About this apartment rental
Please read NOTICE towards end of this description affecting November 18 - December 1, 2024.
Kanaloa at Kona is an idyllic tropical oasis located on a point of land and surrounded by He'eia Bay, the Pacific Ocean and the Kona Country Club Ocean Course. It is rated by many as the 'BEST' complex in Kailua-Kona. With lighted tennis courts, a pickleball court, three swimming pools (one is on the ocean), hot tubs, barbecues and walking paths, Kanaloa allows for a complete vacation without leaving the complex.
Perfectly located on the edge of He'eia Bay and looking out on the Pacific Ocean, this luxurious yet comfortable home-away-from-home provides the most beautiful daytime, sunset and nighttime views you can imagine.! Throughout the year, you can watch the rolling surf which is home to turtles, dolphins, manta rays and whales, as well as local surfers. Relax with your morning coffee while watching the kayaks, canoes, dive boats and fishing boats as they head for open ocean. Or later in the day, perhaps you would enjoy a tropical drink on the lanai as the boats return home to Keauhou Harbor.
The unit has been professionally (and beautifully) decorated and boasts some homey touches as well. This is a family owned and maintained unit with personality! NEW HARDWOOD FLOORING in the kitchen and living areas plus NEW CARPET in the bedrooms (August 2022). All stainless kitchen appliances include a NEW DISHWASHER and NEW RANGE with convection and air fryer (September 2022). The kitchen is fully outfitted with everything you need to prepare a simple snack or even a gourmet meal. Of course, if relaxing means staying out of the kitchen, a short drive into town provides you with a myriad of delicious dining options. And for the environmentally conscious we have upgraded most lighting to LED (2021).
Nearby, you can enjoy golf, swimming, diving, shopping, sightseeing, hiking, surfing, movies, spas, dining, etc. There is no end to the activities and attractions you can experience within an easy drive from Kanaloa!
Kanaloa is a non-smoking property. Please do not smoke anywhere on the property including no smoking inside the condo or on the lanai.
Please note that only registered guests may use the property amenities. Visitors of guests may not use the swimming pools or tennis courts. On holiday weekends guests will be required to obtain a wristband from the main office to use the pools. Mahalo for your compliance to these rules of the Kanaloa at Kona Resort.

Great condo for our family of five. Its not easy for us to find accommodations when our boys (21 and 18) refuse to share beds. Well stocked kitchen, items in kitchen such as sandwich bags, paper napkins, etc, made the stay so simple. We enjoyed the lanai and the oceam poolocean

This was a great place with easy access to everything Kona has to offer and gorgeous views. Highly recommended.
5.0 / 5.0
The condo was beautifully decorated which instantly put you in a relaxed state. The sunsrises and sunsets from the lanai were magnificent. The inside stairs were unexpected and a bit difficult with the luggage but got use to them. The loft got hot and a bit uncomfortable, however we didn’t use the A/C. A minor disruption with the internet occurred during our stay but glad we were able to assist in fixing problems. Suggest informing guests that washer takes anywhere between 1-1.5 hours if using pre-programmed cycle with a secondary rinse cycle and dryer is a minimum of 70 minutes. All these issues are common on the island and did not have affect our opinion about the condo.
Overall the condo was a wonderful temporary home for us and we appreciate you allowing us to use it.

We really enjoyed staying at this place, very spacious and tastefully decorated, well-equipped with everything you'd need. Clean, quiet, great view, and great location from which to access all Kona adventures. Upon arrival, had a bit of trouble with the AC and wifi - but the owner was super-responsive and helpful, and we got it all sorted out and working in a short time. We appreciated her. The ocean front pool was not available as advertised, but through no fault of the owner; plus, two other nice pools in this elegant condo complex. This place is a Yes.

