Banyan 200 is conveniently located on Ali'i Drive, which is a great place to stroll along the beach or go snorkeling. You'll love exploring the area and its many significant Hawaiian cultural landmarks. Both the Hulihee Palace and the Mokuaikaua Church are located on Ali'i Drive. King Kamehameha I spent his last years living near the current site of what is now the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel, until his passing in 1819. The Ahu'ena Heiau, located on the grounds of the hotel, is a reconstructed temple rebuilt by the late king and is on the register of National Historic Landmarks.

Dine on a light snack or a gourmet meal, buy an inexpensive souvenir or a piece of fine art, book an activity, go for a swim or hang out at the beach. The pier is the official starting and finishing point of the Ironman World Championship (held annually in October), and a great place to watch the sunset. Everything you want and need is readily available in the heart of Kailua Kona town.

Banyan Tree 200 is conveniently located and a great place to stay while exploring the wonders of the Island of Hawaii, including Volcanoes National Park, Mauna Kea Observatory, coffee and macadamia nut farms, artist communities, and more.

This is a lovely apartment with comfortable furnishings. Having breakfast while watching the early morning surfers was a great way to start the day and the sunsets the best way to end it. Be aware that there is no AC in the main bedroom and it can get a little stuffy. Seriously, that was barely an issue and our stay was wonderful. If we make it back to Big Island again, we'd definitely stay here again.

I was happily surprised with how stunning the accommodation was. Immaculate and beautifully furnished. It is literally situated right on the waterfront. Absolutely stunning sunsets viewed from our lounge and balcony. Could sit all day just enjoying the view. The bed was extremely comfortable, haven't slept so well for a long time. Didn't want to leave, so relaxing. Will definitely be coming back.

We were visiting Kona for our sons. birthday. It was a perfect location! Amazing communication with the Host. Condo was charming. We were so thankful for a parking space. It was so fun to watch the surfers right from the lanai.

Despite an event and some property construction during our visit Tracy was the most incredible, above and beyond, hostess helping us with much needed support and understanding. What a wonderful place! We would just LOVE to return

Right on the water, we really enjoyed watching the sunsets and the surfers every day. It was within walking distance to Da Poke Shack, which had some of the best poke we have ever had! Primary bedroom did not have AC which would have been a problem had there been more than two of us. Other than that the condo had everything that we needed for our short stay. It could use some fresh paint and updating but overall a nice place to say.

This was a great place to celebrate my 70th. Watching the surfers from the lanai was so pe@ceful, and the sunsets🤗👍🥰We even had a whale come by on our last morning here, I’d like to think to say Aloha ❤️

The sound of the ocean waves of movement and foam... Changing sunsets from red brilliance to soft pastels from your private deck. Surfers, who have been riding waves since ancient times in front of your living room, entertaining you with their moves. Banyan Tree home is artistically decorated and appointed to reflect the beauty of Hawaii. Close to excellent snorkeling beach and White Sands Beach, fully equipped for all your vacation needs. When you get home, you will still be dreaming about your stay and the sea. Highly recommend and hope you enjoy your stay

This oceanfront condo with wrap around lanai has stunning views—we could just sit for hours watching the ocean and the surfers. The condo is clean, comfortable and well-equipped. An assigned under cover park space was a bonus and the condo location so convenient. This older, smaller boutique complex was perfect for a relaxing vacation. The pool and adult spa were often our own. This is not our first stay, and it won't be our last.

Wonderful stay at this super clean condo in a prime spot on the water. Super clean, great amenities, and a fantastic base camp location for exploring the Kona side of the big island.

This is an excellent condo in a great location. It felt like we had the entire complex to ourselves. The pool and hot tub was never overcrowded. It is fun to watch the surfers all day! Thank you! We will be back for sure!

This trip was a gift to our elderly parents who always wanted to see Hawaii. The view and the recliners in the living room just fit the bill. They enjoyed watching the surfers and the boats. The location of the unit was perfect for our daily excursions and the security features of the complex helped them feel safe. My only concerns was that my mother in law fell immediately on the steps on the living room and cut up and bruised her legs pretty severely. She didn’t need stitches but it was fairly traumatic for her and limited what she could do during our visit. The little brown rugs may not be enough visual warning- I’d put bright tape down or something- maybe it was just our group that had a problem. Thank you for a nice stay.

We stayed here for all of our first visit to the big island of Hawaii. It was a great property with a breathtaking view. All four of us enjoyed the stay and the reasonable pricing and it is conveniently located to all Kona has to offer. Highly recommend this unit.

