We previously stayed at this property several years ago. It has been meticulously maintained and we loved staying here again!! The location is fantastic, just a short drive into town. One of the best amenities is the incredible views from every room!! The sunsets were beautiful. Janice was wonderful to work with. We highly recommend this property for anyone visiting The Big Island!

The condo was beautiful and really good location. The owner supplied everything needed for comfort and entertainment. If a vacationer is looking for ocean front property this would be the place. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this condo.

Repeat stay for us. This unit is everything - view, all the little things you want to make you feel at home (batteries, beach chairs, golf balls, etc).
Janice is so accommodating and very responsive. She truly cares about our stay and we feel like part of her family when we are there.
Without a doubt- best unit in Kanaloa!

We booked the property based on the reviews, location and a unique and spacious layout. I can only affirm all of the positive reviews. The condo was spotless, the beachfront view was stunning and we were provided with everything we needed (beach towels, snorkeling masks, coolers, beach chairs, kitchen equipment/supplies, binoculars, etc). Additionally, Janice was exceptionally responsive to all of our questions before and during our visit. All things considered, the property was an outstanding home base for our vacation. I would not hesitate to book this condo again - we look forward to spending more time in this special place.

Simply magical. We have stayed at many many rentals and this was hands down the best. From organization to cleanliness, the oceanfront view and space, you will enjoy this condo…trust us. Thank you for making our vacation perfect.

We are a family of four with two tween girls. The property was perfect for us: spacious, clean and modern. Two ample bedrooms, a good-size, well-appointed en-suite master with a big second bathroom. Kitchen had plenty of necessaries for cooking and storage. Comfortable dining and living area. We loved the outdoor balcony where we had breakfast watching the waves crashing on the shore about 100 feet away! The complex has three pools, tennis courts etc and is conveniently situated for local beeches, restaurants etc.
The apartment comes with a stock of books, games, and beach accessories. Janice is a pleasure to deal with, replies promptly to any questions and clearly put thought into ensuring our stay would be a delightful one.
Highly recommended!

This property has it all, literally! The owners have thought of everything to make your stay feel like home. Communicating with the owners was easy and they responded so quickly. The view, superb! Beds were firm and comfy, kitchen fulky stocked. Plenty of beach towels as well. They had spices and oil for cooking, ziplock bags, ice packs for the cooler and nice beach equipment, at least 4 beach chairs, 4 boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, full face mask and goggles and snorkel. It definitely is t your "typical" rental. You can tell the owners take pride in their property and keep it very nice. It will be our place when we visit the Big Island from now on.

Janice and Bruce’s condo is amazing. It has breathtaking oceanfront views (best location in the complex) and you get to be lulled to sleep by the waves. The condo was spotless when we arrived and I cannot overstate how thoughtfully and throughly well-equipped the condo is for visitors. The only thing we needed to get for our family was a few groceries. We were so sad to leave the best rental ever and we can’t wait to hopefully stay in this condo again.

We had such a great time at this beautiful home. The location is as close to the ocean as you can get. It was so nice to fall asleep to the sounds of the waves. This condo is equipped with everything you will need for your stay. You can cook meals or head out to nearby restaurants. It is around the corner from the best snorkeling beach on the island. You can kayak, SUP, and even surf nearby. Thank you for another perfect vacation!

Condo is well equipped. The owner is friendly and responsive. The views from the condo are amazing, and we loved falling asleep to and waking up to the sound of the waves crashing. Great location.
10.0
Absolutely loved the location, property grounds and facilities, and the condo itself - incredible view on the lanai. It was immaculately clean, everything worked just fine, and was fully supplied with necessities. You can tell the owners take great pride in keeping their unit in excellent condition which was greatly appreciated and obvious. The only thing one might consider is that this is a lower level unit and there are people above you which can get a little noisy at times. This is not a criticism of the owners by any means (since they have no control over this) but only something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper - no worse than being in a hotel room with people above.
Can't say enough positive things about the unit and look forward to returning in the future. Thanks so much for your hospitality and always staying in touch before arrival to make sure things went smoothly (which they did).

This home was the perfect place for our family of adults to have an amazing time on the Big Island. We were mesmerized by the ocean waves sitting on the lanai celebrating the sunset every day. Slept soundly each night with AC and comfy beds. The condo had what we needed to make meals, fun at the beach with towels and chairs, and perfect distance from so many places to enjoy. Loved that we could wash clothes, and didn’t have to buy those common household items. The condo complex was quite, easy in and out, and convenient parking place. We hope to return again soon And will stay here again. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home.

We have enjoyed this spacious condo many times over the last dozen years or so and it continues to impress. The location and views from every room cannot be beat. The rooms are very large and well appointed with many upgrades. The kitchen has everything you need to make delicious meals after shopping at the nearby farmers markets and local KTA store. We have never required the A/C and enjoy opening the windows and sliding doors to let in the cooling breeze and soothing sounds of ocean waves crashing on the very close lave rocks. Sit on the lanai in the mornings to watch for spinner dolphins, divers, kayakers, outrigger canoers, fishing boats and more. The Kanaloa grounds around the condo are very well maintained and the area is very quiet and safe. Kanaloa has easy access to close by white sand beaches, restaurants, shops and roads leading to anywhere on the island. It is a perfect home-base for exploring the Big Island. Highly recommended!

