Keauhou Palena Reviews


This is the second time we’ve rented this place and we love it. The property is quiet and friendly and the maintenance manager always welcomes us and gives us tips on places to visit. The kitchen has every tool and spice needed. I enjoyed taking my coffee on the patio each morning as I was arched the birds on the golf course. Plenty of towels for the unit and the beach. Beds are super comfy. Nice to have air conditioning in the master bedroom as it isn’t common here. Owner is super nice and checked in when we arrived to make sure everything was ok. Thank you!

This unit was so close to the pool! The pool was extremely quiet while we were there. In 8 days we shared the pool with 1 other person. It is a VERY quiet complex. The set up of the unit is great for two or four people. We had an issue with the plug-ins in both bathrooms not working. I found the panel box and tried to flip the breaker but it didnt work. I contacted the rental company who worked to get someone out to the unit same day but it ended up being the next day but it didnt stop us from doing what we had planned for the day. Issue was fixed. There is a split a/c unit so you can run both the bedroom a/c and or the living area a/c. If you like golf the view from the lanai was great. The setting sun can get hot on the lanai so the owners have installed pull down shades which helped a lot. The unit did have a lot of ants in the kitchen and baths and even with little ant traps they were everywhere but it is a tropical location so I was expecting it. Not sure how often those ant traps are changed out. Other than that the unit was fabulous! everything you could need was in the kitchen. And the unit has a small apartment sized washer/dryer in a hall way closet. I even found a bathroom scale! It also has an assigned parking spot. I pick this unit again!!

Beautiful unit, very peaceful! However only thing there was a mildew coffee filter left the coffee maker and the bathroom sink had a very slow drain.

My partner and I honeymooned at one of the condos. We did find quite a few pests (ants, cockroach, centipedes), but the place itself is excellent with plenty of room and amenities.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was a great home base for our ladies trip to Kona for the Ironman World Championship race (more details below).Overall, this property was spacious for 5 adults, and incredibly clean. Furniture seemed to be new, which was nice. We didn't really cook (not enough time), but the kitchen was well appointed and there were spices available to use. We did use the beach chairs in the deck box.Easy parking, and grocery store is just across the street to pick up snacks, drinks, poke bowls and other supplies.The pictures represent the property well. The complex also has a pool and restaurant (more of a cafe/bar where you can get drinks and burgers/snacks at the pool), which we enjoyed. Some free craft classes that you can sign up for - we enjoyed the lei making!Good communication from Knutson. We didn't need anything during the stay, so I can't comment about responsiveness to fixing an issue, but I don't think it would have been a problem. We did run out of toilet paper and had to buy more - the notes clearly state that you are only provided a starter supply - but toilet paper is so cheap, it would be nice if it was fully stocked.Just 5 miles south of Kona town, it was an easy drive or run into town for the Ironman festivities. Specific to Ironman race day, this location was perfect, as it is just a bit south of the run course, and Ali'i is closed on the course on race day. Since the property south, so you can still come and go on race day as needed.Would stay here again.

This house has everything that you need. It has everything that you need, I’m very comfortable bad, well, equipped kitchen, very cozy living room and Lanai. The location is beautiful, away from the crowds of Kailia-Kona but close enough (about 6 miles). Highly recommended

We loved our stay! The condo was super comfortable and had everything we needed! Both pools onsite were really nice and fun! Most days we'd either swim in the pools onsite or walk down the hill and rent a little roadside Hawaii Bike and ride to the beach or into town. The grocery store is a 5 minute walk, so it was easy to run up there to get whatever we needed! We also golfed at the course that runs through the condos and it was AWESOME! I recommend! It was fun and easy to stay there! Brian the host was great!

The location is a close walk to the water and to some shopping and the Saturday farmers market. Quiet neighborhood over looking the golf course just 20 minute drive to Kona. Clear instructions for arrival and check out at the end of our stay. We were told there weren't any beach chairs in the unit but there were 2 in the towel closest. Overall excellent place for a relaxing vacation.

We were glad to come back to this area. This unit is in the second floor and the building is across the pool. Which meant, that you can spend time on the balcony without worrying about the golf balls flying around. That was important to us. Building is next to the street but we had no issues with any noise from the road. We had a problem with the dishwasher and Paul took care of it and it was fixed fast. Air-conditioning was in each room, it was on the wall. It worked great and quietly. We love to stay in this area and will definitely come back here. This condo had everything, even the stuff for the beach. We enjoyed our stay and we recommend this.

