Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club#7-102 "Honu Hale"

We loved our week at the Honu Hale! The closet of fun was a great bonus we loved the boogie boards, pool noodles, and volleyball. The art is beautiful and the condo is just beautiful. The management is easy to talk to and very responsive.

Our family of four enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was the nicest condo property we've stayed. It meet all of our needs and was a pleasure to enjoy the nicely decorated home. The location was good and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio.

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!

We had a quiet, relaxing vacation on Kona at this condo. The unit is clean and spacious. It’s Greta to have 2 bathrooms, 3 beds and a walk out patio to the open grassy area. We especially enjoyed the pool which my kids swam in at least once/day.
The condo has everything we needed for our stay and when one free standing fan didn’t work and the other was not found, 2 new ones were delivered the same day I contacted the management.

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.

Manager's Response

Very nice space, plenty of room and good layout. Would definitely rent again if on the Big Island.

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.

Everything was as described, every amenity you could think of was provided for an enjoyable stay.

We were 5 adults, our rental was great, spacious, clean, everything we saw online, was accurate. Directions were perfect, location was near the Kona airport. We enjoyed the pool a few times, it was just a short walk from our rental.
Would definitely recommend it and stay there again.

Manager's Response

Excellent rental unit, well equipped and nicely decorated! We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this rental to others! The air conditioning was very cold and this unit felt like home (in Hawaii)!

Manager's Response

Condo was a great base for our short stay in Kona. Location worked out great and accommodations were as described and included everything needed.

Manager's Response

We shot out to the islands on a short business trip, and took this condo for a few days to fill in our overall length of stay. The Surf and Racquet Club is fantastic! The unit is in a decent location in the complex, but just a few issues with some of the furnishings. The Master bed was super uncomfortable, no TV in the bedroom, the furniture in the front room has seen it's better days and is not very comfortable. Luckily the property manager was great to work with, and the unit was **** and span clean!

Manager's Response

I stayed at a few of these places and this is by far one of the best.

Great condo! Plenty of room for our family of five with everything we needed. The condo and property was very clean. The fun closet was great for the kids and family outing’s at the beach. The location was perfect. Great view of the ocean and right down the road from down town, snorkeling and a lot more.

Manager's Response

Very clean and quiet area.

-location is awesome to snorkel, surf, and swim.
-the suite has beautiful art throughout
-having beach stuff to use was awesome (chairs, boogie boards etc)

Manager's Response

It was great! I loved how it was in Kona. It was close to the water and had plenty of amenities. It was a very comfortable place to stay.

Manager's Response

The perfect accommodations for my family of 3 adults and two teenagers. The condo was very clean, comfortable and well stocked even had the necessary beach supplies like beach umbrella,towels, cooler,snorkeling gear, beach chairs and more.

The location of this condo is amazing, a very short drive (or walking distance for some) from great snorkeling, sandy beaches, kona shopping and grocery store but still nestled away on a lovely landscaped, private and gated property.

Management was also very accommodating and quick to respond to our questions.

We are recommending this rental to family and friends. Do not hesitate to make this your home while visiting the Big Island of Hawai'i.

Manager's Response

We thoroughly enjoyed the unit. It was clean, had everything we needed, including a washer and dryer. The complex is very quiet, clean, and only steps from the ocean. So grateful that the unit was well stocked with umbrella, beach chairs, fins, snorkles, boogie board, etc., which makes it so convenient for beach days. Thank you very much. Would definitely rent this unit again. We stayed for 17 nights so really got a good feel for this unit and complex. Mahalo!

We reserved this lovely unit for our daughter and her family visiting from the Mainland. We wanted a place that would be comfortable for two adults, a teenager, and a one year old. We also wanted a space where grandparents and friends could drop by and enjoy talking story or share a meal. This was perfect. It was clean, spacious and safe for the baby. The furniture inside and on the lanai was very comfortable. The tropical decor and artwork created a very restful, yet cheerful atmosphere. The unit was well ventilated with large sliding doors to the outside shaded lanai and numerous ceiling fans. Our family found it comfortable even with the record high temperatures during their stay. We also appreciated the swimming pool that has a generous shallow end for the keiki, the mature landscaping, the easy access to the ocean shoreline, and the preserved historic Hawaiian structures on the grounds. Yes, we would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives.

Manager's Response

Had a great few days at this location. We definitely used the extras provided including canvas bags for groceries, coolers, pool and water toys (goggles, boogie board). While onsite we enjoyed the ocean and sunset views, the pool, sacred areas with history, and the lanai with a nice view. Location is a short drive to main tourist strip and a walk to the nearest beaches and shopping center (groceries, subway). We have no complaints about the living area everything was clean and functioned well. The contact person was very friendly making sure we felt welcomed and free to call if we had any issues, which there were none.

Property is as described but it is dated and could use some repairs especially in the kitchen. It took us a day or two to get used to being out in the Kona sun and coming back to no AC but at nights it cooled down with the doors and windows open. The pool is really nice and always warm. We walked to the gray sand beach and saw turtles as well. There is updated bedding and nice couches. I would recommend to a friend as the location is great.

We live on Kauai, but come to Hawaii Island every few years to snorkel in your amazing reefs. The condo was updated and perfect. We have two girls, and not a singlw complaint. We would do this again and stay there again.
