Wonderful Kona Condo!
This was our 3rd visit to this condo and we love it! It's always very clean, quiet and the view is our favorite part! You can sit on the Lanai first thing in the morning and in the evening, have all your meals out there.... more

— Paul, Stayed 07/19/2019
Owner/Manager Response
Please keep in mind that hearing walking and occasional toilet flushing is really common to all condo units that are not on a top floor. So if a guest walking above is very disturbing in any Kanaloa at Kona condo then you can call the Kanaloa security and they will talk to the guests and ask them to be aware of the hour and the noise walking may make. Or as a guest of mine you can call me and I will have security talk to the guest above. What is important to note is that the concern expressed is not unique to my condo. Also remember that not all guests are as sensitive to the same degree of stimulus (sound of walking) or how easily there sleeping is disturbed. Very few of my guests have commented on issues with other guests.

Owner/Manager Response
I invested over $100,000 in a professional remodel of our condo in 2008. It is one of the nicest condos in the Kanaloa at Kona Resort. With that said I would appreciate it if you would read all the other guests comments on my site and determine for yourself if this guest is accurately portraying our beautiful condo. We continue to maintain our condo and furnishings. We purchased two new flat screen TVs in November. We had the furniture cleaned and floor tile professionally cleaned and resealed in May of this year. We take pride in providing a luxury vacation rental. Our condo does have a lot of supplies, but some rapidly consumed items like paper supplies may need to be purchased by guest if they run out, just like you would at home. We always try to stock salt, pepper and basic spices which were there in May when I visited the condo. I have asked my on island person to double check to make sure these items are not located in one of the Koa cabinets and if they are missing then she will restock. Not all Koa cabinet shelves are lined, but some are lined with shelf paper not paper bags. Regarding the mattress request I certainly did not ignore the guest request. I told the guest that in selecting a mattress for our rental condo we conducted research and found that a more firm mattress was the best choice. People with back problems want a firmer bed. With that said some individuals do prefer a softer mattress. Unfortunately there is no easy solution that will accommodate all individual guest preferences. Also I indicated that I did not have a way to manage the use of the additional mattress topper for future guests. How would my cleaning person know if they should make the bed with the mattress topper on or leave it off? Also I would need to have this item cleaned and also stored if a future guest did not use the mattress topper. So I told the guest that I did not have a problem with her buying a mattress topper for her personal use, but I really don't see using it in the future. I concluded my email with the following โplease call me to discuss if you feel I am not handling your request professionally or if you think I am being unreasonable. The last thing that I want is to have this issue spoil your vacation at our condo.โ I never received a responding email on this topic. This guest also emailed me on two other occasions and mentioned that the internet was down and how to fix it. I took the time to send her a lengthy explanation as to how to troubleshoot the problem. She sent me a follow up email and said it just came back on. In other words there was no internet problem yet I tried to help her! She also said the coffee grinder did not work, but I had it checked out after her departure and it was working. In summary, does this sound like an owner who is not trying to work with a guest. If a guest is making a request I will always work with them and pay for items that can be used by other guests in the future. My wife and I go the extra mile for people. We appreciate you considering your stay with us. Mahalo Lowell and Kris.

I just want to mention that sometime guests will add personal preferences in their reviews and are often not a concern to any other guests. I believe such is the case with the two items mentioned by this guest reviewer. There is a reading light in the great room placed next to a comfortable chair for the very purpose of reading a paper or book. There are many overhead lights that provide good lighting at night. There are also two small tables that sit in front of the couch that are multifunctional and can be moved around for various uses including placing game boards and playing cards. There are no major roads that run by the very private Kanaloa Resort. Yes, within the resort there are roads that run by the back of many of the condos as there needs to be a way to drive to the condos in the resort. There is limited traffic because the resort is gated and not available to general traffic. At night there is hardly any traffic and the resort is very quite. During the day if you left the sliding doors open to the back lanai and or bedroom windows you will likely hear some periodic slow moving motor vehicles in the resort, but this frankly has not been raised as an issue by most guests in the resort. For the most part people are out and about or on the ocean front lanai watching the beautiful Hawaii surf! Come be our guests in our beautifully remodeled luxury Kanaloa 3504 condo. Mahalo Lowell and Kris! Owners, Kanaloa 3504

