Keauhou Palena

A quiet condo community set along a golf course in Keauhou, where mornings mean coffee on a roomy lanai while birds work the fairways. It suits families and longer-stay couples who want space, uncrowded pools and groceries on foot, and who are happy to drive to beaches.

What guests say

1 in 8 reviews mention golf1 in 5 reviews mention kids or family

Guests love

  • Lanais over the fairways. Guests linger over breakfast on large lanais facing the golf course, with birds visiting each morning and ocean glimpses from some units.
  • Groceries a short walk away. The Keauhou shopping center, with a KTA market, Longs, restaurants and a farmers market, is a few minutes on foot, so cooking in is easy.
  • Two pools, rarely crowded. A quiet adults pool and a livelier main pool with a hot tub and small bar, plus pickleball and shuffleboard; guests often had a pool nearly to themselves.
  • Calm, yet close to the bay. The complex sits off the busy streets, but guests walk to Keauhou Bay for manta tours and stroll across the golf course for sunsets.

Worth knowing

  • AC setups vary. Some units cool only one room, and a few guests found the lanai AC unit loud enough to spoil sitting outside while it runs.
  • No beach on the property. This is a golf course setting - views are mostly fairways, and you will want a car for beaches and snorkel spots beyond the bay.
  • A quiet-community vibe. A few families found pool rules strict (it closes at sunset) or met neighbors sensitive to noise, and one guest says coqui frogs are loud at night.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The unit was spacious and well stocked. Check in and check out was very convenient. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay in this well appointed condo. Condo was huge, clean and had everything we needed for a week stay- beach towels, beach gear, plenty of towels, laundry detergent… Brian was super responsive via text which made early check in possible. Highly recommended.

This was such a wonderful place to stay! Centrally located, comfortable, well stocked, could not have been more perfect. Staid here with my two elementary school age children and it was the perfect place for kids. The deck outside has a view of the golf course and a beautiful flowering tree. Sitting out there with the kids, playing dominoes and watching birds and geckos will be some of my favorite memories. As will playing with them in the small but not over crowded pool.Snorkel gear was provided (thankfully it fit us) and it is close to a good snorkel spot. But also a good jumping off point for so many other things! A 30 minute or less drive from most of the highlights of the Kona area, and dedicated free parking; it was so convenient. I was sad to leave and if I ever come back here I will 100% try to get this place again.

We had an amazing stay at this Big Island condo! It was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect—close to beautiful beaches, restaurants, market and great places to explore while still being peaceful and relaxing.The host was exceptional—friendly and responsive. Check-in was easy, communication was excellent, and staff on grounds made us feel at home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this condo and host to anyone visiting the Big Island!

An amazing condo! For a mom with three kids, the fully equipped kitchen was a 100 out of 10! What’s more, it had everything needed for the beach (chairs, a mask and fins, water shoes, towels, an umbrella, and even inflatable floats for the little ones and a waterproof phone case for underwater photos!). Morning coffee on the balcony—with a beautiful view of both the ocean and the pool, plus the visiting birds—really made my mornings. There is a KTA store just a five-minute walk away at the plaza (offering an amazing selection of breakfast pastries, a huge variety of poke bowls, and more). I am so glad I stumbled upon this last-minute booking. Paul, the manager, was incredibly kind and welcoming; he called to confirm the reservation just half an hour after I booked and said he would try to get the condo ready before the standard 3:00 PM check-in time (since our flight was landing at 9:35 AM). Sure enough, by noon, we were already snorkeling at the beach with the kids! Thank you!

We loved everything about this stay! The location, the layout, the lanai, the peace and quiet. We were just south of all the hustle and bustle, but still walking distance to some shops and water.

Adam was very responsive and the place was overall quite good! We expected the AC to be in multiple rooms but it was just in one. The kitchen was well stocked with good seal on windows to limit bugs and numerous ant traps. We noticed some gaps in the sealing of the main door and the balcony door and later had to chase a cockroach that snuck in, which I imagine is common for Hawaii. Overall, quite happy with the place!

Amazing place!!! So spacious and beautiful, with a nice pool. If you’re planning to finally get a lot of sleep, forget about it coqui here are very loud (not a host’s fault, they are invasive). This apartment is fully equipped for the guest’s needs: it has a lot of beach and kitchen supplies. You will need to rent a car.
