About

This beautiful, private top floor condo at Kahaluu Bay Villas is quite the gem.
The unit has a well equipped kitchen and all the rooms are spacious with a balcony overlooking the pool and the ocean.
The bedrooms and baths are wonderfully appointed.
The living area is open and airy. Everything that is needed for staying in a condo is provided, even the snorkeling gear. The views of Kahaluu Bay and the condo pool from the balcony are unobstructed and beautiful. Watching the sunset or the boats in the bay from the balcony is so relaxing.
The woven drapery shutters in the living room are a fantastic feature that not only helps with blocking out the sun, but is excellent for keeping the unit at a much cooler temperature than blinds!

After a morning snorkel in this calm, shallow bay visit unique locations like the Place of Refuge or Keauhou Bay (where you will see an awesome variety of colorful tropical fish, several Green Sea Turtles, and a beautiful array of coral), take a swim and sun bathe by the lovely pool that is immediately below your condo!

After a day of playing in the sun, shopping or touring, come back to this spacious, 1200 square foot tropical retreat for a laid back barbecue dinner and a spectacular sunset, the highlight of every evening! Or venture out to one of several wonderful restaurants and sunset venues in the area. (Twelve turtles sleep on a lava rock in front of the hotel open air bar, just a short block away, every evening!) Elevator on complex.

My wife and I spent a week in paradise thanks to the beautiful Hawaii environment and the fantastic facility we rented. The place is strategically located just a walk from the best snorkeling beach on the Big Island and close to everything else in the vicinity. The large shopping plaza with a supermarket, Drug store, and several excellent restaurants is just a 3 min drive away. The apartment is large and spotless. It is fully stocked with anything you may need. It feels as perfect as at home. The panoramic ocean view completes this beautiful setting. We recommend this place for any family who wants to enjoy everything Hawaii offers.

This property far exceeded our expectations. The condo was spotless when we arrived and the starter supplies were available as described. The unit was larger than we expected and the kitchen was well outfitted with equipment and kitchen tools and the knives were sharp. The washer, dryer and dishwasher were very handy. We had an issue accessing the cable tv system and the management company was quick to respond with a solution and on arrival the access instructions were quite clear. I like to snorkel and this is across the street from the best snorkeling spot and I was there almost every day. I did not see a turtle there but many others did. If you want to see turtles I would suggest Honohokau Harbor National Historic Park just past mile marker 97 on hwy 19 where they can be seen from the beach which is nicely shaded. We found a newly opened restaurant with a great view called the Sunset Kai Lanai above the Keauhou shopping center. We requested a table by the wall for the best sunset view. Last year it was a different name and owner and it wasn't good at all but now the food is great. The Keauhou shopping center has a free hula show every Friday evening at six. Our other go to place to eat is the Jame Beard award winning Manago Hotel in Captain Cook. It's nothing fancy but the food is good. We also like Quinn's Almost by the Sea across from the Marriott in town with free hour and a half parking at the Marriott with validation. Th condo has a storage area in the garage with beach supplies including chairs and umbrellas. The lack of air conditioning was not an issue as the fans were adequate. I would definitely recommend this unit.

#304 at Kahaluu Bay Villas was the perfect place for us to stay. Just walking into the condo will wow you with the view. We did quite a lot of cooking while there and found the kitchen to be very useable with everything functioning well. The sink disposal became clogged on New Years Eve and Knutson replied to my text right away and sent a repairman. Check in and out was very easy. I like the keyless door. My wife and I would definitely recommend this unit to any of our friends and would certainly be happy staying here in the future!

I had some concern with Check-in instructions, but I did not have any difficulties to enter in the unit. The unit is clean. There was a telephone in the unit, but not workable. It might be better to have a workable phone in the unit to get in touch with Knutson & Associates. Nice view of sea is very much appreciated.

Stayed with two children and two elderly family members. Apartment is spacious. Great location for snorkeling, pool and bbq area were very useful. Clean. Just heads up for no A/C, but with all windows open and fans on it was good. Extremely great view from the balcony. Everything you need for snorkeling and beach days was provided. Definitely will recommend and come back again.

The apartment is in an amazing location across the road from a great snorkeling and surfing beach. The balcony is large and has a beautiful, unobstructed view of the ocean. The photos do not do it justice. The communication from the management company was very good. The apartment is large and was clean. Although it has no air conditioning the fans and large, opening, sea facing windows meant this was not a problem and the temperature inside was pleasant day and night. It is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. There are beach chairs, umbrellas and beach toys available for use also which was really nice. The apartment is in walking distance to some shops and restaurants and the free trolley stop that takes you in to Kona down town is a short walk from the apartment. The swimming pool and BBQ area is also great and very quiet, we pretty much had it to ourselves for the whole two weeks. For everything that you get at this property it is a great price. If we come back to Kona we would definitively try to stay here again.

