We only had 4 nights in the Kanaloa 1804 in January 2017. The condo was well stocked for visitors. We loved the fact that you even had great knives - those are often non existent in vacation rentals. The Ocean view from the bedrooms, living room and lanai were spectacular. The condo was clean, and comfortable and was perfect for us. Close proximity to one of the barbeque areas as well. We have stayed at the Kanaloa in a few different units over the past 4 years and 1804 is certainly one of the best!

The location is perfect - close to Kahalu'u beach for snorkeling, the shopping center for supplies and farmer's market, and Keahou Bay for catching the Trade Winds II trip. Best of it is so quiet and restful.

We had stayed at other units in the Kanaloa complex previously; really enjoyed the location of this complex, and knew that this particular unit had the best views of any available. We were not dissappointed upon our arrival with any aspect of the unit and the fact that the lanai view was dead on the ocean with perfect sunsets every evening made our month-long stay truly wonderful.

If you are searching for a luxury condo on the Kona Coast of Hawaii with a fabulous ocean view, then this is the condo for you. This second floor condo has sweeping views and sits only yards from the ocean. The location is excellent, and the resort is lovely. There is plenty of room in this condo for you and your family, and central air conditioning is available. The kitchen is well-stocked and appointed. A new front-loading washer and dryer are also in the condo which is very convenient. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone traveling to the Big Island.

This condo has a lot of upgrades. Kanaloa has very nice condos to begin with, and this one is outstanding. Tile throughout, and marble tile in the master bathroom. Walk in double shower with a separate huge jacuzzi tub. Walk in closets. Huge flatscreen TV, big kitchen that looks like it was remodeled in the last few years. A good size lanai, beachfront or lava front. Can watch sunsets from the lanai. We have stayed in several of the condos at Kanaloa and is this is by far the nicest one. Sleeps up to 6 and has 2 full bathrooms. Kanaloa is the nicest condo to stay in Keauhou Kona.

Our family of 4 enjoyed a 5 night stay in condo 1404. The condo was well appointed, with nice linens and towels, and plenty of kitchen ware. We also had access to boogie boards and snorkel equipment, which we used many times during our stay. Checkin and checkout were incredibly easy, as a door code was provided to us for access. The resort amenities were great, with 3 different pools on site. They also have tennis courts on site. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book here again!

I cannot imagine a better place to stay in the Kona area! The rock formations outside of our lanai could not be beat - I am sure we had the absolute best view on this side of the island. Because of the way the condos are positioned, our lanai felt very private - no other condo had a view of our lanai.

Unit 1603 was so clean, quiet, convenient and relaxing! We were very happy with our choice and loved having the wide doorway fully open to the golf course and ocean, with surprisingly no bugs. The bed was comfortable and the ceiling fans worked well although it was a little humid. The kitchen was remarkably well equipped. We enjoyed the convenience to the grocery store, restaurants and exploration of the west side of the island and Richard was very responsive and helpful with questions before we booked. We will certainly recommend this condo!

We loved our stay Kanaloa. The facilities were well maintained and just wonderful views from so many parts of the complex. There was easy access to pools from any part of the complex and the location is ideal. Close enough to downtown without feeling too touristy. We definitely will stay there again when we return to Kona.

We have been coming to Kona and the Kanaloa for over 20 years and unit 1603 was the nicest and most comfortable unit we have stayed in. It has excellent views of the ocean, is quiet, tastefully furnished and equipped with comfortable furniture and a well supplied kitchen. The hosts were also very easy to contact and provided all of the information we needed for a relaxed stay.

Everything about this condo was perfect for my week at the Big Island in June, 2019. The condo is roomy, comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped, and, with windows open, the ocean breeze all through the day and night is a dream. The view is wonderful, especially for sunset and the lanai a perfect place to enjoy it over dinner. My friends staying elsewhere thought my condo the best and preferred gathering there for creating dinner together. Boating and kayaking are nearby as is a small shopping center. I would definitely try to stay here for my next trip!

One of the nicest units we've stayed in out of 25+ visits to Kanaloa: upgraded, modern, and clean. However, a summer visit without A/C makes for a hot and difficult sleep.

