Aloha and welcome to Kanaloa 1903! Fall asleep to the sound of the surf from just 20 feet away in this spacious 1,746 sq ft 3 BR oceanfront penthouse on the Kona Coast. Newly renovated in 2026, floor-to-ceiling windows frame stunning, unobstructed ocean views. Spot turtles, dolphins, and whales right from your private lanai! Three bedrooms and two bathrooms across two levels give everyone room to spread out, and the gated resort's three pools, hot tubs, and tennis courts are all yours to enjoy.

The space
Kanaloa 1903 is a two-level penthouse with internal stairs leading up to the elevated main level — and it's this height that delivers the breathtaking ocean views. The open-concept main level features the living area with a queen sleeper sofa, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops and modern appliances, and the spacious master suite with a king bed and en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom, also with a king bed, offers a private retreat on the main level. Upstairs, a cozy loft with two twin beds is perfect for kids or extra guests.

Step out to your private oceanfront lanai for morning coffee or sunset cocktails — the sound of the waves is constant and mesmerizing. The kitchen has everything you need, and our coffee bar comes stocked with Keurig pods, local Kona coffee, and morning supplies to start your day right. High-speed WiFi and smart TVs throughout mean you can sign into your streaming accounts and unwind after a day of iisland exploration.

Kanaloa at Kona is a premier oceanfront resort community in the Keauhou area of Kailua-Kona, on the sunny western coast of Hawaii's Big Island. The gated 16-acre property enjoys a peaceful, private atmosphere reminiscent of "Old Hawaii" — set apart from the noise and traffic of Ali'i Drive, yet just 10-15 minutes from downtown Kona's shops and restaurants.

Guest access
You have the entire 1,746 sq ft unit to yourselves, plus full access to Kanaloa at Kona's resort amenities: three sparkling pools, including a stunning oceanfront infinity-edge pool, hot tubs at each pool area, two lighted tennis and pickleball courts, six BBQ stations throughout the grounds, and beautifully landscaped tropical gardens across 16+ acres. With plenty of room to spread out, this unit is perfect both for families or couples and friends traveling together!

We provide beach equipment so you're ready from the moment you arrive: beach chairs, boogie boards, a cooler, and beach towels.

Covered, reserved parking is provided. A parking pass and gate card are given to you at check-in at the front desk.

Other things to note
This is a two-level penthouse with internal stairs — there is no elevator. Stairs are required to reach the main living level. Please keep this in mind if anyone in your party has mobility concerns.

Air conditioning is provided.

In-unit washer and dryer for your convenience.
