About this property

Kona Lighthouse Hawaii - FAMILY BEACH HOUSE

Note: For dates May 11-25, 2025, special pricing applies - only the upstairs is available for up to 6 guests. (3 brms and 2 baths, full kitchen and living room). The owners will be onsite staying in the studio downstairs. (All other dates available include use of the studio downstairs)

The Kona Lighthouse is centrally located in a peaceful neighborhood along the Gold Coast of the Big Island, a 5-mile scenic, oceanfront drive between the towns of Kailua-Kona and Keauhou-Kona. —- Ideal for family and small group vacations. A block from White Sands Beach and across the street from the ocean. Enjoy the private lap pool in a lush tropical garden setting. Open & airy home (approx. 2400 sf) with three lanais (decks) each with ocean views. Enjoy cool ocean breezes flowing through the house night and day. Air conditioning in every bedroom, including the studio.

Note that there is an onsite caretaker who lives in an attached apartment on the ground level. There is a designated smoking area outside of her apartment. - If you are sensitive to cigarette smoke, we encourage you to please let us know. She is happy to make adjustments to move that smoking area further away to assure your comfort.
Also, if you have a late-evening departing flight, we highly recommend booking an extra night. - We are not often able to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs due to guests coming and going on same day and the need for time to clean between guests (big house, lots to clean!). And we are often not able to store luggage past check out time. If you book an extra night, it will allow you the freedom to come and go as you like without having to haul around luggage everywhere you go until your evening flight - and you'll get to really enjoy that last day on the island before heading home!.

Spacious & well Equiped

We had the best time at this home. It was very well equipped and so comfortable with plenty of space. We loved sitting outside and watching the incredible sunsets while having dinner. Wandering down to the beach for dawn swims in the surf. We had big cook ups to feed our party of 8 people. Terry onsite host was ever so helpful & just lovely. Thank you Lynda & Terry. We will love to stay again if we return.

Whales were outstanding

My wife and stayed here with our two kids and their spouses. Had a great time. Home is centrally located to any tours scheduled and close to some awesome restaurants and shopping. The owner was extremely accommodating to our late night flight. Whales and dolphins were visible off shore from the upper Lanai.

Family time

The house is in a great location. Lots of room to spread out. There were 7 of us. I will miss the sunsets from the balcony or across the road at the beach. We were lucky enough to see and hear the high surf. Beautiful.

Great Place for Families

This accommodated our family well; we were three generations (baby, 3 yr. old, teenager, 30-somethings and one senior). Everything we needed for a family that likes to cook was there. Plenty of paper products and a plethora of bathroom and beach towels! The garage had a supply of beach toys such as boogie boards, beach shoes, toys and even a wagon to haul it in. Such a roomy home with a wonderful deck from which we could watch surfers and enjoy the sound of the surf. Happy, happy memories.

Kona Lighthouse worked great for our family of 8!

Our hosts were very gracious to allow us to change our booking to come one day earlier (on Christmas Day) as flights were much cheaper to fly on Christmas. We stayed for 9 days and thoroughly enjoyed our home and the Big Island. The Kona Lighthouse is about 10 minutes south of Kona and only about 4 miles. Target, Walmart and Safeway are also about 10 minutes from the home. We stayed with our family of eight. We needed 4 bedrooms and 2 beds in at least one bedroom and Kona Lighthouse had this. You get a great view of the ocean from the balcony and kitchen area and can hear the waves crashing from the house. We didn't watch much tv, but we did watch our Minnesota Vikings and a couple of College Bowl games on their cable tv.The house had a lot of chairs inside and outside which helped our large family. The pool area is very nice and there were chairs that we could also bring to the beach in the garage. We grilled and had ample kitchen space to prepare many meals. Our 9 days went so fast as there is so much to do on the Big Island. Our hosts suggested Hapuna Beach and we spent our last day in the sun on that beautiful beach. I highly recommend Kona Lighthouse!!

Awesome Family Vacation Home

Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Did a lot of family cooking and grilling. 3 bathrooms, one with a grotto shower on the lower level. Grandsons loved it. Laundry worked great. Enough parking for 2 cars at least. Pool and beach toys with a wagon to haul them all. Beach is 2 blocks away. Plenty of beach towels. Onsite caretaker was wonderful. Not the Four Seasons, but very comfortable. Great place for 3 generations to enjoy Kona.

