Everything you need

Steven from Brookline on 03/15/2013 said:

“ Condo was excellent - lots of room, great facilities and everything was provided: from beach towels and boogie boards, snorkelling equipment to laundry detergent. The owners (unlike all too many) realise that customers are flying in and cannot pack all of this equipment themselves; plus it made the price even more reasonable as it was not necessary to hire the equipment. The views were beautiful. The only thing that was not so great was that the bed in the master bedroom was soft - a personal preference but there it is. ”

R&A from Kelowna, BC on 02/24/2013 said:

“ Condo 2403 was wonderful. View was amazing. Plenty of dishes, cookware and cutlery. Every appliance worked great. Condo is spacious and well appointed. We loved everything about it. We had most of our meals on the lanai and watched the waves of the ocean. You would enjoy your vacation in this condo. Close to the pool and BBQ. It is upstairs so not suitable if you can't do stairs. ”

“ We very much enjoyed our stay in your condo. The decor was very tasteful and the unit is equipped with everything we needed. The master suite is especially spacious and great. All if the tech and electronic options to keep everyone connected and happy as if the views weren't enough to keep us focused on staying unconnected. Thanks for all of your thought that went into anticipating what a renter would need and providing it. ”

“ This condo by far is our best choice. We have stayed in three others here and by far this place was awesome.We have been to every island and this condo unit is our number one choice.It has everything you need . The kitchen was well stocked the only thing to buy is whatever you are going to eat.The kitchen had a great supply of condiments and spices already.Never used the beautiful dining table we ended up eating at the big table on the deck every night enjoying the beautiful view.The master bathroom and bedroom were another plus..The only thing i would suggest is maybe a few more pool towels.I know if we come back to kona this will be our first choice..I still cant believe how beautful this place was thank you so much for the week we had there it really wasnt long enough.. ”

Charlee011 from Surrey,BC on 03/06/2012 said:

“ The condo is in a great location within the resort which is close to many amenities. Access to parking, pool/hot tub, and BBQ is very convenient. The ocean view is extraordinary. The condo is extensively equipped with everything one could possibly need, beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Staff were very friendly. Charles handled the reservations and details very efficiently. The "Red Book" with instructions and suggestions was most helpful. Free Wifi was an added bonus. This place truly is a paradise and made this vacation with our friends so memorable. ”

Susan from Auburn, WA on 02/14/2012 said:

“ The condo was exactly as described and pictured in the photos! It is very spacious and nicely appointed. The owners have left nothing out that you could possibly need during your stay. The view from the lanai is beautiful and we enjoyed watching and listening to the surf crash against the rocks. We made good use of the BBQ, the completely stocked kitchen, and the pool area. Sta Grocery store is very close (we walked) so you can get fresh food for your stay. It's also just a short drive to Kona town which has lots of restaurants and shopping. There are tons of beaches in any direction where you can enjoy the soft sand and play in the waves. We went out on the Bite Me 3 fishing charter-very fun-I caught a huge Mahimahi (very tasty on the grill!). The drive up to the volcano was interesting and informative-also recommended. We'll definitely be back to the Big Island and this condo! ”

A truly fabulous condo with a big lanai overlooking the ocean

Sally and Mick from Cle Elum, Wa on 09/27/2011 said:

“ We had a fabulous stay. Everything about the condo is top-notch, including the location overlooking the pool and the ocean, the ease of reservation, the amenities. We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. So nice to be able to cook big meals and have all the pots/casseroles/utensils/spices etc. Not to mention the beach towels, mats, coolers, snorkel gear, binoculars, etc. The resort is great, too, with lovely grounds, pools, tennis courts, hot tubs, lovely landscaping. We will be back!! ”

Juls082 from Palo Alto, California on 08/19/2011 said:

“ This condo is incredible. We were a group of 4 adults and 1 baby (10 months), and the condo couldn't have been more ideal. We were all surprised that it was as nice (if not nicer!!) than the website pictures show. It was immaculately clean, and the kitchen was wonderfully stocked with any cooking utensil you could ever use, plus a lot of pantry "basics" (olive oil, spices, condiments, etc). The master bed and bathrooms were gorgeous, and the second bedroom is also very nice (though smaller with a bathroom next door). The condo was stocked with everything we needed while visiting - including snorkeling gear, beach umbrellas (which as it turns out are 100% necessary when visiting the beaches in the summer - it gets hot and there is very little shade!!), binoculars, several large beach towels, beach chairs, playing cards, board games, Dvds and Bluerays, the list goes on and on. The lanai is absolutely perfect, and we ate about 95% of our meals outside while enjoying the views and sounds of the ocean. There are a few Bbqs on the property (one right below the condo), and we did not have any problems with them being busy on any of the 3 or 4 times we wanted to BBQ. Overall, this was an incredible place to stay and if we ever returned to Kona we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. ”

