Aloha Condos - Hawaii Condos & Vacation Rentals

Why stay anywhere else on the Big Island!!!

Alan from Vancouver, BC on 05/08/2013 said:

“ Because this is probably the best place you'll find for the best price. Great location: 1min drive or 8-10min walk to the nearby beach (turn left when exiting the condo and it's the first beach on the left). Tons of fish, and we spotted 3 turtles in 2 mornings! 10min drive to the main Kailua-Kona restaurants and shop, and 1.5-2 hours to the north end and south end of the island... right in the middle of everything. Magnificent view: Lanai opens up to the ocean, literally metres from your seat. Watch the sunsets in private and in the comfort of the home. Condo itself: Has everything you need... from a blender, to tennis rackets, to beach chairs, to a full knife set. There's air-conditioning on the first floor but realistically you won't need it at all... we switched it on for maybe 3 hours in the 5 days that we were there. Also, there are 3 tennis courts in perfect condition! Many thanks to Rocco for sharing this place with us. We truly enjoyed it and would most definitely return to this unit on our next visit to the island! And thank you for accommodating the last-minute extension requested too! Mahalo! ”

Relaxing townhouse with ocean backyard

Overall rating:
Dave from Woodinville on 04/26/2013 said:

“ We found townhouse 187 to be very clean and fully stocked with kitchen supplies, even a full spice rack. There were beach towels and the kitchen closet contained snorkeling gear, coolers, tennis rackets, and a couple old lawn chairs. The location is very quiete and the swimming pool is right on the other side of the driveway. It was very easy to keep the townhouse clean since there were plenty of cleaning supplies and the tile floor, granite countertops, and glass tops on the tables were very easy to keep clean. This was nice because that meant for time for getting out and doing things. The snorkeling bay is a 10 minute walk and is like swimming in an aquarium. We brought an underwater case for our point and shoot camera and that worked very well. It was a short drive up the hill to the market, but we found KTa in Kona to have better fruits and L&L; barbeque in Captain Cook was much more laid back. Overall, it was very clean, quite, and made a good home base for trips. ”

On the water in beautiful Kona

Overall rating:
Randy from Tustin, CA on 04/11/2013 said:

“ Overall we had an excellent stay in townhome 187 at the Surf and Racquet club. We used the well equipped kitchen every morning for breakfast. The bathrooms and sleeping arrangements are comfortable for my family of 5, although 1 of us slept on the fold out sofa bed in the family room. This place is less than 15m from the water's edge, so relaxing on the Lanai is a special treat. We had the windows and doors open any time we were in the town home. The negatives are minor. Limited WiFi is available only from the neighbors, the upstairs bath is a standup shower only and plan to rent or bring you own snorkeling and water play toys. The town home does have a couple tennis racquets that we used nearly daily to play on the well maintained courts, and folding chairs for relaxing at the beaches. The big positives are that the best snorkeling beach is just a few hundred meters north of the property (we never walked though, always drove), the weather in Kona is warm and sunny, and restaurants, sand beaches and 2 different marinas are just a few minutes drive away. ”

“ Great clean condo and complex, was perfect for my family of four. The view off the Lanai was wonderful, the pool and tennis courts were fun. I would stay here again and would reccomend it to friends and family. I never did figure out the WiFi but I didn't try to hard, as I was on vacation. ”

Relaxing location on the Big Island

Overall rating:
Dave H. from Hampton Roads, VA on 03/07/2013 said:

“ Great location for access to the many attractions on the Big Island. Surf and Racquet Club is a quiet and pleasant location for a get-a-way to the island. Only negatives were the snorkeling gear and the wireless internet. Snorkeling masks are useless because of old or damaged seals for the face. Local rentals provide much better/useable equipment. The wireless internet availability in the unit did not exist and presents a real problem for today's requirement of staying connected. The guest book indicated that lack of wireless service was a major issue for guest staying at the unit. ”

Mixed experience.

