About this property

Beautiful Ocean/Beachfront Property and A Private Back Yard! AC in both BDRMS!

Rest assured you're staying in licensed Hawaii Short Term Vacation Rental (STVR) when you book this lovely unit. Our STVR # is STVR 19-358769
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This unit has two standalone AC units: there is one in each bedroom. To promote further air movement, if desired, we have ceiling and pedestal fans located in the main living area and both bedrooms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


We understand that our guests’ may have additional concerns for cleaning and dis-infection and we have enhanced our cleaning procedures even further to provide you with our usual sparkling clean arrival with deliberate sanitizing attention to high-touch surfaces.

In addition to our already rigorous cleaning standards, we are using cleaning products and guidelines approved by CDC, to clean, disinfect and sanitize. We continue to offer contactless check-in and ensure that you are the first to enter after the unit has been cleaned.



Welcome to our vacation home at the Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club (KKSRC) on the Kona/sunny-side of the Big Island of Hawaii.

We first visited Kona in 1999 and found the Surf & Racquet Club in 2003. We were hooked!

Our oceanfront location is perfect! It's next to the ocean and a beach and less than ½ mile from Kahalu’u Beach Park and the Keauhou Shopping Center with it’s many stores and restaurants. (Kahalu'u Beach Park is also known as Turtle or Snorkel Beach.)

Kahalu’u Beach Park is our favorite snorkeling park in all of Hawaii. The fish and turtles are plentiful and there are bathrooms, parking, reasonably easy access in and out of this protected bay and visitors can rent beach or snorkel gear here, as well, if needed.

Our lovely townhouse has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. Guests can choose to eat indoors at the dining table or there's another table and chairs on our oceanfront lanai.

There are two TVs and wifi for indoor entertainment.

And, we have installed air-conditioning in both bedrooms to provide extra assurance of cool and comfortable rest in the event guests prefer more than fans and ocean breezes.

We also provide beach towels, cooler and there's usually a beach chair or two, an umbrella, and a boogie board for guests to use.

The views when you enter this unit are breathtaking AND you get to enjoy those same views throughout the unit. The view from king/oceanfront bedroom upstairs is particularly stunning; you can watch and listen to the surf from the king bed and spot the yellow tang and turtles frolicking in the blue, aquamarine surf.

During the late spring and summer months you can even watch the sunsets from the bedroom – they’re straight out for your viewing pleasure.

Our décor is very simple and allows guests to easily move in and call the place their own. Most of the artwork is from local artists and reflects the tropical beauty that is found throughout Hawaii. Travertine floors throughout keep feet clean and cool.

And, it’s easy to enjoy your own private backyard in this lovely end-unit with grass surrounding three sides. Also, there’s lush greenery between the yard and the ocean so that children are protected by this natural barrier. Still, if you want to go down to the beach it’s a simple two-minute walk to access the path around the neighboring building.

There are three sacred heiaus on our 15 + acre tropically landscaped property; several on and around beach and during low tide you can even find petroglyphs on the exposed rocks between tide pools. The property inland from beach and next to us is actually being transitioned into a cultural center park because of the richness of history in this area.

In the winter we enjoy additional sightings of the humpback whales and even witnessed an ever-so-rare-to-see birthing in March 2015. Spinner dolphins can be seen along the coastline nearly every day and kayakers, tour boats, and outrigger canoes paddle by pretty routinely.

And, whenever you feel more adventuresome it’s easy to get into the car and drive to hundreds of other lovely places on this big beautiful island. There are world-class beaches, boogie boarding and snorkeling, an active volcano, tropical rainforests, Kona coffee plantations, historic and sacred places, and more. We’re still exploring this lovely place almost 20 years after our first visit.

The complex has a delightful swimming pool which is suitable for young and old alike. There are 1-3 feet depths at the shallow end of the pool and then lengthwise it goes from 4 to 8 feet so you can easily get in some laps or just playfully float around.

If you like to play tennis then this is the place for you. Our recently resurfaced and lighted tennis courts are free for our guests and we even supply a few racquets. There’s a pro available if you want to schedule a lesson or two as well.

All in all – if you’re looking for a wonderful place in paradise – this is it!

Can't Get Any Closer To The Ocean!

Million Dollar views! Conveniently located to town. Not too close, not too far. Was there for Ironman and it was a perfect place to be. Bedrooms were comfortable and each had an air conditioner unit that worked very well. Kitchen had updated appliances. Beautiful little community with a pool and tennis courts. We had a choice of watching the sunsets from the lanai, or a 1 minute walk to the beach. Sandy was super nice and easy to work with. Would stay there, again, in a heartbeat!

Great little townhome at the ocean's edge

Loved this townhome. It was perfect for my husband, 2 boys (14 & 17) and I. The place is well stocked with everything you need, and then some. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the lanai, watching the sunset, turtles, tons of yellow fish, birds, etc. The Big Island never disappoints! There is a nice little rocky beach with trees/shade adjacent to the property that are perfect for morning strolls, exploring, lounging, etc. We will be staying here again. Highly recommend!