Exception not the Rule: My cleaning person had to visit her mother in California for a week and she had her husband fill in for her. He thought that the second bath shower/tub had not been used since there were only two people staying in the condo. Our regular cleaning person is very thorough and has a cleaning checklist she follows each time she cleans the condo. Regarding the mattress I can only tell you that we purchased a very expensive mattress just 4 years ago. This is the first guest who commented on the mattress. I know โone size does not always fit allโ so if this guest was having back problems I suppose a particular mattress could add to the problem. However, I donโt think most condo owners can accommodate for the total spectrum of potential health related issues that guests have. I purchased a mattress firmness that is typical recommended for rental condos. My wife Kris and I visit yearly and are constantly monitoring what condition things are in and update and replace just as you would with your home. Mahola for your understanding of the challenges of accommodating all special health related issues. Lowell and Kris Zimmerman (Owners)

Coincidently my wife Kris and I (owners) arrived the very same day this guest checked out and we stayed the following 5 days. First, we did not detect any unusual orders in either bathroom the entire time of our stay. Additionally no other guests ever mentioned this topic to us. We take great pride in our condo having invested over 100K in the remodel in 2008 and we continue to keep things up. Secondly, regarding the towels we replace the towels every few months. It is possible that some older back up towels were put out, but there are other towels available in the closets and there is also a high end front loading washer and dryer available to our guests. In a humid tropical climate towels do need to be washed more frequently and dried preferably with a softener to add a nice scent to the towels. No different than home - right!

Please note that the guest commented on how comfortable Kanaloa 3504 was and that it was a newly remodeled condo with AC. A previous guest called Kanaloa 3504 โA Designers Dreamโ. Regarding the outstanding waterfront views from Kanaloa 3504 I would ask you to read the comments of other guests. Most guests rave about the fantastic white water views and the sounds of the ocean. There are no buildings between the water and Kanaloa 3504. Regarding sunsets, the sun sets somewhat differently in the west based on the time of year, but it sets in the west. Is it reasonable to expect to view a sunset from every condo Lanai even though it faces north, south or east? One of the best viewing areas for sunsets at Kanaloa is the ocean pool area. Please keep in mind that sunsets in Hawaii occur very quickly and there is not a lot of time to watch before the sun drops beyond the horizon. As far as providing garbage bags and high efficiency laundry detergent we normally do keep these items stocked. Our Kanaloa guests only need to place a phone call to me to resolve any minor items such as this. If you read other guest comments you will see that my wife Kris and I certainly try to provide a high level of guest service. Having invested over $100,000 in the remodel hopefully tells you we care about offering our guests a truly luxury condo experience. Mahalo Lowell, owner Kanaloa 3504
Designers' Dream
We stayed at Kanaloa 3504 in beautiful Kailua-Kona. This is a beautifully renovated, very large one bedroom condo overlooking a lovely little bay. We only ended up using the air conditioning the evening of our arrival because after that it was just lovely to have... more

Perfect
This lovely condo is located just close enough to Kailua-Kona to be convenient and far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. Beautifully furnished, great ocean and bay view. Air conditioning helps a lot!

