About this property

Oceanfront living - Floor to Ceiling wall of glass

Enjoy oceanfront condo living with all the amenities and added comforts of home. Included is an in-unit washer/dryer, full kitchen, reserved parking space, beach and snorkeling gear, WiFi, cable TV, and A/C. Experience one of the BEST unobstructed ocean views and wake up to the sounds of crashing waves that will melt your worries away. The perfect spot for honeymooners, couples, families and anniversary celebrations.

Upon walking into the 1200 ft condo, the floor to ceiling glass wall welcomes you with unobstructed breathtaking views of the ocean. Open the sliding glass doors and allow the fresh, salty ocean air hit your face. Take indoor-outdoor living to the next level with the covered lanai where you can sit and watch beautiful sunsets, whales breaching, world class surfers, and dolphins.

Feel free to enjoy the hot tub, pool, and outdoor BBQ grill.

I am available 24/7 via email, text, or phone. Since I live locally, I am available to meet you at the condo if you prefer. There is also an emergency Banyan Tree Hotline for guests to use.

Banyan Tree #204 is one of the only 20 condo units in the building which offers you privacy and serenity that many other buildings cannot offer. No need to fight crowds for a lounge chair at the pool or having extended wait times for the elevator. Next door to the building is the famous Banyans surf spot where you can spend your days watching local surfers hit the waves. Across the street, there is the local convenience store called Banyan Mart. For big box stores, the condo is a short drive from Target, Walmart, Safeway, KTA and Costco.

Banyan Tree is located on the famous Alii Drive which is a popular running/walking route in Kona. The condo is located about 3 miles south of the center of Kailua Kona and 3.5 miles north of Keauhou. Renting a vehicle is necessary to take in all the beauty The Big Island has to offer. A reserved covered parking space is included.

*Enjoy a care-free beach day at one of the many beaches the Big Island has to offer with included packable beach chairs and umbrella, cooler, beach towels, sand toys, and snorkeling gear.*Guests have access to the outdoor pool, BBQ grills, outdoor hot tub, and shared common area on the 2nd floor.*Assigned, covered parking is included

We had a wonderful 5-day stay at this beautiful waterfront condo near Kona! The location was perfect—peaceful, right on the ocean, and close to great beaches, restaurants, and shopping. Watching sunsets from the lanai was a highlight, and we were lucky enough to spot whales passing by—such a special experience.The condo was spotless, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, easy parking, and great communication from the hosts.This was the perfect home base for exploring the Big Island, and we would happily stay here again. Highly recommend!

The view is spectacular! The place is spacious and comfortable. Don't let the icky elevator fool you (it's smelly and damp). Although we could never get in the front door on the first try with our code everything else worked. We did go buy some softer toilet paper though LOL. Great place to relax and watch the surfers and sunsets.

So much better than the pictures!

We’re a family of 4 with kids ages 8 and 11. The property was large enough for all of us to feel comfortable. The view and lanai are priceless, in addition the pool and location are perfect. It’s on a well used morning running route plus it’s a quick drive from shaved ice, restaurants and snorkeling. We loved our mornings watching the surfers and the sunsets were lovely as well. Hopefully we’ll return someday.

Breathtaking views and a memorable vacation!

This property was wonderful for our family of four! Aside from the amazing, breathtaking views that are even more stunning than the photos, the property is just off the beaten path. Away from the hustle and bustle of the major hotels and restaurants but, close enough to enjoy everything. The property is quiet and casual which fit our family’s needs for this special vacation. We even had friends visit us and they preferred this property over their own resort. The host was great also, friendly, communicative and even took the time to show us that there was a pack and play crib already there. They also fixed the WiFi mid visit! We had an amazing time and we didn’t want to leave. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

Absolutely best ocean view

Overlooking a rugged beach. Great surfers just out our lanai. Best beach and snorkeling equipment ever offered. Comfortable beds. Only complaint was with the barbecues. They never worked well. The condo association really needs to invest in brand new barbecues.

Amazing Views

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.

Lovely Unit, Incredible View

Unit is well situated about 1 mile south of downtown Kona. The unit is well furnished and appointed with anything you might need. The surfers directly outside your windows provide unending entertainment. Parking in Kona is outrageously expensive, about $20 / hr. Most restaurants in the Coconut Grove complex provide complimentary parking. Call wherever you are going to inquire if they offer parking.

