Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Travelers love this condo complex for its unbeatable location right across from Kahalu’u Beach Park—one of the Big Island’s best and most beginner‑friendly snorkeling spots, with frequent turtle sightings and on‑site surf lessons. Most units are described as very clean, comfortable, and exceptionally well stocked, often including snorkel sets, boogie boards, beach chairs, coolers, and fully outfitted kitchens. Ocean and sunset views from lanais are a highlight, and the small complex’s pool, hot tub, and grill area overlook the bay, making post‑beach evenings relaxing. Hosts and managers earn consistent praise for friendly, responsive communication.

The setting feels more local and quieter than central Kailua‑Kona, yet it’s an easy 5–15 minute drive to shops, restaurants, and activities; the Keauhou Shopping Center and trolley stop are close by. Parking is simple, and many units have in‑suite laundry and air conditioning (nice to have after a beach day). Layouts work well for families and groups, and some buildings have elevators, though others are walk‑up. Most guests say they’d happily return, with many repeat stays.

Common tips and caveats: several units charge extra for A/C and some have timers that require periodic resets—clarify policies before arrival. Being right on Ali‘i Drive means some road or early‑morning maintenance noise; sensitive sleepers may want earplugs. As with any tropical location, occasional ants/gnats or geckos pop up, usually handled quickly by management. Beach access is stellar, but rare temporary closures can happen (high surf or coral restoration), and a car is helpful for broader dining and sightseeing. Overall, reviews are strongly positive for location, views, amenities, and value.

This Cando is amazing!! We have stayed on this property many times and this one is by far the most clean, welcoming and set up. The owner communicated very well and insured we had a comfortable stay. Highly recommend

Excellent location. We enjoyed our time near the shops and restaurants. A nice central location on the west side of the island. The condo was great and the location is convenient. The host is easy to work with. Only complaint is the noise. The traffic can be quite loud and the road is quite busy.

The rental was perfect for my friends and I. The kitchen was well stocked with necessary amenities. The door key code was challenging so we just used the key. Response was quick and helpful. Mornings on the lanai with coffee was a wonderful way to start the day. Some of us started our days at the beach watching the sunrise. The unit was comfortable and clean. The extras were useful- chairs, beach towels, etc. I woupd definitely stay there again.

This is a very well appointed condo with a lanai directly overlooking one of the best snorkeling spots on the Big Island. My expectations were exceeded in almost every way. Plenty of kitchen items. I especially appreciated the snorkel gear and the leftover sunblock from previous visitors. The pool and grill were also awesome. One thing to be aware of is that, while you can hear the ocean from this unit, you can also hear the cars on Alii drive. For me, the beach view outweighed this downside but folks should know that you do hear cars when the windows are open.

This is a beautiful house! It has all the amenities and more. Everything is fully stocked with everything you could need. Very clean and beautifully decorated. The host was amazing and was always in communication. Check in and check out is super easy. The ocean views are amazing and there are several lanais where you can sit and eat. 10/10! We will definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time at the Aloha Kona Condos; the condo was very clean & comfortable with great walk in showers with a lanai that faced the beach! Walking distance to the beach & close to everything. Kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of towels & the beds were very comfortable. We will definitely return here for another vacation. Highly recommend it and Danielle was very nice & helpful too.

This was the cleanest, most well-stocked condo we’ve ever stayed in during our trips to Hawaii, right across the street from excellent snorkeling at Kahalu’u Beach Park! The unit is well maintained and has a lot of insulation, so we didn’t have to rely on the A/C to stay cool as much as some other places. The kitchen had everything - there was even a French press and filtered water in the fridge.Gorgeous lanai with comfortable chairs, and the master bed and pillows were VERY comfortable. It’s a quieter complex than some. Property manager and owner are friendly and easy to communicate with. I hope to stay here again!

Top 3 VRBO I've ever stayed at. Great location, upgraded property, lots of room, best stocked unit I've ever seen. I will definitely stay here again on our next visit. Right across the street from the ocean and 50 yards from a beach/park. Good bed, well stocked bathroom, lots towels, well appointed kitchen. Convenient location south of the airport. Off street parking. Great lanai overlooking the ocean. LOVE IT.

Loved it! The only concern I have is of the itemizations. Tax tax tax but it does not describe what the taxes represent. And the 400 service fee. What was that for, Vrbo fee? But the location and cleanliness were superb.

Such a lovely vacation spot. Enjoyed snorkeling across the street. The pool was wonderful! Had our meals on the patio. The condo was equipped with all we needed - from pots and pans to boogie boards and swim shoes in various sizes to AC that helped us manage the humidity. We snorkeled at low tide and saw so many varieties of fish and turtles. Three of us stayed in the condo - hubby, wife and adult daughter - and we all felt as though we had enough space. Beds were comfy. Condo was very clean. Easy parking. Outside of the condo, had wonderful meal at Umeke’s and Ola Brewing. Visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was very special.

