Location: Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club, Keauhou, Kona Coast, Big Island, Hawaii, USA (In the Kailua-Kona Area - 20 Minutes South of the Airport)
Accommodations: Condominium - Townhouse, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)
The Surf & Racquet 177 townhome is the perfect place for your Hawaiian get-away. It is located directly on the oceanfront on the west side of the Big Island in Keauhou, which is in the Kailua-Kona area. Our guests tell us that it is the "BEST" condo they have stayed in across the Hawaiian Islands!
Listen to the surf as you go to sleep and wake-up in the morning. Watch Hawaiian paddle boats go by, see Dolphins and Sea Turtles in the surf and in the winter months, watch whales breach while sitting on your private lanai. The townhome is fully equipped and beautifully furnished with Hawaiian decor, including vintage photos and beautiful Hawaiian artwork. The kitchen has all of your cooking needs and more! We visit our property routinely to ensure it is well maintained - it is comparable to a 5-star hotel, but better as it has all of the amenities of a home including a full kitchen and a washer/dryer in the unit.
Since it is a townhome, there are not any units above or below you, so it is very private. There is a reserved parking spot, just steps away from the condo. The property is also very close to the large swimming pool area; the pool is good for young and old, as it has a very shallow end for little ones to play and a good area for lap swimming. Directly adjacent to the townhome is a grassy area and historical Hawaiian ruins, which is part of the charm of the Keauhou area, as the Hawaiian royalty chose this area for their home due to the trade winds, sunshine and beautiful location. Come stay where Hawaiian Kings and royatly have lived and experience a vacation of a life time!

We elected to try the condo instead of taking 2 hotel rooms for a family of 4 - priced about the same. It's right on the water... just a few feet beyond the patio is the ocean about 10 feet below. We watched the sunset having dinner on the patio. A shopping center with supermarket is very closeby. Overall a great, comfortable experience....we'll definitely go again!

My fiancee and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in townhome 177. The property was clean and spacious and had an amazing view of the ocean -- it was right out our door! We slept with the windows open and fell asleep to the sounds of the crashing waves. Best of all, the rate was very affordable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others

THUMBS UP FOR THIS CONDO! Great location. Beautiful unit. Love the view and sound of waves. Highly recommended to anyone looking for relaxation and the peacefulness of this complex. This is the best place for a REAL vacation
Positive Rating
We had an excellent time while we stayed at this condo. The condo was well furnished and equiped with everything you would need for a hawaiian vacation. There were beach towels, boogie boards, a lunch cooler and games. The space was ample for 4-5 people. The lanai was comfortable and provided a great view of the ocean. Beach access was easy and there was plenty to do nearby. I would recommend staying on this side of the island and only taking a 1 day trip to the volcano instead of staying on that side of the island. I would highly recommend staying in this condo and would do so again if we ever return to this island.

This was a very nice townhouse on a great spot. The view was awesome and very relaxing. The complex was gated and quiet. I liked exploring the archeological sites on the property. The adjacent beach was nice and the area was quiet. It is close enough to Kona to be convenient, but far enough away to be peaceful. The owners left informative and helpful notes for us and the supplies of soap, shampoo, etc were generous. We would definitely recommend this townhouse to others. We had a very nice stay

My husband and I spent four days at the townhouse and wish that we had spent our entire vacation there. The townhouse was lovely, we had everything we needed, in the kitchen, bath, laundry and even for the beach. The gated community made us feel secure and the pool was very clean and well-maintained. Nice notes around the house gave quick advice that helped create a perfect stay. We were close to so many activities--whale watching tours, beaches, shopping, coffee farms, restaurants, etc. We saw whales spouting just offshore while having breakfast on the lanai, and the sunsets were just beautiful. Nothing can compare with listening to the surf all night long. I would definitely recommend this very clean and well-appointed townhouse to anyone traveling to the Big Island. We are looking forward to returning for a longer stay.

My wife and I honeymooned here. The condo was great. It had everything we needed to make it home for a week so all we had to buy was food and beverage. Since there was just two of us, this condo had more room than we needed but it worked out great. It would also work out well for two couples or a family of 4. The pricing was reasonable and the location right on the ocean was perfect. We highly recommend this condo.

First time visiting the Big Island, and I came with my wife and two teenage daughters, and this was perfect! Two separate bedrooms, and separate beds for each daughter, made the sleeping arrangements perfect. Having a full kitchen, living/dinig room, and 2 full baths made it feel like a home away from home. The lanai overlooking the ocean made the mornings and evenings a delight, seeing the sun rise and set over the wide expanse of hte ocean. It is furnished with everything you could need (beach stuff, dishes, even washer/dryer). Would definitely recommend this property to anyone - correspondence befoe arriving was very detailed, with detailed directions, maps and very responsive to questions. Being about 5 mins from the town, you don't feel like you have to fight the crowds, but can easily access beaches, shops, etc. I have nothing but praise for the property and owner, and am hoping to return and stay here again soon.
Positive Rating
Highly recommended, the condo is right on the water. When the surf is up you can feel the vibrations of the waves pounding the rocks. The views from the condo are great plus the sunsets are also something to see. My wife and i have stayed in Hawaii several times and this was one of the best condos we stayed in. The cost also was not that expensive compered to booking through Orbitz which i have done in the past for trips to Maui If i was to visit the Big Island again i would make every effort to stay there again

This is a piece of paradise! What an amazing place! Located 20 minutes south of the airport, and 5-10 south of downtown Kona, it was the perfect location. This 2BR/2bath condo is oceanfront, with a beautiful lanai with only a few feet of lava separating you from from the Pacific ocean. You are lulled to sleep by the sounds of the waves crashing onto the lava. From this lanai we watched spinner dolphins play every morning, humpback whales pass by, and watched the sun set into the sea. The condo was extremely clean and well furnished, equipped with everything we needed and more! Wireless internet, all cooking utensils, spices, tupperware for picnics, coolers, beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, snorkel equipment, movies, 3 tvs, dvd players, ac, fans, tour books, restaurant recommendations... the list is endless... the owners even had flashlights to use on the search for lava on the evening hike through Volcano National Park! The owners were also very prompt and friendly in all our interactions. The resort itself was well landscaped, with a nice pool and tennis courts, and several ruins of Hawaiian temples and places of worship. It was quiet and peaceful. There is a a small beach at the end of the property that just teems with green sea turtles! Further down the walk, there is Kahalu'u Beach, a salt and pepper sand beach that has great snorkeling and full facilities. It was hard to swim here without almost running into turtles! :) I have nothing negative to say about our stay at TH #177. It was a beautiful place to stay in paradise, that exceeded my expectations in every way. We were tempted to cancel our next reservation on Waikiki Beach so we could enjoy this piece of paradise a bit longer! Location, amenities, decor, activities, view, and cleanliness are all superb. I would love to return there asap!
