They were not friendly - they reviewed us bad for laundry which was already done well - house wasn’t even damaged and they falsely claimed all of that - I won’t recommend .

The good: fantastic view, loved the location, grounds beautiful and peaceful, comfy bedThe bad: bathrooms badly in need of updating, can hear every move upstairs neighbors make, few more roaches than I had hoped. Overall: would stay again (just hope for quieter neighbors). Great sunset views. Loved being near KTA grocery store, Clover and Mug coffee shop and Royal Thai retaurant shop

This is a very nice unit. The king bed we used comfortable, nice kitchen, living area and especially the lanai. The views of the ocean and Kailua are beautiful. Watching the sunset doesn’t get much better than this. A few small things could be done to make this a 5-star property, such as installing new toilets because the current old ones barely flush, replacing the tower fan which is noisy and barely works, and upgrading the ceiling fans. The housekeepers could also scrub the bathrooms a bit better. Bua really great unit

The best part about this property is the outstanding, near-immediate response from Knutson & Assoc, whether it's about area information or rental questions. They are above first class.While the condo advertises that it accommodates four people, it really only comfortably accommodates two. Both bathrooms have only one sink, and the master bedroom opens to the general living area and kitchen. It would be okay for two adults and two children. Noise from the unit above can penetrate, but it is tolerable.The living area and kitchen are large and open onto a beautiful lanai, which commands a wonderful view of the ocean and is likely where you will eat all your meals. This is a large condominium resort with a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, but no hot tub. It is south of Kona proper and well-located for venturing north or south. It is close to two beaches, but they are usually overcrowded. The best beaches are about an hour north.We enjoyed this place as our first time on the Big Island.

Great Location for beaches. Walking distance to the Mall was a plus. Teens enjoyed the pool. Our condo was good except the floor hadn’t been mopped in awhile because it turn our feet and socks black. Oh yeah bring your own toilet paper for sure. Nice and quiet area. We had a bbq under the pavilion that was nice.

Location, location, location couldn’t have been any better or closer to the ocean. Nothing better than seeing and hearing the beautiful ocean right outside your patio door. We enjoyed and loved every minute of our stay. The condo was nice, but it definitely is in need of some TLC. The ‘wear n’ tear’ shows and a ‘refresh’ would be nice. We we’re grateful for the AC.

This is our favorite place, every year we’re here we’re already planning our next adventure back here! Property is outstanding; comfortable, beautiful and incredibly convenient. The sunsets on the lanai are unparalleled, and days at the pool are peaceful and easy. You won’t regret coming here, and Trent and Jessica are the best hosts!

Enjoyed our stay at this corner unit. Wrap around deck was great for children and entertaining. Unit was spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The weather was nice so the fans were adequate to keep the rooms at a comfortable temperature. There were great recreation facilities with a beautiful pool and picnic area. Even though the area has many units, it was extremely quiet and peaceful. Only drawback was no elevator and bags had to be carried up two flights of stairs.

Everything was perfect but we were disappointed in the beach. We just traveled to other beaches. Loved the keyless entry which made it easy for everyone to come and go. Did not like the big black ants in the loft. Yes we would use Virbo again. Thank you

The location was great, the unit is great size and accommodated our family of 6 nicely. The view straight off the lanai is great and saw beautiful sunsets every night.
Honestly, never even turned on the tv once.
The kitchen was supplied well enough and the grilling area was always with friendly travellers. Great stay and will consider again if going back to Kona.

Perfect location next to Kahalu’u Beach Park for snorkling and surfing. Grounds were gorgeous. Used the BBQ twice and both times it was very clean and in great condition. Three minutes from Keauhou Shopping Center for groceries, restaurants, movies, and farmers market.

We have stayed in a few different condo units at the KKSRC. This was by far the best so far. So nice to have such a well stocked unit with quality features. Loved the view and the breeze coming in. Especially loved having a stove top kettle for our cups of tea. Communication was great. Honestly could not have asked for a better holiday/vacation spot.

The great room opened out onto large wrap around patio overlooking lush lawn and manicured landscape with far off view of ocean. Wonderful spot for coffee, sunning, napping, or a glass of wine. We were away most of the time. Kitchen well equipped. I had bought a bottle of wine and noticed that was the one kind of glass that was missing so I sent a text and a new set of wine glasses was promptly delivered. Even though both bedrooms have tvs, when it was verified the main one didn’t work, a new one was purchased and installed right away. Very good service. Condo has one private king bedroom and a second queen extended off the living room, which seats 6-8 people. We loved our stay. A note of caution. Even though it’s a ground unit there are several steps to the entry so it wouldn’t be great for someone with mobility issues. Beautiful pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and nice walk to the beach. Convenient location. Nearby grocery store and shopping center, five miles to a small Walmart with limited food supply, and five miles from very friendly Catholic Church. The cantor had a voice like Josh Grobin. Many restaurants to choose from.

