Fully Renovated 1BR/2BA Oceanfront Condo on He'eia Bay - Great Rates year round!
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%.

Property was as advertised, very nice location. Property was in a quiet area away from town but an easy drive. Spacious layout and having 2 bathrooms was very convenient. We would recommend staying here!
Condo & property are exactly as described, photos are spot on. Jim & Debbie were gracious hosts. We've stayed in Kona several times, this is our first time at Kanaloa and their unit, we'll definitely stay here again! Condo is nice and large for a one bedroom. Love the three pools, grounds and the views!
My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful week stay. Very nice, well furnished condo unit layout for two, conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood south of Kailua-Kona near Keauhou Bay with access to snorkel and other tour boats. We also took advantage in walking to the small cove (He'eia) literally next door to snorkel without the crowds (had the cove to ourseleves) and which also provides a nice view from the living room area. Very pleasent stay ... highly recommened for a Kona getaway for two.
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was nicely remodeled and had very nice furnishings. We loved the art work in the condo. It was very spacious and comfortable, and we appreciated that anything we could possibly need to enjoy our stay in Hawaii was provided (sand chairs, beach towels, a boogie board, and more). We would definitely love to return to this property when we come to Hawaii again!
Wonderful well-equipped condo, could use ac but other than that it was great!

Thanks for the review, and we're glad you had a great time. We understand about AC, but we made an intentional decision to forego installing it. Here's what we say about it in the listing:

We had a wonderful stay at the property. All of the little details seem to have been thought of by the owners. Plenty of space for our family of 4. Lots of beach equipment provided, fins, snorkels, umbrellas, mats, perfect for enjoying the island. This was our first trip to the big island, but when we return, this will be the place we reserve again. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!
Beautiful unit in a really pretty complex. Enjoyed eating breakfast outside on the lanai each morning. Lots of amenities to cover all the different types of activities we did in the area during our stay.
Pleasant stay at this condo near Heeia Bay. Lush tropical surroundings, stocked with everything we needed, comfortable bed, and everything you need for the beach.
Enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo. Nicely decorated with well equiped kitchen and loads of snorkel and beach equipment. Clean, well kept, we had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay.
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.
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.
Workers are very helpful and Kind -

About the host
Hosted by Jim and Debbie Spilman
We've been visiting Hawai'i since 2000,and fell in love with the Kona Coast - the snorkeling, the coffee, the sunsets and the near-infinite activity choices all within a few miles!
Why they chose this property
It seems like we looked at dozens of condos, from Keauhou Bay to downtown Kailua Kona. Kanaloa at Kona 3402 was one of the first we saw, and became our benchmark. Spacious and comfortable, Nice ocean view from the lanai; steps to the clubhouse pool and tennis courts, and just a short 2 minute walk to the oceanfront pool. Away from the bustle of Kailua Village, but close enough to be convenient for restaurants and nightlife.
One of our favorite things about the condo may seem to be counterintuitive, but we really like the fact that the unit has avoided the sterile "upgrades" that many other Kanaloa condos have had done - we really like the vintage charm and family vacation home feel of the place. While we have done numerous improvements in the last few years (carpet, new appliances, painting, new lamps, bedding, etc) we try to keep the unit fresh without diminishing the "homey" warmth that we and many of our guests love.
What makes this property unique
We think this is one of the best values in Kona - a roomy, comfortable condo, great view, quiet, well-kept complex with all the amenities, and minutes from any number of great beaches, snorkeling spots, restaurants and all kinds of island activities! xx
