We had three blissful days in Condo 1602 in Kanaloa at Kona. This unit is nicely furnished with a fully-equipped kitchen and a new LG washer/drier stack, not to mention a large-screen LG TV. This was a peaceful spot at the north end of the complex, with a nice ocean view. Besides the waves, the only other sound was the golfers teeing off about 50 feet from our lanai. No air conditioning, but plenty of ceiling fans--we were never uncomfortable. We would gladly come for another stay!

My wife and I travel quite a bit, we both agreed that this was the cleanest accommodations we have ever had. In addition to an absolute killer view from the lanai, the unit was totally outfitted right down to a bottle of wine!! How much more can a weary traveler ask for? We had the place wide open every night so we could enjoy the sea breezes and ocean sounds...paradise!! If anyone wants a referral, have them e-mail me, I'll be glad to fill them in.

The resort grounds are immaculate with every amenity. The "Ocean Pool" is beautiful. Every member of the staff we encountered was outstanding, from Chris in the guard shack, Cass at the activities desk, and the groundskeepers who gave my boys fishing tips. The location of the unit is perfect with the ocean, coconut palms, and the golf course right out of the lanai. Can't wait to book another trip to the same spot.

One of the nicest units we've stayed in out of 25+ visits to Kanaloa: upgraded, modern, and clean. However, a summer visit without A/C makes for a hot and difficult sleep. This combined with an inconsiderate family in the unit above meant that we could only get 3-4 hours sleep per night. Unfortunately, the screaming baby and running tots were allowed to go undisclipined by very selfish parents and grandparents, who were owners - leaving not much recourse. An unfortunate way to ruin an otherwise wonderful condo.

This was the perfect home base for our family on the big island. Much quieter than the resorts to the north and much easier to access services (grocery store, etc). Still easy driving distance to beaches, volcanos, and other points of interest. There are differences between the units, we found 2906 to be well appointed and a great location in the complex.

We truly loved our stay. My favorite vacation rentals are places that are part time homes to the owners, where there is more than one kitchen towel, reading lights in thoughtful locations and in the case of this home, beach gear. You are all set with chairs, towels, cooler, beach mats, boogie boards etc. We were a family of 6, all adults; the beds, tables, bathrooms all accommodated us perfectly. The sunsets from the lanai were divine as was breakfast watching dolphins. There is a pool next to the Ocean that looks perfect for a nap or good book. We definitely need a return trip.

We have stayed on the Big Island many times, and Kanaloa at Kona is hands down our absolute favorite place to stay.

The complex is beautiful and with tennis courts, 3 pools, barbecues, and club house - you don't really feel inclined to leave and explore the island.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kanaloa2004. Mark was easy to work with and prompt in his keeping us informed. The grounds in this complex are plush and the pools pristine. It's an ideal location - perhaps the best on the island - quiet except for the pleasant sounds of the waves lolling us to sleep each night. The view is spectacular, especially the sunsets. Shopping, beaches and restaurants are only minutes away. If we return to Kona, we will certainly stay at Kanaloa at Kona. Mahalo, Mark

December 2015 our party of four adults spent two restful weeks in this large and comfy unit -- with much of our time lounging on the ocean-facing lanai. The extra $ spent for AC was well worth it as Kona was hot, even in winter. The kitchen of 2004 was well equipped, though most items have seen a lot of use. We appreciated the availabity of the misc snorkeling and beach gear. There were a few maintenance issues which we brought to the attention of the responsive locally-based staff.

My Wife and i stayed at Kanaloa at Kona for five nights in April 2018. The Condo location is inside a resort community of condos set inside of a larger community of homes and other condos making up one large neighborhood. The condo sits right on the waters edge with lava flows right below the condo lanai with the Pacific ocean waves breaking onto the lava in front of the condo. The condo is a second floor unit of 4 condos together with a stairway leading up from entrance door to the actual living space so you will need be able to lift your luggage up a fairly long flight of stairs.

Beware - once you enter, you may never want to leave. That's what happened to us. The lanai right on the water was so relaxing that we spent lots of time there. With the overhead fan and light, it could be enjoyed at any time of the day or night - we were treated to a full moon the first night. The resort property itself is beautiful, quiet and has 3 pools.

We were lucky enough to stay for the month of February in 1804. Delightful, very well equipped and very relaxing with amazingly few people in the pools. Lanai time is wonderful with the occasional whale/dolphin show as well as boarders and boats. Traditional beaches(Hapuna, Mauna Kea) are an hour away and traffic has gotten worse over the years, but the drive is worth it. Grocery store within walking range and all Big Island attractions within driving range. It was a wonderful month.

