My family and I enjoyed our stay here. Location is central to Kona and there was ample parking. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. It was quiet at night and we had no trouble falling asleep. The AC was on a 4-hr timer, which is no big deal. We only used the AC to cool the condo down before going to sleep. Furniture was outdated, but it adds to the island feel. The couch wasn’t very comfortable to sit on but we didn’t spend much time inside. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend! ##### Janet P.

As you walk in, you immediately see the ocean through the sliding doors at the opposite end. The lanai is 30 feet from the shoreline, overlooking a tidal pool. We stayed at Kona Bali Kai for almost three weeks and never got tired of the whales, the waves and the sunsets. The unit itself is clean and well appointed. The kitchen is well equipped. The furniture was comfortable, but a bit dated. It could use some modernizing. The unit manager, Tim, was responsive and helpful when we needed some extra supplies. ##### Eric G.

Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rick G. 12 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect in every way! Wow, wow, wow, we miss it already! The lanai was enormous and had two separate sliding doors to the living room and master bedroom. We fell asleep to the waves each night with the screen door and had every breakfast and dinner out on the lanai with the stunning sea and sunset views. We also saw sea turtles from the lanai and used this as the perfect home base for each separate day trip. The two bed/two bath setup with in suite laundry and full, well-stocked kitchen made for the perfect setting with the perfect view in the perfect location! We certainly hope to be back one day! ##### Rick G.

The sound of the surf was very soothing.My only slight criticism is that the air conditioner isn't powerful enough for the space. The main living room was cooled down enough but it never made it to the bedrooms. But that's only a slight issue. The rest of the place was great. ##### James T.

Sharon & Lynn have 2 units at KBK and both are in great shape. We were able to see whales and a lot of turtles from the Lanai. Lynn provides a detailed welcome letter and we decided to check out the beaches that were in the welcome letter. They all turned out to be some of the best hidden gems we have ever found in Kona. Lynn also has a very fast internet connection in the unit and if you use Netflix they have a Blue-Ray player with the Netflix app enabled on it. It was definitely tough to leave KBK and come back to Bay Area traffic. We will definitely be back. ##### Kevin F.

Unfortunately, the apartment is poorly furnished. All the furniture is very uncomfortable. Sofa & chair in livingroom are painful to sit on. Outdoor sofa & chairs: same story. Beds are very cheap/poor quality. Not even a box spring under the master bed. It's more like a cot. I could feel the springs poking me all night. Sheets were stained, floor was so dirty our feet were black within a few hours of checking in. Noisy neighbors on all sides. I guess you get what you pay for. Sadly, we will not be back. ##### Allison F.

Condo was very clean, well maintained, and well decorated. The view is to die for, kitchen is well equipped, location is close enough to enjoy everything Kona has to offer yet far enough out to escape the noise. We enjoyed the large, private, lanai, you can actually walk around tables and chairs. We enjoyed watching the surfers at Banyans right from the lanai, which is one of the top places in Hawaii for surfing. My wife loves her turtles and there were several everyday right out front in the tide pools. The grounds at Bali Kai are very nice and well maintained and seems secure. Lynn and Sharon are wonderful owners and a joy to meet. This was our first visit to the Big Island after visiting the other 5 major islands of Hawaii, I guess we saved the best for last. We will definitely visit the Big Island again, 8 days was just not enough. We will plan our next trip around availability of Lynn and Sharon's condo, we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Lynn and Sharon for sharing your wonderful condo with us, I hope to see and talk to you soon on our next trip to Hawaii. ##### Ben H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan C. 1 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic View The view and distance to the ocean can’t be beat! Watch surfers in the morning, sea turtles in the tide pool in the afternoon and then beautiful sunsets. Probably one of the best stocked kitchens of any VRBO we have stayed at in terms of cooking and dining utensils, plates, etc. The only complaint is that the small HVAC unit is essentially useless, but as long as the trade winds are blowing should not be a major issue. The late afternoon/early evening on one of our four days was a little uncomfortable. Having Da Poke Shack in the complex and steps away is a HUGE plus if you like poke. Pricy, but the best I ever have eaten. ##### Dan C. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Teresa G. 10 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### July 30 - Aug 9 2021 Property was as advertised. Stunning location, 40 ft from the ocean and facing west for awesome sunsets. Note there is no swimming at this location but there is a great public beach just south of the complex. Lanai is large and perfect for sunsets. Furniture in the unit is old and should be replaced. Both beds are beyond worn, one too soft the other hard as a rock. AC works wells but front bedroom doesn't cool enough as the AC is a window unit installed in the family room. Sofa is worn with no support and very uncomfortable. If the beds and sofa are replaced the place would be perfection. ##### Teresa G. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2021 ---
