Really fantastic view from the wall of windows facing the ocean! Easy to access, great location in Kona town. Bonus of having access to a car for our entire stay. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely quiet and serene except for the noise you want to hear - the sound of surf.

Banyon Tree 200 has an extraordinary view that we enjoyed very much. The facility was clean and comfortable. HOWEVER, BE AWARE.........the central part of the condo is elevated. So, there is a sunjen living room area WITH STEPS and the bedroom area is also sunken WITH STEPS. Not sure why....very unusual. Although there are not a lot of steps, they can be an issue for those with mobility or vision issues. We have both and we were really very mindful of navigating these two areas our entire time. We loved the wrap-around lanai and used the area quite a bit. Also, be aware that you are right next to a small park. Most of the time that was not an issue, but at some times the marijuana and noise was quite pronounced. The great thing, however, is that the unit has some air-conditioning (living area and guest bedroom) so we often closed our windows and sliding doors. The kitchen has more spices than I have in my spice drawer! Again, the pluses outnumbered the minuses for sure!

This was our third time at this unit and it’s always beautiful and the view is awesome! From the surfers to the whales and the giant waves we had on our last day, it can’t be beat!

We had a great stay at the condo with everything we could have asked for. The sunset views, surfer activity and whale watching right off the balcony were incredible. Having beach gear was a nice touch. We would highly recommend this condo for future visits to Kona. The pictures and descriptions were highly accurate.

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!

Our stay was absolutely perfect. Location was great - close enough to the shops and restaurants but not right in the thick of it so the condo is pure peace. The beds were very comfy and our family appreciated the 2 full baths and the full size laundry communication with the host was prompt we appreciated his list of recommendations. It was a great visit

My family and I loved staying at this condo. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking diverse meals, the beach supplies got much use, and the location right on the ocean was excellent. Convenient and ample parking in a garage below the condos was a nice surprise as well!

We could've used some more paper products like at least one extra paper towel roll and more than one extra toilet paper roll, and more dishwasher detergent. We didn't find any beach towels and bath towels were limited. Otherwise I get not wasting a lot of soap etc. parking and check out was easy. We loved sitting on lanai and watching surfers. The cleaning smell was too strong on arrival.

This was an excellent condo for me and my elderly parents. We spent hours enjoying watching the waves and surfers from the living room chairs and couch. The location made us feel as if we were near the action as the adjacent beach was heavily used by locals and tourists. The amenities were great, the condo was clean, and the contacts at Kona Beach Properties were very responsive.

I can't say enough good things about this place! It has everything you need, from snorkeling gear to sunblock. I've stayed at many places and this is by far the best. I was amazed by how well-stocked everything was. Having a washer and dryer was a huge plus, and the kitchen/Bathrooms had everything we needed. Even the soap bar was thoughtfully provided, along with plenty of essentials.The location is incredibly convenient and offers a stunning ocean view. The sound of the waves greets you as soon as you walk in. it’s so relaxing. My family enjoyed every moment, and it was hard to leave. We’re already planning to book this place again the next time we visit Kona.

Great property. Very well cared for and very well equipped. Communication with owner was very good - he was super responsive both before and during the stay. Check in was smooth and easy. Unit was spotless on arrival and is exactly as described - with a great lanai right on the water. Furniture and beds were all comfortable. We really enjoyed watching the surfers and sunsets. The building is small and well maintained. Everyone was quiet and friendly. The pool was never busy and great to sit out beside the ocean or for a quick swim. The location is perfect for exploring the island - short drive to many different activities and in to town for restaurants at night. Overall we highly recommend this unit and Kyle. Thankyou!

Among the three ocean front rentals in 3 islands, this is a truely living on the edge of the sea experience. Reno is complete yet comfortable. Supply is plenty. This is our first vacation at Hawaii, so we spent majority of the time outdoors, hence, not had opportunity to use what this resort has to offer. In the future, we definitely want to stay in the place longer and enjoy it more. Love the stay!

This Kailua-Kona condo has breathtaking ocean views with surfers at the crack of dawn and at sun down. Views were truly worth a million dollars. Location - just minutes from the main strip, with easy access to shopping & dining.
While the condo is somewhat dated & presents an incredible opportunity for some renovations, but the stunning views can make up for the areas that are lacking within the condo. The bldg grounds were well kept and also had stunning views by the pool.

We loved staying at this very special oceanfront complex. The unit was a bit dated but the price was right for our 10 day stay! Kona Coffee on the Lanai is the best as the sun appears on the ocean. The view fantastic for sunsets, watching surfers, paddlers and ocean surprises …dolphins. Would have loved to see a whale or two, but our stay was a bit early for whale season. Yes, recommend this unit during winter months as there is no a/c.

We had 2 couples for our week long stay and we all had a great time! We especially loved the mornings on the lanai and watching surfers every morning and evening. There’s a little tiny beach right next door which took us a 4 days to discover. Wish we had found it sooner as it has nice shade trees and a beautiful view as well, and the lanai can get pretty hot in the afternoon sun.
The condo is older, with corrosion from the salt air, but is clean. The ocean waves crash against the barrier wall in the mornings so it’s difficult to keep the big windows clean from the salty ocean spray, but you can’t beat that view!
Both king beds were comfortable, which is my top priority. The condo had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again

Happy to have stayed here.
The property manager was very communicative and accommodating. Sliding room divider is slightly difficult to open and closed. View was beautiful however the patio is in the smaller side so cannot lounge on the patio and there is no night lights and so cannot read on the patio at night. Overall we would book again.

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!.

