We had a wonderful stay at Bonnie and Kurt's condo. It was exceptionally equipped with everything you could possibly need. It is spacious and very comfortable. We had a wonderful welcome basket on the counter when we arrived. We had a little glitch with the air conditioning the morning after our arrival . Tom, the local contact person, was so helpful and had a technician out to repair it very quickly even though it was a Sunday. I would recommend this condo unit to anyone wanting to stay in the Kona area. Close to the downtown district but far enough to be quiet and peaceful. I would rate it A plus. Thank you Bonnie and Kurt

We had a very pleasant stay in this condo. The unit was very well equipped with just about anything you may need. The owner has spent a lot of time organizing the unit which is very helpful to the occupants. The beds are the best factor about it. Both beds slept beautifully. Best investment thus far. It's in a great location. Super clean. I would recommend this unit to anyone and will find myself coming back to it if back in the area. Many thanks, Owners.

Unit 203 is a bargain! I’ve stayed in several different condos at Kanaloa – this one tops the list for being beautifully furnished, clean, and well maintained. My initial thought upon entering was that it was nicer than the photo’s depict. We typically go for an ocean front unit – but found the golf course lanai quite relaxing. I didn’t miss the ocean view but did occasionally long for the breeze of being close to the water, so will consider A/C next time. The KTA supermarket up the hill seems to improve every year – we’ll probably just skip the usual Costco stop from here on out. Overall, great stay and will certainly consider #203 for the next trip.

This is the first time we have visited the Big Island and the condo is beautiful. This was the perfect size for my wife and 3 kids. The owner contacted me prior to my visit and knowing we were traveling with a 1 year old, they provided a high chair and gates. This condo has everything, all you need to buy is food. There is a convenient grocery store less than 2 miles away. Hopefully we get the chance to visit again!

We had a great time staying in unit 203 at the Kanaloa at Kona resort. The condo itself was very well stocked, large and very clean. Loved the beds (its my biggest complaint usually). Lots of little things (spices, condiments, etc) were all taken care of. The welcome basket was very thoughtful and shows the great hospitality of its owners. We LOVED it! Sitting on the balcony watching the golfers stroll by was extremely relaxing and very quiet. The facilities in the complex were great. The pools were wonderful especially the oceanside one and we spent hours hanging out there with our 5 yr old. It was a short 5 min walk from the unit. We really enjoyed the fact that we were outside the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. We would HIGHLY recommend this unit and complex. We will definitely look them up the next time we visit the island. Mahalo!

We booked this condo for a surprise birthday stay for my Mom's 80th birthday. The moment she walked in she was happy. It was quiet and spacious (the master suite is to die for with it's own private lanai) and very well equipped. The three pools were perfect. From the Ocean pool we watched a pod of dolphins go by, saw tropical fish in the water, and enjoyed sunbathing while my Dad was able to read the paper under the shaded picnic area. It was great that we could all be together and enjoy what we each liked, all at the same time. There were many times we had the Adult pool all to ourselves. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. In addition to that the location overlooking the golf course made for perfect morning coffee on the lanai, as well as evening relaxing time after dinner. It was fun to watch the golfers as well. It was an absolutely great trip thanks to many things and this condo was icing on the cake. We would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to relax and unwind, yet be close to other activities (marina near by, groceries, snorkeling, you name it).

My husband and I have been to Hawaii, especially The Big Island, many times. Our first stay was at Kanaloa at Kona and we loved the facilities. We have stayed in many other rental units over the years and when we decided to return to Hawaii to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary we decided to return especially to Kanaloa at Kona and we found Unit #203!!! THE BEST EVER!! Kurt and Bonnie, the owners of the unit, were very gracious and accommodating from the start. Upon our arrival there was a beautiful floral arrangement of all the exotic flowers of the islands, an anniversary card, a bottle of champagne and a welcome basket with all sort of fruit, cookies and nuts. What could I say about the unit itself - it is apparent this is Kurt and Bonnie's second home, it is equipped with everything a person could possible need - definitely did not feel like a rental unit. The furnishing were amazing and very comfortable - right down to the sleep number bed. We called our Local Contact, Tom, for a minor problem and he was very helpful and accommodating. Kurt also called to assure the minor problem was resolved and that we were comfortable. This DEFINITELY will be the unit we will return to on our next trip. Mahalo and Aloha.

Over the course of six visits, we have stayed in a variety of accommodations on the Big Island, but this condo has surpassed all the rest. We knew we had arrived somewhere special when we saw the unexpected and much appreciated welcome basket. As we looked around the unit, it was clear that Kurt and Bonnie have gone to great lengths to make this a home away from home, equipping it with all the necessities as well as detailed descriptions and directions for everything from using appliances to making the most of your island visit.When we had a minor problem with equipment, the response was quick. The local caretaker, Tom, came by with a repairman, and when we returned to the condo, not only was the problem resolved, there was an exquisite flower arrangement on the dining table. This is the kind of gesture that you expect from a five-star hotel. We hope to plan our future visits far enough in advance that we can always stay here.

