Condo is ideally located in complex with gorgeous views. No A/C but ceiling fans in every room keeps them cool. Kitchen has everything you might need. Only thing missing was Kleenex, not a single box in either bathroom.

Wow - this unit is amazing! We absolutely loved the set up - and the fresh air (no AC) was actually a positive for us. We loved having the constant ocean breeze blowing through with the sound of waves. We were never hot in the unit and we stayed in mid March. The kitchen is VERY well stocked which was so nice b/c we like to cook a little while there. One of the nicest units we have stayed at in Hawaii. Updated and clean, well laid out kitchen and floor plan. Highly recommend! We would absolutely stay there again!

We had a great stay! Spacious unit with a great patio. The AC units work well to cool down the unit including the upper unit once they are on. Kids loved the pool and pickleball after dinner. Mahalo for a wonderful few days!

The location of the Keauhou Surf and Racquet cannot be beat. However, for the price the condo was lacking. I have stayed at the Surf and Racquet in similar locations. This is the first time I could hear the upstairs neighbors, walking, opening closets and drawers and moving furniture. And it was constant starting as early as 5:00 am. Also, a number of the kitchen utensiks( primarily knives) had rust stains on them. Having stayed at properties that are less expensive, I guess I expected more from a high ori

Perfect location and accommodations. 5-day visit from San Diego with our UCSB Junior on her spring break. Condo had everything we needed, and the view is better than the photos. Comfy beds, sound of the ocean from both bedrooms, perfect lanai, groceries, coffee, tavern with music all in walking (not hearing) distance. Magic beach was our preferred location - lots of turtles. Very convenient for manta ray excursion, all-day snorkel, and sunset sail. Sad that we had to leave. We will definitely rent again.

Thank you for a great week. My family had everything we needed including a great night sleep! Loved your patio set up - modern and stylish. Loved the original art in your home and the open air format. oh....and the view is not too shabby - hahah! The best condo I have stayed in on the island.

This was a perfect area for our group of 3 adults. We were able to walk to snorkeling, sunsets and a short drive to dining and groceries. Beautiful, lush, tropical surroundings. We took day trips to Volcanoes NP, Hilo and waterfalls, Maunakea Visitor Information Center Observatory, and many of the indigenous historical parks.

Plenty of space for my family of 4 - two kids, two adults. Stayed three nights. Mini split air conditioning and double beds in the second bedroom were a definite plus. Condo cleanliness was immaculate. Really enjoyed the views and amenities of the property. Grills were easy to use, checkin and checkout process were easy as well. Would stay here again!

Everything was better than expected. The unit was great. Loved the kitchen and the view can’t be beat. The pool was right there and just a short walk across the driveway to get to it. Pool was way bigger and nicer than the photos suggested. Everyone we met were kind and gracious. We have four kids and we just played and had a great time. It is also right next to a black sand beach with awesome snorkeling. Would 100% stay here again!

Stayed four nights at this condo situated in a beautiful, oceanfront complex on Ali’i Drive away from the bustle of Kailua Kona but close to everything. Condo was very clean and fans were turned on and there was water chilling in the fridge and ice in the freezer and a little welcome basket of treats and K cups. The condo was so well equipped, even down to bedside charging cords. Communication was speedy and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay.

Book this condo! The grounds are perfect for families. Very safe and protected with gated entry. Our 4 kids (8-14 years) loved all the amenities including a large pool, volleyball, pickleball/tennis courts, and walkable beach access. We were pleasantly surprised by the owners attention to detail. Bedding, linens, cookware, small appliances, tupperware were very high quality. The owners go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay with pickleball and tennis equipment, beach towels, chairs, and boogie boards. And to top it off, you can hear and see the waves crashing at all times! Amazing sunsets!

We enjoyed our March 2025 stay at the property (me, my husband and our 8-year-old son). The location is fantastic - just 5 minutes from the dock where the Fairwinds excursions launch where did both the day snorkel to Captain Cook and the night manta ray snorkel right at the Outrigger. We were especially grateful for the short drive home following the manta ray snorkel when we were a bit cold and ready to call it a night. I'm not sure I'd label this a luxury property since the bathrooms are in need of updating. The kitchen is nicely updated and while we didn't cook, it was nice to have a full size fridge along with the coffee maker and blender. The pool on the property is no frills, but my son still enjoyed it post-beach. I think the price is a bit high and the property itself is nearly 50 years old. But again, the location is probably the best part of the property. Short drive to the spots in Kailua-Kona, not far from the airport and we seemingly hit the CVS up the road nearly every day. The condo complex itself seemed to have a lot of retirees/snowbirds - not a lot of kids/families, but we did not spend a lot of time there during the day. Appreciate the communication from the property manager. Everything was very easy. Photos of the property are accurate.

Arriving, we found the 'Storm Doors' up and a 2" cockroach in the kitchen, which I killed. This condo has large, storm doors that are erected anytime there is high surf.These doors completely block your view of the ocean in the living room and kitchen. These doors were up the entire next day. They were taken down the day after that. The following week they were up again for a day due to high surf warning (the ocean was calm).On Day 2 there was a fly hatch-out, with 10-12 house flies buzzing about. After swatting them all that day, the same thing occurred on Day 3, with a similar fly swatting session ensuing. (Condo does not come with a fly swatter)We had a water leak under the kitchen sink which wasn't fixed until two days later due to a complex-wide water shutdown the day the leak was discovered. About halfway thru the trip, a smoke detector in the master bedroom began to 'chirp' in the middle of the night due to a low battery. The patio set, which is old, with legs of the chairs rusting away is completely missing a fourth chair. The upstairs shower doors are so old they barely function and make you wonder if they will fall out when moved.The window in the bathroom does not stay open and will slam shut intermittently.The headboards to the twin beds upstairs are connected to nothing and fall over when the beds are moved. The condo is 920 sq feet. Divided by two floors, this place is small!Beds are very uncomfortable.Mngmt responded to texts quickly.

