Good location

Our family enjoyed their stay . The beds are comfortable. We walked to the beach but couldn’t swim because of high surf and no sand. Close to Kona with lots of shops and restaurants.

Great stay in great location

Hi, this was a great air bnb for our family. Very clean, nice kitchen to cook in, excellent AC, easy parking, and very close walk to Magic Sands beach where you can watch beautiful big waves. While Magic Sands isn't the best beach for kids, it was an easy drive into town and to many great kid friendly beaches. We appreciated the booster seat and Pack N Play for our toddler. The owner was easy to communicate with and replaced something quickly when it broke. We are looking forward to staying here again!

Perfect setting

We came to cheer on our son at Ironman. It was a very convenient spot for the race and to stay out of the melee of the event. The home was private, quiet, and very clean, had all cooking equipment for a large or small dinner. Get up with the birds. Easy, "secret" walk to the beautiful beach around the corner; faster to walk than to drive. Highly recommended.

Nice, clean, well-appointed property with an unbeatable location. The owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with. There is plenty of beach gear to use, and the outdoor shower has hot water! I can't say enough nice things about this property. I would definitely stay there again.

Perfect house and great location

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We had our own personal code to enter the house, which is always a plus for security. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The location was within walking distance to the beach and a great location for a short drive to shopping and restaurants. We loved how detailed the labels were in the house. The host was super accommodating and communicated quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay

Property was in good shape,plenty of room for our party of seven to spread out. Magic sands was lacking sand during our week, but not much you can do about mother nature. It was still a nice place to watch the sunset from. Would definitely recommend.

Great Location

The location was fantastic and the house was very clean. It had everything you would need for a long stay. The owner was so nice and communicated with me fast. The knob on the dryer broke and he let me know he had ordered the part and fixed it before the end of our visit. It was a 3 minute walk to Magic Sands beach. Greatness!

Magic Days at Magic Sands

We had a great stay at this property! The cleanliness of the house was appreciated, the beds comfy and best of all it was a good location for all that we wanted to do while on the island. This property manager is also responsive and cooperative. When our trip was extended courtesy of the airlines, he worked with us to be able to stay the extra day.

Host was wonderful and responded to our needs immediately, when we had a minor issue with stove. Very helpful and was only a quick flip of a switch to correct problem. He even called back to check our issue was resolved and if we might need anything else. Great location, close to water and peaceful neighborhood. Would stay here again.

Perfect Location for a Family Trip

Great house, even better than the photos! Clean and well appointed. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Easy 3 block walk to a beautiful beach, covered parking, and communication with Hal was excellent. We travelled with a <1 yr old, and he was able to use the High chair and pack'n'play, much appreciated! The only small issue was it was a bit confusing as to where the door code was the first day, but the upstairs neighbors showed us.

Disappointing beach, but nice house

Magic Sands Beach was very small and rocky. House was very clean and comfortable, but we were rationed with 4 total rolls of toilet paper and 3 ounces each of shampoo and conditioner. Seven laundry pods and less than 10 dishwasher pods were provided for 8 days. We bought more amenities, but had to travel around the island to get them. Just inconvenient…

Comfy and convenient

Our stay was perfect for our needs. The house was in a quiet neighborhood and very easy to get to the airport, beaches, and everywhere else we needed to go. Three bedrooms and 1 bath was perfect for our family of 5. There was a twin bed left empty so more vacationers would fit. We used the kitchen to cut costs by eating in at night. It was stocked with a lot of the basics (spices, etc) which was nice. Overall, a great part of our week's vacation.

Very Nice

This place was great for 6 of us. 3 different couples.. everything aside from food was provided and plenty of extra towels and water toys. We didn't read in the listing that this was a duplex and was worried after receiving our check in instructions. However, you could barely tell there's someone/people up there and we didn't receive any complaints on our end! Thank you!

Pure Bliss

We loved our stay for a week at this property. The price, location, and quality of the property were excellent. The property was clean and well stocked for our needs. It was walking distance to Magic Sands beach for morning strolls and sunsets and close to Magic’s restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious meal. The owner also worked with us and was flexible and accommodating when we needed to store our luggage before heading to the airport on the day we departed. The owner communicated regularly and was very accessible by phone/email. The property does have tenants who rent above the property so it was important to keep the noise level low after 9pm but, for the most part, this worked for us who were traveling with youth and elderly. The only downside to that was being there during New Years Eve when we wanted to set off fireworks with others in the neighborhood, the upstairs tenants complained and so we had to join others in this Hawaiian tradition further down the street. That was the only unfortunate part. It would have been nice if they were willing to make an exception considering it was a special day and the following day was a Sunday when most businesses were closed and people were off work anyway in honor of January 1st and the New Year.

About the host

Hosted by Owner / Manager

Host profile image
Aloha! We fell in love with the Big Island the first time we visited in 2010. We love being in the Big Island and spending the day at one of the numerous beautiful beaches, swimming with turtles, snorkeling in tidepools, hiking to see lava flows to name a few. We decided to make a home here so we can enjoy life in paradise with our children and friends and share it with others.

Why they chose this property

We love that this home is a 3 min walk from Magic Sands Beach and in a great location just 1.5 miles south of downtown Kona. Just 1 mile north of Kahaluu Beach park which is popular for snorkeling! We love that the house does not have any steps so that we can share this home with people of all ages!
