The condo was perfect for two couples. The unit kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. There was an abundance of towels, hand towels and washcloths. The patio was a great spot to watch the sunsets. The property management company checked in with us to see if everything was okay.

Reviewer Comments:
Great view of ocean, although oceanfront there is no noise disruption got quiet sleep. AC worked great and was very comfortable indoor temperature. Great tile floors throughout all the way out to lanai. Washer and dryer the cleanest I’ve experienced in the 8 consecutive years visiting the islands. Furnishings are old, bed is lumpy. Several light bulbs were not working, most notably the pendant lamps over kitchen island. Guest toilet runs if not tended to. Window covering for bedroom don’t go all the way to the mirrored wall creating huge peekaboo, lacking privacy for bedroom area. Biggest drawback no designated parking spot, and not enough visitor parking for the 2 buildings sharing the lot, only 2 spots for 2 buildings. Additional spaces available 2 buildings away.

Pros: nicely appointed, amazing views!!!, lovely landscaped property, located a nice distance from Kona Town, tennis, pickleball, ping-pong and pool. Assorted swim accessories in chest on lanai.Cons: bedroom off the Living room is not private-the sliding screens do not block out any sounds or light from the LR. No dresser in same bedroom-no place to put large luggage pieces Parking in Visitor spaces -only 2 available for the 2 bldgs in our parking lot. A little walk to other parking lots.Overall- I’d stay again-loved sitting on lanai and looking out before and during sunsets. Amazing and usually quiet.

The property was lovely, kitchen well supplied, view beautiful. Starter kit for paper goods not sufficient.

Location, location, location! This condo is all about the location---right on the ocean. You can actually hear the ocean waves when you're in the condo. The air conditioning was great to have in all rooms as it was rather hot and humid during the day.
Will echo some of the other reviews about the glass sliding doors that lead to the lanai---they lock for some reason when you close them from the outside. They are also quite sticky and need some lubricant so they run smoother on the tracks. This was the case for the screen doors as well. They were quite difficult to open and only my partner was able to open them. They need be replaced as it is probably the sea water that has caused corrosion on the metal tracks.
Also, the unit was either missing/low on some basic cooking ingredients: no salt (we bought some and left it in the unit for future guests), no cooking spray (only cooking oil, of which there was a small amount left in the bottle), and no coffee for the coffee machine.
For those staying longer than 5 days, please note that they do not provide additional toilet paper or soap/shampoo than what is initially provided and they expect you to purchase your own if you run out. Kind of bizarre and a little ridiculous in my opinion.
As another reviewer also pointed out, the only parking spaces available are the visitor spaces as the owner apparently parks in the designated spot for this unit. That may require a little walk sometimes but that didn't bother us.

Self check in was very great- nice touch they left the lights on inside for us as we arrived late. Beautiful condo stocked with everything we needed including plenty of beach towels & chairs. The view was awesome- every night we watched the sunset-amazing! Grounds were very well kept and surrounding area was quiet. Pool was great and nice size-enjoyed it every day!

We LOVED this rental! Everything was high quality between the finishes & furnishings. The location was convenient although you had to drive to downtown, but we liked being in a quieter area. The view was to die for and the patio was huge! There was a sweet stray cat who became so close with our daughter while there.

If you are deciding to book a stay in Kona, close your eyes and book this place. We had a wonderful baby moon in this oceanfront property and would love to stay here again. We had everything we needed and more. It is very close to some nice beaches, magic sands beach being our favorite. The property was equipped with necessary beach gear and had a fully equipped kitchen. They also had some basic kitchen condiments and made it easy for us to shop and cook our own meals. Extremely satisfied with the stay and highly recommend to everyone, including elders and kids.

Don't think twice, just book this property! They had everything we needed during our stay including beach chairs, umbrellas, lots of fresh towels and linens, utensils, AC, and above all a beautiful view. We are already looking forward to our stay here in the future.

The property is beautiful, location is perfect and very quiet. Condo unit needs some attention. Back slider door latches don't work properly. When it's switched to unlock and you close them it catches and they lock. Got locked out! Owner keeps their car in the designated spot for unit and there is only 2 visitor spots available by unit. So it's inconvenient at times when the parking is full you need to park further away from condo.

It was an awesome experience. It was the most invigorating time at 4102. The check was good and easy. The condo was very clean and spacious. It was very beautiful. Lots of amenities. Washer and dryer. Spa bath tub in the main bathroom. The view was amazing and we could watch the canoe race past. Coffee maker did not work and there could have been more toilet paper and paper towels but we just bought our own. Everything else Howe er was excellent and I would recommend staying there. 10 out of 10. Mahalo!

