The condo was very clean, had everything we needed in kitchen and bath. Lots of beach towels, beach chairs and toys for kids. Loved having morning coffee and evening drinks on the balcony. What a view! Could watch surfers on the rollers coming in.
At the water there are lots of rocks and tide pools at low tide. It is not a sandy beach in front, but at the ends of the property there are beach areas, with mixed sand and rocks.
There is a poke bowl take out restaurant on the premises, and a great taco truck a 5 minute walk down the street.
The swimming pool is tucked inside the buildings, so not scenic. It is a very deep pool, it goes to 6 ft deep right after the entry steps, so would be difficult for children.

Amazing View
by Harvey

The most stunning feature of the unit is the view overlooking the tidal pool and the ocean, which is perfect for watching sunsets. The unit was very comfortable for two couples. It is very well maintained and clean and the kitchen is very well equipped. A bonus was all the beach equipment in the storage box on the balcony, which included beach chairs, umbrellas, buggy boards, snorkeling equipment, etc. I highly recommend the host Big Island Stays and the unit.

Amazing place to relax
by Ellie
5/5
I had the most amazing stay at this property—it truly felt like the perfect place to relax and unwind. The highlight for me was the main bedroom, which offered stunning ocean views all day long. It was incredibly peaceful, allowing me to just sit back, enjoy the scenery, and reflect on my next chapter in life.
The community surrounding the property was very quiet, which made for an even more tranquil experience. The pool was another highlight; it was never crowded, giving me plenty of space to enjoy time there.
Overall, it was a fantastic getaway, and I left feeling completely refreshed. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene, peaceful retreat with breathtaking views.

All the condo's we have rented from Hawaiian Isle Real Estate have exceeded our expectations. They have been clean, well-appointed with furnishing's kitchen ware and linens. All items are of very good quality. One of my favorite extras is the beach box that sits on the deck. This unit's box contained 4 beach chairs, boogie boards, foam noodles a cooler and a beach cart that transports all of this to your car, the beach and back to the room. Also, the cart folds up easily and all the items fit very nicely in the back of our SUV. The Kona trolly also stops right Infront of the Kona Bali Kai and is very convenient for running to and from town. It saves you quite the hassle of finding a parking place and the expense of paying for the parking when you do find one. We will look to Hawaiian Isle Real Estate to rent another of their properties when we go bank to Kona. Definitely a 5-star operation.

Condo location was fantastic, literally just a few steps from the ocean. Tide pool right in view of the condo with visiting Green Turtles and a myriad of underwater critters to look at. The lanai provided great outdoor living space with beautiful sunsets. Condo had two bathrooms and well equipped kitchen to accommodate our group. Condo amenities included ample parking, pool and hot tub. Looking forward to returning again!
Great Time

The unit is in a marvelous location along Alii Drive. It is in a quiet, non-commercial neighborhood. But it is less than five minutes to the center of Kailua.
The highlight of the unit, however, is the view from the lanai. It is only 30 feet from the Pacific Ocean, overlooking a tidal pool. We stayed for almost three weeks, and never got tired of the whales, the waves and the sunsets.

This unit is beautiful. We loved it here! We stayed at the same complex two years ago but in a different unit. This one was by far so much better than the previous one. The lanai is perfect. The kitchen was well stocked as were supplies for laundry. Everything was clean and well kept. The A/C worked perfectly! We can't wait to book again. Thank you!

It's always hard to pick a place when you've never been there. This place did not disappoint. Pictures were great and really accurate. Beautiful view from balcony. We slept with the windows open all night to hear the ocean. It's south of Kona and away from the noise so it's peaceful. Condo is supplied with pretty much everything you need. Even beach chairs and toys. We would totally go back to this place again.
Excellent experience at this great oceanfront unit

We had a great time at this rental. The unit is clean and nice.
Supplies are ready upon our arrival. Everything we need is there. Parking is always available on the main level of the building with a good size lot. Sitting at the balcony is a spectacular experience. We enjoyed our drink while looking at the sunset, listening to the ocean sound, and enjoying the cool breeze from the ocean. The place is roomy and comfortable that we spent a good amount of time there besides going to well-known beaches. The swimming pool area is clean as well, and there's good number of beach chair in the area to enjoy. Overall, this place is good. We had a truly relaxing vacation experience, and we're looking forward go back to this place in our future vacation(s).

