This is a beautiful 2 Bedrooom / 2 Bath townhouse directly on the oceanfront at the Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club. This is a gated community with 4 lighted pickleball/ 3 tennis courts, swimming pool, and community BBQ & picnic areas. There is no air conditioning in the unit. There is a nice breeze from the ocean with the windows open and each bedroom has a ceiling fan and a stand-up fan, if desired. At night it can be cool with the ceiling fan and you might need a blanket! Since it is located directly on the oceanfront there is the possibility of the lanai being closed off when the civil defense issues a high surf warning. The complex management will close up the lanai area to protect the townhouse from the surf.
In December 2022, the townhouse had a major renovation. The kitchen was entirely remodeled installing new cabinets and counters, new recessed lighting and new appliances. The laundry facilities are upstairs in the bathroom which has a large shower at the end of the room with a large window overlooking the ocean. The living room, kitchen, bathrooms and stairs have been tiled with travertine. New mattresses were installed in all the bedrooms in May 2019. The downstairs bathroom had a remodel of the shower in August 2019. Living room, dining room and stairwell were freshly painted in March 2021!
Let the soft breeze and ocean waves lull you to sleep in the Makai (toward the ocean) Master Bedroom, furnished with a King bed and cable TV. The tropical Mauka (mountain side) bedroom has two twin beds (easily converted to a King with kit provided), and teak and bamboo furnishings.
Keeping to our motto 'Just Say No to Rugs,' this townhouse sports bamboo hardwood flooring in the bedrooms and tile throughout the ground floor.
From the ground floor Lanai you can watch Spinner Dolphins swim the coastline daily, whales breaching during their migration and incomparable sunsets with the ocean waves literally breaking in front of you. If you were staying anywhere closer you'd be swimming!
Located in the upscale Keauhou area this is a highly desirable, quiet, family-friendly and gated 14 acre garden community featuring 3 lighted tennis courts (tennis pro available), a swimming pool that was fully refurbished in October 2016 and nicely done community BBQ and picnic areas.
Walk to Kahalu’u Beach Park (ranked among the best snorkeling reefs in the Islands) and to the nearby Keauhou shopping center for shops, dining, cinema, groceries, local Farmer's market and free Hula and local community entertainment weekly. Excellent golfing is available at the adjacent Kona Country Club Ocean Golf Course or take the day off and watch the local surfers “shred” a few waves.
This is an excellent and safe walking area with many sights, open expanses of coastline and minimal automobile traffic. The area is great for strolling and rich in historical landmarks and heiau (temples), one of which is adjacent to the unit. This area was once the home of the Ali'i (Hawaiian chiefs) and the waters were once reserved for use only by royalty!
This is a wonderful retreat you are sure to enjoy!
We also have a condo that sleeps four at https://www.vrbo.com/1020417

Nice ocean view. Very convenient area for shore fishing. Definitely will stay there again when there’s no high surf. Excellent communication from the owner, Edgar.

Nice condo with ocean front view. Small unit but it had everything we needed. Nice sunsets from the lanai. Would have liked a tea kettle since we're not coffee drinkers.

We loved the patio. Almost everyday, we were able to watch whales and dolphins. The unit is a short walk to a great beach for snorkeling. There is no AC, but I don’t think AC was necessary with the ocean breeze.

We enjoyed staying at this property. Everything was well maintained and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed. Loved sitting outside for meals and relaxing with beautiful ocean views. The pool is close by and very nice

I've stayed at this complex multiple times before and the proximity to the ocean is incredible. This property is central to all of the places we like to visit on the island and the nearby shopping center is a huge bonus.

If you're looking for an oceanfront condo you can't beat this location. We began and ended each day of our vacation sitting on the patio mere steps from the ocean. Close enough to feel the spray of the surf if we wanted to! The unit was clean and homey. Our family felt quickly at home. The check-in and check-out process was easy and seamless. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We'd love to come back!

Rooms were too hot. Needs AC
Also, the silverware were “cheap” which lessens the experience….

Excellent property with good instructions and timely, responsive communication by the host. Property features were as advertised, the unit was clean, and the beach supplies were very welcome!
I almost gave this 4 stars vs. 5 due to the temperature being difficult to regulate for sleeping. It was in the mid-70's overnight but our bedroom was 86 & 89 degrees and still 82 in the morning. A little more air movement would have been helpful, but overall this is an excellent property to rent for a short or long vacation.

We had an an awesome time staying there. You can swim in a pool or the ocean. Close to convenience stores if you need anything. Looking forward to staying there in the future.
