This condo was a great value. The owner was a pleasure to deal with before and during our stay. The condo is in a great location and the complex was great. We used both pools and both were well maintained. The condo had everything we needed: beach towels, beach chairs and folding chairs, coolers, toys, etc. Great place to relax and watch sunsets from the lanai. We spent most of our time at beaches. There are some great snorkeling spots and great breakfest/coffee places down highway 19. I strongly suggest reading Hawaii Revealed, it is a blue book and the condo has one on the desk. I look forward to staying in this condo again!

We had a wonderful stay at condo 10-304. The unit came with everything and more that we needed (appliances, furniture/bedding, electronics, games, etc.), to make our vacation wonderful and carefree. The unit was clean and comfortable and a great value. I would highly recommended this unit to anyone interested in visiting Kona. I have already told friends about it and will definately rent again for our next visit.

“
10-304 of Kona Coast Resorts is close to the ocean, snorkeling, and the shopping complex to get your necessities/food and some dining. Probably the best part of the condo is the views. It was a pleasant surprise to have items like bedding, cleaning supplies, TP, etc included in the condo- thank you!! Couldn't easily travel with that from the continental us like we do when staying on the mainland.
I say this vacation home is probably better for one couple for 2 reasons- the air conditioning does nothing for the upstairs loft. So unless you like it hot, or are traveling in a cooler season, you probably don't want to sleep up there. The other reason I suggest that children not occupy this house has to do with the downstairs neighbor. She found us right away after arrival to tell us to make sure our children walked softly because of the tile floors. So, we spent an entire week telling our children to whisper and to tiptoe around (one of our son's walks like an elephant).

We spent 5 nights and had breakfast on the lanai each morning, our surprise was 2 full size bathrooms with walkin showers. The condo was very clean with all the necessary supplies to begin our stay. The grocery and drug stores were 2 blocks away, an easy walk and the view was fantastic each day. We opted for no air conditioning and the breeze made it very comfortable for sleeping as we were gone somewhere during the day. We highly recommend this wonderful property. There is access to a beach within 1 mile and there are 2 pools and 3 hot tubs on the property. There is a gas grill right next to the garage.

Wonderful Kona Coast Condo

Aloha Dennis from Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii on 05/06/2010 said:
“
Aloha Condos (Kona Coast Resort 10-304) is a wonderful place to stay in Kona. It is located in the Kona Coast Resort with the Keauhou shopping center just 2 blocks away. The condo has an upgraded kitchen with marble counters and new appliances, very easy to get around for cooking. A small wet bar area at the end of the kitchen is ideal for breakfast or to have an evening drink. The large main bathroom has a clear tile-block shower enclosure and double sinks layed in marble. The modernize kitchen, tile floors throughout and Hawaiian decor made it a relaxing place to stay. The ocean view across the golf course is spectacular. Watching from the condo deck or walking 1 block to the ocean front cliffs to watch the sunset is a nightly ritual. We highly recommend the stay for 2 or 4 people since this is a 2 bedroom 2 bath condominium. Aloha, Dennis

The best vacation we have ever had. The Condo was very clean with all the amenities. The beds were very comfortable and having two bathrooms was a real plus. The placement of the condo was perfect, the lanai overlooked the ocean with no other buildings obstructing the view. The condo had plenty of space for our family of four. The only one minor issue was that there is no direct access to a beach from the condo complex, at least not one that we could find. This was not a huge issue as we were able to find other beaches close by. The pool area was nice as was the bar, a little spendy, but we expected this. Overall, we had a great time and will never stay in a hotel on a vacation again. This was our most relaxing, fun filled vacation we have ever had. We will stay here again for sure.

Kona Coast Resort - Unit 10-304

On Vacation from Escondido, CA on 04/14/2010 said:
“
We stayed for 8 days with our two younger teens. The Resort property is well maintained and the grounds are very nice. Staff is friendly and helpful. The unit itself is nicely stocked with towels (beach & bath), kitchen pot/pans, (even laundry soap) and information about things to do (including on-site activities). It is very spacious and the large lanae is unbeatable for a 180 views of the ocean and sunsets. All appliances worked just fine. I understand that it was updated - the owners did a nice job with the kitchen and bathrooms. The furnishing are nice although they show some wear. All in all it was quite comfortable.
We did not use the AC, but I can see where you might need it. Most of the time there were great ocean breezes with all the windows open, except for the upstairs (kids bedroom/loft). The owners provided 3 moveable fans which helped a lot. We had our own internet service so can't comment about service through the Resort.
We liked the resort location. It is about 30 minutes to nice sandy beaches like Hapuna, but there are plenty of things to do locally, so you won't get bored. It is a quiter location than in town and not as lush as the large resorts, but it was a good home base. The grocery store is across the street which is really helpful. We cooked and ate on the lanae a lot.
The pools are nice and we ate at the poolside restaurant a couple of times. Food was pretty good and fairly reasonably priced. A nice way to spend the evening with the kids in the pool.

The views from the lanai are 300 degrees around, just shy of 360! We felt very comfortable and could have easily spent our days happily not leaving the condo, amazing considering we are the type that are always on the go. The owner was extremely responsive to any questions we had before we went and really seemed to care that we throughly enjoy our stay at his obviously well loved vacation get away. And that we did.

The location is convenient to shopping, activities and a good snorkel beach. We would most definitely stay there again.

we loved our unit. Beautiful sweeping view of the ocean, very nice unit with lots of extra. The pools were great. Used exercise room everyday. Our only complaints were: we had to pay extra for air conditioning, which never seemed to cool the loft area bedroom which stayed too warm. There was constuction just out side our front door. They were working on the stairway and walk ways on week days. Workers were very nioe, but we had to listen to hammers and saws, which took away from our peaceful retreat. Would have been nice to have been told in advance.

