Kanaloa at Kona 203 Guest Reviews

Below are some comments on my condo from my guests starting in 1998 (bottom) with the more recent comments at the top.  Thank you to all of my guests for your comments - Jim

Our experience in Hawaii was incredible. It is very far for us but worth every minute of it. Your condo is extremely nice. We would not rent any other condo if we go back to Big Island. It is beautiful, very quiet and secluded, extremely clean and comfortable. We woke up every morning to the sound of the birds. I miss it a lot just thinking about it. We will definitely recommend it to all of our friends and family here in the Montreal area. Your local contact was also very helpful to us in many ways. I feel very lucky to have discovered your condo and this destination and we hope to be coming back in a couple of years.

We really had a great time staying in your condo. After a tough day at the beach or on the golf course it was nice to combe back to and relax- BBQ, hit the pool or watch the sunset. Thanks for the welcome basket - your condo is beautiful. We're sad we have to head back to the snowy mountians of Colorado, but hopefully we'll be back soon.

We enjoyed your beautiful condo very much and thank you for the welcome basket to let us feel the start of a joyful stay here. The collection of the videos pleased the kids and that of books pleased us. It was always nice to come back to the condo to rest and sleep well.

We've had a wonderful vacation in your condo. Such a nice place to come home to after a day of running around. We really enjoyed how quiet it is and loved watchng the golfers or hackers, whichever happened to go by. We definately will rent again next year. I love all the decor. Palm trees everywhere, my favorite. You provided everything we needed and very clean too.

We had a lovely time. Your place is perfect and in a great location. All the amenities are a plus. We lacked for nothing. Coming back to "paradise" and staying here spoiled us. Thank you for everything.

- J and G, Dunlap, Illinois USA

January 2006

Magnifique! That is how a French born person like myself would qualify the week we spent in #203 at Kanaloa. Tom and I come to Hawaii nearly every year. We own two timeshares at Kona Coast. Our stay here however was a real treat. We enjoyed the comfort of a house, the island decorations, the location, the "garden" atmosphere of the complex and much more. Thank you for having us and we hope to stay here again in 07 or 08. Merci and Aloha.

- T and E, Eugene, Oregon, USA

We have stayed at Kanaloa many times but as soon as we entered your condo we knew this time was very different. Your condo is so lovely with everything we could possibly need. We felt so "at home". Thanks for the welcome basket which was the frosting on a delicious cake. We'll be back.

September 2005

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. We felt like we were in the lap of luxury. Every inch is such a joy with the way it's decorated. We are a family of a mom, dad, son (6 yr. old) and grandma. Everyone enjoyed the Big Island with trips to the volcano, coffee farms, Place of Refuge, and lots of swimming in the ocean you can't do to that in Oregon unless you have a wetsuit!).

- M Family, Coos Bay, Oregon USA

August 2005

Thanks for the wonderful welcome basket greeting us upon arrival. Jim, your condo was fantastic! We certainly settled in just like home. Thanks for a wonderful location to experience the Big Island.

- P Family, Muscatine, Iowa, USA

July 2005

If my handwriting is a little shaky it's because we've just returned from snorkeling across the Kealakekua Bay to Captain Cook's monument (and back again). Took and hour each way but was a fabulous adventure. We saw spinner dolphins 50 feet away! Thanks for the welcome basket. We enjoyed the pineapple from Captain Cooks dock. The condo is wonderful. Two years ago we stayed in the complex on the ocean side, but I like the golf course view as much if not more. Mahalo!

- J and B, Irvine, California, USA

July 2005

We had a fantastic honeymoon in your condo. The Big Island was full of adventure from the volcano to snorkeling. Thanks for your hospitality and for keeping such a well stocked comfortable accomodation.

- M and J, Teaneck, New Jersey USA

July 2005

Your condo is truly fabulous!! You have all the things we needed. Couldn't ask for more. When we go back to New York and think about the Big Island again, your condo will definatley be part of our sweet memories. Mahalo for being so considerate!

