We recently enjoyed a week long stay at condo 2602. It was my parents (in their 70's) and my husband and me (in our 40's). We have visited Hawaii many times and in fact have stayed at condos in the Kanoloa complex before. We were all in agreement this is the best condo in the complex! The pictures on the listing are very accurate.
Highlights:
-view-you can see the ocean view from the kitchen, living room and lanai. We enjoyed the sunset every night!
-there are three pools in the complex and the closest one is the water front pool. This is less than 30 steps from the lanai.
-This was the only condo we could find with stairs from the lanai. This made it easy to get to the pool and nearby BBQ.
-well stocked kitchen-both equipment and staples like flour, sugar, tea, olive oil, vinegar and spices.
-closet with ice chest, games and books.
-parking lot storage area has snorkel gear, funnoodles, boogie boards.
-walk in closets in each bedroom.
-good sized bathrooms.
-welcome gift from owners (coffee, chocolates and water).
-great communication from the owner.
-walking distance to Outrigger Hotel (also location of the Ho'Oulu Community Farmers Market on Wednesday from 9am-2pm).
-the grounds and facilities at the Kanoloa are very well kept.
The only con:
-the bedroom with the twin beds is a bit small. Also, would have loved if it had a queen size bed instead.
There are a number of Kanoloa condos listed on VRBO but you are not going to find one with a better location and view than this one.
