The condo needs some work. There are paint scrapes on a couple of walls, especially by the refrigerator, the vanity light in the common bathroom was very rusted and my brother said the mattress on the bed in the master needed replacing. Aside from being dated and needing some upkeep, it was clean and had everything we needed. The big plus is the view. Watching waves come in and surfers down the beach was good relaxing fun. Enough to make one forget about some of the imperfections inside.
The view was amazing but the property is in pretty rough shapeâŠneeds updated and pictures online do not depict the old peeling paint and rough interior of the property. Kitchen cabinets smell awful, which left the dishes smelling awfulâŠwe had to wash everything before using. Bathrooms had old peeling grout and towel fixtures are corroded/rusted.
Super cute Hawaiian style condo, I let my
Friends have the bigger room facing the Ocean, I took the smaller room. My room was very warm and stuffy but all in all the unit was cozy and the ocean front was amazing.
I loved the property and the view. Right on the beach overlooking the ocean. Also a a little ways from the main hustle of the town, but very convenient to all the amenities a town has to offer.
However, the property was past its time to update. It was dirty when we entered and the main bathroom tub didn't drain properly so you were standing in water as you showered. Also there wan't enough hot water to completely shower and wash your hair.at the same time. Could have been a great experience.
Excellent location to see the Big Island. Amazing views of the ocean from the large lanai where we were able to sit and have dinner and watch the sunset most nights. Highly recommend.
Overall we had a good stay. The location of this property is hard to beat. Beautiful grounds, right on the water and surfers right next door.
Property seems older and wearing out. Condo was clean, but probably hasn't been updated since it was built. Paint coming off walls, carpet (dirty) fraying away from strips, fixtures and cabinets from the 70s, etc. Could really use better kitchen utensils, etc as well.
Was nice having in condo laundry. Vacasa was AWESOME to work with when we had an issue. Very quick to respond.
As I said, we did enjoy our stay, just used to updated condos when we stay in Hawaii.
The unit was lovely and the view is incredible. The unit as with many at the Joba Bali Kai is dated. Units with carpet and drapes smell musty. The unit should be remodeled to remove items that hold the moisture and then smell over time.
Overall I was exceptionally pleased with our stay here. Check in was easy, the furnishings were good and service was good/easy. The view is almost unbeatable and we used the facility grill (cleaned daily) twice during our stay. Overall loved it and recommend it to any staying. As noted in other locations the listing is for 8 people which would be very tight - we had 4 adults and 3 kids and space was not an issue but 8 adults would be unfeasible in my opinion. essentially there is 1 king, 1 queen and a pull out - so 5-6 adults at best. Since we didn't have issues we loved staying there.
