“ Kanaloa at Kona was a great property with awesome landscaping and nice pools. We enjoyed the ping pong table at the main pool! We used the concierge for assistance with our luau reservation. We thought that there was a poolside restaurant but found out that it stopped operating 3 years ago. Anyway, we did our shopping at the very convenient KTa grocery store and took advantage of the other stores at the top of the hill (post office, pizza place and Sam Choy's restaurant). The unit was fabulous. Our family spread out among the bedrooms and enjoyed the space, especially the view. Everything in the unit is top notch ... the furnishings, the appliances, the kitchen, the bathrooms... Especially the bathrooms! You will enjoy your stay! While we were there we visited the Place of Refuge state park (40 minutes south) and bought day passes to spend the day at the Hilton Waikaloa Village (40 minutes north). Both were good outings :) ”

“ This 7 day vacation was a Christmas present for three of our granddauthers ages 8, 13 16. We all had a wonderful time. Each girl was granted her "bonus" wish to swim with the dolphins, zip line, and ride horseback. All were great! The ocean was only ten yards away from the lanai and we enjoyed many sightings of whales and dolphins. The condo and ameneties are first class and everyone had plenty of "apace". Condos at Kanaloa at Kona are pretty mush isolated, but are only a few minutes from snorkel and wave beaches, Kailua, and a Walmart. The condo was well equipped with snorkel gear, boobie boards, binocs, etd. Highly impressed!! ”

Relaxed Traveler from Livermore, CA on 01/31/2012 said:
“ Kanaloa at Kona Condo 2003 is a comfortable and clean place with a wonderful view of the ocean. We loved that the kitchen is well-equipped and that the fans cool the rooms very well. The location is ideal: very close to the shore and a shoreline path and a short drive to a large grocery store, farmers' markets, restaurants, and tourist attractions. We loved being able to cook our own meals and enjoy them on our private lanai, watching the ocean and the sunset. The owner was considerate in providing a binder of information as well as guide books. We felt well-oriented to our surroundings. Everything was great! ”

“ We rented this condo for a week in January 2012, five adults. The pictures don't do the view justice. We practically lived on the deck enjoying the close-up view and sounds of the crashing waves. We saw dolphins and even a couple of whales from the deck. It was just perfect. The condo itself is very nicely appointed with a lovely new kitchen and all the amenities you could want. There was even boogie boards and snorkle equipement, soap, towels etc. for the bathrooms just like a nice hotel and a welcoming gift basket. There was plenty of space for everyone and we ate at home every morning and about half the evenings. Also, everything was exactly the way the said it would be and the directions for getting there, checking-in etc. were right on. You can't go wrong with this condo. Nicole ”

Family of Four from Calgary, AB on 01/04/2012 said:
“ Amazing Location! Have traveled a lot through the years and never felt closer to the ocean. Large lanai with spectacular views. Enjoyed the sunset every evening. You can tell the condo is well taken care of and very well equipped for guests. Beach towels, coolers in a variety of sizes, beach chairs and mats, flashlights and did I mention even a garlic press in the kitchen drawer! The owner seems to care that you have everything that you may need. Kitchen was very well equipped with the necessities. The grounds were also well taken care of with an amazing location for the beach swimming pool. I would highly recommend this condo and location to any visitors to the Big Island! We were a family of four with two teenagers. ”

“ Great condo. Nicely remodeled, furnished and well-appointed. We really appreciated the extras: beach mats, sand chairs and umbrella, good washer/dryer, a rice cooker (yay) etc. We've been going to Kanaloa for almost 20 years and this is one the nicest units we've stayed in. This unit does get hot in the afternoons though so if you are sensitive to heat, you'll need to purchase air conditioning. ”

“ We stayed in four different condos during our Hawaii vacation and this was our favorite. The view is amazing, exactly like the pictures. We saw some dolphins from the balcony. I'm super sensitive to motion sickness and I think just sitting on the balcony and staring at the water below actually got me sick! I've had many oceanfront rooms, but nothing this close to the water before. The amenities are great. The bathrooms are newly redone and the master especially is huge. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and a nice granite top. It was nice staying here since everything was very clean and not outdated. The condo is very well stocked. The owners are very thoughtful in providing some local recommendations. We stayed in November and definitely needed aC, but we're also from the Northeast, so we're used to cool weather. The pool by the ocean was nice and not crowded. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone considering this unit. ”

