About this property

Ocean Front Top Floor Condo/Free WiFi & Parking/Pool/Jacuzzi/Grill/Beach Equipmt

Did you ever dream of a vacation where there is nothing between you and the ocean but a few waving coconut palms? This is the place to be!
Wake up to 180 degrees of unobstructed ocean front view from your own lanai, watch the surfers on the waves, migrating whales (in seasons) & dolphins or spot our resident sea turtles – there is no reason to leave your own piece of paradise.

This recently updated, 2 bed/2bath penthouse has everything that you’d need for a perfect get away. Enjoy top floor view and privacy without having to navigate stairs – this complex has elevator service. Keyless entry means no more worries of losing keys going out to the beach. Other in unit conveniences include Wi-Fi connection, cable TV, bluetooth speaker, air conditioning in living area and in unit washer/dryer.

Guests will enjoy many upgrades made since the unit was acquired by current owners in 2016, they include:

Location: Five minute drive from Old Kona, the most historic place on the islands, and five minutes from the safe snorkeling beach at Kahaluu and convenient shopping and dining of Keauhou village. Make yourself at home in our condo for your vacation as you explore the island's eleven micro-climates, beaches of many colors, best snorkeling in all of Hawaii, the coffee plantations on the slope of the world's largest volcano and the breathtaking heights (literally) of the tallest sea mountain in the world, the history and sights of Kealakekua bay, the dazzling views of the Waipi'o valley and the fiery glow of Kilauea. The Big Island is a marvel of diversity that surprises and enchants at every turn, dry and vast one moment, deep green and lush the next. This is the perfect place to explore it from, just a twenty minute drive from the Kona airport. Only one caution: you may have a hard time pulling yourself from the lanai and the mesmerizing sights, sounds and smells it presents!

Beautiful view - holiday inn vibes
The view was phenomenal! The pics are accurate but the they don’t show that it was pretty dirty and dated. From the elevator in the the middle of the property the condo is about a football field away so be prepared to walk. The elevator was broken one day and closed for repairs, we had a mobility challenged person who had to navigate stairs. Overall the interior of unit was one level below a holiday Inn. Needs professional paint & clean including walls and baseboards and door handles and light switches and fixtures, and a place to put luggage ( like a luggage rack). Again the view was amazing!

Family Get-A-Way in Paradise
Great condo with spectacular ocean views. Condo was clean and well furnished. The family enjoyed our 10 days in paradise. It was relaxing waking up to the sound of gentle waves crashing onto the lava rocks. Evening sunsets were gorgeous.

Misleading for the price
Be cautious when considering this unit, as what you see in the photos does not accurately represent reality. The furniture is entirely different — gone are the recliners, and now the living room seats three. Gone is the pictured artwork, leaving primarily bare walls. Priced among the luxury units, it has no amenities, such as a stereo or a radio. It's sparsely furnished and stocked, necessitating we bought kitchen linens and coffee mugs. The primary bedroom is part of the living room with a thin partition not shown in the photos. The second bedroom was habitually hot from poor airflow, receiving no AC. The AC is not central, but a window unit in the living room. The condo complex is small and old. Some parts of this unit have been "updated" but done minimally and cheaply. Overall, we paid for a luxury unit and received a budget one. The unit did not live up to our previous VBRO experiences.

Beautiful ocean view
The location was ideal for us, and was a beautiful view! We had a great stay, the property was clean, well organized and the check in was easy. Pool looked clean and refreshing, although we did not have an opportunity to utilize it. Our only want, a bit more of a selection of pots/ skillets, and cooking utensils… but everyone is different. We would definitely recommend and would visit again if our travels bring us back to the area.

Big Island
FIrst, the things we loved about the property. You could not get any closer to the ocean. The lanai had a straight on view with beautiful sunsets and a small beach. The condo was very clean, and the mini split A/C was very much appreciated as it was unusually hot and humid. The beds were comfortable, and the fans helped keep us cool. Despite some of the comments below, I would probably stay there again. Location was a plus. There was one elevator that went to the 4th floor, which was helpful. They were having a bee problem about half way to our room. We had to do a lot of duck and cover at that area.The building was a bit dated and the condo could have used a fresh coat of paint. If you want to spend any time on the lanai to enjoy the view you will have to turn off the air as the A/C unit outflow will blow very hot air on you. (This was a minor problem: As long as the mini split was turned off when we were out there.) The photos made the place look a bit larger than it actually was. The couch could use an update also. The view was worth the price. Could have done without the bees, but that is not the owners fault. All and all it was a nice place to stay.

