The condo was perfect for us. Great location with amazing views, especially of the setting sun. The entire property was great. In a perfect location with easy access to the "downtown" area. Property owners were easy to contact and even reached out making sure everything was ok.

This unit is great! Restfully decorated, and right on the water. We wanted to do nothing but sit and watch the waves-- which are very close indeed. We highly recommend.

Overall, it was OK. The view was spectacular. We were disappointed when we got to the place that the pool was under construction. We called the management, they said we should check the small print. It was in the check-in at the very end there was an addendum. We booked this in March. Our trip was at the end of April. The pool and construction, April 2. I feel that they should have told us right then and there that there was going to be no pool. In addition, there was no access to the water from the property the water, walkway or trail was extremely short. Like I said in the beginning the place is just okay..

If you want a quiet stay with great amenities and a peaceful view this is it. Altho the complex is older the property is well maintained. This 2nd floor corner unit has amazing views. There is no central air but the ceiling fans and oscillating fan were all we needed to stay comfortable. We played the Kona Country Club golf course right next door and it was a great course. This unit is great for couples or even a family with small kids. Would definitely stay here again.

What a great experience staying at the Kailua Kona Surf and Racquet Club. The condo was welcoming when we arrived and the ocean views were spectacular. The wrap around Lani is a feature you’ll never want to leave. The kitchen had all the gadgets we needed to prepare meals, and the living spaces were comfortable. All in all a great experience.

If you are looking for a place with awesome ocean views, quiet location and away from the hustle and bustle of Kona traffic this is the place to be. The condo was clean and well kept with the kitchen being well supplied. Being next to the ocean it was amazing to not only have the view, but the sounds of the waves and cool breezes were very relaxing. It has a very large covered patio that we used for our eating our meals and taking in the views. We are looking forward to our return to this condo in the future. The hosts were great and responded to any questions we had.

While the condo was large and the view spectacular, there were some misses, rather than hits. Broken dryer, with damp towels from previous guests, so we had to wash and lay things out dry, no back up towels, etc. Also much of the condo was old, with stained carpeting, and the tiniest coffee maker for such a large crowd.

Reviewer Comments:
My wife and I, together with our long-time traveling friends, have recently completed a two week stay at Keauhou Surf and Racquet Club. First 5 nights at unit 5-103, followed by eight nights at unit 2-204. Together or separately, we have stayed at this development at least 20 times, always in buildings 1-5. We have a good idea of what to expect. 5-103 was nearly perfect. Clean, updated, and with all the extras you could ask for. We had two small issues both of which were immediately resolved by property manager. We then moved to 2-204 - a different world. I am sure the carpets had been vacuumed, and the tables and counters wiped down BUT the dishes were mismatched and chipped, utensils were a collection of leftovers, a cheap 4 cup coffee pot, a cheap toaster, kitchen liners were disintegrating and sticking to the dishware, no kitchen cloths, no broom, gross stains in the living room carpet (with a futile effort to cover with the furniture), light above dining table was filthy, no bathroom wastebaskets, no sink stopper in master bathroom, no tub mat in tub, no bath mats, master toilet runs constantly, rust around tub, twin bed pillow ripped, hall bathroom door splintered near the floor. No telling how long it had been since the decking glass had been cleaned. This unit is tired, worn-out and neglected. No pride of ownership. I can’t believe the owners ever visit. The sad thing is that most of these issues could be taken care of by a deep and thorough cleaning, and less than $2000. Because of the location, quiet and wonderful condition of the grounds, this unit could be raised to a 3.5 to 4 star unit. As it presently stands, guests should not be forced to put up with the minimum standards this unit offers. I don’t know if the fault lies with the property manager or the owner, but it needs to be resolved. We would rate this at barely 2 stars and would not recommend anybody stay in unit 4-204 until it is put in better condition. Garry W. Jones

