“ We had a wonderful stay. The condo was very nice. The location was great, far enough from town, but not too far, and close to shopping. The people at the complex were very nice and friendly. Being close to the beach was nice, my husband went fishing a lot and we saw some turtles the day before we left. The condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable. I would love to go back again some day. ”

“ We loved staying at the Kona Surf and Raquet Club TH 2 during the Ironman. It was so nice to fall asleep listening to the crashing waves directly beneath our window. Our 2 boys (4 and 2) loved the tidepools in front, snorkeling a short walk away, and spotting geckos while dining on the lanai. The TH is nicely furnished with everything you need for your stay thoughtfully provided (beachgear too). ”

“ The condo was as pictured with the best aspect being the waves just outside the Master Bedroom window. We even had a turtle in the surf on a couple of occasions. Stayed with two teenagers and we all had a great time. Many activities in the area with the public beach a short walk down the street. (no access along the shore) Snorkel or learn to surf there with most other activities a short drive away. The condo was well maintained and I would recommend the air conditioner in late July for those of us from cooler climates. All-in-All: Well Pleased ”

“ Our condo was the "operational headquarters" for our daughter's wedding there in the Big Island. There were 6 of us staying there. We found the space well laid out, comfortable beds, well-stocked dishes & kitchen items, and just a lot of thought put into everything in general. Even the fold-out sofa was comfortable. (We slept well!) The decor was breezy-island, and the view out on the lanai was wonderfully relaxing with the ocean so close. The little black-sand beach (less than 100 yards away) made for wonderful exploration among the tide pools. Great place. ”

“ The townhouse (#2) was terrific and the grounds are wonderful. One of the extras in townhouse #2 is that there is the availability of air conditioning if it is needed. We didn't need it but it's one of the few oceanfront townhouses that have AC. The decor is very nice and the place is immaculate and maintained beautifully. Linens and kitchen furnishings are plentiful. The location of the unit within the complex assures that it is very quite. We particularly enjoyed being able to be right on the ocean and feel the breezes, hear the waves at night and sit on the patio for breakfast. The next time we're on the Big Island we would definitely rent this unit again. ”

“ This was our first stay on the Kona Coast. The home was very warm and inviting. I felt like I was staying at a friend's house. My wife and loved all the personal touches. We spent long leisurly breakfasts sitting on the patio looking at the ocean which was only steps away. I especially liked the pass-through window from the kitchen to the patio. Also I loved the coffee grinder so I could enjoy all the locally grown coffees. The location was great as we walked to a great snorkeling beach everyday. The shopping center nearby was very handy too. Overall the whole experience was great and I can't wait to return. ”

“ Nice condo, clean and no bugs. Great location for families - almost wasted for a couple! We did not understand there was Air Conditioning available. If it had been summer we would have wanted it!! We loved the location and the condo. The bedding was a bit tired and wished we had brought our own pillows. This is a small issue in the scheme of things. Nicely kept up and great amenities. Thanks! ”
Manager response:
“ Air Conditioning is available both at purchase time, and during your stay (instructions in condo). New bedding, pillows, comforter, and accent pillows have been purchased and installed.

“ Despite having grown up on Oahu, I had not been to Kona in over 30 years. I took my Kamaaina parents, brother and husband to the Big Island for a family vacation. The condo was nothing short of perfect. It had plenty of room and was equipped with everything we could need. In all my years in HI, I had never stayed where you could hear the surf out your window, nor seen the whales froliking from the lanai. I hope to return someday soon. I could not imagine anyone being disappointed with this place! ”

“ The place was exactly and even better than what was advertised on the website. I was thoroughly impressed with the location and amenities at the unit. Overall the best feature for this unit is it's closeness to the water. The sliding door in the backyard which faces the water was no more than 40 feet from where the surf breaks. I will definately book again here! Mike ”

“ This townhoue and complex are ideally located in a quite area that is close to shopping, golf and nearby towns. This is right on the ocean. If you like hearing a loud surf when you sleep, this is the place for you. Superb place to spend an evening on the back patio and lawn. Its very peaceful. The townhouse itself is very well equipped. Full kitchen, living room, TV, wireless, 2 nice bathrooms. 6 people could stay here comfortably although we had only 4. I will stay here again next time I visit Kona. ”

