"Property Manager "Please review in the best light possible"
Per Property Manager's request I will only say while the stay was good we would not rent this unit again."

"Beautiful sunsets
Walk out the sliding glass door and you can see beautiful sunsets every night. Another great thing that this rental has is air conditioning in every room. There are a few things that do need upgrades which I included to management when they asked. "

"Great place and Beautiful view
Great place to stay! Quiet neighborhood, gorgeous view and close to the pool. We recommend making tge drive to Hapuna Beach, Green Sand Beach and Southernmost Point. We would definitely stay here again "

"9 week stay
We stayed here Jan 10 - Mar 13. This property is all about the view. The condo itself is dated, but that is why its an affordable ocean front condo. Management was very helpful and had repairs done quickly. Its a small condo, two guest are comfortable, and four would be the max. Some newer more comfy furniture would help a lot. Due to high surf warnings, we boarded up 15 days on and off the first 4 weeks. Air conditioning, new floors and fresh paint were appreciated. Could use new pots and pans. Needs a loveseat or chair and ottoman to go with the one couch to provide more seating area. Great private beach 5 minute walk next door. Shopping center about 1/4 mile away has everything you need. Only 5 miles to downtown Kona. Overall enjoyed are stay, mainly because of the closeness and great view of the ocean."

"Great place for our family right on ocean
When looking for this place what sold us was the twin beds for our twins in second bedroom as most have a queen. It was right on ocean amazing sunsets and our daughter used the hideabed. The complex has a great pool and is a 10 minute walk to a great snorkeling beach and we did surfing lessons on the same beach. White sandy beautiful beaches are 30 min to an hour drive away. It's like 7 minutes to town and 15 minutes to Costco. There is also a grocery store a minute away. The condo was well equipped in kitchen and had cooler, Boogie boards chairs and snorkeling equipment for beach which was an awesome bonus. Check in was easy. Would definitely stay again"

"Location Location Location
This end unit condo is in a great location with ocean views from the master bedroom, kitchen, living room, and outside sitting area. There is no beach but a beautiful lava rock wall. The complex has a pooll, tennis and pickle ball courts. The grounds are very well maintained. It is located within walking distance to a shopping center with a grocery store and a couple restaurants. The condo itself is well equipped, dishes, pots and pans, utensils, and appliances. The washer and dryer are outside the condo in a locked shed attached to building. The master bedroom bed was great, the other bedroom beds were ok, a little soft and bouncy, according to the kids. The condo was a great fit for my family of four and we enjoyed staying there. If you are the type of people who want to have 5 star, top of the line, with everything perfect and new, this might not be the best choice for you. It is a little dated, and the bathroom upstairs could do with a little refresh but there was nothing that prevented us from enjoying our stay. It reminded me of staying in a friend’s place where I can overlook a little imperfection and just enjoy being on vacation in paradise."

"1980's old
The view is very beautiful and the sound of the ocean all day and night we loved. We were as happy about the inside of condo. When we arrived and walked in it was a disappointment for the price we paid. The size was definately small and the condo reminded us of the 1980's because of the old look of it and some of the furnishings as well were old looking. Kitchen was to small for even 2 people to be together cooking. The cleanliness could have been better , maybe it was because the condo is old and needs alot of updating into the modern world. I would not recommend this condo to anyone unless updated and some things get fixed. I may have paid to stay at #176 but dpent most of our time at other condo there that my family rented which were beautiful and same price. I was disapointed to see what others got in my family for same price and I got and old, 80's small semi clean condo. There were 6 other condos rented by my siblings and they definately got there money's worth. "

"Good place, a few details need attention
I thought the place was pretty nice, except for going up and down the stars to the bedrooms a lot. With my 81-year old metal I'll get a place on one story next time. But for a younger person with better knees it's good. Very nice to sleep with windows open and the noise of the waves against the shore. My wife like it less than I but warmed to it. Well maintained--recent new windows, tile-work, cabinets. We both give the swimming pool high marks. Problems: 1. 2nd bedroom needs cover on outlet--it's child dangerous at present. 5-minute fix. One living room black chair has arm coming apart--needs to be re-cemembed. But both are so uncomfortable that I'd replace them. Well-equipped kitchen, but all except one cooking pan are teflon--poison leaching into the food. My wife would replace them all with stainless steel. As for Knutson that handled payment -- unexpected last minute $200 charge was very poor show. And the man on phone when we asked about possible early check-in gets 1 out of 5 stars from me--borderline discourteous and almost snotty."

