Beautiful location with a great view of the ocean. Loved hearing the waves crashing on the rocks from the Lanai. Three pools gave us options, but we loved hanging at the ocean pool each night to watch the sunset. The property manager/owner was quick to respond to questions. There is a grocery And drug store close by. Convenient location to snorkeling, shopping and easy access to the highway to head North or South. There are beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers at the condo, so you don't have to rent them or get them from your vehicle rental company. Would recommend and stay again!

Family of five adults and we had plenty of room to spread out - very spacious property. Kitchen well stocked and plenty of toilet paper, towels, beach gear etc. We really enjoyed the covered patio!

Only complaint is that this unit is extremely out dated. We had a problem with the ac but we weren’t there too long just to sleep and they had plenty of fans. The host was so very kind and responded quickly.

The condo was a great match for our family vacation. It was located at the oceanfront with a market close by. We enjoyed the ocean pool and the condo was very spacious and loved the additional loft for the kids . Denise had all of the beach accessories and coolers .
Would definitely recommend and stay there again .

Fantastic location, so easy to check in and out, responsive staff. In addition to lots to do nearby, the restaurants, farmer’s market and grocery are a quick walk. The unit itself is a bit more dated than we expected or it would be five stars all around. However, the dates nature of it brings some really cool elements that I hope y’all keep. All that mid century wood cabinetry and design is so cool. I wish I’d taken pictures of it. The loft was really great for my two kids and they accommodated the change from king to two singles. Really liked the localized AC control.
4.7
This is definitely the easiest 5 star rating I’ve ever given - I wish I could do 6! The co-owner, Denise, was beyond helpful and accommodating. Every question I asked was answered quickly and with so much detail and insight that I had zero doubts about my itinerary. This included everything from ‘which beaches are good to introduce my kids to the ocean’, to snorkel tours and how to get around the resort. It was above and beyond anything I expected!
The property is exactly like the posting. Some reviews have commented on it being dated so I want to address that (if you’re worried). It’s exactly like the pictures - no surprises. Personally I don’t care what the cabinets look like if they function, it’s clean and I have what I need. ! I’m not in Hawaii for a kitchen. It was also well stocked with anything you might need on top of the typical towels and cooking equipment, she had the every day items you don’t think about, like scissors and paper. I even found myself randomly needing a pencil sharpener and one was right in the drawer! My 14 year old son is also adamant that I mention “they had good TP. Make sure you say that!” So, if you want a place with two ply paper that is actually soft, this is the spot for you!
So, onto the VIEW: it’s stunning. There’s no filter on the listing photos. It really does look just like that! I sat on the lanai every morning and every evening just watching the water and listening to the waves.
We would 1000% stay here again. TY Denise!

We are a family of six and really enjoyed our stay here. The view of the ocean from the condo was great. The property was nice too and had three pools for the kids to use. The condo itself was filled with everything we needed during the stay. There is a grocery store and a ton of restaurants right up the street. The property itself and the things in it are really, really outdated. So, if you were picturing a more luxurious stay, this is not the place for you. I'm not sure I could even recommend this place to my friends because of that, but we did have a great time. Denise was a great host.

Kanaloa is our go to getaway. This unit was perfect!! Mahalo!!
4.7
Condo unit was large 3 BR full service kitchen and 2 1/2 Baths. Nice lanai with beautiful full views of the ocean. Only a few minor notes. No exhaust fans in the bathrooms and décor is a little dated. Host was very attentive to our needs and the place was clean. Many amenities for the beach. Place has 2 pools and jacuzzi and easy parking right in front of the unit. Front desk and security were very friendly. Location close to shopping, golf and beach. Great place just a few cosmetic changes would make this 5 star.
Had a great time!!

