Kanaloa at Kona is amazing place! Location is perfect! The grounds and the facilities are comfortable and indulging.

We enjoyed our stay here at Kanaloa 2906 very much. We stayed here for 6 nights in May 2024. The condo was clean, spacious, beautifully furnished, and well maintained. The view of the ocean from the balcony was awesome. I contacted the owner once to ask a question (sorry!). He responded quickly, was very helpful, and super nice. We liked the area and the condo complex. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation here. We would like to stay here again in the future. Thank you for letting us rent your condo.

Condo was very clean, pretty blue coloring, and had a beautiful view. A 3 bedroom unit is useful with multi generational families or multiple families. 2 full king master bedrooms and a third smaller single bedroom works well for kids or a crib. Kanaloa is a wonderful property and this condo is no exception. A bit light on coffee cups but enough for the adults. We have stayed at various condos here and can recommend staying at 2906. Owner was very pleasant and responsive when contacted.

Our favorite feature of this condo was location! It had a beautiful, unobstructed view of the ocean and was close to many great beaches and snorkel spots (even a hidden one within walking distance).

We had two families staying there (4 adults and 3 young children) and had plenty of space.

Our family of four spent the week here for Spring Break. We had an incredible time! The condo is well kept and in a great location. We loved the sunsets and crashing waves. We enjoyed the community pool a couple of days, and if it wasn't our first time here probably would have relaxed more poolside. The condo is stocked with plenty of snorkel and beach gear for the beach park about 1 mile away. And the condo had many extra supplies not every VRBO has which was a pleasant surprise after a 10 hour flight. We toured many other areas of the island, and it's a great spot to start and end the day...

Stunning and majestic are weak starters to this description. The condo is spacious and nicely appointed and equipped.

Every 15 seconds a wave crashes in with larger swells about once a minute that launch geysers of white water spewing to the sky. Don't bother with the televisions, the real show can be seen and felt right outside. This is a wonderful place.

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...

A wonderful unit, well equipped with lots of helpful information, a real home from home. 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.

Kanaloa Kona is a very peaceful location. My husband and young son really enjoy the surroundings. It is a prefect retreat for us all. 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.

There was easy access to pools from any part of the complex and the location is ideal. Close enough to downtown without feeling too touristy. We definitely will stay there again when we return to Kona.

We have been coming to Kona and the Kanaloa for over 20 years and unit 1603 was the nicest and most comfortable unit we have stayed in. It has excellent views of the ocean, is quiet, tastefully furnished and equipped with comfortable furniture and a well supplied kitchen. The hosts were also very easy to contact and provided all of the information we needed for a relaxed stay. We will certainly recommend the unit to our friends and also try to schedule our future visits during times the unit is available.

Everything about this condo was perfect for my week at the Big Island in June, 2019. The condo is roomy, comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped, and, with windows open, the ocean breeze all through the day and night is a dream. The view is wonderful, especially for sunset and the lanai a perfect place to enjoy it over dinner. My friends staying elsewhere thought my condo the best and preferred gathering there for creating dinner together. Boating and kayaking are nearby as is a small shopping center. I would definitely try to stay here for my next trip!

The lanai was pretty big and looked out onto the pool and ocean. There was a table and chairs so eating al fresco was easy. We were also pleasantly surprised to find some beach chairs...

Very well supplied and roomy. Great location near ocean pool and barbeque. Good view, but not so close that the ocean mist covers everything. We usually get upstairs units, missed the vaulted ceilings, but not the stairs when hauling luggage. Unit could use painting and a new master bedrooom bed and some other owner TLC. Met the housekeeper on our way out. What a nice lady! I'd stay in this unit again. I've never been disappointed by renting from Aloha Condos - and I've rented from them a few times. Kanaloa is a great condo complex.

We liked everything about this place. We did not have to deal with any front desk, just get the parking pass from the gate monitor and straight to the condo. It felt like we were staying at our own house. Complete with everything one needs for cooking (including some required spices and oils), beach chairs, boogie boards, candles, and everything you can think of. This place overlooks the family pool (closes at 8 pm) and you can see and hear the waves from the patio. This unit was hundreds of dollar's cheaper than the direct ocean front where you can see the sunset, but it is only a 1...

We have stayed in this community for three years now and would highly recommend it. The condos are well kept, have W/D A/C or fans - lanais with great views. This had had ample beach towels and tour books on HI. The location is great, about 10 mins from 'downtown' Kona, as well as close to the Southern region with coffee plants and coves for snorkel. Would definitely rent this unit again.

