Such a quiet community with great access to outdoor activities
We were a little disappointed with the cleanliness of the condo. Also, we had to ask for more towels, soap, toilet paper, etc. For the price, we expected it to be better in these areas. But, the office was quick to help us out and willing to make it right. The view is incredible!
Oh how we loved viewing the crashing waves just off our lanai and beyond! The kitchen was nicely updated (although freezer handle broken off at lower attachment point). The blinds on the slider were in disrepair; there were louvres missing and others replaced inappropriately. At least one of these was hanging too low and caught on the carpet. There was duct take attaching a small section of the carpet at intersection with the entry tile. Check-in problem: I signed paperwork, including the surprise surcharge for AC but the desk person didn't let me know I needed to pay for AC up front (I later discovered that AC surcharge is mentioned on VRBO web page for this unit). When we arrived at the unit is was hot with the afternoon sun but we didn't have key to turn on AC. The booklet we were given at check-in did not have phone number for front desk, just the corporate number that had a recording, no live person. I had to walk back to front desk to pay for AC and ask for front desk phone number, which it turns out we needed. The ceiling fan in master bedroom was so unbalanced, we couldn't use it. I was told that someone would come the next day to fix it but they didn't come until 2 days later. I was very much disappointed that the jetted tub shown in 2 photos on VRBO web page was in a locked room off of the bathroom. The person at front desk said he would get back to me on this but did not. When we checked out, I told the front desk about the photos and weeks later, I find that they are still shown. In addition, the stopper for the bathtub in the hallway bathroom leaked. These are reasons I didn't score this unit as highly as others.
My family spent two nights here at the ocean's edge with gorgeous sunsets from the dining patio. The kitchen had everything we needed including a blender for our morning fresh fruit smoothies. All the beds were comfortable. We had a beautiful hike where the cliff jumpers, jump along the rugged shoreline. Unfortunately no jumpers that day, including ourselves, but a wonderful hike. A beautiful stay in Kona with plenty to do and short car rides to get there.
Beautiful location, quiet and spacious condo. The lanai furniture was a bit weather-worn (which stands to reason); but other than that, a very comfortable unit. Lovely, peaceful condo community and welcoming staff. A wonderful respite. Thank you!
The place was very clean and beautiful views.
We rented from VRBO for the first time and will NEVER use this service again. Once I made the reservation, VRBO did NOTHING for me - couldn't even send me a confirmation of the property I rented. In fact, the company that managed the property told me I rented this property (Unit 2001 at Kanaloa) and we ended up getting an entirely different condo. But VRBO still took $142 from us - for absolutely nothing. I would never use their service again.
2906 was excellent. Super ocean view, every comfort of home. Thanks so much for a great stay
