Penthouse Oceanfront Condo with AC and Fabulous Views #407

We had a great stay. I will say that for us, the first night was very warm. We arrived late in the evening so the air conditioning didn’t have time to cool things down for us. We ended up buying a bigger fan for use. There are a couple smaller ones in the unit. We appreciated the cooler, beach towels and other beach amenities! Loved watching the surfers each morning right off the balcony. There was great snorkel a few miles down the road at Kahalu’u Beach Park!

The view from the large lanai is spectacular!! You are right on the ocean. The condo is well stocked with everything you need for a fun vacation. Bob was very accommodating and responded immediately to any inquiries. Aloha!

This view is everything!! Every review I read talked about the view and for good reason. The condo is great. Plenty of towels and anything else you could possibly need. The location is great, Its close to so many things (food, beaches) but far enough away from crowds to be peaceful. Having a washer/ dryer in the unit was a game changer. Bob left a notebook in the condo filled with a ton of helpful information about fun stuff to do and good food and happy hour deals. We ate out a lot (try Huggos!!) but also cooked on the grills downstairs. It was the cleanest grill I have ever cooked on! The maintenance crew cleans them every single day. The complex is really nice. We didnt use the pool, but it was pretty and well maintained. The lobby area is really pretty too. Every person we encountered there was pleasant. Its walking distance to the Marketplace which was fun to visit. We were there 7 day and they flew by. Even my daughter (who doesn't sleep well in unfamiliar places, slept like an angel. There is plenty fo space for a family of 4 in the condo and on the lanai. Overall, We loved everything about our stay. We would LOVE to stay again if we ever come back to beautiful Kona.

Easy covered parking, great location close to town, gorgeous ocean view, host very responsive, condo was clean & well-equipped - we really enjoyed our stay!

It was great to have all the necessities at the VRBO. Nice to have a coffee pot and a washer and dryer. Really loved watching the surfers every day sitting on the lanai!

The view was better than I imagined!! The sunsets were perfection!! Condo was well appointed and in a perfect spot! We had a amazing trip. If we were any closer to the water we would’ve been it.

Great view! Access to breach items to enjoy your stay. Because of the time of year saw Humpback whales from the lanai. Sea turtles and tropical fish also spotted in the waters below. Bob not only told us how we could save money prior to our arrival but immediately responded to my message sent through Vrbo. Would definitely try to stay at this place the next time we are visiting Kona.

We had a wonderful 8 night stay in December 2025. The condo was well-maintained, well-equipped and very comfortable with plenty of space for our family of 4. With the top-floor location right on the water the view from the Lanai really is stunning: the sunset was beautiful every single day, and in the mornings we enjoyed looking out for whales and leaping spinner dolphins - and were lucky enough to spot some. We also loved being able to leave the lanai doors ajar to keep the unit cool - we found we never needed the A/C! - and to hear the impressive sound of the ocean. The location is car-dependent but there are plenty of options for groceries and dining within a short driving distance and parking is plentiful, spacious and covered. Bob was an excellent host, providing clear and timely communication and making our stay 100% issue free. Definitely a 5 star find.

Ocean front and very convenient parking made the stay easy. Well outfitted with beach materials including facemask and fins.

Host was very easy to work with….good communication. The accommodations were exactly as advertised and were spectacular. Would definitely book there again.

Absolutely amazing views!! This location is ideal as it’s close to the major restaurants and shops, but far enough away that you can enjoy the amazing ocean sounds. Bob was very responsive and provided everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Wonderful stay on the Big Island! Condo is beautiful with breathtaking views! Exactly as pictured! Easy check in! We will be back!

Outstanding views at a great location. We were able to prepare and eat our meals at the condo. We enjoyed much needed family time with our adult children.

Everything about our stay went well - communication with Bob was on time and very helpful. Condo was clean and very well equipped for travelers with items like beach towels and snorkel gear. Location was perfect - a few blocks away from all of the hustle and bustle of downtown Kona but minutes from boat launches for snorkeling. We loved the quietness and the views from the lanai were great - nothing beats breakfast watching local surfers and stunning sunsets!

This condo really is great. It has everything you could want. We tend to cook a lot when we stay in a rental and we found everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen. The bed was comfortable and I love the ceiling fans. We ate every meal on the lanai and that was our go to place in the mornings and evenings. The condo is exactly 2 miles from the Coconut Grove Market, and only a 1/2 mile from the Ali'i Marketplace. I ran and walked down Ali'i Road daily for one reason or another. On-site parking and laundry in the unit are also big pluses! Bob was wonderful to deal with and very responsive. The only negative for me was the bathmats. Please invest in some new ones. I couldn't tell if they really hadn't been washed or are well used and stained. This is easily fixable though and would not preclude me from recommending this great place. We had an issue getting in (which apparently was user error on our part). We didn't realize that you turn the key and push the door open at the same time, so Bob came and rescued us so we could get in. Once that mystery was solved, everything was great. Hopefully that pro-tip saves you the call.

the unit showed a lack of normal maintenance and needed several repairs the unit was overvalued based on other upgraded units we've stayed in at Kona Bali kai

Loved our stay in this condo! It was very comfortable and well stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The view from the lanai was awesome and I spent every morning enjoying it while eating my breakfast! You are right on top of the ocean! The location is fantastic with restaurants, grocery stores and shops nearby. It was centrally located on the island so all points of interest were never more the 2 hours away! Bob, the owner, was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. I highly recommend this condo and would stay there again!

Bob's place was awesome. Close to town, great beach access, and beautiful sunsets!

Our family (including sons 16 and 20) spent a week here. It was close to everything and a really great base of operations (you can get anywhere on the big island within 2 hours). The view from the lanai was incredible - we spent a lot of time sitting out there, reading and watching the surfers. Loved the kitchen - better stocked than any others I have stayed in. Everything was clean and easily accessible. It was very quiet, even though there seemed to be plenty of people staying there. Bob is great - very timely in his response to email. Definitely recommend!

Fabulous view of the ocean. Could sit all day and watch surfers and the wildlife in the rock pools on the seashore. Apt is well stocked with everything you’d need, from snorkeling gear, beach stuff and little things left over from other tourists like sunblock, after sun etc. There were family board games and an old binder full of info of places of interest to visit and good eateries. The host was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions that I had. Definitely recommend, would stay again if I were to come back to the Big Island.

New place and beautiful view of ocean and sunsets.

Bob our host was excellent! He went above and beyond for us to make sure our stay was comfortable. The ocean view was spectacular! Highly recommend this condo.
