Kanaloa At Kona #3701

This condo is beautiful and in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is pretty and you will have anything you need. The showers are wonderful with nice towels and the resort is heavenly with 3 pools and hot tubs.

This is what I didn’t like: The second bedroom beds are very uncomfortable. If you aren’t a child, you will wake up with achy pains. The unit requires you to launder the towels. The washing machine and dryer are small. So washing and drying is a all day feat. It takes two hour sessions to dry the towels. And that is two loads. It is super noisy, so you can’t wash and dry at night. So that is six hours of laundry which seems ridiculous to do on a vacation.

It would be nice to have some mini shampoo and conditioners as well has better quality toilet paper.

The unit was cleaned well, but the main couch arm was filthy and water stained. The cushions were somewhat dirty too. The

The amazing porch and beautiful art pictures made up for the dirty couches. The condo It is very homey and cottage like.

I might come again if new mattresses were bought or just memory foam mattress toppers would go along way for comfort.

I will first start off with the good. The space and location of this property is fantastic. The view is beautiful and the teak table on the lanai makes meals special! The bathrooms are great too.

Where improvements can happen are updating the mattresses! They’re extra extra firm and dipping on the sides where people sleep. The master bedrooms bed makes a terrible noise when you turn your body from one side to another. The loud stomping from the above unit was jarring and honestly put a damper on things. The unit could use updated beach gear. The umbrella is broken, beach matts are falling apart and chairs broken. We had a ice maker problem and both bathroom toilets were problematic. We called and inquired and they tried to remedy the situation with a bag of ice and cookies and someone fixed the toilet (however the problem still persisted).

For the amount of money you spend on this unit the toilet paper is poor quality and feels like airport quality paper, no tissue paper, no pens or a notepad to write anything down… please be aware of some of these things if you’re picky.

The kitchen is well stocked for you to cook and prepare meals. Bring a sponge because they give you a tiny one. I gave this place four stars but really it’s like 3.5 with a outstanding view and the space is ample for a family of four.

Our backs are sore from the mattresses. Mattresses in rentals should be replaced more often than average.

Overall this unit could be excellent with a few upgrades and the noise is a tough one because some people are more sensitive than others.

The condo is beautiful, very clean, and very well outfitted.

Being an end unit provided a lot of privacy. We loved to sit on the lanai each morning and have coffee.

I would definitely stay here again!

This was our home base for a great trip. The views from the lanai are stunning - the classic Hawaii oceanfront experience. The condo unit is awesome - modern, clean, spacious, and quiet. It was a short easy walk down to the beach on the small cove, where I did a bit of snorkeling each morning. Sunset views were easy to come by with just a short walk to one of the property pools. Best of all was the location - a short drive north to Kona-Kailua for restaurants, a great coffee shop just up the hill, and easy access to drives south to the Captain Cook area and beyond for other beach and sightseeing destinations. We would definitely stay here again!

This condo was ideal for our first stay on the Big Island. Since the complex sits in a more residential area, and in particular this unit is at the edge of the complex, it was so peaceful and quiet. And with all of the plants and vegetation and the amazing view of the bay, the surroundings were just spectacular! We also really liked the location of this condo. We debated staying up north on the Kohala coast, but really think this location is ideal. You are close to many great destinations including so many fantastic restaurants, coffee farms, Kealakekua Bay for great snorkeling and even walking distance from the take off point for Manta Ray snorkeling.

The interior of the condo was spacious and clean, and specifically the kitchen and bathrooms were both beautiful and functional. The kitchen is well stocked. While we didn't end up cooking a lot, when we did need to use the kitchen, we had everything we needed. We also really appreciated all of the beach gear. We were able to use the beach chairs and umbrella, which made our beach visit perfect.
