Amazing stay
We had an amazing stay at the Punahele Penthouse. The view and ocean sounds from the lanai were incredible. The condo is in a perfect location to explore Kona and the island. 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.

Amazing trip
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!!

Best location in Kona!
Amazing views from this condo! We loved sitting on the balcony overlooking the water and just listening to the waves. The spotting scope was great for observing all the boat/swimmer traffic in the bay. Thouroughly enjoyed out stay.

Wonderful stay
We recently stayed for 2 weeks at this awesome 7th floor penthouse. The views off the 1st floor balcony ar breath taking. I sat many mornings drinking coffee and just staring at the water. Unfortunately there are a ridiculous amount of homeless people that stay along the waters edge right below the building across the street.
Some pros about this condo is it was very clean and completely stocked with everything you'd need, even down to reusable grocery bags, and the location was perfect. There were a couple of small things that I feel could make this place even better. One very inconvenient thing was there were not glass or microwaveable plates to reheat leftovers. Also the coffee maker would shut off after brewing the pot and then the coffee would get cold quickly. We would try turning it back on to warm coffee but it would quickly shut off. This may have been user error, but irritated my husband to no end bc he drinks lots of coffee.
The one other thing is the dryer. It took forever to dry a load and I mean 2-3 hours just for one cycle and then sometimes a second cycle was needed. I put the settings as the directions stated and it still took forever. We'd get home from a late day and I'd wash clothes, but if we needed beach towels again for the next day, I'd have to stay up super late or set my alarm to wake me back up to restart the dryer if needed. Not ideal when wanting to rest on vacation. Overall the pros completely outweigh cons and I would suggest staying here.
Beautiful ocean and sunset view with sounds of crashing waves. Perfectly appointed accommodations. Would definitely stay here again.

Beyond expectations!
The views, the location, the amenities - all exceded our expectations! But even more than those, the owners did! This trip was supposed to be an a girls trip (tradition) with my mom, myself, and my 2 daughters. We very unexpectedly lost my mother toward the end of last year, so we still went and brought my husband and dad to celebrate her! Its hard to explain, but the respect and the ease of everything related to this condo made it that much more special! My only regret is npt signing the physical guestbook, as i had intended. Kept putting it off and then forgot! I promise, you will not have any disappointment in this place or the owners! All are pretty special!

Enjoyed stay
The condo was very well equipped with both kitchen and recreational items needed for 4 adults. As the host couple, we prefered the ensuite bathroom so we took the downstairs bedroom, which was fine. Our only issue was the living room TV which was complicated and difficult to use. The sound bar never worked and only one volume level was possible. On Sunday we wanted to watch an NFL game, and we then learned that only the upstairs TV has the full list of Spectrum cable channels including NFL games live. It would be helpful if the owner would pay to allow the living room TV to have the same list of channels which are available on the upstairs TV, which also had a more seamless remote contol operation.

Fantastic stay!
Our family loved our second stay at this condo. The lanai is a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee or watching the sunset and everything between! The condo location is great for walking to restaurants. The condo is beautifully maintained and well stocked for a lovely time on the Big Island.
We used Kona Style for two excursions Kealakekua Snorkel and Sail and Sunset and Manta Ray Snorkel. Both excursions were fantastic! One great aspect to Kona Style is that you can walk (15 min) from the condo to the boat since it departs from Kailua Bay.
If you go to beach 69, we enjoyed malasadas from a food truck which are made to order. They are delicious!
I highly recommend this condo for a trip to the Big Island. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfect
This VRBO exceeded my expectations. It was the perfect location. We took a couple of day trips to the other side of the island and when we got back home we could park the car and just walk to anywhere else we wanted to go. No reason to pay for parking anywhere else because the location was within walking distance to wherever you wanted to go. The place was fully stocked and very clean. Loved that they had inflatables, snorkels, beach mats, etc in the beach closet. They left us a little coffee and macadamia treats. It was just a friend and I staying and I felt we had a lot of room and privacy. So nice! Highly recommend!!!

Can’t Wait to Return
The unit is all that we had hoped for in terms of comfort, convenience and location. The kitchen has everything you need to enjoying relaxing meals on the beautiful lanai. We also enjoyed several meals out at fun places within walking distance. They also have beach chairs, snorkel equipment, coolers, beach towels available to borrow which we very much appreciated. Brett and Diane are a delight to work with.
