About this property

Kalanikai 118 – Highly Walkable!

Summary:

Aloha! Planning your Hawaii Vacation just got a lot easier as you’ve found the perfect place! Kalanikai 118 is located in the desirable Kailua-Kona right along the shores of the Big Island’s west coast.



The Space:

A beautifully refreshed condo in the heart of Kailua-Kona. This comfortable island retreat is within walking distance of beaches, restaurants, shopping, farmers markets, nightlife, and the Kailua Pier, where you can enjoy snorkeling, swimming, fishing, diving, and other ocean activities.



The community features a sparkling swimming pool, shaded barbecue area, and lush tropical landscaping. For your beach days, we provide 2 beach chairs, 1 cooler, and beach towels.



The fully equipped kitchen includes cookware, dishes, utensils, and everything needed to prepare meals at home. Enjoy your morning coffee or meals at the kitchen island, or relax in the living room with a Smart TV after a day of exploring the Big Island.



Sleeping Arrangements



This condo comfortably accommodates 2 adults and 2 children.



Primary bedroom with a King-size bed and Smart TV

Queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room



IMPORTANT - Please Read About the Floor Plan



This condo has a unique bathroom layout that may not be suitable for all groups.



The bathroom is located directly next to the bedroom and is accessed through a small hallway. The bedroom has a standard locking door. The hallway and bathroom area are separated from the living room and kitchen by a sliding barn door.



Please note:



There is only one bathroom in the condo.

Guests sleeping on the sleeper sofa in the living room must pass through the hallway area to access the bathroom.

The bathroom door can be locked from the inside while in use.

The bedroom has its own separate door that can also be closed for privacy.



While many guests find this layout comfortable and functional, travelers seeking complete separation between the bedroom, bathroom, and living areas may find this floor plan less private than a traditional one-bedroom condo. We want all guests to be fully aware of the layout before booking to ensure it meets their needs.



THINGS TO NOTE:

• Washer and dryer in home.

• Dedicated parking available for 1 vehicle.

• This is a ground floor unit with a step into the unit.

• Air conditioning only in the living room/kitchen. The air conditioning system is programmed to maintain a minimum temperature of 75°F.

• No on-site office for checking-in or making requests.

• Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the property, on the premises, and in any nearby common areas. Violations will result in an automatic $500 fine, plus any additional costs for carpet and upholstery cleaning or other damages caused.



This condo is centrally located and provides easy driving distances to many of the Big Island’s attractions. Anaeho’omalu Bay and the Waikoloa Resort area are 40 minutes away where you can enjoy amazing snorkeling along coral reefs or take leisurely strolls along a mile-long white sand beach or the secluded coves among rows of coconut palms and ancient Hawaiian fishponds. Mountain and sea canyon hiking can also be found nearby. Several National Parks are within 0.5 to 1 hours drive from the condo. The famous Volcanoes National Park is a beautiful 2 hour scenic drive away.



When in Hawaii, make sure you also dive into the unique culture of Kona, where coffee shops source beans straight from Kona coffee farms, Big Wave Golden Ale is brewed fresh at the Kona Brewpub, and local farmers markets are teeming with artisan goods and just-harvested produce.



• For stays extending 30 nights or more, a security deposit and utility fee will be required. The security deposit ensures the protection of the property during your stay, while the utility fee covers essential services such as electricity and any damages that are caused by guests.

These terms help us maintain the quality and comfort of our vacation rentals for all guests.



Details:

- Security Deposit: Refundable after the stay, pending inspection

- Utility Fee: Covers utilities for extended stays

- 30+ Nights: Required for long-term short-term vacation rentals

Nice Condo in a Great Location

Property was clean and very conveniently located inside Kona. Had plenty of room to chill out comfortably during a very busy stay.

Easy walk to food and shops, quiet complex. The only funky thing is the bedroom door is in the bathroom area, so privacy was hard with multiple people staying. Not terrible, just something to know.

Beautiful

The condo exceeded our expectations! Very beautiful and the in-suite washer/dryer was a huge plus. The grounds are very well kept and having access to a BBQ by the pool (also well kept) made the stay even better. Nice proximity to the ocean and shops - very walkable. Host (Grand Welcome) was very accommodating to our inquiries and requests - would definitely stay here again given the opportunity!

Pls stay away from booking this home! A third party manages it, and it's painful to interact with them! The home doesn’t have a toilet door which was not listed when we booked the property! Without having a toilet door, we checked out with an hour of check-in/same day! The whole house has a lingering Smell which is not common in other properties and just doesn't go away! We had to find another property at the last minute! It's not suitable for a family at all!

Mahalo, Anjali, for your feedback. When you reported a strong urine odor after check-in, we immediately sent our cleaner and inspector to the unit. Upon arrival, the cleaner confirmed that no urine smell was present. She thoroughly cleaned the floors and checked the amenities in the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, all of which had already been used after your check-in. Additionally, the bedroom comforter and living room couch were found with stains, confirming use of the unit. For the bathroom, there is a barn door available to provide privacy while using the space. Prior to guests’ arrival, our inspector also completes a thorough inspection of the property, including photos, to ensure everything is in order before guests’ arrival. We take the cleanliness and safety of our properties very seriously and have documented these findings. Our goal is always to provide a safe, comfortable, and well-prepared environment for our guests.

Lovely condo in downtown Kailua-Kona

We really enjoyed our 6-night stay in this very spacious condo. It's conveniently located, close to Ali'i Drive and downtown Kailua-Kona. We walked to all the area's restaurants & sites that we wanted to visit. The updated kitchen was very well supplied with dishes, utensils, pots & pans, appliances, etc. We especially appreciated the beach supplies (cooler, beach chairs & towels, mats, umbrella) that we took on trips to beaches & sites all along the west coast. The small pool looked inviting, but we were too busy to make use of it. The lanai had a nice view of tropical plants, which made the highway just south of the complex much less noticeable. We highly recommend this condo!

Fabulous centrally located condo

Check in was very smooth. We received check in instructions the day before, found our parking spot and entered the condo easily. It was very clean. This condo is very centrally located. Safeway is a short walk (or drive) up the hill, the Big Island Grill is across the street, Kona Brewing was within walking distance and it was not too far to downtown Kona for other restaurants and farmer's market. KTA, Walmart and Longs were also close by. The king bed was comfy and there was a second TV in the bedroom. We were happy to find camp chairs, beach towels and some coolers. The pool area was really nice and we spent a couple days there when the weather was a little cloudy. Two grills are in the pool area. We used them for a dinner of grilled steaks and pineapple. We would definitely stay here again. The only negative I could think to add is that there were no chocolate covered macadamia nuts awaiting us as the picture suggests. But Costco wasn't too far away for getting some of those.

Reply to vrbo review... Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you had a smooth check-in and enjoyed the condo’s central location, comfy bed, and all the beach essentials. It’s great to know you made good use of the pool and grills—grilled steaks and pineapple sound like the perfect island meal! We’ll have to work on those chocolate-covered macadamia nuts next time. 😉 We’d love to host you again on your next trip to Kona! Mahalo and safe travels! 🌺
