About this property

Beautiful Ocean/Beachfront Property and A Private Back Yard! AC in both BDRMS!

Rest assured you're staying in licensed Hawaii Short Term Vacation Rental (STVR) when you book this lovely unit. Our STVR # is STVR 19-358769
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This unit has two standalone AC units: there is one in each bedroom. To promote further air movement, if desired, we have ceiling and pedestal fans located in the main living area and both bedrooms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


We understand that our guests’ may have additional concerns for cleaning and dis-infection and we have enhanced our cleaning procedures even further to provide you with our usual sparkling clean arrival with deliberate sanitizing attention to high-touch surfaces.

In addition to our already rigorous cleaning standards, we are using cleaning products and guidelines approved by CDC, to clean, disinfect and sanitize. We continue to offer contactless check-in and ensure that you are the first to enter after the unit has been cleaned.



Welcome to our vacation home at the Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club (KKSRC) on the Kona/sunny-side of the Big Island of Hawaii.

We first visited Kona in 1999 and found the Surf & Racquet Club in 2003. We were hooked!

Our oceanfront location is perfect! It's next to the ocean and a beach and less than ½ mile from Kahalu’u Beach Park and the Keauhou Shopping Center with it’s many stores and restaurants. (Kahalu'u Beach Park is also known as Turtle or Snorkel Beach.)

Kahalu’u Beach Park is our favorite snorkeling park in all of Hawaii. The fish and turtles are plentiful and there are bathrooms, parking, reasonably easy access in and out of this protected bay and visitors can rent beach or snorkel gear here, as well, if needed.

Our lovely townhouse has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. Guests can choose to eat indoors at the dining table or there's another table and chairs on our oceanfront lanai.

There are two TVs and wifi for indoor entertainment.

And, we have installed air-conditioning in both bedrooms to provide extra assurance of cool and comfortable rest in the event guests prefer more than fans and ocean breezes.

We also provide beach towels, cooler and there's usually a beach chair or two, an umbrella, and a boogie board for guests to use.

The views when you enter this unit are breathtaking AND you get to enjoy those same views throughout the unit. The view from king/oceanfront bedroom upstairs is particularly stunning; you can watch and listen to the surf from the king bed and spot the yellow tang and turtles frolicking in the blue, aquamarine surf.

During the late spring and summer months you can even watch the sunsets from the bedroom – they’re straight out for your viewing pleasure.

Our décor is very simple and allows guests to easily move in and call the place their own. Most of the artwork is from local artists and reflects the tropical beauty that is found throughout Hawaii. Travertine floors throughout keep feet clean and cool.

And, it’s easy to enjoy your own private backyard in this lovely end-unit with grass surrounding three sides. Also, there’s lush greenery between the yard and the ocean so that children are protected by this natural barrier. Still, if you want to go down to the beach it’s a simple two-minute walk to access the path around the neighboring building.

There are three sacred heiaus on our 15 + acre tropically landscaped property; several on and around beach and during low tide you can even find petroglyphs on the exposed rocks between tide pools. The property inland from beach and next to us is actually being transitioned into a cultural center park because of the richness of history in this area.

In the winter we enjoy additional sightings of the humpback whales and even witnessed an ever-so-rare-to-see birthing in March 2015. Spinner dolphins can be seen along the coastline nearly every day and kayakers, tour boats, and outrigger canoes paddle by pretty routinely.

And, whenever you feel more adventuresome it’s easy to get into the car and drive to hundreds of other lovely places on this big beautiful island. There are world-class beaches, boogie boarding and snorkeling, an active volcano, tropical rainforests, Kona coffee plantations, historic and sacred places, and more. We’re still exploring this lovely place almost 20 years after our first visit.

The complex has a delightful swimming pool which is suitable for young and old alike. There are 1-3 feet depths at the shallow end of the pool and then lengthwise it goes from 4 to 8 feet so you can easily get in some laps or just playfully float around.

If you like to play tennis then this is the place for you. Our recently resurfaced and lighted tennis courts are free for our guests and we even supply a few racquets. There’s a pro available if you want to schedule a lesson or two as well.

All in all – if you’re looking for a wonderful place in paradise – this is it!

Can't Get Any Closer To The Ocean!

