This was our second stay at Banyan tree 200! We love everything about this home and are looking forward to returning next year. The view from the home is amazing, right on the water. Every morning and evening we watched surfers , listened to the rhythmic crashing of the waves, watched crabs scale the stone wall and viewed the spectacular sunsets, what more could you ask for ? The location is excellent , I walked every morning past Magic Sands and Kahalu"u beaches with the smell of plumeria filling the air. Tracy and the owners are great. I won't stay anywhere else.
Lovely two bedroom space perfect for 2 adult couples. The view was incredible! The wrap around lanai was perfect! The sound of the waves lulled us to peacefulness and the tv was never on! The beds were very comfortable and there are labels around the place that guide you to switches and various comforts of home. The management property provides you with a small kitchen pack that has dish and laundry soap. There's also a small box for the bathrooms with various soaps and such.The building, like most places on the island is dated. It was built in the 1970s. But the owners of the condo have put some work into updating the space. It's clean and bright with good lighting. The beds were comfy and the furniture was nice too. The 2 chairs look out through the big picture window and it's perfect!Towels, beach towels, trash bags, beach chairs, and even some coffee and various spices are at your disposal. There's also a small hose on the lanai for rinsing off shoes and sanding things. Parking included. The place was very, very nice! It met our expectations. It was very conveniently located to everywhere we wanted to be too. I was very happy with the space and would love to come back.
Wonderful ocean-front location. Great accommodations. Tracy at the property office provided wonderful support. 5-Star-Plus
Good location and great view. The kitchen is well supplied and the beds were comfortable. The hot tub was drained twice when we went to use itThe master bath has some staining in the tub and poor quality repairs. A couple of kitchen tiles are cracked. Some less obvious areas were quite dusty, lamps, light fixtures, etc. It was a decent stay overall but I wouldn't stay here again.
I truly enjoyed my staycation to recharge my energy. Super clean unit and so grateful for the thoughtful amenity items in the kitchen and bathroom. I felt so much aloha from management company. I surfed every morning in front this unit. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. I will come back!
Great condo on the water. The lanai and living spaces are bright and have amazing views. It is fun to watch the surfers and whales far in the distance.
I would have liked to see the carpet replaced with a solid surface and have a couple extra pillow cases.
Great stay!
Banyon Tree 200 has an extraordinary view that we enjoyed very much. The facility was clean and comfortable. HOWEVER, BE AWARE.........the central part of the condo is elevated. So, there is a sunjen living room area WITH STEPS and the bedroom area is also sunken WITH STEPS. Not sure why....very unusual. Although there are not a lot of steps, they can be an issue for those with mobility or vision issues. We have both and we were really very mindful of navigating these two areas our entire time. We loved the wrap-around lanai and used the area quite a bit. Also, be aware that you are right next to a small park. Most of the time that was not an issue, but at some times the marijuana and noise was quite pronounced. The great thing, however, is that the unit has some air-conditioning (living area and guest bedroom) so we often closed our windows and sliding doors. The kitchen has more spices than I have in my spice drawer! Again, the pluses outnumbered the minuses for sure!
This was an excellent condo for me and my elderly parents. We spent hours enjoying watching the waves and surfers from the living room chairs and couch. The location made us feel as if we were near the action as the adjacent beach was heavily used by locals and tourists. The amenities were great, the condo was clean, and the contacts at Kona Beach Properties were very responsive.
This Kailua-Kona condo has breathtaking ocean views with surfers at the crack of dawn and at sun down. Views were truly worth a million dollars. Location - just minutes from the main strip, with easy access to shopping & dining.
While the condo is somewhat dated & presents an incredible opportunity for some renovations, but the stunning views can make up for the areas that are lacking within the condo. The bldg grounds were well kept and also had stunning views by the pool.
Beautiful condo with fantastic view of ocean.
Very nice condo. Spectacular views. Responsive owner. Well stocked kitchen and bedding, although we could have used a working can opener and a soup ladle. The market across the street would have been nice, but it was closed for repairs (with no notice). The hot tub appeared to be closed, but we never got around to calling the owner to ask. It was a joy to watch the surfers out the huge picture window.
Having stayed in September the condo complex was less busy which was nice and really quiet.
The condo is located right on the ocean! The wrap around lanai has a counter top bar and chairs which allows you to enjoy your morning coffee/breakfast and watch the surfers all day. We enjoyed many suppers and watch the sunset from this area as well.
