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!

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.

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.

We enjoyed our stay at the Magic Sands Retreat. Beautiful home with a great laini for relaxing or enjoying my an outdoor happy hour. One bedroom has 2 twin beds and not a double pull out couch as described. Would definately stay again.
