Oceanfront Condo Near Kona's Banyan Surf

Great pool and hot tub-condo faces mountain

Getting into the condo was easy with a door code. There was a printer there which I used to print the parking pass. I had printed one at home but it was buried in my luggage. The accomodation was comfy and exactly as expected. It is definitely dated but everything worked and there were nice touches, like boogie boards, beach chairs, and coolers. I think I even saw a snorkel set in there. The kitchen was well stocked, and there was plenty of bath towels, even beach towels. It was so well stocked we never needed to reach out to the owner for a thing. The location is on Ali’i drive, a couple miles from the busy tourist strip. The building is ocean front, but the room is facing the street. It is a very busy street within walking distance of many beaches. The beach directly in front of the building was nice to sit and watch the surfers and a couple of whales. The property has bbqs and chairs there. There was also a pool. It was a nice and comfortable stay.

Property very well equipped. It had everything I needed and more… the toaster didn’t work on arrival but it was replaced by a new one very promptly on the same day. Much appreciated. One small thing to mention - there were very tiny ants on the right side of the sink. I assume it is due to the tropics and as I was kept busy with the Ironman they didn’t bother me … all good! Thanks to Mark.

It was very clean and equipped. It is “ocean front” meaning ‘on the ocean’ but it is not ‘ocean view.’ Clarification would be appreciated. We were a bit disappointed.

good

Property was clean, well equipped.

Easy to get t all the things we wanted to do

This property was nicely located out of the busyness of downtown but close enough to venture in if needed. A little tricky to find the proper parking entrance the first time. All of that is secondary to the amazing nightly views of the sun setting and the morning coffee sunrise. If we are ever down that way again we will certainly try to score this place for lodging.

Our daughter and granddaughters stayed in this unit and we had another unit. They loved the architecture and the feel of the place....cozy and relaxing. Large lanai with table & 4 chairs, lounger, rocker. The two resident deck geckos were very entertaining. The sofa was super comfortable...the youngest granddaughter claimed it for her bed as soon as she saw it. Sun blinds on the lanai were greatly appreciated. Very noisy during the day. Just steps to the pool and the ocean. Loved the grass, sand and tidepools. Loungers and chairs provided down at the ocean. Condo has beach chairs, boogie boards, noodles, coolers, grocery bags. Kitchen well-stocked. Lots of towels, including beach towels. Wonderful to have a washer and dryer in the unit. Great value. Girls didn't want to leave! Thank you, Mark!

Great location.Very well equipped unit, especially beach gear. Very enjoyable stay.

This apartment for us perfectly. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, lots of towels and some basics like shampoo, conditioner, soaps, oil, spices etc etc. It’s in a good quiet building with a nice pool and ocean views. The apartment could definitely use a renovation but for the price, it was as expected. This is not high end, it’s cozy! All in all a great stay and the owner was great with communication. We will be back

Simple condo with all the amenities needed. The lanai was wonderful! The neighborhood was great. The proximity to the ocean was unbeatable.

As expected. Have stayed at the same property every time I visit the big island. Good location on the ocean side.