There was no AC in this townhouse. It was a miserable experience to sleep in the hot house. We asked a property manager for an assistance and maybe a portable AC, which they told us they don't have and can't provide it. Let me say, several night sleeping in a hot house was an awful experience and I would not advise it to anyone. In a year 2023, I was thinking that in US everyone has AC's, I was wrong. This place doesn't!

Newer appliances and a well stocked kitchen made preparing meals simple. It can heat up during the day, so the fans provided were a help. We enjoyed watching the wildlife from the back porch and soaking up the beauty.

We had a fantastic time! Staying at Brian's place was so easy. He had everything we could possibly need stocked. There were plenty of towels, linens, etc. and beach toys/activities. The beds were huge and comfortable, and the 2 sleeper sofas also made things easy for 5 adults. He also had some great suggestions on things to do while visiting and places to eat. I would definitely recommend staying here. If we go back to the big island, I would absolutely book again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently had the most unforgettable vacation in Kona, Hawaii, and it was all thanks to the incredible vacation rental we stayed in! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the spacious feel and beautiful amenities. Let's start with the view – It was simply breathtaking! The rental was perfectly positioned to offer a panoramic view of the turquoise ocean. Each morning, we woke up to the glorious site of the blue water, and every evening, we were treated to stunning sunsets that painted the sky in vibrant hues.The vibe of the place was pure relaxation and tranquility. The rental was nestled in a great spot, far from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas, which allowed us to unwind and relax but close to everything you would need within a short walk or few minute drive. As for comfort, it's hard to find the right words to describe how lavish and cozy the rental was. The interior design exuded a perfect blend of Hawaiian charm and modern elegance. The fully equipped kitchen allowed us to whip up delicious meals using fresh local produce, adding to the overall sense of home away from home. Not to mention, property had an array of amenities that felt like a private resort. The pools and tennis courts were amazing. This vacation rental in Kona, Hawaii, was nothing short of paradise. We truly had an unforgettable experience, and we cannot wait to return to this magical retreat. Whether you're seeking to experience Kona or just relaxation, this rental is the ultimate haven for an extraordinary vacation.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this lovely condo. The location was perfect, and the view of the sunsets were beautiful. The condo had everything we needed, including extras to enjoy at the beach. Our family of 5 had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our time on the Big Island.

This place is amazing! Beautifully decorated. Air conditioners work well and fast to cool the place down. Spacious! Well stocked. Clean. so comfy and relaxing. The community offers free classes you can partake in such as lei making, art class, etc. for the whole family to participate in. The pool and pool bar drinks... lots of fun for adults and kids! Great sunset views. If I had to list a negative it would be for families with kids the unit is SO nice and VERY nicely decorated it could be a little nerve wrecking if have small or unruly kids, worried they might break something. Loved the unit will 100% come back and next time stay longer.

Location of this condo is very good, ocean view from upper floor lanai. The condo itself is very old, everything dated, no ac in unit. The worst thing is a lot of tropical bugs can enter condo. We tried to have everything closed, no food was left to atract these pests, but I guess the condo is old and they can find the way to enter. Other than this evening was good.

This condo was even better than we expected. We were surprised once we went into the condo on how spacious and well stocked it was with everything we needed. The lanai was so nice to eat breakfast every morning and it was just a short walk to go see the sunset across the golf course which we went every time we were at the condo in the evening. Adam was a great host as he replied very quickly to my messages and was very accomodating and understanding to all of our requests. We would definitely stay at this condo if we do again to the Big Island. Mahalo Plenty!

We were wowed by the spacious living areas, the overall elegance and large lanai, with trunk of beach/pool items and wide view of the golf course. Beds were very comfortable and AC worked perfectly. We made many meals in the kitchen! A closet full of linens/towels allowed us to do laundry at the end of the week. We felt at home right away, unlike a sterile hotel. Things we figured out (without any instruction book): turning on the 2nd stove burner (turn it all the way around before setting), set the patio fans (from the box on the wall), and turn on dishwasher (from a switch UNDER the sink). Overall, great!

