This spectacular air-conditioned oceanfront penthouse condo features spacious open beam ceilings and is only 25 feet from the surf crashing on the lava rocks directly below the lanai. Watch surfers launch into the spectacular 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 on the lanai. Enjoy the brilliant blue skies, colorful Hawaiian reef fish, 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, walk-in shower and contemporary tile work. The beautiful tile floors throughout, 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. Gentle ocean breezes 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.

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. Great views and the condo is well stocked as stated in previous reviews. The communication fromMike the host was excellent. Detailed instructions and very quick to respond to messages. Would stay here again in the event we return to the island.
Well stocked condo at a fantastic spot. The sound of the waves and amazing ocean view beat out other options for sure. The onsite food options and easy parking were pluses as well. Perfect home base for our week of adventures on the big island. No regrets. Would stay here again.
Yes. Host was very helpful. Loved are the labeling and directions in the condo. Made it really easy to find things and know what to do when left. Property was in excellent condition. Loved the lanai
Check in and parking were SUPER easy thanks to the detailed instructions provided to us. The unit had THE BEST views. It was clean and had everything you could need or want on vacation. The area felt safe and was relatively close to shops, farmer's markets and more. The complex was quiet. Friendly people all around. The owner was quick to respond if we needed anything.
You can’t beat the location of this unit (top floor). Breathtakingly beautiful view of the ocean just a few paces from the water. Gorgeous sunsets, calming waves, lots of fish and spinning dolphins and other creatures of the sea. We’ve been to Kona Bali Kai twice now, and we’re coming back!
Fantastic location, close to everything in Kona but private/quiet and family friendly. Delicious tacos and poke within walking distance! Condo was excellent with all the amenities we needed for our one week stay and we slept to the sounds of the ocean every night! Thank you Mike, we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit!!
The condo was very comfortable for our family of 3. Owners have taken extra care to make sure the condo is stocked with amenities. We loved the lanai for morning coffee and sunsets.
We had a fabulous family spring break vacation staying here. Close to great beaches and loved the tide pools right there. Mike was amazing, very responsive and very helpful. The condo had all the amenities and equipment for the beach, chairs, cooler, umbrellas and snorkeling equipment. Would absolutely stay there again!
Ac didn't work for a week and we had maintenace coming in and out to try to fix the ac unit. was difficult sleeping conditions. The cable tv didn't work for 4 days until the cable provider came to replace the cable box. We had to wait until he showed up All that for a 200 refund.We did enjoy the unit for a week

I'm very sorry our guest was inconvenienced. The unit has a mini-split AC unit (outdoor unit and inside unit). The guest arrived on Saturday and did not notify me of the AC problem until Sunday. Contacted the AC tech first thing on Monday morning at 8 AM. Tech came on Tuesday first thing in the AM and installed a new part. Refunded guest $100 for inconvenience at that time. Later that day, guest reported that it still wasn't working correctly. Tech came back that day and again on Wednesday and determined the best solution was to replace the entire unit ($5,000). It was replaced on Friday morning (6 days in) and an additional $200 refund was made for the inconvenience. The guest stayed another 8 days with new AC unit. Guest did not notify me of TV cable not working in the living room until Monday; Spectrum tech replaced the cable box first thing on Tuesday morning. There was a second cable box and TV in the bedroom that worked. While this was a great inconvenience for our guest, we worked promptly to resolve the problem.
This condo was very nice. The master bedroom and living room open onto a beautiful Oceanfront Lanai. Everything you need for the beach is provided, including coolers, towels, umbrella, etc. The garage is being remodeled. The condo was stocked with seasonings for food, cold filtered water in the refrigerator, and usable food in the pantry. It took a while for the air conditioner to cool the unit after we arrived. The AC unit is small.

Thank you for letting me know about the air conditioning unit. We have scheduled a technician to look at the AC unit to see if there’s any problem with the unit.
About the host
Hosted by Mike Gaudette
We are native Oregonians and began vacationing in Hawaii about 20 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. And the nearly constant trade winds keep our condo cool day and night. 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 the 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 4th floor unit with open-beam ceilings that create a feeling of spaciousness We love that there is a panoramic view of the ocean and surfers from anywhere in the unit. We love the way the sun sets every night right between the palm trees off our lanai and how we can sit on the lanai and watch surfers, whales (in season) and turtles. The remodeled baths and walk-in showers are beautiful. 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.
