This first floor two bedroom fully furnished unit has it all. Placement faces the 12th tee of the Kona Country Club with views of the ocean a nine iron shot away. We saw whales and dolphins from the lanai’s chairs along with several cruise ships in the distance. Park your car in a covered space and sun at one of the three swimming pools.

My Husband, daughter, and I had a fabulous stay in Condo 1502. The 2 BR, 2 Bath was perfect for us. The Unit was immaculate, and even had basic kitchen staples available to use. There were books to read and for research on things to do on the island. The pools were nice, but if you wanted to use the hot tub, you needed to get there early. Sunsets were amazing and we were able to watch whales and spinner dolphins from the Lanai. Would definitely book this vacation rental again. J

The owners are new so apparently have not had time to make needed changes. The condo is serviceable, but is very dated. Nearly every surface should be replaced to achieve a more sanitary situation (e.g., tile with lots of grout everywhere). The carpet has a large patch and shows a traffic pattern. The kitchen cabinets are low quality and show wear. There are two pocket doors in the master bath. The one that separates the bath from the bedroom takes significant effort to move and makes noise in that process. The showerheads should be replaced. The condo is located just across a narrow...

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.

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.

We stayed in 1803 for the second time, and found it to be a great place for our home base for our adventures in Hawaii. We had two couples and three kids, and everyone was very comfortable in the condo (and the kids LOVED the pool). The kitchen is fully stocked with just about every cooking appliance and tool we could ever need, which made cooking for the crew pretty easy. Our favorite is the lanai, with the best view in Hawaii. I will definitely look into returning to 1803 should our travels lead us back to the Big Island. Thanks, Brent!

The view is amazing - we saw whales while eating breakfast two mornings. The kitchen is well stocked. The appliances, floors, counters and fixtures seem to have been recently updated.

I consider this the GOLD standard of living while vacationing in Kona. As far as I'm concerned if I ever visit Kona again my hope is to stay at Condo 3104 again.

The view was great, the condo was fair. You can't beat a 180 degree ocean front view in Hawaii, but, the accommodations were outdated and threadbare and not worth the price. The carpet was stained, the sheets and towels had many holes in them, the shower was backed up from day one, and we were not provided enough toilet paper. Simple items usually provided were of very low quality or non existent. The first night there, I had a huge cockroach crawl across my pillow and over my body. For the amount I spent, this should not have happened. The beds were comfortable though, and the view was gre...

Lovely place, and so well equipped - plenty of beach towels, toiletries, even shout for laundry stains. The master bed was super comfortable, the AC was strong enough to cool the whole unit quickly, and the kitchen was well equipped. But it's the patio with spectacular sunset views that made our stay so memorable. Couldn't have been happier. Mahalo!

My family and I stayed a week at this condo on the Big Island and loved it! The condo was clean, spacious and had everything we needed, and we were very comfortable there. The kitchen had a great collection of utensils and cookware, so we had everything we needed to make meals. The lanai was a huge selling point for us and we took advantage of the view every opportunity we could. Close proximity to a grocery store was also a huge plus. We would stay at this condo again in a heartbeat!

We had the most fabulous stay in condo 1901! We can’t recommend this rental enough. Great location, well furnished and clean. Every morning we’d open the sliding glass doorwall to let the fresh air in and listen to the waves crashing. It was so close to the water we saw dolphins, whales and turtles all swimming by. Shopping center, farmers market and marina all within walking distance. Short drive into Kailua Kona. This place (and this island) are fabulous, we can’t wait to go back!

This was a lovely ocean front condo that was exceptionally clean and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. There were plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, and a boogie board. There were fans throughout to keep the air moving when it was warm as we do not like air conditioning. The king sized bed was really comfortable, better than most we have slept on.

Would loved to have used it, but it was an expensive option. We stayed 3 weeks and had to pay an additional "interim" cleaning fee.

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.

Kanaloa is one of our favorite condo resorts. This unit was very peaceful, right on the golf course with a lot of greenery all around. It was also quite a bit detached from the other condos so we were not overlooking anyone else which was very nice.

We loved the condo. It well furnished and had everything you could think of including great views of the ocean from the Lanai and the living/dining room areas. It was well decorated. We loved the art work. If we had any suggestions, we would recommend the cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms be replaced soon and that the vegetation in front of the Lanai be pruned.

