About this property

The Surf Shack at Kona Bali Kai 151

Summary:
The Surf Shack is a stylish one-bedroom condo across from the beach at the Kona Bali Kai. It features AC, WiFi, access to a pool, hot tub, oceanfront picnic area with grills, and free parking. The Kona trolley stop is right outside. Just 1 mile from Magic Sands Beach and 3 miles to Kona town, it’s the perfect surf-themed retreat for a relaxing tropical vacation.

The Space:
The Surf Shack is a bright, surf-themed one-bedroom condo with modern updates. It offers air conditioning, reliable WiFi, and access to an outdoor pool, business center, hot tub, Da Poke Shack(famous Hawaiian restaurant), and Da Coco Shack. Guests can enjoy the oceanfront picnic area with gas grills and free parking for one car.

Guest Access:
Guests have full private access to the condo, including the lanai, in-unit washer/dryer, and all upgraded amenities. Free parking. You'll also have access to the oceanfront complex across the street, which features a pool, hot tub, business center, BBQ grills, picnic tables, tide pools, Da Poke Shack (famous Hawaiian restaurant), Da Coco Shack, and lounge areas. Free parking is included, and a trolley stop right out front makes it easy to get to downtown Kona.

The Neighborhood:
Located right on Alii Drive, Kona Bali Kai #151 places you in the heart of Kailua-Kona’s scenic coastline. Across the street, enjoy tide pools, beach, and unforgettable sunsets. Walk to the famous Da Poke Shack for fresh local eats, or hop on the trolley out front for a quick ride to historic Kona town, filled with shops, restaurants, cafés, and oceanfront nightlife or head to Magic Sands Beach and Magics Beach Restaurant and Beach Shack about 5 minutes driving south. The area is peaceful yet close to everything—perfect for exploring the Big Island.

Getting Around:
Parking is free and easy on-site if you’re renting a car—highly recommended for exploring the Big Island. For local trips, a trolley stop is right out front, offering convenient rides to downtown Kona, local beaches, shops, and restaurants. Walking and biking along Alii Drive is also a great way to enjoy the ocean views and nearby attractions.

Other Things to Note:
This is a first-floor walk-up unit with no elevator, there are about 5 stairs to the unit. The split A/C in the living room keeps the space cool, and ceiling fans help circulate air throughout. The complex is divided by Alii Drive—your unit is on the mauka (mountain) side, while the pool, hot tub, business center, beach access, Da Coco Shack and Da Poke Shack are on the makai (ocean) side. Quiet hours are 9 PM to 8 AM to ensure a peaceful stay for all guests.

Interaction with Guests:
We respect your privacy but are always available if you need anything during your stay. You’ll receive detailed check-in instructions before arrival, and we're just a message or phone call away for any questions, tips, or local recommendations to help make your Kona stay unforgettable.

Great place to stay for any couples or family with smaller kids. Use the pull out beed for the kids and had plenty of space to hangout. Management was super responsive. All the amenities included was a huge plus including beach chairs, cooler, and washing machine.

Place is well used but upgraded enough to meet the value you pay. It has all the amenities needed and nice extras like beach chairs, buggy board and water things. Host is very responsive. AC is in the family room which is adequate to keep the bedroom at a manageable temperature in the winter but would most likely not be comfortable in the summer. There are fans throughout. No great places to unpack if your there 2 weeks like we were but we made it work. People above are very loud at all hours of the day.Parking was not well described and a disgruntled neighbor was quick to let us know not to park in her reserved spot. This place is across the street from the main pool, hot tub and beach but it’s still no problem to cross the street and use the amenities or enjoy the sunset!