The condo has a/c in main area, but we didn't use much. There are two sliding doors and you can get a nice breeze going through. Second bedroom also has a/c which was also seldomly used.
Kitchen has everything you need to cook easy meals and prepare quick lunches/snacks for the day.
Da Poke Shack is 100 yards down the road and is awesome!!!
Magic Sands beach is about 0.9 miles down the road and a nice 15 min walk. There is free parking across the road if you want to load up your vehicle.
Pool and hot tub were good and bbq's onsite were cleaned daily.
The only small disappointment was a boogie board was not provided (purchased one and left for future guests) and some of the beach chairs were not in good working order. However, we were able to use two of the chairs and the umbrellas.
Overall, we were very happy with this condo and would definitely recommend as a rental property to consider!!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this condo!
The listing for this property is spot on!! The location is fantastic and the views from the living room and lanai are spectacular. We were exhausted when we arrived and were allowed to check in an hour early. As we entered the unit, Hawaiian music was playing on the tv and the view greeted us instantly. We all sat listening to the music and watching the waves until bed. Definitely would come back!!!
I booked based on the view which did not disappoint. Loved watching the surfers everyday and the sunset! Quiet too. Good location for making day trips all over the island. Plus the unit has everything, towels, chairs, cooler and snorkel gear.
Outside of luck of A/C in the master bedroom (which we missed in the description - our fault) great place, great location, wonderful view
We had a very enjoyable vacation staying in this condo. Our free time was spent watching the surfers , golfing and spending time with our friends. Our plans are to return to this very clean and well managed condo again soon so that we will be able to share our experiences with family and friends.
We enjoyed our stay. We do think that the interior needs a bit of updating, but the appliances and television were outstanding. In addition, the kitchen was well stocked. The outdoor spa needs to be cleaned more frequently[HOA issue]. Loved the "welcome kits" that greeted us when we arrived. All and all a very good place for a relaxing Kona vacation!
The view of the ocean and watching the surfing was mesmorizing and something that we looked forward to each day! Also the small beach next door was quiet and peaceful.
We really enjoyed our time together. The view of the surfers in the morning was magical and the sunsets were beautiful. The condo had everything we needed!
We all really enjoyed our stay. The condo was perfect for us and we would absolutely recommend it! So fun to watch the surfers and we enjoyed the little beach next door
We loved the view and having surfers to watch. Room had everything we needed. Only disappointing item was the hot tub. It is too small for a resort this size and the heater didn't work correctly. Also, several of the jets don't work. Pool was nice and refreshing. We'll always remember sitting on the lanai and watching the ocean. We're already talking about visiting this place in the future.

Large well appointed 2 bedroom condo with fantastic ocean views. Really enjoyed the views of waves and surfers through the living room window. Also, a great location to explore the Big Island from. Stayed two weeks March 2024.
We were thrilled by the amazing VRBO rental. It is in a perfect location over looking the ocean. We had a front row seat of world class surfers, whales and jaw dropping sunsets. Every amenity is available. It is well organized and clean. The management crew was prompt with a small problem with the garbage disposal. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the casual public beach right next door!
Beautiful place to wake up to every morning and enjoy the spectacular views and return to after a busy day to breath taking sunsets! There was one maintenance problem with a broken garbage disposal and outlet.
We loved our week stay. The view is incredible. We would go out to eat early so that we could be back "home" on our lanai for the amazing sunsets. We had the patio doors open (screens closed) most of the time and enjoyed hearing the waves crashing and the lovely cross breeze. We didn't need to use the air conditioning once. It was fun to watch the surfers out front and they go from sunrise to sunset. The condo is comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the pool a couple of times. We hope to be back soon.
The views from the balcony and living window were amazing. Watched the sunset, saw whales and turtles and of course the daily surfers. Unit was well equipped with beach items. Kitchen was well appointed as well. Would definitely consider returning to this Unit
We really loved staying here. It has all the amenities listed and was very clean. The entire property is well maintained and secure. If you want to sit on the lanai and watch whales, surfers and sunsets book now! We will be back soon!
This was a beautiful property, nicely updated and well equipped with anything we needed (maybe mention on the site that the beach chairs are in the bedroom closet). The view can't be beat!! Hands down, the nicest VRBO we have stayed at.
Loved the place... very well stocked and accommodating.
We were not sure where to park. The listing should note, reserved space #1!
Thanks for a relaxing place to watch and listen to the waves!
