Awesome Oceanfront Complex/Keauhou-Kona Surf&Racquet Club/ Central AC Available

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful appartment. Lots of well kept beach toys and close to very good snorkling.

We had a lovely and quiet stay at the Keauhou Surf and Racket Club, conveniently located near Kahalu'u Beach Park with good snorkeling and surfing. The air conditioning was well worth the extra expense since it was hot and we had concerns about the bad vog (volcanic smog) in the Kona area. The back bedroom remained warm due to the distance from the a/c unit in the living room.

The condo is spacious, nicely decorated, modern, and comfortable, and had plentiful beach gear (including beach towels, snorkels, and fins) for us to borrow. The lanai opens to the lawn, an advantage of being on the ground floor, and the kids really enjoyed finding lizards there, as well as swimming in the large pool. This is a gated community with tennis courts and other amenities.

We love visiting Bill and Shirley's condo--we've stayed there four times. The location is perfect for us, as is the calmness of the complex. We love the Big Island, and we love having a place we can call home while we're there. Thank you, Bill and Shirley, for opening your home to us!

Great airflow through the place. Loved the open design. We stayed in April and were very comfortable when we opened the windows/doors and utilized the numerous provided fans. We didn't even need the AC unit. Two bathrooms were just right for the seven of us. Loved eating outside on the Lanai and enjoyed the beautifully manicured grounds. Took early morning stroll to the private beach and enjoyed seeing the many fish in the tide pools. Conveniently close to grocery store and food establishments. Located ideally between the many beaches we planned to visit during our stay. Bill and Shirley were easy to work with and very pleasant. Received damage deposit promptly upon our departure which was nice.

Unit was spacious, clean, updated, and had all the amenities we needed, but no soap and shampoo but was not a big deal. We had other friends staying in the same complex who gave us some. We compared their place to ours and theirs had the early '80s look.

We were out most of the time so only used the pool once, but the kids enjoyed it. it was also nice that there were some snorkeling gear and water shoes available. It's also very quiet so you hear all the critters at night. We were also impressed to find a starfruit tree back of the patio, and the fruit were ripe for eating. We picked a few (hope that was ok) and the starfruit was so tasty. The location was great as we did most of our day trips near by. It was also great having communication with the owners before/ during and after our trip. It gave me a sense of security that they cared for their place and made sure we were comfortable. As other bookings we've made you never hear from the owners which sometimes leaves me a little worried of a booking. We were also lucky with the weather as the forecast kept saying rain, but was usually sunny or a bit overcast, with the rain usually more inland. Only issue with this trip is we needed a few more days to really experience everything. We'll have to come back!