It's tough to beat this condo for location. It's in a well-maintained development of luxury units right on the ocean with beautiful landscaping, security, a couple pools, and far away from the cruise ship crowd. The unit itself has a spectacular view of the ocean from the unit's lanai, where we spent 90 percent of our time. Whale sitings, listening/watching the surf, and just relaxing. Although it could use a little modernizing, the unit is spacious and well decorated. Owners are super responsive to questions and concerns; lots of little signs about what to do/not to do abound. The only drawback is the inability to control the temperature inside. Hawaii gets hot and muggy, and though the ocean breeze is awesome, the inability to adjust the thermostat when you want to deploy the A/C is a concern. I understand the owners want to save electricity -- it's crazy expensive in Hawaii -- having to text the owners to override the pre-determined settings is awkward. But don't let that stop you from staying here. It's pretty close to perfect and a good value.

This unit was incredible. We have never stayed in a unit that was this well equipped with all the appliances, supplies and beach accessories necessary for our stay. Incredible views of the bay to watch sea life, surfers and the Manta Ray night dives and snorkel trips. Amenities on the grounds included a parking stall which was just in front which made loading and unloading a breeze, 3 swimming pools, BBQ facilities and recycle/garbage bins. The photos don’t do it justice. We will definitely tell all our friends about this place. A real GEM!
3.0 / 5.0
We were there for one month during which the tv did not work and was not"fixed" until the last week; the washing machine requires "babysitting" because it bounces all over . When I contacted the owner about some cleaning supplies, this was addressed immediately but other issues were not and there was no follow-up from the owner and for each issue, I felt like I had to complain, something that is not enjoyable on a holiday.
The main bathroom was like a sauna as it does not have a fan.
Apart from these issues -
The unit itself is nice and location and overall complex good.

The unit was lovely, and was perfect for our family. We enjoyed our stay. We have stayed at Kanaloa at Kona a few times before, and it never disappoints.

The main flooring has been recently upgraded to composite hardwood, and new carpet in bedrooms. A great improvement. Perhaps the bathrooms flooring next?

Location was great and check in/out very simple. We loved hearing and seeing the waves as well as watching water activities from the lanai. Condo has lots of space. Grounds and pools at this location very nice. Jenni was great to work with-very responsive to issues with air and tv. She was able to walk us through very simple fix for air immediately and sent someone to look at tv which was also quick fix ( think it was us😂)! Easy access from airport and good base for activities all over the island. We'll definitely stay here again for any future trips!

If this property is available, book it!
This location was PERFECT. Sitting right on a cove adjacent to Night Snorkel with Manarays. Beautiful to see the boats with guests snorkeling. Snorkel from the public access you walk to. Be careful- it's rocky but worth it. The condo itself was very well appointed for 2 couples and a 12 year old. The beds were firm which was not to our liking - but I'm sure may be to others. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella provided. Absolutely gorgeous lanai! The lanai is where we spent most of our time when not out exploring. The carpet is old but clean. There was a slight odor when we entered the condo but that can be attributed to the AC being off prior to our arrival to conserve energy. Saving energy and recycling is important when visiting an island environment. Condo cooled down quickly and odor was never noticed again. Honestly, this was a fantastic stay! Great communication with owner prior to arrival. No issues to contact owner about while we visited. You won't be disappointed.

Pack your bags immediately! This condo is heavenly!
We loved every minute at Jenny’s beautiful condo. In fact, we would love Pack your bags immediately! This condo is heavenly and we plan to go back sometime in 2023! The condo is roomy and clean as a whistle! It is located right over the ocean and the views are extraordinary. We stayed for 10 days and the condo contained every tool and feature we needed. There are two or three pools on the property. The pool, which overlooks the ocean, is magnificent. We rented a medium size car but when we went to pick it up, all they had were vans. The space that is assigned to Jenny’s condo is a bit small but it worked!

Best view in the complex
The place looks exactly like the pictures, but better. The small bay it overlooks is great for snorkeling. It's fully equipped for meal preparation, and also has toys like boogie boards. Would definitely recommend.

Great Value, Beautiful View
If you can overlook the cracked tiles, worn carpet and 1970's décor, you might just find that 3604 at Kanaloa is excellent value and the perfect location for your next visit to the Big Island. Very functional and spacious unit with a beautiful view. Everything works well and the unit is well equipped with all the essentials. It's not fancy but we will stay again for sure!

