Great condo with ocean views

We recently stayed in a condo at Kanaloa at Kona which was everything and more as described. The location was perfect for us - close to Kona but far enough away that avoided crowds and noise (we did have a rental car). The condo itself had good breezes so no air conditioning was necessary for our December stay. Nice view of ocean - we did see dolphins and humpback whales from front deck. The ocean front pool was directly in front of condo and mostly a quiet crowd. Upon arrival, there was a nice selection of local fruits and Kona coffee which we enjoyed throughout the visit. The kitchen was well appointed with dishes, pans, etc for cooking as well as spices, sauces which were much appreciated. A winner for sure. less

— Donald, Stayed 01/04/2024

One of the best in Kanaloa!

2503 is one of the best in the complex if you enjoy a well equipped condo with direct views of the ocean. It is absolutely the cleanest of any of the units we’ve rented and the kitchen included EVERYTHING we needed or could ever need, right down to spices and seasonings. We were delighted to find a welcome basket upon our arrival which included Kanalani Ohana Farm Organic coffee, the best on the Island! less

— Linda, Stayed 12/14/2023

Loved Kanaloa at Kona, but will stay a different unit next time

Kanaloa is a great location in Kona, and this unit is a nice location within Kanaloa if you want to be near the pool and have an ocean view. The two lanais are great to have, you can watch the sunrise on one and the sunset on the other. The open floor plan allows a nice cross breeze which keeps the unit cool. We felt is was quiet and spacious for our family of four and we will visit KAK again. We did have several issues with the unit, and although the local manger was responsive, they could not solve too much. We never did have WiFi working during out trip, despite a visit by the cable company we had to wait for. We also never had AC in the master bedroom, but the living room AC worked nice. In addition to waiting for the cable company we had to wait for a plumber to check on an issue. It seemed there was some deferred maintenance in the unit. We never did get a response from the owner Karen Glick via text or email but someone from the management company did email several days later. Kanoloa at Kona is a great choice for our stay, but we will seek out a different unit next time due to some of the issues that we had to deal with. less

— John, Stayed 07/05/2023

Awesome stay

This is such an awesome place to stay. We stayed there for 3 weeks and it was fabulous. The room itself was great and very comfortable. The view is a million dollar view. Every morning. We were able to sit outside and have breakfast with a great view of the ocean. Also we were able to sit by the ocean and watch the sunset every night. Karen is such a great hostess. Renting was a breeze and everything was perfect. We will definitely be back. We have been to the big island many times and this was by far the best condo we have ever stayed in. ❤️ less

— Sharon, Stayed 05/30/2023

Kanola at Kona

We stayed at Kanaloa at Kona in March 2023. The condo itself had everything we needed while on vacation. The lanai was was the perfect location to watch sunsets. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Prior to arriving in Hawaii the owners were answered all of my many questions. We would definitely recommend Kanola at Kona. less

— Dawn, Stayed 03/24/2023

Great Stay

We had a great time at our Kanaloa condo 2503. It is steps away from all three pools and the tennis court. Unimpeded view of sunsets from main lanai, with table and chairs for dinners. Sunrise view from bedroom lanai with chairs for morning coffee. Kitchen fully stocked, even food baggies for picnics and foil for bbqs. Comfy furniture including a real innerspring mattress in the sofa sleeper for my sister’s stay. AC in each room, screens for night breeze. Kanaloa is an older development but very well managed, lovely landscaping and lots of parking. Our family has met up there for years and plan to continue. less

— Rebecca, Stayed 03/06/2023

Condo 2503

We chose this condo because of the gorgeous ocean view. It was in a good location on the island and behind a security gate which was nice. The bed was very comfortable. The condo was acceptable although it is a little outdated and worn and could use some paint and updating. The washer and dryer was nice to have although we were surprised we were asked to wash all the towels before we left by a note on the refrigerator. We had to ask Rita for laundry soap. She was very responsive. We had to go out and buy shower soap as there was none in the condo when we arrived. The chair in the entrance was not there (as shown in the photos) and we had to take a lawn chair down to take our shoes off and on. less

— J and J, Stayed 02/04/2023

Nice getaway

Great location. Everthing you needed was available.

