Hawaii> Kailua-Kona
- 2 bedroom
- 2 bathroom
- Sleeps 6
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.

What can I say, everything was amazing. Clean, well stocked, and of course the view. We have stayed at this property before, in a different unit. Unit 405 has set a new standard for us!!!
We hope to be back again.

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.

What a wonderful place to stay at. This isn’t like any other rental it feels like you are renting Mike’s personal residence with great decor, island recommendations and tips, along with some books about the island. The condo is well appointed, has comfortable beds along with a variety of items that you likely wouldn’t want to go buy for a short trip. Mike appropriately mentions there is no AC, which at first is a shock when you walk into the condo but after opening the sliding lanai doors, turning on fans, and opening the windows the breeze begins to help. Also love that the condo has a front screen door to allow extra airflow. The condo has a variety of beach toys which were great to use at the beach just down the street. Never used the kitchen but it had most anything you could need. Would definitely stay here again and enjoy the waves and sunsets from the lanai. Only issue we had during our trip was the elevator broke down one afternoon and was still getting serviced the following day, this is out of the host’s control. Would love to stay here again.

A stones throw from the ocean, awesome views of sunsets, surfers, turtles... you couldnt ask for more. The owners put careful thought into providing everything you would need, including things you didnt know you needed. Mike responded very quickly to any question we had. Having stayed at resorts for decades in HI, this condo was everything we were looking for and more. The kitchen and grills allowed us the option of making our own gourmet meals and happy hours, and if you add free parking, it blows away resort vacations. We will definitely be back!

This is an excellent rental choice. The unit is as good as advertised, and the view is even better. The check in process and communication was very efficient. A few others have mentioned this fact but it bears repeating that, like most condos in Hawaii, this unit does not have AC. While opening the sliding doors helps (and listening to the waves hit the shore), I did have some trouble sleeping at night because I was used to a cooler room temperature at home. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and highly recommend this rental home.

This condo is the best place I’ve stayed at in Hawaii! Very clean, comfortable beds, and well stocked with all the necessities. They went the extra mile to make the guests comfortable. The closeness of the property to the water can’t be beat and is exactly what I looked for when staying in Hawaii. We slept listening to the sound of waves and woke up watching the surfers and fishes on water. We also saw turtles feeding off the rocks on our first day! Overall this place is perfect! Plentiful parking space is a bonus! Will stay here again and recommend to friends!

My family and I enjoyed our 9 night stay. It was clean, comfortable and the view cant be beat! Mike (the host) called us shortly after arrival to check to make sure we had gotten checked in ok. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend!

This is a nice little spot with its own small beach and grassy area, not far from shopping and restaurants. This is NOT close to the resort area, though. It’s a completely different vibe, so be sure this is what you’re after. The apartment is fully stocked and cools off nicely (it’ll be hot when you walk in- just turn on fans, open the balcony door, and give it a minute). Heads up though- the door knob/lock is still broken (mentioned in a review from a few weeks ago) and it is an absolute beast to finagle. And the kids’ room is less than ideal. But for the money, you’re getting a great place.
