About this property

Rare BEACH FRONT Home at Kona Surf and Racquet Club. Accessible beach 🏖️

Our "Hale Honu" (turtle house) is a rare find in Kona. There are many ocean view homes in Kona but very few beach front properties. You can walk out the back door to your own semi-private beach and drop yourself in the sand. Watch the whales, dolphins and manta rays. Turtles find this beach a quiet and peaceful resting place so enjoy them from a distance as they sleep on the sand. A few minutes down the beach you will see native Hawaiian Petroglyphs and Heiau's. You will not have to leave the property to enjoy all the amazing culture.

Look out over the grassy lawn from your lanai that previews the tropical shrubbery where your own path to the beach only a few steps away. The beach is an oasis to put on reef walker shoes and explore the home of Hawaiian sea turtles or to spread out beach chairs or mats and share some first-class beach time with those you love. All sorts of tropical birds are attracted to the lush tropical growth in our location and will often wait for a treat just off the lanai.

Enjoy your oceanfront location with seating for four at a dining table with glass top in the shade of your covered lanai with overhead ceiling fan. Stretch out on the lounge if you are trying to add to that summer tan. Have a morning cup of Kona coffee with your breakfast that can be handed via a pass through window from the kitchen or in the evening; have a BBQ or your own prepared gourmet dinner with an incredible sunset for your backdrop. There is no better location in any restaurant in Kona.

Located on world-famous Ali'i Drive the Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club is a 4-star Oceanfront Resort located 4.5 miles south of Kailua-Kona town. This gated complex is just 1/8 mile away from the Keauhou Shopping Center, which has a grocery store, restaurants, shops, a bank, a post office and a cinema. Even better ,we are a 1/2 mile from one of the most popular snorkeling beaches in Hawaii - Kahalu'u State Park (also known as Turtle Beach).

Your home away from home is a two story, two bed, two bath island home close to both the pool and ocean in your backyard. This home has been beautifully decorated with an elegant but homey quaint romantic cottage feel. It was recently remodeled to include: AC [AC has a fee for your stay] throughout, new appliances and everything you would need to call home and have a great vacation.
Watch the sunset from the beach or your Lanai and enjoy the sunrise in your bed looking out over the water and waves. Enjoy all the attention to details for your full enjoyment to include high speed WiFi, iPhone speakers, Netflix and more. This is the perfect place for you to get away and enjoy all of what Kona has to offer. Make yourself at home. Stays over 8 days require additional cleaning fee . Pull out sofa bed in living room must be requested and paid for prior to arrival. This rental is for 4 people . Additional guests must be approved.

Great place to explore Hawaii

What a pleasure to be able to walk out of the condo and be on the beach and relax. Lots of beach paraphernalia comes with this rental. Very comfortable inside too. We really enjoyed our stay.

Our stay was wonderful. We appreciated the details like having beach equipment and a cooler available and night lights in the condo. The well equipped kitchen and washer dryer really helped our family for the logistics of life. We loved the beach access for the kiddos to play in the sand (not a swimming beach) and watch sunsets. The location was perfect and access to groceries and restaurants as well island activities. Mahalo for a great stay!

Great location!

We love the KKSRC! Very convenient location, close to everything. The units and grounds are kept very clean. We saw whales and turtles from the back patio. Kahalu'u snorkeling beach is amazing and only 200 yards away. We would reserve this unit again.

Beautiful ocean front property

Loved this townhome with plenty room for a family of five. We easily cooked meals and enjoyed the spectacular sunset on the small black rock beach in front of the unit. Easy access to Kailua Kona and all its offerings. The unit itself has been updated and tastefully decorated. Highly recommend.

Thank you from Michigan!

Our stay at this property was just wonderful! It fit our family of 5 perfect. The grounds, view, location to town/beaches, pool were outstanding. The condo had everything we needed. The beach equipment was great. Having laundry supplies, cleaning supplies, dishwasher detergent, trash bags, etc already available was such a nice touch. Mahalo for our time at your beautiful place! We will be talking about this trip for a long time. 🌺

Stunning Sunsets!

The main picture on VRBO is very accurate! The property is in a great location for Sunsets and relaxing by the ocean. The townhome was a little smaller than expected but other than that it suited us just fine. We snorkeled only once in that area bc it’s too rocky but we waded out amongst the volcanic rock and saw plenty of fish, turtles and other sea life. The pool was great and a good place to go to cool off after a long day of sightseeing. ‘The townhome could use some maintenance and updates but was well stocked and great location. We were very happy with our stay!

Paradise!

