NEW to the Vacation Rental Market | Kona Makai 5-101 as of January 2026!
Ground Floor Corner Retreat , Massive Wraparound Lanai ,Incredible Ocean Views
Welcome to Kona Makai 5-101, a brand-new offering to the vacation rental market—and one that truly makes a first impression.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel it: this isn’t your typical 1-bedroom condo.
Perfectly positioned as a ground-floor corner unit, this home lives more like a private oceanfront villa—where indoor comfort blends seamlessly into open-air island living. Step inside and you’re immediately greeted by fresh coastal style, a fully remodeled interior, and the kind of views that make you pause mid-step.
And then… the lanai.
This condo features a massive 449 sq ft wraparound lanai, giving you front-row seats to the Pacific from multiple angles—whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee, an afternoon breeze, or a sunset dinner as the sky turns gold over the water.
Even better? You get the space of a 2-bedroom home.
With 1,041 sq ft of interior living, this residence is as large as many 2 bed / 2 bath units, with the only difference being that one bedroom is intentionally locked off as a private owner’s closet—meaning guests enjoy an exceptionally spacious “oversized one-bedroom” layout with room to breathe and relax.
With two full bathrooms, there’s extra comfort and convenience—ideal for couples who love space, friends traveling together, or anyone who appreciates not feeling cramped on vacation.
Inside, everything is beautifully refreshed
This unit has been fully remodeled and thoughtfully designed to feel modern, clean, and absolutely stunning—the kind of space you’re excited to come home to after a beach day, snorkeling adventure, or night out in Kailua-Kona.