We stayed here for 6 nights. There were 5 ladies in our party and this condo worked out wonderful. I enjoyed every morning sitting on lanai, drinking my coffee and watching/listening to the waves. What a beautiful view! It was perfect. The condo is very well equipped with all the necessities you need in the kitchen. She even has a few beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, beach towels and a decent size cooler. No complaints about everything. The bed and pillows were comfy as well.

The view from the lanai was beautiful, couldn’t have asked for a better way to start your morning! The internet and tv didn’t work and we tried a few times to have the local contact come look at it but she never made it. Just a minor inconvenience for night time downtime for the kids.

Kanaloa at Kona 1904 was a great place to stay. The views are unreal -- we spent hours on the lanai just watching the waves roll in. The place is spacious, and you don't need to turn the AC on with the breeze from the water. This was one of the most well equipped vacation rentals I have ever stayed in -- from the bathroom to the kitchen, everything you need for your stay was there. The owner was super responsive and accommodating. We loved our visit to the Big Island, and will definitely book Kanaloa 1904 again some time.

Love the unit..our 2nd time there. Views are great and sun sets are awesome in December. Well stocked unit. Wish were still there as having torrental rains in SoCal! Will stay there again. Only issue is noise from upstairs in # 2106...for first 4 days there were 6 adults upstairs, very talkative foreigners, scraping deck chairs constantly, and up at 5 am stomping the floors. We called Kema and front desk to report. After 2-day respite, 2 young couples moved in and while we expected the worse, were surprising okay on noise. We love Kanaloa complex after many years saying there.

This was our first real family vacation and had a great time. We had stayed at this property before and we knew what we were getting. We wanted a place that was relaxing and quiet while offering variety of options if we wanted them. The location is a little off the beaten path, but that's what made it ideal for us. It's a little further south of Kailua/Kona, but not too far to drive 5-10 min. and go shopping or get a meal. Most of the snorkeling and swimming beaches are south of town anyways, so the condo put you closer to those locations as well. The condo was very close to a small s...

The views from the unit of the golf course were beautiful from the main balcony with the added bonus of a sea view from the master bedroom balcony. We could not have wished for a better place to spend our time in Hawaii. The site itself was very well maintained with lovely well kept grounds, 3 lovely pools to choose from also with hot tubs.

Definitely good value for money The condo is very good and extremely well equipped. The beaches we prefer to use are not close by which means we do use our rental car quite a lot. We intend to return to condo 203 some time soon.

Everyone should book through aloha Condos rather than going through the Resort. We had a baseball tournament and we were one of the few that didn't book through the Resort. Check in was so simple. We got there the same time as the other families and we had already settled in our condo, and they were still in the process of checking in. The condo is exactly like how you see it on the website. Beautiful and very spacious. We highly recommend this condo and would stay there again!!! 2 thumbs up!!!

Loved our stay at Jim's Kanaloa At Kona Condo unit 203. We had an amazing first experience, showing up and the place was amazing and had everything we could possibly need. Very comfy home with table in the living room that was perfect for playing games around at night. The resort is really nice with 3 pools and even hot tubs (we used one night when it was raining :) ). Oh, and we booked via www.alohacondos.com. Great site, really helped us find the best place for the best price.

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.

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.

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.

You can’t beat walking down the hall in the morning, opening the sliding glass doors and taking in the view of the ocean and no need to rush to the ocean view pool to view the sunset, because you can see it from the lanai. Can’t wait to stay again next trip!!

This was the 3rd destination of our 2 week trip. The condo sits on the edge of the ocean, and was so beautiful! The next time we come to the Big Island, this one is the first one I will book! It was close to both of my husband and daughter’s favorite snorkeling spots, Captain Cook and Kahulu’u Park. And the kitchen was well-stocked. Thanks so much for sharing with us. The Dillard’s, Texas

Our stay at this condo was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. There's nothing like getting up in the morning, making a cup of coffee, and sitting on the lanai relaxing to the sound of the surf and the sight of the ocean! The condo was well-supplied, clean, and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful, clean, and peaceful. This was definitely the best place we've stayed at in our three trips to the islands. We're spoiled now! The only thing that would have made our stay better was if the complex had a bar/restaurant. Still, the drive to town wasn't all that far. We can't wait unt...

The property is in a good location and has a beautiful view of a golf course and ocean from the lanai. Unfortunately, the screen door at the entrance was old and rusted, not a good first impression. Some furnishings are care worn and need to be replaced. The kitchen was missing basic supplies. I texted the agent on site and my request was fulfilled the same day. The refrigerator had left over food in it from the prior occupants which we disposed of, including chicken broth, dairy items etc. Bathrooms and bedrooms have been updated and were nice.

