The condo itself had good breezes so no air conditioning was necessary for our December stay. Nice view of ocean - we did see dolphins and humpback whales from front deck.

2503 is one of the best in the complex if you enjoy a well equipped condo with direct views of the ocean. It is absolutely the cleanest of any of the units we’ve rented and the kitchen included EVERYTHING we needed or could ever need, right down to spices and seasonings. We were delighted to find a welcome basket upon our arrival which included Kanalani Ohana Farm Organic coffee, the best on the Island!

Kanaloa is a great location in Kona, and this unit is a nice location within Kanaloa if you want to be near the pool and have an ocean view. The two lanais are great to have, you can watch the sunrise on one and the sunset on the other. The open floor plan allows a nice cross breeze which keeps the unit cool. We felt is was quiet and spacious for our family of four and we will visit KAK again.

This condo was a wonderful experience. They have everything you need and a lot of extras that you do not usual get when you rent a condo. I would advise going there first and seeing what is provided before you go to the store and stock up. All the furniture, especially the beds, was very comfortable and well maintained.

The owners go to great lengths to make sure that their place is comfortable and has everything one can need ( from great mattresses and cookware to a delicious welcoming fruit basket!) The apartment is located on a carefully manicured estate, at walking distance from a nice shopping center (with a lovely Saturday organic market), right on the volcanic coast close to the Sheraton resort (where one goes diving with manta rays, an absolute must! ).

We rented 3601for 35days. Very comfortable and large unit. Kitchen was well stocked and had pantry items galore. The bay view is better than direct ocean front and protects from hot sunsets that can heat up the house. Used a/c during end of trip, was muggy but was great in am. Grounds are super, Kaleo was wonderful helping us with things. Thanks Larry we will want to come back, aloha Pat.

We stayed for 17 days ( still not enough time) we loved your condo. We have stayed at probably six or seven other units in the complex and yours was one of the nicest. I can't believe finally a condo with sharp knives. I like to cook and your kitchen was well set up. We had a problem with the sink but your manager was fantastic about getting a new faucet put in. All the views from the lanai were great. Watching surfers in the morning while eating breakfast. I tried to book for next year but it was already taken. We will book again thanks.

Come monday morning we had men at our windows scraping the wood and preparing for the days work. Next thing we knew they were on the deck. Needless to say we weren't happy with the lack of privacy and called the management to help. It took two days, but finally they left us in peace and came back on our final day there. The place needs some upgrading and the cockroaches were a problem in the master bath. I think we'll try a newer condo next time.

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.

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.

We have stayed at this resort several times over the years, in a different unit each time. Unit 2004 is nicely furnished and equipped - not luxurious, but certainly comfortable. The view from the lanai is spectacular. The unit is ideal for a family, since there are four twin-sized beds, and the hardwood floors are easy to keep clean. We particularly appreciated the strong wi-if signal throughout the unit, since we had to bring work along, and it was easy to stay in touch with our offices. The owner was easy to deal with and responsive.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kanaloa2004. Mark was easy to work with and prompt in his keeping us informed. The grounds in this complex are plush and the pools pristine.

We can't wait to return!

We were part of a family group of 19 so it was so much fun. We had such wonderful accommodations it was more than perfect it was paradise, clean, beautiful, comfortable we have never slept so well. The view was spectacular especially at sunrise. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We cooked for all of us and we had enough pots, pans, plates, etc. We were able to have enough room for all to sit eat and play games. One of the things we really wanted to do was for all of us to have a murder mystery dinner at the pool/BBQ area but we were told no it is not allowed this was disappointing....

Nice clean condo with beautiful sunset views over the ocean and golf course. Fully stocked with plenty of cookware, blender, etc. Was also happy to find some spices, oils, foil, paper plates and some condiments (we've stayed other places where those items are removed after each stay). The small ice chest and beach chairs came in handy and even some snorkel gear and tennis rackets. AC would have been nice but the fans do work pretty well. The property is nice maybe a little dated but maintained.

We have not been to Hawaii in over 12 years. Goodness were we fortunate in selecting Kanaloa. The unit was perfect for a couple. Well appointed kitchen, large bedroom and master bathroom, washer dryer which included detergent(!!!), and a large lanai with a beautiful view, and very clean. We were relaxed and content. Never have we received a “welcome basket” in the 40+ years we have visited Hawaii. Thank you for a lovely stay. We will return!

Although there are a few things that could be improved, such as the carpet up the stairs and in the upstairs loft needing to be spot cleaned, and the master mattress having a sinkhole that makes sleeping uncomfortable, the view of the ocean and the sound of the waves is unbeatable and makes this place a definite five star home! Other than the carpet stains, the condo was very clean and the whole complex itself was clean and beautiful. The owners were very responsive when we had questions. If we go back to Kona, we would definitely rent this place again.

