Rental Details

Rental Overview

Location, location, location. The Beach House is the closest rental house to Magics Beach and Magics Grill. Magic Sands Beach is the the most popular beach in town and gets its name from the fact that the sand comes and goes based on the waves. (Really big waves will pull the sand out and small waves build the beach up. In other words, after a big storm the beach sand disappears and will then build back after the storm. Like "magic.") With chairs, boogie boards and beach gear at the house you are only about 100 steps away from the beach area. After you get back from the beach, rinse off the sand with the handy outdoor shower. We have a pool, pickleball court, ping pong table and foosball table. We will built a large gazebo with a table that seats 12-14 next to the pool for large family barbeques. Under the house near the pool and pickleball court is a ping pong table and a foosball table! Family games galore! Look out the windows and check out the waves before you go to the beach. With 4 bedrooms, the house can sleep up to 14. If you want to be in the middle of the action, this is the place. The main living area is on the 3rd floor of the house which offers terrific views. The top floor has a master bedroom with a king sized bed and attached bath and a 2nd bedroom with a queen sized bed with a full bathroom in the hallway. Each of the bedrooms has peek ocean views. The house has air conditioning throughout with the ability to control the temperature in each room. The second floor has two bedrooms (one with a king sized bed and one with queen bunk beds), a full bath, and a separate game room area with a TV (this has a fold down futon style couch.) There is also a washer and dryer on the second floor. The house was remodeled in January 2022 so it offers a lot of newer and upgraded amenities. In addition to the beach being across the street, the house is also across the street from Magic Sands Grill, one of the most popular local places to eat. Enjoy watching the sunsets every evening from the 3rd floor lanai. The yard is fully fenced for additional privacy and there is plenty of parking for multiple cars. The house is centrally located on Alii Drive such that you are less than 2 miles to the Keauhou Shopping Center to the South and about 1 mile from downtown Kona to the North. The 4 bedrooms have a total of 2 king and 3 queen sized beds. There is also a comfortable queen sized futon in the 2nd floor living room, two padded cots and a comfy couch upstairs for additional sleeping options.

The house is a beautiful and clean house. There are so many different amenities to use while staying here. To include a pool, ping pong table and pickle ball court. It is only a couple of minutes walk to a nice beach. The house is central to everything around Kona. The only negative thing about this house is the street noise, but you get used to it quickly..

Air conditioning was ok in the heat of the day, cooled but barely. Took a long time to cool the house. Upstairs door lock wouldn’t catch to let us in, it was an aged digital combo lock. The queen bunk beds were not very solid for a full adult couple to sleep on the top bunk. House was clean, plenty of dishes for 5 couples. Pool and beach stuff was amazing! Plenty of gear (snorkeling, water shoes, chairs etc) for a day at the beach. The busy road next to the house is definitely loud into the night but mornings were pretty nice up until 8 or so am.

Wonderful time. Family of 8 stayed here and we had plenty of room. I was surprised how much we used the pool because Magic Sands was rocky. Spent a lot of time on the lanai. Welcome surprise was the large amount of beach toys available for our use.

Great location, walk across road toMagic Sands Beach, drive a half mile to snorkeling with clear water good variety of fish and we even saw some large sea turtles. Take the opportunity to night snorkel with Captain Bill. This Manta Ray experience is super, and it’s ten minutes from the house. Bill and Levi were fun and informative. We were a group of nine from four to seventy four. Hope to go back again.

We loved the property. Easy check in and great communication with on site manager. We had a minor bug problem on our third day but the onsite manager got someone out really fast to take care of it. Just one thing to make note of is that the driveway exits to a semi-busy street and the visibility of cars coming from the left is limited. You just have to keep an eye out and ease out and turn left quickly if you are going in that direction. Not a problem but just something to be aware of. No issues with anything and good instructions left onsite. Magic Sands is an easy walk but make sure you bring water shoes as the big island beaches are more rocky than sandy. A lot different than Oahu or Maui. Black Sands Beach, Two Step Beach, and the beach at the park by the harbor are very close and great places for beach time. Take the wagon to haul gear. Heavenly Coffee has great views in the morning looking down on Kona. Get a Scraggle there! Donuts and breakfast sandwiches and wraps are across the street. We would defiantly stay here again and after visiting Hilo, we would probably stay more on the Kona side and just drive to things in Hilo. If you head to Hilo, try Randy's Huli Chicken. On the Kona side we ate at a lot of good places and didn't find anything we didn't like so explore and try. Our Best excursions were the Mona Kea Star Gazing, get Fernando as your guide, and the night time Manta Ray snorkel, make sure it is the Hang Loose crew and captain. Simply Amazing!

This was a perfect place for our family of nine - 6 years to 72 yrs. Close to beaches, great views & plenty of space. Great pool & other amenities. It’s on a busy street so at times can be noisy but that was not an issue for us. Owner & management very responsive to any questions or issues. Would stay there again with a large group.

We could not have had a better stay! Three generations, and everyone had a great time. The younger kids many days went from the pool, to the beach and back to the pool. I think they were in the water six hours a day! Everyone enjoyed pickleball and the pool. Air conditioning was appreciated, internet was strong enough for ten of us, shaved ice just feet from the house and a two minute walk to one of the best beaches on the island! Needed help one time, and the problem was resolved in a manner of hours. Could not have asked for more.

Our whole family (3 children and their spouses plus 3 grandchildren) spent a week at the beach house near Magic Sands Beach. We had an incredible time exploring the island but enjoyed our time at the house the most. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. The pool, the games, the view on the lanai. We will be talking about this trip for long time! Thank you for the everlasting memories!

Our family of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids ages 9-11) had a great time at this beach house! The location is amazing, across the street from Magic Sands Beach, and gorgeous ocean and sunset views from the third floor (main floor). The bottom level is full of activities with the pool and pickleball court being the biggest hits with our family. We also appreciated the amount of bath and beach towels, and all the beach accessories available to use. Would recommend this property to anyone looking in the area!

My family of 8 truly enjoyed our trip. The house was perfect. Plenty of space to spread out and the pool was awesome. Brand-new towels made it even better. Can't beat the location.

We were a group of 11, ages 4 to 75, traveling from 4 different states to celebrate our matriarch's 75th birthday. I have traveled using many vacation homes before, and I must say, this home was everything it is described to be and full of everything a family needs to enjoy a great stay in Kona. It is obvious that there is intentional planning for amenities and necessities and making the stay comfortable. I highly recommend this property. Thanks so much for making our stay easy peesy!

We are 4 sisters and our spouses that enjoyed our stay at the beach house. We appreciated 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and spacious great room to gather in. Glorious air conditioning! In addition there were all the beach toys, pickleball court, pool, ping pong table, football… so much to do so little time when not exploring the island.

This house was great for our annual extended family trip. It was clean and well stocked. Several extra fridges and laundry machines. Communication with the homeowner was very immediate. Just a note if there are elderly people staying at the house, there are ALOT of stairs. Magic Sands Beach is literally just across the street… we walked over for the sunset everyday. Would stay again.
