There were lots of things to love about this place. I would give the condo itself 5 stars for cleanliness, view, and proximity to the beach. The amenities were great; kitchen was well stocked and had sharp knives (I was pleasantly surprised); beach gear was plentiful. We had dreamy sunsets every evening and loved watching the surfers. We loved getting fresh coconuts from the store downstairs too! We checked in late at night, and the instructions provided to us were unclear as to where to park. That was a little confusing late at night, but we figured it out.I can't believe no one has mentioned the loud vehicles gunning their extremely loud motors outside the facility. I'm not talking about regular road noise. I'm talking about motors so loud that it jolts you out of your sleep in the middle of the night (especially if you're in the second bedroom). To be fair, maybe there's not much the owners can do except make sure the people in their lot are actual patrons of Kona Bali Kai. There seemed to be a lot of this in Kona. There seemed to be sketchy people hanging around the beach regularly after dark. There were some definite cons about this location, but I can't deny the beautiful, clean beach and access to Kona. I loved being right on the oceanfront. That was special. In spite of the significant cons I mentioned, we still managed to have our best vacation ever. Hawaii is pretty amazing.

This property site is perfect for Kona stay. We truly loved it. Clean, parking , water front view . The best art of the day to sit on patio and watch the waves and surfers . Has beach towels for you to use . We are so thankful for this wonderful opportunity to be here . Blessing

Beautiful unit, great views, loved all the amenities within (owner provided beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, plenty of dishware). Look forward to coming back!

Spectacular view marred by many trivial but distracting issues. 1 Small bugs, perhaps ants, all over kitchen sink and 2nd bathroom. 2. Cockroachkilled on the glide of the slider. (Both issues would probably best be handled by exterminator, and not the ant & roach spray left under kitchen sink. 3. No way discovered to turn on living room lamps. 4. All knives are extremely dull making food preparation difficult. 5. Light over entryway flickers on and off. 6. Broom well hidden in 2nd bedroom closet. Lots of room for it by refrigerator. 7. Timer on A/C is a joke. Property is presented as high class, yet managed like a tennament. The old building is showing its age and little love or pride in ownership.