The condo was well-cared for and had all the amenities one could wish for and more. We really enjoyed the ocean view and the quiet surrounding. There was a grocery store nearby with a large selection and this allowed us to take advantage of the well thought out kitchen as well as the BBQ facilities. The only thing I didn't like was having to leave! I would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay and hope to be able to return someday.

Aloha, If you're looking for a great place to stay on the Big Island this is it. This was our second trip back to Kanaloa at Kona and my wife and I can't wait to return next year.

We rent condos so we can "live" while on the island. We like to spend time in, cook our meals, and feel "at home". The condo had the bare essentials for a stay, but could stand to be updated to accommodate a more comfortable living situation. Small things like mixing bowls, storage containers (considering things need to be kept airtight to avoid pests), a mixer, toaster oven that works, etc. That being said, it was clean and private. It was a nice size space for two. We enjoyed our stay and love the complex. We've stayed in Kanaloa several times and are always impressed by the way ...

Overall, the condo had everything that my wife and I needed on our vacation to the Big Island. The location also served us well. The review is not a 5-start because the condo decor was very dated, the amenities were adequate, the toilet had issues with not flushing properly (the water to it was shut off when we arrived), the cable did not work, and air did not flow well between rooms in the condo. If you are looking for only a place to eat breakfast or the occasional meal and to sleep, this is a good condo for the price.

If we are ever priviledged to return to Kanaloa at Kona we would definately rent this unit if it is available.

We found the condo to be reasonably comfortable and quite well equipped although much of the outdoor equipment that the owner has left for guests to use was in poor condition. My wife complained that the condo was not very clean - I believe the word she used was "disgusting" - although I found it not bad myself. It could have used a good dusting and a little more attention in the closets and bathroom. The photos that the owner has posted represent...

The location is incredibly convenient, quite close to a shopping mall with a Longs/CVS drugstore and a KTA grocery store.

We were all surprised that it was as nice (if not nicer!!) than the website pictures show. It was immaculately clean, and the kitchen was wonderfully stocked with any cooking utensil you could ever use, plus a lot of pantry "basics" (olive oil, spices, condiments, etc).

It's difficult to add something new to the accolades already posted. My only advise would be to open up to the sights and sounds that Hawaii has to offer. Arise each morning to the sounds of the birds. Go out to the Lanai and just look, listen and feel all that is taking place around you. See if you agree with me, when I say - Paradise Found.

I have vacationed four times in the condo. For me, it is home away from home. Immediately walking out on the lanai I breathe deeply and peace overcomes me. The view is 6 star plus! Everything one needs is supplied including beach towels, boggie board, chairs etc. Sleeping in the king bed is like floating on a cloud. A paddle fan above you and the fragrant plumerias just outside the windows makes for a sleep so peaceful, one does not want to get up in the morning. Having breakfast on the lanai and planning your day could not be better. The owner is a kind, generous and thoughtful person. The...

This was our first stay at Kanaloa at Kona, and could not be more pleased. All dealings leading up to our stay were professional and courteous. We were obviously dealing with an experienced, conscientious owner. Check in went without a hitch, and we appreciated the covered, dedicated parking space. The condo has beautiful new, large ceramic tile flooring, and the unit was clean and in good order on arrival. The furnishings were of substantial quality, far better than most rentals. A lovely gift basket awaited us. The kitchen was very well stocked; even had a few condiments in the fridge. Th...

Beautiful appointed and beautifully located spacious one bedroom condo with a fantastic ocean view lanai, just perfect for the two of us. We loved the location, easy access to Kona but away from the bustle of the more heavily touristy areas. My top priorities in a rental are a well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed, and this unit did not disappoint except in two very small areas. First, the pillows on the very comfortable king sized bed were well past their prime, and secondly the dishwasher was unable to clean a load of very well-rinsed dishes, so we ended up doing all of the dishes ...

We rented 1604 for 2 weeks in mi May, 2013. Everything was as advertised for both the unit and the property! Perfect for 2 people (and maybe an older child with the fold-out bed). The view from the Lanai (Ocean, Golf Course, Mountains - your choice) was fabulous. We didn't need a/C, as the two fans in the condo were more than enough to keep things comfortable. A little hard to find in the dark, but we checked Goggle maps before we left and this helped. Would definitely choose this unit again!!

