Perfect in every way!
This beautiful, well-kept condo had everything our family needed for a perfect vacation and much more that we didn’t even know we wanted! From a personal welcome note, to the stocked kitchen (spices, cooking oils and every kitchen appliance) to the great AC systems and... more
most comfortable beds.. we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! We loved watching gorgeous sunsets from the lanai and relaxing by the pool in the late afternoons. The kids were so happy to have boogie boards to use on our beach outings. Everything about this condo and the whole complex was exceptional.. we’d definitely stay here again on our next BI visit!

This was our third trip to the condo and as usual it was perfect. The home always has exactly what you need and want to stay in and enjoy that view. The distance to the pool and ocean is unbelievable. If you are looking to... more

Can't say enough positive things about this condo!
We just returned from a family trip to the Big Island where I celebrated my 40th birthday. I can't say enough about this condo! I appreciated being in constant communication with Lonna from the time we booked through our stay. The pictures don't do this... more
condo any justice! The location is perfect. I appreciate that the complex is in a gated community. We were steps away from multiple pools and the tennis courts. The best pool was the oceanfront pool, which is right near the lanai, but far enough away that you don't hear the other people at the pool from the condo. I was lucky to be able to enjoy perfect sunset views while sitting on the lanai most evenings. I also really appreciate all of the attention to detail that was put in to the condo. There are multiple notes and instructions throughout. We never had a question about how to use the TV, fans, etc. I highly suggest you visit the condo and take an inventory of items already supplied before you head to the store. The condo comes equipped with many of the things you would need to make your stay comfortable (spices, kitchen items, laundry detergent, etc.). We also had access to a small cooler, cooler bag and everything you would need for a day at the beach (beach towels, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards). We even tried pickle ball for the first time since we had access to all the equipment! Kanaloa at Kona 2602 was the perfect home away from home. I hope I'm lucky enough to be able to stay there again some day.

Best Stay Ever
Hands down, this was the best Hawaii vacation rental we have ever had. The home has an incredible view, impeccable decor, and fully stocked with anything you'd need for your stay. Having a covered parking spot just steps away from the front door was really... more
helpful, too. The community is very quiet and private (gated entrance w/ key required), and had 3 great pools. Lonna was a dream to work with; from our initial booking and throughout our stay, she kept us updated. When we return to the Kona area, we will definitely stay at this amazing home again.

Perfect place to stay in Kona
We have stayed in this condo 2 years in a row because it has wonderful amenities and a convenient location. This condo is well stocked, has beautiful sunset views and is steps from the ocean front pool. The owner is amazing and more than accomodating.

A Little Slice of Heaven
My family and I stayed at Lonna & Mike’s condo for a week and it was honestly the best rental we’ve ever stayed at. They run a very smooth operation and pay close attention to even the littlest details. The condo was immaculate, as the... more
pictures show, and the views were spectacular! I loved waking up early, watching the sunrise, and drinking my coffee on the lanai. Great location as well- short drive to the heart of Kona. Would recommend this condo to anyone looking to stay on the Big Island- we hope to stay again in the future! Also, Lonna is amazing at communication and making sure everything is in order for your upcoming stay. I should probably also add that the kitchen was so well stocked- honestly any spice you could want is available for use, in addition to plenty of olive oil and other cooking essentials. Definitely 5 stars!

Perfect for our family of 4
We just got back from our Hawaiian trip and our stay at Kanaloa at Kona #2602. The unit itself was amazing with all the comforts of home and even more. It appears the owners take great care in making certain that their guests are truly... more
welcomed. From the well stocked kitchen to the plush bathroom towels, we were not disappointed. There was even a cookbook in the kitchen for those who chose to try new recipes. The owners also kept a closet full of games and books as well as a shed full of beach toys for guests who ventured out to nearby beaches. We were also able to watch the sunsets right from the lanai and they were breathe taking. A word of caution should you choose to stay - do not go grocery shopping until to visit the condo as the owners really stock their kitchen well with lots of spices, oils, vinegars, etc. There is a grocery store that is a few minutes away (by car) should you need anything. The condo was right next to the ocean pool and bbq and the steps from the lanai made it easy to go to the pool (I noticed that not many condos in this resort had steps from the lanai and this was great, especially when returning from the pool for lunch). If you are looking for a perfect place to stay, then this would be the place. 5 stars is underrating this condo. If I could give it a higher rating, I would definitely do so. Thank you Lonna

