“ We traveled to Kona with our friends for our "last hurrah trip before having kids" and had a fabulous time! The condo was stocked with all the amenities we could have possibly needed...a BBQ, plenty of kitchen supplies, laundry services, the list goes on and on. We even spotted a crib and pack n play, which will come in handy when we come back and/or recommend this place to other family with children. Did I mention everything was in pristine condition? We traveled to Maui about six months prior to this trip, and spent on a 1 bedroom condo what this 2 bd condo cost. We were delighted at the amazing deal in Maui, so you can imagine our shock when finding this spot!! We enjoyed the pool nearly every day, and had many a lunch & dinner on our patio. I cannot recommend this spot more highly...while it isn't located directly on the beach, it was 10-15 minutes walking distance or 2-3 minutes driving distance from several beaches. ”

“ Wonderful 2 bedroom condo. Well furnished. Really nice pool and work out facilities. Well equipped with beach gear. Nice Weber BBQ. ( I have to get one now.) Very quiet surroundings. Nice sunsets. On site manager very helpful. Grocery shopping close by or only a short drive to Costco, Walmart, Safeway or Target in Kona. Best price for gas at Costco. We would have no hesitation going back. ”

A Wonderful Experience

“ This was a perfect townhouse for two couples to share. The website showed it off perfectly....I looked over it so many times and felt like I'd already been there. It did not disapoint. I was happy to see lots of towels and beach towels and everything else we needed. The location was great. The best thing to do would be to rent a vehicle but it is possible to do a lot without one. There is a shopping centre close by plus a trolley bus that goes into town. Kona is a terrific little town. I also heard the tour bus trip is great. There's lots of books and magazines about the island in the twnhse. The best one to use is one we had also brought with us..Big Island Revealed.(The blue book) Great reviews. I also appreciated the prompt email responses from the owner. A great holiday, just too short! ”

“ quiet. relaxing. comfortable. Though not on the ocean, a decent view from our condo (but not all have that). Pool was not utilized by many and was a great place to cool off--it almost felt like a private pool when we only had other folks there at 3 of the 8 times we visited the pool. ”

A Lovely Place To Stay

SeaOtters from Kent, Washington on 03/27/2010 said:

“ After 17 days in this beautiful condo it was hard to leave. It really felt like home! From the cozy living room to the fully stocked kitchen to the comfy bedrooms, it has everything one could desire in a vacation home. The BBQ on the lower lanai was handy for nightly grilling, and the upper lanai was a peaceful place to read a book, take an afternoon nap, and watch the Kona sunsets. It was also great to have access to the garage to store golf clubs, travel bags, etc. The only downside to this unit is a bit of "traffic" noise as the residents in the lower buildings leave for work in the mornings. It was a great excuse to get up and go for an early morning walk. It certainly wouldn't stop us from staying here again. We thoroughly enjoyed Nanealoa. Mahalo to Bob and Judy for sharing their wonderful condo. ”

“ I guess the title says it all....having stayed in J2 on three different occasions for a total of 13 weeks it really feels like home. The gift basket upon arrival is always much appreciated. One of my favourite places in the townhouse is the lanai off the master bedroom, a great place to read and relax on the comfortable chaises, also a wonderful place to appreciate the ocean view and the incredible sunsets. The outdoor patio furniture on the ground floor lanai is very comfortable too, a great place to have meals and make use of the BBQ. The proximity of the Keauhou shopping centre is very convenient, just a short walk and includes a supermarket, drug store, post office, several restaurants, movie theatre etc. The kitchen is very well equipped, there is also a good stock of supplies such as paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, ziploc and garbage bags etc. Having a remote on one of the house keys was very handy, thus avoiding the need to key in a code every time you enter the complex. The grounds are very well maintained and managed. Finally, the owner, Bob Blomberg is a pleasure to deal with, very accessible and always responds promptly when making contact with him. I'm looking forward to my next visit! ”

Clean, Comfortable, Great Location

sno_bird from Wisconsin on 01/31/2010 said:

“ Very clean - had everything that one could want. In fact, more than we needed. The snorkel beach was so close (about 10 min on foot), we didn't use the pool. Didn't use the BBQ either, but used the kitchen extensively (can't offer any advice on local restaurants). Nice view, especially from the master bedroom lanai. Convenient to the grocery store (walkable if you don't mind the hill). Fairly new, in great condition and well appointed. Some fairly minor disappointments: the bed was too hard for my taste; to get a good picture on the downstairs TV (from cable), you had to make sure that the DVD player was powered off; the crew that maintains the grounds does a good job, but be prepared for the "2 cycle (engine) symphony" 3 days during the week; some residents use their lanais for entering / exting their units, meaning there may well be foot traffic by your lanai (spooked the wife); the burnt wood smell from the fire up the mountain permeated the air every night. Overall, enjoyed my stay, would consider renting again. ”

