About this property

Rare BEACH FRONT Home at Kona Surf and Racquet Club. Accessible beach 🏖️

Our "Hale Honu" (turtle house) is a rare find in Kona. There are many ocean view homes in Kona but very few beach front properties. You can walk out the back door to your own semi-private beach and drop yourself in the sand. Watch the whales, dolphins and manta rays. Turtles find this beach a quiet and peaceful resting place so enjoy them from a distance as they sleep on the sand. A few minutes down the beach you will see native Hawaiian Petroglyphs and Heiau's. You will not have to leave the property to enjoy all the amazing culture.

Look out over the grassy lawn from your lanai that previews the tropical shrubbery where your own path to the beach only a few steps away. The beach is an oasis to put on reef walker shoes and explore the home of Hawaiian sea turtles or to spread out beach chairs or mats and share some first-class beach time with those you love. All sorts of tropical birds are attracted to the lush tropical growth in our location and will often wait for a treat just off the lanai.

Enjoy your oceanfront location with seating for four at a dining table with glass top in the shade of your covered lanai with overhead ceiling fan. Stretch out on the lounge if you are trying to add to that summer tan. Have a morning cup of Kona coffee with your breakfast that can be handed via a pass through window from the kitchen or in the evening; have a BBQ or your own prepared gourmet dinner with an incredible sunset for your backdrop. There is no better location in any restaurant in Kona.

Located on world-famous Ali'i Drive the Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club is a 4-star Oceanfront Resort located 4.5 miles south of Kailua-Kona town. This gated complex is just 1/8 mile away from the Keauhou Shopping Center, which has a grocery store, restaurants, shops, a bank, a post office and a cinema. Even better ,we are a 1/2 mile from one of the most popular snorkeling beaches in Hawaii - Kahalu'u State Park (also known as Turtle Beach).

Your home away from home is a two story, two bed, two bath island home close to both the pool and ocean in your backyard. This home has been beautifully decorated with an elegant but homey quaint romantic cottage feel. It was recently remodeled to include: AC [AC has a fee for your stay] throughout, new appliances and everything you would need to call home and have a great vacation.
Watch the sunset from the beach or your Lanai and enjoy the sunrise in your bed looking out over the water and waves. Enjoy all the attention to details for your full enjoyment to include high speed WiFi, iPhone speakers, Netflix and more. This is the perfect place for you to get away and enjoy all of what Kona has to offer. Make yourself at home. Stays over 8 days require additional cleaning fee . Pull out sofa bed in living room must be requested and paid for prior to arrival. This rental is for 4 people . Additional guests must be approved. Twin bed set up is $50 to cleaners .

Very nice and clean property that is in a quiet complex a little outside of the busier downtown area. This home has direct access to a small quiet beach. The complex has a great pool that we enjoyed. The home was nicely equipped with cooking supplies, spices, and condiments. I wish I had looked a little closer before going to the market as I purchased more of items already stocked in the home, including sunscreen. Nice beach towels were also provided. Beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of storage. The only downside for me was that if you sit on the lanai, all the chairs are low, so you cannot see the waves or the beach, but the view from the primary bedroom was amazing. The host was great to work with, and we didn’t have any problems. Definitely recommend this property.

Aloha, thanks for staying at turtle house. The gardeners are cutting the foliage back regularly. You just missed the cut down generally, you can see the entire ocean from the living room and lanai. We hope you come back again soon and enjoy all the beautiful things. The island has to offer.

Great location, quiet at night. Out on the lanai every night to watch the sunsets. Made good use of the grill across from the townhouse. Well stocked, good Henkel pans for cooking. Clean and nicely decorated. Appreciated Nancy’s recommendations for food and activities. Highly recommended, we had a great trip.

Amazing location, right on the ocean. Small beach and water access straight out of the door. Close to Kahalu’u Beach Park. Very thoughtfully prepared for guests and comfortable. Keauhou Surf and Racket Club was quiet, family friendly, with a great pool. Townhouse and grounds were beautiful.

Great spot. Beautiful sunsets. The activities that we booked were nearby like the night manta ray snorkel where we met them near the outrigger and the surf lesson was at Kahaluu Beach. We made full use of the washer and dryer and the kitchen. The AC was necessary in late May/early June. It was nice to have the chairs and umbrella and snorkels available for use. We would recommend to friends and come back in the future.

Fantastic time and a very special place. The semi private beach is perfect for spending a day lounging at the property between island excursions. Nothing like being up with the sun, toes in the ocean and a warm cup of coffee literally feet from your back porch. The air conditioning was a great escape in the afternoons and the beds were cozy. There is a well stocked supermarket a mile away and dining options nearby. I would recommend having a car but there is a bike rental kiosk within a mile. Nearby snorkeling was fun and a great location for newbies.

The place was a bit on the dusty side, ie front door ledges, lights in master bathroom. Air conditioning was welcome, but should have been informed of the additional 30 a day cost up front at time of booking. Trash and recycling was a bit confusing.

Aloha Stan, We are sorry the place was a little dusty. We have changed cleaners because we where seeing this trend. We only want our guests to have the best experience ever. We apologize for that and we also have someone inspect the unit before gusts arrive to insure everything is working great and the home is in perfect condition. Nancy

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Cairns

Host profile image
They call us the "adventure" couple. We love to travel and have fun. This island is perfect for those looking for an amazing life experience. We started coming to the Island over 25 years ago and continued to come back. This island stole our hearts and continues to give us amazing stories to tell each time we visit. We love the surfing, boogie boarding, hiking, kayaking, music and all the island has to offer. Out of all the condos we stayed in KKKS was the best and we love our community. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. It’s a magical experience as you can see from our reviews.

Why they chose this property

We have spent a lot of time designing this home to make your experience special. We did not spare any expense in transforming this home into a romantic hide away for you and your family. We know you will return year after year. We are one of the few units with full mini split AC. As the weather changes you will appreciate its use.

What makes this property unique

This property is on a semi-private pepper sand beach with views from all the windows. You will love the property and updated atmosphere. Only a few properties in Kona with this type of view and detail. You will enjoy the waves crashing at night as you slumber after a hard day of play.
