Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club#5-201

We spent 7 nights in January, with 4 adults and the rooms, bathrooms, and space were perfect for our family.

The waves were crashing hard against the shore just below the lanai and we took in an amazing display of the power of the ocean. The sounds were spectacular, and surprisingly, when the sliding doors and windows are closed it muffled the sound a bit. The high surf can affect the lower units in this building and the owners we spoke with in the nearby units were very helpful and friendly about the weather.

The unit has wonderful cross breezes in both bedrooms and living spaces, great screened windows and doors, and more fans than we needed. We saw lots of humpbacks from the unit and lanai, and spent a lot of time just enjoying the open air space.

The unit itself is much nicer than the photos show, its more spacious, very very clean (including furniture, floors, and linens) and includes a fully stocked kitchen that enabled our family chef to cook meals every day of fresh Ahi Tuna, Parker Ranch beef, classic Italian, local fruit juices and avocado toasts, and of course spam! The Hala Tree Coffee Farm is 15 minutes away and we toured and stocked up on coffee for the week.

We did not use the many amenities, instead we explored during the day and enjoyed coffee and dinners on the lanai.

Service was accessible and friendly, as easy as a text away to answer any questions.

Definitely a favorite location for future south Kona stays.

This is an oceanfront corner condo on the second floor with a wrap around balcony which is very spacious and perfect for meals, lounging and watching sunsets.
We really enjoyed our stay. The location is very close to Kona and there's a black sand beach which is 5 minutes walk along the main road.

The best part about this property is the outstanding, near-immediate response from Knutson & Assoc, whether it's about area information or rental questions. They are above first class.

While the condo advertises that it accommodates four people, it really only comfortably accommodates two. Both bathrooms have only one sink, and the master bedroom opens to the general living area and kitchen. It would be okay for two adults and two children. Noise from the unit above can penetrate, but it is tolerable.

The living area and kitchen are large and open onto a beautiful lanai, which commands a wonderful view of the ocean and is likely where you will eat all your meals. This is a large condominium resort with a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, but no hot tub. It is south of Kona proper and well-located for venturing north or south. It is close to two beaches, but they are usually overcrowded. The best beaches are about an hour north.

We enjoyed this place as our first time on the Big Island.

Ocean front , second floor, classy , relaxing condo. Looking right out at the ocean day or night, never got old. Everything we needed for the beach or cooking was provided. Comfortable beds

Manager's Response

Mere yards from impressive, crashing waves, colorful sunsets, clean, inviting swimming pool, common barbeques, tennis and pickleball courts, steps away from oceanside golf, and so much more. Tasteful, modern, updated furnishings. It's the perfect place to experience The Big Island.

This apartment had amazing views of the sunset and the ocean. The lanai was so relaxing to hang out on after a long day of exploring.
The only negative thing I have to say is the main bed in the master room isn't the most comfortable. Other than that, it was very clean and well taken care of.

We stayed for 9 nights at #5-201, which is a part of a well upkept gated community. The unit is amazing - spacious main room and granite top kitchen, 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. Huge corner lanai where you can watch spectacular sunsets while having a dinner (yes, it's exactly as shown in the unit's pictures!). Unit does not have an AC, but we did not feel that we need one (in late August).
There's a good grocery store nearby and we often cooked for dinner (the kitchen is well equipped).
Very clean, feels very recently furnished. There's new washer and dryer in one of the bathrooms.
We very greeted by the host representative, Heather, who showed us the unit; she was very nice and even came back and brought us a new pitcher filter. Great communication with the host company.
There's a beach next to the complex - not really a swimming one, but nice for an evening stroll. Less than a mile to the popular Kahalu'u beach, 5 min to Keahou harbor (if you're up for tour), 12 min to Kona, 25 min to Two Step beach (our favorite).
We enjoyed our stay here very much.

Everything was up to our expectations. We had a wonderful time in family on Big Island and the #201 was part of the fun we had together. Grocery store was close so we enjoyed diner at home. I would surely rent this place again...

Manager's Response

Beautiful and spacious rental. The one downside was no A/C. Ceiling fan in master bedroom was not effective and was too warm inside.

Manager's Response

Well, I’m hooked! We just had the best start-cation of our lives! This unit is so perfect... Nice and spacious with those amazing jaw-dropping ocean/sunset views! Everything was well-appointed and comfortable. We cooked most meals in the unit and had everything we needed. Loved the full-size fridge. Great linens, etc. Now about the complex...Pickleball every day? Oh my gosh I was in heaven! And our whole family learned how to play. When we weren’t playing pickleball, the boys were out on the rocks right in front of our unit fishing. They caught a few things that we cooked and ate. All of the Owners and tenants in the complex are so friendly and nice. It was such a laid-back feel with nobody breathing down our neck. We just loved it! And, like I said, I’m hooked - I’ve already started planning our next vacation at this complex, and even maybe in our same unit! Thank you so much for the best vacation of our lives. MAHALO!

This was a perfect location for us! It was right on the ocean with a stunning view. We enjoyed having coffee and meals on the lanai and watching the sunset in the evenings.

We have stayed many places in Kona and this has to be one of our most favorite. It feels private and spacious with expansive ocean views. We have already recommended it to family and friends and will absolutely be back to enjoy this spectacular place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this property. We most liked being within feet of the ocean and hearing the waves constantly. The unit was clean and well appointed. Knutson was quick to respond to any questions. We were looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation and this unit was perfect.