This is a great unit in a lovely complex. At the end of the row of buildings, there are not many people walking by this ground floor unit. The shoji screens open the bedroom to the living area for an open feeling. We had small children with us and the lawn area in front was a great place to use up some energy. The pool area was perfect and friendly. The complex is a little far from downtown Kona for us, but the location was quiet and all about the direct ocean access. Plenty of water toys to take to the beach. We loved having an almost private sandy beach to sit by.

We had a family of 5 plus grandparents. The condo was beautiful and fit us perfectly. The resort grounds were exactly as advertised. A great, quiet community that had a spectacular view. We adventured all over the island and loved coming back to the condo to relax and enjoy the pool. Thanks for sharing your place.

Your lanai is a stones throw fom the ocean. The waves mezmerize you to sleep. A daily front row seat to a warm and breathtaking sunset is all but garrenteed. The accomidations are spotless and the owner...whom you deal with directly...is quick to reppspond and help however needed.

This is a wonderful condo spacious and well equipped. It just needs some updating. The deck is huge but the rocker chair needs replacement as well as the pillows. Perhaps 2 rocker chairs to go with the love seat to create seating for 4. The carpet throughout is getting old and not in line with tropical decore. Beds far too soft for us. Perhaps better mattresses needed. Loved the resort amenities. Dennis gets 10 out of 10 as a conscientious host. We know he will deal with these issues. Rod and Betty

Perfect vacation spot. Quiet with beautiful surrounding. Well cared for grounds with manicured lawns and beautiful flowering plants and shrubbery. Shopping Center very close buy with super market, pharmacy, theatre complex and interesting restaurants. The resort is adjacent to a beach, popular snorkeling beach within walking distance, and other beaches within short driving distances. For those who prefer, the complex has a beautiful pool.An ideal vacation spot.

The condo was great. We enjoyed our stay very much. Was disappointed to find a 1500 dollar charge on our credit card with no explanation or receipt. When we questioned VRBO , they stated it was for AC. They stated we asked for this on the booking site. We have no recollection of this. I would rather know our total cost up front so would rather the AC be added into the cost per night at the beginning. Otherwise our trip was excellent.

The property was spotless. We found the deck furniture very uncomfortable and felt the high table and chairs would have been more useable if the chairs swirled they were difficult to get in and out and pulled up to the table. The parking was not good for us as we are both a bit disabled and found it awkward to be looking down the block for parking space.

Everything was absolutely wonderful and we found all the supplies we needed. It was a huge bonus to have all the sports equipment. Loved the quiet time rules as we were exhausted by 900 each night and it was perfect to not hearing all the partying. The deck was lovely, especially in the mornings listening to the birds and drinking coffee. The only slight complaint is that the king sized beds were a little too soft for us but hey, we were in Hawaii heaven so we sucked it up!

Location met our needs perfectly between Kaanapali and Kapalua. With easy access to condo from parking to unit. Clean and comfortable. Well stocked with linens and beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, cooler, umbrella, etc. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, but suggest having microwave safe plates. We did have a hiccup with twin bed assembly, but we addressed it and notified management, with our reply.

There were pros and cons. I just want to say the property is amazing. The view is unbeatable, truly breath taking. The condo is stocked with everything beachy from sunhats to beach chairs and boogie boards. Although housekeeping did an amazing job, I felt for the price we paid (5k , 8 days) it could have been overall nicer. I read the reviews and went through the photos in detail before deciding on this property. I may have a different level of cleanliness expectations than some so I acknowledge that firstly, also I know seaside rentals take some damage from the sea air. The kitchen cabinets need some work, some don't close and are pretty dingey inside and out. The couch was really well used and had holes in the fabric. It just overall did not feel the unit was "newly remodeled" as advertised. There is no Air conditioning so if you leave for the day make sure you close the blinds for its nearly impossible to cool down at night. Ultimately our vacation was simply beautiful as always, but we will not stay in that condo again.

This rental has a spectacular view! We are thrilled that we were able to spot Humpback whales every day from the lanai. We watched outrigger canoe groups, kayakers, and other boats. Each day was concluded watching the sunset hoping to see the green flash. And we enjoyed the.sweet little birds keeping us company by the lanai. The rental is clean, comfortable, well stocked. Edgar, the owner, was very attentive when a couple of questions came up, which we greatly appreciate.

We loved our stay here! We could have lived on the beautiful balcony where we watched whales every morning and afternoon—they were everywhere! We loved the central location and quiet complex. It had everything we needed. We traveled to different beaches every day, all within 20-30 min. Loved the shopping center across the street for dinner/shaved ice/ groceries. The condo was absolutely beautiful! Huge kitchen and living room with a huge couch. Bedrooms were great and two bathrooms were nice when we returned from the beach. Plenty of beach towels, chairs, cooler, and other beach tools. We stopped by the pool and it was clean and refreshing. Lots of grills around for guest use. Tennis courts looked nice too and some rackets were in the condo but we didn’t get over to play. Overall this was the perfect spot to enjoy Hawaii! Felt very luxurious.
