ABSOLUTE OCEANFRONT! AIR CONDITIONED! REMODELED!
Nestled at the edge of a secluded cove and beach, the newly remodeled 'Waving Turtle' Oceanfront Townhome offers dramatic ocean views from its lanai, living room, kitchen, master bedroom and master bathroom. It offers views of year round sunsets, winter migrating whales, occasional gregarious spinner dolphins, shy sea turtles and yellow tang in the curling turquoise waves of the cove and the ocean beyond. As the moon approaches full, you can see it reflected in the calm evening seas and very early morning moon sets over the ocean from your comfortable king bed. When the trade winds blow across the palm tree-lined beach under a sky full of stars, you will truly believe this is heaven on earth.
The Waving Turtle has two bedrooms and two bathrooms and is set up to accommodate up to 4 guests with a king bed in the ocean-facing bedroom and two twin beds in the garden-facing bedroom. The beds are equipped with quality linens, pillows and comfortable new mattresses. There is a bathroom on each floor. The downstairs bath has a walk-in shower and the upstairs bath has a tub-shower.
There is plenty of storage space to tuck away all your gear for uncluttered living. A new mini split air conditioning system keeps the downstairs living area and upstairs bedrooms cool when needed along with new ceiling fans in each room when ocean breezes and open air living are desired. The private and spacious covered ocean-facing lanai (patio) has a ceiling fan and a large table with comfortable chairs for easy outdoor dining and early morning coffee. When you're in the mood, a 50 inch smart HD TV is in living room. Free secure Wi-Fi is available throughout the unit. A dedicated parking space is just steps away.
The kitchen is nicely equipped with all the basics including an electric stove, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator. Small appliances include a coffee maker and grinder, blender, rice cooker, crock pot, mixer, toaster, and electric kettle. There is a large washer and dryer, quality bedding, and plenty of beach and bath towels. Four beach chairs, a cooler and a beach umbrella are for use on the local beach or other beaches on the island.

The resort overall was well-kept, quiet, and just far enough from old town Kailua-Kona. We took advantage of the tennis courts daily and enjoyed the direct access to the beach.The unit was clean and had a great view from the kitchen, living room, and upstairs primary bedroom.The pool is so-so and is shared with many units. Dinner on the patio overlooking lava rocks, the ocean, and a great sunset was a great way to end long days in the water and exploring the island.Overall our family had a great stay

We had such a terrific first Big Island experience and this townhome made it even better. It had everything we needed and the location is amazing. Supermarket and restaurants a block away. Beach access within steps. Kahalu’u Beach just up the road with fantastic snorkeling. Property Management was communicative and made everything easy. We'll be back!

We stayed in this townhome for 6 fantastic nights! It is located immediately next to the water and has absolutely amazing views. We watched the sun set from the lanai every night. We loved how quiet it was in this home - we could only hear the side neighbors when they and we were outside. And there are no upstairs neighbors since this is a 2 story townhome. There is a small beach only steps from the townhouse, and a great snorkle beach with sea turtles only a half mile away. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and small appliances. The furniture throughout the home was very attractive, clean and looked new. We never needed to use the AC in the living room - the ocean breeze along with the ceiling fan created plenty of cool air. The ceiling AC units in the bedrooms worked very well and were amazingly quiet - we only used them on a couple of very warm nights. There were beach chairs, towels, beach umbrella, and a small beverage cooler for us to use. The pool, tennis/pickleball courts, and ping pong table were great also. The resort is meticulously maintained and looked upscale. Everything was extremely clean and new. We will definitely come back!!

The unit has everything needed and much more, the owners have thoughtful notes throughout the house and those notes are not overbearing at all. The whole house has a certain charm. The main bedroom view is just wow! We love sleeping to the sound of the waves. It was a very comfortable stay for us, we loved the property. We didn't use the swimming pool but it looked very nice, the tennis courts were handy to get a couple of games in before it was too warm to play.The only suggestion I would provide is perhaps recliners in the living room to relax after a long day outdoors.

We fully enjoyed our stay here. The condo was a perfect size, clean, and well-stocked in the kitchen and with beach stuff. It was a great place to launch daily adventures. The shopping center across the street was very helpful - grocery and multiple restaurants.

Nice place and view. On the small side but perfect for small families. Great pool and condo was well equipped. Only thing I could complain about was the parking spot. Bushes made it difficult to get in and out of car and I don't know why they are even there. But overall we enjoyed the condo and would recommend it

Overall a great experience. The Keauhou Kona Surf is an incredible place at a very good location about 10 minutes south of the heart of Kona. The location provides a good balance of proximity to restaurants and grocery stores but still being far enough away from the busy areas where you get the calm Hawaii ambiance away from the touristy crowded areas. The beautiful grounds are well manicured, parking is convenient (although the parking stalls are very tight), and the tennis courts and a ping pong table provide extra amenities not available at most resorts/condos on the BI. The unit is very nicely furnished, has excellent air conditioning, comfortable living room and bedrooms, and a very practical kitchen with an ocean view. However, there is no dining table in the inside space. Although the table setup on the lanai is nice, we don't always want to eat outdoors. The upstairs floorplan is also a bit unusual. We recognize the space is a bit constrained by the size of the building, but not having a true master bathroom connected to the master bedroom is also not ideal when you're on vacation. The 2-story layout provides great views from the master bedroom, but makes the floorplan of the overall unit a bit inconvenient. Although the unit was cleaned well, the owners should offer at least 1 or 2 mid-stay cleanings for longer stays.

Absolutely gorgeous, well appointed condo with excellent amenities and location. It was perfect for our family of 4 (parents & 2 teenagers). The "kids' room" was a comfortable size and having 2 full bathrooms was perfect. It is clear that the owners thought of everything from the hose and mat to rinse feet on the lanai to the spice/cooking cupboard, to the pots/pans, to the beach chairs and coolers. Fantastic breezes, comfortable furniture, great WiFi, easy to cook in kitchen, and generally quiet location/complex. Master bed was comfortable; bedroom furniture was all solidly constructed (nothing from Target or Ikea). Sheets were good quality.Everything was so clean -- exactly as pictured. Our only issues really had nothing to do with the care and attention the owners have put into their gorgeous condo -- the TV remote was buggy and we had some issues with the dishwasher (totally a Knudson issue).We will be back for sure!!

We have stayed at the Keauhou Kona Surf and Racket Club in the past. We love the location, the grounds and the amenities. This townhouse exceeded our expectations. Was a short walk down a path from the lanai to get to the beach. While it’s not a swimming beach, the tide pools are fun to look in and the sunsets were amazing. The townhouse is fully equipped with everything you would need. It does have air conditioning but we did not need to use it. The view from the master bedroom couldn’t be any better. The beds were comfortable. I did have to reach out to Knutson and Associates regarding an item that was left on the front porch by the housekeeper, they responded quickly and the item was picked up immediately. The entire experience was incredible and I hope to be back again sooner rather than later.
