Why the Owner Chose Kona Bali Kai
My first trip to The Big Island was when I was 21 years old and I fell in love. Never then did I think I would be fortunate to own oceanfront property here.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
I go snorkeling with Sea Paradise EVERY time I come an sometimes two times. I love the early morning going over Saddle Road and the Botanical Gardens in Hilo are not to be missed. It is relaxing on the lanai watching the surfers. And I get all the books and magazine read that I don't have time for at home.
Owner's Map of Kona Bali Kai
As owner since 2002 I enjoy coming to Kona 3-4 times a year to maintain my units. Always gives me an great "excuse" to enjoy this incredibly beautiful island.

Your condo was all you promised and more. The “extras” such as beach chairs and boogie boards were fun to have. You were right! The lanai was our favorite spot and we loved watching the surfers. The sound of the surf at night made for extra great sleeping. We ate all our evening meals at home as did not want to miss a sunset. We usually took a picnic with us as we explored the Island each day. We had a wonderful time on the Island it was a great start to our month in Hawaii.

I appreciated having everything we needed available at the condo. My favorite moment other than sitting on the lanai, was having a seahorse twirl around my finger at the sea horse farm - Ocean Riders - they are magical! We had some great meals at Keii Cafe, Kona Country Club, and had fun sitting outside at the Kona Brewery. Mahalo!

Fun watching the surfers handle some big waves! We enjoyed the snorkeling at kealakekua bay (Place of Refuge). The coral is beautiful there. Rough entrance and exit from the water there so gloves help. kahalu'u beach park had wonderful variety of sea life. Stopped at Black Sand Beach on the way to the volcano - very nice. Sea Paradise boat trip was friendly and only 8 other snorkelers on board. Hugo's on the Rocks had fun and excellent music (Sundays) with great view. Gets very crowded by 5 pm. We also appreciated the bird book in the condo, saw lots of different birds.

On Thursday night about 7:30 pm HI time a 8.9 earthquake hit Japan and at 9:30 our time we told to evacuate. We hurriedly packed up everything and loaded it in the car an followed the tsunami evacuation signs. The sirens went off every hour until 5:00 am. We reached out community shelter about an hour later. It had running water, bathrooms and a drinking fountain. It felt cold at 1000' feet above sea level and had us scrambling for jackets etc. Sleeping in the car we got about 3 hours sleep while listening to the radio. The next day we had breakfast with several hundred other evacuees at a shopping center. We parked about 3 blocks from the condo complex because there were boulders trees and sand in the street, parking and pool area. The complex staff had it 80% cleaned up in 24 hrs and 100% cleaned in 48 hours. Pool was open. We want to come back next year because the unit, locations and snorkeling all made this little "inconvenience" worth it.

We discovered all sorts of amenities in the condo like beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards! This was my first time to Hawaii and to wake up to waves crashing, sweet birds singing in the palms and soft fragrant air was bliss! We loved Huggo's on th the rocks for early breakfast, great coffee and happy hours! We loved the downtown Farmer's market, the snorkeling easy entry as Keahou outrigger. We took the Bodyglove snorkel & Dolphin Adventure and it was perfect! Professional crew, great water slides and snorkeling. We went to Hapuna Beach 3 x's - a "picture perfect" beach. We also went to Waipio Valley - powerful and stunning. Your condo was so comfortable, tasteful and we spent hours watching the surfers from the balcony. We hope to come back soon! Mahalo Nui Loa! P.S. The only disappointment..........leaving.

This is such a beautiful condo. It's in a great locatation. Very quiet but yet close to everything in Kona. My husband and I would get up each morning with our coffee and watch the surfers. Each evening we made sure we were back to watch the sunsets with a bottle of wine. The condo has everything you need; beach towels, chairs, beach umbrella, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, coolers. We packed up our lunch each morning, threw it in the cooler and off we went. You won't need a thing! After a long day of sightseeing and/or swimming we would come back and use the hot tub which was so relaxing. The pool area is very nice as well. We used the stainless steel grills as a couple of times. It was perfect....grilling right on the water. :) Every morning the staff lays out nice lawn chairs for people to use along the beach/lawn and they are picked up after the sun goes down. This was our first time to Hawaii and I am so thrilled we stayed here. It made our trip even better. We are talking about coming back next year. Lianne is very easy to work with, you can't go wrong by renting this property! Thanks Lianne!

This place is all about the view and being able to lie in bed watching the surfers at 6.30am and falling sleep with the sound of the waves crashing against the shore! We hardly spent time in the property and pretty much the thing that stopped us giving an excellent was that the bathrooms could do with upgrading. The owner got our only minor problem fixed in a timely manner. Overall, very pleased with our stay and we would stay again..

This condo is the best, the MBr has a view of the lanai and the ocean right there. Sleep with the sound of the ocean! It was the best we have ever rented, has wonderful location and will definitely be back only longer this time. The unit is clean, very well stocked with tons of towels, boogie boards, snorkel stuff and has a washer and dryer. It was fun watching the surfers and paddle boarders in the morning with our coffee! Turtles were a common site in the shallow water by the building. We have traveled to the 4 major Hawaiian Islands and this is our new favorite, with the best snorkeling anywhere!! Place of Refuge has wonderful coral with tons of fish. Joe and Jane (Franklin, TN)
