Two couples shared this condo for a week's vacation. It had everything we wanted--nicely furnished, good kitchen, great views from the nice sitting area on the patio, and overall a very quiet complex. It's also in an excellent location, easy access to a grocery store and restaurants up the road, or a short drive into Kailua-Kona town. We would definitely stay here again!

Reviewer Comments: From the daily/nightly sounds of the ocean with the master bedroom lanai slider open to the incredibly beautiful and well-kept condo complex grounds to the nearness to snorkeling beaches/areas, this place is perfect. It’s spacious inside and beautifully maintained. I had an issue while staying here and the management was very, very fast to resolve it. Thank you to the entire Knutson team for another awesome Vacay!

We enjoyed this unit and was very comfortable, aside from how incredibly stuffy and hot we found ourselves. Aside from that you will have everything you need, beautiful furnishings, and the Knutson & Associates staff is very friendly and courteous.

We had a great stay at this condo for a week. The unit was very warm inside when we arrived, but we opened the windows and turned on the fans and it quickly cooled off. Unit is very clean, grounds are well maintained, pool was great, good location near everything. We had a minor maintenance issue which was addressed very quickly. Overall a great experience.

Couldn't use pots & pans due to peeling Teflon but manager Blake was very responsive and got three new pans for us - thanks. Also had to ask for dishwasher soap in kitchen. Several dishes in cupboards weren't clean.

Great location with ocean front property. Only 1/2 mile walk to a good snorkelling beach. Very well equipped property with swimming pool, tennis, pickle ball , and barbecues. Property is very well maintained with manicured lawns and beautiful flowers throughout. Condo was very well equipped with kitchen supplies and many beach supplies as well. We had a great stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The pictures accurately describe the condo. It is very nicely stocked and furnished. The bed is extremely comfortable. All of our issues were quickly responded to. Since we stayed in October, I thought not having air conditioning would be okay. Due to climate change, I think I will always stay in an air conditioned unit from now on. I thought having carpeting so near the beach was a bad idea, but it is very nice to walk on barefoot. There are lots of extras available like chairs, umbrella, snorkel, fins and tennis rackets.

Perfect location to stay out of the main drag for Ironman. Short car trip into town for the event and beaches close by quiet and epic snorkeling. Apartment has an incredible ocean front view and a fully stocked kitchen. Ample free standing fans is lounge and bedrooms to keep you cool. 100% would recommend and stay again! Check in and communication throughout quick and easy.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I love the location of this property. The sounds of the waves rhythmically beating against the lava rocks with the tropical flora sites and sounds are true paradise. I would have packed up the entire newly remodeled kitchen and taken it home with me if that were possible! A little disappointing: both bathrooms are windowless and do not have working fans! All the bed pillows could use replacing. They carry the oder from previous users. No number of pillow cases could conceal that smell! Those are the only setbacks. It's an amazing unit!

With floor to ceiling sliding doors and a lanai across the width of the unit, the view was spectacular. The kitchen is well equipped with top notch appliances, many pots, pans, spatulas and other tools. We were caught off guard by the fact that there is no air conditioning and it was quite hot the afternoon we checked in. We quickly learned that the cross breeze through the length of the unit coming off the ocean kept the place comfortably cool throughout the two weeks we stayed. Being right on the ocean, though, the salty humidity feels sticky. Still, we slept very well with the breeze and the sound of the surf. The master bed is very comfortable. Nice crisp sheets. This unit is on the second floor where the third floor footsteps are very audible. Unfortunately, there were heavy footed people on the top floor. It was pretty comical. All in all, it was a great experience.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice condo with a fabulous waterfront view -- great to have breakfast overlooking the ocean and cocktails at sunset. Comfortable and well appointed, although there were a few minor maintenance issues that require attention (broken fan, broken cabinet door). The staff is excellent -- when we checked in there were not enough paper goods (toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags), but when we called to report the issue Shyya made a special trip to the store and personally delivered them to us, so a big shout out to her and the management staff.

