Perfect Location and Home

We stayed 8 nights and were able to relax and enjoy the birds every morning and it was only a 5 minute walk to Magic Sands Beach. The property management team was very communicative and helpful. If you want a place to stay to relax, this is your place.

Fantastic place

The place is fantastic, including all the amenities which meant we did not have to rent snorkeling gear or chairs for the beach. The house is very nice and clean. Great porch to sit and have coffee each morning. Great location. Would greatly recommend to both couples and families to stay.

Perfect home for a family get away!

We'll definitely be looking to rent this wonderful home again if ever back on the island! It had everything we needed and you couldn't beat the location. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the third bedroom now has two twin beds instead of a pull out couch. All in all, we were very happy with our booking!

Wonderful spot

We had a wonderful time during our stay here. The home was incredibly clean and the perfect set up for our family of five. We used the kitchen a lot to cook, especially breakfast and dinner. There were lots of supplies for beach days, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, even a wagon. The location was very convenient and made exploring the Kona coast so easy.
