About this property

Stunning Estate Property In Gated Community Steps From The Ocean

Welcome to our 5 star rated vacation home. We call our home Forever Sunsets because with just a short walk to the water in our gated community you can watch the sunset every night. You are also a short 600 yard walk to Magic Sands Beach, the most popular sandy beach in Kailua-Kona. As you are centrally located the home is a little over a mile to downtown Kona and all the shops and restaurants and roughly a mile from the Keauhou Shopping Center and bars and restaurants there. The house has been a vacation rental for a number of years with the prior owners receiving over 25 Five Star Reviews! The house has air conditioning, high ceilings, gourmet kitchen and large patio area next to a plunge pool perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach. We also have a ping pong table, bocce ball and corn hole boards for the active family. When you enter the house it has the "wow factor" as you are treated to a large open concept living room, kitchen and dining room area that is tastefully decorated with custom art and furniture pieces. There is also one bedroom off the main entrance with a king sized bed that can also be used as a separate media room if you want a space to let the kids watch their shows while the adults socialize in the main downstairs living area or outdoors. Upstairs off the main living room is a very large master bedroom with a king sized bed and covered lanai (porch) with an ocean view. The master has an amazing attached bathroom. There is also a small twin sized settee in the room that can come in handy if you have a younger one that wants to sleep closer to mom and dad but not in bed with them. The northern wing of the house has another large downstairs master bedroom with a king sized bed and generous bathroom and walk-in closet. The upstairs of the northern wing of the house has another master bedroom with a queen sized bed and bathroom and second bedroom that has two double sized beds and a bathroom. The house is designed for all the guests to be spread out and to maximize privacy with the bedrooms separated out between the different wings of the house. In all, the house has 3 bedrooms with king sized beds, one bedroom with a queen sized bed, one bedroom with double beds, a twin sized settee, a twin sized bed, several padded cots and a pull out couch in the main living area. As a result, the house can comfortably accommodate 12-14 guests. As we love going to the beach with our family and friends, we've stocked the house with plenty of beach toys such as beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards, beach towels and surf boards in the garage for guest use. The house comes with a washer and dryer, which means you can pack light. We have a bocce ball set at the house that you can play at the beach or on the lawn in the side yard plus there are other board games and toys for guest use. As we have family and kids that use the house, we've tried to make the house feel like you are coming home to live rather than in the typical sterile vacation rental. In addition to being in a gated ocean front community, the house only has a neighbor on one side meaning that it adds to your families privacy while you are staying. Ocean access is by a path from the house to the water approximately 100 yards away where there are tide pools and where you can sit and watch sunsets during your stay. In addition to a plunge pool, the outdoor patio has a large dinner table, chairs, lounges and a bbq for family gatherings. You'll likely choose to eat most of your meals outside on the patio during your stay. STVR-19-377461

Wonderful for a big group

Great house for an extended family vacation with thirteen people aged 5-70. POD style separation of rooms was a surprise but it worked out. House was very well equipped. Hosts responsive when needed. Magic sands beach lovely but wavy for little kids.

Great stay on the Big Island

Nice house in a very small gated community. The layout of the house is a bit unconventional, you have to go outside to access 3 of the bedrooms but they all have their own bathrooms. There were 6 of us and we had plenty of room to spread out. There was pretty much everything you could ever need at the house including 2 washers and dryers. We all enjoyed our time there. I would definitely go back if i ever go back to the big island.

Steve’s experience

The early questions I had about specific needs were quickly answered. Didn’t ask about parking but found out a week before that the driveway parking was for 2 cars at best. There was plenty of spots in the lot across the street but some guests would need to know this?

Beautiful home

Lovely well appointed home in a nice neighborhood walking distance to beach. Comes equipped with everything you would need for a day at the beach. Pictures of the pool are misleading. Not a swimmable pool - only for sitting in. Lovely, helpful concierge.

Family vacation

Great property, 14 of us stayed there. Great location, away from the busyness but close enough if you want to do anything. The “stay” binder was very helpful and I think all the adults looked at it at one time or another. Our only suggestion would be a big frying pan or a griddle. It was hard making eggs for everyone in the small frying pan.

