Must see! Spectacular Direct Oceanfront Corner Unit

Unit 195

Our ABSOLUTE OCEANFRONT corner unit (#195) has a spectacular 180-degree view of the Pacific & Kona Coast. While relaxing on the lanai (patio), enjoy watching yellow tang fish floating in the bay, green turtles grazing on the rocks, the spinner dolphins leaping (typically mornings), and the humpback whales offshore (during the winter birthing/mating season).

Experience sunsets year-round and let the sound of the waves relax you. Our 1-bedroom (with new Cal King bed) plus large sitting room, 2-bath unit is fully equipped with everything you will need to have a relaxing and memorable vacation. Remodeled kitchen with new appliances. Free high-speed Wifi & telephone (Free Calling Within U.S., Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guam & The Virgin Islands.)

We are directly adjacent to a salt & pepper beach. At the far north end, lots of tide pools with critters & petroglyphs. At the closer south end, at high tide, if the waves are calm, then experienced & fit snorkelers (with a buddy, never alone!) can find a variety of sea life. However, if a novice and/or the seas are rougher, then the Kahaluu state beach (just ~ 5 to 10 minute walk north of our bay) is full of sea life and a safer location (with a protective ancient seawall & lifeguards).

We provide lots of extras: shampoo & conditioner, laundry detergent, dishwashing soap, beach towels, snorkel gear, a cooler, boogie boards, & beach chairs, etc. This unit is surfside-immersed with extensive jalousie windows letting the sea breeze & sounds drift upon you as readily as the light of sunsets or moonbeams (ceiling fans; no air conditioning).


Location: Our townhouse is located in Keauhou-Kona Surf & Racquet Club, a private 16-acre gated community ~5 miles south of downtown Kona. The complex offers 3 pro-grade lighted tennis courts (with tennis pro access and a pickleball option; please remember to bring non-marking tennis court shoes), a large swimming pool, a volleyball court, BBQ pits & gas grills. The grounds are lush with beautiful flowers. We are also within walking distance to Kona Country Club for golf (reduced rates if a Surf & Racquet guest) and the Keauhou Shopping Center with grocery & drug stores, restaurants, movie theater, & a walk-in medical clinic….plus on Saturday mornings, visit their farmer’s market with local produce, Kona coffee, flowers, & fish. Our location is convenient to explore the Big Island or just relax near the sea!

Great location, close to Kailua-Kona. Easy walk to multiple beaches and close to shopping, groceries, coffee, and restaurants. Nice setting right on the water. Good space for a couple, but probably small for a larger group. It was a bit dated and tired but was clean and well supplied. The views of the sunsets and the sounds of the waves were wonderful.

Gorgeous Hawaiian view

We loved our stay here! The view from the lanai was unbelievable. Loved eating breakfast out there every morning. The breeze and the sound of the ocean at night were amazing! Will definitely stay here again.

Lovely stay in south Kona.

The condo is beautiful and a very relaxing place to stay. Has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The view is spectacular. Just a few steps from the little bay and also the pool. The bed and mattress were also comfortable. Appreciate the nice art throughout the place.

Older unit, but honestly the location to me was everything! Best seaside vacation spot if you love being outside & near the ocean. A lifetime of memories that I will cherish forever. This description of where it’s located & sea life you can see from the comfort of the lanai was 100% accurate. I spent 13 nights and it was a quiet, safe, and beautiful sanctuary to return to. Absolutely would book it again!

Lovely, waterfront respite

Property more than lived up to the photos and description! Perfect for just my husband and I. Spent lots of time on the lanai enjoying the incredible view and listening to the soothing sounds of waves! Lack of AC was not a problem thanks to the ceiling fans and many louvered windows which are all screened. Also it was well stocked with beach gear. We so enjoyed our stay we are already looking forward to our next stay!

Stunning!

