“ The condo is well furnished and equipped with most everything you need for an enjoyable stay. We did not need the aC unit in april, nice breezes and ceiling fans kept the unit cool. Close to great snorkeling and the many farmers markets nearby are a treat. Would recommend Sam Choy's new restraurant for great dining. Hope to stay there again. ”

“ I stayed at Townhome 176 with my wife, my 9-year old child and grandpa. It's a very comfortable home, with great sea view. Everything worked fine. It's so close to the sea that I would be afraid to be there during a storm! Walking distance to the mall and to an amazing beach for snorkelling. ”

Sleep to the sound of the surf

Past Kama'aina from Denver on 01/22/2012 said:

“ Excellet townhome condominium on the water south of Kailua-Kona. Well furnished and completely renovated recently, the unit is most comfortable. Located at the south end of alii Drive, the location is close to the Keauhou Shopping center and the snorkling at Kahalu`u Bay, one of the island's best snorkeling sites. The unit has a washer and drier which is most important if anyone wants to spend time in the water. The stairs could be a problem for anyone with a disability. ”

“ The condo was equipped as advertised. The ocean view was fantastic. The club/condo complex is neat & quiet. All bedrooms are located upstairs - this might be a consideration for mobility impaired, older individuals & families with very young children (unless they bring a safety gate). ”

Ironman visit

Overall rating:
Ironman from Lake Charles, LA on 10/16/2011 said:

“ Overall we were very pleased with our visit at Townhome 176. We came to participate in the Ironman and the location worked well. It was only a 5 mile trip race headquarters and allowed us to avoid the congestion associated with the race. The shopping center nearby was convenient and had a very good Italian restaurant which was nice for the pasta pre-load. We particularly liked the end unit location which was very private and quiet. The reserved parking spot was just a few steps away. The temperatures on Kona were unusually high for October. We utilized the first floor window aC unit but it wasn't able to cool the 2nd floor where the bedrooms are located. We're from a southern State and missed the aC on the 2nd floor, but there was a nice breeze which cooled things down by early evening. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and will probably return to this unit for a future visit. ”

great location - a few issues

Francois Angelelli from Sevres, France on 08/13/2011 said:

“ The location is just great and the sea views are amazing. We took all our meals on the terrace. The condo is nice and well furnished; there are may useful items like tennis rackets, beach seats, bodyboard, .. But the condo needs some renovation especially regarding the windows and bug screens on the first floor (big bugs can fly in). In addition, there weren't enough dishes for 4 people. The residence was very quiet (no more than 20% of the condos/houses were used). Pool, tennis and volley-vball courts are ok; please note that you should wear tennis shoes (or at least non marking shoes). ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for your review of Unit 176. We are glad you enjoyed the view and location. We are checking into updating the screens and windows on the first floor. It is helpful for us to know what needs renovating, since we live so far away and only get to Hawaii once a year.<br /> owners, condo 176 ”

Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club Townhome 176-- nice place!

Overall rating:
Ed & Brenda M. from Champaign, IL on 07/04/2011 said:

“ We traveled to Kona for the marathon, which starts &amp; ends at the Outrigger Resort approx 1/4 mile up the road (Alii Dr.). We enjoyed our stay in TH 176-- it was quiet, clean and well maintained. We used the aC one day and relied on ocean breezes to cool us the other days. Enjoyed breakfast on the lanai-- saw dolphins, outriggers, &amp; boats pass by. Th 176 is close to a great snorkeling beach on alii Dr., just past the Outrigger Resort. The owners have booklet full of great local info (shopping, dining &amp; sightseeing advice)-- very helpful! For our stay, TH 176 was equipped with nice extras such as snorkeling gear, beach chairs &amp; umbrella, tennis raquets &amp; ice chest. We left a Hawaiian fish id card for others to enjoy. I downgraded the check-in because the townhouse was wide open when we arrived. In the end, there was no problem, but it was unexpected. ”

Manager response:

“ We are happy that you enjoyed your stay in Unit 176. Thank you for adding the identification card to the items that future guests might use. We will ask that the unit be securely locked before new guests arrive. This has not been an issue in the past so I think it probably will not happen again.<br /> Linda Haugen, owner Townhome 176 ”

