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.

Our Fantastic Family Vacation
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.

Wonderful Vacay at Kona Bali Kai
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.

Great view, everything we needed
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

Unbeatable View; Great Accommodation!
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

We Had a Whale of a Time!
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.

Fantastic!!
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.

Listen to the waves
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.

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.

Everything for your comfort
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!