From the moment you enter the gates its heaven! Perfectly situated end property with panoramic ocean views and amazing sunsets. The house was stocked with everything and anything you needed right down to a zester. Our only complaint was the master bed was rock hard. My boyfriend slept on the sofa last few nights of our stay because he couldn't stand the back pain any more in the morning. Otherwise...The house for us was perfect! And a big thank you to Maria with property management she was amazing! Melanie& Vince

Terrible for those with sensitivity to cigarette smoke.

The location of this property is ideal. The complex is beautiful. But the townhouse I stayed in is needing some major TLC. It desperately needs new carpet. There was a very funky mildew smell. Also, there is a designated smoking area in the parking area. The smell of cigarettes wafts into the unit at all times of the day. I went out at 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, and 5:00am to ask people to please smoke elsewhere. They refused.

Amazing view

The view from here is spectacular. That alone would be reason enough to stay here, but there are so many more things to love about this place. The kitchen is well stocked, although it was too hot to cook so other than breakfast we ate out at the nearby restaurants everyday. We loved the beach equipment, everything you could need is here. We also took advantage of the pickle ball court available for guests. The only downside is the lack of air conditioning. We have stayed in hawaii before with only ac in the bedroom so I didn't think it would be a problem going without. However, I sleep with a fan on even in the winter so it was very difficult to sleep. That being said, I would definately stay here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to just chill and watch the most spectacular sunsets you could imagine.

Great property with an amazing view

Loved this property. The unit itself was quiet, clean, and well furnished. We really liked that everything was clearly labeled. The property was also quiet and looked nice. Pool area was great. The views from the lanai were amazing. We saw dolphins and lots of fish from there. On the nearby beach we were able to see more fish and a couple turtles. The only thing I can say negative about the unit is the lack of A/C. But we knew that going in. It was well documented, and I understand why. During the day, to me at least it was pretty hot in there. But we're from northern Ohio, and I'm used to wearing shorts year round, even in below freezing temps. At night though, especially on the second floor, with the windows open and the fan on, it was quite pleasant. Again, we knew what we were getting into ahead of time, but decided to go for it because of the views and location, neither of which disappointed. Fantastic unit and property manager, if you're good without A/C, I could not recommend this unit enough.

Fantastic Location/needs a little TLC

The oceanfront location cannot be beat. Has all the kitchen and beach things you need. Beautiful artwork and comfy bed and linens. The unit is showing its age a bit and could use a little TLC, but no showstoppers. We would definitely stay again.

Second Time Staying at this Condo

We love this condo. The remodel of the upper floor to an upstairs suite provides for amazing air circulation, views, and space. The condo provides everything you need, cooking utensils, starter items, etc. The view from the lanai is amazing and that's pretty much where we spent all our time. The unit is older and although it has been kept up very well, could use a little TLC and organization. But overall, we love, love, love this condo. The location is perfect and the "private" beach access is another great perk. Maria, the property manager is always available and responds within minutes to questions or concerns. Overall, the best place yet!

Not what we expected

The location was fantastic and Keauhou-Kona Surf & Racquet Club is a great property to stay at with friends and family. The townhouse itself however was not what we expected. We had read that it was older, but that did not prepare us for the state of it- there was literally tape holding things together. The carpet had a very musty smell, there was significant corrosion on anything metal and it was clear that not much has been invested in the property to maintain it. On our final day the garburator started to spew waste and a glass frame hanging on the wall smashed all over the bathroom when I closed the door (the door had swollen over time and it was very difficult to close, so the impact of closing the door caused the frame to fall). I cut my hand cleaning up the glass. I called the property manager Maria, who was very attentive to our needs and asked if we needed anything. She said she would pass the information along to the owners. I never heard from anyone.

Second Time!

This is our second stay at this wonderful condo. Having the Pacific Ocean at the back door is amazing. Laying in the lounge chairs and watching the sunsets, walking over to the little cove for turtle sightings and beachcombing are my favorite things!. There is a little ‘mall’ just up from the traffic light, a grocery, a bookstore, a post office, Tropics Tap House, Bianelli’s Pizza, a Regal Theater. We will definitely make a third visit!
