About this property

Beach Front, Ocean View Condo (Best Surfing/Snorkeling).

This lovely, spacious condo at Kahalu'u Beach (Turtle Beach) has incredible Ocean and Sunset views, and is the perfect escape for guests wanting easy access to swimming, snorkeling, surfing and golfing. Ours is an unit on the ground floor in the back with views of the ocean and coastline (no stairs and away from street noise).

Our complex, the Beach Villas, is the newest development in Kailua-Kona and offers off-street parking, an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, a cozy lava rock spa, a gas barbecue and a large picnic area with tables, chairs and lounge chairs for family gatherings. The Keikei area of the Infinity Pool is great for kids to play in or simply for all to sit and sunbathe in the shallow water.

Kahalu'u Beach Park across the street is well protected by sea walls, and provides for gentle swimming and a tide pool for kids. Sea turtles and colorful fish of various species are so plentiful making this spot the snorkeling paradise in the Big Island. Immediately to the north past the swimming/snorkeling are the rolling surfs where surf boards may be rented. Guests may use the boogie boards stocked in our unit, saving the trouble of renting boards. Cooler, umbrella, beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel gears and sand toys are all available to guests without extra charges. However, to assure better fits, guests may bring their own gears.

Golfing in the Kona Country Club is only 1/2 mile down the road. Its 4 star Ocean Course offers a spectacular setting of lush, wide fairways, and the sparkling Pacific at one's feet. Its 4-1/2 star Mountain Course overlooking the ocean offers a more challenging terrain with Ancient Hawaiian rock slides running through the center. Its Vista Restaurant has a spectacular view and serves customers breakfast and lunch.

Shopping and restaurants (including the famous Sam Choy's Kai Lanai) are all within a short walking distance, making our condo a comfortable home away from home for guests.

Our condo also offers a full cooking kitchen. Costco is a convenient stop on the way from the airport where guests may stock up for groceries.

NOTE: We charge $15 extra plus tax for optional use of air conditioning.

NOTE: We also own an adjacent condo. Check it out by clicking: https://www.vrbo.com/972083, and read the numerous 5-star reviews that our guests feel about our property.

Lovely Lanai
Being able to wander down the hill and across the street to snorkel was definitely a highlight. Our favourite room in the condo was the lanai, with it’s view of the park and ocean. The exterior of the complex is well-maintained with manicured gardens and a nice pool area. The condo itself is a little tired. A coat of paint, clearing the cupboards, removing/replacing the garburator, and new bed mattresses are suggestions for improvements. The property host was very responsive to our texts and emails.

Perfect for our family. Lots of room for everyone. Great location and view. Would stay here again.
Great experience for our family. The ad was accurate, and if anything, understates the positives of this property. The host was responsive and helpful. The property and accompanying amenities were more than we could of hoped for.

Hawaii Condo
We arrived to the big island late and we’re tired from a very long day. We had check in instructions but they didn’t work. We called both numbers listed for help. After conversation we finally were able to get the key and open the door. Lawrence was very apologetic for the miscommunication. The condo was quaint and tastefully decorated. It is in need of a deep clean and some minor maintenance.

Family vacation
Great, clean, private place to stay for a family! The AC didnt work well for us unfortnetly the entire time we were there but Lawrence made sure he had his on site people come look. Night was very hot but we managed. The people who stayed above us were very loud especially in the morning but we were gone by 10am so didnt affect us much. The snorkle beach across the road is amazing and there is a kta supermarket up the hill! Overall good place to stay

About the host

Hosted by Lawrence

Host profile image
My family lives in Laguna Beach, Southern California. My wife and I enjoy strolling along the beach taking in the fresh air and watching the beautiful seascape. I also love snorkeling - swimming among colorful tropical fish and sea turtles. My three sons are avid surfers and bogey boarders. They are out there catching the waves whenever they have a free moment.

Why they chose this property

While there is surf and sand in California, we love to vacation in the Big Island of Hawaii frequently because of the bluer and warmer water, the greener and lusher vegetation, the colorful tropical fish and the longer riding waves. Besides, we have many cousins throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

My son jumped at the opportunity of buying this unit together with a friend when it became available in early 2014. We enjoy the snorkeling and surfing across street from the condo so much that we just bought a second unit in this small beach front complex. We now have two adjacent units at this favorite spot of ours so that our entire family can return together every year --- we never get tired of it.

What makes this property unique

In the mornings, we wake up to enjoy the beautiful ocean view from our lanai. After having our morning cup of coffee, we gather our snorkeling gear and walk across the street to enjoy the best snorkeling spot on the island before the crowds show up. Sometime we are the only ones there and get to see the fish and turtles while the water is still pristine. After about an hour, we head back to the condo for a well deserved breakfast. Later in the afternoon after the crowds have left, we return for another round of snorkeling, surfing, or paddle boarding. There is nothing like NOT having to pack your gear, towels, food, and water; driving your car, and then looking for a parking space.
