Rental Details

Rental Overview

There are places you visit, and then there are places you'll remember long after you've returned home. Perched on the top floor in what many consider the most desirable location within Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club, this remarkable north-facing corner condo invites you to experience Hawaiʻi from an entirely different perspective.

From the moment you step inside, your eyes are drawn outward to an extraordinary panorama that seems to stretch forever. The expansive wrap-around lanai showcases breathtaking nearly 270-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, the Kona coastline, majestic mountains, and unforgettable Hawaiian sunsets. Gentle trade winds flow naturally through the home, creating the perfect setting to enjoy your morning Kona coffee, spend the afternoon watching dolphins and seasonal whales offshore, or unwind each evening as the sky transforms into brilliant shades of orange, pink, and purple.

Inside, the open-concept living space is bright, spacious, and beautifully designed. Vaulted ceilings create an airy atmosphere while the fully remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home, offering everything needed to prepare anything from a quick breakfast before exploring the island to a memorable dinner enjoyed with the stunning ocean backdrop. The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, dishes, small appliances, and all the essentials for a comfortable stay.

As one of the coveted corner units, this condo features an extended lanai that offers significantly more outdoor living space than interior units. Whether you're enjoying breakfast as the sun rises over the mountains, spending the afternoon watching the waves roll in, or relaxing with a glass of wine at sunset, you'll quickly discover that much of your vacation is spent outdoors, surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery on the Kona Coast. Gentle trade winds flow naturally through the corner location, creating a refreshing and comfortable atmosphere throughout the day.

The primary suite features a luxurious king-sized bed where you'll wake each morning to island breezes and peaceful surroundings. The guest bedroom offers a comfortable king-sized bed, making this home ideal for couples, families, or friends traveling together. The primary bathroom includes a spacious walk-in shower, while the second bathroom features a convenient tub and shower combination, providing flexibility for every guest.

Comfort extends well beyond the furnishings. Split air conditioning throughout the unit keeps every room cool year-round, and unlike many units, the air conditioning condenser has been elevated above the roofline rather than positioned beside the lanai. This thoughtful design eliminates the hot air discharge and mechanical noise often experienced on outdoor living spaces, allowing you to fully enjoy the peaceful lanai without interruption.

Thoughtful conveniences throughout the home include complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, cable television, an in-unit washer and dryer, and comfortable furnishings that make settling in effortless from the moment you arrive.

Beyond your front door, Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club offers one of the most sought-after oceanfront settings on the Kona Coast. This gated tropical community features beautifully landscaped grounds, tennis and pickleball courts, an oceanfront swimming pool, barbecue areas, and direct access to the dramatic lava shoreline where waves crash against the coast. Keauhou Bay, snorkeling, manta ray adventures, shopping, restaurants, golf, and some of the island's most beautiful beaches are all just minutes away.

While this condo offers every comfort for a relaxing stay, it's truly the location that sets it apart. Few places on Hawaiʻi Island combine panoramic ocean views, exceptional privacy, refreshing trade winds, and such easy access to everything the Kona Coast has to offer. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, an extended island escape, or simply searching for the perfect place to watch the sun disappear into the Pacific each evening, this unforgettable retreat delivers an experience you'll want to return to year after year.

The lanai was amazing with its view and the roominess. The condo was great, the only issues we had was that all the closet doors kept coming off the tracks and the door for the hot water heater was broken.

Property was excellent. Awe inspiring views. Loved the feel of the property. Has tennis corts, swimming pool and is gated. Has parking assigned; however someone parked in our spot for several days. We parked in convenient vistor parking. Also BBQ area covered. Easy to go to attractions and sites and not feel crowded.

The views can't be beat. The location of the condo is close to all the amenities that are on site. It does have everything you could need for the stay, I've rented other places that don't provide things like garbage bags, dishwasher and laundry soap and I brought some with me and didn't have to use it.

This is our third stay at this condo and our fourth at KKSR. We love it here and hope to be back every year! Beautiful ocean views - so nice to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the waves. We really enjoy relaxing on the lanai while eating fresh fish and local fruit. Great location - we walk to the snorkeling beach each day!

We loved having this condo, as our home base while staying Kona. The location is perfect, you can not beat the view. Pool was beautiful, temperature just right. It was so nice to swim in fresh water after being at the beach all day. Condo was well stocked and comfortable, thank goodness for the AC. Thank you for having us and we hope to be back again!

Beautiful place. Gorgeous view. Needed more towels. Had a family of 6 and was not provided enough towels. Had all the snorkel gear, chairs, umbrella and everything you could think of for the beach. Tennis balls and pickle ball gear all provided. Air conditioning was amazing! All dishes and kitchen utensils provided and in good working condition. Only was given one laundry soap pack, we stayed a week with 6 people and didn’t receive a response from manager to acquire more.
