About this property
Spacious 2BR/2BA Condo - Ocean View, Above it All, Oceanside Pool and 3 Zone A/C
The Penthouse of Kona Shores awaits you! This spacious and luxurious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom corner condo is the crown jewel of Kona Shores, offering the largest living space at 1,000 sq ft. As the only 2 BR, 2 BA unit in the complex, it offers a level of exclusivity like no other.
From the moment you step through the front door, you’ll be greeted by a beautiful wood entry hall, leading you past a newly remodeled kitchen. The kitchen boasts a full-size refrigerator, gas stove, and pantry, as well as a coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven, and all the necessary dishes, pots, and pans to make cooking a breeze.
Just a step down from the kitchen, you'll enter a light-filled, open-concept living area, featuring a new queen size hide-a-bed couch and Roku TV to stream your favorite apps. Two large glass double sliding doors open to a wrap-around lanai, where you're treated to breathtaking views of lush palms, vibrant gardens, and a partial ocean view.
For your ultimate comfort, the unit is equipped with multi-zone, mini-split air conditioning, allowing you to adjust the temperature in each room independently. The best part? The air conditioning is ultra-quiet, maintaining a peaceful atmosphere while keeping you cool—whether you’re relaxing in the living area or enjoying the privacy of the bedrooms.
For restful nights and relaxation, the Master Bedroom offers a plush King-size bed and new furnishings. A glass sliding door opens directly to the lanai, allowing you to enjoy the gentle island breezes or the fresh smell of an overnight rain shower. The newly remodeled Master Bath features a spacious walk-in shower, a modern vanity with double sinks, and a new toilet.
The second bedroom, located at the opposite end of the unit for added privacy, has also been completely remodeled. It’s furnished with two twin beds, a chest of drawers, and a glass sliding door that leads out to the other end of the lanai. The ensuite bathroom has been fully updated with a stylish modern tub-shower combo, a new vanity and fixtures, offering both functionality and flair.
This top-floor unit offers peace and tranquility with no noise from above and new double-pane windows all around. Additionally, the condo comes with an assigned parking spot directly below the unit, eliminating the stress of searching for a spot. A commercial-style laundry area with pay-via-app capability is conveniently located downstairs.
Enjoy a BBQ and a swim at the oceanside pool, which offers arguably the best swimming spot along Ali’i Dr, complete with stunning views of breaking waves and unforgettable sunsets. The condo is situated in the northwest corner of the Kona Shores complex—farthest from the road and closest to the ocean—ensuring peace and privacy.
Please note that pets are not allowed, and smoking is prohibited in the unit or in the lanais. Your paradise awaits at 75-6008 Ali’i Dr., Kailua-Kona, HI 96740.

Aloha,
Thank you for your review and for staying at our little slice of paradise. We appreciate your stay and hope to see you back in the future.
Mahalo!
Great location, great layout for our family with two boys. They also provided a lot of extras like boogie boards and snorkels, masks, fins, coolers all which made the trip much easier. We didn’t have to worry about going to the beach and whether or not we’d have chairs or an umbrella or a cooler or anything. Pool has a wonderful view and great place to unwind after a busy day.

Aloha,
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and could use the extra items we provide with the condo! The Big Island is truly a special place. We hope you see you again soon!
Mahalo
Nice, clean, and spacious. Beautifully updated master bath and excellent location. It was a little far for some in our group to walk to town but there’s a coffee shop just next door and we enjoyed their smoothies. There’s also a beach walking distance. Love that the pool is saltwater. We saw whales one morning from the lanai so we walked down to the pool for a better view. Overall great stay and we’d definitely stay there again.

My family has returned to the 2BR upstairs condo at Kona Shores nearly every Christmas for 20 years. We continue to enjoy our stays. The recent interior remodel has improved the experience.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Condo was large, clean and comfortable. Very well stocked with everything you might need. Great coffee place a 5 min walk away. The pool & patio are was the perfect spot to watch the sunsets but the condo lanai was the highlight of our stay. Just perfect!
Loved our big lanai. It was quite and relaxing and we spent a lot of time just enjoying being able to sit on the lanai and relax and read. Something we can’t do in Alaska this time of year.

This place is huge! Very clean and nicely updated plus all stocked up - I love it when VRBO's have the correct coffee filters and ziplock bags. It's the little things.

Grandma and grandpa with 2 granddaughters. 2 bedrooms with private bath in each. Convenient to Kona and to beaches. Kids biked to town and visited the pool everyday. Great sunsets.
THIS WAS THE PERFECT STAY! Only regret was I didn’t book two weeks. Exactly as described. Picturesque lanai. Well stocked. Clean. Convenient to everything. Host was super responsive. High recommend!

This was a great location for our 3 week stay. Close to Kona, with lots of shops. Nice view of the ocean. The wrap-around porch was so nice; we ate our meals out there every day. The condo is a bit dated, and is in need of minor repairs, but all-in-all, we were very happy with the accommodations.
The unit was spacious—-the deck / patio went the entire length of the unit—-enormous and very enjoyable

About the host
Hosted by Glen
Glen is a retired business executive of biopharmaceutical companies. He has a pharmacy degree and an MBA. Growing up he participated in several sports and later focused on water-skiing, snorkeling, and back-packing. Glen was born in Santa Cruz, CA and attended college at UC Berkeley and UCSF. Glen earned his MBA at Harvard. Glen's most favorite vacations are to the family cabin in the Yosemite area and to Kona.
Jon, Glen's son, took a similar path, graduating from UC Davis with a degree in physiology. He started his career as a Biologist for Roche Bioscience. After earning a Master's degree in Biomedical Science and and MBA, Jon founded his own biopharmaceutical marketing strategy company, Life Science Strategy Group, LLC, in 2007. He shares the same passion for the outdoors as his father, spending much of his time with his wife and family in the Sierra Nevada mountains or in Kona.
Why they chose this property
Over the years Glen traveled to Hawaii many times, mainly Oahu, Maui, and Kauai with his wife Ginny. Glen has traveled to several Hawaii islands and has owned a time-share in Waikiki, a lovely condo at Poipu Beach in Kauai, and several vacation and long-term condos on the Big Island. His favorite place to visit became Hawaii for the sports (e.g., snorkeling), sites all over the island, variety of scenery, birds, and the fact that this island is still largely undiscovered by mass tourism.
Jon, having traveled to Kona with Glen and family numerous times since childhood has also fallen in love with the Big Island too. It's only natural that he is continuing on to help manage and maintain the family condo in Kona.
What makes this property unique
Glen and Jon have stayed at Kona Shores annually since 1985 (now over 30 years). They love the privacy of the North wing of this complex. In 1998 the lovely northwest, first floor, corner unit became available. Glen had seen it while helping a renter fix screens. He was lucky enough to buy this unit. He loves the open, spacious, above it all, good partial ocean view impact of the unit and the very private location within the complex. (This unit was built by the original contractor for Kona Shores for himself; he also built the special corner unit below, reportedly for one of his relatives).