No beach here as the coast is quite rocky, but Magic Sands beach, just a few miles away, is one of the best snorkeling spot on the island, shallow enough for beginners, and better than Captain Cook in terms of "fish population". Also, the resort is close enough to Kailua-Kona (where one can even go via tramway). All in all, a very pleasant stay in the loveliest of condos which we recommend highly!

This was about our 5th visit to 203 and we love it. It is like our home away from Home. Everything you might want is there.

This time, we drove the Saddle Road between Hilo and Kona and it is wonderful. The local literature still say to stay off of it because it is narrow, bumpy, filled with turns and very dangerous. The truth is, it has been completely rebuilt during the past 6 years under the supervision of the Federal Highway authority and it is fantastic. 1-1/2 hours between Hilo and Kona. Wide smooth roadway with gentle turns.

If you want to play golf, be aware that the Kona Country Club course (adjacent to the condo) is closed until at least Spring 2014. That didn't bother us, but it might bother golfers.

The condo is much more lovely and larger than an internet picture can show. Easy access to many area attractions but in such a lovely and quiet area that lends to R&R; but just down the road from all the action. Better equipped than most vacation rentals, in fact it felt like our own luxury home. I could choose from a restful nights sleep in the king sized sleep number bed or a lazy nap in a large reclining chair the size of a full bed on one of the two decks. The soft clean water of the Island is so enjoyable from the luxury tiled shower in the large master bath. You could cook anything in the kitchen, in fact it was big enough for our who party to make a luau sized meal to eat on one deck looking over the golf course with peek a boo views of the ocean. Walk the grounds to the water- too rough to swim in but good for foot dipping and a stroll along the shore. All 3 pools of the property are enjoyable but with so many beaches nearby you may or may not need them. We stayed in april with no air conditioning, the vented windows and ceiling fan were cooling enough. We even had a welcome basket that greeted us.

This was our 8th trip to Hawaii (we have logged more than 3000 miles driving on the Big Island alone) and a 30th wedding anniversary trip. Firstly, let me highly recommend aloha Condo's website for your use (and I have no association with this group). Far and away the best selection and reasonable costs for these units. On the Big Island, I would suggest that unit #203 is one of the nicest locations on a golf course and near pretty much everything.The new owner's made sure we knew everything we needed, kept us informed and had a wonderful fruit basket waiting the day of arrival, no hassles, no fuss, very easy.You can walk easily to a nearby pool, the ocean and great views (but no ready access to the water and not the place you want to enter anyway). #203 is a large condo with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, great master bed (very nice quality), has all the features you need from full washer/dryer, great kitchen with plenty of supplies, two lanai's, and air conditioning (and Yes- AC is needed during the summer and fall when the "trades" are down).The location at Kanaloa at Kona is close to everything, but far enough away from some of the more congested area's to make your trip enjoyable. Near dock for snorkeling/dive trips (just a few minutes away), close to Place of Refuge (for sunsets & Hawaiian history), Volcanoe's (a long days trip), the State Park on ali drive (good for beginning snorkeler's). Good restaurant's in the nearby vicinity (I recommend Teshima's about 20 minutes away for a local asian flavor).On a scale of 10 (and you really have to pay a lot more for a 10), I would say this is a solid 8, with a qualification that using aloha Condo's site is the way to go, I've had less satisfaction renting directly from the resort itself (with higher costs). Plus the Kanaloa folks seem to be more interested in renting the units, than the comfort of the guests.Aloha from the big Island!

The property was quiet, not loud or busy like some hotels or resorts (maybe because we were there in July/first of august), and the staff were nice and kept the property spotless.

Our kids loved watching the geckos climbing the exterior walls, and we actually found two inside the condo (even with the doors and windows always closed). Since geckos in the home are considered good luck, we were happy to have them inside!

We used the snorkel gear at the Kahalu'u Beach just down the road and had the most amazing time seeing tropical fish!! We bought a cheap underwater camera to take lots of pictures of fish and turtles.

Our stay at Kanaloa condo 203 exceeded our expectations for our 30 year reunion. From our entry when we found someone had anticipated our arrival and left Hawaiian music, soft lighting, and some air conditioning on to greet us, to our departure, we remained delightfully surprised. Jim seemed to have anticipated our every need; from a cooler and ice packs we used when grocery shopping at Costco, to snorkel equipment, beach chairs and towels, detergent for the laundry, toiletries for the bathroom, a high speed internet connection, any cooking utensil we found a need for, a Hawaiian cookbook with simple recipes, and incredibly comfortable Tempurpedic style mattresses. We loved the Indonesian style daybed on what we dubbed the "sleeping porch!" The condo was spotlessly clean. The grounds are immaculately well-kept and the ocean-side pool was great! Had we had the time and inclination, we could have used the tennis courts for 12 hours a day. The proximity to a grocery store saved us money when we felt like kicking back and relaxing at home rather than heading out to a restaurant. For all of the reasons listed,we liked this condo better than the second one we rented in Waikoloa in fact. Besides the aforementioned attention to detail , we realized that what made it feel particularly special and "home" was the proliferation of Hawaiian artwork we made a point of admiring. Thanks Jim!