— Phyllis, Stayed 12/06/2022

Kanaloa

Enjoyed the cross breeze. Great location.

— thomas, Stayed 10/30/2022

amazing view and hospitality of owner

I stayed for 4 nights and the most impressive part is its view. I have never stayed with such an amazing ocean view. unit was spacious for 2 with a plenty of towel and well cleaned. Another amazing part is the owner, Ali's hospitality. When checked in, I found a basketful of fruits and local items showing welcome. And when I couldn't find a coffee filter, Ali bought them the next morning with a welcoming smile, which impressed me very much and thank him a lot. If I make a picky comment, the sliding windows to the lanai were so stubborn that I had difficult to open and close them. However in total, I definitely stay in this unit next time. less

— Yumiko, Stayed 09/23/2022

Gorgeous!

We have been to Kona several times, and this was the nicest resort we've had the pleasure to stay at. The grounds are gorgeous, the condo spacious and the location is fantastic. Being the condo is a true waterfront condo, the views of the ocean were spectacular. I love the sounds of the waves and the tropical birds. Simply the paradise we travel for. The condo had everything we hoped for to include beach equipment. The kitchen is large and well stocked. The newly remodeled shower was a pleasant surprise. We added the air conditioning package which was well worth it as coming from rain and snow, it took us a while to get used to 84 degree weather! This was truly a vacation for our memory books and I've already recommended this condo to a friend. less

— Martha, Stayed 05/20/2022

perfect condo, perfect location, great communication

Great commuinication from start to finish with the rental. It's such a charming condo, with an A+ view! The whole complex is very nice, we love it there and would like to come back !

— Laura, Stayed 03/30/2022

Perfect Spot

The condo is well furnished and very well maintained. The view of the ocean from the unit’s lanai is striking. There is a gentle ocean cross breeze often blowing through the unit. All of the units appliances, kitchen ware and consumer electronics are state of the art and up to date. I just completed my fifth stay at the condo and with each succeeding visit, I notice the owner’s focus on continually improving the property. He is gracious and genuinely concerned with his guests enjoying their visit. The only issue that might be a concern for some with mobility issues is that it is a second floor unit with no elevator, just stairs so a wheelchair or crutches could be a problem. Otherwise, it is a perfect spot! less

— dennis, Stayed 03/07/2022

what a view!

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights while we explored the Kona area of the Big Island. We loved the fantastic ocean-front view of this condo resort, and watched the sunset almost every night while we enjoyed a snack and cocktail on the balcony. The resort was beautifully manicured, quiet, and had all the ammenities we were looking for...pool, hot tub, tennis court. The condo was very spacious, and had all the ammenities we could ask for...fully stocked kitchen, wifi, washer/dryer, bath and shower, air cocnditioning and good air circulation. The condo was a bit outdated in it's decor, but we didn't mind since we were spending our days out and about. Would definitely stay here again just to see that ocean sunset view! Our host was informative and quick to reply to any questions we had. Thanks for a great stay! less

— Amy, Stayed 02/23/2022

Great Sunset location

My husband and I spent an enjoyable 4 nights in this ground floor condo. The condo faced the ocean front pool and had a front row seat to beautiful sunsets. The interior was spotless and we enjoyed having an icemaker which is on the top of my husband's vacation wish list. The kitchen lacked some basic cooking items, such as a pizza pan which most people tend to buy at least once when away from home. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable but faced the parking and access road which if the condos are busy could be a problem for light sleepers. We spent the majority of our time relaxing on the lanai. The condo is perfect for a couple who want to be close to all the amenities this resort has to offer. less

— Roni, Stayed 12/06/2021

Beautiful!

This condo has everything you need and has the best view of the ocean! Truly amazing service and communication from the host, and absolutely would stay here again!

— Dawn, Stayed 10/07/2021

Our condo at Kanaloa room 2503

This is the 3rd time we have stayed at Kanaloa. We loved our room and view of the pool and ocean, we had everything we need and more. Very comfortable

— Deborah, Stayed 05/24/2021

Great Sunset Views

We loved being able to watch the sunset from the balcony every evening! The condo is conveniently located in Kona without being in the middle of the extremely touristy area. The pools and grounds are well maintained. The condo itself could use some updating, but everything was in working order and "as advertised" for our visit. We would recommend it for those wanting to visit Kona. less

— Kimberley, Stayed 03/11/2020

Condo

Best view condo. Condo nice but needs updating. Stairs hard for handicapped people. Enjoyed our stay. Nice to meet Al.