John and Family from South Bend, IN on 06/10/2011 said:

“ It's difficult to add something new to the accolades already posted. My only advise would be to open up to the sights and sounds that Hawaii has to offer. Arise each morning to the sounds of the birds. Go out to the Lanai and just look, listen and feel all that is taking place around you. See if you agree with me, when I say - Paradise Found. ”

“ In the morning, walked around to breathe fresh air with flower fragrance and to say "good morning” to people and small birds just passing, and took breakfast with looking at palm-leaves flowing in the breeze. All happened there are ordinary but nothing to be compared like miracles. We are now looking for the next chance to stay, hope once a year going forward. Mahalo! ”

KenO from Portland, OR on 04/20/2011 said:

“ We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kanaloa. The condo was beautifully remodeled, the kitchen was well equipped, and the pool and beach toys were great! Our kids especially loved the boogie boards and sand toys. We traveled with two kids, ages 5 and 3. They loved having the space to run around and play. The view from the deck was fantastic. We ate all of our meals out there! The unit is very convenient to the pools, tennis courts, and BBQ. The ocean pool was a couple of degrees cooler than we would have liked, but still warm enough to play in. The other pool was a bit warmer. We never tried the adult pool. The grounds at Kanaloa are very nice with nicely maintained tropical vegetation. The location is convenient to shopping and beaches, and only a few miles from the heart of Kailua/Kona. I hope we can visit again in the future. I would definitely stay in this unit again. ”

Unit 2403 at Kanaloa at Kona is a gem.

Overall rating:
Gail D from Portland OR on 04/02/2011 said:

“ This is simply a lovely place to stay. We vacationed for eight nights with family, four adults and two children, and found the condo furnished beyond our expectations. See what is provided in the online listing. The beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. The kitchen was great with more than ample glasses, cooking utensils, plates, detergent and other helpful items. The washer and dryer were new. The solid wood table with matching chairs made eating on the lanai a delight. Placemats were provided. The children loved the swimming pools and the snorkeling at the nearby beach. We could hear the surf and had a great view of the ocean from the lanai.We needed to adjust to the solar heated water, which is the way that most water should be heated. I want to thank the owers for having a solar water heating system. In the travel book, "Hawaii: The Big Island" by andrew Doughty gave Kanaloa at Kona a gem rating. I agree, it is a gem. ”

The 5 Happy Visitors from Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada on 01/01/2011 said:

“ This condo really exceeded our expectations. It simply had everything; amazing view, newly refurbished pool and hot tub steps away, fabulous ocean view, sunset view and peace and quiet. We practically lived on the lanai and ate every meal there.The grounds and pool were kept scrupulously clean everyday. The kitchen was loaded with every sort of equipment, pots, pans, casserole dishes and even condiments. For a Canadian, the only thing missing was a tea pot! The beds were comfortable, the linens were pure cotton, the fans kept the rooms cool. We were grateful for an abundance of beach towels, mats, coolers to take to the beach, ice machine in the fridge, even flippers and beach shoes. When one of us couldn't find their passport and keys, one of the security came up and went over every suitcase until they found it in a underlying hidden pocket which we missed. Crisis averted! We loved our stay so much that we've gone back to the website just to look wistfully at the photos of "our rooms" in condo 2403 and Kanaloa. We'll be back next year to stay there again. ”

“ It really was lovely! Very comfortable. It had everything you'd want from cards and games to beach towels, boogie boards and ketchup, binoculars & blender to hair dryers. I was wonderful. I grew up in Hawaii so I am used to having open windows and fans to keep cool. I was surprised how warm it was in December, so if you are not used to it, I would suggest getting the a/c. It was really wonderful... ”

Great Location! Great Time!

J. Lew from California on 08/12/2010 said:

“ Everything was great about our stay. The location and view were wonderful, and it was nice to be away from the downtown Kona crowds. Especially nice to be minutes away from great snorkeling at Kahalu'u!!! The condo had all the supplies we needed, complete with beach gear like boogie boards and straw mats. The beds were very comfortable, and the common area was conducive to a nice family gathering. The downside was the water temperature. We took many lukewarm, if not cold, showers. On the other side, sometimes the water was too hot, and the coldest we could get the water was "warm". It would have been nice to have written instructions regarding how to manage the hot water heater, and also how to use the temperature controls in the master shower (very confusing!). If you have a large group of people, all of whom would like a tolerable shower at the end of a long day, this can be very frustrating. I definitely would not let the water situation keep you away, because that is really the only downside, and is probably something that can be fixed. It's just something to keep in mind. ”

Unbelievable condo in a fantastic location

MikeB from San Diego, California on 07/16/2010 said:

