About this apartment rental
Summary:
Start the day with Kona coffee on your screened lanai, looking toward the Pacific before the island warms up. This second-floor, 417-square-foot studio is made for two, with a queen bed, a full kitchen, air conditioning, and an in-home washer and dryer that make beach days easy. Magic Sands Beach Park is about a mile away, and Ali'i Drive leads you toward Pahoehoe Beach Park, Lyman's surf break, and the restaurants of Kailua Village. Come back from the salt water for a swim in the shared outdoor pool or a soak in the shared hot tub, then take your drink back outside for the evening view. It is a relaxed Kona base for a couple who wants real beach time, not a complicated itinerary. It leaves room for the best part of Kona: an unhurried day by the water.
The Space:
Inside, this is a well-planned studio for two: a queen bed, a full-size loveseat, and a small breakfast setup give the 417 square feet an easy flow. The full kitchen has full-size appliances for meals at home, while air conditioning and ceiling fans offer a cool reset after the beach. Sliding out to the private screened lanai brings the ocean view into your morning coffee or dinner for two.
Guest Access:
Guests at Kona Bali Kai enjoy access to the shared pool and hot tub, plus an elevator and garage parking. The grounds feature gardens and beach front views, with ocean access and outdoor seating available for guests to enjoy between excursions.
The Neighborhood:
Along Ali'i Drive on Kailua-Kona's sunny west coast, Kona Bali Kai gives you an easy rhythm of surf, beach time, and town evenings. Magic Sands Beach Park and Pahoehoe Beach Park are each about a mile away for sand, tide pools, and an ocean dip, while Lyman's surf break is less than a half mile from the complex. Head a couple of miles north to historic Kailua Village for waterfront restaurants, shops, and an evening stroll. It is a strong base for families and couples who want the Pacific close and downtown Kona within easy reach.
Getting Around:
A rental car is the easiest way to explore the Kona Coast at your own pace. Ali'i Drive connects this area with Kailua-Kona, beach parks, dining, and shops. Check your reservation details for parking information and plan on a car for flexible access to beaches and day trips.
Other Things to Note:
This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.

The several large buildings and parking area where this unit is located are on the opposite side of the busy road where the main Kona Bali Kai buildings, office, pool, hot tub, ocean front lounging / walking areas and beach are located. I arrived an hour early, the office was already closed and my Vacasa check-in instructions gave no indication where this studio was located. It took a long time to find the unit among the multiple 3-4-story buildings on both sides of the busy road. After waiting patiently for my 4 pm check-in time, I was forced to wait an add'l 2.5 hrs. due to Vacasa property management mistakes with the key-coded lock. Without my follow up calls, my check-in with them would have been delayed even longer! This unit had no house manual or any printed instructions for where to find / how to operate things such as snorkel equipment, A/C unit, TV, access to pool, amenities. I never did figure out how to get into the pool area (which was uninviting, being completely shaded by the tall buildings closely built around it. The studio unit itself was clean and well stocked. The sliding doors open out to a very small lanai (only enough room for 2 chairs) directly above the busy Ali'i Dr. Construction and road noise were a major issue. The unit's view looks directly at the 4-story high Kona Bali Kai buildings across the street. The listing's "ocean view" feature pertains to a "sneak peak" of ocean visible only from the far end of the facing tall buildings.

We loved that this condo was in a quieter, less busy area. It was convenient we could hop on a bus to the shopping village (the bus seemed to arrive at 40 after the hour and ran every hour - we had a hard time figuring out the times it arrived at the stops). The home had everything needed for cooking. It was clean and fit our needs perfectly. It's not exactly beach-front, but there is two small sandy areas where one could put their feet in the water, relax, and/or watch the sunset. The beach view was a plus! Absolutely beautiful!

Just a quick drive to town, and the beach area across the road is nice for exploring and viewing sea turtles (no swimming though).