"Amazing View!
We loved the view! You could eat onside with an amazing view of the ocean! Loved going to sleep with the sound of the ocean. It was nice to have the ceiling fan in the bedrooms because it would have been to hot upstairs to sleep. Bathrooms could use updating but loved the new floors upstairs! "

2 bedroom condo in a great spot right on the ocean. "

"Review of Unit 176
While the unit was clean, there were several deficiencies that detracted from our stay. The main floor was more than adequate - clean, accessible and easy to navigate. The same could not be said of the second floor. The carpeting on the floor was in desperate need of replacement...huge bulges made for nasty tripping hazards. The second floor bathroom tub, while clean, had considerable discolouration which both my guest and myself did not feel comfortable using. So, for our time there, we went downstairs to the shower on the main floor (which was great) to have our daily showers.
Finally, the lanai was in deplorable condition. The location of the lanai is superb...about 10 yards from the ocean! However, again the carpet outside the patio doors was in deplorable condition. As well, at some point in the past, the screen door from the patio door had blown off and was laying in a heap in the corner of the lanai, along with the umbrella from the patio table. This made use of the lanai less than pleasurable."

"Great location and everything you need
This is a great location in the Kona area. It's close to everything; shopping, beaches, restaurants, sightseeing. The condo has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We were 2 couples and it was just right for us. The corner location offers privacy. The waves were crashing outside our door/window. Assigned parking, quiet complex, nice pool and grounds. We would book again. "

"KKSR 176
We have stayed at KKSR multiple times over the years in multiple units. This unit is above average in overall condition and amenities although the carpet is getting a bit tired. Knutson and Assoc does a good job with management details. "

"KKR #176
Perfect location and beautifully well kept grounds. Every morning began with my coffee and a dolphin show. The townhouse itself is showing it's age, but was comfortable and well equipped. Check in/out was flawless and the management company was a pleasure to deal with."

"Great Condo on the Ocean
Nice little 2 story condo. Well organized kitchen. Confy furniture in living room. It was great being so close to the ocean. With-in walking distance of a mall with grocery store, restaurants etc... Have stayed in these units for years and this was the best one."
Nov 02, 2022 - Dana B., Camano Island, WA
"Better than advertised
Check in was easy. From the time we walked in we felt at home. The details on the tile work was beautiful. The condo was stocked with everything thing we needed and some things we didn’t know we needed. The view was amazing, the pictures didn’t do it justice. Was close to everything. Was a great place to stay in paradise. Thank you for allowing us the pleasure of staying in your home."

"Kona Vacay
Wonderful stay with the sound of the ocean all night long and non-stop views of the ocean and waves crashing into the lava rock right off the lanai"

"Home away from Home, but BETTER!
The accomodations were just perfect for my daughter and I. Everything we needed was in the condo. Our unit was right on the coast and our lanai and my bedroom faced the water. I started my day with a cup (or two) of coffee on the lanai and ended my day with the sound of the waves drifting me off to sleep. The location is also perfect. Far enough away from town so it's peaceful and quiet but close enough to get anywhere or anything you need in 15 minutes or less. I would return to the property if I came back to the Kona area. "

"KKSR#176 Oceanfront Corner Unit, great view and private
A lovely compact unit, plenty of space for 5 of us. The sofa bed in the living room was comfy and the unit had air conditioning for the one day that was pretty hot and muggy. The kitchen had a new coffee maker and rice maker . The lanai was lovely (after the storm barrier was removed! We happened to be there right after the crazy big waves). The location is so nice and quiet, great pool and close to an easy snorkeling spot at Kahalu’u Bay. We loved being close to town but away from the crowds. Shopping nearby and convenient."

Wonderful location and condo right on the beach! So much to do and everything was clean and accessible. "

"Dated, in need of a deep clean, great location.
All registration went well, location was great. Unit was well stocked with all the needed items. The washer and dryer were unusable for me. The rust on the top of the appliances was a distraction, and then the overwhelming odor of the products used in todays cleansing agents was a no go (not your fault). I don't remember the w/d being described as being in a shed outside of the unit."

"Three weeks in Kona
We spent three weeks at the Surf and Racquet Club. Management was very responsive to requests for repairs that arose. Unit was clean and neat, could use a little updating such as new carpets."
Feb 14, 2022 - , Harrisville, MI
"Room with a nice view
Location: Convenient, beautiful view, pool and grounds were very nice and safe area.
Management: Easy to work with and get ahold of. Clear and simple instructions in a timely manner.
The unit: Clean and satisfactory, but overall not as pristine and fresh looking as the images look. King Room: Bed is on the firm side. A/C only cools downstairs.
Washer and dryer: Work great, but hard to find (clue look outside). (The salt water is harsh on the outside appearance but inside great!)
Overall the unit probably won't exceed your expectations but is generally fine. "

"Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club #176
The property description was accurate. The unit is clean but does show its age especially the carpet upstairs that no longer lays flat. The property was very responsive with a few minor things within an hour of contacting them. I definitely recommend the unit the location and price make it a great value. A/C is only downstairs so just know if the winds change or go away it gets pretty warm upstairs we had one night like that."
Jan 22, 2022 - Curtis S., Billerica, MA
"Highly recommend
Perfect location. The condo has a few minor cosmetic issues but you have your own private ocean view & sleep to sound of waves. Air conditioning is downstairs only but the fans kept us cool at night. No ice maker but nice kitchen setup w/upgraded appliances. Property grills & pool area are close/clean/nice. Although it’s a big complex of condos, this unit is a great spot. I would absolutely stay here again."