Reviewer Comments:
The unit itself was nice. If not for Knutson & Associates' business practices, I would've given it 5-stars. Here's the good. The unit is clean, has a beautiful view, and there's beach equipment provided. But here's the bad, which should be enough to not use this provider. After booking on VRBO (and confirmed in an email), Knutson & Associates then sends an 8-page document "requiring" a $49 insurance charge (hidden on page 3 and you can't stay there without signing). If it's "required," shouldn't that be stated in their VRBO listing? I've since spoken with VRBO and all they can say is that Knutson charged the extra amount and I should contact the provider directly to reverse this. I told them that I go through VRBO because they're supposed to ensure that I don't get overcharged (plus why is their provider allowed to charge my credit card directly an additional $49 not listed in the original quote...and VRBO knows nothing about it and tells me to contact the provider?). VRBO's attitude is that it's out of their hands, so it's on me to spend the hours I've been wasting to correct their wrong. They said they'd contact Knutson and get back to me but it's been 10 days and nothing. Problem #2 is that this unit has paper thin blinds throughout, so if you can't sleep with the sun shining directly in your face, look elsewhere. To compound this issue, some of the bedroom blinds were broken and wouldn't close all the way anyway. I made a courtesy "just so you know" call to the property manager (to be nice, not to complain) and he acknowledged that the blinds were old and likely need replacement. I would've let that go, but in light of this sneaky hidden charge, everyone might as well know about that as well. If you're okay with a provider sneaking extra charges to your credit card (I reviewed my statement and caught it...how many people have they done this to who have no idea?), forcing you to spend hours chasing down VRBO + credit card charges, then enjoy!

The condo is bright, airy, and spacious. We loved the wrap-around lanai with ocean views. The living room was comfortable. However, the kitchen is dark and the appliances are old. The white refrigerator has scratches and stains on it, which makes it appear dirty. There is a serious ant issue in both the kitchen and the two bathrooms. Small ants crawl on kitchen and bath counters as well as along the bathroom walls. With ants in the kitchen, who would want to cook there? There is also no deadbolt on the front door. There is only one switch type lock, but no secondary lock. Although our safety was never compromised, we thought this was odd for the main door to the condo. The sliding glass doors need to be oiled up or repositioned along its tracks -- it wasn't the easiest to maneuver open and closed.

We had a great vacation on the Bid Island at KKSR 2-204. The unit had most everything we needed (it lacked a can opener and pair of tongs - which we purchased and left in the unit - and could have used a larger frying pan). The kitchen needs updating and the squeak queen bed should be changed out for a king in the master bedroom. The unit needs new bed pillows all around.... The headboards on the twin beds in the second bedroom should either be attached or removed as they hit the walls anytime any movement was made on the beds.Overall the unit was nice and comfortable and we loved the wrap around lanai.

Wonderful condo. The huge wrap around lanai with access from the master is great. We brought another couple and there was lots of room. There was beach chairs, boogie boards, lots of towels etc. Living room with sets of floor to ceiling windows both sides provided awesome views. Condo faces west and sunset is right in front of your lanai. We had several dolphin sitings including a school of about 30 leaping their way northwards. Kitchen well equipped, fridge has ice-maker. The BBQ's were a short walk away and never seemed busy. Local phone wasn't working when we arrived but management got it up and running quickly. Local manager Albert great help as he was co-ordinating parking lot resurfacing when we were there. Normally you have your own spot so no issue. Gated entrance so local residents only. You are south of town so about 15 mins to get into Kona. There is a good mall about two minutes away with a Longs, grocery store, several restaurants. There is a good snorkel beach 2 minutes north and a great sandy beach for swimming and boarding if the surf is up another few minutes up the road. Sea Paradise and Fair Winds work out of small marina few miles south if you want to snorkel Capt Cook monument. Looking forward to coming back.

My husband and I are used to rent hotels for our vacations. Not any more! The condo was perfect: clean, well furnished, cute, GREAT location, SUPERB view, nothing was missing in there, from the dishes to the books and infos on the Big Island, they even had some reading books and games! But the clue was the lanai: we loved it so much, so spent our whole time on it, didn't even try the couch! It was very quiet, grounds well maintained, a lot of privacy. LOVED IT! Will recommend to all my friends and announce it on my Facebook. Special thanks to Blake Kessner, who answer to all queries super quick. I will no doubt return at some point, there was so much to do and see, we didn't had time to do it all.

The condo is located in a quiet gated community. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of supplies. The queen size bed was a little small, but is very comfortable. They provide plenty of towels, both for the condo and the beach. It also has a new washer and dryer that worked well for us. It is located only a short drive to a really nice beach that had great snorkeling. Grocery store and other shops very close by.