Overall rating:
Burman Family from McKinleyville on 12/19/2012 said:

“ Great ocean view. Nice facilities. Comfortable. The bad news: No internet access in unit even though promised as part of the package. No effort made to resolve the issue for the entire two weeks that we stayed there. Also, charged $200.00 extra for air conditioning even though we never used it at any time for the entire stay. Nice pool but no hot tub. Lack of decent grill for BBQ. Video library was advertised but no Dvd's were available. A nice place to stay but not everything advertised was provided. ”

We enjoyed the snorkling gear, sunsets, watching fish swim among the rocks and being able to walk to the beach and see the best assortment of tropical fish ever. They were beautive and so big. Restaurants and shopping was close. We enjoyed driving and seeing the island. Thank you ”

Sarah from PDX on 09/21/2012 said:

“ I am so happy with our decision to stay here, it was wonderful. Pros: -Convenient location -waterfront! Oh, that ocean view and the sound of crashing waves -Updated nicely with a beautiful kitchen and flat screen Tv's -It had everything we needed! Beach towels, snorkel gear, and chairs were really handy. -Big comfortable bed in the main room -clean!!! -Free wifi -Our one little issue was able to be resolved immediately as our on-island contact picked up the phone on the 1st try and was really friendly and helpful. -Quiet in terms of other people -The property was beautiful with such a nice, clean pool. -no geckos inside at all. In fact, no bugs. I didn't know this existed in Hawaii. As an insect and lizard phobic person, this was thrilling. Cons: -I would just suggest the owner/management: 1) Fix the screen door (it always felt like it was about to fall off) and 2) Fix the key to the front door (It was really hard to open sometimes). ”

Ocean front living at its best!

L.Howell from Laguna Niguel, CA on 08/04/2012 said:

“ Everything was fantastic!! The townhome was beautiful. All the extra beach, picnic, and snorkeling gear was very nice to have. The kitchen was well equipped. Waking up to coffee on the lanai with the ocean right in front of you is a definite highlight.We liked being on the end unit. Even with the walkway next to us, it seemed more private. Eight years ago we stayed at a different condo a few doors down, but we will definitely return to #187 on our next visit to the big island! ”

Excellent Stay

Overall rating:
Barry J from Washington DC on 06/27/2012 said:

“ The place was terrific. Everything was provided that was needed. The place was well maintained and well located. The view from the place was excellent and it was well located to everthing, particularly a great snorkeling beach. The only down side is that the ocean sound was quite loud in the master bedroom if you are a light sleeper. Getting information on check in could not have been easier. ”

“ We loved this place! How wonderful to have a lanai so close to the ocean. No problems with booking on-line -- received all the info needed for check-in way before arriving in Kona. We even received a call from the representive of aloha Condos... just to ask if all was OK The location was great - very quiet and a very short drive into the town of Kailua-Kona. (FYI - Kona Inn is the best place for a Mai Tai or two.) This townhome has been updated - beautiful granite/tile and stainless appliances. We would will definately go back again... ”

best. sunset. ever.

Josh C from Connecticut on 04/08/2012 said:

“ We had a lovely 4 days at th 187 during our stay on the big island. The place was clean, well furnished, and a great deal for the money! Talk about relaxing, with the ocean crashing against the rocks right outside of your bedroom! The kitchen had everything we needed for delicious meals right at home, and was just a great place to come back to every day and chill out. The pool is also right across the lot which is super convenient . . . only thing was I couldn't figure out the internet, but otherwise this was one of the better rental units I have ever stayed in, especially for the view of the ocean and proximity to everything you need (grocery store, etc). ”

Thoroughly enjoyed Townhome 187

Overall rating:
Bonnie from New Jersey on 03/24/2012 said:

“ We very much enjoyed our stay in townhouse 187. It was neat and nicely furnished and well stocked with all we needed, including some snorkel gear. The unit is on an end and very close to the pool, but the best is that the ocean is out the back door. We spent a lot of our time on the back patio. The patio could use an upgrade but that did not take away from our total enjoyment. We were very close to shopping and some restaurants as well. ”

“ This condo was spacious, clean, well-equipped, looked right out over the ocean, and was the right price for our family. The Keauhou Surf and Racquet Club is right in the middle of the Kona coast, making it central to beautiful beaches and great snorkeling. Some of the best snorkeling, though, was right off of the rocks of the Keauhou Surf and Racquet Club! ”

Rob & Anita from Eagle River, Alaska on 11/09/2011 said:

“ We loved the location, just a short jump to 19 and North/South destinations while on alii drive so we could hit town easily. We especially enjoyed the sound of the ocean (mere feet away) and sunsets on the lanai were unbeatable (no need to go anywhere, just pop you favorite beverage and pull up your chair). Directions were easy and complete and everything you need is there. Will definitely stay here again when (not if) we return to the big island. ”

What's really there

Overall rating:
Habitable Zone from Mountain View, California on 09/11/2011 said:

