About this property

Beach Front Condo (Ocean View), Best Snorkeling/Surfing.

This lovely, spacious condo at Kahalu'u Beach (Turtle Beach) has Ocean and Sunset views, and is the perfect escape for guests wanting easy access to swimming, snorkeling, surfing, paddle boarding and golfing. Ours is an unit on the ground floor in the back with views of the ocean and coastline (no stairs and away from street noise).

Our complex, the Beach Villas, is the newest development in Kailua-Kona and offers off-street parking, an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, a cozy lava rock spa, a gas barbecue and a large picnic area with tables, chairs and lounge chairs for family gatherings. The Keikei area of the Infinity Pool is great for kids to play in or simply for all to sit and sunbathe in the shallow water.

Kahalu'u Beach Park across the street is well protected by sea walls, and provides for gentle swimming and a tide pool for kids. Sea turtles and colorful fish of various species are so plentiful making this spot the snorkeling paradise in the Big Island. Immediately to the north past the swimming/snorkeling are the rolling surfs where surf boards may be rented. Guests may use the boogie boards stocked in our unit, saving the trouble of renting boards. Cooler, umbrella, beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel gears and sand toys are all available to guests without extra charges. However, to assure better fits, guests may bring their own gears.

Golfing in the Kona Country Club is only 1/2 mile down the road. Its 4 star Ocean Course offers a spectacular setting of lush, wide fairways, and the sparkling Pacific at one's feet. Its 4-1/2 star Mountain Course overlooking the ocean offers a more challenging terrain with Ancient Hawaiian rock slides running through the center. Its Vista Restaurant has a spectacular view and serves customers breakfast and lunch.

Shopping and restaurants (including the famous Sam Choy's Kai Lanai) are all within a short walking distance, making our condo a comfortable home away from home for guests.

Our condo also offers a full cooking kitchen. Costco is a convenient stop on the way from the airport where guests may stock up for groceries.

NOTE: We charge $15 extra plus tax for optional use of air conditioning.

NOTE: We also own the adjacent condo. Please check out https://www.vrbo.com/731756 and read the numerous 5-star reviews that our guests feel about our property.

Return to the Bug Island with the next generation
We had a wonderful stay at our condo. They did a great job equipping the unit with everything you would want for cooking and outdoor activities. We requested additional boogie boards and they were delivered right away. Keyless entry was ideal for all of us coming and going. We made great use of the pool and hot tub and lived watching the sunsets from our patio.

perfect condo in perfect location
We enjoyed our stay so much we are already scheduled for next year. Everything was great. We come from Wisconsin and are used to sleeping with it pretty cold, so know that you can only turn the air down to 72, they have it set for that temp and you can't change it. So ultimately we didn't really need the air conditioner, which you do pay extra for.

The property was how it was described on the VRBO. It was close to great snorkeling and it was great to have some beach equipment supplied by the host. Only disappointment was that during our stay the pool was closed for maintenance, which also meant the bbq’s were off limits.

Great Location
I travel to Kona a few times a year, and the location of this condo is excellent. Overall, the condo is great. There are a few things that would have made it out of this world. The first one is a full-sized coffee maker. The 4-cup coffee maker was not enough for my husband and myself. We would have to make two pots at least every morning, which is not the best way to start our day. We are serious coffee people. We cooked most of our meals at the condo and found that the kitchen could be better stocked. One tiny sauce pan isn't enough for me. It is also time for a deep clean. Even with the inconveniences I had, I would stay there again.

Great location but . . .
The location of this unit is great; however, the unit is not very clean, the kitchen equipment is random and not in good shape. The coffee maker is a 5 cup! You couldn’t open a bag with the scissors if your life depended on it. The ants all over the kitchen were not a pleasant experience. The property owner and manager were responsive (after I sent a video) and brought in an exterminator, but it didn’t work. Did not like finding out that we were the third set of guests that were dealing with the ants. Made cooking in the unit difficult. The pool is very pretty but too cold to enjoy, especially with an 11 month old. We are Canadian and don’t mind some cold, but the ocean is markedly warmer than this complex’s pool. The hot tub was nice.

Great condo in a fantastic location
This was our first time to the Big Island, and we were fortunate enough to stay at this condo. Beach access is truly just across the street, and the condo complex also has a pool and hot tub. The nearby shopping center was so convenient, and we found the location great in terms of visiting spots north up the coast as well as driving around south to Volcano National Park and Hilo. The property itself naturally split into two sets of bedrooms and bathrooms, which was great for our kids. All the appliances worked well, and it was nice to hear from the property manager that they could make use of the (inevitable) extra food stuffs we had to leave behind. We hope to be back soon!

Good location, a few issues
The condo was in a nice building and in a nice area. It is located across the street from a beach park that is great for snorkeling but not a sandy beach/for kids swimming. The pool and hot tub were very nice and clean. unfortunately there was an ant/bug issue while we were there. They did spray some raid and a company was coming in to spray, it just made it difficult for us to use the kitchen and cook. there were pool noodles, life jackets, a cooler and snorkel stuff which was helpful. there were also pool and beach towels.

Wonderful Kona stay
My husband and I had a seamless stay at this beachview condo with my mother and her sister - for my mom’s 80th birthday celebration. Communication with the owner was perfect, and the condo setup was ideal for our needs. My aunt has mobility issues but still was able to walk to and from the beach by herself. We all enjoyed plentiful hours relaxing on the peaceful lanai. All beds were super comfy. The kitchen was exceptionally stocked - and it seemed like the owners knew the perfect amount of items such as paper towels, toilet paper, soap and towels to supply us with for the four of us for a week. This location is on the busy Ali’i road, which made getting to many sites and stores super easy with our rental car. My mom even walked to a KTA grocery one day! My husband rented a surfboard just steps away and enjoyed a good surf spot right across the street. The beach also has guards and free reef-safe sunscreen during the day. Snorkeling at this beach was fun too. This location was also great for many excursions that we took advantage of. The owner is there for questions but lets you enjoy your vacation without getting involved unless you need him. Extremely convenient keyless entry system. Mahalo, Lawrence!

About the host

Hosted by Lawrence

Host profile image
My family lives in Laguna Beach, Southern California. My wife and I enjoy strolling along the beach taking in the fresh air and watching the beautiful seascape. I also love snorkeling, swimming among colorful tropical fish. My three sons are avid surfers and bogey boarders. They are out there catching the waves whenever they have a free moment.

Why they chose this property

While there is surf and sand in California, we love to vacation in the Big Island of Hawaii frequently because of the bluer and warmer water, the greener and lusher vegetation, the colorful tropical fish and the longer riding waves. Besides, we have many cousins throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

My son jumped at the opportunity of buying VRBO Property #731756 together with a friend when it became available in early 2014. We enjoy the snorkeling and surfing across street from the condo so much that we just bought this second unit in the small beach front complex. We now have two adjacent units at this favorite spot of ours so that our entire family can return together every year --- we never get tired of it.

What makes this property unique

In the mornings, we wake up to enjoy the beautiful ocean view from our lanai. After having our morning cup of coffee, we gather our snorkeling gear and walk across the street to enjoy the best snorkeling spot on the island before the crowds show up. Sometime we are the only ones there and get to see the fish and turtles while the water is still pristine. After about an hour, we head back to the condo for a well deserved breakfast. Later in the afternoon after the crowds have left, we return for another round of snorkeling, surfing, or paddle boarding. There is nothing like NOT having to pack your gear, towels, food, and water; driving your car, and then looking for a parking space.