Loved, loved, loved the front row seat to the evening sunsets. Sitting on the lanai just feet away from the ocean and listening to the waves was our favorite part of our stay. This was our first stay in a condo and I think we have been spoiled!

Beautiful fully equipped condo on the ocean, perfect for 2 couples. Sit on the lanai for breakfast and watch the whales breaching. The owner is accessible at all times if needed.

This is a great property for watching the surf break on the rocks just below the deck. And for sunset photos as is west facing. And for whale spotting.
The unit is roomy and very comfortable and well maintained and well stocked.
We enjoyed it a lot and hope to return.

We have stayed at many properties at Kanaloa but this is by far the best. The view was amazing and you could see/hear ocean from both bedrooms
Janice stocks the condo with everything you would want for every day living (including ice packs!!)
We will be staying here over and over again

We've been coming to Kona since 1991 and have stayed in more than a half dozen different ocean front two bedroom units at Kanaloa over the years. This unit is by far the best. Since we discovered it some years ago we always stay here. On top of that, Janice and Bruce are super hosts. They bend over backwards to make sure everything is perfect. Can't wait to come back next year!

We stayed here for 10 days! The sunsets every night were amazing. All paper products were supplied, cleaning, toys games, flash lights. Janice and Bruce kept in touch with us. The AC broke the 2nd day we were there. All workers in HI are slow. They did what they could to get the AC going. They did all they could! would stay here again!

Alaho. The pictures of the property are accurate. You will see that amazing view from every window. The owners are welcoming and responsive. The unit is clean and Gecko free! Our favorite accommodation on The Big Island.
10.0
The place was immaculate with a well stocked kitchen and a stuffed front closet that had everything needed to enjoy the outdoors. Snorkel gear, lots of towels, chairs, boogie boards, and a good sized cooler. The view is as good as you get on the island and we spent many a sunset sitting on the lanai. The only thing I would change is our bed was a little too firm for us. That being said I would and probably will rent this unit again.
Thank you for sharing your unit with us!

Instant "Ahhh"...first impression walking in the door and kept on delivering! Ocean FRONT - waves crashing and ocean breezes. Best equipped kitchen we've ever enjoyed (and we've stayed in many rental properties!) Comfy beds, new appliances, loved the A/C, such a quiet location, convenient grill, enjoyed all three pools. Property is safe and gorgeous. Appreciated the in-room safe, although felt completely safe! So many thoughtful touches - mini reading lights in the bedroom, tons of beach towels/toys, cooler, ziplocks for left-overs (we cooked almost all meals at condo). Closet full of books, flashlights, puzzles, games and good info on local eateries and activities. Good TV, comfy furniture, lots of charging plugs and speaker to play Hawaiian music off phone. Everything takes a bit of driving to get to on Big Island, but 20 miles from Costco/Airport, and hour from mega-resort/beaches. 20 minutes from Two-step snorkeling to the south. 2 minutes to nearest shopping and post-office. Got a free manta ray show by walking to Sheraton minutes away. Excellent home base - we could not wait to return each afternoon to air-conditioned comfort, blender drinks, patio views, showers and deep, cool, peaceful sleep. Wonderful, responsive hosts. The best property we've ever rented in 20+ yrs traveling to Hawaii - and that is say A LOT! Staying in this unit ended up being a large part of why we enjoyed our vacation as much as we did. This was our first trip to Big Island. Would recommend this unit a heartbeat!

We loved our stay. The property is perfect! The location is ideal for all activities to do on the Island. We had breakfast every morning on the beautiful terrace facing the ocean. I'm running out of adjectives to describe how amazing this place is. We are already looking at the dates to go back! Thanks to Janice and Bruce for their welcome and impeccable availability.

This was by far the best supplied VRBO I have ever stayed at...all we had to buy was food. Janice leaves thoughtful things you may need like cotton balls, hydrogen peroxide, or feminine products for emergencies. Most gracious hosts ever. The setting is lovely, with the waves crashing on the rocks and the view from the kitchen AND living room. You do not notice neighbors at all. Very peaceful, enjoyed eating on the porch. We had a wonderful stay, thank you so much!

We’ve stayed at many units in the Kanaloa at Kona resort over the years. This is by far the best unit with the best location. We have stayed there now many times and each time the wonderful owners have made many improvements. This unit is fully equipped with everything you need for a wonderful vacation from beach gear to kitchen appliances. The condo is right on the rocks with views of Kona and Keahou Bay. Every night you are lulled to sleep by the waves on the rocks. Around the corner from the Kanaloa there is the wonderful Kahalu’u Beach Park with the best snorkeling on the island. The Kanaloa has three pools, 2 tennis courts, and exquisite landscaped grounds. Up the hill is the Keahou Shopping Center with a Long’s Drugs and a grocery store. It’s close to Kona but far enough away from the crowds to make sure you have a relaxing vacation.

We had a lovely stay at this condo. We were there for six weeks and enjoyed our time. The lanai was right above the ocean and provided the most spectacular sunsets and other views. The condominium complex is older and dated, But very well kept up. The few issues that we did have were handled satisfactorily by Janice, the owner. This is a lovely condo and we enjoyed our visit.

Wave watching relax
It was a lazy relaxing time with friends hadn’t seen in 2 years. Enjoyed pool time and walking. Quick trips for groceries up the hill. The condo was very well equipped. The morning paper was nice. Glad the lanai had a shade screen! Couple visits to snorkeling beach, and the Coffee Shack. All in all, exactly what we wanted!
