Very spacious - bigger than expected! Pool was great, although busy at times. Grills were nice. Road noise was only negative but after about 11pm it quieted down.

This particular unit is right next to a heavily traveled road. No AC so windows are open and could often smell exhaust.

The condo was just as you see in the pictures. It was clean, spacious and well maintained. There were six adults in our party and everyone had comfortable beds to sleep in! Knutson & Associates kept us well informed and checked if we needed anything or how they could make our stay better! Close to Keauhou Shopping Center and 15 minutes to Kona town. Would definitely stay here again.

Everything was perfect but we were disappointed in the beach. We just traveled to other beaches. Loved the keyless entry which made it easy for everyone to come and go. Did not like the big black ants in the loft. Yes we would use Virbo again. Thank you

We really liked the condo, very spacious and comfortable. We found everything we needed to prepare most of our own food.
The only negatives were: The close proximity to a main road. The noise really picked up about 5:30 am. and continued all day.
We had at least a couple of large cockroaches every day, and a few small ones. Maybe fumigatation would help?

This location is one of the best we've ever stayed! Everything you need and so close to all the fun! It was an immaculately clean home with the best setup. We had 6 people and it was perfect.

Large home with lots of space to spread out. Biggest downfall and potentially affect our rebooking- NO A/C. The room with the twin beds was unbearable during the day, even with the fans going. The entire house was extremely hot during the day, luckily for us we spent days at the beach. At night it did cool enough to sleep comfortably for the most part. One person in our group had to use the uncomfortable pullout bed becuse the room was much too hot to use. Pool and grill area were fantastic! The grounds were clean and kept up very well. Check-in was a breeze. We were on the 3rd floor, no elevator FYI. Lots of visitor parking for the 2nd vehicle if needed. The house and grounds were great, very lovely. No ac eas a major hiccup for us.

We loved this place, it was spacious, clean and full of character. The huge lanai was a real highlight, with fly screens all around to keep the bugs out. It easily accommodated our group of 4 adults and 3 kids and the outstanding communication from property management made our stay really easy. The grounds of the resort were very spacious too, the kids loved the pool. As other reviewers have mentioned, worth noting there is no aircon and no lift for those who need their creature comforts, but we knew that before booking. There were lots of fans around to keep us comfortable so this wasn’t an issue for our group at all.

To start off we were able to get in earlier than the check in time after a quicl text asking of we could. We had 7 people in total, Mom, Dad, myself, wife, sister in law and two kids. Plenty of room for everyone while we were in the condo. I was born in Hawaii and have been back many times since i moved away. The location is great for ceuising down Alii drive and checking out the beaches. It is also right below the Keahou shopping center for dining and any store items you may need. It is a quick run to the main highway to get into kailua or head down south. There qere a few beach going items like a cooler bag and some chairs that made our beach trips more enjoyable. Kitchen was pretty wel stocked for cooking our own food. The kitchen knives needed sharpened but there were stones to do that. The grounds were nice and clean. There was an outside bbq area that we used a few nights. Our kids are 10 and 13 and they enjoyed the pool one evening. The pool started at 1 foot and went to 8ft or so. It is a goood pool for everyone from babies to adults.

Our multi-generational family ages 3-70's enjoyed a week stay in this open, tropical, garden condo. Loved the expansive lanai and the open plan and ceiling fans kept the temperature very comfortable even on a warm day. The close proximity of the ocean, beach, Hawaiian historical setting, not to mention the pool, made our stay extra special. Very comfortable and inviting and the property management company was very responsive and helpful. Will definitely recommend it to my friends.

We loved this condo! The screened in lanai was amazing and the roominess was fantastic. My only suggestion is to put black out curtains in the loft upstairs. With there being no AC, the loft got to about 92 degrees every day even with fans and windows open or closed and my poor kids struggled to take naps/ fall asleep at night because of the heat in the loft.

I really can’t say enough good things about our experience!! Reserving was easy, check in was easy because of the details given by Knutson’s folks. I received a couple of texts after we arrived to see how we were doing and if we needed anything, which was nice. The place was gorgeous, spacious, well-stocked, and easy to access. It was a bit too close to Ali’i Road, but when you’re exhausted from exploring the island all day, traffic noise is a minor thing. We would have liked to get a place with an ocean view, but I’ll know how to reserve that next time. We appreciated the beach items from the rental, even the binocs! I would recommend folks pack 2-3 canvas tote bags for when you go shopping, because Hawai’i is about 99% plastic bag free! Yay!! Oh, and maybe bring/provide a couple flashlights to go watch turtles at night. We really appreciated all the accommodations of Knutson and the homeowner. Mahalo and a hui hou, ohana, 🌺🌸🌻aloha 🌺🌸🌻