We enjoyed whale-watching on the lanai every morning with our coffee. Condo was plenty big enough for all three couples, and in a great location just down from a grocery store and restaurants. Our only suggestion would be to do a deep clean (ceiling fans/vents etc) and invest in some non-stick pans.
4.7
This condo was a perfect vacation home for our family. The 3 bedrooms easily accommodated 6 adults. The kitchen is large and fully stocked. The condo has a great ocean view from the lanai, living room & kitchen. We enjoyed watching humpback whales cavorting & breaching from the lanai. The complex features 3 pools: we especially enjoyed the "Ocean Pool." The complex is well away from downtown Kailua, and we enjoyed the quiet. The nearby Keauhou Shopping Center has several excellent restaurants and a large market that sold fresh poke daily.
4.7
We loved this condo..whales were present every day off the lanai..the location is perfect.away from the crazy Kona traffic with a grocery store nearby.
The condo is very spacious if a bit outdated but who cares. The stove and dryer could use a change out but who cares..they worked. Denise was great at communicating..checking in was easy, checking out was oh so hard,😫
4.7
I loved the area. The unit has a view, but it's blocked partially. The entryway is difficult to go up 12 stairs. The unit needs to be remodeled top to bottom.

This is an amazing condo in a wonderful resort. the condo has perfect sunset views and is is very close to all 3 pools in the resort. we were there in late Dec and it was not very busy. the unit is on the second floor and had enough room for everyone to spread out. they provide beach towels and chairs, boogie boards, and binoculars that we took advantage of. There is a gate by the ocean pool that leads out to the lava cliffs. it was fantastic to take the beach chairs out there in the morning and at sunset. the kitchen has a ton of supplies. The location is perfect to get to area stores, groceries, restaurants, other beaches and bays. The owner was super responsive through text. We would love to stay there again.

This unit was beautiful. It was spacious and very well-stocked with everything we needed. There were even puzzles and many lovely and interesting books to read!
Upon entering the flight of stairs was almost daunting but wasn’t a problem. Once at the top we were pleased to see how pretty our view was. The sunsets were awesome and photos turned out amazingly gorgeous, complete with palm trees and waves. Simply splendid.
Our family of six had well-enough space to sleep and relax in comfort. We are thoroughly spoiled going forward with family get-aways! Our thanksgiving weekend was wonderful as we shared our dinners with other families who stayed in other units nearby.
There were a couple of details to point out though. And only to serve as a mere side note for the owners of this incredible property. There were a few baking pans and a pot that were greasy. Not baked on food or anything; but, the grease was thick and pretty unsightly. We were sure to hand wash each utensil and dish before using anything.
One more detail to point out was that the floor was quite dirty which turned the soles of our feet black. We ended up mopping the walkways and wearing our house slippers.
All in all, we are very thankful and happy we were able to have our family staycation at this wonderful property! Five stars for sure!
Thank you!

This accommodation. Is very well located, spacious, quiet and has a great view! The owners were very helpful and very quick to answer any questions. I definitely recommend it!

This was the best trip of my life and having a beautiful, comfortable, clean place to call home for 4 nights with awesome pools one with the best view of the sunset each night and free parking made it even better. The kitchen was great, they even left us coffee! I love that they had a free washer in the unit as well. The location was great and easy to get to all our tours and drive to all the sites we wanted to visit while on the big island. Thank you for the guest book with all the tips especially on where to snorkel and for providing chair and snorkel gear. It was so cool to swim / snorkel with sea turtles. And I highly suggest the Manta Ray night snorkel tour with Manta Adventures to anyone!
Mahalo!

I have stayed at six different locations on the dry side of the big island of Hawaii. This place has a lot of space, but very steep staircase when you come in. Not for the person with arthritic issues but my family is younger and did well. I would say the biggest issue I had was the temperature when we arrive was over 86°. I think I communicated well with the owner about the fact that the air conditioning should be turned on prior to arrival as given the size of the place being so large, and the fact that it has high vaulted ceilings, but it takes quite a long time to cool down. The location is close to a very nice shopping center and it’s halfway between the airport and Captain Cook snorkeling area. It’s about one hour from the Southpoint maybe an hour and 20 with gasoline. Overall, we had a great stay. It’s very spacious and does have a dryer and washer in the unit but the dryer does take a long time to dry. Overall happy about our stay. Has all the supplies you can imagine including towels, coolers beach, chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear. The gated facility is nice. The parking is ideally close to the front door. FYI the view you cannot see the sunset directly from your lanai. You have to go to the sunset or ocean pool in order to see the sunset or walk out straight ahead to the palm trees. You can see the water every morning from your lanai. The size is ideal for a family of 6. We had plenty of space. They had a nice games available at the house to play.