Thanksgiving Vacation!
We had a wonderful time at this property. The outside patio was amazing and it overlooked a cool little bay. We were able to do some snorkeling there and even caught a few waves. You could also see the boats come in for the Manta Rey tours at night in the distance. It was close to shopping, restaurants, beaches, etc. My wife raved about the large master bathroom and the property had lots of extras such as beach towels, a cooler, etc. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Location at Kanaloa
We love staying at the Kanaloa at Kona complex, and this is one of very best locations / units available. The views and proximity to Heeia Bay are spectacular. The condo was very comfortable and everything functioned well ... exactly as advertised. There are a few things that could use upgrades or a little TLC (like the carpet), but this is just cosmetic and in no way detracted from our stay. Jenni was a great host; very responsive and easy to deal with. We will be back!

Amazing location, views, and lots of space to relax.
Jenni's family's condo is great. There was plenty of room for my family (me, wife, 20,18,11 year old kids) to be able to relax. The view from the large lanai is fantastic. The place has everything you need to have a wonderful vacation. Jenni was quick to respond to any question we had. Would highly recommend staying here if you get the chance.

View was incredible
The condo was spacious and well-equipped with lots of chairs, beach toys, puzzles, books, and even leftover condiments and spices. The sound of the waves on the lanai was the best. Wish we had more control of the thermostat. Large shower in the master bath with dual shower heads and good water pressure was great. If you check-in after dark, the lock box is on the wall (can't see it in the dark).

Amazing location, condo, and amenities
I am so glad we found this place on VRBO! The layout of the condo was perfect for us to spread out and/or hang out while there. The view from the lanai includes the ocean, Heia Bay and surrounding landscape. It always provided simultaneously relaxing and interesting views - outriggers, waves, turtles and more. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed for cooking. The two bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs were very private and the loft provided additional space. In addition the site has three pools - kid pool, quiet pool, and one one with an ocean view and is located within walking distance to a little beach on Heia Bay.

Great stay overlooking Keauhou Bay
Excellent plate to stay. We’ve enjoyed several visits to the area and have stayed at the Kanaloa property a few times previously, and this was the nicest unit we have stayed in. Great view, tons of space, comfy furniture, good air conditioning, all the kitchen appliances you would want, beach gear, everything you need for a perfect vacation was available. Definitely will return if we get the opportunity.

We spent five weeks in Jenni's condo and couldn't have asked for anything nicer or a better owner to deal with.The views from the lanai, living room and dining room are truly spectacular as we were on a small bay with surfers, standup paddle boards, and canoes. A little further out, we could occasionally see whale's spouting and Spinner dolphins. We were also visited daily by Redbilled Cardinals, Saffron finches, and Java Temple birds.The accommodations suited us perfectly with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and a variety of beach toys to make our outings very enjoyable.For any problems that we encountered, the owner was immediately responsive and resolved any issue in a quick and helpful manner. We couldn't have asked for anything better. We WILL return!

Location! Location! Location!
My husband and I stayed at Jenni’s condo for 6 nights. The best part of this condo was the stunning view of of the bay and ocean from the lanai. We were mesmerized by the sound of the surf and as we watched the surfers, paddlers, boats and the lovely birds. The condo was homey, with a well stocked kitchen. We would definitely stay there again. Mahalo!

Wonderful!
This is a superb property and great for families. Lots of space and very well equipped. The location is fabulous - really interesting to watch activities in the bay, especially the Manta Ray dive at night. The amenities are wonderful - we loved having access to everything we needed for the beach. The owner is great to work with. Can't say enough good things about this property. Loved everything about it!

Great view
Very comfortable accommodations for a family of 5. Loved having the extra space in the loft. Nice having beach towels and boogie boards there to use. Stayed over Christmas and was hot all week. We needed to pay extra for the a/c this time of the year. Seems pretty normal for there to be a surcharge at all the places we looked at. It would have been too hot without so I suggest getting it.

3eme séjour chez Jenni, parfait!
3ème année successive dans ce condo, le petit déjeuner face à l’ocean est toujours aussi magique!
Jenni est une propriétaire très sympathique et toujours réactive à nos questions, merci!!!
