1801 is a spacious condo with an oustanding panoramic view. The unit sits right on the "beach",abuts against coastal lava rock and is oriented such that there is complete privacy on the lanai. Crashing waves, smell of the sea, sunsets---really, who wouldn't love that?
The complex is nicely situated geographically if you have teenagers since it is easy to walk to downtown Kona, surfing, swimming.
Master BR is roomy and uncluttered with a large high quality flat screen TV that also houses a DVD player. Smaller bedroom is indeed a smaller bedroom. Two beds. Little else. Would work very well with younger children. We had two teenage boys. Thankfully, overcrowding in that room led to bloodshed only once.
Kitchen is good sized, plenty of "stuff." Living room furniture is outdated, seating is limited and couch/chairs are not particularly comfortable. Older TV, maybe 30 inches with picture quality consistent with an older TV that is 30 inches. This room is not totally unacceptable in a vacation locale where being outside is the attraction, but upgrading the living room furnishings to a much more comfortable, perhaps even a present century decor would be ideal.
If you feel like coming back to a cool condo after a hot day in the sun (in August) look elsewhere. The air-conditioning system, for which you pay a surchage, is completely ineffective. Running 24/7 kept the temperature approx 78-80 degrees at night, 85 or so during the day. Without a doubt, this was the most disappointing aspect of the home.
In summary, great oceanfront location tucked into a private corner of the complex with a magnificent view; many nice features, but sorely in need of a cash infusion to repair/replace air conditioning and update living area furnishings. These upgrades would easily make this unit outstanding inside and out, rather than a unit you'd find simply acceptable in exchange for its marvelous setting just feet from the Pacific. |

| We recently went to Kanaloa at Kona for the 2nd time. This time we stayed water front in 1801. We loved the stay and the rooms were very nicely updated. twins in 2nd bedroom a little squeaky were the only complaint. pools and facility are very well taken care of. thanks for the beautiful accommodations. Would return in a heartbeat. |

Beautiful Ocean Front Condo, recently renovated |
Reviewed by: Black Butte from Sisters, Oregon
Reviewed on: 08/06/2009 for their stay in 07/2009

| Great place to stay, our second time there. The two bedrooms are of good size and the new master bath is beautiful. Close enough to Kona and shopping but far enough away so it is quiet and peaceful. The entire complex is very well cared for with pools and barbecues for you to use. Make sure to pay for the air conditioning. I think my only suggestion would be to improve the reception on the living room TV (the master bedroom TV is cool with a built in DVD player) and to improve the small appliances and cooking utensils in the kitchen. The kitchen itself is neat with new granite counters. |

| We stayed in Unit 1801 for 3 nights in late July. The unit has an incredible ocean view from the lanai. The kitchen is fully furnished with everything you need for your stay. Shopping is conveniently close to stock up on food for your stay. The unit could have been cleaned a little better before our arrival, but overall it was a great stay for our family of 4. |

| This is a wonderful condo. I wish I lived here! You cannot get more ocean-front without being in the ocean. Our evenings were spent watching the sunset, looking at the stars and listening to the waves. We never ate out at night, we either cooked or got take-out as we couldn't imagine having a better view. There is a wet bar on the lanai, too, so that was nice! The floor plan is perfect. Spacious, with an open kitchen that was beautiful and has everything you could ever need. Large tile runs throughout the condo and keeps it nice and cool. The furnishings were very nice as well. The master bedroom is large with a very nice bathroom (awesome shower with 2 showerheads). The 2nd bedroom good-sized too. (There is also a pull-out bed in living room) It is a very quiet area, so with the windows open, you could hear the waves at night. Couple that with a very comfortable bed made for some of the best sleep we have ever had. We opted not to use the a/c, and with the windows and lanai open, there was a wonderful breeze. At night, it was cool and very comfortable. During the day, it was warm, but not bad at all. None of us minded, we weren't in Hawaii to be in a/c the whole time. The furnishings were very nice. There is a kid-friendly pool and adults-only pool on the property. As we only went to the kid-friendly one, I can tell you it was very nice and never crowded. The grounds were very well maintained. There is a grill very close to the condo as well. It really was perfect and it felt like you were coming home when you came back to the condo. The next time we come to the big island, we will stay here. |

Holiday at Kona |

We stayed at this complex years ago and found this unit online. The price was right and the unit very nice. The lanai was great. The May weather was great & w/ fans, no A/C was desired. There were some beach chairs and stuff to borrow & we left the boogie board we bought. The kitchen was well outfitted, although we brought a few sharp knives for cooking. If you kitchen clean with a cloth, not sponge, bring one with you. There's a coffee maker that needs #4 filters. They need a few more smaller acrylic glasses for pool/small kid use, but plastic cups can be bought at the store too. There's a nice gas bbq and grassy area with table/chairs not too far away for those eat-in days.
The tennis courts are in good shape. The pools are never busy, but the pool nazi leaves you in the dark without warning after posted hours.
There's no beach right there, but not too bad a drive. Washer/dryer is helpful for beach towels.
We'll be here next time we're in HI! |

We spent a wonderful few days and had a great time. This is
the first time that we stayed in a vacation rental home instead of a hotel -- and it was perfect.The condo is closer to the sea then any hotel.

Aloha
The condo is beautiful and spacious. Two couples stayed and enjoyed the amenities of the condo, resort and area. The condo was completly updated.
Our balcony had an unobtructed view of the ocean and sunsets. We saw dolphins 3 times!
The pool was clean and warm and was never crowded. Unfortunately the restaurant and bar next to the pool was not in service.
the area is quiet by only minutes away from the Kailua Kona.
We would highly recommend this condo and will most likely stay there on our next visit

| My wife and I spent four nights in this beautiful condominium and had a great time. It is located right on the ocean and has a great lanai for viewing the setting sun. Unit was well decorated and we particularly liked the fact that all floors were ceramic tile - very cool and easy to keep clean. Our only complaint was we occasionally heard noise from upstairs and next door neighbors. |

We loved this condo. There were only two of us who actually stayed here, but it was the hub for our whole family, part of which stayed in another condo. The location was perfect and the lanai was heavenly. This was our slice of paradise for a week.
The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials and there were boogie boards and pool noodles available, too. Furniture was fine, the unit has been tastefully remodeled and is nicely decorated. We were very comfortable. Thanks for everything! |

We had been going to Kauai and decided to try the Big Island. Our condo at Kanaloa was perfect for what we wanted to do.
It was large, well appointed and in a wonderful location. We were a bit surprised that we had to pay extra for air conditioning but all other expenses were in line with what we had paid for other condos.
We highly recommend this property. |

Our stay at this condo was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. There's nothing like getting up in the morning, making a cup of coffee, and sitting on the lanai relaxing to the sound of the surf and the sight of the ocean!
The condo was well-supplied, clean, and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful, clean, and peaceful.
This was definitely the best place we've stayed at in our three trips to the islands. We're spoiled now!
The only thing that would have made our stay better was if the complex had a bar/restaurant. Still, the drive to town wasn't all that far.
We can't wait until we have the opportunity to return. |

We stayed at this condo twice, in 2006 and 2008. It was remodeled
between our visits, improving on what was already a lovely place to stay. It
has two bedrooms. The master suite is large with a big bathroom and a
Jaccuzzi hot tub. The lanai overlooks the ocean--you hear it 24/7, very
relaxing with beautiful sunsets. 2nd bathroom is also large. Great kitchen,
dishwasher, big refrigerator. Washer and dryer work well. Beautiful grounds
and pools. Read our review plus others on Trip Advisor--we rented the
condo based on those reviews and pictures online.
