Overview of Location
We would love to have you stay in our remodeled and redecorated condo at the beautiful 18 acre, Four-Star Kanaloa at Kona Resort. Our Kona home is one bedroom, 2 bathrooms and is on the ground floor (no long stairways) and is located on He’eia Bay and overlooks Keauhou Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The unit is huge (unlike an apartment). Almost 1200 square feet! We are walking distance (a half mile) to the Keauhou Bay boat harbor where daily tours depart for various water-based activities, including what we believe is the best snorkel site on the island-the Marine Preserve at Kealakekua Bay (near Captain Cook’s Monument). AND about one mile to the Keauhou Shopping center with its many restaurants and a multiplex cinema and cultural events. You can also leave for nightly snorkel or diving trips with the manta rays, right at the entrance to Keauhou Bay. World-class marlin fishing and sport fishing, kayaking, snorkeling expeditions, SNUBA, Hawaiian outrigger canoe tours, stand-up paddle boarding, surfing and ocean rafting adventures are also available in Keauhou Bay. You’ll find little reason to deal with the hustle and bustle and traffic of downtown to get on the water. For those activities you won’t even need a car. And if you're not a water enthusiast; there is The Kona Country Club, a Top 100 public golf course adjacent to the resort, tennis, pickleball, shopping, luaus and dining. Of course, there are those volcanoes, rain forests, waterfalls and other sights nearby to take in as well. Realtors refer to this as location, location, location.
Condo Amenities
Our one bedroom unit is 1185 sq. ft. and can sleep up to six people thanks to our spacious master bedroom and our new, queen-size Murphy bed and new queen-size sleeper-sofa. The two bathrooms have been recently remodeled and are beautiful. Various other renovations were completed in June of 2017 and again in 2023. The Master Bedroom has a regular door for privacy and also a shoji screen door for keeping track of the kids. Other family-oriented amenities include a Pack'n Play and a high-chair for the wee ones. There is plenty of space for your belongings. The condo is well stocked with swimming flotation noodles, boogie boards, beach towels and board games. Availability of water toys varies as guests break or lose them and don't report it to us.)
As a full-size, washer and dryer are in the unit, there’s no need to over-pack your suitcases. The kitchen features beautiful koa wood cabinetry and overlooks the living room and the lanai, so you can join in on the conversations and even have great water views while working in the kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked with the pots, pans, utensils and serving sets. When you’re not enjoying the outside, you can enjoy several indoor amenities like cable TV on our two flat-screen HDTVs, DVD/VHS player, Bluetooth-compatible iHome entertainment system. So bring your Bluetooth devices. Stream content via our high-speed internet connection or just kick back on the lanai. The lanai features killer views, a wet-bar and mini-fridge, maybe even read a book! Most meals are taken on the lanai but the kitchen also has a breakfast nook with seating for up to six.

Just right for planning your own adventures or just relaxing by the pool. Cozy and convenient to a great little shopping complex and the action of Kona is a short drive. Just around the corner from guided snorkeling tours, and a nice little beach. Complex is safe, ultra clean and well maintained. Condo has everything you might need. We had a deligtful stay.

I’m this is a comfortable and lovely condo. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of tourists in Kona but close enough to shopping and dining when needed. Safe. Secure gated community. Perfect for 1 to 6 people. I will stay here again.

This unit was clean, very fully equipped, and had a spectacular view from the deck. Our only concern is with the fees attached to this booking which basically doubled the daily cost. We will never book through VRBO again.

This is a cute spacious condo with a very relaxing vibe. The community is pretty quite which is nice. There are 3 different pools with hot tubs to choose from. You will be a short 10 minute walk to a great snorkel/swim spot. There is also a couple tour companies located at that snorkel/swim spot you can book for excursions. The condo has carpet so the only downside is the moisture sticks in the carpet and you really have to air it out daily otherwise it can get a bit musty. I was fine opening the dorrs and lighting a candle.

Lots of room inside - especially the master bedroom. The patio is nice to sit in morning and evening. The pool areas are nice. No walkable beach and about 15 min drive to Kona town, but right near big grocery store and pharmacy, and close to Kona coffee places. Only complaint we have is that the air conditioning was limited to 74 and we found it hot at night.

This is our 2nd time staying in the condo resort, and our first time in this unit. I would stay again for the view and location alone! The condo had everything we needed and was a great size for my husband and I. No complaints, as the owner was easy to contact. As mentioned in some of the other reviews, be aware that there is noticeable noise from the above unit when occupied (feet walking, furniture moving), and bugs like under the kitchen sink (we took out our garbage daily and used the bug spray provided to help). The air conditioning only goes down to 74, which can be a bit warm for some. The lanai is the best! We spent most of our condo time enjoying the view and lovely weather.

We loved the location and the property! It was better than the pictures in our opinion. The master bed was comfortable as well. The linens in the murphy bed are a bit musty so would require washing before use if you need to use the bed- we did not need to use it. Overall great rental and we had great sunsets each night!
