Mahalo! Entire townhouse. On our very first visit to the Big Island of Hawaii we absolutely fell in love with this magical island. We rented a townhouse in Keauhou Kona Surf and Racquet Club right next to this one and so enjoyed the peace and scenery of the place that we were fortunate to purchased this townhouse before we left the island. The Unique Benefits at this Townhome: If you're a very light sleeper you might want to bring ear plugs because the sound of the ocean waves never ceases at this place! The master bedroom, living room and lanai look unobstructed over 2,500 miles of unbroken Pacific Ocean, the waves of which break not even 50 feet from your door. There is a poem by Rachel Lyman Field that says "If once you have slept on an island You'll never be quite the same". That experience is what you will find here!
