About this property

Direct Oceanfront Condo with AC, Amazing Sunsets, Tide Pools, Turtles & Surfers

This air-conditioned direct oceanfront unit on the 3rd floor (with elevator) overlooks a large lava tide pool that is frequented by turtles and colorful Hawaiian reef fish. The warm Kona surf laps directly below the lanai. While you lounge on the lanai, watch surfers tackle the blue waves of Banyans Beach, one of Kona’s most popular surfing spots. This beautifully remodeled and furnished condo features an oceanfront living room and master bedroom with unparalleled 180 degree ocean views and access to spectacular Kona sea life and sunsets. Your cares dissolve away as warm sun and soothing surf caress your mind and body in your comfortable chairs. Enjoy the brilliant blue skies, green sea turtles, Humpback whales, spinner dolphins and surfers right from your lanai. In the quiet evening, relax on your lanai and experience the amazing reds and oranges of a spectacular Kona sunset as the huge orb descends into the sea through the softly waving palm fronds. Luxuriate in the master bathroom and shower with multiple shower heads, double sinks and contemporary tile work. The beautiful wood grain floor tile, well stocked kitchen with granite countertops and contemporary cabinets and upscale Hawaiian-themed furnishings will make you wish you never had to leave. During the day, slide the 12’-wide doors between the master bedroom and living room aside to enjoy an unrestricted panoramic ocean view from throughout the living area. At night, leave the lanai doors open in the oceanfront master bedroom and living room and be lulled to sleep by the ceaseless caress of the waves on the worn lava rocks below. Enjoy the gentle ocean breezes to keep you cool day and night whether snoozing on the lanai, entertaining friends in your oceanfront paradise or sleeping soundly in your king-size bed.

The condo was as described and very well appointed. Plenty of kitchen and bath items. The lanai was gorgeous and the community was relaxed/quiet. Great accessibility and ample parking. AC kept things cool for us but there were plenty of ocean breezes as well.

We really enjoyed our stay!You simply cannot beat the oceanfront view. Everything else was good, too. The complex could use some basic improvements but nothing major at all; can just tell it’s a bit dated. The condo was excellent. I did message Mike about a couple minor issues with cleanliness - coffee filter was left full and grew mold and hair in one of the shower drains. He ensured he’d take care of it and I have little doubt he will. The rest of the condo was spotless and well-kept. Also, the AC cooled down the entire condo easily! I was skeptical upon arrival but proven wrong. Cooled down the entire unit very quickly upon arrival after a long day.Highly recommend this place! Enjoy.

The property was very clean and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The view is out of this world. Watching the sunset over the ocean was magical. The kitchen had everything needed to include nice cookware and seasonings. Laundry detergent and other essentials were plentiful, ie sunscreen, beach toys and towels. It’s a few minutes to magic sands beach (highly recommend) and lots of really great food options. The air conditioner was a great amenity. The front room stays warm so definitely use the fans.

Nice location

It was a lovely stay. The addition of ac was nice. I missed the parking pass attachment before we left, but we got it figured out…but be sure to print your parking pass ahead of time. The location was fairly central for exploring that side of the island.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Gaudette

Host profile image
We are native Oregonians and began vacationing in Hawaii about 30 years ago. We loved the islands so much we came back more and more often. We initially bought a one-bedroom condo in 2006 at Kona Bali Kai, across the street from the beach with no ocean view. We live on the Oregon coast, but rarely go to the beach; so, when we decided to buy a larger condo we wanted to be right on the beach - and you can't get any closer than our condo at Kona Bali Kai. We love sharing Hawaii with our kids, grandkids and many friends.

Why they chose this property

We live on the often rainy Oregon coast and didn't want to come to Hawaii and be in the rain. The dry Kona coast is perfect for our vacations. Kona Bali Kai is perfectly situated along Ali'i Drive. It's close enough to old town Kailua-Kona for a refreshing walk into town, but not close enough to have a lot of unwanted traffic or commercial activity. And, of course, you can't get any closer to the beach than at Kona Bali Kai and where else can you watch surfers and sea life all day long from your lanai?

What makes this property unique

We love our 3rd floor unit overlooking the lava tide pool and barbecue. We love the panoramic view of the ocean and surfers from anywhere in the unit. We love the way the sun sets every night by the palm trees off our lanai and how we can sit on the lanai and watch surfers, whales (in season) and turtles. The master bath and walk-in shower features your choice of an adjustable shower head on the wall or a drenching rain head in the ceiling, dual cabinets and sinks, and an elongated toilet. The guest bathroom was also recently remodeled to have a walk-in shower. We love to play games and spend time at the beach in Hawaii, so the unit is fully equipped with games and beach accessories, including children's play toys.