We really enjoyed our stay here at Keaulou ... the property was in a great location, close to a Shopping Center that had Grocery and other Stores of convenience as well as a Great Restaurant ( Kinichi ) It was also close to the best Snorkeling we have ever experienced, at Kahaluu Beach! It was also a short walk away from Sea Quest which offered an excursion swimming with the Manta rays one of the highlights of our trip! And a visit to the Hale Coffee Farm. The TownHouse itself was lovely with a beautiful view from the top lanai. It was so nice to wake up to the sound of birds and the fragrance of Plumeria with Palms waving in the breeze! We love to cook so we found the Kitchen was well equipped with appliances. It also was nice to have a few necessities such as salt, pepper, sugar, plastic wrap and bags. For a Suggestion The Coffee maker worked fine but could be updated for future guests and we found that the TownHouse was not as clean as we expected. We did find that the grounds were very clean and well maintained and really enjoyed the use of the Pool and BBQ. We also appreciated the amount of towels etc. as well as the use of the washer and dryer and free parking for our Car Rental. We would definitely recommend this Property and we look forward to our next Stay on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii !!! Maholo Niu Loa ;)

We have rented this condo 3 times for 3 months because of location. Perfect for us as we paddle for a canoe club that we can walk to. Condo itself? The complex itself has a great manager, Jay, and grounds are meticulously maintained. The condo - inferior to others in complex. (We have rented in 3 others). However, Not renting again. Each year fees go up and upkeep of this unit goes down. We are told by owner what a “deal” we are getting. It is very tired. One example: Lanai furniture has never changed-plastic fold up table, sun bleached, discolored plastic chairs. Look around at other lanais in same complex. Amenities- scarce. Fry pans so scratched- unsanitary for use. Coffee pot bottom burned. Towels & sheets threadbare, one thin blanket, garbage disposal kept breaking-we reset each time.When we asked items were supplied. The question being? Why did we have to keep asking. If you have reasonable cleaning standards, they will not be met here. Incidentally, checked area cleaning fees—-highest in area. We have rented another, comparable, but very updated condo for less money. Regardless of what is said, they are available. If staying for a short stay/ doable. Longer? I’d look elsewhere.

This was our second time at this property and we love it! Large, clean, quiet and equipped with everything you need...And I mean everything! The kitchen is great, the bedrooms so spacious and the two bathrooms are a huge plus! The location is amazing. There is a Plaza just 5 minutes walk from the resort where you can find great restaurants, a big supermarket and even a movie theatre! This is truly a 5 stars property in a 5 stars location with a 5 stars host. Brian is super friendly and attentive, very professional and responsive. If you are looking for a perfect base to explore this beautiful side of the island don't miss this place!!! We will come back next year!! Pasquale

The condo was very spacious and clean. Great and quite location. The pool was just across the street so we didn’t have to walk that much. The views from the balcony were amazing you were able to see the sunset and the ocean. Kitchen was very spacious and the ac worked well. Beach equipment and a grill was available to use. Liked that the couches turned into sofa beds. I appreciated that Brian allowed for a late check out.

This was our second stay in this condo. We stayed there last year and we loved it. This condo had an excellent update with air-conditioning. One was in the bedroom and one in the living room. It's the units on the wall so it's extremely quiet and it works great. It was the best surprise for us. The view from the balcony is perfect. Lot's of palm trees, other trees and so many birds singing. All day, but in the morning it's more loud. They woke us up, beautiful alrm clock. This condo had everything you need. Toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags and even a soap and shampoo, towels and beach towels. Area is quite and the shops are close by up on the hill. Kona downtown is a little drive but it's still close. Beaches are close by. Another thing in this condo was how close the ocean was to go to watch the sunset. You just walk through the golf course, probably 5 minutes and you are there. We highly recommend to go to see the sunset, it's different every time. Pool is nice to use. This area is quite and if you like to relax then this condo is a must. We will definitely stay here again. We have been coming to Hawaii for 20 years, and this condo is our number 1 to stay in. Even the cars, driving on the street you do not hear them at all. We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to be back. Mahalo for sharing your condo with us.

My wife, 2 adult children & I, stayed in early Feb 2023. W/all the Cons, most I believe can be addressed, we enjoyed our stay. My wife, & children would stay again (winter only). I would not stay again due to no AC. I would have rated 3.5 stars, but not an option. 4 stars if AC. 5 Stars if AC & Cons were addressed. Pros: Review sec. does not allow enough text characters to provide full feedback, so I only listed the Cons. Cons: No AC. Was tolerable but we were sticky. New toaster need (piece of junk). Convection oven blows hot air in to room. Would be fine if was AC. Not a sharp knife in the place. Lots of old serrated knives you can saw your food w/though. New can opener needed. Deck lighting abysmal. You can’t see much & no regular candles are allowed. Clothes washer seal was gross (mold/clogged up). We own this same washer. FL washers need to be left open to dry out, & cleaned periodically. Should be sign indicating so, & that FL washers need to be drain between uses. There was nothing to drain it with. TV was difficult to use. Batteries dying?? Sliding door to mstr bdrm did not slide. Since no AC you will open it every day, & close it every time you leave. Balcony sliding screen doors - one bent & in need of new rolls? Upstairs sink & mirror area - no privacy. Couch uncomfortable. Fan blowing on you all night if you want to keep cool. Screen-door in/out of unit closes harshly. Nothing to write with/on. No scissors to open bags.

