Excellent location- far enough away from the main tourist strip and close to the best snorkeling in the Kona area. Easy covered parking, lanai looking onto the ocean and local surf break. All the kitchen amenities you need and a cooler to borrow for day trips! The only drawback is the curtains in the smaller bedroom donât bock out the intense light from the (blinking!) street light so this makes it really hard for light sleepers like me.

Everything was as they said it would be. Beautiful views of the ocean , guiet and peaceful.
This condo has the best location. Easy to every where. The condo however could use a little repair, and updating. I spent a month staying here and I just looked past the condo issues and just loving the area.
What a wonderful comfortable space. We felt very content here and particularly enjoyed the lanai looking at the waves and watching very talented surfers.
Property managers responsive to concerns. Beautiful view right on the ocean. Waves and surfers. Unit dated needs some simple things. No screen on lanai so hard to sit out much before sunset. Needs bedroom dressers to store clothing. Bedroom bedside stands water damage. Small TV, low to floor. Beach chairs low, need four that are âageâ friendly. And a storage box on the lanai for beach gear. Replace patio furniture with more comfortable chairs. Table cloth for table. And a few simple spices
This condo was the perfect size for my family of four! The location was convenient and in the perfect spot for watching a beautiful sunset. The beds were super comfortable and the AC in the master bedroom was a bonus! Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Great rental right on the beach. Great communication with instructions, questions, etc. would stay there again and recommend to others.
Loved the location! Easy check in and out process. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets, watched the locals surf, saw whales and dolphins, too. It would be nice to have a light out on the lanai. Otherwise, we will be staying here again!

We had a wonderful time on the island as well as in our bali kai vacation rental the Knutson team was very supportive on whatever we needed and everything was great at the unit we will definitely be coming back to Kona again and of course we will rent from Knutson once again.
This condo was in great condition and perfect for our family. The view couldn't have been better. It had everything we needed for our week's stay in Kona.

Enjoyed watching the surfers straight off the balcony and loved hearing the pounding waves 24 hours/day! No stores or restaurants within walking distance but easy to get to by car.

Perfect location. Loved the balcony. Right on the water! Thank you for allowing us to stay.
Condo is clean and well stocked. It could use some upgrading, cabinets and carpet are very old. Beautiful views of the deck and sunsets are breath taking. If you come talk to Christie she is very nice and helpful.
Aloha Kona Bali Kai! We stayed in the penthouse and it has a spectator view! This is a perfect unit for a family of 6! The ocean is right below so you can dip your toes or just soak up that fabulous Hawaii sunshine. Mahalo

We really enjoyed our stay at Kona Bali Kai. The ocean is so close that you can hear the waves crashing. We watched the surfers daily while drinking coffee on the lanai. The condo was a perfect size for my husband and me, and we cooked most of our meals there.

2nd time at this property and it did not disappoint! We spent 3 glorious weeks and had everything we needed in this condo! All personnel were friendly. Enjoyed the pool and the beach. Great place to sit on lanai and watch surfers. Wonderful location to the rest of the island. We will visit again!
This place has a very "beach house" vibe going for it. It's not the newest place in town and definitely has some signs of being a little dated, but overall, we loved the place! It was super nice to have the extra room for our baby. The property management were super easy to get ahold of and we're constantly making sure we were ok and to see if we needed anything. They pointed us in the right direction for baby rental equipment when they were unable to provide one themselves (not a negative at all, just grateful they know who to call about a pack and play for my son). We would absolutely come back and stay here! Mahalo and thanks!
This unit has a great ocean view. It is right on the ocean front. You can watch the surfers and the sunset right from the lanai. Parking on the first floor of the building is very convenient and keeps the car cool. Closest beach is a mile away. However you can find places on the property to lay out in the sun. Oceanfront is mostly lava, but there are some sandy spots and some tide pools. We even saw a sea turtle on the property while we were there. The full kitchen and washer/dryer are great to have. The unit is a little outdated but that doesnât really matter it is still very nice. Beach chairs, cooler, snorkeling gear were provided. Best part of this unit is the ocean right off the lanai!

The best thing about this place was the view!! The second bedroom was toward the road & was hard to leave the window open for the air movement. We bought a fan that did help. The air-conditioner didn't work that well & was very shocking that it was on a timer!! The place seemed smaller than I thought it would be but there was a lot of extras like snorkel gear & a cooler which was great! The rental company was really good about letting me know ahead of time of some scheduled maintenance (bug spray).

We had a party of 4 staying at Kona Bali Kai during the July 4th holiday week. The views from the lanai were exceptional and the ocean sounds were amazing at night (for the master suite). Sunsets while having dinner outside were perfect. One downside we experienced was the 2-hr timer on the one and only air unit in the condo. It made it impossible to have air conditioning at night unless you woke up to restart it every few hours. It also didn't reach the living area or 2nd bedroom so consider this when making your plans to visit. There is plenty of options for open airflow in this unit however, so using it when there was an ocean breeze was nice. For the guests in the second bedroom, they experienced some negatives due to the street noise - it was loud most hours of the late night and early morning and with the necessity of having windows open for air flow there was no way to avoid the distraction. The cabinetry in the unit could also use some updating / repair but overall the unit met our needs and we enjoyed our visit to Kona while staying here. The management company was easy to work with and communicated with us while we were on site to make sure our stay was comfortable. We loved the nearby snorkeling and downtown area that was a short drive away. Would recommend this to friends, specifically if only 2 people in the group.

What volcano? No issues for us!
We were here May 14-28, 2018, during the Kilauea eruption but experienced hardly any effects of the volcano--no bad smells, no irritated eyes, no difficulty breathing (and I am 4 months post-heart attack). Anyone who has visited Kailua Kona knows that, eruption or not, it can be hazy from volcanic fog--vog--and it was. But we are from Seattle where we are used to overcast--no big deal because here in Kona it is in the 80's! It helps to take a look at the map of the Big Island to see exactly how big it is and how far away Kona is from all that is going on. If it had not been for the news, we would have never known there was an eruption going on. But our experience during the time we were there was great!
We loved this condo right on the beach, spending most of our days on the lanai. It was exactly what we were looking for. The building was probably built in the 70's and it does show its age. It has the usual issues that come with being continually exposed to salt air and ocean spray. Although there were just two of us, it is spacious enough for four comfortably. The sleeper sofa would make space for 6 total. If you are looking for a brand new or newish condo with fancy furnishings, etc. this might not be a good fit for you. If all you want is to be right by the beach at a reasonable price, it is perfect.
You will probably want a car for sightseeing. We would certainly stay here again.