“ Walked in the front door and saw the ocean right off the back porch. Not some euphemistic "ocean front" or "ocean view" where you squint at a postage-stamp size piece of ocean between other people's condos. Entry to complex and unit easy, just followed instructions. Check-out tasks not too onerous & got my deposit back. Very nice that there was beach stuff -- snorkels, mats, boards -- so we didn't have to run out to Walmart and buy all this stuff our first few hours in Kailua. Also very nice that there are snorkeling and swimming beached within 3 miles to the north. Quiet neighbors, no annoying dogs or children. Only thing missing is air conditioning in the upstairs bedroom on the land side. Ocean side upstairs bedroom very pleasant at night with sea breeze and sound of surf. ”

Perfectly Oceanfront

BrendaB from Sebastopol, CA on 06/21/2011 said:

“ Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed townhouse 187 at Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club. The ocean is just outside your door. The townhouse is remodeled well, very clean, and is nicely decorated. The owner seems to take pride in making sure your stay is great. The kitchen is very well supplied. Having boogie boards, snorkels and ice chest ready and waiting made one less errand to do - we could just head straight to the beach. Very pleased with working with aloha Condos too! ”

Great Family Condo

Overall rating:
Robinson Family from victoria bc on 01/08/2011 said:

“ We stayed in 187 over New Years 2011 with 2 adult children. The Condo was perfect for 4 of us. We saw beautiful sunsets, whales offshore, snorkled nearby and enjoyed a quiet private location. We really appreciated the well equiped kitchen and extras such as cooler, towels, soap. The pool and tennis courts are close by too. The only thing you might dislike is the sound of chirping birds and crashing waves. Also only suitable for 4 people unless you want somebody on the sofa in the main living area. We will definitely will return and recommend. ”

This condo is in a quiet area yet still close to downtown Kona. Rocco was great to deal with (excellent communication). Thank you for a great stay. When we return, this will definately be the place we want to stay at. ”

prashthy from Santa Clara, CA on 12/19/2010 said:

“ The view from the lanai is simply amazing - a lone coconut tree and the vast expanse of water in the background. There was also snorkeling gear for four guests and that was useful. In the master bedroom, you will sleep listening to the waves gently crashing into the rocks. There is also a cooler that came in handy during short trips on the island. In all, we had an awesome experience at 187 and would strongly recommend it anyone who wants to stay in Kona on Big Island. ”

“ Booking through alohacondos.com was easy and completely trouble free. The unit was as described: it had a great description online, and as soon as we walked through the front door - it was all true! The ocean was right there, the whole unit is very well appointed - great kitchen, front-loader washer and dryer (which my wife loved), very comfortable, very clean. The location is great - it's one of the best locations on the property, and is close to amenities, beaches (we walked to snorkeling and surfing lessons), restaurants, town; activities on the Kona coast are all close by, both North and South of there. The Surf and Racquet club is very nice and quiet. Couldn't ask for a better spot for a relaxing family holiday. ”

Outstanding...don't miss it if you have the chance to stay here

crazy4hawaii from Santa Rosa, CA on 09/14/2010 said:

“ If you want a vacation rental that will take your breath away, look no further. Townhouse 187 is awesome. From the moment you open the front door and see the waves crashing on the lava beyond the sliding lanai door, to the time you prepare your first meal in the fantastic kitchen (granite countertops, high-end appliances and waves crashing outside your kitchen window) to the end of the day when you crawl into the heavenly bed, you won't be disappointed . We've stayed at the Keauhou Surf and Racquet club several times, all through private owner rentals, all oceanfront. Mostly great, (all aloha Condos), one time lousy, (not aloha Condos). The location is superb, with terrific snorkeling right next door at Kahaluu Beach Park. The grounds of the complex are meticulously maintained. The oceanfront units are especially nice as you are insulated from traffic. Not mention you'll have front row seats for the most beautiful sunsets. Alohacondos.com, makes contracting for Townhouse 187 a breeze. Check-in was made easy by Rocco, who sent an email the week of our departure with all the information, directions, gate codes etc. Being an end unit, Townhouse 187 has more light and ventilation than others on the oceanfront, allowing you to take advantge of the cool tradewinds. From the top-to-bottom quality remodel, (both materials and craftsmanship), to the luxurious linens, we could not have wished for better. It was really nice to have a full-size washer and dryer in the unit too. We sincerely hope to stay here again. ”
