About this apartment rental

Banyan Tree Penthouse Condo 402 is a spacious, ocean front condo with an ocean view that will leave you breathless. Located on the quiet 4th floor, penthouse level yet so close to the water that you can actually look down and see tropical fish like the yellow tang! Sea turtles, spinner dolphins, humpback whales (when in season) and surfers often entertain you by day and the surf will lull you to sleep each night. The living room features floor to ceiling windows that look as though the ocean is coming inside! The private, tiled lanai is the perfect place to enjoy your coffee in the morning or to have a cocktail and watch a picture perfect sunset in the evening.

Inside you’ll find all the comforts of home. The oceanfront master bedroom has a comfy king bed and the second bedroom a queen and twin so the unit comfortably sleeps four. The fully stocked kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to make meals or prepare for the perfect "sunset happy hour"! Enjoy two flat screen TV’s with over 200 channels, a DVD library, Bluetooth speaker for your tunes and free WiFi. Beach towels, chairs, boogie boards, coolers and an umbrella are supplied for your beach days. Pack fewer clothes for your trip if you like because of the full size Maytag washer and dryer. Air conditioning is throughout the condo to keep you cool on those warmer Kona days!

The Banyan Tree is a small, well-kept complex with only 20 units so it never feels crowded. The property is located as close as you can get to the Pacific Ocean. In fact new construction is no longer allowed to be as close to the ocean as Banyan Tree. The ocean front pool has mesmerizing views and plenty of comfortable lounge chairs. Barbecue grills and a hot tub are also poolside. A spacious veranda on the second floor with amazing views is available to all Banyan Tree guests for entertaining. Directly next door is a small, sandy beach where the locals access the Banyan Surf site, a famed stretch of water in front of the condo known for fantastic surfing and boogie boarding.

Banyan Tree is centrally located on the sunny side of the Big Island in Kailua-Kona. Top rated restaurants like the Poke Shack and local farmers markets are minutes away. Downtown Kona, with galleries and shops is less than three miles. Historic Alii drive, which is great for ocean walks, is right out the back door. Ready for the beach? Magic Sands Beach is less than a mile away. Kahalu'u Beach is only two miles and has easy snorkeling where you can get up-close to beautiful reefs and abundant sea life. It's also a great place to learn to surf. Postcard perfect beaches such as Hapuna Beach and Kua Bay are to the north and Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park and Captain Cooks monument lie to the south. Also to the south is Two Step Beach, located near Pu’u Honua O Honaunau National Historic Park, which is a perfect snorkeling spot to explore the crystal clear waters of Kona’s coast. Since Banyan Tree is located about halfway up the Kona coast you can easily drive to either end of the island. When you're done just park in your designated parking stall and take the elevator to your penthouse retreat!
This is an ocean lover's dream, we hope you visit soon!

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was an amazing experience. First of all, the condo has incredible views of the ocean, particularly through the living room window which looks as if the condo is almost in the ocean. The balcony also has great views and is very spacious. Its very relaxing to chill on the balcony and watch the surfers riding the waves. There is a small beach by the condo, but unless you are a surfer, I'd recommend nearby Magic Sands beach, its just a couple minute drive. The condo pool area was really nice as well, it is right by the ocean, with ocean views from the pool chairs or hot tub. There were very few people at the pool during our stay, and it felt like we mostly had the pool to ourselves. The location was also excellent, about a 10 minute drive from the downtown Kailua-Kona area which has tons of restaurants and awesome beach views everywhere you go. On our trip we also went to Hilo one day which was about 1.75 hours away, Volcano National Park which was about 2 hours away, and Hapuna beach which was about an hour away. Lastly, I wanted to mention that the condo owner was awesome and worked with us through a difficult situation. Our flight home was cancelled due to airline issues, we had to spend an extra two days in Hawaii (what a shame, I know), and instead of needing to find a new condo, the owner was able to work with us to extend our stay which was extremely appreciated. Overall, we cannot recommend this place enough!

INCREDIBLE place!! This condo is gorgeous inside. The view from the lanai off the master bedroom was our favorite place to hang out in the morning with our coffee and in the evening to watch the sunset. Banyan Beach is a very popular local surf spot and it was fun to watch them catching waves every day. The windows are perfectly aligned with sunrise and sunset and everything in the kitchen (and throughout) the condo is labeled. We enjoyed slow mornings at the table after cooking scrambled eggs, use of beach towels for excursions, amenities such as large closet space and easy access to town. The location is perfect because it is so quiet at night and literally 5 minutes from Kona Village. Easy north drives and easy south drives to various locations. It was a bonus to have a dedicated covered parking spot. The pool was refreshing after a long day out and the second floor lanai was perfect for an afternoon of relaxing. Inside the condo, the couch was soft and comfy and the pull out room separator was easy to use. Kim was responsive when I notified her about some lights being out and the trash chute made us feel like we were in a NYC high rise. Overall stay was 5 STARS and highly recommended! Thanks Kim for a great place.

This condo is just as beautiful as the pictures show. The view from the living room, dining room and lanai/patio are incredible. Locals surf the waves right below the windows, so you could sit there for hours just watching them catch the waves. The owners Jon & Kim checked in with us via text to make sure everything was up to par and made it very clear they were just a phone call away if anything needed attention while we were there (nothing ever went wrong, though). We had family staying in another condo in this complex at the same time as us, and this condo we were in was absolutely more up-to-date. We were appreciative of the condiments left in the fridge by previous guests, and we left some unused items as well when we checked out. You'll definitely enjoy your stay at this unit should you decide to book it. There are multiple snorkeling spots within a 3-5 minute drive of this condo. The only part that had me raise an eyebrow was the amount of rules the HOA has put in place for this complex. There were 7 pages of rules posted in the elevator, you actually have to ride the elevator a few times to be able to read through everything. There's even a sign at the pool that states, "No Marco/Polo or any games to be played at the pool". We had our children with us and though none of the posted rules affected our trip negatively, it just felt a little uninviting or uncomfortable at times, like the board at the HOA doesn't like that owners rent out their units.

We lucked into a vacant week at this very popular rental to celebrate our anniversary and boy howdy did this property live up to its promise! The views are spectacular. The layout is well appropriated and the AC was a nice touch at night. We spent a lot of time on the lanai watching the surfers, the fish, and the waves. The location is very easy to get to and the reserved parking space is the icing on the cake! Thank you for all of the thoughtful touches of extra towels and beach equipment and general wares in the kitchen. We even had to use (and replaced what we used) the first-aid kit…those lava rocks are sharp! We hope to come back soon!

This property was spectacular! We listened to waves every night and it was great. Nice ocean breeze so no need for A/C. Previous guests left condiments so that was very helpful. Tons of space. Brought 3 of our kids and granddaughter over one at a time. Ages 63 to 6 had so much fun. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough for a short car trip to get there. Pool was a hit for our 6 year old! We barbecued and ate by the pool and also played games on the communal lanai. Highly recommend this property!

This condo was a little slice of paradise. Could not get any closer to the ocean. It is just as shown in the photos. The location was perfect to where we wanted to explore. We will definitely be back again.

Wow, this condo is everything that was decribed. We were so lucky to view surfers from the lanai everyday, so fun to watch. We only had one issue and that is with the signage at the entrance to the parking garage. The signage is not lit at night and is some what concealed from view. Easy to miss the entry.