The view is fantastic, with the water, the golf course, the mountains, the palm trees. Kanaloa, the proprietor of the complex, is so helpful and accomodating. The amenities in this unit are all a-1, especially for the two of us. The location of Kanaloa is perfect for long walks in various directions at any time of day. It is also so conveniently located near a shopping center which has a principal super market, drug store, restaurants, and a movie theater with first-rate movies.

Kanaloa at Kona With a family of four, unit 704 at Kanaloa exceeded our expectations. Our family has been coming to the Big Island nearly every summer for the past 25 years. We have stayed at various rental units in the past but this one tops the list! Location, location, location. The unit is situated 10 minutes away from downtown Kona. One of the best snorkel beaches on the island (Kahaluu) is only two minutes away. Did you forget an ingredient to your favorite dish? No need to worry, the local market is just up the road.

I stayed in this condo with my husband and again with my best girlfriend. It is perfectly located so you are close to everything and yet it is quiet and peaceful. The decor gives a real island feel and is high-end and comfortable. Everything you will need is there, just bring your clothes and kick back. There is a second patio off of the master bedroom with a wonderful view and breeze. We enjoyed our morning "Kona coffee" there and our evening Mai Tai on the beach or the other patio with the golf course view.

The condo was beautifully updated with granite counters, and comfortable furniture. The view from the lanai was of the bay. Loved the sound of the ocean. Enjoyed the use of 3 pools and hottubs and the nearness to the grocery. Only criticism is the location of the bedroom which looks out to the condo driveway. The bed could have had a softer mattress cover. Only say that because I'm used to a softer bed. There was plenty room for our golf clubs etc.

Overall- well furnished and equipped condo with a great view of bay and Kona Marriott Hotel. New carpet on stairs made for beautiful and easy access to this 2nd floor condo. Negatives- Lighting needs to be improved as there is really only one light in the sitting room. A small table in the main room would be nice for reading, games, and eating when the weather is not suitable on the deck. Proximity to road made leaving the windows open in bedroom a problem. In summary, it was a great stay.

The water view was not as good as I had anticipated. This was (to me) a very expensive place to stay with reduced/crowded amenities and lack of peace at times.

We loved our visit at Condo 2904. The complex was peaceful and had a mellow vibe. I liked that it didn't feel super commercial or "mega resort" like some of the other properties can be. The unit had everything we needed for our stay. I especially appreciated the washer and dryer and also the snorkel equipment. The decor is very pretty, and the furnishings are very comfortable. All the communication about check in and policies was clear. The price was very reasonable and I'll return again if I'm ever heading back to Kona.

The new owners gave us a welcome basket that was much appreciated and enjoyed. We have stayed at Kanaloa before and enjoyed the peaceful setting and this condo is by far the nicest. The view was great and we so much enjoyed spending time on the lanai. We would definitely like to return and would recommend it to anyone.

Air conditioning is a must at that time of year in the cove. Needed more Kleenex....had to buy own. Beautiful view and the condo is decorated very nicely...not too Hawaiian but just enough. I usually stay in 2003 so it was nice to be away from the roaring ocean and all those stairs. Couldn't find any vases for the lovely flowers we bought at the farmers market so had to buy one which we left there. Well equipped kitchen.

My wife & I vacation in Kona at least once a year. This condo costs a bit more than where we typically stay, but it was worth every penny. We stayed two weeks this time. It’s an ocean front unit with a spacious lanai positioned along a cove – so you can enjoy the waves without being awoken by intermittent pounding of being on the point. It also sits pleasantly far from any road noise. The perfect little place nestled amongst lush tropical foliage. Nice neighbors too. The grounds, pools, and BBQ areas are kept neat and tidy – and parking is reserved. The unit is beautifully fur...

The condo had a clean and welcoming feel. The condo is conveniently located. For snorkeling, the nearest beach is just five minutes away. Downtown is about 10-12 minutes away. Other beaches to the south are about 30-40 minutes away. What we liked the least was that we could look into a couple of other c...

We enjoyed the beautiful views from the lanais and the sound of the waves in the bay. It was interesting watching various people occasionally come to snorkel, fish and surf. The condo was well-stocked, but had no wi-fi. The one drawback was cleanliness in some areas, especially the use of a strong floral-smelling detergent in cleaning out the refrigerator and microwave, leaving them smelly enough to flavor our bread and lettuce.

