Oceanfront Penthouse - AC, Crashing Waves, Spectacular Sunsets, Surfers, Turtles

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.

Amenities include free in-unit password protected WiFi and internet access (500 Mbps download speed), full-size washer and dryer, coffee grinder, ice chests, frozen ice packs, beach chairs, beach towels, beach mats, boogie boards, snorkel gear, children’s beach toys, puzzles, games, two flat screen TVs, iron and ironing board and hair dryer.

Sleeping arrangements include a king-size bed in the oceanfront master bedroom and twin beds in the second bedroom. The living room couch is a queen-size hide-a-bed. The unit sleeps four persons privately (two in the master bedroom and two in the second bedroom) or six if you use the living room hide-a-bed. The master bedroom has it's own bathroom and the second bathroom is adjacent to the guest bedroom.

Resort amenities include free parking, elevator, a large swimming pool with loungers, deck chairs and tables, hot tub/spa, comfortable lobby with wireless Internet, oceanfront gas barbecues, oceanfront lounge chairs on the beach, numerous shallow lava tide pools with green sea turtles, Da Poke Shack (a very popular restaurant for poke), on-site security personnel in the evening, and convenience store (with alcohol sales) across the street. The resort does not allow smoking in any public areas and our unit is also non-smoking.

Amazing spot

Just a lovely spot - ocean waves and breezes, views of surfers and dolphins in the morning, all the amenities (thank you for beach chairs and snorkeling gear). Nice 40 min walk into town, Da Poke on site (amazing Poke), and easy parking - truly one of favorite spots we have stayed.

Great location & perfectly appointed

We stayed for a quick visit with our kids in October and really enjoyed the location. The little beach at the corner of the property was great for poking around tide pools and watching the surfers. This place has everything we needed for trips to the beach and coming and going to Kailua town for food and fun.

Nice stay

The best thing about staying here was being right by the ocean and hearing the waves crash. I also liked how comfortable the beds were and how nice the place was over all. I found that the kitchen was a good size as well. The only issue was that the pool was cold. Mike was a great host and very responsive

Great stay in Kona!

We really enjoyed this two bedroom condo. The unit was sparkling clean and well-stocked with anything we could have needed. The grounds are great and well maintained. Tide pools were fun to explore. Waves crashing and beautiful sunsets when we were “home”. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo

Great spot for family vacation

We had a great time in this apartment. It has everything you need. Kitchen well stocked, beach and snorkeling supplies, a well functioning AC (was pretty hot and sticky when we were there) and more. The grounds are well maintained and there a great poke place on site. Mike provided me with a ton of information about the property and the area, and was very responsive to all of my inquiries.

Everything as advertised

I walked In underwhelmed … don’t judge a book by its cover. Just came from the Hyatt regency In Maui, this was our second stay on a 3 island visit. Little did we know it was exactly what we needed and wanted. The ocean …every single night. I don’t know how I’ll ever top that seriously, of all the stays in all the cities this was phenomenal. Clean, we barbecued, we cooked we laundered, we tended to wounds, there was everything we could need and more than should be expected, grocery store minutes away!! Snorkeling, cooking, first aid, shampoo. It’s truly home away from home. Book it with zero regrets. I promise!! If we ever go back to Kona we will stay here again without hesitation
