About this apartment rental

Kanaloa at Kona is considered by many to be the nicest resort on the Kona Coast. It sits on an ancient Lava flow that juts out into the Ocean about 1/2 mile, thereby separating the resort from the noise and traffic of Alii Drive, with entrance through a quiet residential neighborhood. All the other resorts in town sit right on Alii Drive. The resort is beautifully manicured and is located on a quiet, peaceful 16 acres bounded by the Kona Country Club Golf Course on the north, the ocean on the west, serene He'eia Bay on the south,. Walking distance to all the activities of beautiful Keauhou Bay, and less than half a mile to the Keauhou Shopping Center with supermarket, drug store, urgent care, and many shops and restaurants. Due to the integrated design and low density of the property, it has the feel of "Old Hawaii", as opposed to condo or apartment blocks with a few palm trees spread around.

The resort is a gated community with three lovely pools, each with jacuzzi, shower, and changing rooms, two lighted tennis courts, six BBQ's, and a front desk with a very helpful concierge on duty to assist you. The Kanaloa at Kona oceanfront restaurant is again open for service, providing fine oceanfront dining in Keauhou at the water’s edge. There are enough world class beaches up and down the coast for you to explore a different one each day!

The condo was upgraded in 2015, and new carpet installed in 2018. The condo also has vaulted ceilings in every room giving it a very large open feel. There are three lanais in unit.

The spacious main lanai is oceanfront off of the living room and the two back lanais are off of the master bedroom and guest bedroom facing the mountains. We keep the condo stocked with snorkels, masks, fins, boogie boards, floaties, beach towels and a cooler so you're ready to start your vacation as soon as you check in!

You have several dining options. You can enjoy meals with seating for four at the glass table in the dining room or you can enjoy your meals oceanfront on the main lanai. You can also dine at the small table for two in the kitchen.

The spacious kitchen provides guests with all of the amenities and appliances to create gourmet meals right in the condo. Hawaiian Koa wood cabinets, tiled floors and granite countertops compliment this large, open kitchen with lots of cabinets for storage.

Our family stayed at this lovely condo for 8 days in July/August and were impressed with the quality of furnishings, upkeep of the condo, and spectacular view. We paid for A/C and it kept the condo perfectly cool! The owner was also very responsive whenever we contacted him. If we ever come back, we would love to stay here again! Absolute paradise!

We stayed for a week. We had breakfast every morning on the lanai while watching people fish, swim and, when the tide was high, just listening to the waves move over the rocks. We saw sunset every night from the deck of the ocean pool and the air conditioning was a real plus for us! Our family had a wonderful time. It’s located close to lots of fun things to do. We would definitely stay here again.

Property is a bit dated and could use some upgrades, but the location makes up for it. The unit is located less than 3 min drive from a shopping center with everything you could need, including a grocery store and some great restaurants. Unit is located in quiet area that is close to snorkeling excursion pickup points, snorkeling beaches, and swimming beachs. The beach shown in the listing pics was within walking distance but was rocky and was rough while we were there. It wasn’t great for swimming, but we saw people snorkeling there. It was great drinking coffee on lanai and listening to/seeing the water. AC was must while we were there in July. Condo complex and pools were nice.

I’d like to make a review . we got here Saturday approximately 3 PM. Checked in without any issues but got inside the condo and it was hot. Very hot in here. This is not a central air conditioning unit. It has an individual units in the living room. It has a unit in the bedroom and one upstairs that you set to its own thermostat, it did seem to cool down relatively quickly after a couple hours. I just don’t understand why somebody couldn’t walk over here from the front desk and turn things on knowing that we were due here any hour . It does request that you take your shoes off, and we do take our shoes off at home, but this did not look as though it was as clean as it should be. The amount of dirt and debris on the ceiling fans was disgusting. I would not suggest turning them on. They haven’t been cleaned. mini cobwebs in the corners of the higher ceilings Upstairs, there are two single beds. Who ever is up there’s gonna be in a single bed. The bathroom seems to be riddled with termites as you can see the termite droppings from bathroom door, the molding and all of it being eaten away by termites. The upstairs actually had a sock left to the right of one of the twin beds, obviously from previous occupants. As far as towels, kitchen towels ..bathroom towels there are not enough towels here for six people if that’s who you plan on bringing six people you will not have enough towels or hand towels or kitchen towels. . As far as having a washer

Nice location, but disappointed in stay as the unit is really old and tired. Chipping paint, stained carpets, old furniture and decor. Mismatched towels, bedding, dinnerware. Fire alarm didn’t work and basic essentials missing. Images on listing show queen in loft, but it was two twins. Says sleeps six, old mattress in closet. Had to wash sheets as they smelled like mildew. Responsive host.

Great location, beautiful views, needed deep cleaning, updates and really not room enough for 6 people even with 2 small childten. Overall we loved the place with the 3 pools, close to stores and restaurants. The grounds and pool area were spotless including the gas fireplaces for bbqing. We would go back to this place. Thank you!

We loved staying at this property! The views off the main lanai are incredible - there is a lovely cove where you can listen to the ocean and birds singing while drinking your morning coffee or sipping your evening cocktail. There is tons of room, the condo was very clean, the beds comfy, and the air conditioning kept us cool. Not only that, but the entire property is really lovely and away from the hustle and bustle of town, so you are close to amenities but far enough away to feel like you have a peaceful setting. And there is an incredible ocean front pool that our kids played in every evening (and it offers incredible sunset views). Thank you, thank you, thank you to the property owners. We would love to return.
