  • Holly, We had a lovely time in your studio/condo at Kona Bali Kai on the Big Island. The condo was comfortable, nicely updated and well supplied with everything we could possibly need. The best part, of course, was the great location- directly on the ocean, top floor, corner unit. Though there seemed to be other people staying in the complex, we felt complete privacy-- just us and the ocean. We are totally spoiled now and will be unable to stay in the many other condos which are not oceanfront! We enjoyed the lanai, the pool, the tidepools and turtles, and watching the surfers. Thanks for your hospitality and friendliness, you made the whole process easy! Hope to see you again! Sue and Rob Brown

  • We stayed in another condo down the way for the first four days. This one was very nice but not quite the top-shelf of the other place. Both are managed by Holly. The views and lanai here are terrific, and on the whole, the place was very clean and well kept. It lacked in a few details like a TV/DVR combo that didn't quite work right and slightly under-equipped kitchen. But on the whole a good experience!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you very much for the comments and letting me know the couple of glitches in the place!! I will get both items taken care of immediately!! We want as close to 'top-shelf' as possible!!! Mahalo and Aloha, Holly

  • This was THE best place to stay… We had stayed before in the same complex, but it was nothing compared to this condo. The amenities are second to none and I cannot think of anything else I would ever need or request. You can tell that quite a bit of thought went into every detail in the condo. I was jealous of the bathroom’s deep tub with jets and the nice wood furniture on the lanai. Will we ever be back? Oh yes we will… Holly – you are the greatest!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you Andrew!! You guys were great and I look very forward to your next visit here!!! Aloha!! Holly (Orchid Lady)

  • We enjoyed 10 fabulous days on Kona! Oh how we miss living in Hawaii. The condo was beautiful. The lanai was our favorite part of the condo. We so enjoyed the water front and amazing sunsets while relaxing on the chaise lounge chairs. Mahalo Holly!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    I'm so glad that you were able to come and visit your old stomping grounds again and really enjoyed yourselves!! Hope to see you back soon! Aloha, Holly

  • The best place to stay on the Island hands down! It was the perfect home away from home. It had all the amenities you would need. We ate breakfast on the lanai every morning as the waves crashed over the rocks below. The full kitchen made it nice to prepare our breakfast and lunch. The condo is just a quick 2 mile drive to the main hub of town, away from the noise but close enough to walk or run. We would highly recommend staying here. We can't wait to go back! Thanks Holly and Robin! Aloha! Brooke and Geoff Goodman

  • To anyone wondering if pictures on the internet can actually represent a condo...YES! Everythng about this unit was wonderful. Everything you could need was there--we could have could have cooked gourmet meals if we had been that ambitious. Instead we used the condo as home base for exploring the Big Island(800 miles on our rental car.) We loved listening to the waves, watching for whales from the lanai, and climbing the lava beach to take some great pictures of the turtles. Do we recommend this ccondo? ABSOLUTELY! Maholo, Holly. Aloha till we can come again.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Could a review get any better than this?! I don't think so!! Thanks so much for taking the time to send it in and for taking such great care of the place! Hope that you can come back again in the not too distant future!! Aloha! Holly

  • We loved our stay in this studio/condo. It was perfect for us. We felt like we were on a cruise ship looking out on the ocean. We enjoyed cooking fresh ahi on the community grill one night and eating on the lovely lanai. I've never stayed anywhere that EVERY item you could possibly need was there. This is a terrific home base for exploring the island and very private. We watched the turtles and waded in the tide pools, slept with the ocean in our ears and hated when it was time to move on to the next island! THANK YOU!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Your comments make me want to put a NO VACANCY sign up and go and stay down there for a couple of nights again!! Thanks for your comments and I hope you can come and visit again! Holly

  • Holly, The condo could not have been better. It is centrally located and has all the amentities a visitor could want. The beach chairs and cooler were a great convience. We have stayed in other condos on the island and you can't have a better view and privicy than #425. Thanks again Kevin and Nancy
    
    Homeowner Response:
    So glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks so much for spending your vacation in the condo and also for added maintenence duties! The expertly installed shower curtain is much appreciated, and seems to be holding up well!! Look forward to seeing you both again! Mahalo, Holly

  • We, too, were very pleased with our selection of #425, Kona Bali Kai for our Kailua-Kona vacation. Holly was so friendly and helpful even checking on our safety when there was a winter storm visiting one morning! The view from the lanai was wonderful with the sound of the waves always present and wonderful sunsets and views of the full moon across the water. The condo was located at a good, central location for travel north and south along the coast. It was very well-equipped and comfortable.