I hope I can express how fantastic our stay was at Kanaloa Condo 2602. The communication with Lonna prior was prompt & informative. When we opened the door it was just as the beautiful pictures portrayed and was so clean and inviting that we immediately... more
felt “at home”. The location on the property is one of the best! The view from the lanai can’t be topped. Lonna had taken such time to make sure anyone’s needs are met. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, the bedding was comfortable, the bathrooms luxurious and there is helpful guides to use anything in the home. The homey touches of beach towels, games, books, tourist information, fun beach gear went above and beyond. We were taken aback by our welcome gift, so thoughtful. We have friends planning a trip and have already recommended a stay here. If we are ever lucky to return this is where we will stay without a doubt. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

From the moment we opened the door to Kanaloa, Kona 2602 we knew that it would be a wonderful Christmas vacation for us. We were prepared in every way with excellent hospitality with e-mails prior to arrival of driving directions and tips for a good... more
vacation. When we arrived a wonderful welcome gift and personal card from the owners was a great surprise. This open concept condo offers wonderful views of the ocean, pool and landscaping just steps from this unit. It was obvious that the owners have recently remodeled with upscale finishes and decor and chef's kitchen. Large bedrooms and baths, step -in showers and a great welcoming book orientating us to the condo and community. The beds are comfortable, amenities provided in the condo (ie: laundry, kitchen appliances, soaps, beach equipment) were so nice to have on hand and in great condition. Literally this is a plug and play condo leaving nothing to need or go and “get” besides your groceries. The view provided a wonderful wake up to our coffees in the morning and wonderful goodnight in the evening for sunset hour. Thank you for an exceptional family week to a place we have never been.

Aloha 2602
I am a repeat vacationer to the condo. Each stay has been a wonderful three week experience which definitely created a 5 star vacation. To begin with the condo is beautifully furnished and maintained, meets all one's needs in the kitchen to prepare a lovely... more
meal, separate dining area lends itself to casual or more formal meals, living area with large screen TV with internet connection throughout, beds/pillows are comfortable, and bathrooms are well stocked with towels and necessities. The lanai overlooking the grounds, ocean pool and the ocean is "my go to place" for morning coffee, relaxing with a book, or watching the beautiful sunsets. There is a selection of games, beach gear, beach towels, books and ice chests. The washer/dryer is a real plus and equipped with laundry needs. Parking is close which is a plus with suitcases and groceries. The grounds of Kanaloa are beautiful and maintained daily as are the three pools and tennis courts. A plus for me was that Kanaloa is grated with an attendant who patrols the grounds. As you can see by the pictures of the condo and Kanaloa, it is situated at the end of a small lovely residential area and the Kona Country Club golf course (open to the public). The Keauhou shopping area is close by with a great grocery store, eateries, Post Office, book store, art galleries, movie theater, hair salon and Urgent Care to mention a few. There is a trolley that takes you into Kona area which is loads of fun. On Saturday, the Farmers Market is a must! The overall location of Keauhou and Kanaloa are south of Kona and the airport, but close to the main highway to link you to the South, North, or East over to Hilo. After a day of golf, or hiking, or going to any of the nearby beaches, or exploring the island on land or on the ocean, it is always such a treat to return to 2602 to relax on the lanai or in the pool or use the common area BBQs for a delicious treat. Just a note, I live at the beach and always have a tan when I go to Kanaloa, but I use sunscreen and watch my time in the sun so as to not ruin my vacation with a sunburn. Your stay at 2602 in Kanaloa at Kona will illustrate the true Aloha spirit.

the initial contact when I inquired about renting #2602 until we arrived home we felt welcomed and cared for. The owners, Lonna and Mike, have thought of every detail to make their guests feel welcome. From the moment we arrived we immediately felt at home. We were welcomed with a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts and a bag of Kona blend coffee. The view from the Lani, where we spent most of our time, was beautiful and serene. We loved the close access to the pool too. The kitchen has everything you will need to prepare full meals including plenty of storage and a large fridge. With the supermarket in the nearby shopping center, it's easy to buy what you need. The furniture in the living room is very comfortable and the beds are the best, better than mine at home! The condo complex is very quiet at night and very well maintained. I highly recommend a stay in this condo. We have rented a number of vacation rentals over the years and #2602 was by far one of the best!

We did a lot of our own cooking which saved a ton of money as there are very few affordable dining out options on the Big Island.

The condo besides being beautiful was also very well stocked with dishes, cookware as well as essentials like seasonings, oil, paper towels, those things you only need a little of and don’t want to have to buy. It is also in a great location on the island, Kona airport, Costco and great beaches are all nearby. The pools were very convenient, an all adult pool, main pool and ocean front are all close by.