It took 6 months to get back to the island, and it was worth the efforts. I stayed alone this time, and found this condo to be beautiful, with many great amenities. The bed was super comfortable, and the place very clean. The location allows a ocean view, although it is surrounded by 2 buildings, so its not a full oceanfront like we have stayed in before. Because of COVID the condo complex was empty, so it was very quiet.

This is a lovely condo, the location isn't bad, the washer and dryer are a nice convenience, the bed is comfortable, but honestly speaking, it could use a bit of up dating. The noise from above was really annoying. Every footstep is audible, and there were many footsteps.

We wanted to stay at Kanaloa at Kona because of a relative's wedding and other family members were staying there but renting from office. I didn't like the reviews I read about the renting from the office so I found this condo owned by a private owner. It was great to see the pictures before renting and everything was just as promised.

Very comfy home with table in the living room that was perfect for playing games around at night. The resort is really nice with 3 pools and even hot tubs (we used one night when it was raining :) ). Oh, and we booked via www.alohacondos.com. Great site, really helped us find the best place for the best price.

This is our eighth consecutive year visiting the Big Island and our fifth stay at Kanaloa. This condo is by far one of the superior rentals that we have stayed in in this complex. The condo was not only clean and homey, but during the tsunamia warning the owners personally called us to offer their advise and assistance. The only thing we missed was the small refrigerator on the lanai, we like our beverages nearby in our evening relaxation period. We would highly recommend this unit and hope to aquire it again next year.

What a wonderful place Kanaloa is! We've stayed there 5 or 6 times now. And this time was no disappointment. Of all the condos we've visited, #203 was the best organized. All the closets were clearly labelled. There were detailed instruction books on the desk. And there were plenty of supplies. We therefore had a care-free stay. We were delightfully surprised to find a gift basket from the owner at the door. We're looking forward to return next year, and we will definitely book through Aloha Condos (rather than with the on-site organization).

This condo is in a great location in the Kailua area. We enjoyed eating meals on the spacious and well-appointed lanai. The condo is well-suited for a couple with young children; it would be crowded for a couple with two teenagers. Although not on the ocean, the view across the fairways of the golf course are fine and relaxing. My only less than stellar statement is that the kitchen and baths have not been updated, so these areas of the condo feel old and tired.

We rented this condo as a "home base" for our staff while covering the Ironman World Championships. It was perfectly located - just outside of the chaos of Ali'i Drive but not so far away that driving into town was a hassle. The condo itself is spacious and comfortable, and the hosts are supremely nice! Wifi is fast (a must for our crew) and the patio was an excellent place to work and/or kick back with a beer after work. We'll be back.

Lovely condo and grounds. The views are spectacular!! It was very clean, with lots of extra consideration for travelers.....pots and pans, ice chests etc, and brand new beach towels. The beds were comfortable, and linens provided were good quality. Living and dining room furniture was good quality. The only drawback was that the washer was louder than a jet taking off.

There were some beach chairs and stuff to borrow & we left the boogie board we bought. The kitchen was well outfitted, although we brought a few sharp knives for cooking.

My wife and I stayed at Kanaloa at Kona from October 26 to November 5, 2022 and had a wonderful time. Our son, his wife and their two children were in an adjoining condo and, as a family, we had a great vacation. Our unit was very clean and well prepared when we arrived and, hopefully, we left it in much the same condition when we left. Should we ever return to the Big Island, we would certainly attempt to book the same unit. Thank you very much. Don Douglas

My daughter and I just got back from a relaxing week in Kona. The condo is beautiful, very spacious with a wonderful view of Keauhou Bay. We went on walks in the neighborhood every morning and snorkeled at nearby Kahulu'u Beach Park. Everything is very accessible, and the condo community has nice amenities (including BBQ grills in the common areas and an oceanside pool with spectacular sunsets). The condo owner had arranged for a welcome basket of fruits and vegetables from a local organic gardener, a very nice touch for our arrival. I highly recommend this condo.

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.

This condo is truly beautiful. The view from the lanai is spectacular. As someone who prefers to eat in, the kitchen had everything you could possibly think of. The pots and pans were high end as were a lot of the utensils. The beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms, both master and guest were lovely. Mike and Lonna are so easy to deal with and are truly concerned that those staying in their condo have everything they need. You will not find a nicer condo on the island for the price. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone who is planning on staying in the Kona area.

