The Best Family Vacation
 |
 |
After spending 10 days at Kanaloa at Kona unit #2002, no one wanted to come home. This condo came with everything we could have asked for and then some. In the kitchen there were plenty of dishes, pots, pans, utensils, spices and even a coffee grinder for our morning Kona coffee. There were beach towels, coolers, chairs, boogie boards, snorkel's and many other beach toys for us to use. Our two boys ages 13 and 9 shared one of the beadrooms and bathrooms and had plenty of room to spread out. Our bedroom was very spacious and had more than enough space to put our things. I had every intention of using the jacuzzi tub in the evenings but could never tear myself away from the most amazing views we had from our lanai. Three sets of binoculars from the condo gave us all plenty of time to watch the whales jump in the water and whatever else happened to catch our eyes each day. We as a family spent a couple of hours every night out on our lanai, listening to the waves, watching the boats, and playing games such as yahtzee, dominoes and cards. These games were in our condo when we got there. What a great idea. Anyone with middle aged children will understand what I mean when I say it was great to get back to the basics. Things get so crazy back home with school, sports, and all the activities, that it was so nice to have family time again. The boys loved it and so did we. We used the pools at Kanaloa several times as our youngest found out that sea urchins kind of freak him out a bit so the ocean was not his best friend. We played tennis, grilled out on the BBQ's, and enjoyed the virgin lava flows from the restaurant and bar at Kanaloa. There is a big screen T.V. in the living room that we turned on only a couple of times to watch the big Island channel and the weather. The washer and dryer were also very usefull. Whenever we return to Hawaii, this will be the only place we will stay at as it was nothing less than spectacular.

Outstanding Ocean Views
|
|
Our family loved this unit. The Ocean views were outstanding. We saw whales and dolphins from the patio. Our grandson enjoyed the pool. I rented it for the wheel chair lift, but could not get it to work. The condo key would not fit the lift lock. Fortunately I did not have to use a wheel chair during our stay. Our contact was very helpful in allowing us to extend checkout time so the grandson could get in his much needed afternoon nap.

We Can't Wait to Return
|

This was our second stay at Kanaloa at Kona and the first in Unit 2002. This condo is outstanding in every way - oceanfront (a rarity on the Big Island), private, quiet, elegantly furnished and spotlessly clean. There were numerous thoughtful, small touches - books to read, games, candles (we enjoyed several lovely candlelit dinners on the oceanfront deck), viewing telescopes, etc. This is a two bedroom, two bath unit and is quite spacious. The master bedroom and bathroom are quite large and there is plenty of storage for golf bags, snorkel gear, etc. The grounds at Kanaloa are well maintained. There are grills conveniently located nearby and the pools are clean (although they are small). We booked through Aloha Condos (for the second time); they are professional and quite straighforward. We had no interface with the Outrigger Kanaloa office, so I cannot comment there. We can't wait to return to Unit 2002! Enjoy.

Beautiful oceanfront condo with views that take your breath! We watched sunsets nightly, whales playing off the balcony and loved every second of our stay. Kanaloa at Kona is without a doubt old hawaii at its best and this condo is one of the premier condos at the resort.

Great 20th Wedding Anniversary vacation & great Marlin Fishing!

We had a fabulous time, and were blown away by the accomodation. The condo was beautiful and completely stocked with everyting anyone could ask for including, every spice you could think of, CD's DVD's, candles, & every kind of beach-fun need & binaculars. A beautiful lanai overlooking the ocean with an outside counter/sink and patio set. These owners made us feel like close personal friends. We could not have been more satisfied. Oh, and we caught a 130.5 lb. marlin!

Wonderful Ocean Views - Sunsets
|

By the Hoerdum Rossavik Family (Mom, Dad and 3 boys) We loved this condo, stayed there for 4 days in May 2009 (could have stayed for 10 yrs). Wonderful view of the ocean, interior of condo was amazeing (my wife even said she couldn't have decorated it better herself). Spotless clean. Owners had done every thing posible to make you feel welcome. Resort grounds very well maintained. GO GO... PS Loved Hawaii (our first visit, but certainly not last)

A Great Experience
|
|
Our stay at the Kanaloa condo was outstanding. Unit 2002 was exactly as described and pictured on the website. The location directly at the water's edge was truly outstanding - just sitting on the lanai and watching the surf crash on the lava was both a real treat and very relaxing. We especially enjoyed dining on the lanai at sunset! The condo was immaculate and absolutely fully equipped - we especially appreciated the beach accessories including towels, mats and coolers. The complex grounds were immaculate and our arrival process was quick and painless. We enjoy a quiet environment when we vacation and this complex was especially so. We also took full advantage of the BBQ facilities at the complex. Overall, a completely satisfying and high-value experience! We would add that our email interactions with Mr. Buser were prompt and completely informative!

We had a great time exploring the island from our temporary home. The condo was spacious and clean with nice Zen touches. We loved sitting on the lanai and hearing the ocean throughout the unit