Perfect Location

The location was absolutely perfect! We made sure to have our morning coffee and watch sunsets on the lanai each day. It never got super uncomfortable, but we really appreciated the A/C in the bedroom at night. Well stocked, and loved that we had use of beach equipment. Great communication with the host. 100% would rebook.

Comfy ocean front condo

We (two adults, one teen) enjoyed our stay at the condo. We found it as described. It's dated, but clean and spacious. The location was perfect for us as it was easy access to the town and the boat docks, but far enough away from town that it felt like a nice respite. It had all the suplies we needed and we were comfortable with the in room AC. We spent all of our time in the ocean, so didn't use the pool or courts, but they looked nice.

Absolute Paradise!

Just the perfect combination of location, relaxed amenities, ease of arrival and departure for the price. We found the snorkeling steps from our backyard to rival the other local beaches, wonderful restaurant's, shopping, and grocery close by and the best Kona coast attractions were also within reasonable driving distance. The unit had everything we needed for a restful getaway and the community was quiet with an amazing pool. We loved our time there and I cannot stress enough the view from the Lanai. SUNSETS we will never forget! We will be back Sandy!

Awesome, beautiful, and....unforgettable!

The perfect place to celebrate our 40th anniversary...11 nights...the sound of the ocean every night lulling us to sleep! Kitchen was wonderful to fix many of our own meals! Great home base to see the island... from the warm volcano to the peak of Mauna Kea for sunrise...and the fabulous beach at Kekaha Kai State Park, Makalawena Beach...well worth the 45 minute hike! You cannot go wrong to stay in Sandy's place! Thank you Sandy for sharing!

STUNNING HOME IN A GREAT LOCATION

This home is absolutely beautiful and fully stocked with appliances, cooking utensils, dishes, and they even provided us with some welcoming local snacks to warm our welcome when you first enter the door. Okay and THAT VIEW. We made sure to be home to watch the sunsets from the back porch every night because it is just beautiful. 10/10 would stay here again. Not to mention, Sandy was very quick to respond and easy to communicate with.

I hate to give a good review because it will only encourage others to want to rent this place....and make it more difficult for me to get the dates I want? This place is really paradise. We have returned many times to this same unit and ALWAYS found it clean, comfortable and relaxing. We feel like family when we stay here. Sandy is the Best and all her units are all very well maintained! We can't Wait for our next trip....

Very comfortable oceanfront unit

This townhouse is right on the water. Even though it is part of a large complex, the landscaping and location make it very private. Sunsets off the patio are stunning. The unit itself is simple but well furnished and equipped. It got very hot and muggy one evening and, although there is no AC, the numerous fans kept us very comfortable. You really can't ask for more.

Perfect!

We loved this place! The location is great. Views are amazing. Parking is just steps from the front door. Loved having coffee (complimentary Kona beans are yummy) on the lanai, walking on the adjacent beach, and watching the sunsets. The condo is well appointed. Loved that Sandy had a blender for our morning smoothies and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook dinners. Lots of fans so that air conditioning wasn't necessary. Beach chairs were a great touch. Would love to stay here again!

Nice stay

The condo was exactly as described, and is in a great location right on the ocean. Communication with the host was excellent. The bedroom a/c units do a good job keeping the bedrooms cool, but we personally found the rest of the condo a bit too warm for our liking when we were there in September 2022. However, other reviewers thought it was comfortable without the a/c on around the same time, so it's a matter of preference.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy

Host profile image
I love to travel and I love Kona! I also enjoy working with people and helping them to explore and discover this magical big island and have the best visit possible. I feel strongly that if I can't do it right - I simply shouldn't do it. My lovely housekeeper/property manager and our cleaning team feels the same way. We're a dynamite team!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club in 2003, returning in 2005 and purchasing our first townhouse in 2006. I networked with the owner of this (2nd) unit for 2 years prior to experiencing the good fortune of having the opportunity to purchase it. It's a gorgeous and exceptional unit (much like our first). It's less than 30 feet to the surf, it's an end unit surrounded by grass, shrubs AND, best of all, it's got oceanfront views from EVERYWHERE in the unit except one bedroom and one bathroom. The view from the master bedroom is better than any other unit I've ever stayed in!! Also, parking is 20 feet from front door, there's a beach with turtles outside your back door and an ancient heiau on the beach!! An exceptional find anywhere and a delight to share with guests!

Multiple times each and every day I look out the window/s and thank my lucky stars for being so blessed. It's a wonderful place.

What makes this property unique

This is an end unit; it has a delightful grassy back yard that is really just yours when you're there - a beach that you can be walking on within two minutes OR a wonderful pool two minutes the other direction. The unit is furnished simply so you can make it your own when you're there - no do-dads, etc...but everything you need to enjoy a home away from home is at your fingertips. We love our home away from home and do everything we can to make sure YOU do, too. And, we've been exceptionally lucky to enjoy guests that visit repeatedly and guests that just appreciate our property and take good care of it in our stead. We'd love to share it with you so you can feel the magic of this wonderful place. Aloha!
