Remodeled Keauhou STVR Condo: Luxe Living Hawaii Real Estate

Aloha everybody, Mike Drutara, Principal Broker, Nexon Paradise Realty, bringing you another property tour. Today we are going to check out this adorable two-bedroom, two-bath condo, a little over a thousand square feet, in a resort node here in Keaho. So you are allowed to do short-term vacation rentals. This is listed by Lori McNeil over at First Island Realty, and a big thank you to her for letting us bring this to you. This has a lot to offer, and I think these things are going to be nice little cash cows. They're making it harder and to do vacation rentals here, and having a place that is allowed to do it by right, and this is because it's in a resort node, it's really going to be advantageous. So I have a couple lanai's. We'll start right here. You walk up your little staircase, your parking spot's not like 50 feet away. You come up your staircase and like four steps, and you're right here on your covered lanai, a great place to take in a dinner, and then coming inside. Really nice. We actually have high ceilings. This really nice modern ceiling fan. This place was built in 71. You can't even tell. No popcorn ceilings. The texture on the wall looks great. It's kind of like styles come back around, that sort of Santa Fe slightly textured look. I don't know if that's going to come out on camera or not, but not like the orange peel knockdown. Looks really good. They have that on the ceiling as well, so it's nice and smooth. We have a nice section over here with two really gorgeous end tables. I like what they've got going on there, and then one on the other side, and then a nice coffee table. You got the Hawaiian Islands in there. How cool is that? Got a laminate flooring. It looks gorgeous. It's coming out really well on camera there, and that blends in perfectly. Nice modern design style that we like to see right here to the kitchen. Kitchen is really checking all the boxes. We got shaker style cabinets. They're in white. We got the chrome handles. I read the comments, guys. They're closed off on the end, so you don't have a bar sticking out that grabs your belt loop. That has happened to me online, but I live with it. We got stainless steel on our appliances. Stainless steel over here on our microwave and our oven. We have a two-section oven there. Really great with the glass cooktop. Five burners up there. We have a stainless steel single basin sink. Looks gorgeous. Really nice design on this. We have our smaller, like a two-person dishwasher, but if you're like me, you end up doing all the dishes by hand anyhow. And a great island over here. So this has been recently remodeled. There used to be a wall right here that really closed things up, and they have just completely opened this up. Oh yeah, the stainless steel LG refrigerator. French door refrigerator on top with water and ice dispenser. Freezer on the drawer down below. And then obviously, we got to talk about this stone. This quartzite countertop is looking gorgeous. I love the splash of color. The blue is probably going to pop more on camera than in person. It's definitely a nice strong blue, but the thing that's really cool about it is there's so much movement. Come over here to this section. You got some color in there, some light and some dark. You got some veins going across left to right. I'm a big fan of this. This looks great. And you know, this thing is going to photograph really well for your vacation rental photos. You know, people are looking at what they're going to get, and you're like, here we go. There's the shot. They're going to be like, that's your vacation rental. Really good. I love our pendant lights hanging. Those are nice. A little splash of glam. Really good job here. Really like it. So that's our lower level. And we go up a couple of steps here. Oh, full-sized washer and dryer, A++. And then you can make this a little owner's lockout. Change the lock on there and put your personal items or, you know, things that you don't want to share, boogie boards or whatever that you don't want to share. You can lock those up in there.

This is a bike room. A couple of nice bikes. You can tell those guys ride fast. And then you have the louvered windows over here. All right, now I hear some of you in the comments sometime talking about how you don't like louvered windows, but hear me out. You can open all those windows and all this air flows right through, which is really great for us here in Hawaii. It's super, super awesome. If you had a traditional window, you'd have like, I don't know, four square feet on two windows right there that let's air through. This is like 10 times as much. And that's why we like louvered windows so much. Yeah, every once in a while you have to adjust something and you need to take care of them like you do anything else in your house to make sure they last. But I'm telling you, louvered windows are awesome. Closet over here. So yeah, pretty good sized room in here, really. So that is a bedroom. And oh, I should point out this tile down below that 12 by 24 tile that kind of, it's crossed, whatever you want to call it. It's got some, some look to it. It's kind of a light sandstone sort of look on there, which blends in really well with this European style bathroom. So why is it European style? Because there's not a door to the sink. So the sink is here open. And actually we did see this a lot when we were in Italy. They've done a really nice job. Nice countertop on here as well. That's not a crack. That's a vein. You see another vein right there. And then this really cool splash of color with this green stone. I don't even know what you call it. What do we call this guys? Let me know in the comments below. I don't know if this is a vessel sink or, or what you call it. Some sort of a stone basin. Really cool. And then on the walls back here, kind of getting resort quality here with this look. It's like a really nice spa. 12 by 36 tile. These things look great. So you go light and then the gray ones looks good. And then nice attention to detail. They use the Schluter systems border over there on the side. You didn't have to do that. Spent the extra money on that, which is good. When you see people spend money on little things, you know, they did the other things right. Nice little shelving system over here. And then a shower pan with this really cool shower head up here. I think it's pretty cool. And Oh, you got a wand right there and then your toilet and then a pocket door for your privacy. Really cool. And then nice open in this central area. We go up a smaller flight of stairs than a full flight, but I'm close to a full flight of stairs up here to the upper bedroom. This is the main room, the primary, I guess you'd say. We do have a pocket door that I just walked through. You have a pocket door going over here into the bathroom. Check out this thing too. This place has really cool sinks. I think that is really cool. So cool sink over here, pocket door to your bathroom. That same kind of tile look a little different tile, but it's similar look that we had downstairs. A little bit of a traditional walk-in shower. And then it looks like we had a queen-size bed, but we could very easily fit a king-size bed in here. Yeah, absolutely. Because we got about five feet on the right side and about four feet on the left side. Coming around here, closet on one side, closet on the other side. I like this giant mirror here. You know, no one needs to see me, but I know when Lisa's getting ready, she likes to have a nice big mirror. The women love having it. And it also makes this place feel huge. I got to say that is a really well-placed mirror on there. Nice built-ins with cedar on our closet. And then our slider out here to our upper lanai, which is awesome. You can see a beautiful day out here in Hawaii. Super cool unit. All right, my three favorite things about this place. And the one thing I would change or add, change or add is going to be pretty tough. Favorite thing number one is going to be that kitchen. I think it's great. It makes a wonderful impression as soon as you walk in the door. I think it's going to look really good in your photos for your vacation rental. It's going to be very easy to market this property. Favorite thing number two is the current list price. It's listed at $665. And I think that, I think it's $665. That is a great deal out here for a short-term vacation rental, two-bedroom place. I think this is going to be an absolute cash cow. Favorite thing number three is that I really like this complex. It's a little boutique complex, Keaho Resort down in Keaho, just below the Keaho Shopping Center and a short like six-minute walk from Keaho Bay. So location is really good. It's a little bit more quiet than Kona for the people who are wanting to have a little bit more of a peaceful vacation. I think it's a great spot. And I can't think of anything to change or add. If you come up with something, let me know in the comments below. I hope you liked this video. I got more for you in the corner and I'll see you again real soon.
