We loved our stay at Kanaloa at Kona! The condo was fabulous - very comfortable & well equipped. And the grounds were beautifully maintained and gorgeous! One of the best VRBO rentals we’ve ever had!
We really enjoyed this property. It was quiet and comfortable and the location was ideal for us. We could walk to the shopping center and also over to the Sheraton. Plenty of places to watch the ocean and the waves. We would definitely stay here again!
This place was great, it was a short drive from all the restaurants, shopping and some beaches…but what we enjoyed the most was its quiet, tranquility. We woke up each morning hearing the birds chirping, palm trees ruffing and waves crashing in the background. The condo is spacious and had everything we needed for our stay.
Wonderful stay! There were a few issues at check-in. However, the management company was quick to respond & resolve the issues. I would definitely stay here again & highly recommend this as a beautiful stay for anyone looking for a peaceful, quiet getaway.
We had a great time with our family of four. The grounds were great with 3 pools and tennis courts. There was a shopping center close by for groceries and take out. The condo was plenty spacious for us and had everything we needed. It was a great location for all the activities we did (snorkeling, beaches, hikes) the volcano is 2.5-3 hours away so would recommend staying overnight there if you go. (Well worth it!)
Very nice property. Clean and well kept. The loft room was very nice and served as a master. The room on the main floor was also very nice, but did not have a dresser or place to store clothes etc. However, both rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. Lots of stairs that may be difficult for people with mobility issues. We very much enjoyed our stay here!
Loved this condo. It was clean and spacious. My only feedback is that we were not aware the second bedroom upstairs is a loft with an open wall. This led to some sleep disruption. Other than that this was a well equipped condo in peaceful location. Mahalo for a great visit.
The unit was spacious but many steps to carry up luggage. Unit had some minor issues but overall comfortable. You need a car and not much is in walking distance.
Kona Coast Vacation (KCV) rentals was exceptional with the pre-trip communication. The condo was as advertised and was nicely stocked with all that was needed for a relaxing vacation. The microwave was broken when we arrived on Christmas Eve and the KCV office was closed on Christmas day, but I called them the next day and they had a new one installed immediately. The property was nice and secluded and the "ocean pool" was a great way to spend the day. The unit is a little dated, but nothing out of the ordinary for a property in Hawaii.
Kanaloa Unit 405 was clean, but not welcoming. We have stayed Kanaloa many times in the past and all units have provided water sports gear to borrow and condiments in the kitchen. Some have even provided a "welcome basket." None of this was available in Unit 405, not even salt and pepper.
The bed was so hard in the lower bedroom, we had to lay out six pillows on the mattress in order to sleep. The cable didn't work in the lower bedroom (no box). One of the table lamps in the living room didn't function along with both toasters.. The replacement toaster that was brought in burned the toast on one side. The overall lighting was inadequate, especially for reading.
We would definitely not stay in unit 405 again.
Aloha Gary,
Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review on your stay!
We don't provide nor advertise that we provide beach gear. Most times beach chairs, coolers and other items come and go at rental properties. Some items end up damaged and/or rusty in our moist salt air climate and are not replaced. Rather than disappointing you and your family by providing substandard, broken, worn items or in some cases none, we recommend that guests rent any desired items.
Providing a welcome basket, spices, coffee, etc. vary per management company, and these are not items we stock in our condo units. We don't leave any condiments purchased by previous guests either because we can't guarantee those items are in a condition to be used by other renters, especially in light of covid, its best to dispose of any and all used cooking items.
Some guests prefer a plush mattress and others prefer firm so we purchase medium-firm mattresses to meet those comfort preferences in the middle.
Based on your review, we are going to send maintenance to assess the lamp and replace it if needed. Happy to hear that we delivered a new toaster right away! Perhaps the settings were too high which led to the burned toast.
Thanks again for reviewing your stay and choosing to stay with us.
Mahalo,

The condo is perfect.. The situation too..
Very clean... Very quiet... All is perfect.
The communication with the owner is very good.
W'll come back with pleasure but.... Unfortunately is far away from France!!!
Mahalo.... " À bientôt"
Process for renting, arrival and stay was good, slight issue with bedroom air con units was dealt with quickly. Everything I needed in the property, loads of space and resort was nice.
The AC in the 2 bedrooms were blowing hot air when we arrived. Called to have it fixed and it took until the next day to be fixed. The loft setup doesn't offer any privacy for that bedroom, there is a bedroom door but you still have a large opening down to the living room. The toaster could only use one side, as the other side would trip the circuit The one pool was across the street from the unit. The unit was clean and a nice place to stay otherwise.
We had a wonderful stay. The property was very clean and provided everything we needed. Great ocean views from the bedroom lanai’s! The ocean pool on the property was a highlight for our family!
All good points: fast wifi, large rooms, high ceilings, three lanais, three pools in the compound, two tennis courts in the compound, three BBQ grills to use, dining area with ocean and sunset view at pool number three, absolutely spotless, A/C in perfect condition, so many kitchen amenities, so much room! I absolutely loved my stay and would 100% come back anytime!
This condo exceeded our expectations. We were more interested in having a quiet, comfortable place to come home to after having day time adventures and this was exactly what we needed. The condo itself was very comfy and had 3 lanais. The grounds were beautiful with 3 different pools to choose from to hang out at after a day of hiking, snorkeling and exploring. It is situated a bit south of Kona-Kailua, which makes it less touristy, but close enough to get to restaurants and markets. Would definitely return to this condo community again.
Took a quick trip to Kona from our home in Maui and wow! This was an amazing rental. The condo felt spacious for our little family with 3 lanais, close to the pools, thoughtful details within the condo. It was quiet and welcoming. Everything we could have hoped for from a short family vacation. If there is any critique it would be that the curtains in the bedroom were so sheer that it was difficult to put our toddler to nap or sleep in. Darken curtains would be an awesome addition. Other than that—what an incredible space. Can’t recommend it enough and hope to be back.
