Gorgeous views but . . .

The location of the Keauhou Surf and Racquet cannot be beat. However, for the price the condo was lacking. I have stayed at the Surf and Racquet in similar locations. This is the first time I could hear the upstairs neighbors, walking, opening closets and drawers and moving furniture. And it was constant starting as early as 5:00 am. Also, a number of the kitchen utensiks( primarily knives) had rust stains on them. Having stayed at properties that are less expensive, I guess I expected more from a high ori

Near Perfect

Unit is as touted online, great view, great location, and high-end accommodation Only one draw back and that is the unit above us was occupied and the noise of their heavy footfalls was a constant distraction. Not enough to affect the overall rating but something that could be addressed.

Amazing lanai on the ocean

What a beautiful property! We spent 90% of our time on the lanai watching the ocean, boats, and enjoying the cool ocean breeze. The bed was super comfortable and the decor was primo. Loved having a washer/dryer in the unit. This place is stocked with tons of things including pool noodles, boogie boards, beach umbrella, beach towels and even a cooler. The pool was fantastic and we always felt safe in this gated community. This place is as advertised and I can’t recommend it enough. It did not disappoint.

The room was as advertised. The property is beautiful and we very much enjoyed our stay. Only item to note is that the water heater only allowed for a quick hot shower, other than that everything was great. House was fully stocked with essentials and the kitchen was perfect for dining in.

We’ve stayed at this condo complex 3 times before and this is by far the most beautiful and peaceful unit so far. The care and thoughtfulness the owners have put into their home is amazing. Clean, very comfortable and peaceful. The wrap around view is absolutely mesmerizing. Mahalo to the owners for sharing their home and the property managers for a seamless experience!

Ocean front tranquility

We loved the privacy and peacefulness of this condo, and being right on the ocean made it perfect. It was wonderful sleeping to the sound of the ocean, spending the day exploring the island and playing at the beaches, then coming home to spend evenings on the wrap-around lanai watching the sunset. This condo will be the top of our list for return trips to the big island!

Incredible place!

Perfect unit. Spotlessly clean, easy check in process, everything you need is supplied, comfy beds with plenty of towels and all the kitchen tools/appliances you could want. The best part though is the location of the unit and view from the lanai! Ground floor corner unit which is very private and has the most gorgeous sunset views! We spent most every evening and morning on the amazing lanai. The condo complex is so well maintained with immaculate landscaping and attention to detail. Close to restaurants, shopping, and attractions. Highly recommend this gorgeous place. Thank you to the owners for sharing it!

Great location and worth it to wake up to the waves.

We enjoyed our March 2025 stay at the property (me, my husband and our 8-year-old son). The location is fantastic - just 5 minutes from the dock where the Fairwinds excursions launch where did both the day snorkel to Captain Cook and the night manta ray snorkel right at the Outrigger. We were especially grateful for the short drive home following the manta ray snorkel when we were a bit cold and ready to call it a night. I'm not sure I'd label this a luxury property since the bathrooms are in need of updating. The kitchen is nicely updated and while we didn't cook, it was nice to have a full size fridge along with the coffee maker and blender. The pool on the property is no frills, but my son still enjoyed it post-beach. I think the price is a bit high and the property itself is nearly 50 years old. But again, the location is probably the best part of the property. Short drive to the spots in Kailua-Kona, not far from the airport and we seemingly hit the CVS up the road nearly every day. The condo complex itself seemed to have a lot of retirees/snowbirds - not a lot of kids/families, but we did not spend a lot of time there during the day. Appreciate the communication from the property manager. Everything was very easy. Photos of the property are accurate.

This condo was perfect for us! The location was close to a shopping center and many restaurants. The condo has been remodeled and we enjoyed the larger rooms, updated kitchen and the spectacular view! We had a small problem with the freezer and Abby was there promptly and got it fixed.

Wonderful condo, we spend most of our time on the lanai/ patio so we love the privacy.

Terrific location for jumping off to visit all the Big Island has to offer! Don’t miss South Point (be warned the trek to the green sand beach is long - but beautiful!). We made it to the Mauna Kea summit this time, amazing. We toured the cacao groves with Puna Chocolate, they were wonderful. Favorite take out to a beach nearby - spicy garlic chicken from Pine Tree Cafe! This was our second visit to the condo (love the new sofa), and we will be back!

Everything and more!!

This Condo was beyond our expectations! It was beautifully decorated and had everything that we needed. Not only were we impressed that it had everything we needed for the beach but the kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with extras as if it was our own houses. We didn’t have to go buy things because the condo already had them. The view from the wrap around Lani was spectacular!! We would love to rent the condo again given the chance. The beds were so comfortable and the showers had amazing water pressure. I don’t think there was anything about this condo that we didn’t like. 10/10 rating for sure!!!
