About this property

One of Kona’s Best Oceanfront Escapes – Surf, Sunsets & Beautifully Renewed

Welcome to one of Kona’s most memorable oceanfront escapes.

Kona Bali Kai 221 is a beautifully refreshed second-floor oceanfront condo where the sights and sounds of Hawaii begin right outside your lanai.

Wake up to the sound of the Pacific and enjoy a front-row view of Banyans, one of Kailua-Kona’s best-known local surf breaks. From the lanai, you can sit back with your morning coffee and watch surfers ride the waves just offshore. Sea turtles are sometimes seen swimming close to shore, and on a lucky day you may even spot dolphins farther out in the Pacific.

As afternoon turns to evening, the view becomes even more unforgettable. Enjoy dinner or a drink on the oceanfront lanai while watching the sun set over the water. After dark, relax to the sound of the waves and enjoy Kona’s beautiful night sky and stars.

Just below the condo is an oceanfront lawn with BBQ facilities overlooking the Pacific. It is a wonderful place to grill dinner while enjoying the ocean breeze, sunset and sound of the surf. Nearby shoreline and beach access make it easy to enjoy the coast, and the condo includes useful beach gear such as beach chairs, a cooler and other beach essentials.

Inside, Unit 221 has been thoughtfully refreshed to create a comfortable, relaxed island retreat. The open living and dining area leads directly toward the oceanfront lanai, keeping the ocean view at the heart of your stay.

The condo features:

• 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms

• California King bed in the primary bedroom

• Queen bed in the second bedroom

• Sofa bed for a fifth guest

• Full kitchen for cooking and dining at home

• Primary bathroom with shower

• Second bathroom with bathtub

• In-unit washer and dryer

• High-speed Wi-Fi

• Air conditioning serving the main living area and primary bedroom

• Oceanfront lanai with a dining table and seating

• Elevator access to the second floor, with stairs also available

The location is another reason this property is so special. You are directly on Ali‘i Drive, close to Kailua-Kona’s restaurants, beaches and attractions. Magic Sands Beach is nearby, and local favorites such as Da Poke Shack and Island Lava Java make it easy to enjoy great island food without traveling far.

Kona Bali Kai is also an excellent base for exploring the Big Island. Spend your days discovering Kona coffee country, dramatic volcanic landscapes, Mauna Kea, beautiful beaches and some of Hawaii’s most unforgettable scenery—then come home to the ocean.

But one of the best parts of staying in Unit 221 may be simply staying right here.

Have breakfast with the Pacific in front of you. Watch the surfers at Banyans. Look for turtles near the shoreline. Enjoy a sunset BBQ by the ocean. Have dinner on the lanai as the sky changes color. Then fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

From the spectacular oceanfront setting and unforgettable sunsets to the beautifully refreshed interior, this is the kind of Kona stay you may not want to leave—and the kind of place you may find yourself coming back to again and again.

We hope Unit 221 becomes one of those special

Breathtaking sunsets and ocean sounds

Don’t hesitate to book this property for your visit to the Big Island. We loved opening the sliding doors and listening to the sounds of the waves and taking in the amazing ocean views right outside the property. The location is close to many restaurants, beaches, and shops. It’s in a residential community that felt “homey.” Owner communicated well and quick. We hope to be back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Host profile image
I love Kona for its relaxed island atmosphere, beautiful ocean, unforgettable sunsets, and warm local spirit. As a host, I want guests to feel comfortable from the moment they arrive and enjoy the kind of stay I would choose for myself—clean, relaxing, easy, and memorable.

I’ve put a lot of care into making Unit 221 a place where you can slow down, listen to the waves, enjoy the lanai, and experience Kona at its best. My greatest compliment is when guests leave with wonderful memories—and already want to come back.

Why they chose this property

I chose this location because it brings together so much of what makes Kona special. Directly in front of the property is Banyans, one of Kailua-Kona’s best-known surf breaks. From the lanai, you can sit back and watch local surfers ride the waves while listening to the Pacific just below.

Sunsets here can be spectacular. Sea turtles are sometimes seen close to shore, and on a lucky day you may even spot dolphins farther offshore.

The location on Ali‘i Drive also makes exploring easy. Magic Sands Beach is nearby, along with local favorites such as Da Poke Shack, restaurants, coffee shops, and Kailua-Kona’s waterfront attractions. You can spend the day exploring the Big Island and come home to the waves and sunset.

What makes this property unique

What makes Unit 221 special is not just one thing—it’s the whole oceanfront experience.

From the private lanai, you have a front-row view of Banyans surf break. Start the morning watching surfers, spend the afternoon listening to the waves, and end the day with a Kona sunset right in front of you. Sea turtles may occasionally appear close to shore, and dolphins can sometimes be spotted farther out.

Just below the condo, the oceanfront lawn has BBQ facilities overlooking the Pacific—perfect for grilling dinner while enjoying the ocean breeze and sunset. Nearby shoreline and beach access make it easy to enjoy the water and the coast.

Inside, Unit 221 has been thoughtfully renewed for comfort while keeping its relaxed island character. It offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a California King in the primary bedroom, a Queen in the second bedroom, a sofa bed for an additional guest, a full kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, high-speed Wi-Fi, and air conditioning serving the main living area and primary bedroom.

The unit is on the second floor with both elevator and stair access.

But what guests may remember most is something harder to put into words: breakfast with the ocean in front of you, surfers riding Banyans, sunset dinner on the lanai, waves after dark, and a sky full of stars. It’s the kind of Kona stay you may not want to leave—and the kind of place you may find yourself coming back to again and again.