This was my second time at the Kahaluu Bay Villas. This time brought my older kids. The unit was a perfect unit for a family or 2 couples. We had all the amenities of home as we love to cook our own meals. The unit was clean, fully stocked with kitchen supplies, the location was right across from great snorkel beach and easy drive to downtown. The lanai is very large and hadsbeautiful ocean views which we spent most of the time on the lanai when we were there. The pool is nice with a BBQ area. The managers were very responsive when we asked and brought us what we needed. Everyone really loved it. We will be booking for next year again!!!

The condo was perfect and the most spacious condo with a huge lanai, that I've ever stayed in since visiting the Big Island over 20 times! The view was amazing overlooking Kahaluu beach which is one of the best snorkeling in the Big Island. Is a perfect home base while visiting the Big Island.

We stayed in unit 304. The location couldn't have been better. It is about 1/2 block from one of the best snorkeling beaches on the island
We particularly watching the sunsets over the ocean while eating dinner on the lanai. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking gourmet meals. The grill in the pool area was high quality and clean. The condo was clean & spacious for 4 adults. It was secure, safe, & well kept, so we felt comfortable walking to the beach. We had a wonderful time. The management company reached out more than once to make sure everything was in order & up to our standards. We had no problem, but appreciated knowing they were available. We would highly recommend this condo & will return next time we are in HI.

Kahaluu Bay Villas Is a very well maintained building with 15 spacious apartments. It is ideally suited if you like to snorkel because the bay is only a 5 minute walk. This was the 17th time we have stayed here and of the 4 different apartments 304 has the best view of the ocean.

Very pleased with our rental at Kahaluu Bay Villas. Our condo was well equipped and spacious. The views from the balcony were beyond spectacular. We were gifted with a Hawaiian sunset every evening. The snorkeling across the street at Kahalu’u Beach Park was a family favourite. We were there every morning enjoying the warm water, cooler fuel reef fish and the occasional sea turtle. I would love to return.

KBV unit 304 is in a great location right across from the best snorkelling beach. 3 minutes to get food at KTA grocery store for making healthy meals in the well stocked kitchen...loved all the extras like the blender, lots of dishes and glasses as well as spices. The pool was very nice with the BBQ area to grill. Washer dryer was also appreciated. The management company quickly responded for a few issues we had with the lockbox as well. I will stay here again!

We walked into the property to see giant sliding doors that opened to a patio overlooking pool, yard, beach, and ocean! It was breath-taking. We watched we several sunsets and a rainstorm from that patio. Just down the street (a 2-minute walk) was a park with a magical snorkeling place and a surf school.
The unit felt like staying with a friend; comfortable and familiar. There was a backyard pool and grill available to guests. The unit had a nice flat screen TV, games, books, and even snorkel and beach toys for us to use.
Staff were helpful and available. We had a minor miscommunication at the beginning that was quickly cleared up with a phone call.
It was a relaxing stay.

Kahaluu Bay Villas location is ideal for people not wanting the bustling tourist scene. Great snorkeling is within walking distance, and a quick drive to shopping center for groceries/ good restaurants and town if needed. Nice/fun drive to Kealakekua Bay. Unit seemed generally clean, but it is 'tired' in areas (furniture, carpets, tile, bathroom sinks,..). We let Knutson & Associates know of some items that needed fixing and they were quick to respond and offered to have things fixed while we were there. Overall they were great to work with for booking, rebooking with COVID, and answering questions. Currently this unit is lower priced than others in the complex. If one is comfortable with being in a more worn unit, than this is a great place to stay. We really enjoyed our week!

This third floor condo is one block from the beach, mostly snorkeling. The condo gets warm in the evenings but the fans help and you get to see some great sunsets. The condo was well stocked and had all we needed. My husband loved the refrigerator door ice/water feature. Only one minor issue related to the check in process where an inspector was in the condo but we were not alerted so neither the parking spot or key were available. The management company got back to us and called us later to apologize. Also, the vertical blinds need 5 or so slats inserted because afternoon TV watching is hindered. All in all a solid condo.

Manager's Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We *do* inspect each unit prior to guest's arrivals; guests arriving earlier than 4pm are likely to encounter this situation. I would think most would find this reassuring rather than annoying. We hope our guests understand the purpose of this and are mindful when their arrival time is earlier than what we have arranged.