Wish I could have stayed longer

The grounds were beautiful with a large variety of plants, flowers and trees. A beautiful peaceful view of the ocean from upper lanai. Ample seating inside and outside, we had a group of 7 adults. The location was ideal, we were in Kona as spectators for the 2024 men’s IronMan race so we were only 20 min drive from the event. A short walk to the beach with a restaurant. The kitchen was fully supplied for meal prep. No kitchen table inside but it was fine for us.The ice maker in freezer was not working great but we just bought a bag of ice. Overall, it was an ideal place for us, we loved it! And we would very much enjoy to stay here again! Mahalo!

Reunion by the Beach

Very comfortable home in a beautiful, safe neighborhood for our multigenerational group. Took a hot mug of Kona coffee down to the beach each morning and watched the body surfers catch the waves. Cleaning up at the end of a beach day was easy with the very private, hot shower outside. There was so much to enjoy on the island and the location was perfect for reaching all sites easily. We heartily recommend this property!

Our Family Hawaii Vacation

The property was as presented in the VRBO listing. Everyone was happy with the facility and the ability to make use of extras such as snorkeling equipment and the boogie board. The interior living area was clean and met or exceeded our expectations. The large outdoor deck was used extensively while enjoying the fine weather that we experienced and we particularly enjoyed the view of the ocean. We would seriously consider returning to this property if we returned to Kona. A great home base for our multi-generational family gathering.

Great place for a family!

The house worked out wonderfully for a family of 4 adults and 4 kids. The house was much nicer in person than in the pictures and it was very comfortable to call home for a week or so. The view is amazing. The pool was great for the kids when we were not at the beach. We would definitely recommend this home for your vacation.

Our second visit

We love this place. It’s comfortable and welcoming. It’s spacious enough for our group of eight to gather in the living room and for people to have a little privacy and time alone when they want it. The pool is wonderful, the view is spectacular, and the ocean is so close you can hear the waves crashing. We watched the sunrise from the deck most mornings, and sat outside at nights under the starry sky. We walked around the lovely neighborhood every morning and we walked to the beach as well. It’s an easy drive into town, yet it’s quiet especially at night. We hope to be back in December 2023 for a third annual visit. The owners clearly care about the house and property and guests, and the caretaker is absolutely excellent. Mahalo!

Fantastic Location and House

Lynda and Terry are my new favorite people. Due to my own mistake, I arrived to Kona a day early and when I phoned Terry, she said, thankfully, the house was vacant and she'd make sure it was ready for us. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Terry, who was so kind and helpful. Lynda phoned us to make sure everything was squared away. The pictures don't do the house justice. It was spotless, with plenty of towels, extra pillows, etc to meet our needs. Before you rent any gear, check what the house has, as we were able to avoid renting boogie boards, snorkel gear, etc.. Easy walk to the beach, exactly what we need as a family. And the AC kept us comfy at night. Mahalo for opening your beautiful home! We had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Lynda Jeffcoat

Host profile image
Craig and Lynda are happy to be the new owners of the Kona Lighthouse (as of March 2021)! As frequent visitors to Hawaii, we finally decided to find our own place in paradise! Craig is a surfer, and avid beach-goer. Lynda also loves the water and the wildlife. Hanging out at the beach, hiking, and exploring the island brings us peace and relaxation. We hope you are able to experience this for yourself, too.

Why they chose this property

The property is located literally a block from the ocean. It is an easy walk to Magic Sands Beach, one of the best beaches on the island. The house is large, open and airy offering plenty of space to spread out. It has a true beach-house vibe. The house has a main upper floor with 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. The lower portion of the house is a separate studio with an additional queen and twin bed. If you want to just relax and enjoy the view while the kids play in the private pool, this is the place for you!
Note: There are lots of stairs - so beware. If you are not able to navigate stairs well, this may not be the property for you.
Terry is your onsite property contact - she lives in the apartment that is connected to the house on the lower level, and is available for any questions or concerns.
The beach is calling....and there is no better place than Hawaii to relax and get away from it all!

What makes this property unique

Lots of beach and pool toys, including beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkels and masks, coolers, etc. Short walk to beach. Plenty of parking space (2 cars in driveway, and some street parking, if needed). Centrally located along the Kona coast, the perfect spot to use as a base for island exploration. Tropical surroundings. Close to town and all the amenities, shopping, restaurants, etc.
