great time in Kona from Campbell, CA on 07/28/2010 said:

“ We loved the location and the grocery store nearby. The cove below was great for snorkeling and looking out from our deck each day. The pool area was great also and the barbecue we used. The landscaping was very colorful. The unit itself was very spacious and the rooms were good size for everyone. We loved having the kitchen and the laundry. The only thing we had to deal with was these pesky little ant type, knat type bugs that were always in the kitchen area. When you were trying to put food out on the counter or dishes in the sink, they were annoying. ”

Beautiful view of the bay from our lanai

“ Our stay at 3702 at Kanaloa at Kona Condos was everything we had hoped for. It had a beautiful view of the bay and we spent mornings and evenings watching the view and enjoying the breezes. The condo was spacious for our family of 5 and in great condition ( except for the sliding door to the lanai, which wouldn't stay on the track). There were beach chairs and water shoes and umbrellas and beach towels for our beach activities, which was so nice. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and eating utensils, pots, etc. we were disappointed the pool closest to the beach was undergoing renovation and not open, but the other two pools were fine. The location was perfect for us...close to a grocery store, to snorkeling beaches, to the town of Kailua-Kona, and to the airport. We loved it all, and felt we got a great value out of our condo. ”

Gorgeous View, Comfortable Layout & Close to Beaches and Stores

“ The virtual tour of unit 3702 made for great expectations. They were not merely met but exceeded! We spent mornings and evenings on the lanai that had an unrivaled, picture-postcard view. The condo complex is at the end of residential street so no huge hotel buildings nearby. A shopping center with a large grocery store was within a 3-minute drive but felt a world away. Within a five minute drive, we were at some of the most recommended beaches in Kona. We paid $129 per night (before taxes) for this unit that sleeps six people. What an incredible value! Mind you, the decor is a somewhat dated. But it was clean and very family-friendly. We have raved about our experience to friends, family and coworkers. We would, without reservation, recommend this unit. We plan to return! Aloha from Steve (Kiwi) Murphy! ”

“ Enjoyed watching the surfers from the lanai. Also, the net fishermen were very interesting to watch. ”

Really enjoyed our stay

“ Our Lanai had the most incredible view. Every morning we ate breakfast on the lanai watching the surfers and the waves. The condo is very clean and quite large. All appliances worked well and the kitchen was well stocked. Internet worked good too. We did not use the hot tub or the bidet in the suite so I cannot comment on them. The shower is large enough for two and has two shower heads. Bed was comfortable. When we arrived there was liquid soap at all sinks and bathroom tissue, which was nice because we arrived late at night and it would have been a problem to purchase these. Little things like that go a long way to enjoying your stay. Even a pen and notepaper beside the phone. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the unit and we will stay there again. ”

Vacation in Paradise

“ My girlfriend and I had a wondeful stay at the Kanaloa Condo #3702 in Feb 2010. I have stayed here many times. The view from the lanai is so beautiful and dynamic with the ever changing sight and sound of the surf in the bay. It goes from a muted roar to a lapping tinkle of the rocks on the beach depending on the weather and wave patterns. We chuckled at the sight of the wary mongoose sneaking across the lawn and marveled at the innocent beauty of the colorful geckos on the railing...... We were there at whale time and spent many hours at the pool by the ocean watching the whales pass by. We snorkled, dove , danced, whale watched, had great meals,explored old Hawaiin temples, hiked and all around had a great vacation....I couldn't recomend this place more highly..... ”

EXTRAORDINARY!

“ We absolutely love, love, love this unit. It is quiet, comfortable and has remarkable views. The unit itself was so delightful and offered all the comforts of home including the owner who had gone out of his way to customize our trip. What we liked best was sipping those cool Mai Tai's on the porch watching the golden Kona sunset. We also really liked the tennis, pools and golf. Everyone is so friendly here....thank you! We highly recommend Unit 3702 at Kanaloa and we will be back! ”

“ Overall we found our experience with unit 3702 enjoyable. The staff at Kanaloa were very helpful and friendly. The unit has an amazing view and is in a great location, close to shopping and not too far from Kailua-Kona. My son enjoyed the 2 pools the complex has and the grounds of Kanaloa are very pretty. Its just too bad the restaurant is closed! The kitchen needs to be outfitted a little better. Needs to have larger skillets, a cookie sheet, and better knives. The kitchen faucet was broken so you needed to make sure you pushed it down just right to turn off the water. The jacuzzi tub in the master was broken (and looks like it has been for quite some time) while this didn't bother me in the least I am sure it would be nice for others if it was in working order. Also the fan on the lanai needs to be fixed, it gets hot out there! With a few improvements, this would be a fantastic unit to stay in. ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for your review and bringing these problems to my attention.

The kitchen has been resupplied with new skillets, a cooking sheet and new knive set. The faucet has been fixed too.

The ceiling fan on the lanai is fixed as well.

The jacuzzi tub in the master bath is going to be removed this spring, so I don't plan on fixing it until after my remodel.

Again, thank you for your feedback.

It was just OK

“ We've stayed at several other Kanaloa condos and they are a great location, quite and have all of the amenties. Unit 3702 boarders the small bay which is quite and peaceful. Our issues with the unit was that there were several lights that didn't work, and the fan on the lanai didn't work. Both faucets in the master shower weren't installed correctly, the hot was cold and the cold was hot. The kitchen sink also needed some tightening since it wouldn't completely turn off unless it was pushed down. Also the whirlpool tub had a sign on it stating that the motor was being replaced. Based on the sign, (it was dirty, the clear plastic folder that it was in was cracked and had several dead flies in it)the replacement was taking a long time. This unit wasn't up to par with the other units that we've rented in the past. With a little work it could be. ”
