About this property

Gorgeous Ocean Front 5 Bedroom With Pool, AC, Game Room and Sleeps 14

We have named our home Makani Kai which means "ocean breeze" where you can come to relax, watch the waves and let your stress melt away. In our opinion, the house is in one of the most beautiful locations on the island. Situated on the world famous Lyman's surf break, you can watch the surf and surfers ride the waves from almost every room and bedroom in the house. Guests have described our home as feeling that they've rented their own private resort on the island.
At over 5,000 square feet Makani Kai is one of the largest vacation rentals on the island. The house boasts 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, with multiple kitchens, 3 separate living rooms and a large game room with a pool table, foosball table and ping pong table. We also have a cornhole board and other board games. This makes the house perfect for extended family and/or multi-family rentals where guests still want to have their own quiet space within the house.
Three of the bedrooms have king sized beds. One bedroom has a queen sized bed and one has a double bed. There is also a double bed sized futon couch, queen sized fixed couch and several portable twin sized beds. 4 of the bedrooms have their own bathroom. Each bedroom has an air conditioner that can be separately adjusted to the desired temperature of the guest in that room.
There are three sets of washers and dryers in the house for your convenience. The swimming pool is situated on the ocean side of the house so you can enjoy the pool and watch the waves and sunset from the pool deck. The pool deck area is elevated so that the ocean view is enhanced.
The house is situated approximately 1/2 a mile north of Magic Sands Beach, which is considered to the the best sandy beach in town. One of the top snorkeling locations on the island, Kahaluu Bay is just 1 mile South of the house. The house is located on Alii Drive approximately 1.5 miles South of the main downtown Kailua-Kona area and roughly 1.5 miles North of Keauhou Bay. Alii Drive is the main ocean front road between downtown Kona and Keauhou Bay. The road is well traveled with significant noise. If you are from a quiet neighborhood you will notice it, while if you are from the city maybe less so. In our opinion, the stunning ocean views are a worthy tradeoff.
The back and the sides of the house are surrounded by forest reserve land so your only "close" neighbors are across the street to the left. In the rear of the house there is a large separate patio area that adds to the space of the house and creates a separate quiet area. The front of the house is separated from the ocean by Alii Drive.
The game room has a pool table, foosball table, wet bar and various board games for the family to enjoy.
There are gated parking areas on both the North and South end of the property that comfortably park 3 vehicles. There is also ample street parking.
In the garage there are boogie boards, surfboards, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and various beach toys for guest use.
From the main kitchen you can watch the waves while cooking or making fruity island drinks to enjoy by the pool. Surrounding the pool are multiple lounge chairs, tables and a bbq for guest use. With 8 televisions and internet in the house there is ample different electronic entertainment options for a large group, including kids.

The home was wonderful! We enjoyed watching surfers from our deck, tidal pool across the street with so much life. The house was well stocked, a place for everyone with lots of games etc. We were welcomed with a huge fruit basket. Beaches very close and several great farmers markets. Sooo many beach toys, and we spent a lot of time in the pool! A+

Best Birthday Celebration, ever!

Very nice location! All eight of us had a great time! The location with beautiful views, plenty of spaces if you want some privacy, and the private pool all helped for us to enjoy our trip to Hawaii. Only suggestion would be an investment in some new mattresses. Some are starting to be very uncomfortable for sleeping but not a deal breaker!

Luxury in Paradise

Absolutely met and exceeded expectations. Welcoming, spacious, and comfortable are accurate words to describe this property. The fruit arrangement was a pleasant surprise. There was plenty of room for our extended family and friends. However, the main gate did not close, and was unable to close. This could be considered a necessity for a family with children.

Anniversary trip

One word, Spectacular! This was our 40th anniversary, and our first trip to Hawaii and we couldn't have asked for a better place to experience the island. The house was well appointed with everything needed to cook meals and needed nothing! The house was very clean and comfortable for all 10 of us with only minor issues, ( a/c in game room wasn't working) but the repairman was on it! My wife is already complaining that we didn't stay long enough (7 day's) so we'll be going back soon and we'll surely stay here again!

Above and beyond.

This property is as beautiful as the listing photos portray. The contact with the owners was seamless and extremely prompt. The housekeeping staff, led by Marissa was exceptional. Her positive personality and love of the island made us confident in our choice of place to holiday. She is priceless to the value of this property. The pool was maintained professionally 2x per week during our stay. The location is the best by far, access to downtown and to the many beaches around Kailua-Kona. We highly recommend to anyone looking for an above average place to call home while on the Big Island.