I reserved unit #203 at Kanaloa at Kona through aloha Condos. Our 8-day stay was outstanding in all aspects.Booking and instructions: Booking was efficient and our queries were answered promptly. Instructions to access the resort and the unit were crystal-clear and it was easy to find the condo even after dark.

The condo: Everything there is arranged to make your stay easy, comfortable and, enjoyable. The unit is perfectly clean and highly functional. The fact that beach equipment was provided and the welcome fruit basket are nice touches that the whole family appreciated. The unit is beautifully decorated and one can see its owner takes great care of it. Books, DVD, and a wealth of touristic information were other aspects we enjoyed. The kitchen is fully equipped and everything was in perfect working order. After long days touring the Big Island, it was great to have peaceful and pleasant dinners at the condo. We also all loved having breakfast on the lanai.

Kanaloa at Kona: Grounds are extremely well kept and pretty with all those flowers. We enjoyed the pools and the fact we could use the barbecues. Walking along the shore was another pleasure we had at Kanaloa.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would not hesitate one second to stay there again. We travel a lot and have rented condos and houses in many locations in Europe and the USa. This was definitely one of our best if not our best rental experiences.

This is our eighth consecutive year visiting the Big Island and our fifth stay at Kanaloa. This condo is by far one of the superior rentals that we have stayed in in this complex. The condo was not only clean and homey, but during the tsunamia warning the owners personally called us to offer their advise and assistance. The only thing we missed was the small refrigerator on the lanai, we like our beverages nearby in our evening relaxation period. We would highly recommend this unit and hope to aquire it again next year.

We stayed here for two weeks, the first time in this condo but a return visit to Kanaloa. The complex is away from the bustle of Kailua but handy to a shopping centre that has a lot of amenities.

The condo is very comfortable and well maintained. There are a lot of nice touches that you often don't find in a condo, like toiletries. The kitchen is well stocked to get you started if you want to cook. Both the lanais are equipped with comfy furniture and perfect for relaxing o dining outside.

Our only complaint was having to pay for cleaning twice in two weeks - and the cleaning fees are high. Other than that we would definitely recommend this condo.

Of all the condos we've visited, #203 was the best organized. All the closets were clearly labelled. There were detailed instruction books on the desk. And there were plenty of supplies. We therefore had a care-free stay.

We were delightfully surprised to find a gift basket from the owner at the door.

This condo is in a great location in the Kailua area. We enjoyed eating meals on the spacious and well-appointed lanai. The condo is well-suited for a couple with young children; it would be crowded for a couple with two teenagers. Although not on the ocean, the view across the fairways of the golf course are fine and relaxing. My only less than stellar statement is that the kitchen and baths have not been updated, so these areas of the condo feel old and tired.

We often travel as a family. It's always a challenge for us to find accommodation for 5, parents and 3 teenagers. Thus, when I could luckily reach the owner by phone, I felt very good about him as he was very kind and sincere to answer my questions and offer suggestions. He was very professionally communicative throughout our Hawaiian holiday. The location was away from the busy highway and was very quiet, yet very close to shopping and dinning. I believe that the owner vacations in the property when not renting. The place was more than we expected. It was just like being at one's elegantly, tastefully and beautifully decorated home with a large family kitchen, cozy living room, spacious dinning room as well as full cleaning and laundry amenities the family needs. The location of the condo was away from a busy pool, facing the vast green field. It was always quiet to fall asleep with windows open. We stayed at another private 2-bedroom condo in Maui and Oahu on this trip. If he had had the accommodation for 5 of us on these Islands, I would have chosen to stay at his property definitely. His place has been a big part of our good memories of our trip to the Big Island of Hawaii.

Our family stayed at Kanaloa at Kona #203 several years ago. It was our 3rd trip to the Big Island in 5 years, and our first stay at unit #203. By far, unit #203 was the nicest unit we stayed at. It was the most spacious, quietest, and most beautifully furnished. The unit is located on the edge of the golf course, and is situated away from the parking lot, so it is especially quiet. The very large living room looks out to the golf course. The furnishings are not only high quality, but tastefully done in a "tropical" theme, adding to the island experience. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the two bedrooms are very spacious. We stayed at a different unit at Kanaloa at Kona the prior year, but this unit was much nicer (and larger). I would highly recommend this condo for a vacation rental on the Big Island and would absolutely stay again in this unit.

I really appreciate it when someone 'gets it,' and Jim clearly does. The condo was a very welcoming and quiet place to come home to after a busy day. We are so glad we didn't stay a little farther north towards busy Kailua-Kona. All this at quite a reasonable price too.
