Very clean - had everything that one could want. In fact, more than we needed. The snorkel beach was so close (about 10 min on foot), we didn't use the pool. Didn't use the BBQ either, but used the kitchen extensively (can't offer any advice on local restaurants). Nice view, especially from the master bedroom lanai. Convenient to the grocery store (walkable if you don't mind the hill). Fairly new, in great condition and well appointed. Some fairly minor disappointments: the bed was too hard for my taste; to get a good picture on the downstairs TV (from cable), you had to make sure that the DVD player was powered off; the crew that maintains the grounds does a good job, but be prepared for the "2 cycle (engine) symphony" 3 days during the week; some residents use their lanais for entering / exting their units, meaning there may well be foot traffic by your lanai (spooked the wife); the burnt wood smell from the fire up the mountain permeated the air every night. Overall, enjoyed my stay, would consider renting again. More...

My husband and I stayed in Unit J2 for 15 nights in October. The condo was absolutely wonderful, exactly like the pictures on the website - very tastefully decorated and fitted out with all the mod cons (it was like staying in a show home)! Thank you for the welcome basket on arrival. Cooking in the kitchen was such a pleasure - it had every utensil you could possibly want for. There were also beach chairs/boogie boards/snorkel equipment etc in the garage for use when visiting the beaches. Also, having laundry facilities inside the condo and a barbecue on the lanai was definitely a bonus.

The gated complex was very quiet, which suited us. The pool area was beautiful and the grounds were very well maintained. It is situated very close, just a little way down the hill, from the Keauhou shopping centre where we used to go the KTA supermarket for our daily newspaper and groceries and which was very reasonably priced (for Hawaii)!

Making reservations for Unit J2 via Aloha Condos was very simple and straightforward and handled efficiently by Bob and Judy(the owners). They were very helpful and emailed the guestbook which contained useful information on both the condo and the island, which assisted in the planning of our vacation. They also advised us on the best options when shopping for groceries, which we were very grateful for.

In summary, our vacation at Unit J2 and the Na Hale O Keauhou complex was brilliant and we are hopefully looking to return again this year.

Everything you need for a quiet Ironman pre race fortnight!

3rd Time is a charm as that how may times we have stayed in this complex. J2 has everything a person could think of right down to your beach chair.Great views and a very quite and well looked after complex. I would not recomend this complex if you are 20's early 30's and looking for long night's on the lani enjoying drinks. It's very quite and any noise is not a good thing.....If your looking to relax.......this is your place.

For our first trip to Hawaii, we couldn't have found a more attractive
and comfortable condo. The owners have gone to great lengths to
provide you with everything you might need and in such an
aesthetically pleasing way, from the cozy sofa to the most comfortable
bed we've found in a rental. It's proximity to a shopping center for
staples, as well as the GREAT Kona snorkeling sites, kept us out of the
car and in the water.

We had a blast!!!

We're already planning our next visit!! More...
