We can only list positive comments on this place. The complex sits on its own peninsula with the common ground kept in Tip-Top shape. The apartment is beautiful, was super clean and everything was in working order the entire time. It is stocked with all kinds of cooking appliances and utensils. There is a nice supermarket 5 minutes away so we prepared most of our meals at home (Gas BBQ by the pool). In terms of access to the Island, we thought its central location was ideal. The staff and owner were all very friendly and helpful and the rental process is very straightforward and organized. We actually were referring to the apartment as "Home". We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Our visit was good. Don’t know how often the units do construction, but between that and paving it was noisy in the morning. Great location for exploring

What a beautiful place. Easy to find, easy to check in, safe, quiet, great pools. Couple of restaurants and pizza place plus grocery store and Longs drugstore just up the hill. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!

Beautiful views. Great pools. Quiet, comfortable. Well appointed kitchen. Nice supply of beach equipment. Had a problem with the sliding door to the lanai but it was promptly fixed. Loved the view off the lanai where we could watch the Manta tours sunset tours.

It surpassed my expectations. Felt so private and yet so convenient to everything we wanted to do. Sitting on the main deck watching the sunrise and again in the evening listening to the surf and the birds was truly special.

My husband and I stayed here for the week of our wedding. The condo was a perfect size for us and all our luggage. The condo was very clean and furniture was clean and modern. I will hopefully be back on our anniversary.

We recently stayed in Kanaloa at Kona and everything was great. The condo had everything we needed. We all came back happy and would love to some day return to this beautiful place.

We had a wonderful week at this golf course oceanfront property. It offered all we could ask for. The view was spectacular and the home was well appointed. Highly recommend! ⛳️🌴

This complex was amazing. The pools, ocean views and amenities made it a wonderful choice. The ocean views from the patio were wonderful. The unit provided all the beach/snorkeling gear we needed. Would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed in this section of Kanaloa before and always enjoy it. This unit has a wonderful golf and ocean view and the owner did a great job communicating (even calling me beforehand to give me some helpful information). There was also a nice gift basket when we arrived for our two week visit. I would definitely stay here again.

We had everything we needed for our stay with our family including child gates for the two stairways, a car seat and crib. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed for preparing meals. We will stay here again.

Couches and linen were very dirty, years of stains. Bedding and pillows need replacing immediately lots of stains. Main bathroom toilet needs repair sounds like water is coming to refill tank.

We’ve just finished having a wonderful experience staying in this condo. The view from the lanai was beautiful, with the sunrise greeting you in the morning, shade in the afternoon and the sunset flooding the vista with color each evening.
This unit is comfortable and quiet and just the right size for a family or couples needing a great base while visiting the “Bid Island”. Stay here with confidence! Mahalo and Aloha”

My guess is, when you stay you’ll rate it 5 stars. I just couldn’t and here’s why. The up stairs space is a pullout couch with an uncomfortable, super thin mattress pad. So we bought a 3 inch topper and it was fine. I learned later from the property management company that was the tipping point for the owners to buy a full-size bed. So enjoy. 😉
The kitchen is well stocked, the outside space at Sunset is stunning. Everything worked. Love the master suite and shower.
Will return.

Property is clean, quiet, and comfortable.
Getting bedroom tv to work was a challenge, it took a couple of days ( and I’m fairly electronics capable).
Significant ant problem that property manager responded to. They returned couple of days later after a heavy rain.
Toilet innards may need replacing, not working well on both of them. All reported to prop mgr when we left.

We previously stayed at this property several years ago. It has been meticulously maintained and we loved staying here again!! The location is fantastic, just a short drive into town. One of the best amenities is the incredible views from every room!! The sunsets were beautiful. Janice was wonderful to work with. We highly recommend this property for anyone visiting The Big Island!

The unit and views were exactly as advertised-wonderful. We had a great busy week in Kona, even when Hurricane Hone hit the other side of the island. Those 13,000' volcanoes kept it over there.