This location was exactly what we wanted. I don’t really think the photos do it justice. We were 2 couples with kids and this place had everything we needed. Close to the beach with a great view of the sea, and just outside central Kona. The app was very helpful, but I also received a text from Mervlyn before checking in which was great to have an immediate personal contact about accessing the rental. She was super responsive to any and all questions we had, and really made our trip a great one. I would definitely come back here!

As I said in VRBO, this rental is a gem -- lots of space, huge deck, ocean in front, panoramic view, a bit of wear and tear, but well maintained and super clean. Best safe snorkeling in Hawaii just a a few hundred feet away. Parking under building, great pool and BBQ setting -- eat, party by the pool. No AC but fans can do it all because of great air flow. Wow! Wow!

If snorkeling is your goal, and it should be, I can't imaging a better location. a one-minute walk to the Kahalu'u Beach. We went many times and always enjoyed it. Please note: There are tons of Boogie Boards and various snorkel equipment in the locker! We did purchase snorkel gear for everyone at Costco on day 1. We did, however, enjoy the use of the boards.

The property was very clean and we needed nothing. We did receive one complaint from a resident that we were being too loud in the hallways. However, I don't think it was us. We had no small children and were not loud. Note that the property does not have A/C so the fans kept quite a lot. The view was stunning. We enjoyed the pool quite a lot! The property is also located 1/3 mile from the Keauhuo Shopping Center, with a grocery store, restaurants, movie theater, etc. We enjoyed taking drives along Ali'i drive, to see the shops, cafes, and beaches.

Love the location, an easy quick walk to our favorite snorkeling beach at Kahaluu. Fantastic sunset views from the lanai. Property was well kept - we watched the property staff wipe down and meticulously arrange the furniture around the pool twice during our 3 day stay. Loved the unit's Hawaiian decor (including palm tree tiles in the bathroom!). Only downside was the heat (96 deg. high/86 deg low outdoors) and hot sun coming through the large windows with no air conditioning. Would definitely go back esp. at a cooler time of year.

Manager's Response

Aloha Beth, we're sorry to hear that the lack of a/c impacted your stay, but are happy to hear you would consider coming back during the cooler months. Usually, the breeze and fans are enough, but this summer has been particularly difficult. Regardless, we are so pleased that you loved your unit and got to enjoy the lanai's views, and we truly hope to see you on the Big Island with us again soon! Mahalo!!

The property was too far from the center of things but it was wonderful having a snorkeling beach across the street. The property was fairly clean upon arrival but does require maintenance to the doors and appliances. It worked well for our family space wise and I would recommend it to others with the note that the decor is a little outdated and worn.

The condo seemed older but in good shape. The kitchen floor was a bit sticky when we arrived but not a big deal - everything else was nice and clean. We hadn't been to the Big Island before - in general the beaches along Alii drive are small pocket beaches not the long white sand beaches you may find in other places. But if you want to stay on Alii - Kahaluu beach is probably the best - good snorkeling. Our kids enjoyed walking down to snorkel and then playing in the pool at the condo - a hot tub would have been nice for evenings when you get cold swimming but not a big deal. The management was good - the beach gear in the storage unit was helpful.

The vacation rental was in a great location and I loved that it was secure and on the third floor.

Liked that it had 2 bathrooms and a washer dryer.

We were overall satifsfied with the location and the beautiful views. We enjoyed eating several meals on the lanai and the use of the pool after a day of snorkeling. The kingsize bed was comfortable. We were disappointed in the overall condition of the unit. The furniture was very dated and worn and some was in need of repair, ie: bar stool, lamp in bedroom. The coffee maker heating pad was rusted. Also, we had to go out & buy more toilet paper & paper towels. There was no extra stock. I don't know what is meaant by "starter pack" but the unit was not stocked by properly. I understand the owner's may not want to furnish the unit with expensive furnishhings but this place is in need of a makeover and not ot be so stingy on the basic necessities like toilet paper.

We do enjoy staying at this location and the 3rd floor lanai view to the ocean was spectacular, as was the sound of the ocean. We will return. Only negative (and not something condo owners can impact?) was the loud music and partying from beach park pavilion across Alii Drive. That would not prevent us from returning as there are so many positives. In addition to spacious condo: just a few units so friendly atmosphere, so close to great snorkeling, clean pool & bbq, easy access to beach walking trail and market & shopping center. Just overall, a nice spot and well-maintained.
