We had three blissful days in Condo 1602 in Kanaloa at Kona. This unit is nicely furnished with a fully-equipped kitchen and a new LG washer/drier stack, not to mention a large-screen LG TV. This was a peaceful spot at the north end of the complex, with a nice ocean view. Besides the waves, the only other sound was the golfers teeing off about 50 feet from our lanai. No air conditioning, but plenty of ceiling fans--we were never uncomfortable. We would gladly come for another stay!

The unit has a well equipped kitchen and loved having the beach chairs, umbrellas and cooler to use. The AC is nice for sleeping at night. Allows you to close the windows for a quiet sleep.

This place suited us perfectly as two couples with two primary suites plus great main floor lanai. The kitchen was well stocked, the pools were beautiful (it’s always nice to have a quiet pool), and grocery and restaurants nearby. We went on manta ray excursion, nearly walking distance and enjoyed watching manta ray boats come out every night from our lanai. Would rent again in a heartbeat 💓

The grounds were well kept and we felt completely safe. The ocean is really just outside the balcony, the sounds of the waves will not let you forget it.

Stunning and majestic are weak starters to this description. The condo is spacious and nicely appointed and equipped. But the true attraction begins about 50 feet off the lanai where the Pacific assaults the black volcanic shoreline. Every 15 seconds a wave crashes in with larger swells about once a minute that launch geysers of white water spewing to the sky. Don't bother with the televisions, the real show can be seen and felt right outside. This is a wonderful place.

The view from this condo is magnificent - you are looking out into the vast ocean, and how soothing it is to listen to the sound of the crashing waves. Travelling with my husband, two sons (23 and 14), and my mother - we absolutely loved this condo - spacious, clean and well furnished with everything (including WiFi), we couldn't ask for more. The owner had several folders with tons of information, maps, attractions, restaurants, etc., which were helpful and useful.

Condo was fabulous. Views spectacular and great whale and dolphin watching from lanai. Very comfortable with plenty of room - felt like we were in our own home. Great location and very quiet complex yet easy drive to all the action in Kona. Of the 3 pools our favorite was the one by the ocean. Complex is close to Kona Golf Course where we had great breakfasts and lunches at their restaurant. Best part was drinking Mai Tais and watching the sun set from the lanai. Can't imagine a better way to end the fun filled days. We will definitely stay here again!

When staying in Kanaloa, the bay side is the best!! This unit has the rolling waves to watch from the deck but not blasted by the afternoon sun nor on the golf side which we call mosquito alley for a reason. The owners have comfortably furnished the unit using no rattan which is in many of the units and not great to relax in after long days of adventure. It’s my favorite unit in the complex. Can’t wait to return.

My recent stay was fourth visit to this condo which should say it all. Great view and great location overlooking the Oceanside swimming pool. Very well furnished with an emphasis on fine tropical woods. The kitchen is well equipped and well stocked with condiments. Only qualification is that it is a second floor unit with no elevator so someone with mobility issues might have trouble navigating the stairs.

My wife and I stayed at Kanaloa in condo 2503 for 2 weeks during October, 2019. This is our 5th visit to Kanaloa and we've stayed in as many different units all around the complex. We chose 2503 primarily because of its location near the pool and its view of the ocean, all while being offered at a competitive rate. We were not disappointed! Our favorite time and activity each day was having breakfast on the lanai while listening to the birds awake and watching the dolphins swim by. We were a bit too early for whales but this would be a great place to see them in season! So why did I rat...

The condo was beautifully appointed and very spacious. Kitchen was well supplied for every need. Wonderful view of the ocean. Local fruit company left a lovely welcome basket which was a huge blessing! Never had that before. Plus owner left a foldable cooler bag so appreciated and very useful. Very close to small shopping center with eateries and grocery store. DOWNSIDES- No real swimming beach was a downer and no walking paths and carrying all 6 pieces of luggage was very difficult on 2nd floor in heat! Never again! But if you are young and no luggage it s a very gorgeous condo.

We had a restful visit and found the condo met all our expectations. All equipment (fans, AC, etc.) functioned as expected and the place was clean and in order when we arrived. We did have some early on issues with the TV system but managed to get it resolved. Also, one morning we both went out on the ocean-side deck and shut the slider which self-locked! This was early (6:30) so waited about 1/2 hour for a maintenance man to appear and get us back into the condo. You may wish to warn people to not completely close the slider when on the deck in case it locks preventing reentry.

We’ve stayed in dozens of Big Island condos and this is by far one of the best. Kanaloa is a great complex, this unit is nicely furnished, beautifully upgraded, and very well equipped. As soon as I walked in I was so impressed by the cleanliness and by how well maintained this unit is. The owners are quick to respond, although the only reason I needed to contact was to complement on how comfortable they made our stay. The well equipped kitchen is easy to cook in, there’s a load of beach gear and there are numerous spots for comfortable lounging.

