About this property

Kanaloa Kona on a gorgeous ocean beach!

Kanaloa at Kona is considered by many to be the nicest resort on the Kona Coast. It sits on an ancient Lava flow that juts out into the Ocean about 1/2 mile, thereby separating the resort from the noise and traffic of Alii Drive, with entrance through a quiet residential neighborhood. All the other resorts in town sit right on Alii Drive. The resort is beautifully manicured and is located on a quiet, peaceful 16 acres bounded by the Kona Country Club Golf Course on the north, the ocean on the west, serene He'eia Bay on the south,. Walking distance to all the activities of beautiful Keauhou Bay, and less than half a mile to the Keauhou Shopping Center with supermarket, drug store, urgent care, and many shops and restaurants. Due to the integrated design and low density of the property, it has the feel of "Old Hawaii", as opposed to condo or apartment blocks with a few palm trees spread around.

The resort is a gated community with three lovely pools, each with jacuzzi, shower, and changing rooms, two lighted tennis courts, six BBQ's, and a front desk with a very helpful concierge on duty to assist you. The Kanaloa at Kona oceanfront restaurant is again open for service, providing fine oceanfront dining in Keauhou at the water’s edge. There are enough world class beaches up and down the coast for you to explore a different one each day!

The condo was upgraded in 2015, and new carpet installed in 2018. The condo also has vaulted ceilings in every room giving it a very large open feel. There are three lanais in unit.

The spacious main lanai is oceanfront off of the living room and the two back lanais are off of the master bedroom and guest bedroom facing the mountains. We keep the condo stocked with snorkels, masks, fins, boogie boards, floaties, beach towels and a cooler so you're ready to start your vacation as soon as you check in!

You have several dining options. You can enjoy meals with seating for four at the glass table in the dining room or you can enjoy your meals oceanfront on the main lanai. You can also dine at the small table for two in the kitchen.

The spacious kitchen provides guests with all of the amenities and appliances to create gourmet meals right in the condo. Hawaiian Koa wood cabinets, tiled floors and granite countertops compliment this large, open kitchen with lots of cabinets for storage.

Nice place and location. Place is a little outdated and there was a lot of mosquitos in the main bathroom. Dishwasher was also a little dirty. Besides that it is good though!

A great place to relax

The condo was very comfortable and had very good air conditioning also. The neighborhood is very nice with 3 pools and tennis courts practically right outside your door. The space is designed nicely so you do not hear the people below or beside you. 3 lanais ensure you can get alone time or share dinner outside without leaving home. We had a great time!

Nice lanai for morning coffee

The view from the lanai was wonderful. The ocean side pool was gorgeous. Lots of space, laundry was nice, used beach chairs and coolers. Problems with appliances, the dishwasher, toilet and icemaker was mouldy. The place really needs a deep cleaning.

Wonderful condo by the sea!

We stayed for a week. We had breakfast every morning on the lanai while watching people fish, swim and, when the tide was high, just listening to the waves move over the rocks. We saw sunset every night from the deck of the ocean pool and the air conditioning was a real plus for us! Our family had a wonderful time. It’s located close to lots of fun things to do. We would definitely stay here again.

TIME TO RELAX

Having a place to stay that you end up calling home. Perfect. When you need to relax and get away from the daily chores and shovelling snow what a beautiful place to go. It takes a few days to get into a routine, but, then a new day started with a swim, touring the country side, coming home to a hot tub, and then relaxing with different view of sunsets. Wonderful, a must place to relax.

Week in paradise

Our family stayed at this lovely condo for 8 days in July/August and were impressed with the quality of furnishings, upkeep of the condo, and spectacular view. We paid for A/C and it kept the condo perfectly cool! The owner was also very responsive whenever we contacted him. If we ever come back, we would love to stay here again! Absolute paradise!

Best Vacation Condos in Kona

We have stayed at Kanaloa multiple times and find it to be one of the best vacation condos in Kona. Kanaloa is in a great location on the waterfront within walking distance of snorkel beaches, shops and restaurants. The units are roomy, clean, quiet and nicely furnished. Most of the units have central air conditioning which is a must in the summer months.

Great vacation

This place was wonderful. My kids loved going to one of the 3 pools in the neighborhood. There was plenty of snorkeling gear for all of us. The location was perfect, just a short drive from down town Kona. There’s a fairly large shopping center just a mile or so from the condo that has anything you could need as well. Kitchen is well stocked, plenty of beach towels and very comfy rooms.

Spacious Condo

The condo was spacious and we enjoyed morning coffee and ended the evening on the lanai listening to the sound of the water. The condo does get warm during the day, even with the AC, but cools down at night. We would stay here again as the property is gorgeous, with restaurants, grocery stores and shopping nearby. Another plus was the snorkeling gear, beach chairs and towels.

Perfect Vacation!

This condo is amazing! We had everything we needed and more! There was a slight issue with the air conditioning, but Rita had an electrician come out right away and it was fixed and VERY comfortable. Beds are also very comfortable. Location is perfect, away from the hustle of Alii street, but very close to everything. The bay is awesome, lanai perfect for morning coffee listening to the waves hit the shore. This was our very first time on the Big Island and we definitely will be back. We won’t think twice on renting this condo again.

Lots of stairs!

The unit is second floor, more stairs to living area and another set to 2nd bedroom. Our group was all over 65. 2nd bedroom wall is also open to living room below, so not much privacy. Appliances are old, stove did not work very well. The complex is nice, mostly quiet and great views. Really enjoyed the ocean pool and the condo lanai.

Love the view!

This condo was perfect for our 7 night stay. We love Kanaloa at Kona and this condo did not disappoint. It was surprisingly spacious and the photos do not do it justice. The view from the main lanai is fantastic, I could sit there watching the waves crash on the shore for days. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to cook our meals, even a rice maker! We loved the layout of this condo and the bedrooms were larger than expected with plenty of closet space. I would recommend to all. We also highly recommend the Sea Paradise snorkel trip out of Keauhou Bay, it's a smaller boat than the Fair Winds but much more comfortable and fun! Thank you Steve!

Nice location, place needs a little love

Nice location, but disappointed in stay as the unit is really old and tired. Chipping paint, stained carpets, old furniture and decor. Mismatched towels, bedding, dinnerware. Fire alarm didn’t work and basic essentials missing. Images on listing show queen in loft, but it was two twins. Says sleeps six, old mattress in closet. Had to wash sheets as they smelled like mildew. Responsive host.

We had to make a last minute change and find a new place on our first day on the island and this place was perfect. First of all, it has AC. That is / was extremely important as the island was very hot this week. Loved the area of the property. 3 pools with one overlooking the ocean we couldn’t have asked for more. Close to shopping, food, and the water, what more could you ask. Highly recommend this property. Great communication. Picture is taken from one of the lanais. The second pic is from the pool area.

We stayed here two weeks in July with our two grown sons. The condo is spacious and comfortable and has a wonderful view throughout the day. We loved the resort and enjoyed all three pools, especially the ocean pool at the end of the day to watch the sunset. We would stay here again. I also enjoyed having multiple grills stationed throughout the resort so I never had to wait when I was ready to cook dinner.

Couldn't have asked for more..

What a great place this is. The location is so amazing. Sitting out on the Lanai each morning and watching the waves crashing on the shore and the little birds singing their songs is the only way to start each day. The inside is very nice and so well equipped with all the little things you need. Everything was very clean and looked after. The only thing I didn't notice in the description is just the one TV in the living room, but no matter it is such a great place and I will definitely be coming back!!
