Rental Details

Property Overview

Watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean at this beautiful oceanfront resort! Your vacation hideaway is a spacious one bedroom, two bath, first floor condo, fully renovated in 2023! The complex is beautifully landscaped, very well maintained, upscale and quiet. A large comfortable(really!) queen-size sofa bed in the living room plus a porta crib and fold-away bed helps this unit easily accommodate 4 adults or two adults with up to 3 children. Rates are based on 1-4 persons; 5th person $10/night additional.

The condo has a spacious oceanside lanai off the living room with a wet bar and view of He'eia Bay; plus a second lanai off the bedroom.

In May and June of 2023, we completely renovated the entire unit. Replaced the 40-year-old bathrooms and kitchen with new cabinets, appliances, fixtures, sinks, tubs, showers and granite countertops. We installed new flooring throughout the unit, new and brighter lighting, additional ceiling fans and updated the paint and overall decor. New sofa-bed, new lanai furniture and also some exciting new artwork. In updating everything, we aimed to maintain the character and homey feel we loved when we first bought the unit and hope our guests will agree that we succeeded. We increased the number of pictures on the listing to make it easy to visualize everything.

This is our Hawaiian home-away-from-home which we offer as a vacation rental when we are back on the mainland. The fully renovated kitchen is equipped with pots and pans, quality glassware and utensils, and all the usual small appliances, including the all-important coffee maker! Parking is free, covered, and convenient. Also free WiFi in the condo and at the pools that can be used while looking out at the ocean and gardens.

And we have hair dryers in both bathrooms! (one of the more popular questions!)

The delightful ocean breezes and ceiling fans throughout will keep you cool and content. Layout allows cross ventilation so it's very comfortable sleeping. Electricity is very expensive in HI, so we made a conscious decision to forgo installing air conditioning. This benefits our guests greatly in two ways - 1) we can continue to offer our condo at a very competitive rate, and 2) acclimation is easy, many of our guests have commented that while the unit is very comfortable without AC, they also appreciate not having to go through the hot/cold changes when entering/leaving the unit. An additional note - during the renovation, all of the workers commented on how cool the unit was to work in - even during warmer days!

Kanaloa is a gated community with two top-notch tennis courts, 3 pools and spas and a golf course (Kona CC) right next door. The complex is lovely; very well maintained, beautifully landscaped, and feels more like a village than a condo development. This is a truly tropical paradise right on the Pacific Ocean.

Living Space: Over 1000 square feet of living space, plus a bedroom lanai and a spacious oceanside lanai (with wet bar) off the living room area.

Refund Policy: $200 cancellation fee >60 days before arrival; when a cancellation is less than 60 days prior to scheduled arrival, the refund is for the amount resold, less 20%.

Property was as advertised, very nice location. Property was in a quiet area away from town but an easy drive. Spacious layout and having 2 bathrooms was very convenient. We would recommend staying here!

Condo & property are exactly as described, photos are spot on. Jim & Debbie were gracious hosts. We've stayed in Kona several times, this is our first time at Kanaloa and their unit, we'll definitely stay here again! Condo is nice and large for a one bedroom. Love the three pools, grounds and the views!

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful week stay. Very nice, well furnished condo unit layout for two, conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood south of Kailua-Kona near Keauhou Bay with access to snorkel and other tour boats. We also took advantage in walking to the small cove (He'eia) literally next door to snorkel without the crowds (had the cove to ourseleves) and which also provides a nice view from the living room area. Very pleasent stay ... highly recommened for a Kona getaway for two.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was nicely remodeled and had very nice furnishings. We loved the art work in the condo. It was very spacious and comfortable, and we appreciated that anything we could possibly need to enjoy our stay in Hawaii was provided (sand chairs, beach towels, a boogie board, and more). We would definitely love to return to this property when we come to Hawaii again!

We had a wonderful stay at the property. All of the little details seem to have been thought of by the owners. Plenty of space for our family of 4. Lots of beach equipment provided, fins, snorkels, umbrellas, mats, perfect for enjoying the island. This was our first trip to the big island, but when we return, this will be the place we reserve again. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!

Beautiful unit in a really pretty complex. Enjoyed eating breakfast outside on the lanai each morning. Lots of amenities to cover all the different types of activities we did in the area during our stay.

Good location for us. Quiet. Tasteful decor. Well supplied with kitchen items, bath products, linens, etc. Appliances work well. Friendly and helpful property management staff. Excellent security. Nice pools. Good walking. Good covered parking. Lots of fans, plenty of cross breezes. TV audio was not good at all so we opted for the lovely ocean sounds.

This is the third time we stayed at this property. It’s always clean and stocked with basics when we arrive. It is close to down town and near many beautiful beaches.

Such a lovely place to stay. The hosts were amazing. Everything was seamless. The beach gear to use was a bonus. The location was great for us because it was further from the main tourist area and the shopping center was never crowded. Definitely keeping this on my saved list for a future stay.

Great place. Extremely large for a 1Br/2Ba. Very well stocked. Don’t bring beach gear on airplane, this place has everything you need! Boogie boards, snorkel gear, umbrellas, etc. if you want to cook, unit has everything you need. Our vacation was great!

We've stayed here before and were so elated to see the updating that's been done. the place was very clean, organized and well-stocked. Really enjoy the location since it's away from the throngs of Kailua. The only slight detraction was a very loud neighbor. But overall had a great stay.

Our stay in the comfortable condo in south Kona was good. We had everything we needed. The unit was well stocked. We enjoyed the outdoor eating area (lanai) that was private with lush landscape and morning sun. Without air conditioning we kept cool enough with fans on and no blankets. The sunsets poolside were a stand out. The complex is quiet. The staff was very friendly. We would come again.