Show next to your review from West Chester, PA on 08/03/2010 said:
“ Amazing ocean views from the lanai of this recently renovated, super clean and spacious condo. We were there with our two very active teenagers which worked because there were plenty of things to do within a short drive. "Sea Quest" and "Sea Paradise" do adventure snorkeling from a nearby bay (5 minutes away), the night manata ray dive (wow!) and Captain Cook/Honaunau Bay/Black sand beach/ocean front caves (amazing). The drive to the beaches is farther. There is no beach at this resort. We decided to go to Hapuna Beach, very beautiful, but about a 45 minute drive...White Sands Beach is closer, smaller and more crowded . Great four wheel driving is about 70 minutes south to the Green Sand Beach and The Road to the Sea (a black sand beach) - really fun! The volcano!! - what more can you say! A two hour drive and really worth it. Our Condo owners thought of everything, including flash lights for the Thurston Lava tube which is really dark in the undeveloped back part. If you are planning to be out and about this condo is for you. The downside is the ocean side pool is closed for renovations, which we did not know about. There is another adult pool that is not ocean side. The unit itself - has everything except a grill on the lanai. New bathrooms, (very nice new tiles with turtles and fish), comfortable beds, good air conditioning (an extra charge), nice marble countertops in kitchen and baths, a loft and a spacious family room (ocean views) with new flat screen. We will go back! ”

“ We were more than pleased with everything at Condo 2003. It was comfortable and clean, and provided ample beds for our needs. The lanai was the "place to be", where we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful view and sounds of the ocean waves crashing against the lava. The whole complex was well-tended and everyone was very kind. We'd like to return with our adult children some day. ”

“ Our family of 6-with 4 teenagers-absolutely loved this condo, and the resort as a whole.The condo was equipped with everything you could possibly imagine,from beach chairs and cooler bags to fully equipped kitchen(better equipped than mine!)to internet and stereo system for the ipod, to games and books to read.Even beach shoes!With 4 teenagers it was a bonus to have 3 bedrooms,and all the beds were very comfortable-the master was a dream!There was plenty of room in the condo, and a lovely big lounge as well as 2 recliner rockers, so enough space for everyone when chilling out in front of the tv.The bathrooms were very luxurious,the master bathroom spoilt us all-HUGE double shower was fabulous.Enormous walk-in robes in bedrooms meant we could unpack our luggage and feel as if we were in our home, without tripping over opened suitcases on the floor of the bedroom. Being on the upper floor made it a pain to carry suitcases up the stairs, but we only had to do that once, and it was well worth it for the view from the lanai.It was so relaxing sitting there, day or night, looking at or just listening to the water.It really was worth paying for something that was almost on the water with such spectacular views.The resort itself is beautiful, it was fairly quiet when we were there, had the pool to ourselves on most occasions.We went for a walk along the front of the resort, quite amazing, but rough on your feet if you only have thongs on.You should also walk to the golf course, quite beautiful.We did some grocery shopping at nearby Keauhou Gardens shopping centre, and also ate at a couple of the restaurants there-good food and not expensive.We had 6 night there,and filled the days with lots of activities,so didn't get to spend a lot of time just relaxing at the resort,but we could have easily spent another week there just enjoying the facilities and the condo.If we are ever lucky enough to get back there,we would certainly stay at this condo again. ”

“ We stayed in Unit 2003 at Kanaloa at Kona for ten days with our daughter and her family. The condo was spacious and clean and provided comfort for our whole family. We spent a great deal of time on the lanai, which was practically in the waves! It was so relaxing to watch the waves crash on the rocks and view the beautiful sunsets. We also used the ocean view pool every day and enjoyed the facilities there. It was nice to have a shower right there for a quick rinse off after swimming. A very nice BBQ was located just across from our unit and we met some nice people while we cooked dinner each night. It was a bit of a drive to a white, sandy beach, but the one across from the Veteran's Cemetary just north of the airport was fantastic. Great snorkeling, beautiful, clear water, and gentle waves in which to play and swim. We also had a great fresh ono dinner at Quinn's, which I would highly recommend. All in all it was a delightful vacation and we would definitely return to Unit 2003 again in the future! ”

