This lovely, spacious condo at Kahalu'u Beach (Turtle Beach) has incredible Ocean and Sunset views, and is the perfect escape for guests wanting easy access to swimming, snorkeling, surfing 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.

Everything was just as it said! Easy to find and get into - great location right across from Kahalu’u beach park! Amazing view of the beach and ocean from the lanai! Tons of towels - and beach accessories! Would 100% rent again!

Great experience for our family. The ad was accurate, and if anything, understates the positives of this property. The host was responsive and helpful. The property and accompanying amenities were more than we could of hoped for.

We arrived to the big island late and we’re tired from a very long day. We had check in instructions but they didn’t work. We called both numbers listed for help. After conversation we finally were able to get the key and open the door. Lawrence was very apologetic for the miscommunication. The condo was quaint and tastefully decorated. It is in need of a deep clean and some minor maintenance.

I have stayed in at least 10 rentals along Alii Drive in Kona for the last 30 years and I have never rented one in which I was disappointed until now. Upon entering the condo, I was very unhappy to see the dirty condition of the bedroom carpets. I contacted the property manager (owner?) and his excuse was that it is going to be replaced but didn’t happen before our arrival. I’m not sure why it wasn’t cleaned, but it is gross. Maybe someone had a pet because there are dirty marks al over the carpets.
The furnishings are very uncomfortable. The couch and chair are old and sagging in the middle. The master bed is a foam pad with old pillows. The dishwasher is filthy and full of mold. I ran it, thinking it would clean it, but apparently it needs heavy duty cleaning. The patio furniture, however, is great.
The beach chairs are torn and falling apart. One even had some old used bandades in the drink holders. He told me that the housekeeper would bring some new ones but she was actually out of town so we never got them.
The showers are large walk-in tile showers. They really need to install some safety bars. There is no place to put your soap unless you want it on the ground so we improvised and used a plastic cup. When we arrived, there was no bath soap provided and limited supplies such as 4 trash bags, 2 very skinny rolls of paper towels, 3 rolls of toilet paper and a tiny sponge which was cut in half. I had to buy laundry soap since there was so little available. And you are asked to wash the beach towels before you leave. More soap would have been nice too.
Air conditioner is an extra $15 per day with 17% tax added. Luckily it was comfortable with just the ceiling fans. The condo does not get direct sunlight in October so it stayed cool.
The location of this condo is great, right across the street from a great snorkel beach. IF the owner cleaned things up, it would be a nice place to stay.

We stayed at this condo for a week and were 100% satisfied. The kitchen was well stocked for making some meals in and we were amazed at the amount and variety of beach/water supplies, from plenty of beach towels to a beach umbrella and even snorkeling gear! My biggest worry about hotels/rentals is the cleanliness and the condo was super clean. The host, Lawrence, was great about communicating what we needed to do for arrival and departure, and even provided a really handy list of recommended restaurants (which we used and fully agree with!). Lastly, I cannot say enough about this location. The view from the lovely patio was beautiful. We were close to everything, plus had a great beach right across the street that is perfect for snorkeling. I absolutely recommend this condo and hope to stay again some day.

Second time we have stayed at the Kahuluu beach villas and absolutely love it! Love the first floor location too! The home was stocked adequately, but wish there were a few more beach towels, foil and Saran Wrap. My only complaint in the amount of toilet paper they give you. They only give you enough for a few days and said we needed to go to the store if We needed more. If I’m paying for 6 days I believe we should get enough toilet paper for 6 days. Just my opinion.

This Kahaluu condo is a newer construction. It’s very clean and well equipped with kitchen wares, towels, and beach stuff. It’s on the first level so a little dark inside with very little natural light. The window in the master bedroom was mostly covered up by a giant tv. Would have rather looked out at ocean. So, that was strange considering there was a giant tv in the family room. The community pool was nice and my husband enjoyed the jacuzzi as well. The location is great. It’s right across street from a well known snorkeling beach. It happened to be closed all week we were there because the coral was spawning. 😕I would recommend this property if you will be venturing out a lot and using it as a home base.

My dad, sister and I stayed here and we absolutely thoroughly enjoyed it! The location is great. Just a few minutes drive into downtown Kona but the best part is it’s right across the street from Kahalu’u beach park which has awesome snorkeling. The condo has all you need for the beach - snorkel gear, towels, boogie boards. The best part was the patio. The picture on the listing does not do the view justice at all. You can watch surfers while relaxing with your morning coffee. Everything was clean and well stocked. The pool is also amazing! The communication from the property manager was great and although we didn’t need anything- I am confident he would have been available if needed. If I ever go back to the Big Island I will definitely be staying here.

So enjoyed staying in this beautiful condo. Beds were really comfortable and the second bathroom was just as nice as the master so made it very nice for 2 couples. We were very comfortable with the fans in all the rooms and did not need the ac. Added bonus was the fan on the lanai. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Check in and check out was excellent and Lawrence and Evelia were great to work with and prompt to answer any questions. Location is wonderful and we enjoyed the quick walk to the snorkeling at Kahaluu Beach. Swimming pool and the hot tub were beautiful and we enjoyed them both. Love to return to this wonderful place in our favorite place to be!

Property was nice, location to the beach was excellent. Only 2 things I didn’t like, one was having to pay extra for air conditioning, only because I didn’t think the ac worked that well/kept the place cool. Also, the pillows desperately need an update!
The host was great and easy to get a hold of if I needed anything. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

We loved our stay. Snorkeling at the beach right at the Condo was amazing and we loved starting our day having breakfast on the porch watching the view and listening to the waves.