The location is very accessible for the beaches on the central west side of the island like Captain Cook or Two Step. The view from the lanai is beautiful. The sunset by the pool is stunning! Denise is very responsive.
The interior has some basic issues that should be addressed. It seems past its prime and could use a refresh on the cabinets and tile work. The blinds are missing slats and one was stuck open in the master so if you don’t like light that is an issue in the bedroom. Not to mention privacy!Maintenance was very helpful with fixing this when we talked to them outside the unit. They must have had issues with people stealing because Claudio (whose number we were given by the host) would only allow 1 roll of paper towels ! and was very RUDE about that issue saying we must buy our own if we wanted more. We had six people staying 5 days. The towels are threadbare and need replaced and we initially did not have enough for everyone. Again maintenance helped with this by asking housekeeping for us. The building could use a refresh.
For the cost it was a good home base and much better than a hotel. We have stayed at many condos and just felt there were a lot of little problems . We didn’t let that ruin our time and still had a great vacation in Paradise.

Spacious condo, furnished nicely and stocked with toiletries and other supplies. Enjoyed the AC's (one in master bed and one in living area) since the outdoor temps. got to upper 80's. Gated complex was nice with several pools. Missed not having a work out room in the complex.

We really enjoyed our time at the property. We had 6 adults total. The two rooms were great. There was also an air mattress that was pretty comfortable to use. The location is convenient and we had such amazing views. The kitchen was well stocked with plates and cookware so we were able to cook comfortably. There was also some snorkeling gear and an umbrella we borrowed to go to the beach. We will definitely try and stay again on our next trip out to Kona.

We are frequent renters at Kanaloa at Kona and absolutely love the location and complex. In general, we enjoyed our recent stay in this unit (3301), but there were a few notable issues.
First, the positives: The condo was nicely decorated, very clean (see comment below), and in a great location in the complex with beautiful views of He'eia Bay and the inlet to Keauhou Bay.
There were a few issues during our stay, however, that made it less pleasant than most other times we've stayed at Kanaloa:
First, when we first entered the condo, the scent from the cleaning agents used by the cleaning team was absolutely overwhelming. It smelled like high concentration Pine-Sol or something like that. The scent was soo strong that it gave a couple of our guests headaches and they had to stay outside for hours. We opened up all the doors and windows (except when the AC was on), and the smell eventually dissapated after a day or so.
By-far the biggest issue during our visit, is that you cannot set the temperature to your liking when using the AC ... it is either on or off. The temperature is controlled by the owner's guidleines (and was set too high for our liking). Although the instruction binder on the coffee table says that the AC is set to 76 degrees, it was not ... it was set to 78. The property manager had it reduced to 76 the next day, but it was still too hot to sleep comfortably for any of us. I would have much rather paid extra each day to control the temp myself.

The unit had an amazing view. We sat on the Lanai for all our meals, and spent many hours in the mornings watching the kids play in the pool. The complex is lush and well-manicured. The pools and tennis courts are all close to the unit. The unit itself is large and accommodated our family easily. There were plenty of dishes, spices, utensils, paper towels, garbage bags, beach towels, and beach chairs. The owners were very flexible and easy to reach. We were going to need an extended stay if our flights were cancelled due to the recent Hurricane, and they quickly responded to our response and were a great support. Overall, an excellent experience.

The property was clean, well furnished, and in a wonderful location. We enjoyed a beautiful waterfront view every morning when we ate breakfast on the covered porch. The three resort pools made for refreshing relaxation after a day exploring. The condo community was very quiet and peaceful.

This family trip consisted of 3 generations from kiddos to grandparents. We had a wonderful vacation in this beautifully maintained 3 bedroom condo. It was perfectly clean, well stocked with plenty of amenities and highly organized. Communication was clear and timely. Check in / check out was a breeze. The resort grounds were gorgeous. There are stairs to navigate if mobility is a concern. Would definitely return in a heartbeat and hope to do so soon! Thank you for your opening your ohana to our family! Mahalo and aloha!