— Richard, Stayed 03/01/2020

Great Condo/Great Complex

My recent stay was fourth visit to this condo which should say it all. Great view and great location overlooking the Oceanside swimming pool. Very well furnished with an emphasis on fine tropical woods. The kitchen is well equipped and well stocked with condiments. Only qualification is that it is a second floor unit with no elevator so someone with mobility issues might have trouble navigating the stairs. less

— dennis, Stayed 11/26/2019

Location, location, location...

My wife and I stayed at Kanaloa in condo 2503 for 2 weeks during October, 2019. This is our 5th visit to Kanaloa and we've stayed in as many different units all around the complex. We chose 2503 primarily because of its location near the pool and its view of the ocean, all while being offered at a competitive rate. We were not disappointed! Our favorite time and activity each day was having breakfast on the lanai while listening to the birds awake and watching the dolphins swim by. We were a bit too early for whales but this would be a great place to see them in season! So why did I rate it a 4 out of 5? 5 implies perfection, and while much of our stay was perfect, especially the location of condo 2503, it is a bit too worn to be a 5. That said, it is comfortable, well appointed in all rooms, everything worked to our satisfaction, and we'd stay there again with no hesitation. Parking iss close by with easy access and you barely had to think about going to the pool and you were there. The grounds are well kept and we love just walking around Kanaloa to see the flora, fauna, and gorgeous views. I could go on and on about how much we love staying at Kanaloa and the Big Island in general but that's for you to discover for yourselves! less

— Paul, Stayed 11/05/2019

LOVELY 2nd floor condo

The condo was beautifully appointed and very spacious. Kitchen was well supplied for every need. Wonderful view of the ocean. Local fruit company left a lovely welcome basket which was a huge blessing! Never had that before. Plus owner left a foldable cooler bag so appreciated and very useful. Very close to small shopping center with eateries and grocery store. DOWNSIDES- No real swimming beach was a downer and no walking paths and carrying all 6 pieces of luggage was very difficult on 2nd floor in heat! Never again! But if you are young and no luggage it s a very gorgeous condo. less

— DAWN, Stayed 07/21/2019

Coming Home

My wife I and come to the Big Island every year for about the last ten years. The first couple of years we stayed at other places and in our exploring we found Kanaloa Condos. We stayed at another unit before we found Al’s place. That was probably 6 or 7 years ago. During our first stay the air -con did not work in the bedroom and we contacted Al and we can came up with a solution that worked for of us, and I must say Al was very wanting to make things right. Which was great. Because of this experience and also the ocean view, well equiped and comfortable unit we are yearly regulars at Al’s place. When we get there it is always like coming home. less

— Marc , Stayed 05/24/2019

Condo 2503

We had a restful visit and found the condo met all our expectations. All equipment (fans, AC, etc.) functioned as expected and the place was clean and in order when we arrived. We did have some early on issues with the TV system but managed to get it resolved. Also, one morning we both went out on the ocean-side deck and shut the slider which self-locked! This was early (6:30) so waited about 1/2 hour for a maintenance man to appear and get us back into the condo. You may wish to warn people to not completely close the slider when on the deck in case it locks preventing reentry. less

— William, Stayed 04/25/2019

Satisfied Customer

Great location, great view and the condo has all the amenities to make the stay comfortable and homie. Also the complex very nice. Would definitely returned.

— Norman and Josie, Stayed 03/27/2019

Well Stocked Condo in a Great Location!