“ This condo was absolutely fabulous. Hands down, the best thing about this condo was the 'pay it forward' atmosphere. We cooked/Bbq'd the whole week because the kitchen had *everything*...and not just the normal plates, pots, pans, but spices, condiments, you name it. Coolers and beach maters were available for beach trips; flashlights for lava tube exploring; complete snorkeling sets outfitted the whole family; binoculars were great for just sitting on the lanai watching the ocean activities. Beyond that, the condo is elegantly and tastefully furnished, well-maintained, and in a fantastic, lush-landscaped location with easy access to the community pools and shops just up the street. We found it to be well located to everything we wanted to do and a great home-base. Finally, reserving the condo and use of the site was easy and convenient and Charles' thoroughness and follow-up was unparalleled. When we hit the big island again, this is the only condo we'll even consider. ”

spectrum360 from Bellingham, WA on 06/27/2010 said:

“ The condo was beautiful and looked exactly like it was pictured on the web site. It was well stocked with everything from cooking supplies to Dvds to boogie boards and snorkeling gear. The location of the condo was alright, but I would recommend a place further north. It took over an hour to get to the beautiful white sand beaches such as Hapuna Beach and Mauna Kea Beach. We loved the comfort of the condo but we were sorely dissapointed that we were not informed that the main pool out front of the condo was closed for repairs and had been for some time. ”

lovinghi from Texas on 05/07/2010 said:

“ We had a great 3 day experience in Kona this April and a great portion of it was due to the wonderful stay at this lodge. The owner has thought of everything, and it was fantastic to have a book of reviews of the restaurants in the area. We followed their reviews religiously and they didn't steer us wrong once, I would highly recommend doing likewise. As far as the lodging itself it is 20 minutes away from several of the hotspots on Kona, its beautiful, decorated tastefully and sits right on the beach. What more could you ask for? If I go to Kona again, I will definitely be staying here again! ”

Debbo from Woodland Hills, CA on 04/22/2010 said:

“ The service Charles provided in arranging our stay was terrific. He was very accomodating and quick to respond to my emails. The home was beautiful and had so many extras to enjoy such as beach chairs, beach towels, binoculars, etc. It made our experience so easy and pleasurable. The view and sound of the surf off of the lanai were breathtaking. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to all our family and friends. The only problem we had was that they were resurfacing the spa and grounds right below the lanai. We had to listen to the jackhammers and compressor, as well as the workers yelling back and forth, from early morning to late afternoon. It made thinking or talking impossible! We were forced to leave even when we would have liked to enjoy the view and peace of the home. It also made giving the baby a nap impossible. I know this kind of work must be done but I wish we had known it was going to be happening during our stay so that we could have had the option to choose another condo. It was difficult with 2 small children and all the disruptive noise. Aside from that, everything was beautiful and the home warm and inviting. I'm sorry to even have to complain about anything but I figured honesty is best! ”

“ ....Just got back and cannot wait to tell you what a fabulous time we had at the Condo (# 2403).....I was looking for a review page where I could thank you for a really top notch vacation not only because of the unbelievable views from our lanai, but also for the excellent accommodations and a wonderful "Red Book" with detailed information on restaurants, things to see, and step by step guide to all the conveniences that make for a truly relaxing and enjoyable vacation!! I am so glad that this venue is available for those of us who just want to share a really awesome experience. Everything we needed (or thought we would have to go out and get) were at our fingertips and convenience. There was nothing we ran out of that was not provided for. A lot of thought was put into making this a (gorgeous) home away from home, and that, in my estimation, is definitely the earmark of a well managed enterprise. Please make sure that the word gets out so that no one misses out on a 5 star vacation!!! MAHALO, MAHALO, MAHALO!!!!! Cheryll Neese ”

carson from Carson, Washington on 04/23/2009 said:

“ Six ladies spent the last three nights of an eight night stay in the Kona area at this nicely appointed condo. We were lucky to find something available at the last minute and were very pleased with the ammenities, the complex, and the view from the lanai. The housekeeper was very helpful in getting us into the condo early. We enjoyed ourselves and wished we could have stayed longer. Our only recommendation is that renters be aware that the third bedroom is indeed only a loft with a full size futon for a bed. We made it work for us but a "real bed" would make the condo perfect for 5-6 adults. We would definitely recommend this unit as well as the complex. ”

The space was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. We had plenty of room for 6 adults and a little tyke. The lanai with the large dining table allowed us all to dine outside together. The condo was well equipped right down to the kitchen amenities, boogie boards and snorkel masks. It was decorated nicely and very comfortable. It was easy to make reservations online and communicate with the owner by phone and email to finalize arrangements. Beth also helped ensure everything was perfect for us and was available to answer questions of us while on island. Thanks for providing the perfect accommodations for us! ”
