Unit 1-301 | Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club

“I was just getting ready to compose an e-mail thanking you for the opportunity to stay in your wonderful place. I even did some research of other condo complexes in the vicinity and could not find anything that we liked as well as your place. We had a great time there. Got to swim with the spinner dolphins at Capt. Cook and the sea turtles up the the street. Even though it was 88 degrees and no breeze, the condo was fine due to the ceiling fans. We dined on the deck each evening watching the outriggers go by. We loved the swimming pool and barbecue also. The amount of beach things and kitchen supplies was a nice surprise. Do you have a monthly rate? We are considering canceling our Panama cruise (2nd time though) at this time next year and come and stay at your place again. Kona area certainly beats Maui. ” — T H October 2008

“"Beautiful" Based on reviews listed here, we decided to give the condo a try. We stayed in unit 1301 on the third floor –2B,2Bath, Kitchen, Living room. One bedroom overlooked the ocean and the other overlooked the gardens. It was perfectly sized for 4 guests. The view was amazing, the property owner was very easy to deal with, and it was extremely close to great restaurants and the highway. The wraparound deck gives you the most magnificent view of the ocean. I really loved the amenities - the kitchen was useful for cooking and keeping snacks, snorkel gear was provided, laundry is in the unit, and we ate everyday on the large deck. I highly recommend staying here. ” — S L September 2008

“My family and I, five total stayed at condo # 1301 on July 6 through 15, 2007. Jacque the owner is very nice and e-mail response as well as phone response from her is quick. When we arrived they were doing some construction maintenance work to the walkways in front of the condo and to the lanai areas of the condos directly beneath us, so our first impression was kind of mixed. All that quickly changed as we entered and found a beautifully decorated condo, clean and with a fantastic view from our third floor lanai. We were pleasantly surprised to find a nice gift basket greeting that was left for us on the dining room table. There is no air conditioning but with the ceiling fans on and the three sliding glass doors open it was cool enough. We loved the sound of the ocean waters as they crashed on the lava rock shore which was about 25-30 feet away from the condo lanai. The sunsets were absolutely amazing! The location of the condo is excellent, you can take a short walk or drive to one of the best snorkeling and turtle beaches on the island, Kahaluu Beach. We saw the turtles feeding along the rocky part of the beach on every visit, they were beautiful. It is only a short drive to Kailua-Kona, but at peak traffic times it could take a bit longer than normal to get there from the condo, much more traffic on the Island than the previous years when we visited the Big Island. Try breakfast at the Sweet Ohana Grill-75-5711 Kuakini Highway it is a pink building that is also a candy shop, right down the street is The Big Island Grill which has good hawaiian style food also. Another nice place to visit and shop is Alii Gardens marketplace and the International marketplace which are all within a short driving distance from the condo. We Loved staying at this condo and would recommend it to everyone. It is in a very good location and is very clean and roomy, and has all of the comforts of home, but with a beautiful view and sounds of the ocean to top it off. I almost forgot one of the best highlights of our visit which was the free Ukulele lessons and Hula/Tahitian show at the Keauhou Shopping Center (about a minute away from the condo, show is every Friday) the show was better than the luau show that we paid to see! That's it I guess, needless to say we had a great time on the Big Island and this condo is Highly Recommended for sure!! Can't wait to return to the Big Island and of course we will stay in this condo again!.......................... ” — The Toms July 2007

“This was my family's, my husband, myself, and two teenage children, second trip to Kona and the second time we stayed at the Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club Resort. We were originally very disappointed because we could not get the townhouse we rented 2 years prior but once we found condo 1301 all that went away. It was the most spacious and clean accommodations ever!!!! It had every amenity we could ask for and more. The owner Jacque and her assistant Bruce are just fantastic. We were right next to he ocean, 3 floors up so we never had to worry about putting up the Lanai door. It was 7 days of bliss. We had a great view of the fireworks on the 4th of July. It was my 60 year old Mother's first trip to Hawaii and she did not want to leave. Mornings were filled with orange juice and Dolphins. This was a great vacation and we highly recommend this rental. ” — T G June 2007
