About this property

Spacious 2BR/2BA Condo - Ocean View, Above it All, Oceanside Pool and Zoned A/C

The Penthouse of Kona Shores awaits you! This spacious and luxurious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom corner condo is the crown jewel of Kona Shores, offering the largest living space at 1,000 sq ft. As the only 2 BR, 2 BA unit in the complex, it offers a level of exclusivity like no other.

From the moment you step through the front door, you’ll be greeted by a beautiful wood entry hall, leading you past a newly remodeled kitchen. The kitchen boasts a full-size refrigerator, gas stove, and pantry, as well as a coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven, and all the necessary dishes, pots, and pans to make cooking a breeze.

Just a step down from the kitchen, you'll enter a light-filled, open-concept living area, featuring a Roku TV to stream your favorite apps. Two large glass sliding doors open to a wrap-around lanai, where you're treated to breathtaking views of lush palms, vibrant gardens, and a partial ocean view.

For your ultimate comfort, the unit is equipped with multi-zone air conditioning, allowing you to adjust the climate in each room independently. The best part? The air conditioning is ultra-quiet, maintaining a peaceful atmosphere while keeping you cool—whether you’re relaxing in the living area or enjoying the privacy of the bedrooms.

For restful nights and relaxation, the Master Bedroom offers a plush King-size bed and new furnishings. A glass sliding door opens directly to the lanai, allowing you to enjoy the gentle island breezes or the fresh smell of an overnight rain shower. The newly remodeled Master Bath features a spacious walk-in shower, a modern vanity with double sinks, and a new toilet.

The second bedroom, located at the opposite end of the unit for added privacy, has also been completely remodeled. It’s furnished with two twin beds, a chest of drawers, and a glass sliding door that leads out to the other end of the lanai. The ensuite bathroom has been fully updated with a stylish modern tub-shower combo, a new vanity, and sleek fixtures, offering both functionality and flair.

This top-floor unit offers peace and tranquility with no noise from above. Additionally, the condo comes with an assigned parking spot directly below the unit, eliminating the stress of searching for a spot. A commercial-style laundry area is conveniently located downstairs.

Enjoy a BBQ and a swim at the oceanside pool, which offers arguably the best swimming spot along Ali’i Dr, complete with stunning views of breaking waves and unforgettable sunsets. The condo is situated in the northwest corner of the Kona Shores complex—farthest from the road and closest to the ocean—ensuring peace and privacy.


Please note that pets are not allowed, and smoking is prohibited in the unit or in the lanais. Your paradise awaits at 75-6008 Ali’i Dr., Kailua-Kona, HI 96740.

Wonderfully refreshing stay on the Kona coast
I really loved staying at this condo - the furniture was nice, the beds were comfortable, the rooms (especially the master bathroom) were spacious, and Glen was very quick and responsive as a host. I really appreciated all of the things the condo had stocked - multiple sets of snorkels, beach chairs, umbrellas (both for rain and the beach), boogie boards, every kitchen necessity you could think of...we had everything we needed for a fun, relaxing beach retreat. Thanks for having us!

We rented this condo to participate at the Ironman World Championship-Women's race in October 2023. We were 2 couples using the 2 bedrooms and 1 other lady sleeping on the sofa bed, using the bathroom from the Master bedroom. This place was awesome! It's spacious, fully-equipped, ocean view when you sit outside and off Ali'i drive, 2 miles from the Ironman swim start. 2 parkings spots were included but we chose to walk on Ali'i drive or take Uber when needed. Make sure you read recent reviews of this place, after the renovations to it. Thank you, hope to go back in 2025.

A Weekend to Remember
This is the second year in a row that we stayed at the Kona Shores unit C216 for the Labor Day Weekend, and once again we were elated with our stay. We were pleasantly surprised with the wonderful renovations that awaited us, new flooring, split A.C. and new features to the kitchen and bath. They also got a brand new sofa bed put into the unit. We had a nice family gathering at the recreation area, with all of the equipment necessary for a safe cookout. There's also a cool and breezy pavilion to sit under and talk story with family. After eating a nice lunch we took a refreshing dip in the pool. The property is very clean and Brad the property manager was very pleasant to work with. It was such an awesome stay! We made so many family memories, it was definitely a weekend to remember:)

Kona
This was a great location for our 3 week stay. Close to Kona, with lots of shops. Nice view of the ocean. The wrap-around porch was so nice; we ate our meals out there every day. The condo is a bit dated, and is in need of minor repairs, but all-in-all, we were very happy with the accommodations.

When we arrived we found out that the hideaway bed frame was broken so we put the mattress on the floor. Emailed 2 times and got no response.The contact number was out of service. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes. Wish there was a door on the master bedroom.

About the host

Hosted by Glen

Host profile image
Glen is a retired business executive of Pharmaceutical and more recently Biotechnology companies. He has a pharmacy degree and an MBA. Growing up he participated in several sports and later focused on water-skiing, snorkeling, and back-packing. Glen was born in Santa Cruz, CA and attended college at UC Berkeley and UCSF. Glen earned his MBA at Harvard. Glen's most favorite vacations are to the family cabin in Yosemite and to Kona.

Why they chose this property

Over the years Glen traveled to Hawaii many times, mainly Oahu, Maui, and Kauai. Ginny and Glen went to several Hawaii islands on their Honeymoon in 1985. (Picture is at Kona Village) He has owned a time-share in Waikiki, a lovely condo at Poipu Beach in Kauai, and several vacation and long-term condos on the Big Island. His favorite place to visit became Hawaii for the sports (e.g. snorkeling), sites all over the island, variety of scenery, birds, and the fact that this island is not yet ruined by tourism and population.

What makes this property unique

Glen has stayed at Kona Shores annually since 1985 (now over 30 years). He loves the privacy of the North wing of this complex. In 1998 the lovely northwest, first floor, corner unit became available. Glen had seen it while helping a renter fix screens. He was lucky enough to buy this unit. He loves the open, spacious, above it all, good partial ocean view impact of the unit and the very private location within the complex. (This unit was built by the original contractor for Kona Shores for himself; he also built the special corner unit below, reportedly for one of his relatives.)