We had a fantastic stay at the condo in Kahalu'u. The host was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. The condo itself was beautifully maintained and well stocked with everything we needed. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view from the lanai—truly unforgettable. Its prime location right next to Kahalu'u Beach Park offered amazing snorkeling opportunities just steps away. We absolutely loved our time here and would be thrilled to return to this property in the future.

This was an excellent property. Nice pool and hot tub. 1st floor overlooking the pool and the snorkle beach across the street. Full size kitchen with all necessities. Two full baths with linens. Air conditioning worked very good. Parking was easy and safe. We toured the entire island and had a great stay, Aug of 2025. Also had snorkle gear provided and I swam with underwater camera across the street and got hundreds of coral reef fish pics. On the last day I swam with multiple turtles and got cool underwater video.

While the picture is a bit misleading (pool is on site, but not the view from our particular condo, the beach was viewed) both the beach and the pool were thoroughly enjoyed. The condo itself made us feel "right at home". It is decorated nicely and we found it to be very clean. Kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the condiments in the frig. Bathrooms were spacious and plenty of towels were provided. Pool and beach equipment was so appreciated(as was the iron). Lovely location and easy to navigate the area. We would stay again of the opportunity arose.

Cara’s place was perfect for our group of 4. Spotlessly clean, and located in a great location across from the water. We loved watching the sunset go down from the lanai in the evenings. Cara was a great communicator. She was kind, considerate, and responsive when we informed her of an unforeseen issue during our stay, and went above and beyond in her help. I highly recommend staying here!

Check-in was super easy with a code for the door and all parking spots are close to unit. Extremely clean and well stocked. I did ask for sheets to be out for sleeper sofa and we had to look for those and they forgot to turn the thermostat back down after a few day gap, but given the heat and humidity, the thermostat worked great and they set it down about a minute after I called. Beach gear was great. Don't underestimate snorkeling across the street. Kids had a great surf lesson too. Fabulous central location. Parking in town was expensive, but we went farther south for Shave Ice. Pool was great and kids used every day. Fabulous location!

Great accommodation! Location was perfectly located right across from the beach. Plenty of room for our family of 5. Everything was as described. Beautiful view of the ocean from the lanai.

The house was amazing - the kitchen had every appliance and utensil I could ever need. It’s an absolutely gorgeous home. We enjoyed our meals on the deck with the water view and loved walking across the street to go snorkel. The staff in the surf shop downstairs were super friendly and helpful too! It was an fantastic experience for me and my two boys!

We had recently stayed in a rental directly above this one and knew both the location and the amenities available. The location is unbeatable and the apartment itself was okay except for 1 thing. BUGS. The apartment had hundreds of dead bugs all over the apartment and many flying bugs. There were bugs in the bedding, in the fridge, in the bathroom drawers and all over the floor. We spent less than an hour in the apartment and ended up with 4 bites.The property manager first said that that there are a few bugs to there are periodic infestations of black gnats but it's okay since they don't bite (!!) to asking us to identify the specific insects.

Paradise! Even better than advertised!The location was perfect, right across from the beach, close to downtown and shops. The penthouse condo was super clean, tropical and stocked with everything you could want for a beach vacation (they even had a charming welcome basket with local snacks and drinks). The pool and hot tub were fabulous and the pool overlooked the ocean; even my teens loved it. We appreciated having a washer and dryer in house, it made traveling with carry-ons totally doable. Thanks to the owner's great communication, our family felt very well taken care of! It truly felt like they wanted us to have the perfect vacation, which we did!!! 100% Recommend this VRBO!

This rental was perfection. Wonderful condo. Perfectly outfitted. Due to a food allergy, I cooked most meals at the condo…so having a well stocked kitchen is key. There were also beach towels, a cooler, and other beach and snorkeling gear. Directly across from one of the best snorkeling spots on the Big Island. Our hosts were phenomenal communicators. We will absolutely return to this magical place.

We are first timers using a VRBO and checking in was a little confusing. I missed seeing the email with the check in directions. The location was great! Upon arrival everything was neat and tidy, then the AC wouldn't work. I called and within 48hours it got recharged, however every 2-3 days we needed to call to get it recharged again. Then when game 7 of the NBA playoffs was happening; the cable wasn't working. I called and they sent a cable person over promptly to fix it. Unfortunately my team didn't win. Each time I had a question or another problem would come up they were very kind and quick to help, which was nice.The property grounds were well maintained. We used the pool, hot tub, the outdoor barbeque, the outside shower to get the sand off our feet, the beach across the street and there was ample parking spaces. Even when coming back at midnight. The beach across the street was easy to get to. I enjoyed not having to get in the car again, drive again and then find a parking spot. In the kid's bedroom there was sand chairs/buckets, an umbrella, a cooler, swim noodles, a beach bag, board games and snorkeling stuff. In the basket on the coffee table were things to do Hawaii books and a picture book of fish you could see while snorkeling. I never found a cookie sheet while staying their, so we microwaved our chicken nuggets and corndogs.I would stay at this location again, just not this unit until I could confirm the AC was permanently fixed.