woodsy from Harlow, Essex, England on 05/29/2009 said:
“ We were looking for a 3 bedroom sea front property and they appear to be few and far between anywhere in the Hawaiian Islands. This property just managed to fit the bill, although the 3rd bedroom was basically a room on a mezzanine floor, with little privacy. However, we were aware of that before we booked, so we are not complaining. That room did get very warm, so we went for air conditioning, which was fine. The sea facing balcony had a lovely lounger and some a nice dining table and chairs, not those cheap plastic ones. It was nice and quiet for our stay, but a family did stay in the flat below one evening and you were very aware of their conversations when sitting out on the balcony. There was plenty of towels etc. and we had everything we needed. The property is nicely furnished and clean. The one thing I was not happy about, was $165 for the cleaning fee. To me, that's a heck of a lot of money just to keep the place clean. Again, we knew that before we booked, but that cost is more than excessive to me. If your thinking of staying here, I would advise that you get a car. There is a nice restuarant on the complex, but if like me, you like a choice, you need transport. There is a shopping Mall a short drive away, but its a good 15-20 minute uphill walk away. OK coming back, its downhill then! The complex does have 3 swimming pools, but none of them had much in the way of shaded area's. My family love sunbathing, but I'm not so keen. There was the odd umbrella, but even under them the sun beats thru and you could easily burn if you are not careful. One gripe, you can only drink your drinks at the bar and not round the pool, which I did not agree with. I like to sip my drink whilst laying round the pool, not sitting up at a bar. I suggest that they get some plastic tumblers and let people enjoy themselves. ”

“ This condo is so much larger and more open than many I've stayed in. The third bedroom loft was perfect for the kids (but the beds upstairs were uncomfortable I hear). The master bedroom was very nice and the remodeled bathroom was beautiful! The kitchen was in need of also being remodeled and updated. The grout was pretty old and not terribly clean. Also the ivory carpet in the master bedroom was very old and grungy. The condo is really fabulous and the Kanaloa at Kona grounds are spectacular! Thanks for a great trip! ”

Becca from Castro Valley on 04/03/2009 said:
“ This property had every amenity that you could need. It was comfortable, beautifully decorated and very spacious. We had an ocean front view that was by far the best we've ever had. I always insist on an ocean front or ocean view unit and this was about as close to the ocean as you would want to be. At times, I had to close the slider door to be able to hear the television in the evening. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. The ocean was beautiful. Our only regret is that this condo is not on our favorite island of Maui. We enjoyed the Big Island but perfer the more goings on of Maui. This unit is great and the grounds of this complex are beautiful. If we ever come back to the Big Island, this is where we will stay. ”

The condo was well equipped with snorkel gear, boobie boards, binocs, etd. Highly impressed!! ”

“ Kanaloa at Kona Condo 2003 is a comfortable and clean place with a wonderful view of the ocean. We loved that the kitchen is well-equipped and that the fans cool the rooms very well. The location is ideal: very close to the shore and a shoreline path and a short drive to a large grocery store, farmers' markets, restaurants, and tourist attractions. We loved being able to cook our own meals and enjoy them on our private lanai, watching the ocean and the sunset. The owner was considerate in providing a binder of information as well as guide books. We felt well-oriented to our surroundings. Everything was great! ”

“ We rented this condo for a week in January 2012, five adults. The pictures don't do the view justice. We practically lived on the deck enjoying the close-up view and sounds of the crashing waves. We saw dolphins and even a couple of whales from the deck. It was just perfect. The condo itself is very nicely appointed with a lovely new kitchen and all the amenities you could want. There was even boogie boards and snorkle equipement, soap, towels etc. for the bathrooms just like a nice hotel and a welcoming gift basket. There was plenty of space for everyone and we ate at home every morning and about half the evenings. Also, everything was exactly the way the said it would be and the directions for getting there, checking-in etc. were right on. You can't go wrong with this condo. Nicole ”