1801 is a spacious condo with an oustanding panoramic view. The unit sits right on the "beach",abuts against coastal lava rock and is oriented such that there is complete privacy on the lanai. Crashing waves, smell of the sea, sunsets---really, who wouldn't love that? The complex is nicely situated geographically if you have teenagers since it is easy to walk to downtown Kona, surfing, swimming. Master BR is roomy and uncluttered with a large high quality flat screen TV that also houses a DVD player. Smaller bedroom is indeed a smaller bedroom. Two beds. Little else. Would work very w...

Great place to stay, our second time there. The two bedrooms are of good size and the new master bath is beautiful. Close enough to Kona and shopping but far enough away so it is quiet and peaceful. The entire complex is very well cared for with pools and barbecues for you to use. Make sure to pay for the air conditioning. I think my only suggestion would be to improve the reception on the living room TV (the master bedroom TV is cool with a built in DVD player) and to improve the small appliances and cooking utensils in the kitchen. The kitchen itself is neat with new granite counters.

We stayed in Unit 1801 for 3 nights in late July. The unit has an incredible ocean view from the lanai. The kitchen is fully furnished with everything you need for your stay. Shopping is conveniently close to stock up on food for your stay. The unit could have been cleaned a little better before our arrival, but overall it was a great stay for our family of 4.

Beautiful condo, with a view of the crashing waves and the golf course. The bathroom upstairs was a plus. We had guests from 1-year olds to 80! To watch the sunset we went down to the golf course. The upside is that you don’t have the concentrated sun beating in from the west and heating the rooms up. It is a short drive or a healthy walk to the supermarket and the drug store. The management is working to fix the leaks, which didn’t interfere with our fun. Very expensive, so we cannot afford to rent it frequently. The staff onsite are very friendly.

Easy to get around and lots to do.Thanks John for a great time on the Big Island!

Three golfers in for a week. The location was perfect for us, close to grocery shopping, and quick to get on the road to get to courses. Floor plan was spacious and had nice second floor deck with beautiful view of coast to the north and west. Also close to snorkeling and water activities. We opted for the A/C as we wanted the cool nights to sleep. It worked great as central air, not small plug in units. Definitely would use this unit again next year.

You’re so close to the water you can almost feel the ocean spray from the waves on your face. The rooms are cozy and the bathrooms have been updated. You can comfortably sleep 6. Great location in Kailua-Kona near all the best restaurants and shops to the north and about 7-10 mins away from the Kona coffee belt to the south.

The condo complex was everything we could have wanted. The condo itself was incredibly well stocked (kitchen tools, soap and shampoo, laundry detergent, boogie boards and beach towels, etc). The beds and bedding were very comfortable and the temperature in the unit was easy to control. Minor issue with the internet and the owner was extremely responsive in resolution. Only downside was the chairs and chaise on the lanai were very uncomfortable (and we like to spend every morning and evening and all meals on the lanai). We would recommend and would rent again.

We are local residents here in Kona, Hawaii. This unit at Kanaloa was a beautiful staycation. Very clean, equipped with kitchen necessities, beach equipment, ample space, and spectacular ocean and pool view. We have children so being nearest to the pool with a view of the pool from our room was most important for us. We are Hilton timeshare owners and have been for years and can say that this unit is a close second to our Hilton units when we we want to getaway and need to stay somewhere closer in town with our family.

Konaloa at Kona 704 was a wonderful place to stay while exploring the Big Island. The unit is bigger than most that we have rented over the years in Hawaii with a great layout and 2 lanais. The unit was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. There are 3 pools within easy walking distance, take your pick including an oceanside pool with great views.

We had a wonderful stay in condo #704! The owners are great to work with and the condo is spacious, comfortable, clean & cool (A/C). The condo is stocked with toiletries, laundry equipment and supplies and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking. There were beach towels available for us to use so we didn’t have to take up valuable luggage space by bringing our own or to have to buy them when we arrived on the island. We had a great time on the Big Island and we’ll definitely come back and stay there again!

This unit was a great oceanfront unit with about a 60 degree view of the ocean from the lanai. We could see spinner dolphins, kayakers, outriggers, fishing boats, and manta ray diving boats form the lanai. At this time of year we could not see the sun "set into the water" from the lanai, but it was visible with a short walk. Keauhou, where Kanaloa at Kona is located, is very convenient to West Hawai'i (and Kailua-Kona) without being in the middle of Kailua and its touristy activity.