Wonderful Ocean Front Unit
The listing was very accurate. We really enjoyed the unit. The period we were there had high temp and humidity. The combination of the A/C and fans cooled the unit down, even after we had been out (we turned the A/C off when we went out). Please note we did not use the 2nd bedroom. The view is outstanding. Nothing between you and the ocean. The lanai is huge (I figure it's 8 feet deep and 22 feet wide). It gives lots of area to sit. We spent a lot of time out there with coffee, a book or just watching the waves and sea turtles in the reef and cove. The unit was very private. We didn't hear anyone around us, even though they were there. During the day you did get some road noise but I didn't notice it while sleeping. The unit was very clean. The flooring is good on the feet and the lack of carpet helps. Kitchen is well laid out and has all the equipment you could use. The location worked well for us. Two or three small beach areas on the property (the one in front of the unit is great when the tide is coming in). 15 minute walk to Magic Sands beach and 10 minute drive to an even bigger beach. 20 minutes from the airport and 5-10 minutes to old town Kona. The unit has a keyless entry which was very appreciated. The building has a pool which we didn't use. We did use the onsite "Da Poke Hut". Very fresh.

The location of the property was amazing! The set up of the unit was very nice however, the one ac unit did not serve the entire unit at all. It was super hot even in the main bedroom which the ac unit was nearest. The second bedroom never cooled off the entire stay which was very disappointing when trying to sleep.

Great Honeymoon Stay
Carolyn's place was fantastic! My husbad and I stayed at her condo for a few nights and were very impressed with the location, amenities, and the cleanliness of the space. Don't forget about the views! It was so enjoyable grabbing a cup of coffee in the morning and sitting out on the balcony. We even saw a turtle one morning. We highly recommend Carolyn's place and will most definitely be staying there again when we come back!

Late arrival found a security guard who helped us get our bearings with parking and finding our way to our place. Thanks Quintin. Condo was as described in our correspondence, had a little difficulty figuring out lights and air conditioning as it was quite warm as we arrivied late. We enjoyed our time on the property and were especially pleased to explore the tide pools and watch a turtle munch away right before our very eyes. Hawaii was all that we expected and more. Thank you!

Lanai is the best part
I noticed the place was not as clean as it should have been. Then we noticed the ants, I contacted the owner, who blamed the cleaners. We had to kill ants every time we walked into the kitchen, this was more than a not cleaning well enough issue. Then 2 nights before we left we saw roaches. I again contacted the owner who said she could get some one in there to spray, but with only 2 nights left we did not want to get sick from the fumes. There were other things, AC was leaking, she got someone in right away to fix that. The bathroom off of the main bedroom had a cold water faucet that fell off in my husband's hand. Then the shower did not get hot water only warm, so we used the other bathroom shower off of the kitchen. There were so many little things that added up to frustration, the roaches were the worst. It is a lot of money to have to kill ants every time in the kitchen. If you stay here and don't mind the issues, enjoy the lanai, it's the best part along with the ocean front property where turtles like to spend time.

This condo was the real deal. The view was amazing and gave you a sense of solitude while still being very close to several towns. Everything was just as pictured and advertised. The included parking was convenient and easily accessible. There is a very nice binder of information on many restaurants, bars and activities in the room.

Nice stay…. Amazing sunsets
The condo is in a great location. Close to the town of Kailua-Kona. The condo is right on the ocean. You look out from the balcony and the ocean right below. The condo looks out to the west so you get beautiful sunsets from the balcony. The condo is quite spacious with two bedrooms and two baths. Nice living, dining and kitchen area. Kitchen has everything you need for cooking. The condo is on the 4th floor. There is an elevator but it’s a good walk to the unit from the elevator. If you have mobility issues it could be too far of a walk. There is ample covered parking which was great. Aspects of the condo interior is well worn (couch, furniture) There was a problem with ants but I think the exterminators were due right after we left. I would stay there again.

We loved our stay here!! The whole place is perfect but the balcony views were a 10/10. We had our breakfast out there, enjoyed the beautiful sunsets, and fish/turtle watching. The main room was also another favorite because we slept with the balcony glass door open and we were able to hear the crashing waves which was so nice to sleep to. Overall we had an amazing time :)

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn

Host profile image
Carolyn and Aart have been married for more than thirty years and have two grown sons. Carolyn is a native of Vietnam and Aart of The Netherlands. Carolyn is a consultant for a large German software company and Aart is a Presbyterian pastor also trained as a counselor. Carolyn likes to bake and travel and Aart likes to write books and be out in nature. They both like kayaking on the ocean although still have to work out who gets to be captain when they do. They enjoy the tropical fruits available on the Big Island and predict that between the two of them, they can keep the fruit orchards in business for a while. Carolyn's favorite are longans and Aart's the local papayas and rambutans. They love the natural diversity of the Big Island and the friendliness of the people and are fascinated by the Hawaiian culture that developed along the Kona Coast.

Why they chose this property

After having lived around a decade in South East Asia & traveled extensively around the world, Aart & Carolyn realize that they have always felt the pull of the tropics and the sea. With their hectic life style, they felt having a place to retreat to & decompress will provide the work life balance they need. They chose the Big Island because of its space, cultural history and natural diversity and the best and most affordable tropical fruits! This condo ticked all their boxes.

What makes this property unique

The view and proximity to the ocean, a location that is close to town yet quiet are among the advantages of Kona Bali Kai. A safe supervised beach for snorkeling (Kahaluu) is also a plus as is the Keauhou shopping center. The unit is quiet and you feel that you are there by yourself. You don't have to go anywhere to have the sights, sounds, smells and feel you're looking for.