The view was spectacular, the condo was large and clean, the appliances looked new, the kitchen was well-stocked, the furniture was comfortable, and the location was convenient. My one complaint is that the master bedroom was pretty noisy. The louvre windows offered zero soundproofing so we heard people walking by, talking on their balconies, dumping their trash, shutting car doors, and driving by. Other than that, we really enjoyed this condo and would recommend it.

The whole process was very easy. The home was very clean, spacious and the air conditioning worked great. The location you can't beat which is right on the ocean and amenities were great. Having the Keauhou Shopping Center just up the road was so convenient to get a bite to eat from the many restaurants or picking up a few necessities from the drug store and grocery store. The sunsets were simply BEAUTIFUL! I have recommended your site to my friends and family and will be definitely returning again.

We were looking for a 3 bedroom sea front property and they appear to be few and far between anywhere in the Hawaiian Islands. This property just managed to fit the bill, although the 3rd bedroom was basically a room on a mezzanine floor, with little privacy. However, we were aware of that before we booked, so we are not complaining. That room did get very warm, so we went for air conditioning, which was fine. The sea facing balcony had a lovely lounger and some a nice dining table and chairs, not those cheap plastic ones. It was nice and quiet for our stay, but a family did stay in the...

This condo is so much larger and more open than many I've stayed in. The third bedroom loft was perfect for the kids (but the beds upstairs were uncomfortable I hear). The master bedroom was very nice and the remodeled bathroom was beautiful! The kitchen was in need of also being remodeled and updated. The grout was pretty old and not terribly clean. Also the ivory carpet in the master bedroom was very old and grungy. The condo is really fabulous and the Kanaloa at Kona grounds are spectacular! Thanks for a great trip!

We have stayed at Kanaloa at Kona for two-week vacations for the past 14 years and have stayed in several different units. Our favorite is Unit 1604 because it sits on the 12th tee and ocean with a view all the way back to Kailua. It is located at the very end of Kanaloa and is a very quiet location. You can also sneak out onto the 12th hole (Par 3) in the early morning or evening and work on your game and can also Kabitz with those on the 12th tee from your Lanai. Makes for some interesting conversations.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in condo #3504. This was our fourth at the Kanaloa complex. We enjoyed meals on the oceanview lanai watching surfers, outriggers and kayakers skim over the waters. The unit itself is perfect for a couple or young family. It was as described with one bedroom, two bathrooms with a murphy bed in the great room. The condo is ideally located for island exploration; whether you are going up north to the Kohala coast or to Volcano. The market up the hill is great for stocking up the frig. The shopping center also includes several restaurants and a Saturday ...

We've stayed at Kanaloa a couple of other times at other condos, and we have to say we liked #3504 best. The view is simply outstanding, over two bays with local surfers and the canoe club providing activity. For us, the Keauhou area is the best in Kona, a little off the crowded tourist Kailua sites, with the Keauhou shopping center just up the hill. The condo is very comfortable for a couple, and we had a couple of mornings with rain where we still ate breakfast on the covered lanai. When you read the guest book, one thing that stands out is the repeat guests, some as many as three sta...

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the condo. It is very well located, convenient to downtown Kona, restaurants and beaches. The condo was well appointed, fully stocked, with comfortable beds, washer/dryer, and a huge a plus was the balcony that faced the bay. The resort is very well maintained and we especially enjoyed the ocean front pool. We would definitely consider returning on a future visit to the Big Island.

I'd suggest a new mattress. All in all, we would come back and recommend to friends, but I really think you should invest in a new mattress. Aloha.

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. Was not expecting there to be 15 multi-generational people staying in the unit above us and the one pool left open for children to be crowded. The unit itself was clean, well cared for, lovely. 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. We actually felt that we had to leave the complex to regain our sanity. Not what we were hoping for at the price tag.

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!

This condo has a wonderful view of the ocean. It is spacious and well equipped. The cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms are worn but okay. The bed is very comfortable and a breeze keeps the unit cool if you have the patio doors open and fans on. It was clean except for the floor which needs a good scrub. We also had a mouse on our arrival which the management responded to quickly. The complex has wonderful newly surfaced tennis courts and great pools. The location is good for nearby snorkelling spots too.

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.

Outdoor patio is great for dining out day or night or relaxing during the day. The only complaint was about the b...

My husband and I spent a week here and loved it. The unit has been tastefully and thoughtfully updated, is very comfortable, has everything you would need, is very spacious, and has a beautiful , peaceful view of Keauhou Bay. We even saw a whale! We will be back next year.

Unit 3602 was even more beautiful than the pictures depicted! Very clean, tastefully furnished, and beautifully decorated with a spectular view of the ocean! I would highly recommend this condo to anyone wanting to visit the Big Island.

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!

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.

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.