Million Dollar views! Conveniently located to town. Not too close, not too far. Was there for Ironman and it was a perfect place to be. Bedrooms were comfortable and each had an air conditioner unit that worked very well. Kitchen had updated appliances. Beautiful little community with a pool and tennis courts. We had a choice of watching the sunsets from the lanai, or a 1 minute walk to the beach. Sandy was super nice and easy to work with. Would stay there, again, in a heartbeat!

Perfect Location

The location was absolutely perfect! We made sure to have our morning coffee and watch sunsets on the lanai each day. It never got super uncomfortable, but we really appreciated the A/C in the bedroom at night. Well stocked, and loved that we had use of beach equipment. Great communication with the host. 100% would rebook.

Comfy ocean front condo

We (two adults, one teen) enjoyed our stay at the condo. We found it as described. It's dated, but clean and spacious. The location was perfect for us as it was easy access to the town and the boat docks, but far enough away from town that it felt like a nice respite. It had all the suplies we needed and we were comfortable with the in room AC. We spent all of our time in the ocean, so didn't use the pool or courts, but they looked nice.

Absolute Paradise!

Just the perfect combination of location, relaxed amenities, ease of arrival and departure for the price. We found the snorkeling steps from our backyard to rival the other local beaches, wonderful restaurant's, shopping, and grocery close by and the best Kona coast attractions were also within reasonable driving distance. The unit had everything we needed for a restful getaway and the community was quiet with an amazing pool. We loved our time there and I cannot stress enough the view from the Lanai. SUNSETS we will never forget! We will be back Sandy!

A true gem

I hate to give a good review because it will only encourage others to want to rent this place....and make it more difficult for me to get the dates I want? This place is really paradise. We have returned many times to this same unit and ALWAYS found it clean, comfortable and relaxing. We feel like family when we stay here. Sandy is the Best and all her units are all very well maintained! We can't Wait for our next trip....

Very comfortable oceanfront unit

This townhouse is right on the water. Even though it is part of a large complex, the landscaping and location make it very private. Sunsets off the patio are stunning. The unit itself is simple but well furnished and equipped. It got very hot and muggy one evening and, although there is no AC, the numerous fans kept us very comfortable. You really can't ask for more.

Perfect!

We loved this place! The location is great. Views are amazing. Parking is just steps from the front door. Loved having coffee (complimentary Kona beans are yummy) on the lanai, walking on the adjacent beach, and watching the sunsets. The condo is well appointed. Loved that Sandy had a blender for our morning smoothies and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook dinners. Lots of fans so that air conditioning wasn't necessary. Beach chairs were a great touch. Would love to stay here again!

Nice stay

The condo was exactly as described, and is in a great location right on the ocean. Communication with the host was excellent. The bedroom a/c units do a good job keeping the bedrooms cool, but we personally found the rest of the condo a bit too warm for our liking when we were there in September 2022. However, other reviewers thought it was comfortable without the a/c on around the same time, so it's a matter of preference.

Beautiful, Inside and Out

This was our first time in Hawaii, so we didn’t know what to expect. The place is very quiet, with the constant sound of the ocean waves hitting the shore as a very calming background. Sandy was great. Very responsive to communication and helpful and accommodating. The instructions are concise and clear. I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic view right on waters edge

Right on the water. Waves put you to sleep every night. Close to shopping and restaurants. Short drive to town or take the $2.00 trolley as parking hard to get. Condo is roomy and well organized. Parking spot near front door and has shade from tree. Beach chairs cooler beach toys. Master bedroom has ocean view 20 feet away and has very comfortable king size bed. Don’t need ac as ocean breeze wonderful and lots of ceiling fans.

Clean, Comfortable and Close to the Ocean!

This condo has everything you need for a relaxing stay in Kona. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, utensils, spices, Saran Wrap and foil and even plastic storage containers. There were cooler bags, ice packs, beach gear and chairs, and lots of pool towels. The beds were very comfortable, and so were the pillows! The ocean seems like 50 feet away and was very soothing to watch and listen to at night. The air conditioning units in the bedrooms provided cool relief for sleeping at night, but there were also plenty of fans throughout the condo! The unit is a short distance to the pool as well. Overall, it was very enjoyable to stay here and I recommend it!

