Oceanfront Penthouse - AC, Crashing Waves, Spectacular Sunsets, Surfers, Turtles
About this condo rental
Nestled in Holualoa, this charming condo for $345 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. This spectacular air-conditioned oceanfront penthouse condo features spacious open beam ceilings and is only 25 feet from the surf crashing on the lava rocks directly below the lanai. Watch 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 lanai. 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 master bathroom, walk-in shower and contemporary tile work. The beautiful tile floors throughout, 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 aside 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.

This unit is well cared for and in a beautiful location. The lanai is fabulous - the view is incredible! When the listing says "crashing waves" they are not kidding. You are right at water's edge looking down at the tidepools and hearing the waves.
The owners have thoughtfully provided all that you need for your stay - maps and guides, beach towels, umbrellas, and snorkel gear as well.
We would definitely book this unit again.

Our family of 4 spent a wonderful week in the Kona Bali Kai condo. Incredible location close to beaches, shops, restaurants and tours in the area. Mike’s condo is equipped with everything you need to enjoy the best of Kona. Beautiful views of the ocean activities during the day, gorgeous evening sunsets and sleeping to the sound of the waves. Great vacation!

Just as advertised. The provided gear for water play was so appreciated, and the kitchen was well stocked with spices and basics. Whales, dolphins, and turtles seen from the lanai made our mornings so enjoyable!

Everything you need in the kitchen, bathrooms and to take to the beach. The view from the lanai is great. Beautiful sunsets.
5.0
Very quiet property except for the sound of the waves. So relaxing. We watched the surfers every day from the deck. Very nice kitchen and loaded with all the cooking and eating utensils you’d need. Master bedroom had very comfortable bed. Cable tv and smart tv with your passwords. Ample Parking and great under cover. Condo convenient to grocery stores and restaurants yet quieter than being downtown. Owner good communication. Condo pool not heated and was pretty cold in the mornings. I assume it heated up toward late afternoon. Condo has lots of beach, snorkeling, and flotation equipment. Condo had everything for staying extended time. Could have used more bathroom towels. We had to wash towels more than we wanted. We would definitely stay here again. It was worth the money.

What an amazing spot. Crashing waves and the best views ever. House is really nicely stocked. We’re ready to go back already :)

We absolutely loved our stay at Mike’s condo. The lanai looks out on surfers and those gorgeous Kona sunsets, and you can watch the turtles right from the balcony. The condo is about 2.5 miles from town, so not walkable, but easily accessible by car. The AC works great; kept the place cool during some rather warm days. We would definitely stay here again.

Very convenient and comfortable condo that lives up to the listing. Right on the water, and the surf sounds were nature's back drop; the lanai was our favorite spot. Well stocked kitchen with all you need to cook your meals. Full sized washer and drier were very appreciated. Easy and responsive communication from owner. We can't wait to return!

From the easy check in to check out, this is a very nice property for your vacation. As far as amenities, this owner has really thought of everything. The view from the lanai is sensational and you can watch the surfers from dawn to dusk. Mahalo for the memorable experience!

Wonderful time and great owner!!!
5.0
We enjoyed our stay so much and hope to return. We took advantage of the lovely lanai where we were just above the ocean. It was wonderful to watch the resident sea turtle in the water below and the water was so clear you could see yellow fish (possibly tangs?) in the water below.
The unit was clean and had everything we could have asked for. The bed was comfortable as was the living room furniture. The complex was quiet and friendly. The onsite pool sparkling. No problem parking.
Mike, the owner, gave so many references and recommendations in a binder. He also emails you info before the trip so you can have time to plan activities.
We swam at the nearby magic sands beach, which was one of the beaches Mike recommended.
The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, including BBQ equipment. If you want a homey vacation by the ocean, watching the sunset from your lanai every evening, this is your pick of condos!
5.0
Right on the ocean! You could throw a stone in from the room if you wanted. The waves seemed gentle but were surprisingly loud.
The air conditioner was a life saver during our warm August visit. Quality water gear to borrow. We saw a turtle just out front.
We loved it.
No EV charging.

A great time. Great amenities and wonderful view from lanai. Had toiletries so that was much appreciated. Beach gear was very nice to have. The sunsets can’t be beat. Good communication with owner. Lots of great info provided about what to do and eat. Would stay again!

Although this is an older building complex with few amenities, it met our family’s needs quite nicely. The unit was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed for a beach stay, including chairs, snorkel gear, beach towels and coolers. The decor was very nice and the lanai was the star of the show. The owner was super responsive to all our questions and needs. We never used the pool once as the ocean was right there. Our last day was best when a large turtle swam right up to the kids near shore!

Had a blast watching sunsets and using this condo as home base for our activities on the big island. The BBQ grill came in handy and we enjoyed watching the surfers each day.

I love love love this place. The owner Mile was wondering and extremely nice. We stayed at his place for 3 night and it was the most beautiful place . We got to see gorgeous sunsets and sleep to the sound of the ocean waves. The place is so close to everything. I would definitely stay here again . Thank you Mike for letting us stay and you wonderful place.