- P and S, Kew Garden Hills, New York, USA

Aloha. We are sad that our wonderful vacation is ending, but will cherish the memories of the Big Island. Your spacious, clean and well stocked condo was fabulous! Mahalo for the welcome gift and sharing your place with us

- P. and J., Lovelock, Nevada, USA

We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation. The weather was in the 80's every day. We enjoyed our trip to Volcanos NP and it is worth the trip. We went on a Sunday so the traffic was light. Thank you!

- K. and R., Sudbury, Massachusetts, USA

March 2005

We loved the condo! Our favorite family outing was Hapuna Beach. Volcano NP was a close second, although a long day trip. Now we know why the pass is for 7 days! Thanks for thinking of everything in your beautiful condo.

- W. Family, Oceanside, California, USA

March 2005

What a lovely place you have - we're really enjoying our stay here. We went to see the lava flow at Volcanoes NP. A very long drive but well worth it. Wish we could be here longer. Thanks for sharing your condo with us.

- G. Family, Inverness, Illinois, USA

Wholly Kona Batman! Can you say "Thought of everything". We couldn't ask for anything more. Paradise has been found. Off to Maui and Napili Bay.

I've been meaning to write or call to express our sincere delight with Kanaloa.  It was the perfect set-up for the 4 of us and I can't wait to go back!  We really appreciated all the extras you have included - the beach chairs, buckets, towels, artwork - not to mention the kitchen!  We had a perfect vacation and as soon as we can plan another trip, I will be contacting you!  Thank you again, especially for the late check-out before our red-eye!

- J.N., Spokane, Washington, USA

Our stay at your condominium at Kanaloa on the Big Island was a fine experience.  We enjoyed ourselves as we always have in times past.  We look forward to staying with you again in the future.  The new flooring and furniture were certainly enjoyable!

- W.F., Salem, Oregon, USA

February 2004

We have returned to the land of ice and snow after a wonderful week on the Big Island.  Our stay in #203 more than met our expectations.  We were very comfortable there and loved sitting at the patio table watching the golfers, birds and animals.  Our main recreation was snorkeling.  We found many spots to look at the fish including the boat trip to Captain Cook's monument.  As well, we drove around the island visiting Volcano, Hilo and Akaka Falls.  Many thanks for the hospitality.  Perhaps in the future we could stay in one of your places on another island.  Aloha.

February 2004

We had a FABULOUS time.  Thank you for your attention to detail and your hospitality.  Loved the Big Island and your unit.   By far the best place we've stayed!  We will definitely recommend you to our friends and we hope that we can return - or visit another of your places!  We loved having the comforts of home - without the clutter and mess!   We appreciate your thoroughness and efficiency.

- B.Z., Seattle, Washington, USA

We loved condo 203.  We have wonderful memories.  We wouldn't think of staying anywhere else.  Mahalo.

- M.M., The Woodlands, Texas, USA

It was our first time to the Big Island.  Everybody can see, that you have spent lots of time updating the condo.  It has become a lovely condo with all amenities!  We enjoyed the Island and the place. Mahalo.

- E. & E., Gais, Switzerland

This was our first trip to the Big Island as a couple.  We were just married and yes, we spent our honeymoon here in #203!  Were were at Waikaloa Valley (Hilton) for the first half.  We were a little sad to leave there, but when we saw this condo, we were very encouraged.  It was better than the Hilton (which says a lot), because it felt like home.  We loved it so much, that we just bought a condo ourselves today - at a nearby resort.  I guess that means that we won't be back, but you inspired us with your accommodations.  Mahalo and God Bless!

- K. & J., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Enjoyed the condo immensely.  The decor put us right into "island mode".  The lava flow at Volcano National Park was awesome - how many times in a lifetime does one get to experience that!  We came to relax and that is what we accomplished.  Thanks for opening up the condo.  PS - Sunsets were awesome too!

