We visited for two weeks. My son and daughter in law and precious 5 year old grandson live in Kona so it was absolutely wonderful to be near them and have the space for my grandson to come and sleep over..and to becablevto entertain.
The pool area is great for families. Two suggestions I would make are improve restaurant menu and motivation of staff at the restaurant. Also the activities available were not promoted enough...perhaps a whiteboard out in the entrance to the pool with the days activity and the next days ...promoting sign up and information. Otherwise it was great...we'll be back!

The four of us had a wonderful time at 10-304. The unit was very clean and spacious (sometimes all 4 of us were working in the kitchen) with high ceilings, lots of windows, comfortable beds, in
house laundry facilities, attractive decor, and a lovely lanai.
We spent most of our "home" time on the lanai enjoying the amazing
view. The grounds and pools were well maintained as well.
We all are happy to recommend this unit at the Kona Coast Resort.

The home was exactly as it is pictured on the website. Everything was extremely clean and neat. The amenities within the home were great. We enjoyed breakfast on the Lanai and were able to cook with ease at night when we wanted to (plenty of kettles, pots and pans etc).
The location was great. Close enough to grocery, drug stores, yet far enough away from town to provide some quietness.
With a family of four including two older children(16 and 23),it was nice to have space to spread out. The resort itself was also very nice. Two swimming pools, hot tubs,and a restaurant. We would definitely rent this condo again.

We really enjoyed our stay. Last year we stayed in a time share property at Kona Coast and liked the area so much we wanted to return. I found the price $139 very reasonable. The view is fantastic and visible from the living room and dinning room as well as the lanai. There was an initial problem with one of the ac units, but it was quickly resolved and we found little need for a/c. Just opened the window in the kitchen and the door and let the breezes flow through sliding glass doors to the lanai. The condo was clean, and nicely appointed. The proximity to downtown Kona is a big plus. We had a very pleasant stay and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The pictures are very accurate in depicting the inside, but don't do the view justice!

The good: expansive ocean view from the deck, comfortable in the main living area, sunny kitchen w/ washer/dryer & mountain view in the morning, spacious shower units, beach chairs and towels, ice chests and snorkel sets on site, location is convenient to the Keauhou shopping center and near Kahalu'u beach park. The owner Jim Weinand is informative by providing email communication w/ driving directions and maps. billing is itemized and understandable.
The bad: await room to be ready for 1 hour and 15 min until 4:50PM local time, cleaning charge too high, AC units are too noisy, loft is too warm to be cool down in a hot summer, and TV sets & stereo systems are outdated.
The bottom line: we would stay in this condo again. Overall, our visiting experience is very good.

Everything in the condo was as described, and even exceeded our expectations. Wonderful views and great location close to beaches, shops and restaurants, but away from the bustle of Kona, which was a short drive away. The lanai was the place we started and ended each day. This condo was so well equipped we didn't have to buy or rent anything during our stay. Early morning noise from the road can be a problem if you're a late sleeper, but we didn't even notice it after the first day. Kaleo Lindsey, the local contact, was especially helpful when we first arrived and made sure everything was in order.

Only negative thing we experienced was a cranky shower head which was very difficult to adjust. Water was wasted trying to adjust the temp. In spite of this one negative, we definitely would stay in this condo again.

The activities Staff was most helpful with directions and brochures/phamplets for sightseeing.

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!

“
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 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.

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.

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.

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].
