Welcome to Kona Alii #704 — a spectacular top-floor oceanfront penthouse where downtown Kailua-Kona meets elevated island luxury.

From the moment you step inside, it becomes clear that this is not your typical vacation rental. Completely remodeled with high-end finishes and thoughtfully selected furnishings, #704 offers the rare combination of a premier penthouse location, incredible ocean views, beautiful interiors, and your very own private rooftop deck.

And then there is the view.

Step onto the lanai and the Pacific Ocean stretches out directly in front of you. From this top-floor vantage point, the views are simply breathtaking. Watch boats pass along the Kona coastline, enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the water, and settle in for unforgettable sunsets from what may be one of the best oceanfront viewpoints in downtown Kailua-Kona. The lanai is truly the heart of this residence and a place you may never want to leave.

Inside, the beautifully remodeled kitchen features high-end finishes and comes fully equipped for everything from a quick breakfast before heading to the beach to preparing a special dinner at home. The adjoining living area is comfortably furnished with upscale pieces and features a massive television for relaxing after a day of exploring the island.

The main-level bedroom is a peaceful retreat with a queen-size bed, its own split-system air conditioning, and an ensuite bathroom featuring a beautiful vanity and tub/shower combination. A second full bathroom on the main level offers a walk-in shower.

Head upstairs to the loft and discover an incredible second sleeping retreat featuring a king-size bed, another massive television, and its own split-system air conditioning. The loft also includes a charming wet bar with a mini refrigerator and sink — perfect for keeping cold drinks nearby or enjoying a quiet evening upstairs.

One of the most unique features of this penthouse is your dedicated rooftop deck. Step outside to your own elevated outdoor space with a chaise lounge and additional seating. Soak up the Kona sunshine, bring up your morning coffee, relax with a book, or simply enjoy having another private outdoor space high above downtown.

The residence also features its own dedicated laundry room — an especially convenient amenity for longer stays.

Kona Alii's elevator makes accessing this top-floor residence easy, while the location puts you right in the heart of downtown Kailua-Kona. Restaurants, shopping, cafés, nightlife and the waterfront are all nearby, yet once you return upstairs to your penthouse, the sweeping Pacific views create an entirely different experience.

Please note that there is no air conditioning in the main living room. Split-system air conditioning is provided in both the main-level bedroom and upstairs loft, and these systems help cool the condo entirely.

Kona Alii#704 is more than a place to stay: it is the kind of property that becomes part of your Hawaii experience. Two sleeping areas, two full bathrooms, gorgeous high-end finishes, exceptional furnishings, dedicated laundry, elevator access, a private rooftop deck, and a top-floor direct-oceanfront setting in the heart of Kona.

If you're searching for one of downtown Kailua-Kona's most memorable luxury vacation rentals, you've found it.

Welcome to the penthouse. Welcome to the view. Welcome to Kona Alii#704.

    The condo was great. It felt like a home away from home and had all the extras we wanted but didn’t want to buy for such a short trip like boogie boards, beach chairs, sun-umbrella, and snorkeling gear. We had the water not working one morning and our host was extremely responsive to my email and let us know it was from a leak in a different unit. We also had an issue with the ac because we got it on the wrong settings and he had it fixed so quickly. It was an amazing trip and we would definitely stay in that condo again if we make it back to Hawaii.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!
