74-5618 PALANI Rd L2Kailua Kona, HI 96740

This is a leasehold property. A rare chance to own near the Kailua-Kona pier. This freshly updated one-bedroom leasehold condo at Kona Kai sits close to Alii Drive, downtown restaurants, and KTA Super Store, at a fraction of the cost of nearby fee-simple condos. Second-floor unit in one of Kailua-Kona's most central locations, just 0.3 miles from the pier and Alii Drive, so swimming, shopping, and strolling are right outside your door. This unit has an open lanai (although owners can screen in lanais) and an ultra prime parking spot right outside the door. Recently updated with new laminate flooring, fresh paint throughout, new bathroom vanity and shower surround, and new kitchen appliances - including a gas range which is a rare treat when it comes to condo living. Land lease through 2034, this is a cash-only purchase, not financeable. CV-10 zoning and HOA rules both allow short-term vacation rental use (STVR/TAR permit not yet obtained, to be secured separately by buyer), offering ultimate flexibly to cover carrying costs when not in use. Whether you're looking for a home base or a place to get away, this condo puts your Kona dream within reach. Kona Kai amenities: large community pool with expansive pool deck, BBQ area, on-site coin laundry, outdoor shower for rinsing off.