"Waves and Sunsets
What an amazing location! This vacation rental is very close to the water, just a quick walk to a beach, and shopping nearby. It was so nice and quiet, with the sound of waves lulling us to sleep each night. We felt the condo was well-stocked - everything we needed in the kitchen, plenty of towels, and even some items to take along to the beach. We enjoyed a stunning sunset each night. We hope to be back again soon!"

Loved it! Very clean place, had everything we needed. Ocean front views were spectacular! Very quiet and calm setting. Would stay here again!"

"Quiet relaxing time
I have stayed at this resort before, only in a different oceanfront townhouse. This one was more upgraded and had all that we needed for a nice 3 week stay. The only negative complaint would be the carpet in both of the upstairs bedrooms. It needs to be replaced or at least stretched. There were very large wrinkles that can be a certain tripping hazard, especially at night."

"Kona Escape
This rental was a very nice place to stay. it was away from the bustle and noise of downtown Kona, but close enough to enjoy the sights and sounds in minutes. Food stores and restaurants were close by, as were beaches and other sights. The weather was wonderful, and the sunsets from the lenai were spectacular. "

"Perfect Location on the Big Island
I stayed in Unit #176 at the Keauhou Kona Surf and Raquet Club. This condo is an end unit that fronts directly on the ocean. I loved the location as it as far enough from the bustle of Kona, but had a nice shopping center nearby for groceries, restaurants, etc.
The unit itself was fine - clean, nicely furnished, and with plenty of flatware, place settings, etc. There are just a few items that could be improved: replace the carpeting on stairs and upstairs with something more modern and easier to clean. When I think "beach," I think tile or bamboo floor covering. There was some kind of plumbing issue that caused the hot water to sputter and belch. However, it didn't bother me enough to report it until the day I checked out. Finally, the coffee maker needed to be replaced - heat plate was rusted.
All in all, I would stay here again. The location and ambiance were lovely enough for me to overlook the issues. And Blake at the management company was awesome to work with!"

"A Relaxing Vacation In Paradise
We returned to this unit for a second time. The property is located to all goods and services one needs. The pool is big and wide and not crowded. We enjoyed our nightly Sit Down With beautiful sunsets. The kitchen is stocked with every needed device to aid our daily cooking. Blake is one of the best managers we have come across in our travels. The unit is priced right and fit all our needs. Caution, the upstairs requires some strategic planning to keep it cool....open and closing windows, using fans and drapes. If you need super cool, a different place would be best. We are booked for next year once again. This is now our go to place."
Nov 27, 2019 - Thor M., Vida, OR
"Big Island Visit
Downstairs of unit was perfect. Cute decor and everything you need to have a cozy stay. There was even a small wall AC unit to keep the temperature comfortable. Upstairs, however, a bit different of a story. Upstairs was uncomfortable temperature wise. This unit could benefit from another AC unit or two upstairs."

"Great ocean front stay!
Perfect for four people. Can't get closer to the fact...bring ear plugs! It was wonderful! Fantastic sunsets and waves breaking on rocks right off our lanai!"

"Review of Keauhou Kona Surf & Racquet Club #176
We had a grand time here! The place was perfectly situated right on the water and very convenient to everything. The grounds were beautiful!
The only negative to the unit itself was there was no AC in the upstairs bedrooms and it was unbearable at times. There were fans to cool things off, but they only did so much to cool things off. The upstairs carpet needs a deep clean and or changing completely as it seemed a bit dirty and dated. There were some cobwebs on the ceiling of the master bedroom. There were also a lot of bugs in the unit including several cockroaches! "

Nice view and location. Right on the ocean. Decent space for 2 adults and 3 kids. Clean. Only problem is that there was no washer/dryer."

