Beautiful condo with a spectacular view from the Lanai. We saw lots of whales and dolphins! Great location in walking distance to many restaurants and shops.
Host did an outstanding job of making sure we were well informed. Property has a million dollar view from the front Lanai. Beds are comfortable and the Grill down by the pool area worked well for grilling stakes
This condo was exactly as listed. Easy check in, fantastic location in Kona, and fully stocked to make your holiday comfortable. Loved the lanai, beds were comfortable and I would stay here again anytime.
This property has beautiful views of the ocean and is in close proximity to several restaurants. Check in was easy and the place was CLEAN! I would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay in the condo. The view was great, space was clean and plentiful! Really enjoyed the slowed down atmosphere of Kona and did a ton of exploring the island with this as our home base.
We enjoyed five nights in the condo. The property was as described and very clean. We really enjoyed the beautiful sunsets from the front balcony. Would definitely stay again!Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.
Spectacular time in a perfect place on the Big Island!!
Excellent location, all amenities close-by with well stocked condo, good quality appliances, comfortable and roomy, beautiful views with ocean right out doorstep, lovely pool...market 2 mins away...fresh fruit, macadamia nuts, Coffee, chocolate..yay!!!Love, love this place!! Mahalo
This is a wonderful property! Clean, comfortable, and location was the best!! We would most certainly stay here again. It had all the amenities. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful unit with us!!
Our stay at this property was great. The location couldnt be better. The view was amazing. The property was very clean and the host was great. We would definitely stay here again when visiting the big island.
This condo was an excellent choice for our Hawaii vacation. Close to all the restaurants and shops. Beautiful views from the lanai. Thanks Brett and Diane for sharing your place with us.
Amazing views from this condo! We loved sitting on the balcony overlooking the water and just listening to the waves. The spotting scope was great for observing all the boat/swimmer traffic in the bay. Thouroughly enjoyed out stay.
We had an amazing stay at the Punahele Penthouse. The view and ocean sounds from the lanai were incredible. The condo is in a perfect location to explore Kona and the island. The condo is stocked with everything you would ever need, including beach gear. The condo is cared for by the owners, we felt so welcome it was like we were renting from family. Thank you again, Diane and Brett, we can’t wait to return.
My BFF and I came to celebrate her 70th birthday and this was just magnificent the most beautiful location the most incredible views the set up was absolutely five star and we couldn’t asked for more!
This was the perfect choice for our vacation. The condo was comfortable and clean, with plenty of room for everyone to unpack and relax. With the reserved parking spot, fully equipped kitchen, laundry room, and wi-fi we had everything we needed to live comfortably and come and go easily. The location is an easy walk to some great restaurants and shopping. The closet full of beach supplies was especially helpful for our trips to the beach. When we were not out exploring the island, we especially loved sitting on the lanai enjoying the views and sounds of the ocean. The only thing better than a great condo? Wonderful owners. We reached out with a couple of questions, and found the owners to be responsive and helpful. They went above and beyond in providing us with some great tips about favorite beeches, dining, and other activities on the island. Thanks for helping make this a fantastic vacation for my family.
I was very lucky to have found this condo! My mom lived in Kona for 30 years and we come back to visit. Two years ago we stayed at another condo which was lovely, but small. We took a chance on something different and so glad we did. They thought of everything at this condo!! Anything we needed they had. Any question we had they got back right away. The location can’t be beat, in the middle of Alii. I recommend this property to everyone!!
Our family loved our second stay at this condo. The lanai is a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee or watching the sunset and everything between! The condo location is great for walking to restaurants. The condo is beautifully maintained and well stocked for a lovely time on the Big Island.
We used Kona Style for two excursions Kealakekua Snorkel and Sail and Sunset and Manta Ray Snorkel. Both excursions were fantastic! One great aspect to Kona Style is that you can walk (15 min) from the condo to the boat since it departs from Kailua Bay.
If you go to beach 69, we enjoyed malasadas from a food truck which are made to order. They are delicious!
I highly recommend this condo for a trip to the Big Island. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a really nice property. Nice layout on the main floor and a huge loft with a California king bed, a 55” TV and a refrigerator. Nice touches include an air printer for printing with your devices and a terrific smart TV with hundreds of channels and dozens of apps, allowing you to sign in with your credentials to watch from your playlists.The view is fantastic with a full ocean view and a very nice lanai. The loft has a mountain lanai overlooking the pool area.The owners are a dream to work with. Very helpful and accommodating. Only drawbacks are minor. The parking space is a bit tight. I would recommend nothing larger than an intermediate sized vehicle. Also, while oceanfront property, Ali’i Drive is between the condo building and the water and there are bars nearby, both of which create noise that is sometimes annoying.All in all, I would not hesitate to stay here again.
This VRBO exceeded my expectations. It was the perfect location. We took a couple of day trips to the other side of the island and when we got back home we could park the car and just walk to anywhere else we wanted to go. No reason to pay for parking anywhere else because the location was within walking distance to wherever you wanted to go. The place was fully stocked and very clean. Loved that they had inflatables, snorkels, beach mats, etc in the beach closet. They left us a little coffee and macadamia treats. It was just a friend and I staying and I felt we had a lot of room and privacy. So nice! Highly recommend!!!
We recently stayed for 2 weeks at this awesome 7th floor penthouse. The views off the 1st floor balcony ar breath taking. I sat many mornings drinking coffee and just staring at the water. Unfortunately there are a ridiculous amount of homeless people that stay along the waters edge right below the building across the street.
Some pros about this condo is it was very clean and completely stocked with everything you'd need, even down to reusable grocery bags, and the location was perfect. There were a couple of small things that I feel could make this place even better. One very inconvenient thing was there were not glass or microwaveable plates to reheat leftovers. Also the coffee maker would shut off after brewing the pot and then the coffee would get cold quickly. We would try turning it back on to warm coffee but it would quickly shut off. This may have been user error, but irritated my husband to no end bc he drinks lots of coffee.
The one other thing is the dryer. It took forever to dry a load and I mean 2-3 hours just for one cycle and then sometimes a second cycle was needed. I put the settings as the directions stated and it still took forever. We'd get home from a late day and I'd wash clothes, but if we needed beach towels again for the next day, I'd have to stay up super late or set my alarm to wake me back up to restart the dryer if needed. Not ideal when wanting to rest on vacation. Overall the pros completely outweigh cons and I would suggest staying here.
