About this property

Beach Front Ocean View Penthouse (Top Floor) Corner Unit with GREAT Internet!

Welcome to our beautiful beach front, ocean view, air conditioned, two bedroom, top floor, luxury penthouse Kona condo located directly across the street from the famous and well reviewed Kahaluu Beach Park (Big Islands best snorkeling, turtle sighting, swimming and lifeguard protected beach). This condo has MANY FIVE STAR fantastic reviews. We also own another condo in this complex that has LOTS of additional FIVE STAR reviews and is listed on VRBO. Our other penthouse condo is in the same complex, top floor, almost identical AND has excellent reviews. Both Condos are absolutely wonderful and have great reviews and reputations! You will not be disappointed!

Originally the spot of several temples and sacred fish ponds Kahuluu Bay is fed by a 10 million gallon a day fresh water spring protected by natural sea walls and coral reefs where you can see over 100 species of tropical fish and turtles. We have never seen so many turtles on a consistent basis as we have at this beach. THIS IS A SNORKLERS PARADISE... ideal for the novice to intermediate snorkeler as most of the area is neck deep calm waters with some spots about 10 feet deep, perfect for exploring the nooks and crannies where all the wonderful sea life reside. The beach park itself includes shady palm trees, restrooms, showers, BBQ's, an event pavilion, and food trucks. This beach and its facilities are literally just steps away from the condo. You can watch the kids play at this beach while sipping a cocktail from the infinity pool. Adjacent to this snorkelers paradise are the gentle rolling waves where you can enjoy a morning surf, boogie board or afternoon paddle board. There is a convenient rental shop and surf lesson shack just steps away from the condo. Snorkeling, Paddle boarding, surfing, and dolphin watching to your hearts content. Adjacent to the complex are ancient ruins from a Hawaiian church with beautiful bougainvillea covered lava rock walls.

Our condo was built in in the early 2000's and is one of the newest condominiums available along the Kona Coast. Our particular unit is a corner penthouse top floor unit that the developer himself purchased and kept as his personal condo. Being a penthouse top floor unit, It has 10ft ceilings giving it a very spacious feel and the ocean views are just incredible! We want our guests to feel at home and discover the "Aloha Spirt" that made us fall in love with Kona.

Our modern two bedroom layout offers an ocean view master suite complete with king size bed, large master bath with walk in shower, and lanai access. The guest bedroom is well appointed and comes with two single beds or the single beds can be put together for an additional king size bed configuration. Perfect for kids or another couple. The large kitchen boasts cherry wood cabinets and large granite counter tops and is stocked with your every cooking need. We offer FAST free unlimited and unrestricted high speed wireless internet up to 200mbs. Perfect for those that have to telecommute or work while on vacation.

Stop by Costco and stock the kitchen to enjoy many prepared meals out on the ocean view Lanai. The condo has a beautiful tropical island decor with multiple large screen TV's, and usb charging stations in each room. The triple french door open air lanai off the kitchen and master bedroom is a great place to enjoy the ocean breeze, breakfast, sunset views or just fall asleep to the gentle ocean waves. There is a washer and dryer in the condo for all your laundry needs. The AC will keep you cool during those warmer summer nights. The condo also offers a spectacular infinity pool with ocean and beach views with a shallow water entry perfect for sunbathing and small children. The pool area also features a BBQ/Picnic area, lounge chairs, and a lava rock in-ground jacuzzi to enjoy those incredible Hawaiian views. The unit comes fully stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas and more. Highchair and portable playpen available upon request. No need to rent. There is elevator access and ample off street parking.

We have been comming to Kona for years before we purchased our penthouse condo and absolutely love this location. Plenty of restaurants, bars and shopping within a short distance as well as miles of jogging or biking paths along the nostalgic Alli Drive coast line. We have a GREAT local concierge contact person who used to live and own in the complex, that can help you with any problems or questions you might have during your stay. We also offer an activity binder that details our favorite beaches, restaurants and island activities to help make your stay a memory to never forget.

We will do everything in our power to make certain you have a wonderful vacation! Come make our condo home and fall in love with the Big Island of Hawaii! Our rates are very reasonable and competitive.

Island Paradise

Absolutely loved our stay! We loved the location, comfortable accommodations, and we especially loved relaxing on the lanai after a busy day to watch the sunset into the ocean every night. Our tween & teens loved the snorkeling across the street and the infinity pool in the later afternoon. Our entire stay was perfect!Mahalo for our wonderful stay & vacation!

Great location, beautiful views

We returned again to the condo just south on Ali’s Dr, which makes it convenient if you want to go into town, but much quieter out of all of the hubbub. Directly across the street from one of the best snorkeling areas the side of the island it’s a beautiful location for your Hawaiian getaway. The condo, as always is in great condition, clean, and convenient for access to all of your vacation fun.

