Kona Oceanfront Penthouse Condo: Remodeled, AC, Crashing Waves, Sunsets, Turtles

Just added air conditioning on 4/10/24.

This desirable oceanfront penthouse unit (with elevator) features spacious open beam ceilings and is only 30 feet from the gentle surf lapping directly below the lanai, where 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 wood-grained tile lanai in your lounge chairs. 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 remodeled master bathroom and shower with multiple shower heads, double sinks and contemporary tile work. The beautiful wood-grained tile floors, 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 into the wall pocket 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.

Lovely condo
The condo is lovely and a great location. Next to the best poke on the island. Magic Sands Beach a mile away, shops and restaurants two miles the other direction. Well equipped kitchen, loved the oils and spices. Boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers available. Mike was great to deal with.

Spacious Condo! Clean and Safe!
Condo was as shown in the listing. Beautiful view and great location. The full-size Washer and Dryer was very nice! The view is great, you really can't get much closer to the ocean than this! Condo was clean and had everything you could need during your stay. Communication from the host was superb and we received several documents that helped plan our stay. They have a guest book that has tons of information about where to eat or what to do. I would most definitely stay here again!

Our trip to Kona
Loved the ocean view but the outside noise was awful. Also the living room furniture was different from the pictures we saw and even though there were three fans in the bedroom with the twin beds it was awfully hot. Other than that we enjoyed our stay but the building needs a lot of work

Ocean front Lanai with gorgeous views and plenty of space for family of 5.
We loved having a Lanai right on the ocean with beautiful views. Condo spacious, clean and comfortable. Location of condo was convenient for our day trips around the island. No A/C but didn't miss it. Host left instructions for keeping condo cool. With all the windows open we were to enjoy the soundtrack of crashing waves on the rocks below. I would recommend this condo.

Great Stay
This was the perfect vacation condo. The ocean breezes were so nice that we didn't even have to turn on the air conditioner, although we were glad we had that option. The condo had everything we needed. We loved using it as a base for our adventures or just sitting on the lanai and watching surfers, turtles, and even some fish. We would 100% stay here again if we had the chance.

Kona Escape
This condo was the best! It was well-equipped, spotless, spacious and had many charming touches. The location was perfect for our first visit to The Big Island. We were able to easily get to beaches, to town and grocery stores. The sunsets from thelanai were breathtaking and the sound of the waves were wonderful to fall asleep and wake up to. We all especially loved watching the surfers. Check-in was a breeze and the hosts left a very detailed guide to the condo and the island. We can't wait to come back!!

Awesome!
Location is amazing! Right on the water! Every morning we drank coffee and watched the surfers and yellow tang in the ocean. The little beach next door is convenient too! We used the propane grill at the complex and it was super clean. Parking and access to condo was easy. On the weekends there is a fruit market next door with amazing Hawaiian grown veggies/fruits/flowers. Host was very responsive and quick to resolve any issues!

Nice place, great views
This was a nice place while visiting the Kona side of the Big Island. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook in. New grills were being installed on the property while we were there. The best part is the balcony, the waves are right there. We ate breakfast every morning watching the surfers and every evening watching the sunset. The pool area looked nice even though we didn't use it. There is AC which is a must. Communication was very good. This isn't a fancy resort type of place but if you want a nice quiet place to stay this is it.

Loved the unit. It was clean and had everything you needed on your trip. Loved the games and puzzles for the kids to do at night. Lots of beach gear for those trips out boogie boarding, snorkeling, or just relaxing on the beach. Would certainly stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Spectacular Sunset in Kailua
We just returned from enjoying 5 days at this beautiful condo. We were looking for comfortable accommodations that would feel like a home away from home. We did not want a sprawling resort where it would take 10 minutes to get to our room, offer no parking and fake views. We traveled to Kailua for the Ocean and Authentic nature. This condo did not disappoint. We enjoyed watching the surfers and whales from the balcony and loved falling asleep at night with the breeze and sounds of the ocean. Mike thought of everything to make his guests comfortable. There is a great selection of beach supplies so you don't need to bring anything and everything is in great condition. Most condos are almost empty but this one has what you might need so you aren't forced to make a trip to Walmart every day for little necessities, (shampoo, bandaids, sunscreen, coffee, spices, etc.). The building itself is a little old but the condo unit itself is wonderful. After staying here, no other condo could compare. We couldn't have been happier and will definitely book again the next time we travel to Kailua.

Spacious two bedroom condo with huge lanai. Well equipped and stocked. Plenty of power strip with USB charger which was very convenient. Ceiling fan switch of the 2nd bedroom near the entrance was broken or we could not find anywhere so we could not turn it off when checking out. Overall great stay. Mahalo!

It's all about the ocean here, great sunsets
After a bit of a rocky start with check in that Mike took care of, our brief time here was really nice. It's all about the waves crashing right below the unit, that's the draw. Unit is nice, bed really comfortable. No A/C and I admit I somehow missed that when I booked so a bit of a shock but in reality you don't need it here. The off shore breeze going through the huge screened lanai keeps things cool. It's really just when getting out of the shower I missed the A/C. I believe many of the condos in this area are without. I would totally stay here again! Fun watching the surfers right there at the unit. Super close to many restaurants and points of interest.
