About this property

Rare BEACH FRONT Home at Kona Surf and Racquet Club

Our "Hale Honu" (turtle house) is a rare find in Kona. There are many ocean view homes in Kona but very few beach front properties. You can walk out the back door to your own semi-private beach and drop yourself in the sand. Watch the whales, dolphins and manta rays. Turtles find this beach a quiet and peaceful resting place so enjoy them from a distance as they sleep on the sand. A few minutes down the beach you will see native Hawaiian Petroglyphs and Heiau's. You will not have to leave the property to enjoy all the amazing culture.

Look out over the grassy lawn from your lanai that previews the tropical shrubbery where your own path to the beach only a few steps away. The beach is an oasis to put on reef walker shoes and explore the home of Hawaiian sea turtles or to spread out beach chairs or mats and share some first-class beach time with those you love. All sorts of tropical birds are attracted to the lush tropical growth in our location and will often wait for a treat just off the lanai.

Enjoy your oceanfront location with seating for four at a dining table with glass top in the shade of your covered lanai with overhead ceiling fan. Stretch out on the lounge if you are trying to add to that summer tan. Have a morning cup of Kona coffee with your breakfast that can be handed via a pass through window from the kitchen or in the evening; have a BBQ or your own prepared gourmet dinner with an incredible sunset for your backdrop. There is no better location in any restaurant in Kona.

Located on world-famous Ali'i Drive the Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club is a 4-star Oceanfront Resort located 4.5 miles south of Kailua-Kona town. This gated complex is just 1/8 mile away from the Keauhou Shopping Center, which has a grocery store, restaurants, shops, a bank, a post office and a cinema. Even better ,we are a 1/2 mile from one of the most popular snorkeling beaches in Hawaii - Kahalu'u State Park (also known as Turtle Beach).

Your home away from home is a two story, two bed, two bath island home close to both the pool and ocean in your backyard. This home has been beautifully decorated with an elegant but homey quaint romantic cottage feel. It was recently remodeled to include: AC [AC has a fee for your stay] throughout, new appliances and everything you would need to call home and have a great vacation.
Watch the sunset from the beach or your Lanai and enjoy the sunrise in your bed looking out over the water and waves. Enjoy all the attention to details for your full enjoyment to include high speed WiFi, iPhone speakers, Netflix and more. This is the perfect place for you to get away and enjoy all of what Kona has to offer. Make yourself at home. Stays over 10 days require additional cleaning fee . Pull out sofa bed in living room must be requested and paid for prior to arrival. This rental is for 4 people . Additional guests must be approved.

Superior townhouse
This townhouse is located in an immaculately landscaped and maintained complex. The home is very tastefully decorated, well maintained and exceptionally well supplied. The shore is just a few steps from the back door and a sandy beach is just a few steps more. We would highly recommend this rental.

Full disclosure
We enjoyed our stay & the property was clean and functional. HOWEVER-after looking back at the VRBO listing…I don’t feel it is well represented. 1. This is a 2 story condo in a complex that includes a large number of condos. It’s pretty dense. Probably over 100 units. 2. This place is good for kids. That means there are a LOT of kids. If that’s your thing-awesome. If not, be advised. 3. There is no smoking on this property-cool. But your neighbors can smoke & they are 5 feet away. Be advised. 4. This is not a sandy beach. It’s a hard black lava, ‘big island’ beach and you will NOT want to walk barefoot. Snorkel at your own risk….. 5. The view from the beach bedroom is fantastic and the sunsets are AMAZING. We slept w the window open to hear the surf. 6. There is a nearby shopping center including a grocery store that is convenient. Would we return? Only if we were traveling with children.

Peaceful beachfront condo!
The location of this property can't be beat. You are right on the ocean with a beautiful beach steps from the door. The condo is well decorated - like staying in a home instead of a rental. It was so peaceful and cozy we really hated to leave. Nancy was great about communicating with us. Highly recommend!!

Cozy, clean, good location
This condo was clean and well equipped (nice and plentiful bath towels!). The location is beautiful, although not a swimming beach. Everything worked, including A/C as needed. We enjoyed having meals on the lanai. The complex is very quiet, which is what we had hoped for. The swimming pool is nothing special, no view and could use a refresh. The shopping center up the hill was convenient with a grocery store and good restaurants. The only suggestion I have would be to put thicker cushions on the lounge chairs. We enjoyed our stay!