- J. T. & K., Pleasant Hill, California, USA

What a wonderful stay we had here at KAK!  The condo was well equipped and oh so comfy!  Thanks for everything!!

- A., W., J. & A., El Dorado Hills & Sacramento, California, USA

This condo made our first visit to Hawaii an absolutely wonderful experience.  It has everything we could need.  It's convenient to everything.  The whole experience is just perfect.  Will definitely recommend and come back again.

- P., L. & E., Scarsdale, New York, USA

I want to personally thank you for a wonderful stay at your condo.  Your attention to detail and cheery decor was a welcomed experience.  It was a family vacation we will never forget, the best of memories.... Thanks again.

- J. J., Yorba Linda, California, USA

This is our third visit to the islands and your condo is the most comfortable home away from home we've experienced.  You've taken care of everything and made our visit easy.

- S. & K., Phoenix, Arizona, USA

We've absolutely loved our first stay in Hawaii.  Choosing an island, much less the accommodations, was a hugely difficult decision.  I don't think we could have chosen better!  Kona is wonderful and your condo is perfect!  We can't wait to visit again.

- T. & J., Peoria, Arizona, USA

We had a wonderful time here in the Big Island.  We enjoyed fishing and swimming.  We caught a 419 1/2 pound Blue Marlin.  That was very exciting.  The condo was very nice.  We would like to come back.

- D., M., D. & D., Folsum, California, USA

Thanks for a wonderful experience.  Everything was so thoughtful.  Mahalo.

- J. & A., Yorba Linda, California, USA

Wonderful decor.  You thought of everything!!

- L. & P., Los Gatos, California, USA

What a wonderful condo - and home away from home.  Loved all of your special "little touches" as well as the privacy and serenity.  We certainly enjoyed awaking each morning to the "concert" from the many birds.  All the sights and sounds have been memorable.  Thanks for sharing.

- C. & S., Bellevue, Washington, USA

You've made our maiden visit as a family a most comfortable one.  What a lovely place and the island's nice too!

- J. & G., Singapore

I did indeed have a wonderful time at Kanaloa.   Your condo is very well appointed, the landscaping at Kanaloa is a luscious marvel, our breakfast on the deck facing the course were very relaxing as we watched the duffers and golfers come by.   Dinner at Edwards was very satisfying.   I'll certainly recommend you to my friends.

- P.M., Novato, California, USA

3rd time on the islands, 1st on the Big Island and by far the best accommodations!  It was wonderful to get away from the snow and bitter cold wind and enjoy the beaches and tour the island.

- E., S., V., & P., University Heights, Ohio, USA

Jim and Kathryn...thank you so very much for opening up your home to all who have stayed here.  Mahalo!!  We stayed up at Waikaloa for the first 5 days, and while it was nice, the best part of our trip was here in #203.  To make your own meals, enjoy the pools, the people and this lovely place...heaven :-)  My husband had golf on the TV, and out the window!  I was at the pool meeting great people from all over.  Aloha to all!!

- J. & C., Redmond, Washington, USA

Thank you for providing such a wonderful condo.  Everything was here and the location was great.  It isn't often a condo has a kitchen as well equipped and almost as big as home!!  This was a wonderful place to come home to after a day of hiking, snorkeling, etc.  Our 3rd time to the Big Island and we still have lots to discover, so we'll be back.  Mahalo!

- H. & J., Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

Our 3rd visit to the Big Island, our 2nd to Kanaloa and our 1st to #203.  We really enjoyed the location and decor of the condo.  We hope to return and will recommend it to our friends.

Really enjoyed this wonderful place - the condo had everything we needed. 1st time to the Big Island - we loved it.  Great setting, beautiful sunsets, nice pools and wonderful snorkeling.  Mahalo,

- D & S., Ham Lake, Minnesota, USA

The condo was fabulous! Everything we needed is here.  The boys enjoyed using the boogie board, we used the mats at the beach.  Videos were welcomed at night.  Watched the golfers - we are such critics!  We would love to return ..weather was perfect.

