Kona Bali Kai

"This condo is in the perfect location. Your right where you want to be in Kona. Very easy to get around, with everything you need right up the block you can't ask for more. The condo itself is kept extremely well. Stocked with all cooking utensils you need, washer and dryer, tv with cable you have it all. There's also a nice lanai with a beautiful view of the ocean. Many nights we kept the door open and got a perfect ocean breeze and other nights where it was to hot the ac worked wonderful. It also includes an iron with ironing board, and a couple of beach chairs with umbrella and a cooler for the beach. Private parking is great if you rent a car. Staying here beats staying in a hotel especially if you plan on enjoying and seeing Hawaii and not staying indoors all do but if you do need a day inside and hanging out this is a wonder place to stay."

"We enjoyed our stay at the Banyan Tree #302. The condo is beautiful decorated and has breathtaking views of the ocean. The condo was well stocked and had everything we needed from kitchen supplies to beach gear - towels, snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, and chairs. The tips from Janice and Robert on things to do and places to eat were so helpful. I loved the Big Island Revealed book. So many great tips and advice. The Banyan Tree was very conveniently located for our excursions going north and south along the coast. We enjoyed watching the surfers. We attempted to ride the waves but be warned it is pretty rough out there. If you go out make sure to use the stairs. We went out by the small sandy beach and got caught by the rocks. We saw turtles which was a treat! The only negative is that when we were there it was humid. Even with the windows open and the fans on it would get a little stuffy when we were sleeping. Overall we loved the condo!"