Could not have asked for a better condo for our family of four (two kids under 10). The location was convenient to the water, shopping and dining options, and golf. Walking out onto the lanai and looking out into the Pacific every morning was the highlight. The Kanaloa at Kona complex has three pools, including one with a beautiful ocean view. The condo was well-apportioned with all of the necessities and there is also a closet full of beach equipment and toys. Would highly recommend and love to stay here again!

My daughters and I rented 3 condos in this resort. All three condos were different and very nice. The Turtle House was unique with the lovely master bedroom on the third floor. I loved this room, and claimed that as my room.
Hopefully when you read this review they will replace the folding beach chairs.
I would come back to the Turtle House in the future

The condo was beautiful and really good location. The owner supplied everything needed for comfort and entertainment. If a vacationer is looking for ocean front property this would be the place. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this condo.

My husband and I stayed at this lovely condo for a month and it was absolutely amazing. The best parts were having coffee on the lanai every morning, the ample space, beautiful decor, and just the ease of feeling at home. The bed slept comfortably, and the A/C kept the space cool. We would love to stay here again in the future.

This is the third time our family has stayed at 2202 at Kanaloa. We love this property and all the amenities it offers. The condo itself is very beautifully appointed and the furnishings are comfortable and make for a relaxing stay. The property managers are top notch and very easy to work with and reach. My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary while we were there and the property manager left a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts for us which was such a treat and was such a nice touch. The condo has everything you need for a wonderful stay. We love coming back here for all our vacations to Hawaii Island!

We spent a few days in early Aug. This condo had everything we wanted in a vacation home.
First, the fabulous ocean view. Enjoyed our morning and evenings seeing people canoe and boats coming in.
A home filled with good quality beach chairs/ towels, snorkels and water shoes. This made our beach visits even better.
The grocery store was minutes away and I could use the kitchen which was well stocked. Just 15min away from Kona, we did the manta ray tour and the Mina kea sunset tours.
Very memorable stay

Great condo for our family of five. Its not easy for us to find accommodations when our boys (21 and 18) refuse to share beds. Well stocked kitchen, items in kitchen such as sandwich bags, paper napkins, etc, made the stay so simple. We enjoyed the lanai and the oceam poolocean

We enjoyed an awesome week in the Big Island anchored by this wonderful condo. The pictures don’t quite do it justice. The view and furnishings are fantastic. Figuring out the A/C was a little tricky (note A/C must be requested specifically and comes at an extra charge) but we did find well-documented instructions in the condo binder after we had gotten it to work and stay on. We didn’t spend much time using the resort amenities as we had daily adventures exploring the island but multiple pools are located close to the unit and the tennis courts were in frequent use by pickleballers. It was great to be able to park steps away from the condo’s front door. An awesome beach for snorkeling is minutes away (by car). We’d highly recommend this unit if you’re looking to stay near Kona.

Our family stayed at this lovely condo for 8 days in July/August and were impressed with the quality of furnishings, upkeep of the condo, and spectacular view. We paid for A/C and it kept the condo perfectly cool! The owner was also very responsive whenever we contacted him. If we ever come back, we would love to stay here again! Absolute paradise!

This is a lovely condo. The views are beautiful. We liked to sit on the balcony/lanai and drink our morning coffee while watching the waves and the early bird golfers. The unit is clean and looks just like the pictures on the listing. The kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils, pans, and appliances you will need. The AC and all the ceiling fans did a great job keeping us cool. We loved our stay here and would definitely come back. Thanks!

First, Darrel and the property manager Mark are awesome to work with, very attentive. The condo had everything you could want from kitchen ware to linens. The 3-bedroom 3 bath worked perfect for our family. The lanai sat 6 comfortably at the table and had two nice lounges to kick back on. We loved our stay; this will be a go to when we are back on Kona. Mahalo