Love this house! We maxed it out with our extended family that included six children. It has a lot of advantages for folks like us, as it offers multiple suites, two kitchens, a game room, and lots of space in which to spread out. The pool is the focal point with its wonderful view of the ocean and Hawaii’s glorious sunsets. The pool is heated in the same way the ocean is –by the sun. But the water temperature was fine for us. The on-island host was very responsive to our several questions and requests and was wonderful to work with. There was ample off-street parking for our four rental vehicles. We would gladly consider coming again.A word about encounters with “Hawaiian Natives,” as several have commented on these recently: The house is wonderfully situated right across the street from the ocean and bordered on the other three sides by wooded open space. On the plus side, you have a lot of privacy and minimal disturbance from party animals (the human kind). On the other hand, natives of the woods will have a natural propensity to wander over and check out the house. The owners, for their part, do a great job with aggressive pest control management. As the house is fully air-conditioned, we kept it closed up and the AC on. We kept the kitchen clean and ensured that no trash became an attractant. As a result, we had minimal interactions with any unwanted natives. Remember that the occasional gecko is your friend. They don’t bother humans, but they do eat in

Our family of 11 adults had a tremendous and memorable time at this 5 bedroom house. The house was very spacious and had great views of the ocean. The grill by the pool was clean, well-maintained, and plenty big for us to grill Hawaiian Chicken one night. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. No issues with wifi or TV. There was snorkeling equipment in the garage which was great when we went to Capt Cook's Monument. The A/C units worked great with no issues. Bottom line...our family of 11 had a blast on the Big Island and this house was a big part of why we had just a great time.

This is a large house that is great for families. We had 11 family members and there was room for all. We enjoyed the large kitchen, very well equipped and used the barbecue on the deck. Our grandchildren enjoyed the pool and the game room. Location was a little busy for walking but there are lots of small shops, outdoor markets and eating places easy to walk to.

Property showing age!

The property in all was great but the hideous and atrocious invasion of gnats was inexcusable. Thousands everyday especially in apartment attachment bathroom. Pool lights not working and fire alarm replaced. Also replaced were three lounge chairs. Outdoor environment very poor. In need of a gardener to trim dead leaves etc from plants, general clean up outside of dead leaves. The tiles are in horrible shape. It seems like the place is really starting to show its age. Barbecue will hardly work. Stucco coming off walls, etc. BUT , all in all we had a great time. Would I recommend this place, I probably not.

Would Not Recommend

Let’s start with the Pros: This house is spacious and has a gorgeous view of the ocean. The location was perfect as well due to everything being close and sometimes walkable. (If you don't like to be next to a busy road where cars can be heard zooming and blasting loud music then you might want to choose another house.) The kitchen had ample dishes and supplies and was spacious. Cons: There are a lot of bugs and creepy-crawlies in the house in general. We made sure to keep our luggage closed and it was a little bit unnerving. We saw huge spiders, big roaches, geckos, and flying termites. I yelled a couple times as there was a roach crawling through a kitchen drawer, and again when I saw one running across the bathroom sink as I was brushing my teeth. One of the rooms had a lot of termites (this was confirmed by the co-owner (Jeff) who came to assess). The person who stayed in that room couldn’t place her bags on the floor due to the number of dead termites we sprayed. We also noticed that both skylights were leaking when it rained hard. (We were not aware of this prior to booking.) The termites had gotten so bad in that room that we were advised by the property manager to move out that room so she could spray, and they would also call Terminix in the next day. We also had a few small issues where TVs didn’t work, light bulbs were blown, and there was a broken piece of wood on the staircase. Overall, if I did come back to Hawaii I would NOT stay in this house again.

Hawaiian Vacation March 2025

The property and house were amazing. The location is great. The morning sunrises and evening sunsets were spectacular. You could hear the oceans waves from all of the lanai’s and the pool deck. There are some indigenous bugs that inhabit the house like ants and Cane spiders. That was a little unnerving and took some getting use to for all of us. All the air conditioners work extremely well in each room. However, one of the smaller rooms upstairs that has a washer and dryer in it does get warm when they are in use. The property is well maintained and is really an incredible place to stay. We would stay at this location again, especially if the eight of us, or more, ever made our way back the Kona. The only downside to this property, other than the ants and spiders, the property management requires you to wash all the towels, including the beach towels. We found this to be very unpractical. Having to do this meant we could not shower at 3:00 in the morning before our flight home. That was disappointing. Overall, a great place for family and friends to enjoy Hawaii!

Roomy, lots of amenities and lots of bugs and critters

The house is really large and had plenty of room for multiple families to have their own space. Lots of fun activities with pool, pool table, goose ball, ping pong, board games and lots of TVs. It’s in a great location- super easy access to downtown Kona, shopping, restaurants and snorkeling. The beds were comfortable and we really liked having our own bathrooms except for the upstairs double bed room- they had to go downstairs near the kitchen to use the hall bathroom at night. The view from the upstairs bedroom balcony was spectacular!!On the downside- even keeping all doors and windows closed there were quite a lot of bugs- lots of termites and cockroaches and a few of the biggest, fastest spiders I’ve ever seen. We were all a little wigged out from the bugs and spiders. I wish the pool was heated as it’s a bit chilly and never really warmed up. Suggestions: I wish there was a hot tub.The floors were really dirty- everyone’s feet were black from walking around just a little bit on the floors. The creepy crawlies made it a little tough for anyone to feel like laying out or relaxing on the patio. More seating in the main living room where everyone could sit in the room to watch TV- or bean bags , or other things to sit on. Half our group had to sit in kitchen chairs. Trim the hedges so you can sit on the patio and see the beach. Put a TV in south bedroom. Get rid of the termites- we probably killed 100-200 over the week.