Beautiful condo, with a view of the crashing waves and the golf course. The bathroom upstairs was a plus. We had guests from 1-year olds to 80! To watch the sunset we went down to the golf course. The upside is that you don’t have the concentrated sun beating in from the west and heating the rooms up. It is a short drive or a healthy walk to the supermarket and the drug store. The management is working to fix the leaks, which didn’t interfere with our fun. Very expensive, so we cannot afford to rent it frequently. The staff onsite are very friendly.

Without a flashlight we'd have never found the right door. Secondly, the large jacuzzi tub was not usable. It was very disappointing as this was a motivator in the rental. The jets were taped and the spicket for the water was taken off. Just having the use of the tub would have been nice. This was not indicated when I rented it.

First it was obvious the unit needs updating. While a great location in the Kanaloa's, this plus was more than offset by the aged condition of the unit. Never could get the Chase wireless to work, so basically was with no service during our stay. My wife could not take a bath as the master bath tub was out of order, and the guest bath was to small and oldfor her to conveniently use. You could tell that things in the unit were fixed rather than replaced or updated, from lighting to simple things like the coffee maker.

Well stocked private condo. Very generous in size and reasonably up to date. Everything about this place I can recommend. We only had a couple of issues: 1)wireless is actually the neighbours 2)can be noisy with people living above stamping around 3)unfortunately the room wasnt cleaned when we arrived so we did quite a bit of work along with the owner. The owner was very pleasant and generous and he even refunded us a night so this was a non-event. Overall a great place and I recommend it to people looking to escape and have a relaxing holiday.

Our only complaint would be that we wished there were more comfortable chairs on the lanai.

The Kanaloa complex is on the water a couple miles south of Kailua and is in a quiet residential area off the main street. We found the condo clean, updated, reasonably well stocked, well maintained, and with a very attentive owner. The view of the Keauhou harbor and Sheraton resort is exceptional.

We stayed at the condo during Christmas week and enjoyed every moment. We originally wanted to stay in the hotel but changed our mind and were very happy about it. There was a lot more space where we can spread out and rest after busy day. The condo is very well equiped (beach towels, underwater camera, games, dvds). Kitchen had cooking oil, vinegar, spices and condiments in the refrigerator. Everything is ready for you to cook. Beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. Outdoor patio is great for dining out day or night or relaxing during the day. The only complaint was about the b...

My husband and I spent a week here and loved it. The unit has been tastefully and thoughtfully updated, is very comfortable, has everything you would need, is very spacious, and has a beautiful , peaceful view of Keauhou Bay. We even saw a whale! We will be back next year.

Unit 3602 was even more beautiful than the pictures depicted! Very clean, tastefully furnished, and beautifully decorated with a spectular view of the ocean! I would highly recommend this condo to anyone wanting to visit the Big Island.

We had the master bedroom and loved the topper on the mattress very comfortable. Had everything to make our visit enjoyable. Especially enjoyed the view from the lanai and spent lots of time there. The pools were great and the location was very central to the town and for getting groceries. Also good for walking.

We rented this condo during our 4 night stay in the BI. From the moment we arrived at Kanaloa at Kona we were impressed by all the beautiful tropical gardens surrounding the condos. Our condo was right on the waters edge of a private black rock bay. We loved looking out from our private deck at the water. The lights across the bay at night of the Sheraton were amazing. We also enjoyed the provided binoculars to check out the turtles swimming in the bay and the outrigger trips from the Sheraton. It was quiet and private and we seemed to have the resort to oursleves in June. We loved the...

Konaloa at Kona is a great location, quiet, beautiful view, secure resort. Condo 3602 lives up to all the photos on the internet - really it has everything. Look in the parking spot shed before buying boogie boards. There is even a cooler in the lani storage closet.I can't imagine wanting more than you get with this resort or this condo. My only reservation would be it is a downstairs unit so you can hear the folks upstairs walking around, flushing toilets etc. - you may or may not notice this depending on what you are used to. For the price - you can't beat this condo.

Kanaloa at Kona Condo 3602 is simply the best condo (or hotel) facility we have ever stayed at. The unit was extremely clean, very well furnished, very well appointed, and had all the comforts that you would want in a vacation condo. We found everything we needed (and more) for a very comfortable stay. The view is fantastic and each of us spent a great deal of time out on the deck in comfy chairs staring at the surf, boats, weather and people in the water. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The three pools and multiple BBQ units were always clean and in top shape. We truly hated to le...