We really enjoyed the stay and its amenities. The location was convenient and nearly right on the water! Sunset views were beautiful from the balcony. Kids loved the condo pool. My husband and I loved sitting on the lanai/balcony each morning and evening staring out into the ocean. We highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back again .

Kona Bali kai 219 is amazing. Either sitting on the patio watching the surfers, the waves or the sun set, this truly ocean front condo gave us a complete get away. This units central location made getting to Kailua Kona a simple fun excursion. Defiantly going back.

My wife, 16 year old son and I stayed here for three nights and were sad that we were not able to stay longer. The condo was immaculate and stocked with everything that we needed for our stay. As I mentioned in the title, this condo has an amazing front row view of the ocean. We witnessed spectacular sunsets every night and loved looking at the ocean-life in the tidal pools just a few steps away. We felt right at home in Kona Bali Kai #219 and are looking forward to staying here again the next time we visit the big island.
Beautiful and convenient location

5/5
Ocean front unit with beautiful view and sound of the ocean. You can find tons of sea urchins, hermit crabs, crabs and fish in the tide pools right below the unit. There is 2 trolley/bus stops right in front of the unit that go north and south of Ali'i Dr. The trolley is FREE and a must to try! It comes by every hour. It is a very convenient and fun way to travel to downtown, farmers market, nearby beaches, and shopping centers. Some older websites may say the trolley is $2 per person, but that is old info and is no longer the case. It is completely free, but there is a box near the driver to drop your tip in if you wish.
The pool in the condo complex is fun for kids. There are pool noodles, 2 beach chairs, beach towels provided for guests to use in the unit.
Covered parking is spacious and easy to get in and out.
A little peace of heaven in Kona

We were so impressed with the cleanliness of the unit. As we walked in, everything was so clean and the decoration was so beautiful. They provided lots of bath towels, beach towels, all the cleaning supplies, extra blankets for my kids to sleep in the sofa bed. The kitchen is filled with spices, plates and bowls, pots and pans, utensils and even with a blender for me to make my morning smoothie. What makes me even more impressed was the little shed in the balcony, they provided a wagon, all beach supplies like beach chairs, umbrella, swimming floats for kids, a small stroller, snorkling gears, sand toys and even water shoes for my whole family. Every evening, I love to come back to the house to enjoy the beautiful sunset because the ocean is just right in front of your balcony. This place makes me feel like home, we would definitely come back. Thank you so much!

I love this unit! Ocean Front with a view of a turtle pond, sunset, surfers, and sound of the ocean all night. Clean unit, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds. Close to town and the trolley stops right in front of the complex. I could live here!

My family and I stayed at Kona Bali Kai #219 in February 2022, I'm impressed with how much changed they've upgraded to the unit from new adventure gears (body boards, kid toys, wagon, foldable chairs...etc.) to new comfy sleeper sofa and chair, bedsheets, and kitchen supplies. The place is extremely clean and well organized, it makes us feel like home, and the price is very reasonable and good for the prime location. The view is unreal the unit has the best view compared to other units (spectacular sunset view and the bbq table right below the unit). Kona Bali Kai# 219 is definitely our regular stay when we're in Kona and I'd recommend it to anyone who's looking for the best stay in Kona!
An amazing experience

This place is even more beautiful than in the listing photos.
It was so clean. Lots of kitchen and bathroom supplies. They also include a lot accessories for your beach trips like towels, beach chairs, wagon, surfing boards...They are so new and clean.
The view though is absolutely gorgeous! We can hear the sound of the wave 24 hours. The balcony is so roomy, they have lots of couches and chairs to sit and enjoy the enjoy the beautiful view.
I would recommend to close the sliding doors if you cannot sleep hearing the wave noise 😜
We will definitely come back as we are absolutely hooked! Mahalo!

We had a wonderful time in KBK 219. This is our second time staying in KBK 219. We have also stayed in other oceanfront KBK units over the years. KBK 219 is clean, well equipped and everything in the unit worked well. Checkin was easy and the location of the property is great.