“ My husband and I stayed in Unit J2 for 15 nights in October. The condo was absolutely wonderful, exactly like the pictures on the website - very tastefully decorated and fitted out with all the mod cons (it was like staying in a show home)! Thank you for the welcome basket on arrival. Cooking in the kitchen was such a pleasure - it had every utensil you could possibly want for. There were also beach chairs/boogie boards/snorkel equipment etc in the garage for use when visiting the beaches. Also, having laundry facilities inside the condo and a barbecue on the lanai was definitely a bonus. The gated complex was very quiet, which suited us. The pool area was beautiful and the grounds were very well maintained. It is situated very close, just a little way down the hill, from the Keauhou shopping centre where we used to go the KTA supermarket for our daily newspaper and groceries and which was very reasonably priced (for Hawaii)! Making reservations for Unit J2 via Aloha Condos was very simple and straightforward and handled efficiently by Bob and Judy(the owners). They were very helpful and emailed the guestbook which contained useful information on both the condo and the island, which assisted in the planning of our vacation. They also advised us on the best options when shopping for groceries, which we were very grateful for. In summary, our vacation at Unit J2 and the Na Hale O Keauhou complex was brilliant and we are hopefully looking to return again this year. ”

“ 3rd Time is a charm as that how may times we have stayed in this complex. J2 has everything a person could think of right down to your beach chair.Great views and a very quite and well looked after complex. I would not recomend this complex if you are 20's early 30's and looking for long night's on the lani enjoying drinks. It's very quite and any noise is not a good thing.....If your looking to relax.......this is your place. ”

“ For our first trip to Hawaii, we couldn't have found a more attractive and comfortable condo. The owners have gone to great lengths to provide you with everything you might need and in such an aesthetically pleasing way, from the cozy sofa to the most comfortable bed we've found in a rental. It's proximity to a shopping center for staples, as well as the GREAT Kona snorkeling sites, kept us out of the car and in the water. We had a blast!!! We're already planning our next visit!! ”

“ My husband and I stayed at the Hale Nanealoa townhome in September of 2006. Let me first preface this review that I am very picky about where I stay on vacations. I have stayed through the gamut of different types of accommodations in my life, from motel to luxury. As I get older, my pickiness has increased and I only like to stay at very nice properties. This property is up in the 5 star range and is one of the best where I have stayed. Everything was new and clean and stylish. There was NO white "cheesy" lawn furniture that I have seen at other Hawaiian properties, nor was there the wear and tear typically seen in other condos in Hawaii. The master bathroom is something you would only get at a five or six star hotel and it was very large. I have stayed on nearly all islands in the Hawaiian chain, and this place has been the best. The view was very nice and the pool quiet and relaxing. The grounds were also well maintained. Everything was upscale here. I very much appreciated the gift basket for our wedding anniversary after I was asked on their website if we were going for a special occasion. The owners were very professional and concerned that we had a good time and everything we needed. (This has not been the case at other Hawaiian properties that I have stayed). The price was excellent for the value of this vacation home. I highly recommend Hale Nanealoa. ”

K8aroo from Santa Rosa, CA on 04/25/2009 said:

“ I was amazed by how this condo had an "at home" feeling. The complex was secure, clean, and quiet. The condo is close to the pool, which may bother some visitors who want complete serenity. The owner of the condo was always available to get our questions answered before we arrived and had very detailed instructions on how to get to the condo, find keys, and rules of the complex. The views were spectacular from the upper and lower lanai. We were impressed with the quality of linens, towels, and kitchenware. The boogie boards, and snorkel gear were a plus! We felt the location was a perfect starting point and we were able to walk to many places. We spent 2 weeks at the Na Hale O Keauhou. When the time comes take another vacation to Kona, we will definitely want to rent this condo again! ”

“ Once again we enjoyed our recent stay in the J2 townhouse at Hale Nanealoa. We have now spent a total of 7 weeks there in the past 2 years,this should give you an idea of how comfortable we feel there. As before,the added touch of the 'welcome basket' was a lovely treat. The townhouse is well equipped and its proximity to local shopping is great. We really appreciated having the barbeque, which we used often. The chaises on the upstairs lanai are a great place to relax, read and enjoy the ocean view. I must also take time to mention the incredible sunsets which were such a treat each evening. I would not hesitate to recommend to my friends and family that they include staying here in their vacation plans on the Big Island. I look forward to my next visit, hopefully next year. Finally I'd like to say what a pleasure it is dealing with the owner, Bob Blomberg. ”

“ This condo lived up to all my hopes for my Big Island adventure! I wanted to LIVE there. It is everything the pictures show it to be. We came with my son and enjoyed taking the quick ride to the public beach just down the road (it is walking distance for some!) whenever we weren't exploring the more distant beaches either up or down the coast (and still used the pool as well!). Enjoyed the farmer's market (outside the nearby grocery store) just up the hill (walked to that one!). It is a beautiful property located in a good area of town. ”
