Reviews of Property: Oceanfront - Kanaloa at Kona... Please See Specials!!

We truly enjoyed our 9 nights at this condo. It is in a beautiful location and is very clean and quiet. It also has everything you need, other than your swimsuit and shorts, to have a great time. We were pleasantly surprised by the "outing" items they had available for us to use; from small ice chests, folding chairs and beach mats, to flashlights for lava tube exploring. The owner's have put together a great information book of their own and had several Big Island books we really enjoyed reading that helped us decide what we wanted to do and where we should go. The guide book they have gone through and added tabs and highlighting was especially helpful. The kitchen is very well set up with all equipment needed to cook and serve a wonderful meal to enjoy on the lanai. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. We also liked having an attended gate at the entrance. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood so it wasn't from fear that we liked it. It was just nice to know that anyone who was around was actually supposed to be there, so we left things in the car we would not have normally. When you stop at the gate upon arrival, they issue you a parking pass. From then on, the attendant sees the pass on your mirror and opens the gate as you approach. The market in the shopping center just up the hill is also very convenient and well stocked for a small store. We had planned to go to Costco for major shopping but never made it. We are looking forward to our next trip back!

Dear Janice and Bruce,

Thank you so much for renting your wonderful
condo to us. We've read all the great comments
about it on this site, but it still surpassed our
expectation. Sitting on the Lanai watching sunset
and having the surf come up almost all the way up
to the Lanai (so much so that we will occasionally
feel a few drops land right on us) was as tranquil as
it gets. We also really appreciated all the wonderful
advice you've given us on things to do, places to
visit, tips on doing all of that with small kids.
You've helped make this trip so memorable for us!
Next time we plan a trip to the Big Island, there is
no question on who we will contact first! Thank you
again!

Bruce and Janice were very accommodating to all of are needs. The condo was simply amazing. The view was beyond words. " JUST BEAUTIFUL".
Everything was at our fingertips. The sunsets were amazing and so beautiful. Shopping and fine dining was just a short drive away. The staff at rhe resort were so helpful. One big plus for me was
NO NOISE. A person could sit out all evening and be in absolute peace and quiet. I would return next week if possible. Hope to return soon. Thanks again Bruce and Janice for everything. This was one of the best places my family has ever had the pleasure of staying at. Hats off to you both for providing such a wonderful place we could call home for a great week.

This is a beautifully decorated air conditioned condo. The newly remodeled deck is lovely. The property has all items available which are needed for comfortable living.
We have stayed there many times and will return again. Enjoy!

Hosts Bruce and Janice were very accommodating. We were able to check in early on our day of arrival! The condo is immaculate and the kitchen divine. Being a chef, I was able to cook all our meals to enjoy on the lanai. Husband and son were able to golf 36 holes each day, while I sipped cocktails made at the wet bar! What a dream vacation for anyone looking for close to town, golf, fabulous accommodations and breathtaking sunsets!

Thank you Bruce and Janice!

It's beautifully renovated & furnished. Janice & Bruce were gracious and helpful. The condo is perfectly situated near downtown, with a beautiful ocean view from the 6th floor balcony. It's furnished with everything one could want- dishwasher, beach chairs, picnic cooler, beach umbrella, on-site laundry, etc. We loved it! I'd go back in a heartbeat! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

This was our seventh visit to the Big Isalnd, our third stay at Kanaloa and our second in this fantastic ocean-front condo. The location, size, amenities, condition and sunsets are superior in all regards. Highly recommended. Very secure and quiet resort but just minutes from the best snorkeling at Kahaluu, KTA shopping and the Fairwind at for great snorkel trips to Captain Cook's. The Big Island has everything so go explore!

Lovely condo, truly a home away from home.
Everything very well thought out for a beach home.
All you have to bring is your swimsuit - they
provided everything. Enjoyed dining in the
restaurant on the grounds overlooking the
ocean...although we did not want to leave our lanai!
Also, there is always someone in the clubhouse
willing to recommend activities, restaurants, etc.
Great tennis courts - don't bring your rackets as
they supply everything at the Clubhouse.
