Perfect location. Great onsite Vacasa support for those little things (bugs). Condo needs updating, but it fit our needs. We so enjoyed the teak furniture on the lanai, the beautiful views and ocean sounds.
You can't help but feel hawaii as you feel, hear and see the sea steps from the lanai. Start and end your day watching the waves, surfers and people enjoying the culture. Enjoy! I look forward to returning.
My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay in Kona for our Honeymoon. The Iron man competition was going on at the exact time we were there, therefore we had some trouble getting around.
Overall great stay!!
Loved the comfy chairs on the lanai. Breakfast out there was a great way to start the day. The ocean view was the best. Since it was warm we slept with the doors open and the sound of the waves made for great nights sleep.
We have stayed at Kona Bali Kai on several occasions and will return. The complex is showing its age but is well kept up. The location is hard to beat and the ocean is at your doorstep, literally! Whales, dolphins, turtles and surfers makes the time on your lanai an experience in itself!
We spent more time on the lanai than anywhere else. The ocean breezes put us in chill mode.This home is well equipped for a relaxing comfy vacation.
Easy to enter the ocean for a swim or catch waves.
Peaceful place to be.
We were transported by this beach resort. The crashing waves on the rocky beaches were a perfect soundscape for our winter Hawaiian retreat. Many afternoons were spent lounging on the lanai watching the surfers paddling out to sea. The open space was perfect for enjoying the fresh air and the tropical climate. The carpet runners need to be replaced due to their worn condition. However you can't beat the location! We loved our stay here and hope to return.
We have stayed at the Kona Bali Kai building many times over the last 15 years. Unit 207 did not disappoint. Clean unit with some island charm. Perfect views of the ocean from the Lanai and communication with Vacasa was amazing! No AC but don't let that deter you.... we've stayed in units with and without and quite honestly, the tradewinds kept us cool nicely.
Owners trying best to keep up. Few things not working. Do note the property does not have AC, inside was very humid. Otherwise great place, with great view and very comfortable
Property is old, owners trying best to upkeep but few things not working. Do note there is no AC and humidity in the apartment was high. Check in/out times very inconsiderate. Overall stay was ok
The condo was unsecure. We had to carry our valuables with us when ever we left the room. The patio doors were installed backwards so there was no way to lock the patio doors.

Not as pictured
The view is wonderful. Bathrooms are updated however the rest of the unit is not âlovelyâ. Pictures are staged and airbrushed. Kitchen drawers were broken and falling out. Back doors canât be locked. When we contacted the management company, on numerous occasions, they gave us the run around. Disappointing as the fees for this property are high
We recently stayed here. Nice location right on the ocean. Loved the lanai for sunsets and relaxing. A few issues: Master bathroom door has issues and needs to be fixed - doesn't shut correctly. Also the fan and light on the lanai didn't work or we couldn't figure out how to turn them on. No internet during our whole stay. They sent us a temporary network which also didn't work. No help from the property manager. That was frustrating. Also the kitchen could be updated.
Decent, but no air conditioning! Arriving hot and tired at the end of a long day to discover that the unit had no A/C was a big disappointment. Itâs on us, because that information is available in the listing, but in a tropical location it wasnât even something we thought to check for. Even if the temperature gets a bit lower at night and you have every fan going, itâs still humid and uncomfortable for sleeping. Our other problem was no Wifi. We were texted the wrong password (the right one was on paperwork in the unit), and were also texted that the wifi was out and it was an âisland-wideâ issue . . . but there was wifi in the lobby, so clearly not. Other than that, the unit was a mix of more updated (e.g. bathrooms) and in need of updating (e.g. kitchen). Overall it was comfortable, and the lanai was great and had spectacular views. (We stayed 3 nights in early May 2023.)

Nice place to stay, but outdated and poor management company
I have rented from many vrbos and it's typically a very good experience. This condo has a property management company that we were underimpressed with.
They send out way too many auto emails with bits and pieces of info. They don't use the vrbo messaging often, so it's harder to keep track of.
They let us know a week ago that the in condo laundry was out. I asked for a partial refund for the inconvenience and got a reply that they were cancelling my stay as i requested but couldnt refund the $920 because it was less than a month out. After several back and forth emails, they reinstated my stay, but said they couldnt give me any money back because the listing doesnt mention the laundry. The guestbook shows another couple had the same issue recently and they changed the listing during those peoples stay.
The shower doesnt drain well..fills up within a few minutes.
Curtains stick and are hard to open. Much of the furniture is not what the pictures show.
It's like visiting grandma's house.
Bed is comfy.
The place was very clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Beautiful breathtaking views!!!

Do not worry about AC! GREAT PLACE!
We were concerned about not having air conditioning. We're the kind of people who turn down our AC to 65° at night, but all you have to do is open the sliding glass doors (to the AMAZING ocean view) and the front door and let the ocean breeze flow. This place was absolutely perfect. Clean. Beautiful view. Famous stuff break right outside where you can watch surfers. Convenient location.
Perfect place beachfront with everything you need!
Everything we needed. Full kitchen, washer, dryer. Comfortable bed. Listening to the surf at night is the best! Our favorite thing was sitting on the lanai (for meals and happy hour) and watching the surf and seeing nearby Lymanâs. When the surf is breaking, you have hours of entertainment watching the local surfers. Perfect spot for gorgeous sunsets.

Greatest value on the Big Island.
This super clean and well appointed condo has everything you need for a week or two in Kona. Simple decor, plenty of cooking supplies, two nice bathrooms, and a view that will live on in your nest memories forever. We slept with the sliding doors open for 10 nights- waves just steps from the furnishes comfortable balcony, local surfers to watch day and night. Front row to the most spectacular sunsets- just wonderful. I highly recommend this condo for any couple looking to enjoy Hawiiiâs Big Island like a local.
The original posted price was reasonable for the accommodations. We expected to pay for the unit, cleaning fee and taxes. However, when all the additional hidden fees were added on it wasnât as good a value as other similar units
Took staycation here and loved it. Great place, even better view out back. Home feel to it. If not for an incident not specifying, this room is for sure 5 stars, itâs perfect for a couple or a small family.