We enjoyed our stay at Aloha Condos, 1801, very much. We were traveling as a family of 4 adults. The pull out couch was a great option for our son. At 21 years old and 6'3" he was very cozy in the pull out while our 25 year old daughter enjoyed having bedroom #2 for herself. The master suite is very comfortable with lots of space to unpack and unwind after a busy day on the island. The condo is right at the shoreline so you can hear the breaking waves all day long and enjoy leisurely meals on the lanai or in the dining room. The well-equipped kitchen made meals easy to put together. ...

We all very much enjoyed everything until the last day. We were waiting for our swimming suits to dry in the dryer, and the house-keeper came one minute before 11:00 am. They were a bit rude. They came, and one opened the working dryer, my cloth fell on the floor and she used her dirty hand to pick up and threw it back to the dryer. It was a little thing, but it ruined our otherwise wonderful experience at 1801. I only wish the...

We enjoyed the Condo imensly. I spent almost all day on the Lanai, watching and listening to the waves crashing ashore. The furniture is confortable and the whole place was just gorgeous. The owner has excellent taste in furniture and the local art as displayed in several paintings. If there is one (sight) negative, it would be the parking, which is quit a ways away.

The entire complex is very well cared for with pools and barbecues for you to use. Make sure to pay for the air conditioning.

Overall, the condo had everything that my wife and I needed on our vacation to the Big Island. The location also served us well. The review is not a 5-start because the condo decor was very dated, the amenities were adequate, the toilet had issues with not flushing properly (the water to it was shut off when we arrived), the cable did not work, and air did not flow well between rooms in the condo. If you are looking for only a place to eat breakfast or the occasional meal and to sleep, this is a good condo for the price.

Recently spent 5 nights in this condo. The facility and the condo seemed to have been built in either the late 70s or mid 80s, which seems to be the same as all condos in the area. The bedroom and the living room are on the same floor with a bathroom in between. The bedroom lanai looks over the parking lot, with a very small oceanview. The lanai off of the living room overlooks a golf course. Air conditioning was nice and needed in the July humidity.

We have stayed at Kanaloa at Kona for two-week vacations for the past 14 years and have stayed in several different units.

The amenities in this unit are all a-1, especially for the two of us. The location of Kanaloa is perfect for long walks in various directions at any time of day. It is also so conveniently located near a shopping center which has a principal super market, drug store, restaurants, and a movie theater with first-rate movies.

This condo is at a great location right next to the water. The kitchen and living room are well furnished and the lanai is perfect to enjoy your meals. The pools nearby are very nice as well, especially the ocean view pool. The main issues are the bathrooms are a little stinky and the towels are old and dingy. Not sure if the smell is due to humidity or age of the bathroom as the smaller one appears to have been upgraded. Overall a great place to stay for a central location to most activities.

Was not warned that the oceanside pool was closed for the summer.

The water view was not as good as I had anticipated. This was (to me) a very expensive place to stay with reduced/crowded amenities and lack of peace at times.

You can watch the Hula Kai night manta dive each evening. I can't wait to return. I am hooked on the Big Island and cannot stay away.

It was everything and more that we could hope for. The little rock beach next door had beautiful snorkeling. We swam with the Dolphins 2 days in a row and it was magical.

Originally we were going to stay at a resort, but then decided on a condo rental. Sure glad we found Kanaloa at Kona #2904! This condo had a beautiful view of the ocean, it was quiet and relaxing. We loved that it had 3 pools, one which was for adults only. It was located close to shopping areas. Everyone was friendly. The only thing i noticed was the master bath, the tub/shower was pretty deep to step into for a short person, but not a huge deal. We would definitely recommend #2904!

The only negative was that we had people upstairs (family with little children) and we could hear their every step above us throughout the day which was a bit disturbing.

Beds were comfy, plenty of places to sit and relax, 2 beautiful tiled bathrooms, kitchen fully equipped, lots and lots of closet space, Tv's in each bedroom (although who has time to watch!) -we didn't want for anything! They supplied beach towels and boogie ...

Our recent stay was our second in this unit and we have already reserved the same period for next year. Very well appointed ground level unit with the lanai angled perfectly for a beautiful view of the ocean and the small bay below where surfers are treated with great wave action. There is public access to the rocky beach about a 100 yards or so from the unit. Each unit has a covered parking stall and this unit's owners have boogie boards, snorkels,beach towels, beach chairs,etc for our use. The development is well maintained with 3 pools,tennis courts,ping pong table,several Bbq's and conc...