Alex Conti from Fredonia, New York on 04/23/2009 said:
“ First of all, let me start by saying what a terrific vacation our entire stay in the Hawaiian Islands ended up being. We started in Kauai (7 days)and finished up in Maui for 4 days. Between those two Island adventures we stayed on the Big Island at the Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club. The stay couldn't have been more enjoyable. The renter was the most accommodating person you could have hoped for and the condo was not only affordable but it was so close to the ocean you could kick a stone to it. (Which is a lot closer than one could ever throw a stone.) The Town House was comfortable and clean and very convenient to get to. The neighbors were extremely nice and the gated community itself was an excellent facility. I would like to thank Lyn and Al Magorno for allowing us to rent their awesome home. Thanks to you, my wife and two kids (16 and 18) had the best vacation of our lives. Thanks, Alex ”

Beautiful and Well Equipped Kona Property

SSSteve from St. Louis MO on 04/04/2009 said:
“ I did a lot of research on Hawaii rentals, and found the rates and accomodations for the Aloha Condos rentals to be very competitive. This was a lovely property. The only minor complaint I initially had was that the property was not air conditioned - but being right on the ocean - and having nice attic fan ventilation - this really wasn't a problem. I found the property to be nicely decorated and very comfortable. The views of the ocean are stunning. Leaving was a heartbreaker. Note that while the property is right on the ocean - it isn't so much "beach front", as this is a fairly rocky cove. Very nice however - with salt and pepper colored sand and great snorkeling nearby. Overall - it is a beautiful big-island property. btw - I rented another condo from the same owners at on Maui - the Maui Kai unit 504. It was a bit more expensive - but I liked that property even more - a 5th floor, oceanfront condo with a big balcony and whole-unit-wide glass doors. I suspect any of the rentals in these developments are nice - but I can say with authority from personal experience that townhouse # 2 at the Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club Resort and Maui Kai, unit 504 are exceptional. ”
Manager response:
“ Thank you so much for your comments. We've just installed Air Conditioning (A/C) in the condo this past week so that our guests can stay cool this summer.

Wonderful Townhome

bddowell from South Jersey on 04/03/2009 said:
“ My granddaughter, husband and I finished our Hawaiian vacation at this townhome in Kailua-kona. The home, although one of the older units, was very clean, nicely decorated and peaceful. The view from our bedroom was wonderful and we fell asleep each evening to the sound of the waves. It is close to some of the nicest beaches and the best snorkling I've seen on any of the islands. If we needed a change of scenery, (who would?), day trips to Volcano and Hilo are an adventure worth taking. The neighbors are friendly and very helpful and the outdoor market just a few minutes away was a treat. We usually stay on the north shore of Oahu but have decided to return to Kona again on our next visit to this beautiful land. ”

Townhouse #2 - Excellent!

“ Townhouse #2 is a two-bedroom town house which the owners have made very welcoming to guests. In addition to the expected boogie boards and beach towels, there were tennis rackets and balls to use on the (free) tennis courts at the resort. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots and pans, cooking implements, and seasonings and spices. The location is perfect, right on the shore, with the waves lapping outside the windows every night. Meals on the lanai were special. We recommend this unit very highly. ”

“ This is the perfect vacation spot for a couple or family. We loved the location. It is on the dry side of the island where you can watch the sunset. In the morning the tidepools are amazing. There are great swimming/snorkleing beeches nearby. The condo has many extras furnished, like a cooler for picnics, tennis equipment, beach equipment and towels, movie library and local books/info. I wish we would have stayed longer on the big island. There is so much to do and we did not get enough time to just relax and enjoy the condo. ”

We had a fabulous time and greatly enjoyed staying at ;your wonderful townhouse #2. Many thanks for all the amenities, the food provisions and household supplies and equipment. Everything was right here at our fingertips and made our stay easy and pleasant. We loved the decor and the overall ambience of the place...it was so peaceful, tropical and beautiful. Many thanks for your graciousness and hospitality. Best Regards to Al and Lyn — The Iacopino family August 2009
WOW!! This was our family and three other families vacation to Kona for my mom's 65th birthday. We all stayed in condos, but our condo, # 2 was the Envy of the other families! Thank you for having everything already here before we even knew we needed it! From the masks and reef shoes to the fishing poles and bug spray and blender. This will be a fond memory for all of us! Thank you so very much! — Kelly, Grank, Zack and Zoe July 2009