Great family trip

We were a group of 8- my parents, my brothers, two partners. The layout was perfect for us- most of the rooms had their own shower, and the kitchen let us cook most of our meals easily! One of the best stocked kitchens I’ve stayed at! The house also had a lot of the beach supplies necessary to explore,. Would definitely recommend

Paradise

The house easily accommodated our group of 9 comfortably. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was spacious. The set-up of the house allowed each group to have their own space as well as a large living space to be together. The garage has all the beach equipment you need to go to the beach. You are within walking distance of the beach and not far from downtown Kona. I recommend this property.

Gorgeous Home, Great Location!

Gorgeous home within walking distance to the beach. The house can easily accommodate large groups/families and we loved the patio, family room and ping pong table. It was so nice having access to beach chairs, snorkeling gear and anything you would need for a day at the beach. The property manager was very accommodating and easy to work with. We will definitely be back!

Great home with so many extras!!

Beautiful, very comfortable home. Location felt secluded and safe but was convenient for activities, shopping and dining. Garage is full of all the things that make a beach day fun and convenient - boogie boards, beach towels, noodles, water shoes, masks and snorkels, chairs, umbrellas and a big cart to haul it all in. They had a lovely welcome spread of snacks and coffee so you don't have to run straight to the store and enough toiletries to get you started. Dual laundry facilities and a simple check out list even made leaving easier. They get all my stars!

Sunset Delights

Our stay at Forever Sunsets was fabulous! Every amenity you could imagine is already here and waiting to be used. Our host was attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to assure our stay was enjoyable. The house is in a wonderful location that is convenient and walkable to some great beaches. Watching the sunset from the back of the property was fun and entertaining as we were able to observe a sea turtle as well. We hope to return to Forever Sunsets soon.

Multi-generational family getaway

We were a family of 10 with small children, teens and adults. The pool was perfect for the little kids (and teens) - provided hours of playtime and the lanai was a beautiful area for us all to hang out. Lots of beach chairs, beach toys, towels and a cooler for trips to different beaches along the west coast. The bedrooms were plentiful and worked well for the various adult/child configurations. Wonderful family vacation!!

Great house.

Our family stayed here to celebrate our 50th Anniversary that will actually happen in the summer. We had 4 families there, 7 adults and 4 children under age 12. We came from AZ and the rest came from ND. We had a great time. The house was perfect for us, large enough and the kids loved the pool. Each family had their own room in the house and their own privacy. The kitchen was big enough for all of us and we utilized the BBQ a couple of times. We loved walked down to the ocean and watching the sunset. We would gladly rent this house again. It does need all new flooring though.

Great Location for a Family Reunion

The Proparty was beautifully appointed with room enough for our family group of 11 people. It was also well equipped with paper products and towels and linens although the kitchen could have used a larger skillet to cook eggs, etc for a crowd. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and the ping pong table in the garage was very popular with the teenage members of our group.

Our family of 9 immensely enjoyed our stay at the house. The set up was perfect for everyone to have their own space, but the common area was large and accommodative for the times when we lounged together. The amenities were wonderful! It was so nice to already have beach towels, beach chairs, and snorkeling gear available as soon as we arrived. Anne was attentive when communicated with and very helpful. Over all wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

Not up to my expectations

Although the property has good possibilities, there were several problems: The upstairs master air conditioning did not work, and the concierge did not seem to know this when we discussed the problem on the first day. The WiFi was too weak in the remote bedrooms to use the TV, and we racked up extra data charges on the phones. The Bluetooth interface to the stereo system did not work. The information binder included features that did not work, although they were not in the VRBO listing. The gate on the path to the ocean was broken; after a couple days someone came to prop it open. After 3 dinners we gave up on eating outside due to mosquitos.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Caufield

Host profile image
We've had a vacation rental in Kona since 2009 and have added several different rental properties over the years. We love the ocean and live a very active lifestyle.

Why they chose this property

This property has the "wow" factor. The privacy for guests that it offers is terrific. It is very close to everything and yet with the community being gated you have both security and privacy. The short walk to the water allows you to see the tide pools and super sunsets.

What makes this property unique

The patio area is great for good sized groups. With AC and also 4 of the 5 bedrooms have an attached bathroom gives the house plenty of space for the family. The bedrooms are spread out in separate ends of the house so you have a ton of privacy. Only the north upstairs end bedrooms are next to each other.