Our reasons for a four star rather than a five star are: 1-bed lines were OK, not exceptional 2-bathroom caulking and around the kitchen sink 3-Several wall light switches were not functioning 4-blinds need replacing Overall we were thrilled with our stay. The housekeepers were terrific, the condo staff helpful and the location perfect for all our adventures in and around Kona. The pool area is right on the ocean and lovely. We didn't use the Bbq's but they were available. One recommendation - be clear about the location and how to find the parking spot as we arrived in the dark and it...

Nice views, nice pools to swim in. Well kept and quite. Would recommend to all who want a nice place, close for Kailua/Kona. Close to beaches on the Pacific Ocean and coffeee plantations/growers.

My husband missed air condition occasionally. Close enough to Kona for nighly trips to the restaurants. Didn't us eteh pools but the beach side pool looked great.

We really enjoyed the condo. Sitting on the lanai as the sun rose and the waves lapped (or crashed) at the shore was my favorite part of our stay. The condo has a very well equipped kitchen. We liked the fact that there are 2 bathrooms but they could use a bit of modernizing. We also liked having the hard-wired internet access in the condo so that we could stay in touch with family and check our home town and sports news. The condo is on the second floor, with a set of about 15 stairs to get to it. This could be a problem for poeple with mobility issues. The resort is located just ...

A place to escape life's daily trials and tribulations. Quiet, relaxing, beautiful and certainly a hard working person's vacation stay if they just want to unwind.

We loved condo 3403 with its ample space, tasteful furnishings, and two lanais: one overlooking the lapping waters of the bay, and the other with tropical flowers and a clear view of our rental car. The condo is a short drive from a shopping center with a grocery store, a full-service post office, banks, several restaurants, etc. It is also close to the Kona Country Club where we were able to golf the ocean course. We took several day trips along the southern coast, up the northern Kohala Coast and the beaches, to Hawi and the extreme north coast, and over the mountain to Waimea. We also ...

Condo was clean and fully functional, walking for exercise was in a nice area. The location of the condos is in a secluded location, will definitely stay here again. Very quiet and peaceful. Click to rate would not let me enter 4 stars.

The Kanaloa Resort is near ourfavorite snorkel beach, close to places we like to shop, eat at, or visit, is convenient to the highways, but is quiet and peaceful. Uniit 3403 has a great view, close to the water. The lanai made a perfect place for breakfast while planning the day.

This is a well placed condo, with a nice view and sounds of the ocean in a small cove, a few hundred feet beyond the lawn. We rented from the owner through alohaCondos.com (great web site!). Very good value at $99 night plus $125 cleaning fee. All the comforts of home, plus extras that other guests had left. The unit is somewhat dated but everything was clean and worked (the vertical blinds can be a challenge though). Well stocked with kitchen utensils and pans, and an outdoor barbeque just steps from the front door. The main noise we experienced was from the rental unit above (we call...

The condo was very comfortable and we felt right at home. The location was wonderful with a view of the bay. We received the morning sun and shade in the afternoon which allowed us to enjoy the lanai for the whole day. Everything that we needed was supplied ex: towels, dishes, etc. If we are fortunate enough to return we would definitely stay at this condo again. The two areas that needed repair were the fridge that leaked and the ensuite toilet which also leaked. We felt there could have been a few more drinking glasses.

My wife and I were amazed at the value which was presented to us by staying two weeks at this condo. It far surpassed our expectations. The view of the bay was spectacular as well as soothing to listen to. All possible dinnerware and cookware were provided. Cable modem for computer use was a big plus. The multiple pools both normal and hot/Jacuzzi were immaculate. Bbqs were located everywhere. The physical location of the complex is very well situated. I really can't say enough good things about this rental. I must mention a small minus though. Sleeping beyond 6:30am is almost imp...

Surreal views! Beautiful, modern and well-appointed ocean-side condo villa. Definitely a home away from home. Great place to stay - close to golf, snorkeling and shopping. Love the pools and tennis - very accommodating & friendly owner, consequently excellent guest services. Thank You!

Our unit was perfect! We came for our wedding & stayed for the honeymoon. My parents had come here before so were familiar with Kanaloa. Love the quiet here & the new restaurant with great food. Our unit has a great view & was just the right for the two of us. There was so much to do on the island we ran out of time & hated to leave. We definitely will plan on a return trip for an anniversary & hopefully stay in the same unit, it would be perfect! Thanks again for a wonderful place to start our life together & have a truly memorable week in paradise. Mahalo, K...