Very spacious and peaceful, with very comfortable bed. Lanai was huge although we didn't get to spend much time out there, given that we were on the go with so many activities nearby. Loved staying out of the busy Kona area but still had everything we needed closeby with Keauhou Shopping Center within walking distance.

February 2023

We had a very pleasant experience. We have stayed closer to downtown Kona several times and enjoyed it but were looking for something a little more private and quiet. The condo complex is very quiet (except for the birds) and it was entertaining to watch the golfers. The grounds staff was attentive and friendly and the pool was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need in the way of tableware, utensils, pots and pans and cooking appliances. There was body wash and some small soaps for the bathrooms as well as starting supplies of tp, garbage bags, laundry detergent and dishwashing soap. It was nice to have 2 bathrooms and the sofa sleeper. I never expect condos to have food items or cooking oils/spices so being able to walk to the shopping center was a real advantage. There is a farmers market there every Saturday morning, several well-stocked stores, great restaurants, and a post office. It is also a very easy walk to the golf course clubhouse cafe and the Outrigger Hotel so the location was convenient for us.

We like staying in condos on the Big Island so we can save money not eating out. We've stayed in Keauhou dozens of times, and discovered one of the best bargains is marinated meats from the local KTA. So having a BBQ was important to us - I specifically asked about this as the listing didnt mention it. Owner stated 'there is shared BBQ'. Upon arriving we found this untrue. Apparently english isnt the owners strong point. Another MAJOR disappointment was every speck of kitchen basics was gone. Not even salt/pepper. Every other condo we've ever stayed in had a variety of kitchen basics left over from previous guests; salt, pepper, oils, shoyu, rice, vinegar, etc. and i've always been happy to make my own contribution. Not so here. Curiously, there is a spice rack with moldy spices no one ever uses. The good side - main bed was great, TV worked well (tho it didnt have HBO as the guest guide stated), The lanai was large and great to enjoy watching golfers, The 'guest bedroom' was adequate with its pullout and privacy barriers. The AC was very nice and worked well. Furniture all in decent condition and comfy. We appreciated that soap for the laundry and dishwasher was stocked. Somewhat disappointed that the only personal soap was a tiny tube of body wash. No bar soap or shampoo - for these sky-high prices that seems like a cheap shot. The on-site staff were polite and on the ball. Wont stay here again.

We had an awesome stay in this condo. It is very spacious and had everything we needed for a great vacation. The patio is very large and overlooks the pristine golf course. The unit is right across from the adult/ relaxation pool which was perfect. The grounds are gorgeous and it is a short 10 minute drive to downtown Kona. The kitchen is well stocked and we had all the comforts of home. Brian was a fantastic host; he was super accommodating and responded quickly to our emails. We couldn’t ask for anything more and will definitely stay here again.

Perfect location between captain cook and Kailua Kona. We booked a snorkeling tour and a manta ray tour and both were five minutes away. There’s so much to do in the area, we hardly spend any time with the place but the time we spent was enjoyable and relaxing. Well appointed. The lanai was a nice place to relax after a long day. The pool looked great as well!

This condo was perfect for our family over Thanksgiving week. It felt like being a guest in a friend’s home with all of the kitchen tools, condiments, books, games, coolers and snorkel equipment. The host even left us a huge bottle of water and chocolate covered macadamia nuts. So nice! Appreciated the ground floor unit and nice lanai. The hose by the front door was nice for washing off sand before going inside. The property doesn’t allow grills but they have a George Foreman in the kitchen. And the master bedroom bed is so comfortable. The host definitely wants guests to have a good time and it showed. We will be back. Thank you.

Our arrival was greeted by a very stinky garbage disposal. Problem was solved with purchase of two lemons. I feel that each reservation should be treated individually, we were there for two weeks with 3 rolls of toilet paper, one small bar of soap, three dishwasher pods and three trash bags. Even though you recommended that the trash be taken out at least once a a day. This did not make our stay any less enjoyable. Just some recommendations.

No A/C, old stained carpet in bedroom, ripped patio (lanai) furniture and cockroaches on lower floor.

The condo is in a great location south of the heart of Kailua Kona. It was a short drive to restaurants and shopping. The condo had everything we needed to cook, relax and go to the beach. We would stay here again.

