About this apartment rental
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.

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.

This condo was absolutely amazing! A beautiful spot right on the water, hearing the ocean waves crashing in!
The apartment has absolutely everything you need, from personal amenities to beach and snorkeling gear.
The drive to nearby beaches and to the restaurants on Ali'i drive are both easy.
Mike was responsive when I called with a question, communication was easy.
The only downside is the bedroom in the front of the apartment gets a bit warm, the AC unit and the doors to the lanai are both in the back of the apartment so don't cool the front bedroom as easily.
Would happily recommend to anyone looking to stay in Kona!

This property has EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING. I am a frequent VRBO traveler and this is by far the best property that I have stayed.
Everything described in the listing and pictures was 100% accurate.
The communication with the owner Mike was next level. he was proactive, helpful and I felt a genuine effort by him to ensure we had the best possible stay. The written materials and communication he provided was off the hook: multiple suggested itineraries, best places to eat, locations of things to do broken down by mileage and time from condo, directions, checkin process, and a complete "bible" in the condo of literally all the amenities, appliances and "how tos".
The property was immaculately clean, fresh and inviting.
The kitchen had every gadget one would need.
The location is amazing. We sat out on the balcony every morning watching 4-6 surfers. You are so close to the ocean that even with the doors closed you can loudly hear the waves. The condo is about a 5-10 minutes drive into Kailua. About a 30 minute walk. Parking is readily available but it will cost you - about $10/hour in most public lots. We took an Uber once, which was actually sketch do to the driver. On the return trip, we had a better driver, but she informed us that there were only like 10 Uber drivers, not sure if that was true but it did take some time to get linked with a driver on the app.
On a scale of 1-10 this property/owner are an easy 10+. I'd write more but I'm limited by space.

The apartment itself was very nice and well maintained. But the absolute star of this place is the view. It is right on the ocean and you can just sit on the lanai and watch the surfers, sea turtles and waves forever! Mike was excellent to deal with. He even gave a detailed itinerary of things to do, which was very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate renting it again!

The condo has an AMAZING view and we enjoyed sitting on the lanai to watch surfers, sea turtles, fish, and the beautiful sunset. Mike is very responsive and addressed any questions/concerns we had immediately. The condo is very well equipped with everything you need: cooking utensils, spices, laundry detergent, beach equipment (chairs, umbrella, snorkel gears, boogie boards, coolers) and many many more. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends. Thanks Mike for sharing your lovely place with us.

Overall we were very pleased with our stay and would recommend Mike's place to friends and family. Mike is great at communication and very organized. The place was very well stocked. We really enjoyed using the boogie boards. We loved dinners on the balcony watching the sunset.
The only thing that could be improved was that one of the twin beds was worn out and squeaking badly.
Thanks.

If you’re looking for a comfortable, clean, well-appointed place to stay, look no further! This place has it all. From well-stocked cupboards to sharp knives, from soft towels to comfy beds - there’s nothing funky about this place. I’ve stayed in other units at Kona Bali Kai and this is one of the best. I don’t normally like to eat-in while I’m on vacation, but we enjoyed cooking fresh ahi every other night in this clean, well stocked kitchen. This place is a little gem and I hope it stays this way until I can come back again.

This place has a wonderful view right on the ocean. From the lanai, we saw morning surfers, several whales on the surface, and sea turtles lazing in the sun. The property is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable Hawaiian vacation. The property manager was very easy to communicate with and efficient. The property was very clean and updated. Parking was simple and restaurants were nearby. Mahalo

This condo has everything you could possibly need for a week in Paradise. The cabinets were well stocked with everything from seasonings, to coffee grinder, to tour books, to laundry supplies, etc., etc., etc.
And not to mention the view: UNBELIEVABLE! Every evening on the comfortable lanai, watching the sunset. And in the morning, you can watch the surfers.
We were a group of three women, and the fact the 2nd bedroom door wouldn’t close b/c the bed is too long, wasn’t a problem, nor would the open door be a problem for a family.
The location is ideal. It’s out of the tourists’ main stream, and there’s handy transportation into town. After touring around and being “in town”, this is a welcomed retreat at the end of a busy day. Very, very comfortable for “chillin’”. And the pool is a lovely addition.
I hope we can return! Thnx, Mike!

Our stay was great. The condo is perfectly situated just south of town. It has a spectacular view, right on the ocean with a spacious and well furnished lanai. The unit is roomy, well furnished with many unexpected and useful features, including in the kitchen. Our expectations were met and exceeded Pre visit communication with the owner was easy and timely. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Unit was as the photos displayed

If you dislike the sound of pounding surf, spotting countless whales, sea turtles and surfers from your private balcony, this unit is not for you.
This was our 18th trip to the islands and our best. We've never seen so many whales. The calves were very entertaining.
Mike was great and just a text or phone call away. Everything was as presented. Highly recommended.

Great condo on 4th floor (penthouse) right on the beach. Surf crashing constantly. Beautiful view especially sunsets.
10.0
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!
10.0
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!
10.0
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.

Great size for a family of four adults.
Everything you need in the kitchen, bathrooms and to take to the beach. The view from the lanai is great. Beautiful sunsets.

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.

Lovely little neighborhood, near markets and sightseeing, right on the water, beautiful sunsets. Hawaii baby!

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!!!

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!
10.0
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!!