"Fabulous
This is a terrific townhome - roomy and well equipped. The lanai and amenities are fantastic. The property manager quickly replaced the fans when I reported they weren’t working. I don’t have a single complaint and highly recommend this home for any length vacation. "

"Solid stay, warm upstairs
We enjoyed our 3 week stay at KKSR. The location was close to everything and the on site tennis courts and pool were great. As other reviews have stated this unit 176 is a bit dated but we had a mostly comfortable stay. One issue is the upstairs can get very, very hot on really warm days making it difficult to sleep even with the provided fans. If you normally have issues with sleeping in the heat this is definitely not the unit for you. The air conditioning only covers the ground floor. Property managers were responsive and helpful. "
Oct 16, 2018 - Bret E., Seattle, WA
"Awesome oceanfront townhome
Out of all the places we stayed at in Kona this is our favorite. Great location with the waves crushing right in front of the property and quite private, the condo has everything one might need for a great vacation including beach and snorkel gear. We loved the bed which was far more comfortable than average in a rental property. Great barbeque very closeby. Knutson team was very easy to communicate with, and helpful on everything we needed. "
May 26, 2018 - Irina N., Bellevue, WA
"Oceanfront
If you want a place right near the ocean, this is for you. However, the place needs an update and some work done to improve its comfort factor. There were a lot of aphids in the upper bathroom and master bedroom, at one point, which made the stay a bit annoying. The upper bathroom and kitchen definitely need an uplift. It was nice to hear the ocean waves though."
May 04, 2018 - James G., Calgary, Alberta
"Girls getaway
Property was in a great location, loved being in the end unit. However, the property needs a lot of updating updating. I needs repairs to make it perfect.We were told there was air conditioning which we assumed was throughout the unit only to find out it was only a window unit downstairs. This meant that upstairs bedrooms were quite warm. Fan in dining room did not work well. I would recommend this unit once it was updated"
May 04, 2018 - Jean A., Orting, WA
"Wonderful ocean view
This is a very comfortable townhouse with a wonderful view. The corner unit afforded extra privacy. We enjoyed the sound of the crashing waves and the breeze was lovely. The complex is excellent with very well maintained pool, fabulous landscaping, gardens. Close to Kailua-Kona but just beyond the hustle & bustle. Bathrooms mirrors and above sink cabinets showing rust and master bedroom furniture dated. More cozy than upscale but it suited us fine. "

"Outstanding views
If you don't mind stepping back in time with some of the decore you can't beat the price, view, or area. The ocean is at your feet, sandy beach just at end of property. Snorkeling 1/2 mile walk plus shops, food etc. close by. Quiet, private area, really amazing. I will be back!!!"
Dec 13, 2017 - Suzanne B., Snohomish, WA
"The only good thing about this condo is the ocean view
This condo was ok but it really needs to be updated on everything. Everything in the condo is original. For the price you would think the owner would remodel the rooms and decor. It felt like I was staying at my parents house in the 70's. Once in the home, there wasn't really any instructions on where the pool key was, etc."

"Lava and waves
Ocean front, well equipped, moderate ambiance, two story with no air conditioning upstairs. Way to hot in July without upstairs air. Pool great near market. "
Aug 29, 2017 - , Huntington Beach, CA
"Awesome Condo, Awesome Location
The condo was well equipped with most everything we could need. The location right on the water was wonderful. The surf breaking on the lava sounded like thunder (in a good way). All was clean and neat. The shopping center less than a 1/2 mile away was convenient and had many good restaurants (like Bienelli's pizza and Kenichi sushi) and a grocery store and movie theatre. The property is not in the heart of Kona, so we enjoyed the less congested roads and more peaceful feeling. We visited South Point green sand beach, Volcanos National Park (amazing) and went to the Botanical Gardens near Hilo (beautiful!) Great snorkeling just 2 minutes north."

"Vacation in exotic location
The rental of our condo was simple. However, we did have help from a friend who has rented from before. Therefore we already had a good review. Our condo was very clean, it had all we needed and a view to fight over. The master bedroom was on same side of condo as the ocean and we got to hear it all night long. Must admit the first night the winds and sea were high and it scared us a bit."
Jun 26, 2017 - Susan & Bill E., Louisville, KY
"Ocean view on the rocks!
We enjoyed our stay and hope to return some day. The condo was clean and had all the amenities. Some minor repairs are needed on some of the window louvers especially the upper bathroom which wouldn't close at all. Not a problem though as the weather was great while we were there.
Location is perfect as we were able to go on long day trips yet return at night.
Attentive management provided good contact with us.
We thoroughly enjoy the Big Island Grill in Kona for lunch and supper.
Overall all was great."

This is a lovely spot right on the ocean, with waves crashing on the rocky shoreline (can be a bit noisy at night). Conveniently located within walking distance to Keauhou shopping center. Good restaurants nearby. Townhouse is comfortably furnished and kitchen is well stocked. Pool and tennis courts are very close. King sized bed in master bedroom is very comfortable. Custom shower stall in downstairs bathroom is nice and spacious. Large HD TV is great. Instructions on use would be helpful. All in all this is a comfortable, user friendly place and a good deal for the price. Recommended. "