Wish We Could Have Stayed Forever!
Without a doubt, this condo is FIVE stars ! ***** Should be able to give it ten stars!! We had a great time at Condo #2602! We have been to the Big Island many times and have stayed in several different condos. We have stayed... more
at Kanaloa before, Keauhou Surf Racquet, Na Hale Keauhou, and Kolea in Waikoloa. This condo was the nicest by a wide margin of all the places we have stayed ! We loved this condo's location in the resort. We were close to the ocean pool (our favorite!) and the adult pool. The BBQ was super close and we enjoyed grilling our dinner a couple nights while we were there. This condo's parking spot was just down the sidewalk from the front door, and it is assigned to the condo, so we never had to spend time looking for a place to park when returning from our day's adventures. Nothing about this condo feels like a "rental". It is clearly a second "home" that the owners have put in much love and attention! It is very spacious, has quality furnishings and feels brand new with a huge spa like Master bathroom with a rain style shower head. It even has a wine cooler in the kitchen! And Woo-hoo for Air Conditioning! Kept us nice and cool during the heat of our summer trip. Condo even has a separate A/C system for the Master Bedroom. The view was awesome! Even beter than the photos! Our favorite thing was sitting on the lanai each evening and enjoying the sunset with our homemade mai tais and listening to the surf. We really prefer staying in the south Kona area, instead of north of the airport because we were so much closer to restaurants, the Manta Ray excursion boats, awesome snorkeling, kayaking shopping, groceries, etc. And it was an easy drive to Hapuna Beach and Hawi when we drove up there. We are already working on our plans to come back to #2602 next year and have already recommended this special place to our friends and family. Thank you Lonna and Mike for sharing your island home! We'll be back !!!!

The barbecue and pool are close enough it is like having them in your backyard, but far enough away that they do not distract.

A Fantastic Condo and Value on the Big Island
When you plan your vacation in Hawaii, you imagine the perfect setting overlooking palm trees, the impossibly blue ocean, an inviting swimming pool and luxurious accommodations, right? Then you will not be disappointed with Kanaloa at Kona 2602. My wife and I have been coming... more
to the Hawaiian islands together since 1976, having visited all of the islands probably 50 times; we LOVE Hawaii. We decided to introduce my cousin and his wife to the Big Island this last November and booked this condo for 10 days. Over the years, we have usually stayed in vacation rental condominiums while in Hawaii and even owned our own rental unit in Kihei, Maui for 17 years. We both agreed this was the nicest and most well equipped unit that we have ever stayed in. It also comes with a spectacular view right from the lanai (especially at sunset)! I need to mention that all of our correspondence with the owners, Lonna and Mike Perry, were exceptional. They answered every query promptly and with satisfaction. It makes a huge positive difference when you deal with owners who truly want you to have a great experience. A thoughtful welcome note and gift from the owners greeted us upon entering. Every room was beautifully decorated and very comfortably furnished. Both bedrooms had large closets and very comfortable beds. The living room/dining area was substantial and inviting. The kitchen was very spacious even when all four of us were in there preparing food together. Speaking of the kitchen, I wish my kitchen at home were as nice and well equipped as this one! All of the appliances were new top-drawer stainless steel GE and every utensil, dish, pot, pan, and serving item you could think of was provided! Even a wine refrigerator. The grounds were meticulously maintained and we greatly enjoyed the oceanside pool that is literally steps from the lanai. The Keauhou Shopping Center is conveniently located near the resort entrance. We found that the KTA Super Store was competitively priced and was a clean, well-organized grocery store. They had a very nice fresh fish and meat section, a poke and deli counter, complete liquor, beer, and wine selection (don’t forget about the wine refrigerator in the condo). The four of us enjoyed touring the whole island and ate a few wonderful restaurant meals (Huggo’s, the marvelous Sunday brunch at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel Resort, Pond’s Restaurant in Hilo). It was a great feeling to know that each evening we had a wonderful and welcoming spot to return home to unwind.

