Master bedroom great view but bathroom not really private. 2nd bedroom stuffy and very soft beds. Fantastic kitchen and view from living room. Balcony a little small but ok. Location was great. Needs a fan in 2nd bathroom. Could never dry off, so very hot in there. We did not use the free car but for some that would be the best perk of all. Also, kitchen came with leftover food and spices and stuff which was awesome. We left water and snacks. Hate it when people throw all that away. Good time but with a little work on the place and updating a little would be perfect but was still very good!

Beautiful view of the ocean and sunsets! Could hear the waves crashing all night which was so amazing. Extra bonus that the condo came with a car to use. Russ was super easy to get ahold of and also very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

Our group consisted of four adults from Wisconsin. The view out of the living room was amazing! You seriously can’t get any closer to the ocean without being in it. We spotted whales 4 different days of our stay! It was an amazing sight to see and free for the viewing. The surfers are out to entertain you at first light and continue on until dusk.Having use of a car was a true blessing and we definitely made use of it almost daily.If I were to vacation here again in Kona this would be my pick. I do wish there had been different chairs and a few more on the lanai. Also, a pizza cutter and casserole dish would’ve been helpful. We used the pool every day that we weren’t busy seeing the sights. It was never busy and most often we were the only ones using it. There are 4 beach towels available in the bathroom off the main bedroom to use. Beach chairs also.

You cannot get more 'ocean front' than this! This condo is unbelievable. Aside from the mind boggling view, this unit has a great floor plan, quality appliances, was immaculate, quiet and very comfortable. Russ is the most considerate host I have ever come across. He provided us with a detailed information sheet filled with restaurant/beach/activities recommendations. I recommend 10/10 and cannot wait to return.

Really fantastic view from the wall of windows facing the ocean! Easy to access, great location in Kona town. Bonus of having access to a car for our entire stay. Would highly recommend!

I don’t really know how to describe our stay besides wonderful. Our host was so helpful and did everything he could to make things easy. His property was gorgeous and the view was spectacular. We loved watching the surfers. He had everything you could think of including snorkel gear and chairs. We used the water cooler a ton. The car was a bonus that we learned to be the most valuable and easy thing ever. Thanks so much.

While planning this trip, my husband kept saying...Can you hear the waves from the condo? Needless to say, YOU CAN HEAR THE WAVES!!! Even with the doors and windows closed, you can hear the waves crashing on the beach!!!
The condo is very well-equipped. We went to the grocery store the first day and bought a few things for breakfast and it was great to get up in the morning, make breakfast and sit at the table watching the surfers or cruise ships go by.
Having the washer/dryer was a big plus for us because we were going to Honolulu after Kona for a few more days and this allowed us to pack fewer clothes for the rest of our trip.
Having the use of a car was such a bonus. Location of the condo is great for shopping/dining.
Our host, Russ was very responsive to any questions we may have had about anything.
To us, the only thing we wish that would have been better was the lanai. It was smaller than we had hoped for but of course, there's nothing that the owner could do about that. But sitting on the sofa looking out of the floor to ceiling windows made up for the small lanai.
Overall, it was a wonderful stay in Kona. Aloha to Hawaii for now. Mahalo Russ for sharing this wonderful place!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this Banyan Tree condo. It was hard to leave after a week of waking up to the ocean right outside our window. The surfers and boats were so close and fun to watch. The condo has a nice layout and provided plenty of room for our family of 4 which included 2 teenagers. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and it had plenty of everything we needed. The large washer and dryer made it easy to cleanup at the end of each day. The car was convenient and definitely an added perk! I would absolutely stay at this condo again. It has been my favorite so far!

This place was a fantastic property to stay. You couldn’t be closer to the water. The sounds of the oceans waves were constant and peaceful. Russ was a fantastic host. He was very responsive, flexible, and attentive to his guests. His property is well taken care of. Not to mention, rental cars in Hawaii can be expensive, if he allows you to rent his, do it. It will save you time and money. Highly recommend this property to anyone.
