About this apartment rental

This spectacular air-conditioned oceanfront penthouse condo features spacious open beam ceilings and is only 25 feet from the surf crashing on the lava rocks directly below the lanai. Watch surfers launch into the spectacular blue waves of Banyans Beach, one of Kona’s most popular surfing spots. This beautifully remodeled and furnished condo features an oceanfront living room and master bedroom with unparalleled 180 degree ocean views and access to spectacular Kona sea life and sunsets. Your cares dissolve away as warm sun and soothing surf caress your mind and body on the lanai. Enjoy the brilliant blue skies, colorful Hawaiian reef fish, green sea turtles, Humpback whales, spinner dolphins and surfers right from your lanai. In the quiet evening, relax on your lanai and experience the amazing reds and oranges of a spectacular Kona sunset as the huge orb descends into the sea through the softly waving palm fronds. Luxuriate in the master bathroom, walk-in shower and contemporary tile work. The beautiful tile floors throughout, well stocked kitchen with granite countertops and contemporary cabinets and upscale Hawaiian-themed furnishings will make you wish you never had to leave. During the day, slide the 12’-wide doors between the master bedroom and living room aside to enjoy an unrestricted panoramic ocean view from throughout the living area. At night, leave the lanai doors open in the oceanfront master bedroom and living room and be lulled to sleep by the ceaseless caress of the waves on the worn lava rocks below. Gentle ocean breezes keep you cool day and night whether snoozing on the lanai, entertaining friends in your oceanfront paradise or sleeping soundly in your king-size bed.

Amenities include free in-unit password protected WiFi and internet access (500 Mbps download speed), full-size washer and dryer, coffee grinder, ice chests, frozen ice packs, beach chairs, beach towels, beach mats, boogie boards, snorkel gear, children’s beach toys, puzzles, games, two flat screen TVs, iron and ironing board and hair dryer.

Sleeping arrangements include a king-size bed in the oceanfront master bedroom and twin beds in the second bedroom. The living room couch is a queen-size hide-a-bed. The unit sleeps four persons privately (two in the master bedroom and two in the second bedroom) or six if you use the living room hide-a-bed. The master bedroom has it's own bathroom and the second bathroom is adjacent to the guest bedroom.

Resort amenities include free parking, elevator, a large swimming pool with loungers, deck chairs and tables, hot tub/spa, comfortable lobby with wireless Internet, oceanfront gas barbecues, oceanfront lounge chairs on the beach, numerous shallow lava tide pools with green sea turtles, Da Poke Shack (a very popular restaurant for poke), on-site security personnel in the evening, and convenience store (with alcohol sales) across the street. The resort does not allow smoking in any public areas and our unit is also non-smoking.

Responsive Host, Amazing Views and Amenities, O.K. Value.We stayed at the Kona Bai Kai condo for one week (fourth floor unit). We are frequent travelers. The positives:• An incredibly thorough and responsive host who provided myriad recommendations and responded quickly to a minor service request. • Amazing views from the master bedroom, living room, and lanai • Just a short drive to beaches, shopping, and restaurants • Lots of amenities – the condo has an exceptionally well-stocked kitchen, bathrooms, laundry, beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, etc. It’s clear past guests have contributed items via a “pass it on” mentality, which is nice. • Ample onsite parkingThe drawbacks• The AC only cools one small area of the condo. If you plan to use the bedroom with twin beds, the AC absolutely will not reach. We found that room, even with the front screen door and lanai screen doors open and multiple fans running, to be excessively hot at night. • The master bed is quite uncomfortable. Even the slightest movements can be felt by your partner. If you want exceptional views and nearly every amenity you could ask for, along with a responsive host, this is the place for you but don’t choose this condo because it has AC; it was frustratingly ineffective. Not everyone will find the condo comfortable. When it comes to value, we found this unit to be priced on the higher end of similar units. To us, the proximity to the water justified the higher cost.

Beautiful condo with a view to die for. We enjoyed our morning coffee overlooking tide pools and turtles. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner was wonderful to give us detailed information about restaurants and things to do while we were there. This was great to having being that it was the first time being on the big island. He was also available to us when needed, but things ran so smooth we never had to contact him. The parking was easy to access with the elevator not being far from the condo. We will definitely will be coming back.

FANTASTIC view! Plan to have some meals at sunset on the lanai. This was most well-stocked rental I’ve ever stayed in. Toiletries, kitchen supplies, etc.The second bedroom gets warm, but fans help bring the cool air into it if set up correctly. Water heater isn’t generous, need to plan showers if traveling with more than 2 people. Great location and parking easy peasy!Host is super responsive and helpful!

We have stayed in the Kona Bali Kai condos before,in different units,but this unit fell flat.The word “penthouse” sold us on booking this condo.Overall,it’s dated-furniture,cabinets,appliances,everything inside was dated.And it was so dark.Barely any light.Even with all the lights turned on,it felt dark.It could definitely use some upgrades.The floors were not the cleanest upon arrival.Sand & dead bugs in places when we arrived.Owner will have to take that up with the cleaning crew.Limited A/C to one small area of the condo.If you’re in the back room (by kitchen) you’ll bake.Only one set of towels & 2 rolls of TP in guest bathroom for a 10 night stay.Washing machine stinky.We had to go buy washing machine cleaner.Ran it through 3x and still stinky.Bed linens were flimsy & bed was on a cheap metal frame.I barely leaned against it & it slid across the floor.TV had a big slip cover over it.IDK if it was broke or just a heavy dust cover.Not sure.We didn’t even touch it just in case something was wrong with it.There’s a binder on the table with instructions to read it.Iskimmed.It’s sooooooo long.We are on vacation.We don’t want to read a book of rules.Also,would have been nice if we were notified of garage construction.That said,it did have all the amenities you would expect:dishes,toaster,coffee maker (although it could use a good cleaning),pots & pans,boogie boards,coolers,beach chairs.That was nice. And the view.Can’t beat the view.That’s why we like Bali Kai.
