Accessible Oceanfront Vacations: Kanaloa at Kona

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Those of us  in wheelchairs like vacations in Hawaii just like anyone else.  But finding a place to stay can be difficult, especially if you want to have an oceanfront spot.  From personal experience I can say that most hotels in Kona side are accessible at least on the ground floor units, but almost all rental condos and homes are not. I know of two ocean front rental condos that are - my unit 2002 at Kanaloa at Kona and one at Kona Surf and Racquet.  When we purchased unit 2002 , we had to renovate it to be accessible — new flooring, wider doors, the right door knobs, new ADA bathroom with grab rails and retractable shower bench and a wheel chair lift at the entry way to get you into the place.  When we are not there, Aloha Condos manages the rental details.