We liked the adjacent unit 3601 the year before but couldn't book it for the time we wanted but we were able to book 3602 for most of Feb. 2013. We are glad it turned out that way because 3602 was much nicer inside. It apparently had been recently updated at considerable cost according to another owner who knows the owners. Also, the lanai, which faces south-southwest, has a much better, wider view of the bay and the ocean but without the sun beating in on you. There was no need to drop the sun screens. The unit is quite private and quiet. The only building you see from the lanai or main li...

This was our second stay at Kanaloa at Kona, and our first stay in unit 3602. We loved it! Having stayed in the same building, but different unit, previously, we knew we would spend much of our time on the lanai. Such a wonderful spot. Unit 3602 is stunning, with top notch decor throughout. In between our first stay, and the most recent, we traveled to Maui. We determined that Kona is the spot for us when you get much more bang for your buck. My only concern with this unit is the either the owners will sell it, or that it will become so popular we have difficulty booking it in the...

This was our first stay on the big island, and we could not have been happier with condo 3602. The unit was very nicely furnished, much more so than many other rentals we've used before. It was clear that the owners decorated and maintained the unit with great care. The view from the Lanai was exceptional. The overall property was also great, we especially liked the ocean pool and views. We hope to return and would love to stay in this particular unit again!

Everything was perfect! This was my dream. Except only two things. One is about the phone which didn't work as low battery when we arrived. The other one is I couldn't find the concierge during my stay for the private condo... I didn't know why: it might be bad timing evey each time. Anyway I satisfied very much even these two things were missing. Thank you.

We just ended a week's stay in Unit 3602. We hated to leave this beautifully located condo. The unit has absolutely everything you need to make your vacation experience the best. The Unit was spotlessly clean and is beautifully furnished and maintained. The bathrooms are gorgeous! We looked at the unit online, but in person it was more than we expected. This is a beautiful condo in a perfect setting. We will be back.

The Keauhou area of the big island is the ideal place to enjoy a relaxing and active vacation. It is not touristy like saying in town and yet shopping and restaurants are within walking distance. The Kanaloa at Kona condos get as close to perfection as is possible without owning your own unit and living there full time. 3602 in particular is the condo of choice. While the complex is very well maintained and quiet the specific location of 3602 is ideal. The lanai is directly next to a semi private cove making quick dips in the ocean to snorkel or swim very convenient. The condo is well a...

We have stayed in many condos over the years, but #3602 was by far the best stay! The condo is beautifully decorated with all the amenities one could possibly need or want. Our special place was the lanai with the view overlooking the cove below. My husband and I would actually play on the beach in the morning and come back to the condo in the afternoons and evenings to just spend quiet time on the lanai soaking in the tropical wonder. The Kanaloa is a quiet property and very well groomed and maintained! All dealing with aloha condo were prompt and professional. They are very user friendly...

The picture accurately captures the view from the lanai at 3602, where we ate every single meal. The condo was incredibly comfortable, quiet, very well equipped, and easy to settle into. The view over the bay was lovely, especially in the mornings, when we even saw some spinner dolphins traveling through. We were a short walk or a short drive to fantastic snorkeling, and we did night snorkeling with the manta rays right next to the nearby Sheraton. We would definitely stay here again!

This condo was great! Very nice furnishings. Really makes you appreciate a good vacation when you have a nice place to stay. The view is great. One thing we would have done was opt for the air conditioning, not easy for women to put their makeup on when it's too warm. Would go back there anytime. Thank you.

We stayed in condo 3702 from January 4 to Jan 20, 2012. Would have stayed longer but it was already rented. We also stayed in this condo in February 2010. This condo has everything you need. Tons of linens and towels. Great appliances and cooking utensils. It is very large. Sleeps 6 with 2 bathrooms. Absolutely wonderful view from the lanai watching the waves and surfers. Sound of the ocean puts you to sleep at night. Pictures on the net are exactly what you get when you arrive. Very comfortable. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend this condo.

Can't beat the location for the price. As a main floor unit, we did find the guests above a little loud with very heavy feet. Air conditioning was a little tricky to figure out as well but after the cleaning lady came, it worked great (but we never did find out what she did). Lanai was wonderfully relaxing. Being right on the bay was also a bonus for Kayak rentals and snorkelling.

The condo is beautifully furnished and exceeded all our needs. I loved the soft sheets.

All our questions were answered and we thoroughly enjoyed our week at 3602. We'll be back in 2012!
