Kanaloa at Kona 1901, Kailua-Kona Big Island

Phenomenal!

We’ve been coming to Hawaii for 16 years, every January, and this VRBO was our absolute favorite! The location, the cleanliness, very comfortable beds and fancy bathrooms,the kitchen and utensils, the beach chairs and umbrellas, the games, believe it or not, and the layout. Everyone... more at the complex was extremely professional and warm and the location, you can’t beat! It’s quiet it’s private and only a short drive to downtown Kona. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the big island. less

Best Condo & Host Ever!

Our vacation was not what we expected due to flight cancellations and illness. However, the one bright spot was how Mahri, the condo host and her on site crew, Leslie & Weng, handled it. After arriving a day late due to flight cancellations and then... more having to go to urgent care because we came down with a bad cold/cough, my wife and I unfortunately were not able to partake in many of the activities we had hoped to experience. However, hearing about out situation, Mahri agreed to let us stay an extra day and half which made things so much easier. The condo was clean, beautifully upgraded and well stocked. The location on site was perfect and the Kanaloa facilities, as always, were meticulously groomed and peaceful. Thanks to Mahri’s graciousness, I was even able to snorkel the last 2 days at a gorgeous beach where a pod of spinner dolphins with their calves approached me in the water - it was a special moment. We’ll definitely be back to one of Mari’s condos at Kanaloa to experience what we missed this trip. Thanks Mahri! less

Beautiful Serene Loacation

We spent a few days in early Aug. This condo had everything we wanted in a vacation home. First, the fabulous ocean view. Enjoyed our morning and evenings seeing people canoe and boats coming in. A home filled with good quality beach chairs/ towels, snorkels... more and water shoes. This made our beach visits even better. The grocery store was minutes away and I could use the kitchen which was well stocked. Just 15min away from Kona, we did the manta ray tour and the Mina kea sunset tours. Very memorable stay less

Amazing Condo

The condo was amazing. Well stocked with basic necessities. We even found a crock pot and some beach stuff, which was a nice bonus. The individual room AC units cooled things down quickly when needed. I think the only thing that was a negative was... more humidity had gotten to the few spice containers that were there; they were just clumped unusable balls. The layout was comfy and homey. The binder was a nice touch with lots of good tips. I think my absolute favorite was opening up the lanai into the dinning room, walking out onto it, and just watching/listening to the waves hit against the lava rock. It was so peaceful just sitting there, sipping on coffee, and taking it all in. Perfect view of the nightly sunset. My family and I couldn't have been happier. If/when we get back to Kona, I would love to stay there again! less

Gorgeous View

The best stay we have had anywhere! Amazing views with a picturesque sunset every night right from our condo. This place had everything that we could need to make a perfect island get away with all of the comforts of home. The community was respectful... more and it felt like a private get away. Close to great restaurants and beaches. Perfect vacation! less

Best View Ever

I wanted to say the view from the condo and the closeness to the ocean was just fabulous!! The kitchen as well was stocked with just about any object a cook might desire. Great appliances too including washing and dryer. Very comfortable beds in both... more bedrooms… However, many of the inside walls were marked, dirty, or needed to be touched up and/or repainted in all almost all rooms (with peeling paint in several areas). The living room furniture was stained and appeared dirty- if u picked up a couch cushion u would have wished u didn’t with more stains on the underside as well as crumbs of chips, crackers etc…under the cushions. The garbage cabinet area by the kitchen sink was absolutely filthy as well as the garbage can. And lastly, many artifacts, shelves, and lamp shades (inside and out) were covered in dust. Hopefully the cleaning crew gets changed and a bit if renovating done… less

Lovely condo in Keahou, Kona

Kanaloa 1901 is a lovely 2 bedroom condo right on the ocean. Clean, spacious, updated and fully equipped - it was a joy to stay here. Waking up to the birds, the warm weather and ocean waves is always a plus in February and March.... more The few things that needed attention were quickly fixed and all else worked well. We would definitely stay here again. Thankyou Mhari and manager Lisa! less

Great Place

We have stayed in many vacation rentals. This is the only one that was even better than the pictures and we loved our stay there. Our only concern was having to strip beds, etc. before leaving. This seems excessive considering the price which includes a... more cleaning fee. less

Beautiful view

We love staying in Kona and this on the shore condo was great. It was well updated and clean. Nice and quiet due to gated drive. Only downside is it has a unit above and you can hear footsteps. Would stay again.

Amazing

What can I say? Amazing! Beautiful all around, from the grounds to that ocean front view. My husband, daughter and my mother stayed here for a week in February. We had a great time, plenty of room, great kitchen and amenities. We will definitely stay... more here again. less

Great Condo

Amazing Condo. The pictures of the view do not do it justice. Bright spacious with all the amenities + this condo is bigger than it looks! Condo is also equipped with a few smaller items (coffee filters, dish soap etc) which is a really nice... more feature. Great stay - will be back. less

Kanaloa at Kona, Condo 1901

Mahalo for the dreamy stay at Condo 1901! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We enjoyed being right on the ocean! We sat out on the lanai whenever we could to watch the outriggers, boats and pods if spinner dolphins. We also enjoyed being almost at the... more point of Keauhou Bay and being able to watch the boats who brought out the snorkelers to watch the manta rays feeding at night. It was a definite 5 Star stay! less