We stayed at the condo during Christmas week and enjoyed every moment. We originally wanted to stay in the hotel but changed our mind and were very happy about it. There was a lot more space where we can spread out and rest after busy day. The condo is very well equiped (beach towels, underwater camera, games, dvds). Kitchen had cooking oil, vinegar, spices and condiments in the refrigerator. Everything is ready for you to cook. Beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. Outdoor patio is great for dining out day or night or relaxing during the day. The only complaint was about the b...

We had the master bedroom and loved the topper on the mattress very comfortable. Had everything to make our visit enjoyable. Especially enjoyed the view from the lanai and spent lots of time there. The pools were great and the location was very central to the town and for getting groceries. Also good for walking.

We rented this condo during our 4 night stay in the BI. From the moment we arrived at Kanaloa at Kona we were impressed by all the beautiful tropical gardens surrounding the condos. Our condo was right on the waters edge of a private black rock bay. We loved looking out from our private deck at the water. The lights across the bay at night of the Sheraton were amazing. We also enjoyed the provided binoculars to check out the turtles swimming in the bay and the outrigger trips from the Sheraton. It was quiet and private and we seemed to have the resort to oursleves in June. We loved the...

Konaloa at Kona is a great location, quiet, beautiful view, secure resort. Condo 3602 lives up to all the photos on the internet - really it has everything. Look in the parking spot shed before buying boogie boards. There is even a cooler in the lani storage closet.I can't imagine wanting more than you get with this resort or this condo. My only reservation would be it is a downstairs unit so you can hear the folks upstairs walking around, flushing toilets etc. - you may or may not notice this depending on what you are used to. For the price - you can't beat this condo.

Kanaloa at Kona Condo 3602 is simply the best condo (or hotel) facility we have ever stayed at. The unit was extremely clean, very well furnished, very well appointed, and had all the comforts that you would want in a vacation condo. We found everything we needed (and more) for a very comfortable stay. The view is fantastic and each of us spent a great deal of time out on the deck in comfy chairs staring at the surf, boats, weather and people in the water. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The three pools and multiple BBQ units were always clean and in top shape. We truly hated to le...

We liked the adjacent unit 3601 the year before but couldn't book it for the time we wanted but we were able to book 3602 for most of Feb. 2013. We are glad it turned out that way because 3602 was much nicer inside. It apparently had been recently updated at considerable cost according to another owner who knows the owners. Also, the lanai, which faces south-southwest, has a much better, wider view of the bay and the ocean but without the sun beating in on you. There was no need to drop the sun screens. The unit is quite private and quiet. The only building you see from the lanai or main li...

This was our second stay at Kanaloa at Kona, and our first stay in unit 3602. We loved it! Having stayed in the same building, but different unit, previously, we knew we would spend much of our time on the lanai. Such a wonderful spot. Unit 3602 is stunning, with top notch decor throughout. In between our first stay, and the most recent, we traveled to Maui. We determined that Kona is the spot for us when you get much more bang for your buck. My only concern with this unit is the either the owners will sell it, or that it will become so popular we have difficulty booking it in the...

This was our first stay on the big island, and we could not have been happier with condo 3602. The unit was very nicely furnished, much more so than many other rentals we've used before. It was clear that the owners decorated and maintained the unit with great care. The view from the Lanai was exceptional. The overall property was also great, we especially liked the ocean pool and views. We hope to return and would love to stay in this particular unit again!

Everything was perfect! This was my dream. Except only two things. One is about the phone which didn't work as low battery when we arrived. The other one is I couldn't find the concierge during my stay for the private condo... I didn't know why: it might be bad timing evey each time. Anyway I satisfied very much even these two things were missing. Thank you.

The Keauhou area of the big island is the ideal place to enjoy a relaxing and active vacation. It is not touristy like saying in town and yet shopping and restaurants are within walking distance. The Kanaloa at Kona condos get as close to perfection as is possible without owning your own unit and living there full time. 3602 in particular is the condo of choice. While the complex is very well maintained and quiet the specific location of 3602 is ideal. The lanai is directly next to a semi private cove making quick dips in the ocean to snorkel or swim very convenient. The condo is well a...

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!

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.
