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.
5.0 / 5.0
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 have been many times before but in a different unit. Would have returned next year but was not available for our timeframe

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.

Amazing place to stay.

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!!)

The condo unit was awesome, with décor that was obviously chosen with love and care. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was very well stocked, and everything was clean. We stayed for 9 days, but wished that we had time to stay much longer.

We came over to Kona to support my best friend compete in the world iron man championship. The accomodation was just what we needed as a base and chill out zone. The location is amazing and having the three pools on the property was epic! A great sized kitchen we could have stayed for weeks! Having a whole beach fun cupboard full of toys and was perfect for a beach day. I give this accommodation a 10/10!!! And we will be back again :)

Spacious and Hawaiian decor throughout. Absolutely loved the flooring, area rugs in bedroom, kitchen cabinets, and artwork. All three swimming pools and hot tubs maintained, loved the quiet pool the most. Loved our lanai view of the bay and all the natural greenery. Price was excellent. Will return ASAP!!!!

We love this condo and how close it is to shopping and beaches.
5.0 / 5.0
We absolutely loved Kanaola! The condo was ample, and our host provided everything we could possibly need and more. We loved watching sunsets from the pool, snorkeling nearby, swimming with Manta Rays, and fishing off the volcanic rocks. My son even managed to land both a grouper and a bluefin trevally! Lovely space to rest and relax. We did struggle a bit initially with the lack of air conditioning, but were able to adjust as we became more accustomed to the heat. We will 100% stay here again... and again and again!

We loved this area! Perfect view and the sound of the waves at night is a plus .
Very close to local beaches and convenient local markets . Shopping center is opened at decent hours.

We liked the location near the bay with its lush vegetation. Our condo was well equipped with beach chairs, snorkel gear, beach towels, cooking utensils and everything we needed. We liked the feel of Hawaii provided by the Retro Hawaiian prints. Would love to return.

Had a wonderful and relaxing stay in a most beautiful setting. The complex in which our rented condo was in went beyond all expectations. Manicured grounds, multiple pools, hot tubs BBQs, friendly staff (loved Kenny), quiet except for the pounding of the waves. Many hours spent on lanai and at Ocean Pool. The condo itself had everything you could ask for including extra snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach mats and even water shoes. Unit was quite large for a 1 bedroom, lots of room, good sized kitchen and all of the required utensils, pots and pans etc to make those great meals. Wonderful view from the lanai of the bay and hillside. Had a few four legged guests come and say hello intermittently during evening lanai time so best to keep the screen door shut. Bed was very comfortable, no AC but more than enough fans had us sleeping like babies. If you are expecting the Ritz, stay at the Ritz. If you want something that is affordable, comfortable and centrally located in a beautiful setting, then 3402 is for you.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo had everything we needed; the kitchen was well-supplied as were the linens and washer/dryer. It was decorated with interesting Hawaiian framed posters and art. We were very comfortable in this gorgeous setting. Thank you so much.
5.0 / 5.0
Great location with views of the bay and short walk to Ocean views. Grounds were well kept and pool areas were well maintained. The unit was well maintained, with the furnishings/fixtures being somewhat dated, but all in all a great value for the price. We would definitely stay here again.

Spacious/large one bedroom unit includes two bathrooms and that’s what we prefer. Close to the pools, bay view, well-equipped.

Best part of my stay here was sitting on the balcony, hearing the water crash on the rocks and the birds singing.
1.0 / 5.0
As others have stated - this unit is in dire need of a thorough professional cleaning. Multiple issues which the owner has agreed to address. Right now it is not suitable for anyone with health concerns. The complex itself - Kanaloa at Kona - is beautiful, well kept, great pools. Noisy right now as there is considerable construction and repairs taking place.

we had a really good stay in this condo. The location was great! The view was awesome! The only thing we had problem with was the Britta water filter was expired. We contacted the property manager for it. But I later learned that the filter was out of stock in the groceries.

Best value in the Kona area
My husband and I stayed here for about two weeks, and this was our second stay at this property. I have found this unit to be the best value in the Kona area. We love staying at the Kanaloa, but most units start at $250 per night, and with taxes, cleaning fees, administrative fees, those rate quickly go up. Because this unit is a bit older (hasn’t been fully upgraded, but everything is functional and comfortable) and there is no AC, it is much more affordable to stay in. This time around we found that a few upgrades had been made since our stay in 2018-the blinds were cleaned/replaced and there were plenty of fans that made the unit comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and the complex is beautiful. We hope to visit again in the future. Thanks for sharing your Hawaiian home with us!

Good base for exploring Kona and points south
Location is great, nice secure complex and within an easy walk to catch a free shuttle to great snorkeling and downtown Kona-Kailua.
The unit itself has a great view on a tiny little bay, the opening pic is exactly what you see from the back lanai. It isn’t the best kept unit, maintenance wise, but it is kept that way to keep the cost down and the owner is upfront about this.
Our only issue stemmed from this deferred maintenance however, as the dishwasher went out about halfway through the stay. When I went to email the property manager, I found they had already emailed me about the dishwasher being replaced during the morning of our last day. So, there wasn’t much point in having it fixed and we were stuck with hand washing dishes the rest of the week. I felt at best we should have had a small refund for our trouble and at worst an apology for our inconvenience, however it was disappointing to receive neither.

Location, location, location!
The Kanaloa Townhouse complex is oceanfront - with part of it situated on He'eia
Bay. There is a peek-a-boo view of the water from the living room, and I had coffee on the deck each morning, serenaded by the sound of crashing waves.
The complex is a quick drive to a shopping center, where you'll find groceries and sundries. The biggest plus is that it is just a bit south of Kona, so out of the tourist area, and a convenient jumping off point to see the rest of the island, especially for hiking in the southern volcanic areas.
The complex is beautifully landscaped and there are three beautiful pools, plus a snorkeling area about a five minute walk away. This is by far the best neighborhood in the area.
The owner of the condo have created an equipment closet, generously filled to the brim with anything you might need to enjoy the beach: snorkel gear, find, boogie-boards, beach shoes, beach umbrella, and even a small cooler for picnics. It was a wonderful surprise and we made good use of it.
Loads of beach towels were also available, and between our multiple daily trips to the pool and beach time, we were well supplied with dry towels this way.
The condo decor and interior is vintage-1980s, but comfortable - with the exception of the sofa :)
We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen had everything we needed.
It was just the two of us, and we were there for a whole month, so we really felt at home by the time we left.
We had a great time during our stay at 3402, and would return in a heartbeat.

Great location, loved 3 pools, very peaceful!
Great communication and directions to property, older lock box for key was difficult to get into late first night (would have preferred just a code and no key), larger than expected, dated as expected, would have paid more for AC if the unit had that option, but we kept 4 fans going. Well stocked dishes- comfortable place to spend our Kona holiday!
