Oceanfront Penthouse, As Close As You Can Stay To Ocean, Stunning Views, A/C!

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!

Excellent!

This condo is exactly as described. Fabulous views. Large and comfortable 2 bedrooms. Very functional kitchen with everything you’d need for cooking and laundry/cleaning. And everything imaginable provided for beach. Building even when filled is quiet inside the unit. It’s also a quite good location with Kailua town about 2 miles in one direction and the local state park and other beaches nearby in the other direction. Kim promptly responds to any questions. All around, an excellent property choice.

Wonderful gem RIGHT on the water!

Banyon Tree 402 is one of, if not THE best place we've stayed, certainly on the big Island, if not ALL Hawaii. The condo is "personal and private." All the little things you wonder about ARE there and to be enjoyed! Bring your "ahhhhhhh," and enjoy the fabulous views, great location!

Perfect spring break

This place was amazing. The best view of the ocean from the lani. The condo was perfect. It was complete with extras like beach towels, chairs and umbrellas. The two bedroom was the right size for our family. The kitchen was supplied with everything we needed. The owners thought of the little things that made the stay perfect. We already looked Into booking for next year at spring break but it was already booked:(. We will be back.

Great Rest

Reality met pictures. When chatting on phone with son, asked if we were on a cruise, due to closeness of water. Quiet location, not really close to any shopping or restaurants, but walking distance to several beaches. Would stay here again.

Super clean unit with amazing views! Everything works like it should . Quite complex, very peaceful. They have beach equipment that is actually in good shape.(chairs umbrella ,boggie boards. Location couldn’t be better. You can walk to something’s. Everything else is a short drive. Ps- the beds were actually comfortable.

A truly lovely condo. The attention to detail is unbelievable. And then there’s the view. We’ve stayed at a lot of condos up and down Ali'i Drive. This one is at the top of my list. Loved watching the surfers in the morning and the sunsets at night. Very comfortable and appreciate the easy communication. Location is also perfect. Already looking forward to my next stay!.

I can not say enough good things about this property. The view from the lanai is the most amazing. Chill in the morning, drinking a cup of coffee and watching the surfers. Chill in the evening waiting for sunset... watching the surfers. Highly recommend! Will stay here again. Thank you !

Fantastic Ocean Views

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The highlight, of course, were the ocean views, the fantastic sunsets, and the surfers riding the waves.The condo was spacious, the beds and furniture were comfortable, and the bathrooms/showers were well appointed. the kitchen had everything we needed and we appreciated the spices, tea, coffee, and other kitchen necessities that were needed.The condo even provided beach chairs, snorkeling gear, and boogie boards.Decorating tip: when it's time to paint, choose an off white rather than the sand brown to give the room a brighter feel. Also, I'd choose couches with a brighter tropical look rather than the cord brown.Bottom line: I felt I received value for my money and I believe the owners understood the adage "Be Your Guest.

Just a great place

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.

Absolutely Amazing

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!

Can’t beat that view!

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!

Perfect Stay!

Our first time to on the Big Island. This condo was a perfect for our family. The pictures of the unit are exactly what you get. So close to the ocean, watching the surfers in the morning and we saw the spinner dolphins jumping out of the water. It was magical and have no complaints. The air conditioners worked great. Kim called us the first day to make sure we got into the unit and that everything was clean. Took the trolley to town which worked out great. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Enjoyed the hot tub and swimming pool. Highly recommend!