Beautiful Condo!
We stayed here over Christmas - this was our first trip to Hawaii and everything about this condo was just wonderful! From Lonna's communication prior to our trip, her help with restaurant recommendations, excursions, etc. to the lovely welcome gift upon our arrival, she was... more
the perfect host! This unit is beautifully decorated - we felt at home from the moment we walked in! The overall location was perfect for us - ideally situated in terms of where you'll want to go for dining and activities. KTA Superstore (grocery) is right up the hill and very convenient, as are some nice dining options. The condo has everything you can think of - plenty of towels, well stocked kitchen and access to beach chairs, umbrella, and snorkeling equipment. We only cooked a few times while we were there but never found that we were missing a thing. This was probably the best stocked rental we've ever stayed at. And I can't forget to mention the beds - SO comfortable - even better than ours at home! Thank you Lonna for a wonderful place to enjoy our holiday! If you rent this unit you will not be disappointed.

Thanksgiving 2018
From the moment we reserved this condo, Lonna was an exceptional host. She checked our flight reservations, and even sent me pictures of the view from the Lanai two days before our arrival. When we walked in, there was a gift collection that just made... more
the entrance so welcoming and thoughtful. 2602 was an amazing condo. The view from the Lanai was even better than the pictures we were sent. Everything about the unit was as promised, and the unit was very clean and modern from lighting above and below the cabinets to a wine cooler.. I needed to do some work from there and the internet was a snap to hookup and use. The tropical feeling in both the grounds and throughout the condo was wonderful. Everything is very modern. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner at Sam Choy's just up the hill. There was no activity at the volcano, so we just walked around to see the current changes to the crater. We have been to the Big Island about 10 times, and stayed and Kanaloa in at least 4 units. This was the best one by a long shot, and we have stayed in units right on the oceanfront. We cannot wait to return!!!

Great Value for the Money
Stayed for one week and despite being inconvenienced by rare hurricane had a wonderful stay. The best part was the condo. It was furnished as best as could possibly imagined with books on where to go and what to do, with snorkeling equipment, with cookware... more
and appliances just like home. The view was spectacular with ocean waves booming, throwing water into the air for viewing from the lanai and sunsets unobstructed by only palm trees and the ocean pool. The only disappointment was having to leave.

Wonderful Time.. Definitely Going Back!!
We just returned from a week and a half stay in Hawaii. This condo was the perfect size for our family. It is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possible need. When we arrived we had a couple gifts waiting for us, which was... more
a very nice touch!! Since our visit was in July we opted to have the air conditioner turned on. This cooled the condo nicely with the exception of the back bedroom. This room gets very hot. There is a floor fan that we ran that helped bring the temperature in there down. The location of this unit is perfect. We sat out on the patio each morning drinking coffee and watching the waves crash against the lava. Lonna was a pleasure to work with and we will definitely be back!!

Spectacular !
We made a week long trip to Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii for our anniversary in July 2018. We honeymooned in Kona after our wedding years ago and we try to get back to the Big Island whenever we can. Kanaloa condo 2602... more
is a beautiful, luxuriously appointed, oceanfront unit with amazing ocean and sunset views from the lanai! The unit is 5-star across the board! Every detail in Unit 2602 was perfect! The unit is pristine, well thought out, exceptionally clean, and we wanted for nothing during our visit. The kitchen is amazing and everything you might need or want is there. We even had a wine cooler! Heading to the Beach? – chairs, towels, cooler, umbrella are all there and ready to go. Honestly though, the condo, the Ocean Pool, and the Kanaloa complex and amenities were so peaceful and wonderful, it was difficult to leave on excursions! (A great problem to have!) The Ocean Pool is a great place to be! You can hear the sound of the surf breaking on the shore, take your choice of sun or shade, and of course the incredible Kona sunset views! I would be remiss if I did not address the recent volcanic activity on the Big Island. We were aware of all the media interest before our trip, but it was not an issue for us at all. Most days were clear and beautiful. We had just a couple of hazy days but the haze just made the sunset more mysterious and reminded us how incredible and natural the Big Island is! We didn’t go over to the volcano, but we met several individuals, and a family, who went over to the other side of the island to see the eruption, and they said it was the experience of a lifetime! We have stayed at half a dozen other Kanaloa condos over the years, and 2602 is hands down the nicest! Our week was luxurious, peaceful, restful, and beautiful! We’ll be back as soon as we can and we will be booking #2602 again!

Perfect!
The condo was absolutely perfect and the kitchen was stellar with beautiful counters and new appliances (even though we didn't cook)...even a wine fridge! The entire condo has been recently renovated from top to bottom so it was a pleasure to walk in the door... more
and see the beautiful colors and furnishings chosen...just like in a magazine. We only used one bedroom but that bed was very comfortable, furnishings were quality and the room was quite large. The adjoining bathroom was also quite large and light and bright and cheerful with a wonderful large shower and vanity with two sinks. We started our morning on the deck with coffee watching the ocean and ended our day on the deck or at the pool with wine watching the sun set. The location is quiet and the grounds (like the condo) are immaculate. Lonna was a joy to work with. Very responsive, clear communications and always pleasant. This condo is filled with Aloha spirit and you won't be disappointed.

