Beautiful Ocean Views 5 Bedroom Sleeps 14 Walk to Beach, Pool, AC, & Game room

The "Akai Beach House" is a beautiful 5 bedroom 4 bath home that sleeps 14 with ocean views, a pool, air conditioning and a large game room in the garage. Enjoy ping pong and foosball, or relax on the couch and watch TV in the game room. Magic Sands Beach - the best sandy beach in Kona - is an easy 5 minute walk from home offering swimming, sunbathing, boogie boarding and beach volleyball. (Note: Magic Sands Beach gets it's name from the fact that if there are large storms/waves the sand may disappear from time to time and then comes back.) The home has two full kitchens, one upstairs and one downstairs with two separate living rooms. It is like renting a full 3 bedroom and another full 2 bedroom house.
Perfect for multi-family and/or a multi-generational stay. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen and living room. Downstairs, there are 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen and living room. There is a washer/dryer both upstairs and downstairs. 4 bedrooms have spacious California King sized beds and one has a queen. Additionally, there are two double/queen sized futon couches in the upstairs living room. Further, we offer several padded cots for guests to use throughout the home. Great ocean views and sunsets from the upstairs living room, dining room, bedrooms and pool. Watch the sunset while lounging around the pool! Pool has a nice deck area with a bbq for family cookouts. Great snorkeling and surfing are only a half mile away at Kahaluu Bay, just south of our home. Vast shopping and dining options are only 2 miles away at downtown Kailua-Kona to the North and 1.5 miles from the Keauhou Shopping center to the South. Accordingly, you can quickly access grocery stores and places to eat. You also can walk to Magics Grill (at Magic Sands Beach) for cocktails and dinner, with amazing ocean views. The house has ample parking and is located on a quiet street. We have plenty of beach toys such as boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, and a wagon etc... for guests to enjoy. The house was remodeled in October 2022 with new flooring, AC, interior paint and many new furnishings.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a private pool and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.

Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Family Vacation
Overall the vacation was amazing....the house, the location and everything in-between.When I began searching for a vacation home for our family of nine, I encountered some challenges. Initially, I attempted to book a smaller home, believing it would suffice. However, due to Hawaii laws, I was informed that I needed to book a home that could accommodate all nine of us. After continued searching, I discovered the Beautiful Ocean Views 5 Bedroom Sleeps 14 home and proceeded with the booking.Upon reviewing the charges, I noticed a 500 USD (over 700 Canadian) fee for an additional guest, despite booking for only nine guests in a property that accommodates up to fourteen. The property details did not indicate any fees for more than eight guests, which I found misleading. I believe such information should be clearly included in the property details.After contacting the host, I received the following response:Our house, like most in the Kona area, has a base rate that applies for up to 8 guests. After that, we have an extra guest fee of 50/night per guest over 8 with a maximum of 14. That amount was listed in the quote you reviewed prior to when you requested to book.While I understand and respect local laws, I maintain that this crucial detail should have been explicitly stated in the property description.Regards,

Hawaii Getaway
My family (7 total) and I booked this house for a family beach vacation. The home was absolutely perfect for our needs. The owners are very responsive. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. The home is stocked with anything you would need (outside of food). There were extra pillows and blankets, tons of beach accessories, coolers, chairs, etc. We all loved this rental and would absolutely stay here again if given the chance. You will not request this stay! The only advice is if you are booking this for the beach just know that in the winter there isn’t a lot of sand at the beach. It wasn’t a deal breaker for us as there are a lot of little coves to snorkel in around the town.

Thanksgiving in Kona
We were a group of nine staying at the property over Thanksgiving. One daughter and our three grandsons occupied the lower space, which provided them (and us) a nice separation. We gathered for meals and games in the upper living space. The pool was a huge hit with the boys. ( and adults). We made several walks to Magic Sand Beach and drove to a few other favorite Kona beaches. We all had a great time and the house worked perfect for us.

Pleasant vacation stay
We enjoyed our first time in the big island with our family of 8. We enjoyed the large space here. There were plenty of furniture to accommodate everyone. It was a plus having 3 bedrooms with its own bathroom. Occasionally we were welcomed by little geckos which our toddler loved to look at. The outdoor space is beautiful and our family got to enjoy the pool and hang out at the poolside. It was convenient two kitchens and washers and dryers on both the first and second level. We were overall pleased with our stay here.

House worked great
This house was great for me and my family of 11. You need to be aware that there are no indoor steps that go to the basement, you have to go outside for that, but it's very easy to do and it actually worked great for our family of six to stay down there and the rest of us were in the bedrooms upstairs and we all use the same kitchen upstairs. That was the only thing I wish I would've seen in the description before my rental. The washer on the first floor did not work and he said twice someone was coming and they did not show up so we were without a washer on the first floor all week, which was kind of discouraging with 11 people. Other than that, it was an excellent location. The house was very nice, the pool was fabulous and worked out well. The grill was nice clean and ready to use, and I would definitely rent this house again.

Spacious Serenity: A Great Option Close to the Beach
From the moment we stepped into this property, we were greeted with ample space and comfort. The description was spot on - every inch of this home felt carefully designed to accommodate our family of eight. With plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, everyone had their own sanctuary. The living areas were expansive and beautifully furnished, perfect for gatherings and quality time together. We were impressed by the array of amenities provided - from the well-equipped kitchen to the entertainment options, there was something for everyone. Our stay was wonderful.

Perfect Family Getaway House
Clean, well-stocked, room to relax and room to gather, lots to do and play with…it was the perfect home base for our annual multi-generational family trip. Question emailed to owner was answered in minutes…very responsive. Stroll to beach was a breeze; could have eaten dinner at Magic Sands Grill every night if there weren’t other options to explore in Kona. Turns out we ordered dinner delivery two nights because we were having so much fun at the house. Thanks for a great vacation.

perfect location and beautiful home
Everything about this property is perfect ! We had a large family reunion on the Big Island and this location could not be better. The property is gorgeous and the location is superb. However we had a little problem figuring out which bedrooms to divide between us because of the teenagers and young children. The property has no internal stairs so you have to exit by the deck and go upstairs to main level. This was a little problematic to our group so we put the young kids in the upstairs (main) level on the comfortable futon beds. Other than that small problem the place is spectacular! Plenty of games, beach toys and snorkel gear, ping pong, etc. You will enjoy your stay I promise !

Fabulous 50th Anniversary
Our family of 10 (2 grandparents and 2 families of 4) stayed in this beautiful home to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The house, with its fully equipped upstairs and downstairs living spaces, accommodated everyone beautifully. The kitchen and large dining table upstairs has plenty of seating for 10 or more. We spent lots of time on the deck with its beautiful view, and made good use of the private swimming pool. The recreation room in the garage was great entertainment for our grandkids, and also had beach chairs, beach toys, and boogie boards that we used when visiting various Big Island beaches. This was a dream vacation for us- thank you so much!
