Property Description
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, 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! com/1020417

This rental has a spectacular view! We are thrilled that we were able to spot Humpback whales every day from the lanai. We watched outrigger canoe groups, kayakers, and other boats. Each day was concluded watching the sunset hoping to see the green flash. And we enjoyed the.sweet little birds keeping us company by the lanai. The rental is clean, comfortable, well stocked. Edgar, the owner, was very attentive when a couple of questions came up, which we greatly appreciate.

Enjoyed the ocean views and saw whales and dolphins. The pool and surrounds at the Surf and Racquet Club were outstanding. The unit itself was quite comfortable nut could use a little updating. All in all a delightful stay.

The complex was very safe and matched the island vibe perfectly! Also the condo's decor was cute and reminded me of the birds we saw during our hikes. I could for sure live there and sleep next to the ocean every night. My first Vrbo experince went as smoothly as it could go and my friend and I had a great time!

Thank you for letting us stay! Watching the whales from the veranda was a wonderful bonus! Sunsets didn’t disappoint either!

Great location and view of the ocean. The townhouse was clean and the property was well-maintained. The kitchen was very well-stocked with the implements and utensils that we needed for a week. We would stay there again.

First, the direct ocean front access was completely incredible. It was so soothing to watch the sunset on the back porch and hear the waves all night long. The house was clean, in a great location, and it was helpful to have parking directly in front of the entry door. There was plenty of space in both bedrooms as well as the bathrooms. We didn't have time to use any of the beach equipment because of other things we had planned, but there was a ton of it under the staircase storage room. There is no AC, which was a little rough at first. But having all of the windows open and fans helped circulate the breeze through the house. Other than that, it's a great property!

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.