We had a blast on this island--so much to see and do! Nature is beautiful, we enjoyed many days of swimming, going to see the volcano, Mauna Kea star gazing, visiting 4 national parks, (both kids became "Junior Rangers"). We went on the Atlantis submarine, liked to Pololu Valley, saw many turtles, tropical birds, goats, lizards, geckos, mongeese, etc. The condo is so nice, the ocean view to die for! Thank you!! Aloha and Mahalo. — The V family July 2009
We've had such a wonderful visit--our second time to the Big Island. The weather has been perfect, and the beautiful sunsets seen from the lanai have been truly delightful. We've cooked many great meals at home in order to make full use of the table with the BEST VIEW IN KONA!! After two blissful weeks, we're headed out. We've had so many great adventures with Townhouse # 2 as our base. Boogie boarding at White (Magic) Sands, snorkeling at Kahalu'u Beach Park and at Captain Cook (after a scenic hike down the trail from above), another hike down to Pololu Beach with amazing black sand flecked with pure gold followed by lunch with friends who love nearby. Ate at Shiono twice (had to go back for that great Volcano Roll) and the Kona Brewery twice (great pizza)! For our anniversary, we went to La Bourgogne-truly elegant and delightful. We also had great take out from Habanero's. The spinach bought at the Farmer's Market (purple Okinawa) was to die for! Thanks a MILLION for so many fantastic amenities...especially the use of the snorkel gear & boogie boards. We'll all be back as soon as we can! All the Best!!! — Lee, Theresa and Dominique June 2009
Our first time on the Big Island and we ha a spectacular time; yes, it's a unique, beautiful island and having this place as our home away from home added to the splendid time. Thank you for all the special touches, the details, the well-stocked kitchen, the art work everywhere. We had BBQ's and sampled other great food-*Wow, the Mac (macadamia) pie, the avocados, the Kona coffee---throughout our visit. We will carry with us warm, sweet, beautiful memories of the Big Island forever. Thank you Al and Lyn! — Ilsa and Larry May 2009

Our family truly loves your condo!! Thank you for providing all the extras for a family getaway. We wish we had spent more time on this island. My children are asking when we can come back. We got to swim with turtles and manta rays! We loved walking the tide pools in the morning and watched for turtles. We ran out of time to use all the facilities, but will use the pool and tennis courts next time! We did use your beach equipment :-) though. Eating on the lanai was beautiful. My husband and I loved the ocean just outside the bedroom. What a great night’s sleep. Mahalo! — D., M., N., S.,& S March 2009

