About this property

**AWESOME 7TH FLOOR PENTHOUSE CONDO - OCEAN, SUNRISE & SUNSET VIEWS**

Punahele Penthouse Condo will fast become your favorite place to stay in Kailua-Kona! Punahele Penthouse is on the 7th (top) floor of the Kona Ali'i Condo Complex which is located in the heart of Kailua-Kona. You're within walking distance to many attractions, restaurants/bars and shops! Next door there's even a volleyball sand pit! A short walk of about 2 blocks to the Farmer's Market & Kona Inn Shopping Village and about 4 blocks to Hulihe'e Palace and the start of the famous Iron Man race. After a day of exploring all that the Big Island has to offer, come home to relaxation - sit on the lanai, with a favorite spirit in hand, listen to the crashing of the ocean waves while watching people, perhaps dolphins & whales at play in the bay and witness the most breath taking sunset to end your day.

Our stay here was amazing. The unit had everything we needed from cooking to beach supplies. The view from the lanai was breath taking. Restaurants and shops were right below us and we were only a couple minutes away from the snorkeling adventures we had. We will definitely stay here again if we come in the future.

We had an incredible experience at this beautifully decorated condo in Kona! The location was ideal—close to everything yet peaceful and relaxing. The lanai was our favorite spot, offering stunning sunset views and a refreshing breeze every evening. The owner was exceptionally responsive and made sure everything was perfect throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our Hawaiian adventure. Highly recommend!

Pros: Great location, great view. Overall nice place. Great communication with owners.Cons: Tight parking for larger trucks/SUVs, loud vehicle engines/music in street below periodically interrupt tranquility, minor maintenance issues with blinds/patio door locks. Pre-cooling unit prior to check-in would be nice.

Wow, loved this place! Very clear directions on getting to the unit and how to access the property. The condo was exceptionally clean and well stocked. Having all the beach toys and accessories really came in handy too. If you’re staying in Kailua-Kona this is the best location, close to tourist shops but also regular grocery stores. 100% recommend!

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.

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.

Where to start. This place was amazing. Brett and Dianne have thought of everything for this condo. My wife and I stayed from 11/5 - 11/14/2025 to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We arrived and stopped at Costco on the way to stock up. Then proceeded to the condo, where via shopping carts between the parking garage and the elevators we got everything up to the top floor. All instructions were clear, the place was immaculate, and we were immediately struck by the spaciousness of the place and the view from the lanai. Our hosts had macadamia nuts next to the binder that explained everything you would need to know about the place, including how to use the remote controls, deal with the trash, and suggested activities. The kitchen had virtually anything you would need, was appointed with the nicest appliances I've every used. The Laundry room had high end front load washer/dryer with clear instructions tapped to the front. The bedrooms, Master and Loft had high thread count sheets and bedding, TVs mounted on the walls, split A/C systems, and all the amenities you would expect in a 5 star hotel. My favorite place became the lanai. We could sit at the high top table and watch the dolphins and swimmers in the bay with the binoculars/telescope, eat our meals, or sit in the reclining chairs and have a cocktail all while listening to our favorite Pandora station (Chris Rea Radio) on the Sonos speakers. We highly recommend this place. 10/10.

About the host

Hosted by Brett/Diane

Host profile image
As travelers ourselves, our family has used homeaway/vrbo for our vacations. After 10+ years of vacationing in Hawaii, our family decided to take the plunge and purchase a place of our own.

Also as paying travelers, we get frustrated with some of the additional add-on fees (i.e. cleaning, a/c use, etc). So, we include all the "fees" in our nightly rate.

**NO CLEANING FEES**
**NO A/C-USE FEES**
**NO ADD'L PERSON FEES**

Why they chose this property

We found our little slice of paradise in Punahele Penthouse. We just acquired the property at the end of February 2017 and took all of March making it into what we like to think as the perfect vacation rental. We invite you to share all that Punahele Penthouse has to offer!

What makes this property unique

We understand wanting to find the perfect place to stay during your vacation and know you have many options. Our goal is to make your accommodations as stress and hassle free as possible so you can concentrate on enjoying your hard-earned vacation! **Please email for modified check-in and/or checkout times.**