My wife, son, and I stayed here from the 19th through 24th of August to celebrate his 30th and my 60th birthday. It was as good, if not better, than the description online. From the back, we watched sea turtles and dolphins in the am and hung out on the beach to watch fish from the coral reef swim up to us. The house was immaculate and the accommodations were top notch throughout. The location on the Big Island was ideal for visiting any place. I could not improve on the experience and the home.

Awesome location and great place!

Great place which accommodated 2 couples for 6 nights in paradise. The property location is perfect for walks on the beach area right outside the door. Close to a grocery store, pharmacy, a coffee farm (Greenwell) and a few breweries (Kona - which has food and Ola). We saw turtles almost every day just a short walk from the condo, which was really cool. I strongly recommend the AC if visiting during periods of 85+F/29.4+C and high humidity, we opted for the AC prior to our trip because the temp was consistently 90+F/32.2C during the day and just a bit cooler for the evening with very high humidity. When visiting Hawaii again in the future, if this location is available, then we will book it again.

Great, but a lot of cleaning

The location and the house were great! The only negative is the amount of cleanup they require. I felt like the cleaning crew when I was supposed to be on vacation. Before you can check-out, you need to strip all beds, bring all towels to laundry, wash all beach towels and clean the whole kitchen (microwave, counters, stove) or else there will be a charge. I have rentals and I never require my guests to clean, that's what the cleaning crew is hired to do.

Great location and beautiful view. Smaller than appeared online but gorgeous. Could use some decluttering with the faux plants and grandma's dishes filling the cabinets. Beds are wonderfully comfortable. Lots of extras with beach towels, gear, coolers, ect. Loved the shopping center close by. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets every night. Rocky beach for nice picnics right outside the door. Great tidepools with LOTS of sea urchins. Wouldn't have small children here. Perfect for our group of 4. I'd use the term "air conditioning" loosely. The livingroom unit didnt work, there were also electrical problems with the lights and fans in the main living space. Great check in book with lots of recommendations. Overall, we had a great time. Our biggest recommendation would be to address all the rude cardboard sloppy notes left all over the unit. Several sharpie cardboad notes left in every room telling you not to turn on a/c, dont use pullout sofa, fines if you touch this, ect. Very off putting for a beautiful space. Consider putting all these demands in your check in letter and not all over the condo.

FABULOUS!! I cannot say enough about this rental. The views were gorgeous especially the sunsets. The condo was well equipped with everything you need. We did not want for anything. Beach was a one minute walk and we pretty much had it to ourselves everyday. Hosts were awesome and replied quickly to any questions we had. Shopping plaza nearby with anything you could need available. Also close to town with shops and restaurants and only 20 minutes from the airport. We were able to pretty much explore the entire island on day trips. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property.

Full disclosure

We enjoyed our stay & the property was clean and functional. HOWEVER-after looking back at the VRBO listing…I don’t feel it is well represented. 1. This is a 2 story condo in a complex that includes a large number of condos. It’s pretty dense. Probably over 100 units. 2. This place is good for kids. That means there are a LOT of kids. If that’s your thing-awesome. If not, be advised. 3. There is no smoking on this property-cool. But your neighbors can smoke & they are 5 feet away. Be advised. 4. This is not a sandy beach. It’s a hard black lava, ‘big island’ beach and you will NOT want to walk barefoot. Snorkel at your own risk….. 5. The view from the beach bedroom is fantastic and the sunsets are AMAZING. We slept w the window open to hear the surf. 6. There is a nearby shopping center including a grocery store that is convenient. Would we return? Only if we were traveling with children.

Peaceful beachfront condo!

The location of this property can't be beat. You are right on the ocean with a beautiful beach steps from the door. The condo is well decorated - like staying in a home instead of a rental. It was so peaceful and cozy we really hated to leave. Nancy was great about communicating with us. Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Cairns

Host profile image
They call us the "adventure" couple. We love to travel and have fun. This island is perfect for those looking for an amazing life experience. We started coming to the Island over 25 years ago and continued to come back. This island stole our hearts and continues to give us amazing stories to tell each time we visit. We love the surfing, boogie boarding, hiking, kayaking, music and all the island has to offer. Out of all the condos we stayed in KKKS was the best and we love our community. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. It’s a magical experience as you can see from our reviews.

Why they chose this property

We have spent a lot of time designing this home to make your experience special. We did not spare any expense in transforming this home into a romantic hide away for you and your family. We know you will return year after year. We are one of the few units with full mini split AC. As the weather changes you will appreciate its use.

What makes this property unique

This property is on a semi-private pepper sand beach with views from all the windows. You will love the property and updated atmosphere. Only a few properties in Kona with this type of view and detail. You will enjoy the waves crashing at night as you slumber after a hard day of play.