“ Amazing Location! Have traveled a lot through the years and never felt closer to the ocean. Large lanai with spectacular views. Enjoyed the sunset every evening. You can tell the condo is well taken care of and very well equipped for guests. Beach towels, coolers in a variety of sizes, beach chairs and mats, flashlights and did I mention even a garlic press in the kitchen drawer! The owner seems to care that you have everything that you may need. Kitchen was very well equipped with the necessities. The grounds were also well taken care of with an amazing location for the beach swimming pool. I would highly recommend this condo and location to any visitors to the Big Island! We were a family of four with two teenagers. ”

“ Great condo. Nicely remodeled, furnished and well-appointed. We really appreciated the extras: beach mats, sand chairs and umbrella, good washer/dryer, a rice cooker (yay) etc. We've been going to Kanaloa for almost 20 years and this is one the nicest units we've stayed in. This unit does get hot in the afternoons though so if you are sensitive to heat, you'll need to purchase air conditioning. ”

“ We stayed in four different condos during our Hawaii vacation and this was our favorite. The view is amazing, exactly like the pictures. We saw some dolphins from the balcony. I'm super sensitive to motion sickness and I think just sitting on the balcony and staring at the water below actually got me sick! I've had many oceanfront rooms, but nothing this close to the water before. The amenities are great. The bathrooms are newly redone and the master especially is huge. The kitchen has plenty of counter space and a nice granite top. It was nice staying here since everything was very clean and not outdated. The condo is very well stocked. The owners are very thoughtful in providing some local recommendations. We stayed in November and definitely needed aC, but we're also from the Northeast, so we're used to cool weather. The pool by the ocean was nice and not crowded. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone considering this unit. ”

Krazy Fun at Kanaloa Kona

Show next to your review from West Chester, PA on 08/03/2010 said:
“ Amazing ocean views from the lanai of this recently renovated, super clean and spacious condo. We were there with our two very active teenagers which worked because there were plenty of things to do within a short drive. "Sea Quest" and "Sea Paradise" do adventure snorkeling from a nearby bay (5 minutes away), the night manata ray dive (wow!) and Captain Cook/Honaunau Bay/Black sand beach/ocean front caves (amazing). The drive to the beaches is farther. There is no beach at this resort. We decided to go to Hapuna Beach, very beautiful, but about a 45 minute drive...White Sands Beach is closer, smaller and more crowded . Great four wheel driving is about 70 minutes south to the Green Sand Beach and The Road to the Sea (a black sand beach) - really fun! The volcano!! - what more can you say! A two hour drive and really worth it. Our Condo owners thought of everything, including flash lights for the Thurston Lava tube which is really dark in the undeveloped back part. If you are planning to be out and about this condo is for you. The downside is the ocean side pool is closed for renovations, which we did not know about. There is another adult pool that is not ocean side. The unit itself - has everything except a grill on the lanai. New bathrooms, (very nice new tiles with turtles and fish), comfortable beds, good air conditioning (an extra charge), nice marble countertops in kitchen and baths, a loft and a spacious family room (ocean views) with new flat screen. We will go back! ”

The lanai was the "place to be", where we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful view and sounds of the ocean waves crashing against the lava. The whole complex was well-tended and everyone was very kind. We'd like to return with our adult children some day. ”

“ Our family of 6-with 4 teenagers-absolutely loved this condo, and the resort as a whole.The condo was equipped with everything you could possibly imagine,from beach chairs and cooler bags to fully equipped kitchen(better equipped than mine!)to internet and stereo system for the ipod, to games and books to read.Even beach shoes!With 4 teenagers it was a bonus to have 3 bedrooms,and all the beds were very comfortable-the master was a dream!There was plenty of room in the condo, and a lovely big lounge as well as 2 recliner rockers, so enough space for everyone when chilling out in front of the tv.The bathrooms were very luxurious,the master bathroom spoilt us all-HUGE double shower was fabulous.Enormous walk-in robes in bedrooms meant we could unpack our luggage and feel as if we were in our home, without tripping over opened suitcases on the floor of the bedroom. Being on the upper floor made it a pain to carry suitcases up the stairs, but we only had to do that once, and it was well worth it for the view from the lanai.It was so relaxing sitting there, day or night, looking at or just listening to the water.It really was worth paying for something that was almost on the water with such spectacular views.The resort itself is beautiful, it was fairly quiet when we were there, had the pool to ourselves on most occasions.We went for a walk along the front of the resort, quite amazing, but rough on your feet if you only have thongs on.You should also walk to the golf course, quite beautiful.We did some grocery shopping at nearby Keauhou Gardens shopping centre, and also ate at a couple of the restaurants there-good food and not expensive.We had 6 night there,and filled the days with lots of activities,so didn't get to spend a lot of time just relaxing at the resort,but we could have easily spent another week there just enjoying the facilities and the condo.If we are ever lucky enough to get back there,we would certainly stay at this condo again. ”