We had a great experience here! The morning view of surfers to the evening sunset views from balcony was spectacular. The full glass wall in living room to the glass door balcony gives you really wide view of ocean right from your living room and kitchen. Kitchen was well equipped too for us to cook. Location is really nice as well.

Great condo location. Watch the surfers at Banyon every day all day! This is our second time here in this unit and love the big picture window that looks out at the surfers. Very clean and comfortable! Will come again!

Enjoyed 3 great weeks at this very well equipped condo. Right at the oceans edge. We totally enjoyed watching the surfers every morning from the lanai. Spotted whales, turtles and dolphins and watched the sunset every evening. Great wrap around lanai so you can have sun or shade as desired. The condo is a little aged but well maintained. We received quick response to one issue. With the 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms suited our family perfectly.

Banyon Tree was ideal: morning coffee on the Lania watching the surfers below, easy access up and down the coast. The condo was extremely well equipped, with good kitchen, beach & snorkling toys, even a good first aid kit.



February 2023
The view and location of this property can not be beat! The floor to ceiling window and large outdoor porch were so much fun for watching surfers and whales from our "home". I loved hearing the waves crash and appreciated that they provide so many basics for the stay (soap, first aid, beach toys and chairs, laundry detergent, etc) The location was so close to all Kona has to offer and the reserved parking on site made it SO easy. Some parts of the condo didn't feel quite as clean as I had hoped, but I have incredibly high standards with cleanliness and mostly attribute any "not as clean" areas to living right on the coast with the salt water and sand just being brutal on the property. I stayed there with my husband and two young kids and would absolutely stay here again!! Thank you!

Staying at Tracy's property was a dream! We could wake up each morning and watch the surfers from the lanai. The condo was very well stocked and very comfortable. The location was super close to the Ali'i drive (but far enough away that you were removed from tourist traps).

Great location, right on Banyan surf break. Bedrooms could need a remodel but incredible views, great kitchen and lanai

Our 16 day stay in Nov 2022. Beautiful views from the condo. Very clean; plenty of linens; quick response to urgent repair needs; well equipped kitchen. The night time noises from the public park next door were extremely annoying while trying to sleep with the windows open. People fighting, arguing, partying, loud music, smoking at 2 am!!The park's outhouse right under bedroom window was stinky, then when the crew emptied it twice in 16 days, the horrendous STENCH filled up the entire condo. GROSS! Having windows on the north side of building was great during the day; obnoxious smells and noise at night. Traffic from Alli Dr also loud and constant. Elevator didn't work for 3 days. This made it very difficult for our elderly guest. The community pool needs umbrellas. No pool activities after 1pm as direct sun just too hot and direct. Other resorts are able to provide umbrellas at their pools. Why not Banyan? Nothing can be done to correct some defects, but it does affect the condo's value and desirability. Some repairs that we didn't report to mgmt during our stay: hall bath shower door needs to be secured to the bottom rail. Primary bath toilet is loose at the floor; ice maker works sometimes. Considering the nightly rate all furnishing need to be updated including living room, dining room and "taco" bed in the guest bedroom. The wrap around lanai furnishing could be better utilized. The unit doesn't need 2 dining room tables. Thanks for your hospitality.

The condo worked well for 2 couples. We cooked a lot and had good supplies for that. The view and proximity to the water was awesome. We watched surfers almost every day and even saw whales and dolphins.

We could not have found a better location for our family vacation in Kona. Perfect if you are looking for an ocean front condo. So much fun watching the surfers all day and the sunsets and crashing waves at night. Very clean, well stocked and perfect size for 4-5 people. It was also so nice to be able to prepare meals in the kitchen. We were very comfortable there and will no doubt be back. Parking is just below, making it easy to access your vehicle. Can’t wait to go back!

The Big Island and our stay at Banyan Tree 200 was the last leg of our vacation and the stay at the Banyan Tree complex was excellent. We love the smaller complex feel and the unit and view were outstanding. That full picture window when you walk in and see the waves and surfers right outside were amazing. The unit had everything that we needed and was a cozy and inviting place to come "home" to after a day of exploring the beautiful island. The location itself was great close to town, grocery stores and main roads to get around. We plan to return one day to the Big Island we we would once again stay at Banyan Tree complex.

