You need never leave this four-bedroom home to have a memorable vacation in Kailua-Kona, as you'll have your very own outdoor pool, a private hot tub, and a picnic and grilling area on the terrace to enjoy in the Big Island sunshine. Yet this property also boasts an ideal location for beach-going and exploring, with Magic Sands Beach Park less than half a mile up the road.
Scenically set among the palms and a few houses back from the ocean, this two-level home was designed to accommodate a crowd. There are small comforts and conveniences everywhere you look, from the two washers and two dryers on the back patio to the six TVs positioned throughout the house.
Make yourself at home in the main living space on the second floor, offering exposed-beam ceilings, windows on three sides that frame tropical greenery, and an airy layout that's only enhanced by opening the balcony doors. The living room has a pair of sofas and a big-screen TV and entertainment system, while the dining room table sits in the light and the breeze of the sliding glass doors. The kitchen has every essential appliance (including a double-door refrigerator and a dishwasher) and a peninsula breakfast bar for four. An additional kitchenette - with a refrigerator and a microwave - awaits downstairs in the family room.
You'll be able to spend your days or nights swimming in the outdoor pool, soaking in the hot tub, rinsing off in the outdoor shower, and manning the gas grill for barbecues on the terrace. Cap your evenings with DVD, Blu-ray, or Netflix favorites before retiring to one of the four bedrooms, each of which has blissful air conditioning for a restful night's sleep.

This place suited wonderfully - good location, good price, and the pool and hot tub were just awesome! We had read a few reviews that the place was really hot in the LR and that proved to be quite true! Be prepared for that. But we didn’t care, we had some older adults who didn’t like climbing stairs so the visiting happened on the first floor and that was perfect! The set up is really great - 2 BR 2 Bth upstairs and same downstairs, plus each have a kitchen. (Though first floor no stove). Everything was very clean, but also the house shows wear. If you are looking for really high end snazzy this really isn’t the place, but if you want comfy, convenient, and the fun of a pool and hot tub, this is terrific. We had a great time!!!

Overall a nice home and a good place to stay. A short walk to the beach, and a quick drive to Kailua-Kona. Was a really good location for our Ironman athletes.
Without central air, it does get warm in much of the home by early afternoon, but the bedrooms are able to cool fairly quickly at night with the window air conditions.

Loved this house!! It was close to Magic Sands so the guys could walk there and back for sunset every night, but tucked away enough to where there is zero noise any time if day! The pool was awesome for warm, drizzly evenings when we were exhausted from being up since 6am! There was so much to do and see that it made for great 30 minute trips to hiking, coffee tours, snorkeling, great food-you name it! Each bedroom had AC which was great for comfortable nights but it did get hot during the day in the common rooms since they didn’t have AC. That’s the only complaint, just because there was not much of a breeze when we were there. I would rent this 20 times over and I highly recommend! Also, 2 sets of laundry was incredible! If you want a low maintenance vacation, fun right in your backyard so you don’t feel like your missing out when you have lazy days, tons of space and a real aloha feel-this is it. I could ramble on and on. Thank you for this amazing experience!

The house was amazing and location was amazing.
The kitchen was so amazingly well appointed and had everything we needed even the necessary condiments that you cannot travel with. The pool was absolutely amazing and was a life saver for afternoon swims.
The only comment was that the main living area was incredible hot all the time even with all the fans on.
Totally recommend this house for amazing family stay.

The home was wonderful, a almost perfect place. The caretakers were friendly and helpful. The immediately took care of a problem that needed addressing for us. The kitchen was stocked well with supplies for cooking and plenty of towels to go around. The house was clean when we arrived but in order for us to keep it cleaned we had to run to the store for supplies.
Having a pool there was such a blessing in many ways. The hot tub added a little enjoyment too.
Our one and only complaint, is there was no air conditioning in the main common/living room area. The bedrooms had air conditioning which was awesome, but when we wanted to be together it was way too hot. The beautiful Hawaiian sunshine was beating through the big beautiful windows, so we had to keep the curtains drawn in order to keep some of the heat blocked out. Having to have the curtains drawn kept us from seeing out to the beautiful surrounding trees. The heat especially on the top floor was so uncomfortable we were miserable, even with fans blowing! Cooking made it even hotte, crazy hot! The home really needs central air or at the least a unit in the main area.
Many evenings we retreated to our bedrooms so we can be cool, which nullifies the experience of being together.I would return to this home many times if it had air conditioning, but because it was so hot I would not do it again. But if you don't mind the heat this is an absolutely wonderful place.

The home is very expensive but nice for a group needing 4 bedrooms. The house is comfortable and with decent accommodations The pool is a nice addition. The area is very busy so walking to closest beach (it is very rocky and without much sand) which is a little less than half a mile, must be done carefully. You need a car here.

Nice place for the price I paid. But the rate has 4X since we booked. I don’t feel it’s worth $1300 a night. Few things need work ice maker down stairs doesn’t work, one dryer is missing a handle. Frying pans are all warped and hard to cook on. BBQ could be replaced with one that has even heat. The outshower is only cold not hot. Pool light doesn’t work. Hot tub haha was filthy (got cleaned while we’re there. Great job). But would stay again for 1/4 the price it’s listed at now

A great home for two families! Our kids and grandkids are calling this trip "BEST VACATION EVER". We loved coming back to the private pool after being at the beach all day. Great kitchen accessories to work with.

This house was perfect for our group of seven adults. It is within easy walking distance to the ocean and driving distance to all that the big island has to offer. The four bedrooms and four bathrooms and two kitchens allowed each couple/individual their own space. The bedrooms were cool and beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked for the occasional meal in. The pool and especially the hot tub were a welcomed and refreshing treat at the end of exhausting days. There were a couple minor problems but Joey and Ezra were quick to respond. The front door slams loudly and the light outside the front door is not working, but these are minor issues that were reported and I’m sure will be addressed quickly. It would have been nice to have a little package of coffee on hand to get us started for the first morning, as many flights arriving from the mainland, especially the states further east arrive late in the evening. But maybe that’s a Covid thing. Overall, the property was great and would definitely use it again.