“ We stayed in Unit 2003 at Kanaloa at Kona for ten days with our daughter and her family. The condo was spacious and clean and provided comfort for our whole family. We spent a great deal of time on the lanai, which was practically in the waves! It was so relaxing to watch the waves crash on the rocks and view the beautiful sunsets. We also used the ocean view pool every day and enjoyed the facilities there. It was nice to have a shower right there for a quick rinse off after swimming. A very nice BBQ was located just across from our unit and we met some nice people while we cooked dinner each night. It was a bit of a drive to a white, sandy beach, but the one across from the Veteran's Cemetary just north of the airport was fantastic. Great snorkeling, beautiful, clear water, and gentle waves in which to play and swim. We also had a great fresh ono dinner at Quinn's, which I would highly recommend. All in all it was a delightful vacation and we would definitely return to Unit 2003 again in the future! ”

Having the Keauhou Shopping Center just up the road was so convenient to get a bite to eat from the many restaurants or picking up a few necessities from the drug store and grocery store. The sunsets were simply BEAUTIFUL! I have recommended your site to my friends and family and will be definitely returning again. ”

woodsy from Harlow, Essex, England on 05/29/2009 said:
“ We were looking for a 3 bedroom sea front property and they appear to be few and far between anywhere in the Hawaiian Islands. This property just managed to fit the bill, although the 3rd bedroom was basically a room on a mezzanine floor, with little privacy. However, we were aware of that before we booked, so we are not complaining. That room did get very warm, so we went for air conditioning, which was fine. The sea facing balcony had a lovely lounger and some a nice dining table and chairs, not those cheap plastic ones. It was nice and quiet for our stay, but a family did stay in the flat below one evening and you were very aware of their conversations when sitting out on the balcony. There was plenty of towels etc. and we had everything we needed. The property is nicely furnished and clean. The one thing I was not happy about, was $165 for the cleaning fee. To me, that's a heck of a lot of money just to keep the place clean. Again, we knew that before we booked, but that cost is more than excessive to me. If your thinking of staying here, I would advise that you get a car. There is a nice restuarant on the complex, but if like me, you like a choice, you need transport. There is a shopping Mall a short drive away, but its a good 15-20 minute uphill walk away. OK coming back, its downhill then! The complex does have 3 swimming pools, but none of them had much in the way of shaded area's. My family love sunbathing, but I'm not so keen. There was the odd umbrella, but even under them the sun beats thru and you could easily burn if you are not careful. One gripe, you can only drink your drinks at the bar and not round the pool, which I did not agree with. I like to sip my drink whilst laying round the pool, not sitting up at a bar. I suggest that they get some plastic tumblers and let people enjoy themselves. ”

“ This condo is so much larger and more open than many I've stayed in. The third bedroom loft was perfect for the kids (but the beds upstairs were uncomfortable I hear). The master bedroom was very nice and the remodeled bathroom was beautiful! The kitchen was in need of also being remodeled and updated. The grout was pretty old and not terribly clean. Also the ivory carpet in the master bedroom was very old and grungy. The condo is really fabulous and the Kanaloa at Kona grounds are spectacular! Thanks for a great trip! ”

Becca from Castro Valley on 04/03/2009 said:
“ This property had every amenity that you could need. It was comfortable, beautifully decorated and very spacious. We had an ocean front view that was by far the best we've ever had. I always insist on an ocean front or ocean view unit and this was about as close to the ocean as you would want to be. At times, I had to close the slider door to be able to hear the television in the evening. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. The ocean was beautiful. Our only regret is that this condo is not on our favorite island of Maui. We enjoyed the Big Island but perfer the more goings on of Maui. This unit is great and the grounds of this complex are beautiful. If we ever come back to the Big Island, this is where we will stay. ”