Very nice property, well maintained, good kitchen for preparing family meals (4 adults, 4 kids ages 3-8), and the screened in Lanai great for eating together, reading, relaxing. Condo development nicely located at south end of Ali'i drive, short walk to Kahalu'u beach park with excellent snorkeling, short drive into Kailua-Kona. Great pool for kids. Shore access with great views for watching sunsets, and lucky to see whale activity while visiting right from shore (February). Communication with host great, easily accessible by text with fast response times. Grocery store right up the hill, very short drive.

The condo was exceptional. Clean, well stocked and great location. The only problem was the noise from the busy street in back. If the condo was closer to the ocean, the noise would have been less intrusive. Great complex, pool was great, grounds were beautiful. It was just the noise. Would stay at this complex again but not in this particular condo. Unfortunately would recommend another one away from the road.

The staff were also very friendly and attentive and checked in on us regularly throughout our stay. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Everything seemed great as far as instructions for arrival, the space and location and amenities. Unfortunately, the only thing that got me was the amount of cockroaches, and red ants inside of the of the property. We made sure everything was clean and picked up but they still were on the counter tops and in all the rooms. The only other complaint would be not realizing there was no toilet paper in the bathrooms before using it after a six hour plain ride!

Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and the accomodation was perfect for our needs.The unit was clean and the resort had everything we needed. The property manager was very responsive to all of our questions. Our only comment is that the traffic along Ali'i drive was quite loud. While we appreciate that this isn't something the property owner can address (it's jsut because of where the property is located), we wanted to include it in our review in case people had babies or small children - it's likely the traffic could wake them up. It was a bit dissapointing to hear the traffic noise when having morning coffee or dinner on the lanai.

We stayed here with four adults and three children (ages 3,5,6). The place was plenty spacious and the three bathrooms made getting ready so efficient. The lanai was large and beautiful!
Notes to those with small children: the upstairs has a bed next to a half wall. Should a child be playing on the bed, they could definitely fall. We didn’t let the kids up there without direct supervision. We also received a noise complaint from the downstairs neighbors during the day. Our kids were not shouting but were excited and running from room to room despite our constant reminders to walk. That was a bit stressful and maybe the host should consider only renting to families with older children if this type of noise is unacceptable.

Our stay with Knutson at the Racquet Club was fantastic! The list of positive things is long: the location is great (walk to beach in three minutes, close to snorkel beach and Magic Sands), place itself has lots of comfy beds, lots of room, great lanai in the trees, shopping nearby, and management was very responsive and communicative (they were in such good communication that we never had to ask for anything - information was all sent before needing to ask; reminders, codes, etc.). In other reviews there were notes about the highway noise and heat. It is true that it is right by the road, but we didn't find it that loud (I am a light sleeper and with ear plugs I was fine). Also on the heat, it was 83 degrees on our trip and there are at least two fans in every room - an overhead and stand up - and when we had them on, the temperature was perfect.So all in all, it was a fantastic place and it was a big part of what made our trip so good.Thanks Knutson!

Home was as advertised—a lot of space, nice furniture, and all the kitchen appliances we needed. The open screen patios, numerous windows, ceiling and stand-up fans helped keep us sufficiently cool day and night. And Management was great in guiding us around an issue—the dryer stopped working, a new dryer was ordered, and we were able to use the lanai placed under ceiling fans and stand-up fans to dry our clothes. A good location is one that can meet your needs even when something goes wrong. Highly recommend this location.

Easy check in, very clear information on both the property and local to do's. Easy app to have on your phone so you don't have to worry about memorizing all the information. Lanai being screened in made for wonderful family meals outside while being inside. Only down side if you are not prepared or underestimate can be the heat. Hawaii is beautiful but hot, and the upstairs Loft area was the hottest even with the standing fans provided. Highly suggest to use that area for kids and not adults.

A lot of dead cockroaches around the rooms when we arrived. Upstairs bedroom had an ant infestation. We couldn’t even let our toddler sleep there. Dryer broke and it took days to get fixed. Vacuum was broken most of the stay. AC would be great. A lot of grouchy old people at the pool, made my kids uncomfortable. At one point the Grounds Keeper asked my kids if they were “locals” and if they had a room there. Thankfully they could speak up for themselves. Can assure you we will never rent from here again. —It’s a beautiful place, tidy and cozy, but the over all atmosphere ruined it.
