Wonderful Trip, Fantastic Condo and Terrific Hosts
This was our ten year anniversary trip and it turned out to be our best vacation ever! We loved our visit to the Big island and it was all thanks to Mike the owner of the condo. His condo was just perfect. The condo is a very large studio with a large bedroom area and living room area. Having a very comfortable king size pedestal bed, with drawers for our cloths was a very nice feature. A full size washer and drawer, large refrigerator freezer, dishwasher, coffee grinder was a he bonus for us. We have rented other studios in the past and they just had a double Murphy bed on the wall and felt like we were in an 18 foot trailer. Mike's condo is just like a one bedroom place and we just loved being on the lanai. We ate all our meals there and enjoyed using the beach chairs and boogey boards he provided. We discovered he also provided beach towels, so no need to use our own that we had brought. The condo is decorated in a tropical way with very modern colors, ceiling fans and air conditioning - which we never needed. Mike even has a ceiling on the lanai. The views were out of this world. We watched several whales and spinner dolphins while having breakfast on the Lani. In the morning you can see all kinds of tropical fish and sea turtles in the tide pools below the condo. We also took advantage of the BBQ's on the ocean front below the condo and also used the new pool at the Bali Kai. Parking was off street and there is no charge to park. The elevator was a huge bonus as we brought our bikes and used them while on the Island.
The only thing wrong with our visit was that we did not stay long enough, so we have already rebooked with Mike for next year.
If you have never been to the Big Island you should give it a try as there is so much to see and do from the wonderful diving and snorkeling to hiking through the volcano park or zip lining over falls near Hilo.
We would also like to thank Mike for the excellent activity sheet he provided after we made the booking. It helped us plan our days and use our time to see as many things as we could. Plus his reference books cam in very handy, so thanks again Mike. We look forward to meeting you next year during our visit.
Mahalo...
Excellent location and views
While small, this condo is very well maintained and has everything you would need for your stay. The views from the balcony are absolutely outstanding. We would definitely stay at this location another time and hope to.
We love this place - cool breezes never used AC
What a beautiful condo! The owners have really done a super job in upgrading this condo. It is very well equipped, clean, comfortable and very well maintained.
We were worried as we arrived in the middle of the summer and it was very hot and humid outside. Both my wife and I were sweaty and uncomfortable once got off the plane and were waiting for our luggage at the Kona airport. We knew the condo had AC, but how effective would it be? We were pleasantly surprised to discover the condo was actually cool due to the fact that it was right on the water. During our two week trip we only used the A/C once around 3:00 pm in the afternoon. We had been hiking all day and needed a quick bit of cool air. After about 30 minutes we were completely cooled off, shut off the A/C and opened up the lanai sliding door and felt great. Normally condo's are so hot without A/C. However, this condo is right on the water or about 15 feet from it. It sits on the top floor and even has three ceiling fans to help keep the air flow moving (if needed). We found the evenings were so comfortable with the lanai door open and listening to the waves rolling in.
The king size bed was very comfortable,, better than our at home! Even though this unit is advertised as a studio we never felt cramped as the bedroom is separate from the living room. We ate all our meals on the lanai and had a very nice outdoor BBQ not far from us.
The owners provide beach chairs, beach umbrella, beach towels and even some snorkel equipment. The kitchen is very well stocked and the sofa was very comfortable. The views from the lanai are outstanding. We also loved the unit being on the end and on the top floor. We never heard anyone but some birds singing and the sounds of the waves. While in Maui we stayed in a unit that was not on the top floor and we heard the sounds of people walking (more like jumping up and down) every time they were in the condo. It was horrible. None of that at unit 425.
If you want a very special place this condo is for you. It is very reasonably priced and we loved having a full size washer and dryer in the condo. My wife and I loved this place so much we stayed again in December 2017 for three nights. We wanted to stay longer but the condo was booked solid. Hence we have already made our booking for next February 2019.
Thanks again for such a wonderful stay...
Mahalo,
Mike and Luanne
Perfect, private, will book again soon!!!
Thank you for sharing your studio condo that had everything we could want for privacy and expansive sunset views, the sound of the gentle waves, a deck that we enjoyed endlessly, and well appointed kitchen. I never thought I would comment on a bathroom...with beautiful nature tones granite on the walls... even with a small footprint, it was wonderful - water could be set to indulge you from many directions. The high ceilings throughout and versatile fixtures are great for all size guests. The king size bed was positioned in the room to allow you to lay down directly facing the ocean/sunsets, or the TV or the book case, or the open room/refreshing fan. We typically try new places with each visit to the islands - but from now on we are looking forward to staying here again and again! We thoroughly loved everything about this wonderful escape!!! The owner provided us with lots of information before we arrived and in the condo there were useful thoughtfully written (w/ humor) guide books that helped us map out where we would explore across the island. We did laundry there, cooked meals on most days, appreciated the ice maker, found the place well equipped, and we donated a new square skillet and some supplies. The owners have really created a beautiful, cozy, romantic, relaxing, and nourishing environment with personal touches that you notice more each day, especially as the light changes. Thank you for sharing your extra special retreat!!!
Kona Bali Kai Condo
We spent a week at 425 Kona Bali Kai condo, first week of December 2017. We absolutely loved it! Each night we slept with the patio door open and slept to the sound of the surf crashing on the rocks... I haven't slept so well in years! The condo has everything one needs for preparing meals, and we dined alfresco on the lanai with the best view in Kona! The bed and furnishings were completely comfortable. Each afternoon we reveled in watching sea turtles enter a tide pool in front of the condo, and watch them play and crawl up on the rocks and sun themselves. The condo is just minutes from restaurants & shopping, but them you come back for the view! Thanks Mike for sharing your little spot of paradise!
Unbeatable view, great location, very clean and cozy
I spent three nights in early November. From the lanai, all you see is ocean. The unit is only about 20 feet from the shoreline, and you don't see the ground from the 4th floor, just the water and sky. Located about 4 miles from downtown tourist area and about 3 miles from a good shopping center on the south end of the road. Kitchen and bath recently remodeled, entire unit very clean. Only glitch was with the internet/cable service not working, but those things happen and the owner was responsive.
