Our stay at Kahalu'u Bay was as amazing as I hoped it to be. The condo itself was spacious and well appointed. The showers were hot and loved the open plan (no doors or curtains). The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. The living room couch was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is modern and well appointed. And the elevator was essential for our Mom who has trouble with stairs. But for the most part, we rented this because of the lanai overlooking Kahalu'u. Every moment we weren't touring or snorkeling we were on the lanai: coffee in the morning, afternoon naps, drinks at night, sunsets. We enjoyed watching the snorkelers and the surf lessons from our nigh perch. There is a gas-grill on the lanai and a dining set so you never have to cook inside. You can walk across the street to Kahalu'u. Kona Coast Vacations were available any time we called with questions and were very responsive.

Aloha, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your recent stay with us at Kahaluu Alii. We’re glad the condo’s layout, comfortable beds, hot showers, and AC worked well for you, and that the elevator made things easier for your mom. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the lanai for coffee, naps, and sunsets, and that the kitchen, gas grill, and proximity to Kahalu'u Bay added to your stay. Thank you for noting our responsiveness — we enjoyed hosting you. Mahalo, Kona Coast Vacations

My wife and I visited the Big Island as part of our 30th wedding anniversary and we thoroughly enjoyed our home for our stay on the Big Island. This location offered everything we needed and was conveniently located to both grocery stores and restaurants. If we ever make it back to the area, we will definitely be looking to stay here again!

Out favoutrite was the lanai..we lived watching sunsets from here, eating together and just spending time playing games in the afternoons. Overall a great stay! Will definitely come back!

The penthouse is the entire top floor, with an elevator, and outdoor shower for rinsing snorkel-scuba gear. Early morning views and sunset views of Kahaluu Beach from the very large lanai were the best. Penthouse has everything. Definitely will stay here again.

Great location, with a beautiful view. My husband and I stayed here for 11 nights and we really enjoyed our stay. The lanai was perfect, we sat out there every night we could to watch the sunset. One of the a/c’s stopped working while we were there, I contacted the host and the a/c was replaced by the next morning. We were impressed by the quick response and how they handled the situation. The location is just far enough away from downtown Kona that you don’t get the road noise and heavy traffic, but still convenient to shops and other activities. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

My wife and I enjoyed this unit so much. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed to cook. The location can’t be beat as you have a gorgeous view of the ocean and can watch the surfers all day. The deck facing the ocean is large and it’s a 2 minute walk across the way to sit at the beach or snorkel. We recommend this unit as an excellent location.

Location of rental is in an ideal spot. It's away from the main hub (Kailua-Kona) but still easily accessible for an evening out to explore/experience the many fine dining options around. And you can't forget that it's right across from Kahalu'u Beach, a popular spot for learning to surf and snorkel (observed it was popular with the families). Favorite part of the penthouse was the lanai; we enjoyed having such a spacious area for card playing, dinner and watching the sunset after a full day of exploration of the Big Island. -Mahalo

10x better than a hotel.

This place was a great find! You can just walk across the street to snorkel or surf. A supermarket and some restaurants are 2-3 minute drive. No loud music or drunken people hollering at night to worry about. You can sit at the spacious lanai and enjoy the amazing sunset. Inside is very spacious. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean. Plenty of ceiling fans and air conditioners to keep you comfortable. The complimentary supplies were more than enough for my party of 2 that stayed for 5 days. The handy elevator was a plus. If I ever return to Big Island, I will be looking to rent this place again. Highly recommended.

Beautiful View & Quick access to beach/snorkel and surfing school

Spacious and well equipped this location was great. There are a few things that needed some repairs and they promptly replaced a broken washing machine. We were contacted the day after we arrive to make sure everything was OK and it wasn’t until day three that we realize some of the things that were needing a little TLC, such as one nonworking ceiling fan out of 8 others that were working. Internet, beach towels, and TVs were available along with a few puzzles. BBQ worked well. There’s even a small elevator to help you get to the penthouse!