We stayed in 2503 for a week and it was fabulous! There was a gift basket with local fruit, jam, and coffee upon arrive, which was so nice considering we arrived around 9:30 p.m. Definitely a nice touch! The condo was stocked with everything we needed including beach toys, towels, paper products, etc... We ate most meals on the lanai, and the kitchen was well stocked too. The grills located on the property were perfect for cooking. The lanai overlooked the pool and ocean, allowing us to listen to the waves crash. We've been to the Big Island a few times and the location of this condo was perfect, close to Kona but not in the middle of the bad traffic. The only semi-negative thing about the condo was that it is a bit dated, although very well maintained and clean. We appreciated our time in 2503 and hope to return soon! less

— Sarah, Stayed 03/07/2019

KONA CONDO 2503 REVIEW

Condo #2503, at Kanaloa at Kona, is a great property with a great view. However, the property needs some updating and care. There were numerous little things that would have made our stay more enjoyable had they been cleaned, fixed or replaced. Examples: Kitchen faucet difficult to move and leaks around the base. Lighting is poor, with outdated or burned out CFL's. The carpet is loose on stairs. Long vertical blinds have missing or broken blades. The sliding door tracks were so dirty we had to clean to open/close them. Stereo and 1 of 2 TV's not working. The knives were poor quality and dull. The property could provide a couple of beach chairs. There were no pens, paper, scissors or surface cleaners available. Again many small issues that could readily be fixed to provide a 5 star experience. We would watch for further reviews before deciding to return to this property. less

— George, Stayed 02/11/2019

Large and comfortable

This was an ideal condo from our perspective - beautifully located overlooking the BBQ area, the “ocean pool”, and the ocean - west facing sunsets. The king sized bed was comfortable and having the two lanais (west facing towards the ocean and east facing off the bedroom) were well appointed, as well as roomy. The two bathrooms were nice to have - one of which has been upgraded, the other not. There were various condiments in the cupboards. The kitchen knives, although numerous could use some professional sharpening, and the cupboards themselves could use some attention (mainly realigning a few doors). The TV could be a bit more modern. However, everything (appliances) worked well. The furniture was in good condition. We found the interior to be on the dark side and a more fastidious cleaning could have been done in the kitchen. All that said, we would definitely go back - a great vacation from our perspective. less

— Muriel/Blake, Stayed 01/27/2019

A nice condo

We enjoyed our week in condo 2503. It has a nice ocean view of sunsets and looks over a swimming pool. A good location, very quiet. The clothes dryer worked, but was very slow.

— George, Stayed 12/21/2018

Neat Spot

Delightful unit. Exceptionally well appointed and furnished. My second stay at the condo and I would hope to return in the future. The kitchen comes well stocked with all the seasonings and spices and condiments (and utensils) you would need to turn out some fine cuisine. Nice view as well. There is a gentle cross breeze blowing through the unit so I found no need to use the air conditioning or even the ceiling fans. The only qualification is that as a second floor unit with no elevator someone with mobility issues might have trouble getting us and downstairs. less

— dennis, Stayed 12/11/2018

Perfect accommodation

The view from the balcony to the sunrise and sunset was spectacular. The apartment had everything we needed to stay. The kitchen was well equipped. Perhaps we just missed the clothes dryer. We've been here for the second time, and if we ever come back to Hawaii, we'll probably live here. less

— Miroslav, Stayed 10/22/2018

Beautiful View

We loved the view, hearing the ocean, the generous gift basket, and all the extras (ice chest, boogie boards, beach towels, etc). The furnishings were as nice as the photos online. Eat at Sam Choy’s For the food and view.

— Nancy, Stayed 10/07/2018

Another great stay!

We have stayed in this condo once before and that's why we returned! A very nice place, well equipped, and of course a beautiful view! Thank you for sharing your home with us again! Can't wait to return hopefully in 6mos to 9 mos.

— Kristi, Stayed 08/07/2018

WE HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL...RELAXING TIME...WE WERE EXHAUSTED AND JUST WANTED TO CHILL...WE HIT COSTCO ON THE WAY TO THE CONDO AND WE ALMOST NEVER LEFT...THE CONDO HAD ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEED..WE LOVED THE OCEAN POOL VIEW DURING THE DAY AND WAKING UP TO THE SUN COMING UP OVER THE MOUNTAINS....WE WERE SOOOOOOOO SAD TO LEAVE.....WE CANT WAIT TO COME BACK... less

— cynthia, Stayed 08/13/2017

Wonderful Place To Stay

Great Tiime. Great condo. Very much hope to return.

Soothing Surf!

