Oceanfront Penthouse - AC, Crashing Waves, Spectacular Sunsets, Surfers, Turtles

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.

The master bedroom has it's own bathroom and the second bathroom is adjacent to the guest bedroom.

Wonderful location and accommodations peaceful.
There were five of us staying in the condo. It is very nicely furnished and equipped. We got off to a shaky start when the office was unexpectedly closed, so a wheelchair was not available. My husband has walking problems, but we managed to get him upstairs to the unit. Thankfully after a call to the owner, someone appeared with a wheelchair for our use the remainder of the stay. That was much appreciated. We spent hours on the lanai watching the tides and sunsets come and go. Our family enjoyed the many beaches and found several snorkeling and board surfing locations nearby. Also the town of Kailuea-Kona is 2 miles away where there was good shopping and eateries abound. Thank you to the owners for making this unit available for us to enjoy.

This location was close enough to the action but not down in the middle of traffic so we found that very valuable. The amenities of the condo where everything we could have wanted. Mike provided many things that we never would have thought of someone providing.

Everything as advertised
I walked In underwhelmed … don’t judge a book by its cover. Just came from the Hyatt regency In Maui, this was our second stay on a 3 island visit. Little did we know it was exactly what we needed and wanted. The ocean …every single night. I don’t know how I’ll ever top that seriously, of all the stays in all the cities this was phenomenal. Clean, we barbecued, we cooked we laundered, we tended to wounds, there was everything we could need and more than should be expected, grocery store minutes away!! Snorkeling, cooking, first aid, shampoo. It’s truly home away from home. Book it with zero regrets. I promise!! If we ever go back to Kona we will stay here again without hesitation

Nice stay
The best thing about staying here was being right by the ocean and hearing the waves crash. I also liked how comfortable the beds were and how nice the place was over all. I found that the kitchen was a good size as well. The only issue was that the pool was cold. Mike was a great host and very responsive

Great stay in Kona!
We really enjoyed this two bedroom condo. The unit was sparkling clean and well-stocked with anything we could have needed. The grounds are great and well maintained. Tide pools were fun to explore. Waves crashing and beautiful sunsets when we were “home”. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo

Amazing spot
Just a lovely spot - ocean waves and breezes, views of surfers and dolphins in the morning, all the amenities (thank you for beach chairs and snorkeling gear). Nice 40 min walk into town, Da Poke on site (amazing Poke), and easy parking - truly one of favorite spots we have stayed.

Great location & perfectly appointed
We stayed for a quick visit with our kids in October and really enjoyed the location. The little beach at the corner of the property was great for poking around tide pools and watching the surfers. This place has everything we needed for trips to the beach and coming and going to Kailua town for food and fun.

Great spot for family vacation
We had a great time in this apartment. It has everything you need. Kitchen well stocked, beach and snorkeling supplies, a well functioning AC (was pretty hot and sticky when we were there) and more. The grounds are well maintained and there a great poke place on site. Mike provided me with a ton of information about the property and the area, and was very responsive to all of my inquiries.

Stocked with everything you need!
This condo was absolutely amazing! A beautiful spot right on the water, hearing the ocean waves crashing in! The apartment has absolutely everything you need, from personal amenities to beach and snorkeling gear. The drive to nearby beaches and to the restaurants on Ali'i drive are both easy. Mike was responsive when I called with a question, communication was easy. The only downside is the bedroom in the front of the apartment gets a bit warm, the AC unit and the doors to the lanai are both in the back of the apartment so don't cool the front bedroom as easily. Would happily recommend to anyone looking to stay in Kona!

Paradise in Paradise
This property has EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING. I am a frequent VRBO traveler and this is by far the best property that I have stayed. Everything described in the listing and pictures was 100% accurate. The communication with the owner Mike was next level. he was proactive, helpful and I felt a genuine effort by him to ensure we had the best possible stay. The written materials and communication he provided was off the hook: multiple suggested itineraries, best places to eat, locations of things to do broken down by mileage and time from condo, directions, checkin process, and a complete "bible" in the condo of literally all the amenities, appliances and "how tos". The property was immaculately clean, fresh and inviting. The kitchen had every gadget one would need. The location is amazing. We sat out on the balcony every morning watching 4-6 surfers. You are so close to the ocean that even with the doors closed you can loudly hear the waves. The condo is about a 5-10 minutes drive into Kailua. About a 30 minute walk. Parking is readily available but it will cost you - about $10/hour in most public lots. We took an Uber once, which was actually sketch do to the driver. On the return trip, we had a better driver, but she informed us that there were only like 10 Uber drivers, not sure if that was true but it did take some time to get linked with a driver on the app. On a scale of 1-10 this property/owner are an easy 10+. I'd write more but I'm limited by space.

The apartment itself was very nice and well maintained. But the absolute star of this place is the view. It is right on the ocean and you can just sit on the lanai and watch the surfers, sea turtles and waves forever! Mike was excellent to deal with. He even gave a detailed itinerary of things to do, which was very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate renting it again!