Each morning, we walked into the living room and proceeded to count how many surfers were out. If the sun was out, so were the surfers. The view is breathtaking. It knocked me off my feet! The home was perfect with every amenity you could ask for. We feel so incredibly lucky we chose to stay here. It was just perfect.

We were in Kona for the Ironman (October) and chose this location and apartment as it catered for our needs of double bed and two singles (party of four).
The location was ideal for training and getting into Kona for shops, food and relaxing. It's a 5min drive into Kona town or a 40 minute direct walk down Ali'i Drive.
Highlight has to be the ocean views, waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying breakfast on the balcony watching the early morning surfers & dolphins swimming by.
In the evening the sunsets were truly breathtaking from the balcony.
The apartment itself was clean and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a stay in Kona, from snorkels to well stocked kitchen cupboards. Everything was provided for.
Dana fully informed us of all aspects of the apartment & facilities (inc pool & hot tub). As we had a hire car, the apartment allocated parking spot was an added benefit.
The complex as a whole was kept very clean and we regularly saw the attendant servicing the pool and outdoor communal areas.
Nearby there is a fresh fruit market, places to eat and public beaches, all within a 5 minute walk. The hop-on hop-off bus stop is very nearby too.
Thank you to Dana for making us feel welcome and we truly enjoyed a magical stay.

Literally just steps from the ocean! The lanai overlooks the ocean, and it was fun watching the surfers and the beautiful sunsets! The condo was very clean, and our host was very kind, giving clear instructions. Very happy we chose this condo based upon it’s location!!!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. The location was great with access to shopping, restaurants and various beaches. The condo itself was pretty basic but it had everything we needed. The only downside for our group was that it's not a very kid friendly place and we had several kids in our group. They were excited to play in the pool but the rules about noise and activities are really strict. For that reason only, we probably wouldn't come back to this place unless it was only adults on the trip.

Great property with phenomenal view of the ocean! Excellent location not too close to the main Kailua Kona town. Convenient to restaurants, shopping, beaches. Cool little public beach right next to the property. Not a resort-type atmosphere - quiet. Condo was equipped with everything we needed and was clean. Management communicated very well. So glad we chose this location!

Wonderful property! Beautiful setting right on the ocean, could not be closer unless you were in the water! Lanai is great for watching surfers, parasailing, paddle boarding, having coffee or a cocktail while watching a beautiful sunset. Great location, well equipped kitchen, bathrooms great, bedrooms great, beds wonderfully comfortable, awesome pillows. Easy in and out, close to most everything. Cindy readily available for any questions. I have used 5-6 Vrbos over the last couple years. While I have not been disappointed in any of them, this is definitely the best! 5+ stars!

The view was amazing. There are surfers out there every morning. We spent hours just watching them. We were able to see turtles coming in to shore several times. The condo is very well stocked with all of the necessities plus any beach gear you could possibly want. The king bed was very comfortable also. We ordered take out every night and brought it back to eat on the balcony so we could watch the sunset. The location was about 10 to 15 minutes drive from the restaurants and stores, but far enough away from the busy areas. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Wow, what an incredible stay! This condo is truly a slice of paradise. The recent remodel is gorgeous, and the ocean views from the wrap-around lanai are absolutely breathtaking—you feel like you’re right on the water! We loved starting our mornings with coffee while watching surfers and sea turtles, and the sunsets were simply magical.
The kitchen is a chef’s dream, stocked with everything we needed and more. The beds were heavenly, and the decor was stylish and modern. We also appreciated all the beach extras—snorkel gear, chairs, and toys—that made our days on the beach so easy and fun!
The location couldn’t be better, with amazing dining, shopping, and adventures nearby. From manta ray dives to exploring tide pools, this place has it all. We can’t wait to come back and experience it all over again. If you’re looking for the perfect Hawaiian getaway, look no further—this is it!
Don’t hesitate on this one, it’s a new listing, but it is 5 stars!

Enjoyed our stay in this condo. Fabulous views and ocean sounds. Pool area nice, small beach access next to condo. Would stay again and recommend to others. Would recommend to get a bit more plates and wine glasses in the unit. Enjoyed the sights and sounds of the ocean most of all.

Our host, Holly, was very accommodating and our 11-night stay was just fabulous to say the least! We already miss waking up to the sound of ocean front waves and sipping our morning Kona coffee out on the balcony while gazing into the rising sun over the horizon. Overall, the condo was stocked well with everything you need while traveling, and the kitchen was fantastic for our extended vacation there, plus it was so convenient to have access to a dedicated washer and dryer. The beds and living room furniture were very comfortable, the AC unit worked beautifully, we loved how peaceful this condo complex felt, and it was great to see they were actively working to improve the grounds around the property. Highly recommended! We look forward to our future visit!

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.

We stayed at two different oceanfront rentals in Kona. This had the best location for a relaxing experience. The peacefulness and view of the location was unbelievable. I don’t think there are many places like it in Hawaii. All you could see was ocean and lots of surfers. Place was small but adequate. Pool was nice and private. Plenty of sun. Owner was great to coordinate with. All around great experience. I wwould stay here again.
but adequate. Living room

This property was great. It was just as described and shown in the photos. My wife and I stayed here on our first trip to Hawaii (Big Island). The property was right on the water where we had spectacular views to include daily surfers, crashing waves, and beautiful sunsets. We had all the amenities needed to make our stay comfortable. This was definitely a great "home base" as we explored the Big Island during our 10-day trip.
The communication with the owner was flawless. We received all the information we needed concerning the property in a timely manner and had no need to contact her with any concerns during our stay. I would highly recommend this property if you are planning a trip/stay in the Kona area.