What a great experience. Sitting on the lanai, watching the sunsets which were always different and beautiful was a highlight. We are thankful such places exist where we can put ourselves in perspective with the universe. — J. & J. D. January 2009
Townhome # 2 is perfect-I couldn't find anything I would do differently. I give you the highest marks on all accounts. I will most definitely book with you on my next trip back. I will have to come back to both units (also Maui Kai 504), as I loved each one for different reasons. We do have friends/colleagues that travel and we will whole-hearetdly recommend your units. — Wendy Stine November 2008
We have been to the Big Island 5 or 6 times, townhouse # 2 is the most relaxing and enjoyable accommodation. — D.G. October 2008
We had another wonderful time at your townhouse especially the ability to look out the bedroom window on to the beach with the nearly ever-present green sea turtles, kayakers, spinner dolphins frolicking and more. Being beachfront we noticed there are some petroglyphs on the lava at waterline, probably under water at higher tides. Very interesting. We also appreciate the quiet location, swimming pool (I was in every day), and easy access to north and south sights and stores. A great base of operations and very relaxing place to stay. A fun-filled relaxing vacation. — P. L September 2008
Thank you for sharing your beautiful townhouse with us. Everything was perfect-beautiful sunsets and nice, quiet location. It was so nice to come home each day and relax on the lanai and BBQ our dinner and enjoy the sunset. Thanks for all the extras especially in the kitchen. The gift basket was a nice treat especially the evening we arrived after 22 hours of travel. We devoured it! Thank you, Mahalo! — D. O. September 2008
My family and I have been to Kona a few times and this condo has been the most beautiful wonderful place we have stayed! We are travelling with our 2 and 4 year old sons. This place is perfect for our family. We love sitting on the lanai and the pool is perfect for our family's variety of swimming levels. We will return soon. — M. M. November 2007
What can we say? So beautiful, so relaxing—it is hard to embrace and return to reality. This our 3oth wedding avviversary-and our 7th trip to the Hawaiian Islands. All of us have had a remarkable trip: time in the water;seeing lava flow; rain forests; beautiful flora-Wow. Mahalo for a wonderful “hale” (Hawaiian home). — W. K. October 2007
We are just winding up our stay in paradise. The wild parrot flock welcomed us with a fly by when we arrived. We love Kona and have been staying at various places in Keauhou for many years. THIS place has, by far, been THE BEST. Your townhouse is furnished lovely and equipped with everything anyone could want. The waves off the lanai and bedroom are incredible. We watch each day for the turtles to show up at high tide and for ones as the tide goes back out. We hate to go home, but will be back many, many times. — L.M. October 2007
Thank you for opening your home so that we could enjoy our honeymoon with comfort and privacy. This was our first trip to the Islands and hopefully not the last. We are sad to leave and return to the hustle and bustle of the Bay rea, but will take the laid back energy of Kona with us. Here’s to your providing us beautiful surroundings for our new beginning! — E. D. September 2007
This was the first time to the Big Island for our boys 18 and 15 and myself. This condo was great. Just about every morning we ate outside. Everything you need is here. Thank you Al and Lyn. We fished off the rocks. You can look out the bedroom window in the morning and see the turtles swimming. Enjoy! — W.K. September 2007
Aloha! This is our third trip to the islands, but our first time here. What a great spot! We love your location and, of course, your townhouse. You did a great job decorating it. We expecially enjoyed being so close to the water. The view from the lanai and bedroom can’t be beat. Although our time here was short, we really enjoyed watching the turtles and the beautiful sunsets. Mahalo. — G. G. August 2007
From the first time we stepped into your beautiful townhome we fell in love with Kona. Having breakfast, lunch and dinner on the ocean front was truly a wonderful treat! The townhouse had everything we could possibly need and more. Thank you so much for making your home available for us. We really have enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful retreat! We are so glad we were lucky enough to stay in your condo-it is beautiful! We’ve had a wonderful time watching the beautiful sunsets and the turtles swimming and swimming right out back! This is such a beautiful spot and one we will always remember fondly! The afternoons we spent there also watching the dolphins playing and jumping right off shore. If only we had one more week-but then we would really not want to go home. Thank You, Thank You! — D. & S. F. June 2007
The view of the beautiful waves, palm trees, beach, turtles, birds, butterflies, boats, dolphins, hibiscus, colorful geckos, and mongoose-I will have to remember all of this when I an day dreaming and thinking back to our place at Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club Townhouse 2. The wonderful ocean breezes, smell of plumeria in the air, listening to Hawaiian music in the morning. Hawaii making my dreams come true-The Big Island is Magical. Townhouse 2 is spectacular! Mahalo! Will return soon to experience the “Aloha” that I dream about everyday. — K. A. June 2007
Thanks for providing everything we needed for a great visit. We especially appreciated the beach chairs and cooler and the kitchen condiments (which we used while make guacamole with avocadoes from the Farmer’s Market). We also appreciated the detailed map and instructions for getting into the resort and the townhouse itself...very helpful for newcomers. It was a treat to be right on the shoreline and watch the sunset! Yet within easy driving distance of town. At the end of the day, we really appreciated staying in the quiet end of town. The furnishings here are lovely. Thanks for all the extras; the sofa pillow, beautiful decorations, extra towels and supplies, etc. (even notepads and pens!) We felt right at home. — T. & L. May 2007
What a treat this place has been. We watched the whales breaching and playing in the surf right in front of the house. What a display. We enjoyed the amazing snorkeling at the park next door. Swimming with the turtles was a rare experience. We had planned to eat out but the lanai was so lovely that we made good use of Costco and rushed home each nights to BBQ Ahi fish and lobster and watch the sun go down. Can’t think of anything that would have made our stay better. — T. & J. April 2007
Your condo was everything you promised. What a wonderful 50th anniversary we had. We have all loved our little inlet here where we could watch the turtles morning and night. We saw 4 whales swim near our shore also—we love this island. We explored all but 28 miles of the island but we picked the wrong day to go to Hilo. It’s time to get back to reality and leave tomorrow morning. We so hope we can return in the near future. The townhouse is charmingly decorated. Mahalo-Aloha. — C. & J. February 2007