Crashing Surf Lullaby

This unit made an excellent home base from which to explore the Big Island. It is located near all of the conveniences you need and also had a nice sense of isolation even though it is in a large condo complex. Of course the best part was the Lanai looking out over the cove and the even better view from the master suite. I miss most the crashing surf lullaby that we had every night right out our window. The unit is well appointed and we made several of our meals at home. The beds were comfortable and most everything was in good condition. The sofa and love seat were not the most comfortable and would be the one thing that I would suggest updating. We had the great fortune of watching several whales each day passing nearby, some as close as 100 yards. If we ever go back to the Big Island and stay in the Kailua-Kona area, our accommodation search will start with this unit.

No air conditioning

The condo itself needs to be renovated. It’s still in the 80’s. The 2 bathrooms do have newer shower tile but the rest is old! The worst thing is I didn’t realize there was no air conditioning and it’s hot! We ran the fans but upstairs in the bedrooms it pretty toasty. The location is good and when you step outside on the little patio and look at the ocean right there, it’s magic. You can walk down a few units and get to the beach access where there are fun tide pools and a beautiful small sand beach to watch the sunsets. This isn’t a swimming beach. But there is Magic Sands beach just a 10 minute drive away.

Fantastic stay!

The townhouse is so comfortable and had everything we needed to prepare our meals, which we enjoyed on the gorgeous lanai. All of the beach mats, umbrellas and cooler were greatly appreciated when we visited our favourite beaches. The pool and tennis courts are beautiful and so well maintained, as is the entire complex. The communal grills were excellent and very clean. Compared to other units, his townhouse is particularly well situated for privacy. The bedroom on the side away from the ocean was lovely and peaceful with a view of trees outside the window, rather than the parking area. The bedroom on the ocean side is an incredible place to wake up in the morning, with an endless view of ocean and blue sky. Having a parking spot just steps from the front door was very much appreciated when carrying in groceries and luggage. There are many small details about the townhouse that combine to make it one of the best places we have stayed in many years of staying in vacation rentals in Hawaii. Sandy was incredibly kind and responsive, including when the airline decided on the day of our planned departure that we were going to spend an extra day in Hawaii :) Thanks so much Sandy and Leslie, we look forward to returning one day soon!

Old and not clean inside with cockroaches but wonderful view of ocean.

This townhouse located at the resort about 10 min drive to Kona. Beautiful location and wonderful view of ocean. You can hear the sound of ocean and enjoy your morning coffee. You can find everything you might need for you stay including picnic chairs and coolers,..Inside is very old and worn out. It looks like never been updated. The carpet covering the stairs was really dirty. Everywhere looked dirty and dusty. There were dead cockroaches and also live ones flying to our face. We had to deal with the bugs every nights. There were trash behind and under master bedroom. Soap stain on the sink and showers. Bathroom shower on the main floor was dripping. It was hot when we arrived and there were unit AC in both bedrooms which were very noisy but it did cool off the bedrooms. Windows screen on bedrooms and bathroom upstairs need update because I think that were the cockroaches were coming in.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy

Host profile image
I love to travel and I love Kona! I also enjoy working with people and helping them to explore and discover this magical big island and have the best visit possible. I feel strongly that if I can't do it right - I simply shouldn't do it. My lovely housekeeper/property manager and our cleaning team feels the same way. We're a dynamite team!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club in 2003, returning in 2005 and purchasing our first townhouse in 2006. I networked with the owner of this (2nd) unit for 2 years prior to experiencing the good fortune of having the opportunity to purchase it. It's a gorgeous and exceptional unit (much like our first). It's less than 30 feet to the surf, it's an end unit surrounded by grass, shrubs AND, best of all, it's got oceanfront views from EVERYWHERE in the unit except one bedroom and one bathroom. The view from the master bedroom is better than any other unit I've ever stayed in!! Also, parking is 20 feet from front door, there's a beach with turtles outside your back door and an ancient heiau on the beach!! An exceptional find anywhere and a delight to share with guests!

Multiple times each and every day I look out the window/s and thank my lucky stars for being so blessed. It's a wonderful place.

What makes this property unique

This is an end unit; it has a delightful grassy back yard that is really just yours when you're there - a beach that you can be walking on within two minutes OR a wonderful pool two minutes the other direction. The unit is furnished simply so you can make it your own when you're there - no do-dads, etc...but everything you need to enjoy a home away from home is at your fingertips. We love our home away from home and do everything we can to make sure YOU do, too. And, we've been exceptionally lucky to enjoy guests that visit repeatedly and guests that just appreciate our property and take good care of it in our stead. We'd love to share it with you so you can feel the magic of this wonderful place. Aloha!