Nothing like going to sleep to the sound of the surf--pretty big at this time of the year. The condo had everything we needed and was convenient to the oceanfront pool. Dinner of BBQ'ed steak at sunset on the lanai--it doesn't get much better than that. Met the owner a couple of times and he showed us lots of "aloha"--things to do, etc. We would like to make this an annual affair. less

— Linda, Stayed 03/14/2017

We

Kanaloa at Kona is an excellent place to stay, away from the hustle and bustle of Kailua-Kona, and having the ocean view from #2503 makes it even better. The condo is nicely decorated and the kitchen was very well equipped. We liked the proximity of the adult pool, which was just as few steps for us as the Ocean View Pool that we looked over to see the awesome sunsets. Al was a really nice host, and we felt very pampered. less

— Elaine & Tom, Stayed 02/28/2017

Ahh....time to relax, and recouperate

- Nice spacious condo. back lanai overlooking pool and ocean front. - Close by food shopping, and drive to Queen K highway to get to all places within a few minutes. - Fans on throughout the day, was comfortable w/o air conditioner usage. - Convenient parking, front desk personnel great for checking in and receiving packages during holiday time. - Parking space for unit, and visitor spaces if needed. - The pool and hot tub great hydrotherapy..... - Quiet at night, and felt secure all the time during stay.. - Recommend Kanaloa at Kona, Condo 2503 for your visit to the Big Island less

— Nelson, Stayed 01/12/2017

Great Unit/Great Complex

The condo is clean, well equipped, well maintained. The furnishings are all of tropical woods, like Koa and teak. It overlooks the Ocean Pool area with a great view of the ocean beyond. The landscaping around the condo and throughout the Kanaloa complex is exceptional, the stuff of travel brochures. The unit has two new flat panel TV's, though I never turned them on during my recent stay. Internet access is perfect. I had no need to turn on the air conditioner, as there was a continuous cross breeze blowing throughout my visit there. It is a second floor unit which is great for the view, but with no elevator, the stairs might present a problem for someone with mobility concerns. Otherwise, I can't imagine anyone having any sort of concern with this condo. less

— dennis, Stayed 12/08/2016

Condo 2503

Awesome place! Probably the best condo we have ever stayed in. View is astounding and its close to stores etc. Very quiet. Even enjoyed the private Hawaiian wedding that occurred at the pool one day. Very well equipped. We left behind a cheap set of tongs we bought for the BBQ. It was our first trip to the 'big island' and if we return we'll be back at Kanaloa! less

— Jacqueline, Stayed 11/19/2016

Thoroughly Enjoyed!

I stayed in Condo 2503 for a week in November and absolutely loved it. It was still pretty warm so paying for the air conditioning is definitely worth it. The kitchen is well stocked with a good selection of cookware and has good quality dishes and utensils, which I appreciate. I'm a tea drinker so I missed having an electric tea kettle but managed to boil water on the stove. Sitting on the large balcony overlooking the ocean became a morning ritual. I loved the grounds at Kanaloa and used the poolside grill nightly then ate on the adjoining patio watching the sunset over the ocean. Can't wait to return! less

— mary a, Stayed 11/11/2016

Best unit in the complex

Another renter had recommended this unit owned by Al Gulick, having used another of his units previously and happy with the owner's service. This unit has one of the best views in the complex. you are on second story with a lanai view of the pool and the ocean beyond. watch and hear the waves crash against the lava shoreline. watch to pods of dolphin swim past. beautiful sunsets each night. an impeccably clean unit. do get the aid conditioning option as the weather can get very humid. bed is firm and comfortable. shower in master and bath-shower in the second bath. kitchen well equipped. comfortable furniture (sofa folds into queen sleeper for guests). laundry in unit is perfect, though the dryer seems to take forever to dry the loads. just remember that this is a second story unit with an interior stairs to the living area. we left our golf clubs inside the front door, not lugging thing to the top. if you are handicapped, consider one of Al's first floor units. Overall, a great place to stay. less

— Gordon, Stayed 09/23/2016

Great view and great location

This unit is terrific in location within the complex for use of the pool and tennis courts, but it's also got a great view. The kitchen had everything I needed and there was plenty of space. Nicely there were no bugs inside, and the unit smelled fresh and clean. Very happy with my rental...and will be back! less