A great place to stay

Tina from Renton, WA on 02/27/2011 said:

“ My husband and two adult children stayed here for a week. What a great place. Everything we needed was in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable, the condo was very clean and some beach gear in the closet under the stairs that made our adventures to the water even better. I would very happily stay here again. Grocery store was 3 minutes away. Made a trip to Costco in Kona and stocked up for the week. Loved the sound of the surf on the rocks. ”

MMS from Mammoth Lakes, CA on 08/04/2010 said:

“ Condo and complex are in great shape. With the windows open the air circulation thorough the unit was excellent so no aC needed. So nice to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves. Being so close to the seawall, a small crab had gotten into the condo that was pretty fast runner... We did carry him back to the wall and let him go. It would be great to have a hot water kettle. ”

Knapp family from Snohomish, WA on 04/27/2010 said:

“ What a delightful place to spend a week! It is right on the water so the waves can be loud but everything else made up for that. The condo was stocked with beach towels, chairs, toys, and a booklet with information about the local sites. ”

Perfect place for a week on the Big Island

Overall rating:
CPJS from Ann Arbor, MI on 03/10/2010 said:

“ We enjoyed our week at #176 immensely. Check-in was trivially easy. We found the condo perfectly clean and bug-free and well-furnished for our needs. The ocean just outside our window, an ideal mall 2 blocks away in one direction and the best snorkeling beach 2 blocks away in the other direction. Let's see, what can I say on the negative side for objectivity's sake? disfunctional wine opener (we replaced it), couldn't get 1 of the 2 LR CD- players to work (just needed an instruction book), 1 of the 5 closets had jammed doors (wouldn't have used it anyway). We're now eager to return to the Big Island and hope to stay in #176 again. ”

Quite Relaxing...

lunastella from California on 03/05/2010 said:

“ Enjoyed staying at the oceanfront townhouse..great location, views, and access to one of the best snorkeling beaches on the other side of the Outrigger Hotel which we walked to, as well as walking to Keahou Shopping Center. The townhouse was nice and comfortable. Pictures reflected accurately what it was like in the flesh. Wished there were a few more cooking utensils, especially pots and pans, as we cooked in most every night. I appreciated being in an end unit. ”

Stunning place for a family to stay

Overall rating:
Trish from Fairbanks, Alaska on 01/06/2010 said:

“ We loved this place. The ocean was right outside our back door, with a dramatic view of surf crashing against a lava-rock coast. The grounds were beautiful and beautifully maintained. The condo itself was furnished in a simple, beautiful and coordinated style, not at all pretentiously. All appliances and plumbing worked. The pool was clean and the atmosphere friendly. One of the reasons that we stayed here was that it is close to a public beach known for good snorkeling. We were not disappointed there, either. We snorkeled with a sea turtle our first day, much to our kid's delight. Later in the week, we found a sea turtle basking in the afternoon sun on a beach within a 2-minute walk of the condo. Wow! We would love to come back and would recommend this place to family and friends. ”

Great time!

Sherill from Kenosha, WI on 11/12/2009 said:

“ My husband, son and daughter-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law and sister-in-law's mother had a WONDERFUL time in Hawaii. A great percentage of our good time was due to the condos where we stayed. My greatest enjoyment came from being right on the ocean and listening to the thundering surf all night long (we were in 177). Our condo was beautifully furnished, others in the family were jealous! My son and his wife were in 176 and they did not like having their laundry outside the condo. ”

Johnson from Fresno, CA on 08/20/2009 said:

“ Our family stayed for the week and we loved it! Loved that our two boys had their own room with their own beds. We slept with the sounds of the ocean right out our bedroom. Right next to Kona and lots and lots of cool snorkling/boarding beaches. Awesome view of the ocean right off our lanai. Easy check in and stocked with everything we needed for the week! ”