We have stayed in many condos over the years, but #3602 was by far the best stay! The condo is beautifully decorated with all the amenities one could possibly need or want. Our special place was the lanai with the view overlooking the cove below. My husband and I would actually play on the beach in the morning and come back to the condo in the afternoons and evenings to just spend quiet time on the lanai soaking in the tropical wonder. The Kanaloa is a quiet property and very well groomed and maintained! All dealing with aloha condo were prompt and professional. They are very user friendly...

The picture accurately captures the view from the lanai at 3602, where we ate every single meal. The condo was incredibly comfortable, quiet, very well equipped, and easy to settle into. The view over the bay was lovely, especially in the mornings, when we even saw some spinner dolphins traveling through. We were a short walk or a short drive to fantastic snorkeling, and we did night snorkeling with the manta rays right next to the nearby Sheraton. We would definitely stay here again!

This condo was great! Very nice furnishings. Really makes you appreciate a good vacation when you have a nice place to stay. The view is great. One thing we would have done was opt for the air conditioning, not easy for women to put their makeup on when it's too warm. Would go back there anytime. Thank you.

Perfect view from lanai, lots of activity to whatch in small bay. Every little convenience was thoughtfully provided, and we felt just as if this was our own home. The condo was sparkling clean on arrival and every detail of booking from beginning to end was perfectly handled. We have stayed in other condos in this area of Kona and this was by far our best visit.

It was all good, the Condo was beautifully decorated and equipted with everything you would require. Location was great for us and 5 minutes away were all the ammenities one would every need. Waking up to the sound of the ocean every mornig with coffee and a good book in hand on the Lania, watching the sun rise was how I spent my 1st hour of every day. How great is that!!!

We stayed in condo 3702 from January 4 to Jan 20, 2012. Would have stayed longer but it was already rented. We also stayed in this condo in February 2010. This condo has everything you need. Tons of linens and towels. Great appliances and cooking utensils. It is very large. Sleeps 6 with 2 bathrooms. Absolutely wonderful view from the lanai watching the waves and surfers. Sound of the ocean puts you to sleep at night. Pictures on the net are exactly what you get when you arrive. Very comfortable. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend this condo.

Can't beat the location for the price. As a main floor unit, we did find the guests above a little loud with very heavy feet. Air conditioning was a little tricky to figure out as well but after the cleaning lady came, it worked great (but we never did find out what she did). Lanai was wonderfully relaxing. Being right on the bay was also a bonus for Kayak rentals and snorkelling.

We shared unit 3602 with another couple and the layout was all we could ask for. It was very quiet and we enjoyed the view from the lanai while having breakfast, reading a book, or just kicking back and visiting. The wall colors in the unit were very soothing, and web pictures we right on!

The condo is beautifully furnished and exceeded all our needs. I loved the soft sheets. The view from the lanai is gorgeous - we never tired of watching the outrigger canoes and kayaks depart and return. It was very easy to rent the condo and extremely pleasant dealing with management. All our questions were answered and we thoroughly enjoyed our week at 3602. We'll be back in 2012!

In addition to the fantastic ocean/golf course view, this very clean condo was spacious and had a fully stocked kitchen. Convenient to everything in Kona area, too. The unit felt private given how it was situated within the complex. We had every meal out on the lanai, and saw some amazing sunsets. A definite A++++ !

Our family stayed here for the first time and loved spending every moment possible on the Lanai. Conveniently located near very nice pools and the golf course, it's an easy 2-min walk to see spectacular sunsets every night. The home is very welcoming and you can tell the owners put alot of effort into ensuring the beds are quite comfy. It was hard to leave!

We spent 9 nights here with our two nieces and their husbands so the two bedrooms and murphy bed in the office worked out really well. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. In addition, a property barbecue was conveniently located just a few steps from the front door. The view from the lanai was spectacular and we ate most of our meals outside. There were four beach towels provided, four beach chairs, and some water floaties for the kids. The unit was clean and welcoming. Older family members may have issues with stairs and more stairs. The second bedroom also tends ...
