Great communication before and during the trip. House was welcoming and well stocked with everything we needed. A couple of small items we inquired about were addressed right away. Great location in quiet neighborhood, easy walk down to Magic Sands beach for morning swims and sunsets.
Lovely house. Very well-equipped and clean. Quiet and peaceful area. Walking distance to the beach. Good communication with the host
Magic Sands Retreat was perfect! The property is centrally located. We were able to explore the entire island and come home to prepare quick meals in the well equipped kitchen. We loved all the beach accessories at the home. Having beach items made our experience at the beautiful beaches amazing. The home is surrounded by lush landscape that is home to many birds and geckos which our little one loved! The home is comfortable, cozy, well equipped, with lots of outdoor seating areas. We are also very happy with the property management company as they checked on our well being and were very accessible if we had needed any assistance. We would also like to thank the owners and property management staff as they were accommodating to an unforeseen family emergency requiring travel modifications. Our family was treated with respect, sympathy, care, and compassion. Thank you for sharing the ohana love!
The house was perfect for our family. The house was lovely and comfortable and close to the beach!

Everything was really clean. Nice home. We loved the air conditioning and extra beach supplies.
The home was lovely! We particularly enjoyed the deck and the numerous songbirds that visited the nearby trees, the plentiful beach supplies to help make our stay more enjoyable, and large living spaces.
We stayed 8 nights and were able to relax and enjoy the birds every morning and it was only a 5 minute walk to Magic Sands Beach. The property management team was very communicative and helpful. If you want a place to stay to relax, this is your place.
Property is well maintained, comfortable and everything we needed was there. Easy access to Magic Sands beach and Kona proper. Nice outdoor space.

We spent a week at Magic Sands Retreat Hale in November 2024. The house is great, and the location canʼt be beat. We could walk down to Magic Sands Beach in just a few minutes, even though the neighborhood is very quiet. There were plenty of beach chairs, two umbrellas, boogie boards and sand toys. There was even a wagon that we could load up and take to the beach. The management company was very quick to respond to questions. I highly recommend this property.
Perfect … just perfect :)
This wasn’t a rental property, this was a beautiful home. The house was charming and beautifully decorated. The small residential lot was gorgeously landscaped and meticulously maintained. It was much nicer than the pictures. I’ve never enjoyed a rental more. It’s located in a quiet residential area two blocks from the beach. Not on the water, but I absolutely loved it.

10 days on the island!!!
This was a wonderful, quiet, clean home for us to spend a vacation. We appreciated the welcome gifts and all the home had to offer. It was lovely to be able to relax on the porch and felt like home.

The Magic Sands Retreat was everything we wished for, needed, and more, to make our Kona stay wonderful. The home and outdoor area are beautiful!Located in a quiet neighborhood, it is conveniently near Magic Sands beach and Alii Drive (walkable to the beach).Well stocked kitchen, plenty of quality linens, and all the beach and water amenities needed, including a fold-up wagon to transport them to the water's edge.The welcome gift of local products was tasteful and appreciated.We accepted the offer of an in-person check-in as we had not been to Kona in 3 decades, and appreciated the friendliness and local information given by Melissa! Vacation rental management staff very quick to respond to questions before and after booking. Excellent service.HIGHLY recommended, would love to stay here again!

This place is just amazing, very close by the beach, like 4 minutes walking.
This place is amazing, is located very near by the beach, we just walked like 3 min to the beautiful Magic Sand Beach
Beautiful property has everything you need.
We had a wonderful time during our stay here. The home was incredibly clean and the perfect set up for our family of five. We used the kitchen a lot to cook, especially breakfast and dinner. There were lots of supplies for beach days, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, even a wagon. The location was very convenient and made exploring the Kona coast so easy.

With less than 5 min walk to Magic Sands Beach the perfect location. Close to Alii Drive (main drag) and just far enough away to retreat and relax at the end of the day. This home was recently remodeled, and it shows. Everything you need for a day at the beach is also there. The yards surrounding the property are amazing and full of plant and bird life. As a bonus, few friendly geckos help keep the mosquito population down. Just great.

We found the home very nicely appointed and very clean. Located on a nice street and very quiet! Driveway has just enough room for 2 cars. I would not say it's centrally located, being about 15 min drive from down town, but probably much quieter than a down town location. There are no 'real' restaurants within walking distance for example. It's a few minutes walk to the beach, but that's really just a nice bonus and not really a major benefit as the beach is small and quite rocky. It's fun to see the sunset there, but don't expect to spend a day a the beach there. Only small issue we had was we could not get some of the power outlets working. The issue was never resolved. Note that 3rd bedroom (with 2 beds) is really not technically a bedroom as it has no closet. Overall we loved it and these small points are just to provide information and not meant to be complaints.

Not much else to describe but perfect, fans and AC, perfect driving or walking distance to popular spots for the area, quiet neighborhood protected from big trees can’t ever hear traffic, doors that lead outside to an awesome deck, & great kitchen area. Good service from rental company, highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at the Magic Sands Retreat. The location is perfect. A short walk to the beach is a big feature, we loved that. When we arrived we found the house immaculate, that is a big plus for my family. The management team is helpful and well informed regarding the area and the home. The kitchen is well equipped and has large counter space. The house has air conditioning in all of the rooms so it's easy to be comfortable.This was our third year staying in this home and we are looking forward to next year.

Our small family group enjoyed this great house near Magic Sands Beach. We could walk there in about 2 or 3 minutes, yet the house itself is in a quiet neighborhood. It is well-maintained, not that big, but with a large well-furnished deck out back that runs the length of the house. We spent a lot of time out there. Property management was responsive. I would recommend this to friends or relatives. We would rent here again next time we visit Kona.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The cottage was stylishly furnished with lovely artwork. The home has great outdoor space with lush landscaping. We very much enjoyed the privacy and laid back feel. This is a place where you cantruly relax. We will be back!
In 2013 we had stayed in Kona at a hotel. but this time we wanted to rent a house to have more flexibility. We came across this listing and could not believe this house was available.
We got the three bedrooms as we figured our daughters (20 & 17) would not want to share a room...we were wrong. They shared the room with the twin beds and loved it. The kitchen was brand new and updated. Everything we needed was there.
We especially enjoyed the deck/lanai in the morning where we had breakfast/tea/coffee.
A bonus for us was that the house had beach chairs, boogie boards, and coolers for our beach days. Also, it was a few minutes to walk to Magic Sands Beach. After traveling for many hours it was perfect to walk to the beach and see the sunset on our arrival day.
We would happily stay here again.

Very nice, well kept, three bedroom house. I can confirm the third bedroom now has two twin beds. Lots of room for everyone inside and the outside decks are great for relaxing and having meals. Plenty of equipment for snorkeling and just hanging at the beach.