Our first trip to Hawaii was absolutely perfect during our stay in this fantastic home. Everything was very clean, welcoming, and beautiful. The view from the balcony was undescribable!! We could see the waves breaking on shore!! So relaxing!! Also, with our binoculars, we were able to see many dolphins playing, a variety of colorful fish, and a cute sea turtle! The beds were very comfortable giving us a perfect night's sleep throughout our entire stay!! Thank you very much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Mahalo!

This was such an easy process. This rental was easy to find, easy to enter, easy parking, FULLY stocked, and very clean. We loved watching sunsets in the evening and eating meals on outdoor.l table There was an ac but at times it still felt a bit warm. Besides that, everything else was so well thought out and prepared. The location was so convenient for snorkeling all along the coast. We especially loved 2 step beach. We had a great stay!!

Great 4th floor condo. Very clean. Owner was over the top responsive. Nothing but good things to say about experiance. Had a minor issue that was resolved to our satisfaction.
Again. The view was fabulous. Location at the heart of everything. Surfers were using the rocks as a launch point and were fun to watch.

Watching the waves, marine life and sunsets and hearing the waves throughout the unit was awesome.

Staying at Mike’s well appointed condo with its spectacular view was the highlight of our stay. It had everything we needed — sensible layout, air conditioning, lots of fans, incredible oceanfront view overlooking the sunset, washer and dryer, TV with casting, access to pool and hot tub, access to oceanfront picnic table and BBQ, and parking. It was super helpful that he also had snorkeling equipment, boogie boards, reef shoes, beach umbrellas, beach chairs, and everything we needed to enjoy the beach as a family. The beds were also super comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. The laundry room even had the same scent free detergent we use at home. We felt right at home. I did have a couple of questions for Mike during our stay, and he was always extremely responsive. Honestly, the place couldn’t have been better, and it really enhanced our stay. Perfect for our family of 4. We would definitely stay again!

We loved the condo. It was beautiful. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. Wash/Dryer was a bonus. Great to wash the beach towels each night and have them ready each morning for a new adventure. Had no complaints other than the humidity seems to be rusting out the lock. The key was a little tricky to use. Keyless entry pad would have been nice. We would stay here again. We had a great week and couldn't ask for a better view. Mike was a great host and sent lots of information about the island before we arrived. That was a big help.
5.0
The owner, Mike was awesome. Super responsive to all our questions. He has created a homey, very comfortable place to enjoy the view and beauty of Kona. The complex and unit are older but well maintained , the people are great and the owner has done significant upgrades to make this cozy place very enjoyable. We saw whales, turtles and yellow tang right from our lanai.

We absolutely loved this place! It was probably the most well-stocked condo I have ever rented. It was my boyfriend and I and my two kiddos (ages 5 and 7). Plenty of room, air conditioned, best view in town, tide pools at the beach on site, close to everything in Kona, friendly condo patrons, great pool with plenty of shade and sun depending on what you’re looking for. Absolutely perfect family vacation - we will return! Thank you so much to the owner - made it smooth and easy with lots of suggestions and helpful information about what to do in Kona. I cannot rate this place high enough. If you’re looking for a family getaway in Kona, this is the place for you. Until next time, Mahalo! :)

We enjoyed the condo—it was cute and comfortable. The highlight was the large lanai which is where we watched the sunset in the evenings and the turtles and fish in the morning.

The view from the lanai was spectacular! We saw humpback whales, sea turtles, a huge variety of sea life and not to mention the breathtaking sunsets all from our lanai. Inside the unit was super clean and stocked with everything we needed including the sound of the breaking waves.
5.0
Loved our stay here. There was everything we could possibly need for a week. We were very impressed with how nice it was compared to the place the rest of our family stayed. We had everything we could possibly need for a week long stay already in the condo. And the sounds of the ocean waves crashing every night was an amazing way to fall asleep!
5.0
Truly enjoyed our stay in this condo. Easy access, great views of the ocean and surfers right out our lanai
Kitchen well equipped with what we needed to prepare meals.
Nice supply of boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, beach towels and even a cooler!
Mike was an awesome host and fast response with communication.
I use the trolley for one trip to and from town which really worked out well. It’s free and comes right past the complex
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay. The location is prefect. Especially if you like hearing the waves crashing at night. I think the only downside would be if you were to be in the front bedroom because it had noticeable street noise. The owners have just about everything you could possibly need. We loved our stay and would recommend it.
5.0
This was our third visit to Kona Bali Kai. We love the property. Mike was great communicating with us and was very accommodating. His unit was very clean and exceeded our expectations. The unit was very well stocked with what a family would need for long or short term stays. I’ll be bringing my family back another day, for sure. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We had a wonderful and restful time there. Mahalo.

The view is amazing and really enjoyed watching the sunset from the lanai. We had a miscommunication on the check-in and Mike responded immediately to make sure everything was resolved. Mike provides everything you need for a great vacation, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, coolers, beach towels, and a comprehensive list of recommendations for restaurants and activities.
5.0
We really enjoyed staying at Mike's place. We were blown away by the view from the living room and master bedroom the moment we entered the condo. The condo is really well stocked with everything from cooking/eating utensils, first aid kit, to snorkeling gears, all thoughtfully stored and labeled. The location is very convenient, 10-15 minutes to great restaurants, snorkeling spots and other attractions. We've visited big island several times, and this is the best place that we've stayed so far.
