Oceanfront/A/C/Elevator/Surfers- Dolphins + Whales


OCEAN FRONT BEAUTY! Intimate 20 unit complex. Feast your palate with this ocean front condo in the heart of Kailua Kona's "surf city". Spectacular early morning & evening sunset views awaits.

HAWAII AT ITS BEST! From the privacy lanai you can watch whales and some of the best surfers on the Island! Recently remodeled bathrooms. Owners like very quiet and added two feet of blow in insulation to ceiling.

As you enter, be greeted by the airy, open-concept living space that flows seamlessly onto your long, private, ocean-front lanai. Start your mornings with a cup of Kona coffee while soaking in the panoramic ocean views, or unwind in the evening with a glass of wine as you watch the sunset paint the sky in vibrant hues. Turtles, fish, dolphins, whales and the occasional rare Hawaiian Monk Seal can be viewed from the comfort of the lanai. Or cheer on your favorite surfers and canoe racers on famous Banyans Beach located directly below us. There are many tide pools to explore below the unit or bring your rod and fish steps from your front door!

The master suite is a sanctuary, featuring a king-sized bed and en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom, with another king bed, is perfect for guests or family members. Both bathrooms are newly remodeled. The living area also features a couch with a double size and a love seat with a single size sleeper both with memory foam mattress accommodating up to two additional guests.

Our kitchen is beautifully supplied, featuring both Keurig and standard brewers, along with every other small appliance and cooking tool you could require. When you’re ready to explore, you’re just minutes away from top-notch dining, shopping, and exciting Hawaiian activities. Experience the best of Hawaii with thrilling manta ray night dives, delicious coffee tastings at local plantations, and awe-inspiring hikes around the island’s active volcano.

Known as the "gold coast" of Kona, the reefs right in front of our condo are filled with a variety of sea life! You can spot turtles and "yellow tang" right from the living room or lanai. Snorkelers and divers can see the colorful parrot fish, humuhumunukunukapua'a (Hawaii's famous state triggerfish), the graceful surgeonfish, butterflyfish and angelfish as they glide through the vibrant coral reefs. Keep an eye out for moray eels lurking in crevices and playful octopuses. If you're lucky you might even see a shy reef shark cruising in the distance or witness the majestic humpback whales during their winter migration. They underwater world right in front of the condo is truly a paradise for ocean lovers!

Additional perks include high-speed WiFi (1 gig), 2 smart TVs, and access to the community pool and hot tub. We supply beach chairs umbrella, cooler, etc. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, taking a dip in the ocean, or exploring the island’s natural beauty, you’ll find everything you need for a perfect stay.

Don’t look any further—book this one

This condo is perfect! Location is quiet, watch the surfers from the balcony, see the waves roll in from a pool chair. A well appointed, updated and well stocked condo. Communication with the owner was awesome even letting us know we could check in early. Wonderful stay and couldn’t have been better!

I Don’t Know Where I’m a Gonna Go When the Volcano Blows

More fun than expected watching surfers at almost all daylight hours. On the last day, rushed to Kīlauea to catch episode 22 of the Halemaʻumaʻu eruption. Unbelievable. Location is great, communication with the owner was great.

Review Banyan Beach Condo April 26/25-May 3/25-Sue & Jeff from Gig Harbor, WA Sue here.... Loved this place! It was the perfect location -close to the airport, minutes from downtown, close to kayaking and snorkeling adventures and right on the beach where we could watch surfers on the lanai ! That was Sue’s evaluation now here’s mine-the pragmatic Jeff approach….I use the Good, the Bad and the Ugly scale. First the Good-If you love the sound of surf this is the place for you! When they say it’s on the beach, they mean it is ON the beach!  Premium view of surfers and sunsets! The layout of the unit is perfect. Parking was so easy with the reserved spot. Pool and BBQ are nicely located as in we could BBQ while watching the sunset or be in the pool! The unit was well equipped with all the beach stuff you need. The Bad-hmmm…….hmmm……couldn’t find a roller pizza cutter to cut our “Hawaiian pizza” LOL The Ugly-ok hmmm……hmmm….salt water spray on the windshield in the morning?  We dealt with it LOL P.s. check in and check out procedures were very detailed by email, just read them (don't be like me and forget to check your email cuz you are on island time!)

Lovely stay in Kona waking up to surfers and dolphins

We had a wonderful stay at this oceanfront condo. I really appreciated that the kitchen had some basic cooking essentials like salt/pepper, oil, etc. and that we were able to borrow snorkeling gear and a couple of beach chairs when visiting the beach. The description of the condo is accurate. The condo is clean and has a perfect view to watch the sunset. Communication with Dawn was easy, as was the check-in and check-out process. I would happily stay here the next time we visit the Big Island. Mahalo!

Love the location, the pool is lovely! loved sitting on the lanai watching the surf. We needed a fragrance free place due to allergies (MCS). Dawn did a terrific job on making sure our need was met. She was great communicating with us about our needs. Had a wonderful stay.
