My husband and I chose the Big Island to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We wanted it to be special so we wanted a true oceanfront condo that would be really nice and comfortable. We made the right decision by renting this condo. The pictures are accurate, the location was perfect. The kitchen was very well stocked with all types of cookware and spices. There was an abundance of linens also beach chairs and portable cooler. The manager Holly was very easy to work with and gave us great advice on island activities and dining. She is so thoughtful, she had a bottle of champagne chilling as she knew we were celebrating our anniversary! Big Island has great places to snorkel and the Sunset/Manta Ray dive was a experience of a lifetime. The volcano is a must do trip too.

We had a lovely week in Hawaii. I chose your condo from the pictures and reviews on HomeAway.com and we were not disappointed. The bed was quite comfortable and the condo was so well stocked. We cooked in most nights so that we could enjoy the gorgeous sunsets and listen to the crashing waves off of the lanai. I loved watching a sea turtle in the tidal pool below us. Thank you, Holly, for making our stay so wonderful.

My husband and I took a month-long trip to Hawaii in December 2011 and one of our stops was Holly's condo in Kona Bali Kai. This is an incredible spot if you are looking for great accomodations right on the ocean. The condo was fully equipped, tastefully decorated and had all the comforts of home, plus those extras you need for a day on the beach. If you don't want to leave the condo, there is a small beach right out front of the complex complete with loungers. This is a beautiful spot for a beach vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

My Husband and I stayed 8 nights in this AMAZING condo. We felt like royalty! Holly was so nice and accomodating from the very beginning. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, there was everything we could think of or need. The staff at Kona Bali Kai was very nice and we enjoyed the inside of our condo as much as the outside, from the pool, little deli, grill, to the breath taking view of the ocean. We have memories to last a lifetime. Thank you Holly for creating a heavenly place. Our first trip to Hawaii was just what the doctor ordered. Kevin & Devon :)

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Kona Bali Kai condo unit 416. It truly felt like 'home away from home'! The view from the balcony is outstanding. It was perfect for what we were looking for in a vacation condo. It was very peaceful and we really felt we were on vacation on an island! We would definitely return again! Thanks for everything Holly, Ashleigh & Rene

The name of this condo should be called "Romantic Luxury Condo on the Beach". The photos did no justice for this condo. We stayed the week of April 6th, and from the second we walked in, we knew we belonged. The property was Very clean and it had all the amenities and necessities you could ever need, we truly felt at home. The owner Holly, provided with all the information we needed to make our stay in Hawaii, very memorable. The most exciting part of my stay was that my Boyfriend proposed to me on the lanai. Thank you for making our stay so special and we look forward to coming back for our 1 year wedding anniversary.

My wife and I spent 4 nights here in late February 2011 and loved every minute. The unit is every bit as nice as the pictures make it look. The kitchen was well equipped and the bed was super comfortable. When we were not out and about we spent most of our time on the large lanai watching and listening to the surf. While poking around on the oceanfront lava the first day we counted 11 turtles in the shallows, some just a foot or two away. Another thing I REALLY liked about this unit is this...almost all of the other units had a window on the walkway side and the front door was aligned to allow visibilty into the living area if either was open. This unit does not have the window (which is fine, there is no view to miss) and the door is offset. So If you have the door open for air flow, passersby can't see into the living area. They see a utility closet door. You have ultimate privacy. I am not sure when we will visit the Big Island next because we like to mix it up, but we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

416 Ali'i condo was the best! Beautifully furnished and the view is to die for. Did a ton of exploring on the island, driving more that 500 miles, but coming home to this pristine abode each day may have been the highlight. Lanai has the prefect view. Bed is the most comfortable that I have slept in in years. Wood and tile is gorgeous. Will visit again for sure. Spend the the few extra bucks folks, it is well worth it.

We really enjoyed sitting on the lanai watching the turtles in the mornings as the sun came up. Also, Holly and Robin you were very easy to work with as well which is a real plus.

We absolutely loved the condo at Kona Bali Kai. All the comforts of home and then some! We have stayed at many VRBO homes in the past. Holly's is by far the cleanest and most well-appointed of them all! You will love the lanai and the sunsets!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kona Bali Kai. The condo was beautifully furnished, equipped and decorated. Everything we needed to enjoy our stay, including snorkeling gear, coolers and beach chairs, was here. We felt like we were at home. Sunset cocktails on the lanai were awesome. We appreciate Holly’s help in arranging our stay. She was very accommodating. We can’t wait to come back. Al and Cheryl Flynn (San Marcos, CA)

My son and I vacationed there 19 years ago with my mother. My mother and son loved it so much, we had plans to return the following fall, however, my mother died and we were anable to make it. Before my son went to Iraq 4 yrs ago, he requested we go there agian for the memories. Kona Bali Kai has always been comforting, welcoming and hospitible. I hope to visit you again soon. You have filled my life with loving memories.

The condo was fantastic. Every amenity was provided for from the dishes to beach chairs and even snorkel gear! The view from the floor to ceiling windows was breathtaking and falling asleep to the sound of the sea in the large ocean front bedroom was heaven. This condo was inviting, comfortable and truly a home away from home.

Your condo was wonderful! Great view and location, beautiful decor and all the comforts of home. The floor to ceiling windows/screens overlooking the ocean and falling asleep to the sound of the surf were highlights. I wish we had been able to stay longer! The Keei Cafe was also wonderful. Thank you!

We truly enjoyed ourselves in your 4 star Condo (especially the kitchen and bathroom). The view was perfect, there was always something to attract your attention and the sunsets were as ordered. We have been telling everyone how wonderful your unit was.

We had a great time in your condo. I can't imagine a nicer and more luxurious condo and a better location. Staying here was like staying at someone's home in that you've furnished it like you a homeowner. The views are sensational and the sounds of the surf magical. We only managed to see two gorgeous sunsets from your lanai but the sure were pretty. I can't recommend your condo highly enough. Thanks again!!!

Holly: Sorry I didn't post this earlier, I have been in a rain and cold induced depression since returning to Seattle. Your condo was absolutely perfect for us. The view and the sounds of the pounding surf are wonderful, and the condo is tasteful and comfortable. The location was ideal for our day trips as well as visiting "downtown" Kona. We look forwar to hopefully spending time there again in the future. Thanks again, John and Merilee

Our vacation in Kona was wonderful. Thank you for having such a lovely, well equiped condo. The view, the location, the surf and the comforts of home made our time in Hawaii exceptional. We look forward to another visit soon.