“ My sister and I stayed for one week. It was easy to find even in the dark. The ground were well maintained and the people friendly although we meet very few due to our travels around the island. Access to the complex area was gated with easy keypad entry. The condo was clean, with a lot of items we did not expect (soap - enough to do the dishes for our week stay, cleaning products, fans in every room, and a foreman grill etc.) This condo was quiet with a good view of the water. The beds were comfortable and the washroom well supplied. I particularly like the shower in the downstairs bathroom. Location wise, it was excellent. Very close to a mall area with a grocery store and a large pharmacy. The drive into Kona was fairly short with no real traffic to worry about. The complex had a good size pool close to our unit. In front of every unit, there was an abundance of flowering plant. The gardens and ground were well cared for and improvements were continually being made with more trees being planted during our visit and we enjoyed walking around the complex viewing the lovely landscaping. It was peaceful setting with no loud noises during any part of the day. We would definitely recommend it to a couple and families. ”

Quiet, secluded getaway

Frozen Canucks from Calgary, Alberta, Canada on 04/03/2009 said:

“ What a fantastic place to get away from it all! This unit is right on the ocean - at night you can open the windows in the master bedroom and listen to the ocean waves crashing. The location is ideal - right at the end of the road leading past all the other units. The road actually ends before the building where this condo is situated, so the front door opens onto a small walkway, a nice lawn, and the tennis courts. The entire condo complex is very quiet. There is a nice pool and we were often the only ones swimming or playing tennis. The condo has tennis rackets, balls, beach chairs, beach umbrellas - it was just like being at home! There is a nice big-screen TV, and high speed Internet access if you bring your laptop. Outside on the patio facing the ocean you'll find a table, chairs and a wicker couch where you can sit and relax. There is a small barbecue which is great for grilling fresh fish from the market. We ate all of our meals on the patio. Just up the hill is a shopping center with a fantastic grocery store that has a phenomenal hot deli with great ribs and fried chicken. You can also get fresh sushi and poke. Just a few minutes north on the road toward town is a great Farmer's Market with incredible fruits and vegetables. There is a sandy beach that you can walk to in about 10 minutes - a very pleasant walk north along the ocean. Nice snorkeling and quite a few green sea turtles. Just on the south side of the condo complex is a beautiful golf course. A lot of people walk there in the evening and sit on the grass under the palm trees to watch the sunset - hoping to see the Green Flash! We didn't see it, but the sunset experience was outstanding nevertheless The pictures on the web site are very accurate, so check them out. We would highly recommend this home, and hope to be able to return there soon. ”

Oceanfront Peace

Renter from China on 04/02/2009 said:

“ This complex is one of the best in the Keauhou area, and there are many nice units here. Still, I believe Townhome 176 is among the best and most nicely furnished of them. We rented a condo because after a hotel stay in Oahu we wanted to drive right up to our door, and hang out on a patio directly facing the ocean. Before we even arrived at the condo we stopped at a large supermarket just around the corner for all the food, snacks and drinks we'd need. That's a big plus to me, being able to grab a cold one from the fridge and watch the waves hit the rocks just outside the livingroom. The first night I had to get used to the sound of the waves out our window but I missed it when we left. Though it's fun to scramble on the lava rocks a bit, be advised that there isn't any good beach walkable from this place. And the one decent beach a short drive away is a bit crowded and the reef destroyed by over touristing. I suggest driving to Waikoloa which is a great, great beach. Quick drive from here to the restaurants and bars of downtown Kailua-Kona, shopping, etc. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything from pots and pans to spices to plastic wrap, so you can really enjoy meals 'at home'. We caught some fish and grilled them up on the barbecue while watching the killer SUNSET. Beach towels, linens, TV, wifi internet, stereo, etc. - it's all there. Enjoy!! ”

Great Family Vacation Condo

PDXLeeAnne from Portland, OR on 04/02/2009 said:

“ We loved everything about this condo. It was very casual and nothing fancy but had everything we needed for a family of 4. The complex it's located in was quiet (except for the surf) and very close to the grocery store and Longs Drugs, for those last minute trips for more POG or whatever we might need. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, small appliances and even a few staples and spices which I really appreciated. There were plenty of towels, and the extras (chairs, mats,tennis rackets, etc.) were great to have. ”

tory from Texas on 04/01/2009 said:

“ Great ocean view, peaceful and pleasant surroundings and convient to town....had ants when we arrived and the AC was not worth the money (AC in kitchen therefore the kitchen was very cool and the rest of the place very warm). My parents rented next door and paid the same as us for a much nicer place with an AC in the living room that cooled the entire home. ”