We just spent a full week in this property and it was great! Let's start with the space. Huge, super comfortable, quiet and equipped with everything ( And I mean EVERYTHING!) you may need for your stay. Kitchen is amazing, the two bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and the beds are super comfy. The living room area and the lanai are amazing with view of the ocean and so much space to move around. Three beautiful flat tv sets, plenty of towels and parking space in front of the condo were a great plus. The other crucial thing is the location: the Kona Coast Resort is safe and minutes walking distance from markets, restaurants abd other essential services. And, with a short drive, you can reach fantastic sites like Spencer park. One last thing: Brian was the most responsive host I ever had and I work as a manager for Hyatt and travel a lot. Superb customer service. We will be back next year! Pasquale

The location is nice close to the pool. Only one bedroom but plenty enough for two people. Can’t wait to return next year.

This place was the perfect size for 4 people. It would have been very crowded with any more. The location is amazing!! It is really well stocked with almost anything you could need. Adam is great to work with and he responded very quickly. We stayed in July and there is no air conditioning. It did get quite hot. There are many fans to help with that though. If you are squeamish about bugs…. Don’t go to Hawaii.

Private, yet very accessible for all the opportunities around you We are very physically active all day, so it is nice to arrive home and enjoy the peace and quiet afforded here.

Our family of 5 adults really enjoyed our stay, it was very spacious, CLEAN and well equipped with everything we needed including beach gear, plenty of towels, and kitchen supplies. AC worked wonderful! Beautiful sunset views from the front of the condo and very beautiful scenery from the Lanai. Check in was easy. We didn’t have any contact with the host during our stay but it wasn’t needed because everything was pretty straight forward and well explained in the email prior to check in. Only 10 min drive from Kona’s downtown strip, nice shopping center across the road, and you get the home away from home feeling but still get the island vibes! I would definitely stay here again!

I stayed in the condo for a week in July with my wife and three kids. It is something like a three minute drive to Kahalu'u park. We really enjoyed how we could get there so easily, and snorkel there early in the morning - it felt like we had all the fish to ourselves. Another couple minute drive gets you to white sands beach which is crowded right now but has great boogie boarding waves. When we were too worn out for the ocean but when had energy to burn we just hung out at the pool. I appreciated that the condo is well stocked with beach stuff like towels, bamboo mats, coolers, and chairs and also lots of Tupperware in the kitchen to pack lunches. The only thing to clarify is the description of the place that it's a 2 bedroom. It is, but one bedroom has an accordion type temporary wall that opens to the living room - not offering much privacy. My wife and I stayed in that room so we could put the kids to bed in the larger master bedroom and still be out in the living room in the evening. Sometimes our kids would wake us up in the morning by poking one head through the main door and another head through the temporary wall.

My husband needed to be able to finish a paper he was writing in between beach visits. The internet was constantly crashing, and had to be rebooted many times in one day. Finally in desperation , we called Paul, the property manager. He was AMAZING. Apparently the router and modem were ancient. Paul made a trip to Spectrum in the evening, with traffic, in the rain , to upgrade the equipment so my husband could continue with his project. Yeah, Paul!

This was a great rental in Kona for a family of 4...the air conditioning was wonderfully quiet. This condo was clean neat, an adequately stocked. The only issue was the two loads of laundry required was feasible for an early flight- only one wash was completed of the sheets.

Beautiful condo with an amazing view. Everything was very clean upon arrival. The only downside as others have noted is the lack of AC. However, it does cool down considerably at night and there are plenty of large fans to help with cooling. Location is fairly close to Kona and other beaches.

The unit was a perfect size for a family of 4. The balcony overlooking the golf course was huge and very pleasant for eating outside at the table. It was further from the downtown area than we thought. We had to drive everywhere we went.

First of all condo was close to the loud busy street There had to be other available units in a better location. The condo was old and needed updating badly. There was an electric bbq on the lanai and when I bought an expensive steak dinner the bbq didn't work. If bbqs are not permitted then why does the downstairs condo have a Weber on their lanai? The loud machines for the landscapeing were relentless everyday. Also in three nights in a row there was a police, ambulance and firetruck, and someone fired off 10 rapid rounds with what sounded like a 9mm pistol very close to our unit!!!

Nice location and convenient for daily outings. Beach chairs, coolers, and boogie board supplied. Daily encounters with geckos on the deck. Only down side was the most uncomfortable couch and the fact that the upper bedroom is not closed off to sound and light from living room. Thank you for making vacation pleasurable.
