About this property
Oceanfront Penthouse, As Close As You Can Stay To Ocean, Stunning Views, A/C!
Banyan Tree Penthouse Condo 402 is a spacious, ocean front condo with an ocean view that will leave you breathless. Located on the quiet 4th floor, penthouse level yet so close to the water that you can actually look down and see tropical fish like the yellow tang! Sea turtles, spinner dolphins, humpback whales (when in season) and surfers often entertain you by day and the surf will lull you to sleep each night. The living room features floor to ceiling windows that look as though the ocean is coming inside! The private, tiled lanai is the perfect place to enjoy your coffee in the morning or to have a cocktail and watch a picture perfect sunset in the evening.
Inside you’ll find all the comforts of home. The oceanfront master bedroom has a comfy king bed and the second bedroom a queen and twin so the unit comfortably sleeps four. The fully stocked kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to make meals or prepare for the perfect "sunset happy hour"! Enjoy two flat screen TV’s with over 200 channels, a DVD library, Bluetooth speaker for your tunes and free WiFi. Beach towels, chairs, boogie boards, coolers and an umbrella are supplied for your beach days. Pack fewer clothes for your trip if you like because of the full size Maytag washer and dryer. Air conditioning is throughout the condo to keep you cool on those warmer Kona days!
The Banyan Tree is a small, well-kept complex with only 20 units so it never feels crowded. The property is located as close as you can get to the Pacific Ocean. In fact new construction is no longer allowed to be as close to the ocean as Banyan Tree. The ocean front pool has mesmerizing views and plenty of comfortable lounge chairs. Barbecue grills and a hot tub are also poolside. A spacious veranda on the second floor with amazing views is available to all Banyan Tree guests for entertaining. Directly next door is a small, sandy beach where the locals access the Banyan Surf site, a famed stretch of water in front of the condo known for fantastic surfing and boogie boarding.
Banyan Tree is centrally located on the sunny side of the Big Island in Kailua-Kona. Top rated restaurants like the Poke Shack and local farmers markets are minutes away. Downtown Kona, with galleries and shops is less than three miles. Historic Alii drive, which is great for ocean walks, is right out the back door. Ready for the beach? Magic Sands Beach is less than a mile away. Kahalu'u Beach is only two miles and has easy snorkeling where you can get up-close to beautiful reefs and abundant sea life. It's also a great place to learn to surf. Postcard perfect beaches such as Hapuna Beach and Kua Bay are to the north and Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park and Captain Cooks monument lie to the south. Also to the south is Two Step Beach, located near Pu’u Honua O Honaunau National Historic Park, which is a perfect snorkeling spot to explore the crystal clear waters of Kona’s coast. Since Banyan Tree is located about halfway up the Kona coast you can easily drive to either end of the island. When you're done just park in your designated parking stall and take the elevator to your penthouse retreat! This is an ocean lover's dream, we hope you visit soon!

Check in was easy with clear instructions. Location of property was incredible - as close to the shoreline as you can get. Would definitely stay here again on next trip to Big Island.
Absolutely perfect! Beautiful place. We really enjoyed our stay. Great location and had everything we needed. Loved being able to watch the surfers and the fish from the very comfortable sofas or the balcony. Pool and hot tub were great as well. Would highly recommend!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay. We took in the whole island, and the location was perfect. It was very relaxing sotting on the couch or lanai watching the surfers after being out all day. We didn’t use any cookware, so I can’t speak to that, but the cups, plates and silverware were all plentiful which we appreciated. We would 100% stay here again.

Mahalo Jody for the kind review. The location is very convenient to explore the island. We do hope you stay with us again!
Absolutely wonderful! We had everything we needed, and enjoyed watching the surfers from the Lanai with our coffee in the morning. There were also some days where the water was so clear we could use our binoculars to see fish.Highly recommended!
Beautiful ocean views with surfers and fish right out front! The pool & hot tub were great and so clean. The grounds and condo were immaculate. Close to Kona with lots of great restaurants and shopping. Location is perfect for any activities you want to do. We will be back!
The property location and comfort was top notch!The owners were most accommodating and answered quickly! I loved watching the surfers from the Comfort of the living room! Kitchen was most convenient and beds were comfortable! So close to the water and not a high rise!

Mahalo for the kind words. We hope you made many great memories and will come back to this special place on your next visit to the Big Island.
Really good location to restaurants, shops & markets. We luv’d being so close to the water. Grills were nice also. The unit itself was real nice. Kitchen was nicely appointed. We had some internet/TV issues. The owners were on top of everything and very pleasant during this issue. We’d stay again.

Aloha! We agree the location to activities is very convenient and of course the ocean is right below you. So glad Spectrum was able to quickly stop by and replace their router that was acting up. Hope you visit again soon!
The views are all they’re made out to be and more! Spacious, comfy, smartly equipped and so convenient. We loved the lanai, the thoughtful room partition, and the kitchen with spices and seasonings on hand (as well as coffee—bless you for that). We walked to nearby beaches, food trucks, and markets. Downtown Kailua Kona was a short drive away. Location was wonderful!PRO TIP: Don’t use Google Maps. We learned the hard way that it is not the most trustworthy map service for locating the property, as well as other attractions on Kona side. Lesson learned!Will most certainly have to book this gem again!
Beautiful condo. Secure building. Amazing views. Close to restaurants, beaches, shopping. Couldn't have had a better place to stay in Kailua Kona. Will definitely be back!
The accommodations were clean and well supplied. Fitted sheets would make the bed more comfortable. Views were fantastic.

Mahalo for the review Rosalie. We are happy you enjoyed your stay and agree the views are fantastic. I'm sorry you did not find the fitted sheets. My cleaners always place clean bedding on each bed including a fitted sheet. If you would have notified me, I could have told you where to find extras as we keep several sets in the unit, or I could have had my cleaner stop by.
We hope you stay with us again,
Kim
We absolutely loved this condo! The spectacular views did not disappoint! The unit had everything we needed for an amazing stay in Kailua-Kona. Coolers, beach chairs, beach towels, and so many other items made our stay great. Beds were very comfortable. The pool is right on the ocean and offered a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Unit was clean, and in a great location. We will definitely be looking forward to a future stay!
It was our first time to Kona. The view is amazing and in a great location. Our family enjoyed having everything we needed for the beach available. Can’t beat the sunsets! Would definitely stay there again!
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!

About the host
Hosted by Kim & Jon Bourgain
We are the Bourgain's from Littleton, Colorado and welcome to our "happy place"! We have been traveling to the Hawaiian islands for over 20 years. After spending time on all the islands we decided the Big Island was our favorite! It seems more laid back and to us more like we envision 'old Hawaii' When we take a beach vacation we always try to find properties where we can see the ocean from our condo and the pool. When we saw Banyan Tree it was the perfect fit!
Why they chose this property
We stayed at the Banyan Tree condos and were blown away by the views, the proximity to the ocean and how private it was. We also liked how it is centrally located on the Kona coast so it doesn't take long to go to the north or south end of the island. It's also right in the middle of many of the best restaurants, markets and shopping on the island. Now that we own Banyan Tree Penthouse #402 we can honestly say we are even more impressed by the attention to detail that is paid to maintain and improve the property for the benefit of the guests. We also love being on the top floor, the views are hard to believe and it's so quiet with no one above you.
What makes this property unique
Direct Ocean Front. You simply can't stay any closer to the ocean. You're on the quiet top floor but still so close to the beautiful water. You won't find a beautiful pool any closer to the ocean. This is an ocean lover's paradise!
