About this house rental
Unit 1
Our DIRECT OCEANFRONT corner unit (#1) has its own beach only 27 steps away from the lanai (patio). This end unit (no one below you or above you) has added privacy including a quiet grassy area. Experience sunsets year round and let the sound of the waves relax you. From the lanai, the seaside bedroom, and even the upstairs shower, enjoy watching green turtles grazing on the rocks, the spinner dolphins leaping (typically mornings), and the humpback whales breaching or tail-slapping offshore (during the winter birthing/mating season).
We are directly on a salt & pepper beach. At the far north end, lots of tide pools with critters & petroglyphs. At the closer south end, at high tide if the waves are calm, then experienced & fit snorkelers (with a buddy, never alone!) can find a variety of sea life. However, if a novice and/or the seas are rougher, then the Kahaluu state beach (just ~ 5 to 10 minute walk north of our bay) is full of sea life and a safer location (with protective ancient seawall & lifeguards).
Both bedrooms have Cal King beds. The living room has a sofa and love seat, 42” HDTV, DVD/BluRay player, & audio system (with plug & USB ports). Free high-speed WiFi & telephone (Free Calling Within U.S., Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guam & The Virgin Islands.) Fully equipped kitchen for simple or elegant meals alike. We provide lots of extras: shampoo & conditioner, laundry detergent, dish washing soap, beach towels, snorkel gear, cooler, boogie boards, & beach chairs, etc. This unit is surfside-immersed with extensive jalousie windows letting the sea breeze & sounds drift upon you as readily as the light of sunsets or moonbeams (ceiling fans; no air conditioning).
Location: Our townhouse is located in Keauhou-Kona Surf & Racquet Club, a private 16-acre gated community ~5 miles south of downtown Kona. The complex offers 3 pro-grade lighted tennis courts. The complex offers 3 pro-grade lighted tennis courts (with tennis pro access and a pickleball option; please remember to bring non-marking tennis court shoes), a large swimming pool, a volleyball court, BBQ pits & gas grills. The grounds are lush with beautiful flowers. We are also within walking distance to Kona Country Club for golf (reduced rates if a Surf & Racquet Club guest) and the Keauhou Shopping Center with grocery & drug stores, restaurants, a movie theater, & a walk-in medical clinic….plus on Saturday mornings, visit their farmer’s market with local produce, Kona coffee, flowers, & fish. Our location is convenient to explore the Big Island or just relax near the sea!

Not sure if there is anything that can be done, but in the lanai area there are a lot of mosquitoes. I couldn't sit out there at night because I got bitten up pretty badly—just a heads up. The view was spectacular!!! And the convenience of the beach.

This townhome was steps away from a black sand beach with gorgeous views! We had a great time and it was so convenient to go snorkeling, drive a bit to downtown Kona, or visit many other scenic spots! Our rooms were very clean and we had access to towels, beach gear, and a washer/dryer. The kitchen was spacious for its size and a nice patio was available for scenic meals. There is no A/C but if you open the windows and turn on fans it is comfortable. Parking was close by and it’s nice to have the option of a pool and tennis courts. Thanks Maria for a great time!

The location of this VRBO is ideal. It is close to many beautiful places. I can't say enough about the black sand beach just outside the property. While it is not a great swimming location (at least while we were there), it is amazing if you like exploring tidepools and snorkeling when conditions are right. There was a king tide while we were there, and some of the condos were actually damaged by waves. We only took a chance on snorkeling on two days, but the yellow tangs were so plentiful that we could see them swimming from the master bedroom window. The house is as described. If you are traveling in the summer, you should beware. The house is HOT, even with the trade winds blowing. We used every fan in the house and it was still uncomfortable. We also struggled with sleeping. Three of the six morning, grounds crews woke us before 7:00. Not a quick grass cut either, hours of chainsaw action with limbs hitting the house. The check-in instructions were not great and communication with the host was not ideal. Both the microwave and blender had issues. This location was perfect and despite a few difficulties, we had a blast. Just know what you are getting into if you book this in the summer month. We had been traveling for over two weeks when we arrived and were looking for seaside rest . With the noise and heat, we couldn't make that happen. Also, the only dining table at the house is on the lanai.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
NO AIR CONDITIONING With temperatures in the mid to high 80s and very high humidity during the month of May, this unit got uncomfortably hot during the day even with every fan available turned up high. To return to this townhome after the day's activities to change for dinner found it very hot and stuffy. The unit did cool down starting before sunset with a nice cool ocean breeze, and sleeping was comfortable with the windows open.