This was a great spot for our family adventures. Nearby beach to snorkel and a beautiful spot to watch the sunset every night a short walk away!
4.7
Great amenities-pool, walking path, tennis, ping pong and the location is central to all these things as well as a grocery store right up the road.
Just FYI, owner keeps the air off before arrival and we arrived late in the day so ladies, it was hot for sleeping IYKYK. Plan ahead. Haha.

The Kanaloa condos' location is great, and the actual condo is steps from the gated entrance. The unit has a full ocean view, but it's set back a little so side buildings limit the view somewhat. Check in was easy, the condo was spotlessly clean, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was exceptionally well-stocked with dishes, pots and pans, etc.
We found 4 camping chairs, but only 1 Tommy Bahama-style low beach chair and 1 other low-to-the-ground uncomfortable beach chair. We didn't use the boogie boards, but they appeared to be fairly new. Be sure to note the policy of providing only 1 bath towel per guest. Also, note the description that mentions there are stairs (and the chair lift wasn't . It was great to have a washer/dryer in the unit, but the dryer takes forever to dry anything.
Overall, it's a good property, but could use some updating.

We loved it. They had everything you need, just pack your bag! Snorkels and boogie boards, beach umbrella, beach towels and chairs. Washer and dryer were very convenient. Every cooking appliances you would ever need. Loved the view from the ocean pool. Great sunsets. Quiet , beautiful view from the lanai. Loved eating breakfast out there.
Thanks for sharing your nice place.

This property was exactly as advertised. It was cleaned and well stocked with kitchen ware, linens, bath and beach towels. The view was amazing as well as the property amenities. The location is close enough to the main area of Kona but private and away from the constant tourist movement. We absolutely loved it and hope to return!
4.7
We had an amazing time at Kanaloa and the Solitude property. The owner had a great book with tips for favorite beaches, restaurants and adventures on the Big Island, and we loved all the beach gear that was provided. The beds were comfortable and the entire place was clean and well designed. We will be back!
4.7
We enjoyed our stay at Solitude! The kitchen is well supplied with every gadget you could possibly need. We were pleased to find an electric kettle. If I have a need for a three bedroom accommodation again, I’d definitely choose this property. Mahalo

We had a great time staying here. The view from the lanai was so beautiful and peaceful; every night was a great sunset. Our teenage daughter especially loved having her own space upstairs!
Some of our scheduled activities had to be cancelled because of the unusual weather and high surf, and being able to sit by the pools and including one where we could look at the ocean, was a great way to spend our time instead.
This was a great location for me and my husband and daughter to use as a home base to go snorkeling and exploring and provided a space for my parents (in their late-80s) to relax. On days we weren't exploring the area together (so much to see and do!) we were able to spend the evenings enjoying the beautiful view while having dinner and playing games together. A wonderful way and place to spend Chrismas!

Property was exactly as advertised. Ocean view from the balcony was incredible and the pools (especially the ocean view pool) were nice/beautiful as well. Denise the owner was a great communicator and was very gratuitous in modifying our reservations due to the covid cancellation of 2021 Ironman. I highly recommend this property.

Our family felt secure and spaced out in this condo. View was gorgeous - we enjoyed sitting on deck, with fan going, enjoying the ocean view. Neighborhood was great, pools and tennis courts were in great shape. Close to all we wanted to do in Kona. Ease of getting in and out with the key code was great. Kitchen was EXTREMELY well stocked.
4.7
We loved our stay at Solitude. The unit is a bit dated, but very clean and had all sorts of amenities that made our visit comfortable and easy. We appreciated the kitchen stocked with every dish and appliance we needed, nice coolers, the amenities of the compound (pools/grills/tennis courts), the provided soaps/shampoos/tissues/spices/books/games/playing cards, and the spaciousness of the place. The lanai made it even better - a great, private place to sit with coffee or wine and look out over the water.
4.7
