Summary Summary
Aloha! Planning your Hawaii Vacation just got a lot easier as you’ve found the perfect place! Kalanikai 118 is located in the desirable Kailua-Kona right along the shores of the Big Island’s west coast.
Description Description
This completely refreshed condo has everything needed for an ideal Hawaiian vacation experience. The location can’t be beat to take full advantage of the area’s best attractions. Not only will you be just a short stroll away from sandy beaches and the ocean surf, but guests of Kalanikai 118 will also enjoy amazing onsite amenities of a sparkling pool, shaded barbecue area, and a tropical setting surrounded by a lush garden of plants and trees.

Advantageously within walking distance to Ali’i Drive, you’ll be minutes away to popular bars and nightlife, farmer’s markets for stocking up on fresh produce, restaurants serving up delicious local cuisine, and boutique shopping options. Kailua Pier offers a host of water-themed activities from sportfishing and swimming to diving and snorkeling and everything in between.

We provide 2 beach chairs and 1 cooler for guest use.

If you’re in the mood to relax and enjoy a cozy evening in, the stylish kitchen is fully stocked with all the cookware and dining ware you’ll need to whip up delicious meals at home. Pull up a high-top stool at the island or take your meal outside to the lanai and enjoy the lush garden views. After dinner, settle into the comfortable living room sofa and stream all your favorite shows on the smart TV.

This condo comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests and is ideal for small families. It is best suited for 2 adults and 2 children, offering one private bedroom and a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room. The bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed with crisp linens and soft blankets for a restful night’s sleep, along with its own smart TV.

The full guest bathroom is located next to the bedroom and features a barn door for privacy when in use. The bedroom also has its own separate door, allowing for additional privacy between the bedroom and bathroom areas.

Mountain and sea canyon hiking can also be found nearby. Several National Parks are within 0.5 to 1 hours drive from the condo. The famous Volcanoes National Park is a beautiful 2 hour scenic drive away.

Nice place to stay in Kona. The apartment was as advertised, except the TVs no longer have traditional cable. Would happily stay again.

Everything good except for checking in. Hard to find where the unit located. Especially if we arrive in the late evening. It should be helpful to send out the map before check in.

Mahalo, Jahn0006, for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. I appreciate your suggestion about the check-in process and will definitely work on improving that for future guests. We hope to welcome you back soon!

This location is excellent. The accommodation was clean and safe. What we were surprised about is the lack of door to the bathroom, so the only way to get privacy in the toilet is to close the living room and the bedroom door. Getting in the apartment was an issue as they had given us the wrong lockbox code and I had to spend 20 minutes on the phone before I got someone online to give me the correct lockbox code. Apart from that stay was uneventful, the kitchen was well stocked and usable. The bed was comfortable. The parking slot was available as promised. So overall, we had a good experience staying here.

I've stayed in a few different apartments in this same complex, and this one was one the nicest, by far! Very comfortable, accommodating, perfect location, decently priced, and amazing service!

Very nice, clean place. Great location close to the heart of town with lots of shopping and restaurants. The extras provided for adventuring were appreciated (cooler, beach towels, etc.)

Pros: Nice place for the price point. The pool is private and updated as is the unit. We liked being able to walk to Ali'i drive for shopping and restaurants. Parking space is shaded and unit is quiet. Nice lanai for sitting. TV great and it was nice to have a cooler to take to the beach. Cons: Bed is too high for many people; anyone under 5'6 is going to need a stool to get in. Comfy though. The cleaning fee $310 for my stay, is a bit steep considering I had to wash the dishes, wash/dry towels except one set, and remove garbage. I don't mind doing that but then reduce the fee. Please set up recycling bin in unit- the garbage area does have recycling but that wasn't made known to us. At least put that in your binder.

Aloha, Alysoun! Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location, the updated unit, and the private pool, as well as the convenient walk to Ali’i Drive. We’re also happy that you appreciated the TV and the cooler for the beach! We also value your input on areas for improvement. We’ll certainly look into providing a stool for guests who may need it to access the bed more easily, and we’ll review the cleaning fee in light of your comments. Regarding the recycling, we appreciate the suggestion and will make sure to include more information about it in the unit's binder for future guests. Thank you again for taking the time to provide us with valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon! - Grand Welcome Hawaii

Check in was very smooth. We received check in instructions the day before, found our parking spot and entered the condo easily. It was very clean. This condo is very centrally located. Safeway is a short walk (or drive) up the hill, the Big Island Grill is across the street, Kona Brewing was within walking distance and it was not too far to downtown Kona for other restaurants and farmer's market. KTA, Walmart and Longs were also close by. The king bed was comfy and there was a second TV in the bedroom. We were happy to find camp chairs, beach towels and some coolers. The pool area was really nice and we spent a couple days there when the weather was a little cloudy. Two grills are in the pool area. We used them for a dinner of grilled steaks and pineapple. We would definitely stay here again. The only negative I could think to add is that there were no chocolate covered macadamia nuts awaiting us as the picture suggests. But Costco wasn't too far away for getting some of those.

Reply to vrbo review... Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you had a smooth check-in and enjoyed the condo’s central location, comfy bed, and all the beach essentials. It’s great to know you made good use of the pool and grills—grilled steaks and pineapple sound like the perfect island meal! We’ll have to work on those chocolate-covered macadamia nuts next time. 😉 We’d love to host you again on your next trip to Kona! Mahalo and safe travels! 🌺

The condo exceeded our expectations! Very beautiful and the in-suite washer/dryer was a huge plus. The grounds are very well kept and having access to a BBQ by the pool (also well kept) made the stay even better. Nice proximity to the ocean and shops - very walkable. Host (Grand Welcome) was very accommodating to our inquiries and requests - would definitely stay here again given the opportunity!

Easy walk to food and shops, quiet complex. The only funky thing is the bedroom door is in the bathroom area, so privacy was hard with multiple people staying. Not terrible, just something to know.