Outstanding condo and property!!
We stayed at Kanaloa #2602 for 11 days in May 2018 and it was possibly the best condo value we've rented on all of our Hawaiian island travels. The owners have literally thought of everything with this condo. The renovated interior, exterior, décor, furnishings, super... more
comfortable beds and upgrades were outstanding. Very spacious interior and deck space made it so we never felt crowded. The closet and shed have everything you'll need (coolers, sunscreen, tennis equipment, snorkel sets, beach umbrellas, boogy boards, beach chairs, even spare sunglasses) to cover all your island equipment needs. The resort itself was fantastic for our needs. Very relaxed and quiet with beautiful grounds and facilities. The Oceanside pool was never crowded and is perfect for unwinding while watching and listening to the waves crash on the lava alongside the pool. If you get a chance, would recommend a trip to the bay just adjacent to the resort (5 min walk) for some great snorkeling! Also, a trip north to Hapuna Beach is worth the 50 minute drive.....our favorite beach on the island. Our friends stayed in these great owners additional condo #3602 which has also been totally renovated and had the same great experience. Would highly recommend both condo units and this property and we plan on staying there again upon our next visit to the Big Island!! Mahalo for a great stay Lonna and Mike!!

Fabulous condo
This was probably the best owner-owned condo we’ve ever stayed at. We loved the location, could sit out on the lanai and hear and see the waves crashing. Perfect for relaxing. The owners made sure our every need was met. The furnishings were lovely, mattresses... more
were very comfortable and the cleanliness was noted. We definitely will come back.

Kanaloa #2602
There is no question ... this condo at Kanaloa deserves better than 5 star rating - if only a higher rating was available! I has been beautifully remodeled with none of the finer high end details omitted. Tasteful, elegant, homey and Hawaiian all wrapped into... more
an island home away from home. The convenient location is a bonus! Close to grocery, restaurants as well as keeping you island happy. The condo is centrally located between all you would want to visit north, south or east. We would never stay anywhere else when visiting beautiful Kona!

Piece of Paradise.
When we get back to the Big Island- we would definitely stay here again. Pictures were accurate, good security, beautiful sunsets every night, relaxing and quiet. The condo is beautifully and newly renovated. A great mix of being able to go out to eat and... more
wanting to stay in and barbecued on the grill by the pool- - which were some of our favorite happy hours. The kitchen is well stocked with dining and cooking supplies. But also a 15 minute drive or uber ride from downtown (approx. $20/ride). A nice small white sands beach about 2 miles away. A shopping plaza with a grocery store and multiple dining choices about 1/2 mile away- easy walk. They also had a farmers market on the weekends. Overall, very nice! Thank you Lonna! *Very accommodating, prompt responses and we received a warm welcome into the condo.

Perfect location and accommodations
Kanaloa at Kona was recommended by a friend because of its central location, privacy and beautifully well maintained condo complex. We always felt safe and secure in the gated complex with plenty of walking paths along the ocean and golf course nearby. Condo 2602 was... more
absolutely perfect for our mother-daughter getaway. The condo has a lovely view of the ocean from the lanai. We especially loved waking up every morning to the sound of ocean waves and birds signing. The evening sunsets were even more beautiful! We felt right at home at #2602. Everything is brand new, very clean and decorated just like a model home. Lonna & Mike, the owners, have thought of everything you might need and then some for a perfect vacation on the Big Island.

Anxious to return!
I recently spent two wonderful weeks at this unit, thrilled with it’s location in the complex and proximity to the pool. From the lanai I could hear the the crashing waves, and from there enjoyed every sunrise, many meals, reading, or painting. I’ve stayed at... more
many vacation rentals through the years, but this one was very special and rose above my expectations. Beautiful cookware, good (and fresh!) spice collection, and great knives and towels. I have already decided to return next year, and although the dates are still in limbo, I’m definitely staying three weeks instead of two. It is truly paradise, thanks to Lonna and Mike...you are amazing hosts!

Highly recommended
This condo was absolutely superb. Every detail was taken care of and beautifully presented. Overlooking the ocean and sunsets made it ideal for a relaxing stay. We were celebrating a 50th and 75th family birthday so it was a very special place to be.
