Communication with our host Edgar was excellent. The unit was clean and well stocked although there was a broken lamp. We enjoyed use of the beach chairs and cooler for beach days. We slept the first night in the bedroom but it was loud from street noises and bright from outside lights so we spent the rest of our stay sleeping on the fold out couch in the living room and enjoyed the sound of the waves every night. They were sand blasting in the parking garage so there was a lot of noise and dust at times there, and the one way entrance was being used as an exit as well, making it a dangerous exit. The location was great and close to shopping and numerous great beaches to swim, surf and snorkel.

Ocean front at Kona Bali Kai

We had a wonderful stay at Kona Bali Kai overlooking the ocean. The property was perfect for us and I especially loved the Hawaiian artwork. I definitely recommend staying here if you plan to visit Kona and are looking for something ocean front.

Pros and Cons

We experienced a cleaning issue that resulted in us cancelling our stay after arriving. The on-island contact and owner were both very responsive and attempted to resolve the issue; the owner also provided a refund without contest. Based on the other positive reviews, and the communication, I'm willing to believe it was a one time problem rather than a pattern, so my review will focus on other elements.

You can't beat the view from the lanai! It's a great location for venturing with plenty of options nearby, or a good base for exploring the entire island. Everything in the unit was clean and worked. The property itself is showing its age and wear. Some reviews have mentioned the road noise, but that isn't a distraction if you're not trying to sleep in .... and there's too much to see and do on the island to spend time sleeping in. The host provided great instructions, details, and tips a few days before our arrival. The unit is stocked with a good assortment of beach gear for use by guests.

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.