Beautiful condo, close to great snorkeling and other activities

We had a nice long weekend here and would love to come back for an extended stay sometime. It's just across the road from our favorite snorkel spot. Sadly a high surf warning closed that beach for 2 days, but we enjoyed the pool and other nearby beaches. It was only a 2-hr drive to catch the latest eruption, so we were able to drive down there and back one evening. The condo is spotless and has everything you need. The views from the lanai, kitchen and main bedroom are beautiful, so you won't want to go out for meals. Chad was excellent with communication and sent out detailed instructions and lots of ideas for activities in the area.We also made great use of the fish and invertebrate identification guides. Wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended! The photos don't do it justice as the high ceilings really make it extra spacious.

Perfect Beach Getaway!

Our family with two young toddlers recently stayed at this condo, and it was an absolute dream! The location couldn’t have been better – just steps away from the beach, which made it so convenient for morning strolls and sunset views. The lanai was the perfect spot to unwind after a day in the sun, with the most breathtaking view of the sunset every evening. Watching the sky change colors from the comfort of the condo was truly magical. The space itself was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the living area was cozy and inviting. The beach gear provided (chairs, towels, umbrella) was a nice touch and made our beach days even better. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, beachside retreat. I can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful!!!!

This is one of the nicest, cleanest, well stocked VRBOs we have ever stayed in. My mother is VERY picky and she commented multiple times about how clean it was and how well stocked the entire place was. Chad is a delight to work with and checked in a couple of times to make sure all was well. The property is fantastic and the location is fabulous with a nice beach across the street, restaurants and a grocery store close by. I would absolutely stay here again and would stay in any other property managed by Chad.

This is an Awesome Condo

This condo is the best choice for accommodations on Hawaii for a family. The condo is very clean and well maintained. The location and neighborhood are superb. Just walk across the street and snorkel in one of the best spots on the island. The owner Chad was very pleasant to work with and he regularly communicated with me leading up to our trip. He even recommended scuba diving options for us. We are a family with two grown boys and the condo was very spacious for everyone. We were able to cook our own meals in the well equipped kitchen and a very nice grocery store was nearby. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay in paradise.

Great Location For Families

This property is located directly across one of the most popular snorkeling beaches on the island. There are a lot of rocks, so make sure you bring appropriate footwear. Down the street is another beach that I liked better because it had more sand and that’s magic sand. The condo was equipped with tons of sand toys for our two-year-old, beach towels, cooler and beach bags. This condo had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. They have plastic dishes for kids wine glasses for the adults. Everything was clean and fresh and the communication with the property manager was on point. Highly recommend. I would definitely come back to this location.

Terrific condo across from a wonderful snorkeling beach

My family of four stayed at Da Kona Condo during spring break 2023 and could not have been more pleased with our experience. Communication with the owner Chad was easy. He was very responsive and provided lots of great tips for things to do and places to eat. We are so glad we took his advice to try the night manta ray snorkeling through Jack’s Diving Locker. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. The condo is very clean and well stocked. Had all the things we needed for outings to the beach and to cook when we wanted. We loved the pool, the beach views from the lanai, and the easy access to really great snorkeling. It was also a good base for us to visit other parts of the island including the Kohala Coast (great white sand beaches) and Volcanoes National Park. Highly, highly recommend this condo if you’re planning to stay around Kona.

About the host

Hosted by Chad

Host profile image
We are avid travelers and have been coming to the Big Island for many years before we purchased. In 2017 the developer of this condo complex offered to sell us his personal condo and we couldn't refuse. We were engaged in Kona and have been coming to this magical island for years. Kona offers some of the best water activities in the world and still has that Hawaiian village feel! We currently live in California but hope to make the Big Island of Hawaii our permanent home some day. If there is anything we can do to make your stay in Kona more enjoyable, please reach out to us anytime. We have lots of experience with what to do and how to spend your time and would be happy to offer our some suggestions.

Why they chose this property

This penthouse top floor unit was the condo that the developer chose as his personal condo before he sold it to us. We believe our unit offers some of the best views and best location in the complex. It is part of the second (newer) building which has upgraded amenities and an elevator! There are only four penthouse (top floor) units that have extra high 10ft ceilings. Our penthouse is a corner unit (no shared bedroom wall) closest to the beach. We have appointed our condos the way we would want them appointed. It has everything you need for an incredible family vacation or romantic get away!

What makes this property unique

Penthouse (10ft ceilings)!
Top floor, no loud guest above you!
Newer building with elevator!
Corner unit, bedroom does not share a wall!
AC with Washer and Dryer free of charge!
Great views and newer appointments!