Nice condo in beautiful location
Really enjoyed having the ocean right outside the window and being able to walk to the black sand beach maybe 100 feet to the south to watch schools of yellow tang fish feed in the surf. The unit, although small, had a well equipped kitchen. Could use bathroom fans. And although the in-room safe is a definite plus, the fact that it didn’t lock and no one could figure out how to get it to do so while we were there was a drawback. All in all though the location makes this one a winner.

Beautiful Ocean Front Property
This property is true to pictures. The view is really even more beautiful! We were two couples and the rooms and bathrooms worked well. Beds were comfortable and the air conditioning and overhead fans worked perfectly. This was all of our first trip to the Big Island. It is definitely quiet and perfect for a couples retreat or catching up with friends of thirty years like we did.

Quiet Oceanfront Condo
Private and relaxing oceanfront unit in a well cared for resort. We spent many an hour just reading and relaxing on the lanai where all we could hear was the ocean waves and singing birds. The resort was decorated beautifully for the holidays which made it quite magical in the evening. Stargazing was wonderful as the location was not over lit at night. Parking was designated and convenient to the unit. Condo was well stocked with linens, kitchen was adequate to our needs.

Cute and comfy
Of course the location and views were amazing. However something we really appreciated was the coziness of this unit. The furniture and decor (yes there was actually artwork on the walls) was well thought out and beautiful. It was nice to be in a unit that felt like it had been decorated intentionally and not with household leftovers and garage sale finds… like many Hawaii rentals seem to be. This was a great size for my husband and I and our adult son and fiancé. We had everything we need plus more (not sure why there are so many brooms in this unit, but ok). The AC was comfortable, kitchen well stocked albeit snug, and the keyless entry is always a plus! The complex is quiet and tucked away from the Ali’i road noise too. Pool is pleasant but we didn’t make use of tennis courts since it was so warm while we were visiting. Oh, only downside was the smart TV downstairs is not-so-smart. A small $50-70 Roku would fix that though!

Great waterfront quiet retreat!
I can’t think of enough good things to say, and no negative. First and most important, the host was really nice and responded to questions quickly. You’ve seen a description of the condo, so I won’t rehash it. One thing of note: the bedrooms are real rooms, not paper walls like in many other rentals. The beds are very comfortable, better than my bed at home. The waves crashing on the rocks right outside was awesome. And great sunsets from the patio overlooking the ocean. One thing to know - the beach here is a mix of volcanic rock, broken coral, and pea size gravel. At least in October the waves were too rough and too many large rocks for any swimming, surfing, or snorkeling here. But there is a beach a half mile away with that. Overall this place was great, nice condo, nice grounds, very quiet, and that view! I would absolutely stay again and encourage you to stay here.

An enjoyable stay at the turtle house
My husband, son and I enjoyed our stay at the turtle house. It is located right on the beach (swimming is possible at high tide) and we saw the infamous turtles. It was a short drive to Kona and to Captain Cook’s monument. The condo had everything we needed. Plus lots of amenities on the property including ping pong table and pickle ball. It was great to have paddles as well as beach gear for our use. We were sad to leave this beautiful island.

Stunning Sunsets!
The main picture on VRBO is very accurate! The property is in a great location for Sunsets and relaxing by the ocean. The townhome was a little smaller than expected but other than that it suited us just fine. We snorkeled only once in that area bc it’s too rocky but we waded out amongst the volcanic rock and saw plenty of fish, turtles and other sea life. The pool was great and a good place to go to cool off after a long day of sightseeing. ‘The townhome could use some maintenance and updates but was well stocked and great location. We were very happy with our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Cairns

Host profile image
They call us the "adventure" couple. We love to travel and have fun. This island is perfect for those looking for an amazing life experience. We started coming to the Island over 25 years ago and continued to come back. This island stole our hearts and continues to give us amazing stories to tell each time we visit. We love the surfing, boogie boarding, hiking, kayaking, music and all the island has to offer. Out of all the condos we stayed in KKKS was the best and we love our community. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. It’s a magical experience as you can see from our reviews.

Why they chose this property

We have spent a lot of time designing this home to make your experience special. We did not spare any expense in transforming this home into a romantic hide away for you and your family. We know you will return year after year. We are one of the few units with full mini split AC. As the weather changes you will appreciate its use.

What makes this property unique

This property is on a semi-private pepper sand beach with views from all the windows. You will love the property and updated atmosphere. Only a few properties in Kona with this type of view and detail. You will enjoy the waves crashing at night as you slumber after a hard day of play.
