The Beach House - Closest House to Magic Sands Beach, Pool, Pickleball Court
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.
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. Itâs 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.
Very comfortable house with so many fun activities at house and just across street. The house had it all and made our family vacation easy and relaxing.
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!
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.
I was extremely happy to see the property was just as advertised and what we wanted. The location was fab just across from the beach, short drive or a medium walk to town. Iâd definitely recommend to my friends and family but hesitant as Iâd also like to keep it a secret. Thanks heaps Jeff for the quick and informative replies.
My daughter and her friends (all age 26+) enjoyed everything about the house. They said it was the easiest checkin they have ever experienced. The house exceeded their expectations on every level! The location was perfect, with the proximity to the beach, bar/restaurant across the street and town. She has already asked if we can rent it again very soon! Thank you for making her pre-wedding vacation beyond her dreams!
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 itâs 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!
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 couldnât 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!
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!
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.
We were a group of 11 friends, some singles some couples. Ages 47-58. We had 2 vans that fit just fine in the driveway. One of our couples got married during our stay and the house worked great for us 6 girls to spend the morning getting ready together. We loved the large island and of course the lanai. Location was great and we felt the beaches were even closer than they looked in the photos. The stairs were no surprise but be aware, they can get to be a lot depending on your fitness level.
For our family, the house location was a dream come true. I could have stayed at the house all day long just watching the waves crash on the shore from the deck. We utilized the beach toys and towels for our beach day, which really simplified packing for us. Ample plugins for all our electronics was also huge! We highly recommend others checking them out and would stay there again if we ever have the chance to head back to the big island again.
Our family loves Hawaii and particularly the Kailua-Kona property. We've had vacation rentals on the island since 2009 and have solid 5 star reviews. We are all beach volleyball players so you'll often see us playing at Magic Sands and/or downtown. We also love the ocean and our whole family have competed in outrigger canoe races.
This property is one of the most iconic houses on Alii Drive. Everyone knows this house. After walking and parking by the house for years when it finally came up for sale we couldn't pass up the opportunity to purchase it. The house is unique in that it is the closest house to Magic Sands Beach and Magics Grill but has no neighbors on either side or behind the house. We are excited to share our love of the island and Magic Sands Beach with our guests.
Location, location, location. The Beach House is the closest rental house to Magic Sands Beach and Magics Grill. You can grab your beach gear and walk about 100+ steps and you are on Magic Sands Beach!
