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.

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!

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!

The condo has an AMAZING view and we enjoyed sitting on the lanai to watch surfers, sea turtles, fish, and the beautiful sunset. Mike is very responsive and addressed any questions/concerns we had immediately. The condo is very well equipped with everything you need: cooking utensils, spices, laundry detergent, beach equipment (chairs, umbrella, snorkel gears, boogie boards, coolers) and many many more. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends. Thanks Mike for sharing your lovely place with us.

The condo was in a great location. Central to just about anywhere you would need to go. Conversations with the host were instant if there was a problem.

Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would recommend Mike's place to friends and family. Mike is great at communication and very organized. The place was very well stocked. We really enjoyed using the boogie boards. We loved dinners on the balcony watching the sunset.
The only thing that could be improved was that one of the twin beds was worn out and squeaking badly.
Thanks.

If you’re looking for a comfortable, clean, well-appointed place to stay, look no further! This place has it all. From well-stocked cupboards to sharp knives, from soft towels to comfy beds - there’s nothing funky about this place. I’ve stayed in other units at Kona Bali Kai and this is one of the best. I don’t normally like to eat-in while I’m on vacation, but we enjoyed cooking fresh ahi every other night in this clean, well stocked kitchen. This place is a little gem and I hope it stays this way until I can come back again.

This place has a wonderful view right on the ocean. From the lanai, we saw morning surfers, several whales on the surface, and sea turtles lazing in the sun. The property is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable Hawaiian vacation. The property manager was very easy to communicate with and efficient. The property was very clean and updated. Parking was simple and restaurants were nearby. Mahalo

This condo has everything you could possibly need for a week in Paradise. The cabinets were well stocked with everything from seasonings, to coffee grinder, to tour books, to laundry supplies, etc., etc., etc.
And not to mention the view: UNBELIEVABLE! Every evening on the comfortable lanai, watching the sunset. And in the morning, you can watch the surfers.
We were a group of three women, and the fact the 2nd bedroom door wouldn’t close b/c the bed is too long, wasn’t a problem, nor would the open door be a problem for a family.
The location is ideal. It’s out of the tourists’ main stream, and there’s handy transportation into town. After touring around and being “in town”, this is a welcomed retreat at the end of a busy day. Very, very comfortable for “chillin’”. And the pool is a lovely addition.
I hope we can return! Thnx, Mike!