— Douglas, Stayed 08/15/2016

Clean Condo, Great Views

I stayed at this condo for 5 nights with my toddler and husband. It has a king size bed, available blow up mattress and the couch pulls out so it will accommodate more guests which is a nice option. It was very clean and comfortable, but is dated (which didn't bother me as long as its clean). We paid for the air conditioning which made a huge difference. The stairs to the condo are on the inside (which I didn't know) and it proved to be quite a pain trying to keep my 21 month old son safe and from falling down them. I called the owner of unit and aloha condos to see if a baby gate was available but never heard back from anyone. I would suggest that you provide a baby gate in the unit to make the stairs more safe. Other than that, we had a great stay and it has a nice view of the pool and ocean. less

— Destiny , Stayed 07/24/2016

We'll Be Coming Back!

Wonderful condo for a short stay in Kona. The condo had everything we needed and the view from the lanai was sweet. Even saw some dolphins spinning through the air. Hope to come back to this place.

— Charles, Stayed 07/08/2016

Already Planning Our Return to Kanaloa

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stays at Kanaloa in 2503 as well as in Al's two bedroom unit (3702). Both units offer great ocean views and everything we need. A friendly and accommodating host who lives only 10 minutes away. We hope to be back perhaps even later this year. less

Fabulous Condo

We loved our return stay at this condo at Kanaloa at Kona. The condo is really well equipped, the location is quiet, the view is fabulous, there is plenty to do nearby and the welcome basket is a really lovely touch. Thank you again. We will definitely be back! less

very nice place

Although we've stayed at the Kanaloa each year for many years on vacation, this was our first stay at #2503. Beautiful condo with everything you need. Felt right at home for the entire week we were there. The view was awesome as well. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home! See you next year! less

Wonderful

Perfect location. We enjoyed listening to the waves crash as we watched the swell roll in. Our condo was very clean and extremely comfortable. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the fresh ocean air. Pool and BBQ right outside our door. Upon arrival we were greeted with an organic fruit basket that was amazing. One morning we drove over to the farm where the basket came from. That excursion included The Painted Church, Captain Cook and Sacred City National Park and we returned in time for an afternoon snorkel cruise out of Keahou Bay. This location is perfect! Yes, definitely book this condo, if it is available. less

Great View

can’t imagine that you can get a better view for the money. View from the lanai is better than what is shown in the pictures. Location is about 6 miles from the Kailu –Kona village and there is a shopping center just up the hill. The property grounds are well maintained and all of the staff seemed very friendly. The condo is a little dated but for the money you can’t complain. The condo had everything we needed including beach chairs, umbrella, and snorkel set. One other nice touch is that the condo was stocked with toilet paper, garbage bags, and paper towels. Great place to stay if you want the extra space and a great view. less

Perfect setting and view!

My husband and I spent 10 ngts in the condo. We enjoyed the view off the lanai every morning and evening. The condo had everything we needed for cooking and the owner was very kind and helpful when I called to ask a question about wireless internet. We really enjoyed the basket of fresh fruits. jams. and muffins that the owner left too! Thank you! We would recommend this condo to anyone thinking of visiting Kona and will hopefully be back again soon! less

Great ocean views and oceant front pool was easily accesable

We would go back and stay here anytime. Views, location and amenities were all great. Al even left us a gift basket of local foods!

Outstanding unit/location with some upgrades needed.

Well kept unit, everything worked well with the exception of the sliding doors at the front and rear. Appears that the tracks/guides are corroded and need replacement. Other than that we were very pleased with the unit and the included amenities. Neighbors upstairs were annoying, stomping around at 1am but you can't control everything..... Bottom line is that we would and will attempt to return to this unit in the future. less

Nice, big, well-equipped 1 BR condo with a view

We were a family of four. Our two girls shared the big sofa bed in the living room. It was really nice to have AC available. View of the pool and ocean. Wifi worked great. Beach gear available for use. Well-stocked kitchen. Handy location near grocery store, restaurants, between Kailua and Kealakekua. Nice owner, gift basket with fruit, jam and coffee upon arrival. Easy checkin/checkout. Would stay there again if I was staying on the Kona coast. less

