This air-conditioned direct oceanfront unit on the 3rd floor (with elevator) overlooks a large lava tide pool that is frequented by turtles and colorful Hawaiian reef fish. The warm Kona surf laps directly below the lanai. While you lounge on the lanai, watch surfers tackle the 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 in your comfortable chairs. Enjoy the brilliant blue skies, 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 and shower with multiple shower heads, double sinks and contemporary tile work. The beautiful wood grain floor tile, 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.

Loved the view and relaxing on the deck. Fun to watch the surfers, see turtles, and awesome sunsets. The house had everything our family needed and was so comfortable. The pool was great after a long day out and you have the best poke place around right on property, Da Poke Shack.
Thank you, Mike, for sharing this little piece of paradise. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We live on the island and have stayed at numerous condos in different areas for decades. Most Alii Drive condos have cheap furniture and appliances , so this was a nice surprise in the tasteful and high end high quality furnishings the view and location are great. The unit was very clean and everything worked great. The downsides have nothing to do with the owner:unit.
The condo owner was responsive and polite. The photos and descriptions were accurate. The condo layout is a little strange and there is little privacy. The pool is super small. I would not choose this condo (or the complex generally) for anyone other than a couple or maybe a couple with s single child as it is so cramped.
A downstairs neighbor came up to rudely complain to us about furniture dragging at all hours which was actually happening at a unit above us. The pool was often unusable due to many children taking it over and splashing and bullying others.
The on-property management/security were rude and hostile but also didn’t seem to actually enforce any rules.

Wow! We couldn’t be any closer to the ocean. Great views from a great lanai.
Mike’s place had everything. It was one of the best equipped condos we’ve stayed in. We will definitely return.

Great rental. Nice wide lanai. Could wake up to the roar of the surf and see the shore while laying in bed. Numerous fans were provided to help with the air flow breeze. Bedding was quite comfy. Plenty of parking during out stay in mid-May. It was all very nice.

Nice central west location provided good access to the West side of the island and 1 hour and 45 minute drive to Hilo area. Loved being next to the water and seeing and hearing the waves crash on rocks below. Saw sea turtles, sea urchins, crabs and fish in the rocky ocean front. Condo had all we needed for cooking and going to the beach. Housed my crew of 6 well.

Loved the lanai overlooking tide pools, surfing, and whales! Central location for all we wanted to do- surfing, snorkeling, Kona center, and the best Poke place right at the complex. Well stocked for all our needs, and Mike provided abundant and detailed info for sightseeing, restaurants, condo info, etc. great vacation and we hope to come back!
Only minor surprise was only one couch in the living room. For a family of four this is one of the things I look for, the images show two, but it worked out fine.

Absolutely loved staying here with my husband and daughter. Easy access to everything- ocean, beaches, shopping, main highways, attractions, airport, etc. Property owner even put together a guide to local and far away attractions/restaurants that we utilized consistently.

This unit is every bit as beautiful as the listing shows. what the listing can't communicate is the sound of the waves crashing and how wonderful it is. Having the ocean in sight at all times was such a luxury. I saw a turtle from the balcony and others saw whales breaching from their balconies while we were there. We also enjoyed watching the surfers. There was a youth surfing competition while we were there which we could watch from the balcony. Mike also provided lots of information to help make the trip a success. You won't regret booking this vacation rental!

The place is very clean and easy to check in or out. The kitchen is full of supplies, which is amazing!
In the morning we enjoyed watching surfers in the ocean on our balcony. In the evening. it's a great place to see the sunset. Great place to stay!
Mike is a very responsible owner, always quick responses with quite a lot of useful information.
Thank you, Mike!!