- B., C., J. & P., Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA

What a great place!  We don't want to go home!  The weather was great, the condo was great, as was the location of it.  Mahalo, we won't forget this place.

- J., D., N. & R., Dundas, Ontario, Canada

What a wonderful place! We loved the space to stretch out.  The trees, birds, sun...this is heaven.

We enjoyed the peacefulness of this condo - away from the crowds and all.

A great week!  Perfect accommodation, great golf; relaxation and renewed health.  We lacked for nothing at home in '203'.

I did indeed have a wonderful time at Kanaloa.  Your condo is very well appointed, the landscaping at Kanaloa is a luscious marvel, our breakfast on the deck facing the course were very relaxing as we watched the duffers and golfers come by.  Dinner at Edwards was very satisfying.  I'll certainly recommend you to my friends.

- P.M., Novato, California, USA

Just wanted to drop you a note of thanks for the excellent accommodations on the Big Island condo.  The condo was very spacious, extremely well provisioned and all the extras were a very nice added touch (all the videos, beach accessories, etc.).  We are extremely pleased about our stay at your condo, intend to recommend it to our friends and would be happy to be a reference for you.  You will definitely be our first choice next time we come to the Big Island.  Thanks again for running a first rate operation.

- D., J., J., & A., Michigan, USA

We loved our stay at Kanaloa - the condo is great - comfortable, well equipped and tastefully decorated. It was quiet at the resort which was fine with us - there were often days when we were the only people at one of the pools.  Didn't see as much of the island as we planned partly because we were so happy at Kanaloa.  Thanks again.

- F.G., British Columbia, Canada

We loved the condo!!  It was so nice to have a home here on the Big Island.  Everything we needed was right here.  Thank you so much for sharing.

- R.C., England, UK

We had an absolutely wonderful time here on Hawaii.  We loved your condo - it is lovingly cared for, very private, spacious and nicely decorated.  We felt very comfortable here and very happy to do business with you.

- L & D, New Jersey, USA

After a week in Honolulu, this was a welcome change. Who would have guessed the best snorkeling was only one half mile away. That was the highlight of our vacation. We'll definitely recommend your beautiful condo to our friends.

- M.D., Colorado, USA

We enjoyed exploring this island with your wonderful home as our base.  It's been a week and were settled in and could easily stay another.  We went to Waipio Valley, drove around the island, visited the volcano and, of course, snorkeled and swam.  We say sea turtles in the little bay from the beach access one half block from here.

- M & J, California, USA

We've had a great time here.  The apartment has been a great base for all of our trips and a comfortable place to return to with everything we needed.  The kids liked the videos and we watched one or two ourselves.  We'd recommend cocktails at Edwards while watching the sunset.

- S & J, Portland, OR, USA

Nice, spacious condo. Everything we needed was right here. Would recommend to friends. Thanks for thinking of all the little things (coolers, beach chairs, guide books, etc.).

- H & D, Indiana, USA

Just a short note to tell you how very much we enjoyed your lovely condo.  We have stayed in several others on Molokai, Kauai, California, etc., and none can compare to yours.  You have truly made it a "home away from home". Thanks so much.

- T & N, Vancouver, BC, Canada

We have stayed in Kanaloa at Kona often but these have been the nicest accommodations. Thank you for making the unit so attractive.

- J & R, Washington, USA

Thank you for the wonderful accommodations.  My husband, son and I had an absolutely terrific time on the Big Island, and we really enjoyed staying in your condo at Kanaloa. The condo was beautifully decorated, well maintained, private and comfortable -- it exceeded our expectations.  Our vacation on Hawaii was really special.

- L.M., New Jersey, USA

We loved the condo - very relaxing and a great get away from home!  The tranquility and Hawaiian feel here at Kanaloa was just what we were looking for.

- P & J, Vancouver, B.C., Canada

Our favorite trip to the Islands so far.  We loved staying here and look forward to our next trip.  The condo is wonderful and we loved eating at Edward's.