A Great Winter Vacation

The condo was very comfortable, quiet location, and had a perfect view of the ocean from the lanai. We were able to watch the Whales and spinner dolphins swim by from the lanai. The unit was well stocked with dry goods and household items, but had no cleaning supplies. A trip to Target took care of that. The Unit does need updating; the bathrooms and kitchen need to be updated with solid surface countertops and modern fixtures and appliances. The bath room tub fixtures/knobs were heavily corroded and questionable every time they were used. The "nineteen eighty's" tile and unsealed grout for counter tops are havens for germs and bacteria. While the washer and dryer are functional, it would be nice if they were updated. We were scheduled for a mid-stay cleaning (and billed $135), however it did not happen, so we did our own cleaning and vacuuming. The cleaning fee was high compared to Outriggers fee for the same size unit. Al reimbursed us for the mid-stay cleaning. Because of its closeness to the ocean, a "salt film" covers everything. All in all, we had a great winter vacation. less

Very nice Condo

Spacious, private, comfortable; Mbath dated, owner local and available. But aloha Condos charge an outrageous "cleaning fee", buyer beware.

our whole experience was wonderful. the view from the condo fir

i am not sure why but we did not have a cleaner come the first week of our stay. so we basically looked after ourselves. i do wish there had been more cleaning supplies left in the condo. there was basically nothing. the condo does need a good clean including washing the outside patio. the bed was a bit hard but adequate. the owner is very willing to fix anything that needs fixing. the location is great the evenings are very quiet. we loved the view from the patio the best. less

Wonderfully quiet location,amazing oceanviews and absolutely wel

My husband and I Stayed for approximately 10 nights and had an amazing holidya..The resort itself is located at the end of a residetnial area so it is very peaceful and away from the husle and bustle, yet centrally located to shops, tours etc..The condo itself is oceanfront and has a spacious lanai with a wetbar that provides access to views of the surf, sunsets etc..The condo is privately owned by al, who was very kind and granted us a late check out and a welcome basket upon your arrival!! We loved, loved the condo it was so well equipped,,the resort itself is well maintained..We give it a 10 out of 10!!! less

9 nights with No Worries!

Yes this unit is good, no worries here,large 1 bedroom, bed is comfortable and a king size, linens were great,fan in bedroomkept things cool with multiple window shutters to use although 2 of them wouldnt open, but im sure that will be remedied for future, ensuite for master is older but funtional i used it for all my stuff and getting ready while hubby used the main bathroom. We used the main bathroom shower mostly , also fine but older, everything worked the way it should, even your own back lanai to get morning sun with. Nice chairs for that area and table. no worries there! Kitchen also had everything i needed except a coffee grinder, but everything else was good, large fridge stove, no mini anything.Floors are done mostly in tile that is cool for your feet, but i havent mentioned the best part which was the large lanai overlooking pool and water, you will like this as it is great! again, No Worries! Al Gulick was responsive and easy to deal with and i can reccomend this to anyone exept there is quite afew steps to get up to the unit. we will be back im sure. love kona.ooops i forgot the coolers and boogie boards are in the fron lanai cabinet. bye for now carolyn from canada less

Wonderful sunsets wowed us.

From first to last the service was quick and competent. The furnishings were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, the location was convenient. The view of the Pacific was magnificent and overlooking the pool was a plus. It was a short walk to the grocery and to the bay. The lack of signs kept our destination a mystery for the first few minutes. less

Day in Paradise

Quite, not crowed. The condo was very clean, comfortable & roomy. The owner left some wonderful fruits,coffee&jams.; We have been to most islands and was this island is hotter, and each beach has different things. The snorkeling was wonderful. We will be coming back I think this is my favorite. I appreciate the owners sharing. Olympia Wa. less

A very nice and quiet location which is perfect for enjoying the

The area is clean and near enough to hear the waves crashing the shores in the evening. Upon arrival an exotic welcome tray filled with exotic fruits was there for us; lilikoi, mango, avocado to mention a few along with the organic garden these were grown in. We ate in some evenings, grabbed some local food and brought it back to the condo (poi, lomi salmon, kalua pig, lau-lau available at KTI in the nearby shopping center). We enjoyed hiking in the morning and golfing on the Kohala Coast and quiet evenings at the resort. Kanaloa Condos is very nicely located in a very private setting, we will stay there as long as it remains a hidden paradise for us. less
