The condo was amazing nicely decorated. The place had everything we could want but a can opener. The only thing that was confusing was the air conditioner they do charge by day and i assumed it was paid when I paid my rental but it was not and after arrival they took that from my bank account which was my spending money. Read the contract I very well could have been mistaken.

We had a great stay with Keauhou Kona Surf & Racket Club. We had 44 family members stay somewhere within the complex, and we had snorkeling, body surfing, and surfing within walking distance. We decided to return to Kona next year and, stay here the next time too.

Overall, this ground floor, spacious rental was great place to stay! The unit was clean and had all the necessities. Location is great, we stayed in November and didn’t find we needed the A/C. We used the supplied fans and that was all we needed. The green space off the back deck was really nice. The rental came with a pack of 2 dishwasher pods, a small amount of laundry detergent and no extra garbage bags so keep this in mind if you are stopping to get groceries/supplies on the way and don’t want to spend your trip running back and forth to the store. It would be a huge improvement if a few spare garbage bags were supplied as these are necessities I have always had supplied with other rentals and wouldn’t have thought to grab at the store. The fun closest was a great help, but bring a collapsible cooler bag if you have limited space in your car. The supplied beach chairs could use some updating. Thank you so much for a comfortable, reasonable stay in Kona!

The property was clean with beautiful grounds. It is very close to the water (although you can’t access the ocean from there). The pool was nice and perfect temperature. The condo was spacious and comfortable for a family of 5 with 3 beds and a sofa bed. There were lots of fans but it was very hot in the condo the entire week we were there. Next time I would just pay the extra fee for AC to be turned on. The management was available when I had questions and when the fans stopped working they promptly replaced them. Overall, great stay.

A friend and I rented the unit for a week in August.The unit was as described, in a convenient location and clean. We were a bit disappointed that basic spices, a starter supply of coffee, et al were not provided. The a/c was an option that we added on - and needed.

Nice place to finish our vacation for our last 3 days. The condo fit our family of 4 fit great. There was enough separation from the kids bedroom and the place was clean upon arrival. Good location between downtown Kona and Captain Cooks. The pool was nice to finish in with the kids. Great sunsets off the beachside of the property. They provided lots of gear for the beach except the snorkel mask were broken and leaky. That’s been my experience at most places we have stayed on the Islands. Longs sells them for $30. We had a pleasant stay and would rent here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We love the location of the property, and there was more than enough room for our family. The condo was clean and stocked. Walk to snorkel, few minutes from town, grocery store very close by. The beds were comfy. If we return, we would definitely stay here again. Knutson was very easy to work with and prompt with all communications. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

This rental was a nice space and location for my family of five and fit our needs well. It was a short walk Kahalu'u Beach Park and an easy drive to a number of attractions and historic sites. We liked the racquet club and its facilities. Nice sunset views were just steps away. The condo itself was nice, the items in the outside closet were very useful, and being on the ground floor made access easy. The downside of the ground floor was keeping the doors and windows locked when not present and when asleep. Between this and the discouragement of using the air conditioning, the place had a musty smell initially. We did fine at night with the windows closed (for safety) and without A/C, but the condo felt stuffy come morning. That was just a minor item. As someone who strives to leave a place better than I found it, I did not appreciate the forced damage waiver fee. On the positive side, the washing machine and dryer were great to have. The owners left helpful instructions that made it easy to navigate our way around the condo.