Lovely ground floor unit, good breezes, well furnished, great views. Can hear folks upstairs some. Lots of space to recreate by pool, pickleball courts and volleyball area but some families use grassy strip in front of patios as a play area. Gets noisy and disturbs enjoying time outside if you prefer less activity, especially at sunset. Wish we had known this in advance. Contacted management, they suggested we book another unit in the future to avoid this. ☹️

1. The location is literally on the shoreline with continuous surf and great sunsets. No road/car noise with golf fairway on 1 side and the shoreline on the other side of building.
2. Very tastefully remodeled and furnished. Great beds.
3. On-shore breeze and multiple ceiling fans kept the apartment comfortable.
4. Well equipped with dishes, pans and small appliances.
5. The only deficiency was the lanai ceiling fan did not work. Knutson said they would address after our departure.

The oceanfront location cannot be beat. Has all the kitchen and beach things you need. Beautiful artwork and comfy bed and linens. The unit is showing its age a bit and could use a little TLC, but no showstoppers. We would definitely stay again.
November 2024
Impressive, from entering the property to arriving at our unit. We were oceanfront, but far enough back to the sound of the waves or somewhat muted; which was one of our concerns when we rented the property.
The unit itself was impressive, well equipped, and comfortable.
We had an issue with the TVs, but I’m sure the issue was us being senior citizens. Contacted the management company, they promptly sent over a very delightful and helpful employee to get us back on track.
Only a couple of things could’ve been improved upon, one being it was advertised as an end unit and it was in the middle, another one was there was supposed to be some consumables to get started, which I assume meant two or three days, maybe a little longer, probably a tablespoon of coffee, no pepper and a box of teabags only had one teabag and one usable.
Other than those issues, we would stay there and recommend it to our friends

The stay was outstanding, the first morning we were treated by spinner dolphins cavorting while we watched from the lanai. We were able to catch all but one sunset from the comfortable lanai. It’s funny, but we started arranging our excursions and dinners to make sure that we could have an adult beverage and watch the sunset. There are beach chairs and umbrellas to use. The condo had everything we needed and/or wanted. The condo was very clean. The hosts were responsive and friendly and had good recommendations. We were a little melancholy the last morning and sitting on the lanai when our friends the spinner dolphins came by and put on an acrobatic show.

Absolutely loved this property and would be happy to go back again. Close enough to town and its amenities but enough distance that you don’t feel smothered. Ocean front was incredible and it was so lovely listening to the waves the whole stay. The pool and bbqs were great (didn’t have any time for tennis!) and the unit had so many added essentials to help make our trip even better. The grounds are also super meticulously kept and beautiful. Would love to come back again asap!

We had another great visit to KSRC - our favorite place to stay on the Big Island! We have stayed in a couple of different units here over the years and this is definitely one we would return to. Well maintained, amazing view, close proximity to the little adjacent beach as well as the pool - perfection! Loved laying in bed and watching/listening to the ocean waves. When we needed help with a fan in the unit that wasn't working, the property manager was quick to respond. Definitely recommend. Aloha and Mahalo!

I can only say this was the best condo we have ever stayed at while in Hawaii. The view was amazing as seen in the pictures. The sound of the ocean is very soothing. My wife and I stayed 7 nights and had our breakfast and dinner at the condo all but 1 day. Why go to a restaurant that has a great view when you already have your own private spacious lanai to enjoy? The sunsets from the lanai were beautiful. The condo was very clean and had everything that you would need for a comfortable stay. It is updated very well with beautiful wooden floors and a great kitchen. The bed was very comfortable. The condo does not have an air conditioner but does not need one as the ceiling fans and breeze kept the place very comfortable. The condo is a short walk to the KTA food market and the Keauhou shopping center. We will stay here again on our next trip to the big Island. We found a gem.

My husband and I spent a week here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Each morning we had our coffee and watched the sunrise listening to the ocean and each evening viewed the ever changing sunset was amazing; witnessing the beauty God has created. Sleeping and listening to the soothing sound of the ocean was so relaxing. The condo was very comfortable, clean, quiet, private, and convenient. The communication with property management was great. We took a day trip to another island and were notified of a power outage via text before we got back allowing us to be prepared before we returned. We appreciated their regular check ins to ensure our stay was comfortable. Amazing experience.

We loved this condo! It is even more lovely than the pictures show. The decor is classy, understated, and made up feel like we were at a 5-star resort. It is clear they stay here themselves and this is not just a rental with cheap or well-worn furniture. The owners have thought of every single thing you might need on your trip, down to an ice pack in the freezer! Very private and peaceful. We did not want to leave and would definitely stay here again.

There is so much to share about this home! First, the location is incredible - to open the backdoor and feel the ocean breeze was so wonderful! Our family loved looking at the tide pools and seeing reef fish at high tide! We were a short drive from so many amazing beaches and places. The house was fully loaded with everything we needed, including things like a mini beach cooler, snorkels, tennis/pickleball rackets, beach chairs...we didn't need to buy a thing to be very comfortable! We can't wait to come back - this house was a key part of why we loved Kona so much!

We really liked the condo, very spacious and comfortable. We found everything we needed to prepare most of our own food.
The only negatives were: The close proximity to a main road. The noise really picked up about 5:30 am. and continued all day.
We had at least a couple of large cockroaches every day, and a few small ones. Maybe fumigatation would help?