Complex not what we expected
Was not warned that the oceanside pool was closed for the summer. Was not expecting there to be 15 multi-generational people staying in the unit above us and the one pool left open for children to be crowded. The unit itself was clean, well cared... more

Owner/Manager Response
Note that our guest said that Kanaloa 3504 was very clean and well cared for, lovely. What more can you expect from an owner? Kanaloa has three pools and they have been resurfacing each pool area to make sure Kanaloa guests have the nicest resort facilities. Two of the pools have been resurfaced and the last pool to be worked on was the ocean pool. When one pool is resurfaced the other two pools are still available. Contrary to this guests comment there were still two pools open not one: one was for adults only and the other was open to all. How many Kona resorts have three pools? As you can tell from the other Flip Key guest comments they really liked the view and ocean sights and sounds from Kanaloa 3504. As far as having 15 people of multi-generations staying in the condo above I think I will let my reader determine the accuracy of this comment! Kanaloa has a policy against excessive over use of a unit and a guest needs to contact Kanaloa Resort Security available on the grounds 24 x7 and they will investigate any misuse of a condo. Please understand there are only 4 or 6 condos to a building so you rarely get the issues that a more densely built complex has. Guests are distributed over the resorts 13 acres so it is good as it can get. The key when staying at any luxury vacation accommodations is to alert Security sooner rather than later to remedy annoying situations. Kanaloa is staffed to make your vacation a truly great experience! In summary, people have different tolerances and expectations. We strive to make things as perfect as possible. Kanaloa 3504 is a magnificent luxury condo (as reported by past guests) having been recently remodeled at a cost of over $100,000. I hope you will consider a stay at Kanaloa 3504.

Great Condo for a family!
We stayed at Kanaloa at Kona 3504 with our two young boys for a week in June. The Condo was very lovely. Furnished nicely and well-supplied. Our boys loved the murphy bed, and thought it was very cool to pull their bed out of the... more

Wonderful Home in Paradise

Good times with one fly in the ointment.
Well appointed, clean condo with a great lanai. My only concern was the upstairs three bedroom unit. Both times we have stayed, there has been a group of teenagers upstairs. The noise level did not go down until after complaining (after midnight).

Owner/Manager Response
As you can tell from this review the guest has only good things to say about the actual condition of and views at Kanaloa 3504. As far as noise bothering quests from another Kanaloa condo unit I can only tell you that Kanaloa has a policy against excessive noise and a guest needs to contact Security available on the grounds 24 x7 and they will put a stop to any problem. Please understand there are only 4 or 6 condos to a building so noise is rarely a problem. The key when staying at any luxury vacation accommodations is to alert Security sooner rather than later to remedy the situation. Kanaloa is staffed to make your vacation a truly great experience!

Beautiful location but unit could use a little decor improvement
We stayed in Unit 3504 and found it very nice and well appointed. We know the owners had painted and added granite to the space but it could still use a little tweeking. The carpet on stairs should be replaced as quite worn and is... more

Owner/Manager Response
Thank you for your review. It is very important to be accurate when making comments about accommodations. As a reader of this comment you should know that my wife Kris and I invested over $100,000 in our 2007 remodel. It included: new tile floors inside and outside on both lanais, granite kitchen and bathroom counter tops, created walk-in shower in master bath, replaced all bathroom toilets and tube in second bathroom, added central air-condition, new ceiling fans, remodeled kitchen and added a build in desk area off kitchen, all new furniture (king size bed in bedroom) and appliances, new pictures and much more. Not just paint and granite The only carpet in the condo is on the stairs which we chose to do for safety purposes. As far as the carpet coming loose at the top of the stairs my cleaning person reported it on March 15 and on our annual visit beginning March 16, 2010 I had the carpet reattached at the very top of the step. The carpet was cleaned and although is 3 years old it still does not look very worn to justify replacement. Because it is a low mat carpet the renters may have viewed this as worn. Reality is that things do break in homes and as owners we always make repairs immediately upon notification. We do have a new cushion for the front lanai teak recliner which the guest did not mention. However, we do not have cushions on the individual teak chairs around the outside teak dining table. Due to the ocean salt. sun, and occasional rains and primarily sanitary purposes we have chosen to oil the teak wood rather than adding individual chair cushions. We do replace the bedroom pillows every two years so we will look at replacing them again and this is a fair comment and request for luxury accommodations such as Kanaloa 3504.

Return trip even better than the first!

The owner - Lowell Zimmerman - does now provide soap and 2 rolls of toilet paper for each bathroom.