The views are amazing. A/C made a world of difference. Yes, the public access to the beach is right there, and all sorts of people come and go. Hot tub was awesome and the waves after the storm this weekend were off the chart. So fun to watch the surfers. Seems to be a well known historical spot for the locals. My husband is a smoker and met some really cool people hanging out in that park. Everything was perfect - even the street noise from the back bedroom was not bad. Covered parking was so convenient and much appreciated along this strip. Conveniently located for access to Magics and the main town. Tracy and Kona Realty are so great to work with. Banyan Tree is THE place to BE!

We enjoyed our stay at the Banyan Tree. The condo had a wonderful view of the ocean with surfers riding the waves during our morning coffee on the Lanai. The management team was very responsive to our needs and recommended a great place the Coffee Shack where we ended up going twice.

The location of this condo was excellent. Right on the beach. We could watch the surfers right from our lanai. The only disappointing thing was the air conditioning. There was an A/C unit in the living room however there was no air conditioning in the master bedroom, just a overhead fan and standing fan and the second bedroom A/C was broken therefore they only had an overhead fan. The kitchen was well stocked. Furniture was comfortable. Beds were comfortable. I'd stay there again if they could get air conditioning in the bedrooms.

Our second stay and the view is still spectacular as soon as you walk in. Our first visit under new management and the condo was very tidy, very clean and well stocked. There are touches of new décor which are fresh and modern and we understand there is more to come now that travel is open to the owners after a two year hiatus due to the pandemic. The high surf advisory during our stay provided hours of entertainment of some of the best surfers on the Island. We love the atmosphere of this smaller boutique complex and have already booked to return next year.

This is an older property which has had some updates. It is an OUTSTANDING location and has a fantastic view - with a floor to ceiling window that is phenomenal. The wrap around deck was amazing to sit and watch the surfers. Parking was convenient and a huge plus!

This condominium was unbelievable, the beds were comfortable, air conditioning was wonderful. Well stocked with everything your heart could desire. Umpteen towels and beach towels and a fantastic stacked washer and dryer that played a little tune when turning off. The view from the lanai is completely perfect. My family loves the Pacific Ocean and here at Banyan Tree it is right there and utterly beautiful. We got to watch surfers all day long, and then every night was a breathtaking sunset. I am so in love with Banyan Tree, and Kailua Kona Hawaii, I will be back as quick as I can and am planning on two weeks!!!! Mahalo for everything.

The location was great; close to Kailua but not in the center of town where all the crowds were. You can sit on the balcony and watch the surfers each morning and evening.

We really enjoyed our stay here. There were five adults. 5th person took the pull-out couch. Plenty of room. Great to have two bathrooms. Beautiful views. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the surfers from our lanai every morning. Everything was well-supplied and very clean. We would definitely stay here again. Our only complaint was with the public beach access being right next to the bedroom windows, it did get quite noisy late at night and again early in the morning. But from reading previous reviews, we already knew that going in and just ran the fans that were provided which helped block the noise and I also brought a white noise machine with. Beautiful place!

The view out the front is one that makes your stay memorable. We loved sitting on the lanai watching the surfers every day. Clean and comfortable, extremely well appointed. Next to the unit is a public access area that is in use 24x7. You'll get some noise, smoke and some occasional ukelele serenading.

So fun watching the surfers right outside our lanai. You really can't get any closer to the breaking waves than this place. Not fancy, but very cozy beds! 5 Minutes to downtown Kona. 5 minutes Kahala'u and Keauhou!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo is beautiful, with a view second to none. We saw dolphins and turtles from our lanai, and of course surfers from sun up to sun down. The unit and the grounds were clean and well maintained. The only drawback (was that it was unusually hot, per some of the locals) that the air conditioning was only in one room, the 2nd bedroom. So it was pretty hot we spent a lot of time in the pool. I would definitely stay in this unit again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great Condo Experience. The unit was well stocked right down to the snorkel / beach equipment. It felt like a home away from home. The only reason for the 4-star rating was "neighbors". If you are a lite sleeper or go to bed early, this might not be the unit for you, pick one that ison the other end of building.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic location and great 5-star views. Perfect size unit for family of 4 or two couples. Loved opening up windows to bring in ocean breezes and sounds of waves breaking on the shore of popular surfing beach. Clean, comfortable unit.

This unit has great views of the water and is in a great location. Close to town and beaches. Be sure to note though that the 2nd bedroom is one full size bed, not a full plus twin as has been listed and shown in pix. Quite a surprise when we arrived. Had to head to Walmart to buy an air mattress for one of my teens to sleep on. Informed the mgmt company and they agreed to reimburse us the cost of the air mattress so all worked out fine in the long run.

Note: Vacancy calendar is approximate. Visit the owner/manager's reservation site to verify your dates.