This was the second time that Carmen and I stayed at the Kona Coast Resort. We liked it last year and hence wanted to return to the same development this year. We found the standard of the condo to be excellent with the necessary amenities. However and being only two, we did not take full advantage of what the condo had to offer. Nevertheless, the location, the spaciousness, the view, the proximity to shopping, etc all added to an enjoyable experience. If we find ourselves back in Koan again next year, we will certainly look to stay at Kona Coast Resort again. Thanks.

A good spot for chillin' out, or a home base for day trips around the island. Watch the sun dip into the ocean every night (maybe even seen a green flash). Right on Alii Drive, so a short distance to several outstanding restaurants. Plenty of room to spread out. Have some Kona coffee on the lanai in the AM. Quiet community.

The property was in great condition and was a great value! The photos accurately reflect the interior of the condo. The owners obviously use the property and it is very well maintained. There are towels, utensils, dishes, a washer and dryer, many appliances (all in working order); just like being at home. There is a grocery store, movie theatre and drugstore within walking distance. We very much enjoyed our stay! I have nothing bad to say about our experience. The best beach I have ever seen is Hapuna Beach. It's a 45 minute drive away (there is really nothing that it is close to) with turquoise waters and white sand beaches. Google it, then GO! Also did Volcano National Park (3 hours away) [1.5 out of 5 stars], Hawaii Tropical Botanical Gardens (2 hours away)[3.5 out of 5 stars] (take mosquito spray), and the Southernmost point in the US [1/2 star out of 5]. We had 5 nights and that proved enough time to see everything we wanted to. Again, highly recommend staying at this condo!

A beautiful, breezy top-floor unit, with near panoramic ocean views and all the comforts of home. Whether cooking in the spacious fully-equipped kitchen, lounging on the huge lanai or catching up on your favoriate TV program in the livingroom, master bedroom or loft bedroom (equipped with two huge bathrooms), this unit is well worth the stay. If you don't wish to travel the 4 mins north to Kaliua-Kona (but don't miss the great pier, shops, restaurants and spectacular lu'au), you're only a stone's throw away from a convenient outdoor shopping center, where you can find a huge grocery store, drugstore, shops, restaurants, and even a movie theater. I've been to the Big Island at least 10 times,and Unit 10-304 is by far the most attrative, well-maintained owner's unit ever. The surrounding grounds are quiet and very clean, with lots of activities to choose from including shuffleboard, tennis, volleball, baskteball, swimming...there's also an activities desk on premise to help you plan your day. I will be back!

This unit was just as it was pictured online....clean, comfortable, nicely decorated, and the view was amazing. We did have an unexpected guest sharing the condo.....we weren't informed about the likelihood that a gecko(s) may get into the condo.....most likely through a space in the screen door when we had the front door open. We kept the door closed after that. We enjoyed the island breezes coming in from all the windows but the noise outside every morning from the condo maintenance people was rather annoying. Over all, we very much enjoyed staying here!

“
All of the condos on our website can be rented Real-Time via our website (www.alohacondos.com) and don't require sending emails or calling anybody to rent. We don't want potential guests to have to wait for a response in order to book their stay.
This guest had called me to ask for a discount and I passed along this information to the owner - Jim Weinand. Jim never contacted the guest because of a problem that occurred during the guest's previous stay.
During their previous stay this customer violated the non-smoking policy and smoked heavily in the unit. After their departure the cleaning team went to considerable effort and additional expense to properly clean the unit for our next guests. The owners will not rent to this guest again.

This was by far the best condo we have EVER stayed in. The owners provided all the necessary information a few weeks prior to the trip and then contacted us a couple of days before arrival to make sure we had all the information we needed. Directions were easy to follow and the coded lockbox ensured it was easy to get in and we never locked ourselves out. The condo itself was beautifully constructed, furnished and decorated, with pictures and art work that gave it a warm, welcoming feel. Although the entire condo was woonderful, the bathrooms deserve special mention. Spacious layouts, beutiful tile work and the rolled river rock floors int he showers are a great touch!
The kitchen was a delight with Island-themed dishes and every cooking utensil imaginable. We hosted a number of dinner parties for local friends and all were very impressed with how at home they felt there. They were also envious of the spectacular sunsets they enjoyed from the dining room and the lanai. The condo stayed pleasantly cool with its' East to West exposure capturing breezes off the ocean ( I swear best location in the whole complex). In the mornings we watched whales breaching and every evening we watched the sunset from the lanai before firing up the bar-b-que for dinner. Although we were on vacation, we have 24/7 type jobs so the wireless connectivity allowed us to check in and avert an insurmountable amount of e-mails upon our return to reality.
The resort property had two lovely pools, three hot tubs, two tennis courts, and a small workout facility. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The grocery and drug stores were a five minute walk and Kahalu'u Beach with its' friendly fish and abundance of sea turtles was a 10 minute walk. Kona town is a 10 minute drive. Despite the convenient location, the condo was incredibly quiet with no noise from Ali'i Drive.
There is nothing I would change about this condo or the location. It was perfect!

We had a great week in Kona with two small children. The unit was

Conveniently located close to the gate of the complex, but no noise of
traffic. The sunset from the Lanai is quite a sight, and makes you feel
as though you own a piece of paradise, for a modest price. Keauhou is
a nice quiet location, just the right distance from Kailua so that you
don't feel too secluded, but have the luxury of silence at night at the
same time. Groceries and daily necessities are just across the street
at the Keauhou Shopping center, where you can just about find
anything you may want during a one week vacation. A 10 minute jog
down to the beach is great getting down, but the hill climb up can be
a challenge if you jog too far down Ali'i drive. Overall, it's good fun for
