About this property

Kona Lighthouse Hawaii - FAMILY BEACH HOUSE

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 an amazing ocean view. 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. you may see her in the early morning cleaning the pool and the grounds.

Tip... 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!

This VRBO was perfect for our 3 family, first time in Hawaii vacation. In a quiet residential neighborhood, close to a beautiful beach, our large and open ‘home’ had all the amenities we could possibly need and more. Lynda and Jeff along with Terry were great hosts answering questions within minutes. Eating on the balcony and watching the sunsets were our favorite time of the day. Highly recommend a stay here.

This property is perfect in every way. Incredible location with all the amenities. Check in was smooth and seamless. The house was well stocked with everything you need for a extended or short stay. We used the downstairs unit as a pool cabana which worked out perfect for our family of 4. A/C in all the bedrooms made sleeping very comfortable. We highly recommend this unit and hopefully will return next year. Thank you Lynda and Craig for the wonderful vacation.Mahalo

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.

Lite house was Right house for 6 adults and two toddlers!

Easy check-in process and a very accommodating property. Location was great for access to all activities on Kona side. Lots of pool toys and plenty of items were available for beach and snorkeling. Thank you for the high chair! That was an unexpected plus and we used it everyday! AC was a great plus for relaxed sleep. Fully equipped kitchen made it easy to keep a flexible schedule. Glad Terry was on property - she was delightful and offered information about local events.

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.

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!

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.

Pool was such a nice alternative to have when the children didnt want to do the beach. Internet connection was great for the whole family.

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.

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.
