This fabulous condo occupies the prime location at Kanaloa at Kona, an ancient, historic Royal Hawaiian site. You are truly ocean front with unobstructed views and sounds (not set back between buildings). From the lanai, see the breakers and the open ocean. Situated on He'eia Bay at the entrance to Keauhou Bay, this condo's lanai is also front row to surfers, outriggers. boaters, snorklers, scuba divers, the mountain, the golf course and the Royal Hawaiian Slide.
All rooms have water views. The living room and large private lanai have expansive, water front views of both the ocean and He'eia Bay. The bedrooms face the Bay. At night, scuba divers visit giant mantas off the point fronting the condo. See the mountain and the Royal Hawaiian Slide which centuries ago served as a venue for competitive native sledding from the top of the mountain into He'eia Bay. The Royal path to the City of Refuge passes directly below the lanai.
The Master BR has a California King size bed, a large walk-in closet, huge bathroom, make-up room and a small office for Wi-Fi (bring your laptop). A second bedroom has two extra long twin beds and a large walk-in closet. Adjacent is the second bath with a two vanity sink and shower/bath. The bedrooms & bathrooms are equipped with sheets, down-filled pillows, linens and towels. A large loft contains two regular size twins.
Over 1700 sq ft of living space, located on the second floor with vaulted, natural wood ceilings throughout. The home is newly painted, tastefully decorated and features rare giant bamboo furniture. The dining room furniture is native hardwood, wicker and glass.
The kitchen is fully equipped with every appliance. On the Lanai, there is a round glass table, 4 comfortable chairs, bar and fridge where you will do most of your dining, entertaining and relaxing. There is also a chaise lounge on the Lanai for reading and snoozing.
The home is fully air-conditioned (central air), necessary when the weather is warm and humid. But, usually we rely on ocean front breezes and ceiling fans to keep us cool and comfortable.
There are lighted tennis courts, three swimming pools (one for adults only) and barbecue grills on 16 beautifully landscaped acres. The resort is a gated community with full time security personnel at its entrance.
The Kanaloa Grill and Bar an ocean front restaurant situated on the premises offers a wonderful breakfast and lunch. They plan to soon offer a full dinner menu.
Some of the best snorkeling in the area is in Hee'ia Bay right in front of the condo (watch your family snorkel from the lanai) where there are turtles and fish galore; and, when the surf is up you will have the finest waves for surfing.
Within a short walk is the adjacent, active harbor at Keauhou Bay from which sport fishing, snorkeling and scuba diving excursion boats to the City of Refuge, Kealakekua Bay and Cook's Monument, come and go. These destinations remain sacred places to the native Hawaiians and are harbors par excelence, teeming with healthy coral and fish. Kealakakua Bay is known for its spinner dolphins and humpback whales, a great place to kyack.
On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, you may join the rowing club at Keauhou Bay for a workout on the ocean in an outrigger canoe. Departures at 6:30 AM & 8:00 AM. Last we heard, they added a 9:00 AM departure. This is a private club but very friendly and,will offer you a paddle and a seat on board their double hull canoe.
Kyack adventures also originate from Keauhou Bay. Or, you might decide to snorkel at Kahalu'u Beach (some say the best snorkel beach in the Hawaiian Islands) or surf or boogie board at White Sands Beach, both close by with lifeguards.
The clubhouse for the Kona Country Club is two minutes away with two world-class golf courses, a mountain course and an ocean course open to the public at reasonable rates at a discount to guests staying at Kanaloa. Fairways for the Ocean Course are adjacent to the property. There are many other wonderful golf courses in the area.
There are also trips to the Waimea Waipi'o Valley in the north for hiking and horseback riding; hiking and viewing the active KILAUEA VOLCANO in the south; and, stargazing on MAUNA KEA, one of the highest mountains in the world and home of the world's finest and most coveted telescopes.
