Direct Oceanfront Condo: New Remodel, AC, Tidepools, Sunsets, Turtles & Surfers

BOOK TWO NIGHTS AND GET A THIRD NIGHT FOR FREE (March 8 - April 6, 2025 only). BOOK AT LEAST 2 NIGHTS AND OWNER WILL ADD A FREE NIGHT (be sure there is an extra night available). This air-conditioned direct oceanfront unit on the 3rd floor (with elevator) overlooks a large lava tide pool that is frequented by turtles and colorful Hawaiian reef fish. The warm Kona surf laps directly below the lanai. While you lounge on the lanai, watch surfers tackle the 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 in your comfortable chairs. Enjoy the brilliant blue skies, 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 and shower with multiple shower heads, double sinks and contemporary tile work. The beautiful wood grain floor tile, 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, 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 TVs, iron and ironing board, safe, and wall-mounted hair dryers.

Sleeping arrangements include a king-size bed in the oceanfront master bedroom and twin beds in the second bedroom. The living room has a queen-size hide-a-bed, rocking chair and recliner. The unit sleeps four persons privately (two in the master bedroom and two in the second bedroom) or six if you use the queen-size 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, Da Poke Shack (a very popular restaurant for poke), on-site security, and convenience store (with alcohol sales) across the street.

Amazing ocean view, great stay

This apartment has amazing ocean view! We had all our meals at the balcony to enjoy the view. The apartment is clean with all the appliances we needed for the stay. Enough parking spaces with cover. With elevator, easy to move our luggages. Definitely will come back if I visit big island again!

Oceanfront Bliss

The property was very clean, in a good location close to Kona-Kailua, and had an amazing view. A very comfortable overall stay for 6 days. The bed was very comfortable and the waves right outside the slider lulled us to sleep each night. We would definitely recommend this property again for anyone who's looking for several nights in Kona, but doesn't want to pay the exorbitant cost for a resort. The immediate area is generally quiet and located close to several public beaches. There are other really nice beaches within easy driving distance. We had a great time here and would definitely recommend again. The owner gave great instructions from appliance workings to places to see, & places to eat. Definitely a great place to stay for 2 or 4 people looking for a restful retreat on the big island.

Heart for Kona Bali Kai

Wonderful condo rental for a family. Lovely breeze from the deck, appreciated having coolers available, loved watching the waves from just feet away day and night. Owner was easy to work with, highly recommend.

Great non-hotel option /location to explore Kona area

We love having the space and ability to cook, so hotel is not our choice. The condo was spacious with large patio with GREAT view. We watched the surfers, sunsets almost everyday. We ended but not cooking dinner, just breakfast on the lanai. Great location to explore that side of the island. Close to everything. Mike was great with info and communication. Check in process was easy.Few things need improvement: inside the drawers needs cleaning, bathroom needs new shower head. And extra bath mat will be nice, since it gets wet and if we forget to hang outside, it smells. Pool is ok - nice option for a late night swim.

Wonderful Stay

We stayed for 8 nights and the property was beautiful. The condo had a great floorplan with the primary bedroom open to the ocean and a second bedroom/bathroom conveniently off the kitchen. The kitchen was very well equipped with appliances and spices, even some lovely unopened leftovers in the fridge when we arrived. Instructions from Mike prior to our visit were very helpful, and he was very responsive when we contacted him about a minor issue. The property is gorgeous, right on the ocean, and we could even watch green sea turtles from our lanai feeding in the tide pools just yards away. I highly recommend this condo for a stay in Kona!!!

Loved the view and relaxing on the deck. Fun to watch the surfers, see turtles, and awesome sunsets. The house had everything our family needed and was so comfortable. The pool was great after a long day out and you have the best poke place around right on property, Da Poke Shack. Thank you, Mike, for sharing this little piece of paradise.

Great rental. Nice wide lanai. Could wake up to the roar of the surf and see the shore while laying in bed. Numerous fans were provided to help with the air flow breeze. Bedding was quite comfy. Plenty of parking during out stay in mid-May. It was all very nice.
