and we were a little disappointed. The owner may wish to update some of the photos on the listing as there are few cosmetic changes, especially on the Lanai. We didn't like the air con pumping out on the lanai as it created lots of heat, maybe there could be a screen. The complex is looking a bit tired and many of the communal areas are dirty. We didnt realise there would be no food offerings at night close by and had to drive or get an uber to get to the main town that was the biggest downside for us, location. Maybe the owner could improve the directions for how to find the parking as the entrance is very easy to miss (we speak from experience!) Whilst the property was clean, the washing machine in particular was very smelly and we had to run it on a hot wash and clean all the door sills to remove stagnate water, this maybe was down to previous guests and their use but could/should be checked by housekeeping, especially with a cleaning fee charged. We struggled with the fans which seemed to work erratically, again maybe this was us but there were no clear instructions to help us out. Sadly we would not stay again but Im sure for the area its a good option if you don't want to blow the bank but for us we felt it was quite expensive for what we got, parts are quite tired although you can see the owner has tried. Not intending to offend just wanted to be honest and this is our personal opinion

Perfectly located to watch sea turtles in the rocks! Plus the sunsets from the lanai... awe! The unit was comfortable and had a well stocked kitchen.

This is a wonderful condo with an amazing ocean view. The condo is very clean and comfortable and nicely decorated. Kitchen is very well stocked, including some cooking basics such as olive oil and spices. I feel that the hosts really thought through what one might need in a vacation rental and appreciated things like scissors, tissues, and laundry detergent, as well as beach supplies. It is a very easy drive to downtown shops and restaurants but it was great to come back to the quiet of the complex. But the best part of this condo has to be the ocean view. There is nothing between you and the ocean. Beautiful sunsets, and sea turtles feeding daily which we watched from the lanai. If we make it back to the Big Island, we will definitely try to rent this condo again.

Very nice accommodations, location, and views. Property manager was friendly, and helpful with suggestions of things to do in the area. Would stay there again.

The owner was extremely helpful with an issue we had, and she replied to us within minutes. Very comfortable condo and an amazing view.

Location was perfect - close enough to town but not busy - view was awesome - saw sea turtles from the lanai!! - just as advertised

Really nice, comfortable place to stay. Very clean. The balcony view is amazing & listening to the ocean is so relaxing. Carolyn was very responsive when we couldn’t initially get into the unit (our fault. We didn’t read the directions thoroughly). The only drawbacks we encountered are the lack of soap for the showers, no salt & pepper & the smaller bedroom let in too much light at night. We would suggest curtains instead of wicker shades. Overall wonderful place. Easy parking. Carts to bring your belongings to the unit were really helpful. Thank you, Carolyn.

Would book again. Clean and attractive unit with a fantastic location. Comfortable bed and pillows. Slept well listening to the waves. Showerhead converts to hand held which is always a plus. Good communication with host.

We really enjoyed being able to watch the oceans and sunsets. Bed was very comfortable.

The view was delightful. Home was very accomodating.

The apartment is simply beautiful, spacious and so perfect. Marvelous view of the ocean, spectacular sunset.

I will say up front, we were in the islands 3 weeks and stayed at 3 different properties on 3 different islands and the one, main complaint associated with all three (we are mainlanders) is that the instructions for operating the audio/visual equipment are vague at best, and assume that all systems operate in a similar fashion. I can tell you, they do not! So better instructions, in the future, please! Also, Carol, since there was a note on the sliding glass door, I believe it would be smart of you to provide some sort of locking deterrent on the sliding glass door in the main bedroom. One other thing I have discovered about all VRBOs we have been to is they do not seem to provide instructions about recycling policies, and Ha This property was everything as advertised. I was surprised at all the hustle an bustle in this resort area - did not know it was as densely populated as it is, but it was not noisy like you would expect. We really delighted in the sea turtles visible just off the lanai and the property was convenient to everything you might need. When we go on vacations, we always do a virtual recon on (1) the closest Starbucks; (2) the closest Walmart; (3) the closest Total Wine (or liquor store); and (4) the closest Costco (which does sell wine and liquor and beer on the islands). Everything was easily accessible. Just a couple of tidbits to be aware of - the building and common areas struck me as tired, old and well used (not so the unit). Parking was easy, but don't go much bigger than a mid-size car. After a long travel day, we were ready to celebrate our arrival in the unit only to find 3 empty ice trays in the freezer so add a bag of ice to your grocery list! This is not a location where you can sun and swim all day in the ocean and the pictures off the lanai are true to that depiction. Public beaches are nearby and there is plenty of equipment provided (including soft coolers) to pack up and take with you for a day at the beach.

Great condo and complex. Right on the ocean. Loved hearing the waves all night and waking up to coffee on the lanai watching surfers. First day even saw turtles by the rocks. Easy drive to the shops and restaurants. Very relaxed vibe

Can’t thank owner enough for excellent help and communication!

This was a wonderful short stay. We saw whales and turtles. The fourth floor view was fantastic! Luckily we did find the elevator in the middle of the complex before hauling our luggage up four flights of stairs. We really enjoyed our morning coffee watching the sunrise, and 5pm Happy Hour watching the beautiful sunset!

We recently stayed at Kona Bali Kai for two weeks. It is an excellent place to stay in Kona: sizable and comfortable bedrooms, a great location, and a great view from the lanai for breakfast and sunsets. A small issue with the air conditioner was fixed immediately upon letting the owner know. Both my daughter and I had a great time staying here and would recommend it highly for a stay in the Kailua-Kona area.

Everything about this property was perfect. EXACTLY as the pictures show. We had a small issue with the a/c system, reported it and it was INSTANTLY resolved. Management went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. And it was.

Wonderful condo, well-equipped kitchen, and the best view of the sunset. Condo is very clean and updated. Highly recommend.

This place offers great views, quiet setting, and is close to all that Kona has to offer! Very clean and comfortable accommodations, perfect stay.

We loved the condo right on the beach, listening to the crashing waves. Beds were comfy and we had everything we needed. My only complaint would be that the smaller bedroom was on the street side so you can hear traffic noise (usually died done after 10 pm except on weekends). Also, since it's the farthest from the A/C it got a little warm, though the ceiling fan helped. I would stay here again.

We truly enjoyed the 4 days we spent at Holualoa. The view from the lanai was stunning and we spent each morning and evening enjoying the views. The unit was well stocked, the bed was very comfortable and we would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a nice comfortable home with exceptional views. Thank you so much for sharing your place with us, it is truly appreciated.

Carolyn was a wonderful host paying attention to detail with comfortable bedding, beach accessories and communication. Will definitely stay here again.