I spent many hours of research trying to find the perfect place for my family to stay for our first trip to Hawaii, so I'll share for you how it turned out:First, the Surf and Racquet Club: We were very happy with this property. It's a large well landscaped property and we found it to be very quiet. If you need to stretch your legs, you can walk along the rocky shore and there's even access to a small beach to the North. We appreciated being less than 5 minutes from a shopping center and from the marina (snorkel and manta tours).We found the communication with Knutson to be excellent. We texted them a couple of times with questions and someone got back to us within minutes. Also, we were able to extend our stay with a quick phone call and 5 minutes later had an email receipt.This unit (4-102) specifically: Air conditioning! There are 3 mini split heat pump heads in this unit, and they are awesome for cooling down and reducing humidity inside! The beds were quite comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Don't expect everything to be in perfect condition... the salt air is brutal and this property is not brand new, so there is bit of rust here and there and the back door doesn't slide very well. The dishwasher and washer/dryer were very new though, so no worries there.We were happy on the ground floor. Out on the lanai we were visited every morning by lots of little birds having breakfast in the grass and a couple of shy geckoes. Due to the angle and shape of this particular building, the lanai always had shade and was quite comfortable even in the afternoon. Beautiful sunset views of course but we also enjoyed the night view of the city.One small disadvantage of this unit was that the owners had a car stored in the designated parking space. We had to use the visitor spaces, which sometimes meant parking a couple of buildings away.Overall we were very happy with this choice and we would recommend it to friends!

We loved our stay, very nice opening doors while we sleep to hear the ocean and enjoy coffee on in the morning! Clean and stocked. Only complaint was the washing machine left our clothes super smelly.. just needs a good cleaning I think.

The rental was very nice. The location was perfect for going to either Kona or Captian Cook. The place was very nice, it had good A/C and views. All amenities were excellent. The only drawback was there is no assigned parking. The property owner has a car parked in the space and being disabled it would have been nice to have parking. The visitor parking was taken most of the time so parking was somewhat inconvenient. Otherwise we have an excellent time and would go again. Enjoy the views at sunset!

If you need a place to getaway, relax, enjoy stunning views of the ocean at your footsteps, this is the place. The condo was as advertised, spacious for two couples, very nicely decorated and a great lanai to begin and end your day on. I would highly recommend this unit and look forward to staying there again if we ever get back.

Unit location was great. Agency seems more concerned about their review than anything else instead of focusing on providing a great location and service and letting the reviews accurately represent what was encountered. Would not allow booking a late checkout when the booking was made, well in advance, even though they know all the flights leave late. Forcing you to book an extra day you don’t need or make other arrangements. Then of course the day of your checkout, when they didn’t have another booking, they ask if you want a late checkout. Ridiculous.

Great location with fantastic oceanfront view and gorgeous sunsets. Pool was very nice. We enjoyed the two nearby beaches, one for swimming and one for snorkeling. Plenty of snorkeling and beach equipment on site. Papa Kona was a favorite stop for happy hour and beautiful view of sunset. We enjoyed our tour of a coffee plantation, the luau was fun and ocean dinner cruise very nice, Had a few minor maintenance issues that were quickly addressed. Property was clean and comfortable, description was accurate, but could use a little TLC.

Washer dryer broken, master tub broken, key to pool didn’t work, toilet ran constantly, kitchen faucet leaks, incorrect information about the place provided, outdated kitchen utensils, living room AC not functional. Overall not worth the money for how outdated it is. Recommend picking a better place to stay.

We were delayed getting to our destination. Could not get in touch with anyone at the rental company for the first two days of our stay. The rental is not clean and is a good distance from the best beaches. There is an odor that smells like sewage that appears to come from the bathroom shower or drain. There is a vent in the master bath that is excessively dirty.

We had a fabulous stay! The condo is lovely and the location is fantastic! We all had a great time exploring the grounds, using the pool, and playing ping pong. While in Hawaii we went zip-lining, snorkeling, boogie boarding, and hiking. We also cooked some great BBQ meals on the convenient BBQ grill, had some fun dinners out, and enjoyed the wildlife in the area. We've been planning this vacation since 2020, and are so thankful that we were finally able to go. Blake and the other rental agency personnel were great to work with and they helped us with some of the simple concerns we had while we were there. We hope to stay again sometime. Mahalo