This condo was exactly as pictured on the VRBO website. We have stayed at the Keauhou-Kona Surf & Racquet Club in 2019 and decided to return to this same community this year. The grounds are gorgeous and well maintained. Our condo 3-203 was beautifully decorated and very well equipped with all the cooking supplies one would need. We had amazing views of the ocean from the kitchen, living area and master bedroom. Every sunset from the lanai was more gorgeous than the night before. Pool area is well maintained and , yes, we were limited to 10 persons at the pool, but never had an issue with more than the allotted number. Our only issue was the parking spot for our vehicle. It was not in front of the building, but at the one end and around another building. Being in our 60s, we had some difficulty, hauling the luggage and groceries from the car to the end of Building 3 and up 2 flights of stairs. There is a no parking zone in front of the building, and not permitted to park to unload any items; which would have helped. We stayed in Building 1, in 2019, which was closer to the pool, tennis courts, and pavilion. But you cannot beat the views of the ocean and the furnishings. We had beach chairs, snorkeling gear, umbrellas, games, coolers of all sizes, for our use. You won't be disappointed in this unit 3-203.

This condo was lovely. Looked amazing, very nice furnishings that were clean and well maintained. The kitchen was big, well-stocked and very nice. The surf and racquet club complex is beautiful with a fantastic view from this unit. Our only complaint was ANTS. Tiny, irritating, ghost ants infested the entire kitchen. From the first day we were there until the last. It was obviously an ongoing issue as there were ant baits in the kitchen and closet. I called the property manager weekend line on a Sunday (because they tell you not to email for a quick answer) left a voicemail and never heard back. So we just bought Raid and dealt with it ourselves. But we had ants in the kitchen every single day no matter how clean we kept it. A beautiful place but just a heads up about the ants.

A plus being right on the ocean (surprisingly not all that common in Hawaii) Clean, good location- although still a drive into Kona town. Pool has a nice range of depth including 1 foot area for the young ones, but no hot tub.

Reviewer Comments: It was a wonderful experience to come back to this attractive, clean, well stocked and comfortable condominium after a day of diving, beaching, snorkeling and/or exploring the Big Island. Or even just to relax the day away on the lanai watching the ocean, boats, and fish. From check in to check out everything with the manager was smooth and convenient. We had a great Hawaiian vacation!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great stay, the condo is comfortable and in good condition. Waking up to a view of the ocean from the master bedroom is especially nice! The complex is several miles out of the main strip in Kailua and there aren't many services (such as restaurants or bars) within walking distance, so just be prepared to drive or take a cab if you're out and about.

I have been visiting the Kona area for 45 years and this unit has been the nicest one I’ve stayed in. Spectacular location and views. Loved the sound of the surf while falling asleep. Unit is well equipped. Loved the recliner with the good lumbar support. Looking forward to staying here again!

We throughly enjoyed our stay in this condo! Everything worked as stated, was clean, and ready for our arrival. Super easy to follow instructions, we had no issues getting into the complex or our room. Best view ever for ocean and sunsets. I don’t think it’s possible to beat that. Our only complaint is the dryer, it ruined almost every strap of my bathing suits (5), and a couple of my strap dresses, and two sarongs. Also one pair of my husbands mesh running shorts got torn up too. I don’t recommend using the dryer at all with important clothing. I’m not sure if it will be kept, but we left a clean pack n play and some toys for any kids who stay in the future, and also a stroller. All are new, and helped us tremendously. We would recommend this unit to anyone and everyone. :)! Also, although unavoidable on the islands, we had ZERO issues with coach roaches. So that was a huge plus. :)

This condo is located in a beautiful location with an ocean front view. The condo is decorated with very upscale décor and all of the appliances are top of the line. Loved it! However, the unit is not air conditioned and was so unbearably hot that we left 2 days earlier than what we had paid for. With air conditioning, this unit would be 5 stars because it was perfect in every other way. The view is amazing!
