About this property

Kanaloa at Kona 2BR Condo, Perfect Location, Plenty of Room to Relax

Our unit 1002 at Kanaloa provides just the right blend of luxury and value, in an unsurpassed Hawaiian setting. This large (1500+ sq.ft.) and elegant condo is situated on the north edge of the Kanaloa complex, facing the Kona Country Club course about 100 yards off the ocean. It's an ideal setting for fun family vacations or tranquil getaways. If you have stayed at other condo complexes in Kona, you'll be struck by the large size of this unit, as well as the traffic-free environment. We've just completed master bathroom renovation, plus recent kitchen and living room upgrades. It's looking better than ever!

The Castle Kanaloa at Kona resort is famous for its gorgeous tropical landscaping and peaceful ambiance. Kanaloa features three swimming pools with spas, and lighted tennis courts. The 17-acre resort grounds are spacious and quiet, and the coastline is spectacular as Pacific waves break on black lava rock. The surrounding Keauhou Bay area is rich in Hawaiian history, and makes for pleasant walking. Here you are free from the traffic and congestion along Ali'i Drive, but still just minutes away from downtown Kailua-Kona.

The unit is comfortably furnished, island style. You will find a king bed in the master suite and two twin beds (or queen conversion) in the second bedroom. We also have a new queen size, plug-in aero-bed for comfortable sleeping in the living room. There's cable TV and an Apple media player in the living room, and a Bose music player. Fast wifi is available throughout. In the kitchen you'll find everything you need (we just added to or upgraded available cookware, tableware and appliances.)

The large, shady lanai is perfect for morning coffee or evening dining, with lovely garden and mountain views. Then walk out to the ocean pool, or along the rocky shoreline to watch the sunset.

We have owned and managed this unit since 2001, and are committed to quality and fairness. A number of guests come back for extended stays again and again. We live off-island, but our local representative (and the great Kanaloa maintenance department) are always available if need arises. Please contact Scott or Jen if you have any questions, and let us help you plan your trip to the Big Island. Mahalo!

Fantastic location
We had a wonderful time staying in Scott & Jenn’s condo. So comfortable for us and our 2 boys (17 & 20) our 6’3” 17 year old was so happy for a bed to fit his length. It’s a great quiet location, kitchen is very well stocked. You do need a car but getting around is super easy. If we come back to Kona would definitely stay again.

Excellent spot for a family stay
Had a nice, smooth, and comfortable stay in Kona. The unit was just right for our family. The grounds are well maintained and the Lanai is very nice in the morning. Enjoyed the beach with some of the beach gear available to us. The directions and guide sent in email are worth reviewing to find out good "local" spots.

Well Equipped and Great Location
We had a blast staying here! We were able to enjoy so many activities close to this location- snorkeling just 5 minutes away, and we loved having the boogie boards to take to the sandy beaches further north. Sitting by the pool at sunset was amazing. The place was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Scott was responsive to our requests and overall a great stay. This was our second time staying here and we’ll be back!

Great place to stay!
We fortunately got to stay in this condo for 2 weeks. The location is great and everything you need is within a short car ride. (Or walk!) Scott was a great host with quick communication. The condo was equipped with all that we needed, including a brand new pack n’ play. We enjoyed the use of the beach chairs, toys, and snorkel gear. Enjoying a morning coffee on lanai while watching the golfers was a relaxing way to start our day. We definitely would stay here again!

Beautiful sunsets
Roomy, comfortable condo. This is a downstairs unit. Consider checking fridge & cupboard before a big shop to see what's there (cooking oil, soy sauce, etc). Nicely appointed kitchen. Comfy beds. Short drive to main shops & places to eat along Ali'i, with a few even closer.

Great stay in Kona!
We had a great stay at Scott's condo! It is very large, air conditioned and has a fully equipped kitchen. We loved the layout and location of the Kanaloa Kona resort...quiet, beautiful grounds and an excellent pool overlooking the ocean. We preferred it to those right on Alli'i drive that appeared busy and cramped. Supermarket and drug store 5 minutes away and a short drive to the hustle and bustle of the nearby town. We got all of our food and some of the cleaning and paper products we needed at nearby Target very reasonably. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice and Very Convienient
Location is great and check in was pretty easy. The parking is a walk to the unit but is covered. This unit is huge and very nicely furnished. I wish they had a TV is the master bedroom. Internet was good and the kitchen was nice. So much equipment to use in the kitchen. Refrig is going to be replaced and the owner is very responsive. I will be doing a detailed review with pictures online.

Amazingly beautiful
My family and I were here for my sons wedding. We arrived late to the place after a long day of travel and security was so sweet and kind for helping us find our condo to get some sleep. And let us finish checking in the next morning. Kona is a beautiful place. And our stay here made it, the place was clean plenty of room for a family great place for kids there’s plenty to do even on the grounds here pools tennis ping pong beautiful walking distance beaches. Groceries and restaurants not even a ten minute walk. Huge Balcony and view of the golf course never gets old. Everything was included to have a wonderful stay. Very peaceful here. Friendly people all around. Would definitely stay here again!

Condo with a view
This was our third time to the Big Island and we wanted a place with air conditioning. Very nice condo with well stocked kitchen. The only complaint about the kitchen was the lack of a functioning ice maker. The master bedroom had a very comfortable bed and the bathrooms were very nice. Only downside is maybe a hand held shower head in the master bath since the water pressure in the shower wasn't great. The provided beach towels were a plus, but if there were more than two people, more towels would be needed. When we come back to the Big Island next time, this place will definitely be on our short list of places to stay. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Norris

Host profile image
The Norris family has been traveling to Hawaii for years. We have listed this great Kanaloa at Kona condo on VRBO since we purchased it in 2001.

Why they chose this property

We have stayed at many places in Kona and we looked at everything on the market. Kanaloa at Kona simply stood out from the rest, and as soon as we saw this unit the decision was easy. For overall size and quality, plus the great location and expansive setting, Kanaloa is tops.

What makes this property unique

For us one of the big things is traffic--or lack of it, when staying at Kanaloa. We have rented ocean view units at the Bali Kai and others where you get a nice view--from the living room. But in 2BR units the second bedroom may be facing the street! Step outside in those places and there's nowhere to walk or run except up and down the bike lane on Ali'i Drive. So we love Kanaloa where you can step outside and walk barefoot on lawns down to the shoreline, or stroll along the oceanfront or over to the nearby marina.
