About this property
Kona Makai 1-301 DIRECT OCEANFRONT, TOP FLOOR, BEST CORNER IN KONA MAKAI!
Kona Makai #1-301 is arguably the BEST condo in the entire complex! Being the top floor corner in building 1, the location is undeniably too perfect. Private & upgraded, this is direct oceanfront condo living at its finest. You can't get a better view than this at the Kona Makai. The amazing oceanfront wrap around lanai is truly stunning!
The amazing view is not all that this condo has to offer; the elegant finishes and attention to detail can be seen throughout the interior of the property. Enjoy the beautifully upgraded & fully stocked kitchen complete with granite counter tops & stainless steel appliances. The master bedroom has ocean views and access to the wrap around lanai. The guest bedroom also has access to the wrap around lanai and both bedrooms do have AC units allowing for maximum comfort! Both bathrooms have been upgraded and well appointed. The living room has a sleeper sofa as well. This condo truly has everything you'll need to relax in paradise!
We're more than proud to be representing 1-301.
The Owners of the unit in January 2024 made some great updates!
