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.

Our family absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect; quiet and away from the strip. The condo was as described and clean, everything needed for our stay. If we ever find ourselves back in Kona we would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful few days here. Loved the balcony looking over H Bay. My wife and I sat out there quite a bit with a meal, coffee, or glass of wine. We used all 3 hot tubs in the complex, and the kids (3) loved playing pickleball and table tennis. On-site staff were friendly/helpful, and we chatted with numerous friendly guests/residents as well. AC worked great. Sofa bed was nice (for our youngest). Place was clean, etc. Good communication with host as needed. Very convenient location for the activities we were there to enjoy (manta snorkel and other snorkeling at bays to the south). The only thing less-than-perfect is that I like to cook and I found the kitchen a little small and dated (lighting, lack of range light/fan), but it was definitely manageable. Would return here for sure.
We had a wonderful stay! The balcony view was amazing and we loved the ocean side pool! We hope to come back again. I would highly recommend this place. Aloha🌴
Location was excellent. Easy access to everything. Great views from each lanai. House is equipped with everything we needed and more. Resort was beautiful as well.
It surpassed my expectations. Felt so private and yet so convenient to everything we wanted to do. Sitting on the main deck watching the sunrise and again in the evening listening to the surf and the birds was truly special.

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.
Great location, good view from the lanai, walking distance to beaches and grocery store, but is still nice and quiet. We love this property. We can watch the sunset from the pool area. The property manager is very responsive.
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.
Everything about this place is 5 stars :) very clean and comfy , great location to lots of stuff we had something to do every day . Quiet , beautiful neighborhood we went for a run every morning . We sat at ocean side pool for sunset a few nights and saw several whale every time . There’s a cute little coffee shop about a mile away we walked to every morning . Several great dining options to all very close . We will be back for sure .
We loved the unit.. it was easily accessible Very clean and ready when it was promised to us! Especially loved the view off the lanai. Sent many pictures to friends and they also loved how beautiful it is!
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.
Clean, and Comfortable is just the start of this excellent home. The home is well-appointed with everything you need. Fantastic location on the resort with a direct view of Keahou Bay from the lanai! Parking spot is right at the stairs, main pool is just across the drive. The entire Kanaloa at Kona Resort is clean, well-maintained and beautiful. A great place for you Hawaiian stay.
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!!

Great location, beautiful views, needed deep cleaning, updates and really not room enough for 6 people even with 2 small childten. Overall we loved the place with the 3 pools, close to stores and restaurants. The grounds and pool area were spotless including the gas fireplaces for bbqing. We would go back to this place. Thank you!
This place is gorgeous! Beautiful home, spacious, everything you will need already here for you. Beautiful property, pools, tennis courts, right on the golf course. Just a short drive to so many different beaches and stores. Loved it! Thank you. Yes, we will definitely stay here again!
Our November stay was fantastic. Owner and manager were super in multiple ways. Our unit was close to two pools and had a very nice bay view. The kitchen was well stocked. A bonus was three air conditioners for our use as needed. We look forward to returning in the future.
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.
A truly delightful stay. This beautiful condo had everything we needed. A spacious kitchen. 3 lanais. So many places to eat and relax. Filled with light. A beautiful view. Tons of amenities. A beautiful property with three pools. We never wanted to leave.
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.
We loved staying at this property! The views off the main lanai are incredible - there is a lovely cove where you can listen to the ocean and birds singing while drinking your morning coffee or sipping your evening cocktail. There is tons of room, the condo was very clean, the beds comfy, and the air conditioning kept us cool. Not only that, but the entire property is really lovely and away from the hustle and bustle of town, so you are close to amenities but far enough away to feel like you have a peaceful setting. And there is an incredible ocean front pool that our kids played in every evening (and it offers incredible sunset views). Thank you, thank you, thank you to the property owners. We would love to return.
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.

Great location and condo complex but the unit needs to be thoroughly cleaned - carpets, bedspreads, cushions on furniture. Also the primary bathroom shower enclosure is off track and there is a crack on the left rear stove burner.
