About this apartment rental

Watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean at this beautiful oceanfront resort! Your vacation hideaway is a spacious one bedroom, two bath, first floor condo, fully renovated in 2023! The complex is beautifully landscaped, very well maintained, upscale and quiet. A large comfortable(really!) queen-size sofa bed in the living room plus a porta crib and fold-away bed helps this unit easily accommodate 4 adults or two adults with up to 3 children. Rates are based on 1-4 persons; 5th person $10/night additional.

The condo has a spacious oceanside lanai off the living room with a wet bar and view of He'eia Bay; plus a second lanai off the bedroom.

In May and June of 2023, we completely renovated the entire unit. Replaced the 40-year-old bathrooms and kitchen with new cabinets, appliances, fixtures, sinks, tubs, showers and granite countertops. We installed new flooring throughout the unit, new and brighter lighting, additional ceiling fans and updated the paint and overall decor. New sofa-bed, new lanai furniture and also some exciting new artwork. In updating everything, we aimed to maintain the character and homey feel we loved when we first bought the unit and hope our guests will agree that we succeeded. We increased the number of pictures on the listing to make it easy to visualize everything.

This is our Hawaiian home-away-from-home which we offer as a vacation rental when we are back on the mainland. The fully renovated kitchen is equipped with pots and pans, quality glassware and utensils, and all the usual small appliances, including the all-important coffee maker! Parking is free, covered, and convenient. Also free WiFi in the condo and at the pools that can be used while looking out at the ocean and gardens.

And we have hair dryers in both bathrooms! (one of the more popular questions!)

The delightful ocean breezes and ceiling fans throughout will keep you cool and content. Layout allows cross ventilation so it's very comfortable sleeping. Electricity is very expensive in HI, so we made a conscious decision to forgo installing air conditioning. This benefits our guests greatly in two ways - 1) we can continue to offer our condo at a very competitive rate, and 2) acclimation is easy, many of our guests have commented that while the unit is very comfortable without AC, they also appreciate not having to go through the hot/cold changes when entering/leaving the unit. An additional note - during the renovation, all of the workers commented on how cool the unit was to work in - even during warmer days!

Kanaloa is a gated community with two top-notch tennis courts, 3 pools and spas and a golf course (Kona CC) right next door. The complex is lovely; very well maintained, beautifully landscaped, and feels more like a village than a condo development. This is a truly tropical paradise right on the Pacific Ocean.

Living Space: Over 1000 square feet of living space, plus a bedroom lanai and a spacious oceanside lanai (with wet bar) off the living room area.

Refund Policy: $200 cancellation fee >60 days before arrival; when a cancellation is less than 60 days prior to scheduled arrival, the refund is for the amount resold, less 20%.

This is the third time we stayed at this property. It’s always clean and stocked with basics when we arrive. It is close to down town and near many beautiful beaches.

Such a lovely place to stay. The hosts were amazing. Everything was seamless. The beach gear to use was a bonus. The location was great for us because it was further from the main tourist area and the shopping center was never crowded. Definitely keeping this on my saved list for a future stay.

Great place. Extremely large for a 1Br/2Ba. Very well stocked. Don’t bring beach gear on airplane, this place has everything you need! Boogie boards, snorkel gear, umbrellas, etc. if you want to cook, unit has everything you need. Our vacation was great!

We've stayed here before and were so elated to see the updating that's been done. the place was very clean, organized and well-stocked. Really enjoy the location since it's away from the throngs of Kailua. The only slight detraction was a very loud neighbor. But overall had a great stay.

Our stay in the comfortable condo in south Kona was good. We had everything we needed. The unit was well stocked. We enjoyed the outdoor eating area (lanai) that was private with lush landscape and morning sun. Without air conditioning we kept cool enough with fans on and no blankets. The sunsets poolside were a stand out. The complex is quiet. The staff was very friendly. We would come again.

I was here with my girlfriend for my aunt’s birthday (coincidentally she lives in the condo directly upstairs!!) and we really enjoyed our stay. The condo was super clean, two full bathrooms was a dream, and all newly renovated felt like a very good time. It’s far enough south that you don’t have to feel the bustle of downtown Kona, but close enough you don’t feel like it’s a burden to get around. The property is great and right next to the ocean. I was able to check out a couple other properties my family stayed in and honestly this is just a great complex filled with dutiful owners. If I come back to the big island and my aunt’s condo isn’t available, I will definitely stay here again! (Sorry about leaving the shampoo/conditioner!!)
