Kona Oceanfront Penthouse Condo: Remodeled, AC, Crashing Waves, Sunsets, Turtles
About this condo rental
Situated in Holualoa, this lovely condo for $345 per night is a great option for your next trip. 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. Amenities include free in-unit password protected WiFi and internet access (500 Mbps download speed), full-size washer and dryer, coffee grinder, large and small ice chests, frozen ice packs, beach chairs, beach towels, beach mats, boogie boards, snorkel gear, children’s beach toys, pack ‘n play, popular board and table games, puzzles, 3 flat screen smart TVs, iron and ironing board, safe, and wall-mounted hair dryers.

Although we were six women and completely filled the space, we were very comfortable. Beds were fine, kitchen well stocked. The oceanfront lanai was amazing. Mike is a conscientious owner, responding immediately to any questions or concerns we had.

Spacious two bedroom condo with huge lanai. Well equipped and stocked. Plenty of power strip with USB charger which was very convenient.
Ceiling fan switch of the 2nd bedroom near the entrance was broken or we could not find anywhere so we could not turn it off when checking out. Overall great stay. Mahalo!

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 fantastic place! The location, the view, the condo were all wonderful!!!!! Thank you Mike for sharing, it’s a joy! I could sit on the lanai and look at the ocean forever. Hope to come back soon! Mahalo

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!
5.0
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 property is a true gem - well maintained and thoughtfully designed for comfort and luxury. The entire home is well-equipped. It is obvious that the owners had put a lot of care into making sure guests felt right at home.
Location is incredible.

Stayed here for a couple of nights at the end of our two week Hawaiian vacation. Could not get over the view of the sunsets and the sound of the ocean! Perfection!!! Would stay there again.
5.0
Loved this place. Right on the ocean, enjoyed dinner on the lanai every night to watch the sunset. Slept to the sound of the ocean waves, watched surfers. While no A/C was a little challenging for some of the hot days/evenings, the fans helped us sleep and it cooled off comfortably overnight. Instructions of the use of the facility was very clear and understandable. All the comforts and ease of home. I would highly recommend if staying in Kona.

You can’t beat the unobstructed ocean view! The property was very well stocked with beach and snorkeling gear, so nice to not have to worry about that! The house stayed cool with the doors open to catch the breeze. We really enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful location, beautiful inside, lanai was wonderful for watching the waves and seeing the sun set. Host was amazing. Would stay again.

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.

The property was exactly as posted. The owner was easy to work with throughout the process. Covered parking included in the rental fee. Would love to stay there again!

Fantastic location, great condo, excellent communication. We’d definitely stay here again! Only recommendation would be to fix or replace the entry door handle, opening the door with the key was a challenge. Otherwise, just terrific!
5.0
Mike and his wife are great hosts. They were attentive and helpful with all our questions.
You cannot be closer to the ocean unless you slept on a boat. The view is fantastic and the location is one of a well known surf area so you get to watch some great surfers.
The condo is spotless and kitchen is very well stocked.
We will stat here next time we are in Kona.....Excellent stay!!

We have stayed on this property before in other condos, but this one was the best! The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was super comfortable along with the furniture and you can’t beat the view! Would definitely come back!

Only had a few days but we really enjoyed our time at this property. It is exactly as described/shown. Don't let the outside of the property sway you (slightly older and some wear and tear); the unit itself is fully updated and beautiful, and those sunsets are amazing! The kitchen had all the essentials - we ended up cooking dinner every night there. The breeze through the lanai was great and we didn't mind the lack of AC. The front bedroom was a bit stuffy, but there are plenty of fans to cool things off. Mike's travel guides were so helpful - especially the different routes and stops along the way. I highly recommend this property for your Kona vacation!

Great ocean views, and well stocked kitchen. Nice space overall. Only downside was that the kids' room was small and noisy since the windows opened to the walkway and street.
5.0
We had a wonderful stay. It was perfection to go to sleep to the sound of the waves plus wake up and watch the surfers on the lanai. The unit had everything we needed during our stay and the communication was very good. Will definitely stay here again when we visit the island. Mahalo!

This unit was equipped with what we needed for our 4 day stay. We didn't realize there was no a/c and it was a little stuffy and warm when we arrived around 8 pm but there were several ceiling fans and stand alone fans, along with the open to ocean glass doors it did cool down somewhat. It was exceptionally warm temperatures while we were there. The beds were comfortable and Mike, the host was very accommodating in getting the two single beds together as well for our arrival. We had trouble getting the sliding glass door open and when I called it took all of 60 seconds for him to return my call! Service you can't beat. All in all it was a great place to stay.
5.0
Convenient location. The size and layout was very comfortable for our party of 4. You could easily fit 2 more people. The condo was equipped with all your needs They anticipated everything! We couldn’t have had a better view of the sunsets and ocean. We ran into an emergency and Mike the manager couldn’t have been more accommodating! I would highly recommend staying here!

We enjoyed our stay here! Gorgeous views of the ocean from the lanai. Excellent communication and tips for our stay from Mike (the owner). I would recommend this place if you are looking to stay anywhere near Kona.

Excellent location with great views of the ocean and a Poke Shack within the condo complex. Watch the surfers all day from a nice big balcony. The unit had everything you needed for nice and comfortable stay.
5.0
Mike’s place was a great place to stay. It was centrally located near downtown Kona.
They had all the amenities of home. Unlike some condo rentals that are kind of sterile, this place has all the comforts of home so that you don’t have to shop for every last little thing on vacation.
Having all the beach/snorkel equipment, coolers for day trips were super helpful.
Pool was great and you see people constantly maintaining the property.
Lastly,I would not worry about the lack of air-conditioning because it definitely cools off at night. You just need to leave the lanai doors open and know that the ocean makes a lot of white noise :) zzzzzzz
