Fabulous ocean view, spacious unit.

The unit is spacious...large, very comfy living area with a dining nook for two, opening up onto a lanai with a spectacular ocean view. Adjacent decently equipped kitchen with a large fridge, oven, dishwasher and microwave. Stackable wasjet/dryer was great. The large comfy bedroom is on the streetside which is noisy by day, but no real problem at night. Bathroom/shower/tub is not updated, but adequate. Outstanding communication with manager including his huge email file with useful tips. The unit is a bit old, not updated, but a great value. We enjoyed it.

Oceanfront condo

The view from the condo lanai was amazing. The condo had everything we needed: beach chairs, beach towels and snorkeling gear. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The bedroom is on the street side of the building with the windows open this makes it a bit noisy for sleeping. If you like to walk or run, the location is great but stores are a little far if youjust want to grab a cup of coffee.The owner was very attentive and easy to contact. I would recommend this condo.contact.

A Great Condo!

We loved our stay here. The views can’t be beat. The furniture was comfortable - I really slept well! The kitchen was well equipped with every thing we needed. Lots of spices there for our use too. There is plenty of snorkel equipment, beach towels, etc. We had a little trouble getting the tv going and were completely impressed with the local contact, she was quick and efficient and such a nice person - a real gem. We can recommend highly!

Great views and locale

We have stayed at various KBK properties for the past 20 years. This unit has wonderful views and the host is very responsive as is his local contact. Unit is a bit dated though clean and appointed with everything one needs for a great stay. Our only wish, especially for the price point, is that the unit had a/c for the 3:30 to 5:30pm hot part of the day or additional shades to keep the unit cooler when there are no breezes during those warm hours.

Ocean front at Kona Bali Kai

Nice But Too Much Road Noise at Night

The condo was nice and in good condition. Safe and pleasant with lanai overlooking the ocean. Lovely view. But the bedroom is on a busy road. At night, even with the ceiling fan and floor fan going, the car-truck-motorcycle noise is very loud until about 2am.The ocean waves don't reach the bedroom even with the sliding door open. We ended up sleeping part of each night in the living room on couch pillows and folded blankets with waves in the background. That was better, but not ideal.

Stay with a VIEW!!

This was the first time my husband and I have ever been to Hawaii and this place was an unforgettable spot!! The sunsets from the balcony will be cherished memories that will last a lifetime! The entire building is a little dated, but that didn't matter to us. The only thing we saw that could maybe be different is having a fully stock kitchenware set. Some of the knives were really dull, or falling apart. We loved the location since it was so close to downtown, but far enough away it wasn't too busy. The last half of our trip was spent in Keaau and we could tell that things weren't as "loved" here. With that being said, we understand that Edgar doesn't live on the island so the small details get over looked. There is no AC and even coming from a desert climate it was still very hot at night. Luckily we always bring a portable fan so that helped to move the air that the two provided from the condo didn't get. Overall we would definitely stay here again!

First time in Hawaii

Very nice condo facing the ocean, ten feet from the water. An older property and well maintained. No air conditioning and it is not needed with the ocean breeze. Two beaches close by. Sand there is course than other beaches on Kona. Close to shops and other activities. The condo is quite, has a pool and an elevator.

Excellent Property for Couples

The property was very clean, in a good location close to Kona-Kailua, and had an amazing view. A very comfortable overall stay for 9 days. We would definitely recommend this property again for anyone who's looking for several nights in Kona, but doesn't want to pay the exorbitant cost for a resort. The immediate area is generally quiet and located close to several public beaches. There are other really nice beaches within easy driving distance. We had a great time here and would definitely recommend again. We had the opportunity to watch two sea turtles up close one day as they frolicked in the waters just in front of the building. The owner was great too - very responsive, and kind to let us have late check-out for a night flight. Definitely a great place to stay for two people looking for an adventure on big island.

View that is sad to leave!

This view is priceless. The pictures do not do the apartment justice. The vaulted ceiling make it feel 10x times bigger as well as very up to date with style. Cutest place and could not beat the view for anything. Parking spot is really close to stairway directly to room. Pool was great and having an ocean view from it was amazing. Hosts were so quick to respond and help with absolutely anything. Wish we had more nights at this place will be returning!

About the host

Hosted by Edgar Mendez-Chacon

Host profile image
In March 2014 we vacationed on the Big Island for the first time and fell in love with the island. We purchased a townhouse that year (www.vrbo.com/578036) and love coming back regularly to Kona. In May 2017 we purchased this condo and love the view from the lanai along with the vibe inside the condo. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The view from the lanai is spectacular and you can just sit and lounge there all day watching the turtles, fish, whales and the waves rolling in. It has a great island feel with the decor inside the condo along with nice artistic touches of painted murals on the wall.

What makes this property unique

Have your morning coffee and breakfast on the lanai and watch the honu (sea turtles) feeding in the water down below.