Fantastic stay! The ocean is right there.

The condo was comfortable and well-furnished. We had a party of five adults, and everyone had a place to sleep. Jennifer was very kind and arranged for an airbed for our last-minute family member; the airbed was double-height with a built-in electric pump and very comfortable.The ocean is right outside the lanai; it was fascinating to watch the surfers. We stayed during February, which is winter in Hawaii just as it is on the mainland, so surf was too rough for the casual swimmer; the view was spectacular, though.One note: if you have 6 ft tall-plus members of your party, the facilities were great to accommodate their height - no having to crouch under shower heads. Lots of fun beach accessories in the condo, like boogie boards and snorkels; the kitchen appliances were clean and in perfect working order; the washer-dryer combo was easy to work and did a great job on our laundry.Five stars! Would stay again!

Best location for watching sunsets!

The accommodations were comfortable for 4 adults. The location was excellent - short drive to Kona town to the north, but far enough away from the touristy area to feel like a local. Nice little 10 min. walk to a small beach, though not for swimming. The pool was very nice; hot tub was too warm and very chlorinated. View from the room was amazing! Surfers from dawn to dusk were great entertainment. The sunsets - too beautiful to describe. Dryer has only one temp - HOT! so hung clothes to dry. Housecleaning was mediocre. Host was great!

Fabulous view with constant sound of waves

Our family very much enjoyed our stay. Gorgeous view of the black lava rock shore, of the ocean, and sunsets. The sounds of the beating waves were relaxing, as was watching the surfers from sunrise to sunset. You can occasionally see brightly colored fish in the waves. Peaking over the sea wall and seeing loads of crabs run about was fun too. We didn't need a TV, we could just watch the action from the windows. Great location near great beaches and restaurants. Easy drive to sites around the island. I really appreciated that the condo came fully loaded with necessities including shampoo, TP, paper towels, laundry detergent etc. It was nice not to need to purchase those. I also really loved the clothes washer/dryer combo. I did not know that there was such a machine that can both wash and dry clothes. Loved it!

A View Unmatched

To peer outside this condo and hear the waves crash is hypnotic. You can’t get any closer to the shore as you sit on the lanai and drink your morning coffee or your evening cocktail. The lanai is a bit tight but we could sit as a family of 4 and enjoy dinner. The condo is a perfect size for 2 weeks. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of beach equipment available. My kids loved that they had full beds in the second bedroom. Beds were very comfy. We had a small electrical hiccup upon arrival but Jennifer was transparent and diligent. It was fixed by Monday, with no problems the remainder of our trip. The pool area is basic, wish we had 2 pool keys so individual family members could go back and forth. Loved watching the surfers and glancing out for whales!! Perfect location to drive to Kona Proper, short drive to and from the airport, and harbor. We would rent the unit again.

Waves crashing & wonderful sunsets

The view does not disappoint with the water so close and the waves crashing over the rocks making the most amazing experience. I also had amazing pictures from sunsets and sunrises each and every day . We saw fish each day, as well as rock crabs, and even turtles one night - all from the Lanai! The location is close to town and you're right off the main road. You'd think you'd hear road noise but you don't for 99% of the cars. The kitchen was well stocked and people seem to leave most items behind to share it forward. People also leave behind sunscreen as there were a few different bottles in the cabinet. My reason for 4 stars instead of five is because under their guest beds were extremely dirty, the master bathroom seat cover was hanging by a thread and ultimately broke, and there was a small pee smell around our master toilet and a sewer smell at times that wafted in our room from outside. We ran the bathroom fan almost 24/7 in the master bath which seemed to work to keep the smell out and kept our front door closed. I would have liked more bathroom towels and an extra kitchen towel but nothing we couldn't live without by any means. I'm just writing the nitpicky stuff in hopes that the owners get their cleaners dialed in a little more for under the beds and around the toilet bases. Honestly, all the rest of the pro's out weighed the cons!

Great view condo.

The location of this condo is the highlight. It sits at a corner which gives you a view down the beach. It is located in front of a popular surfing spot so you can watch the surfers as you eat your breakfast. The condo is really nicely equipped including lots of beach supplies. The kitchen is also fully equipped. The condo complex is small and quiet.
