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. Our STVR#: STVR-19-368864; NUCR-20-2007

Had a great time! Great location across from the water. We enjoyed watching the surfers. Busy road. The house is spacious and we used the beach chairs and snorkeling gear. The kids loved the pool. AC was not working in the game room which was where the evenings were spent. We were unhappy with the pillows and linens on the beds. Sheets were worn and pillows very worn out. The house has everything needed for a large family vacation. Mahalo

The place was clean and offered plenty of space. The kitchen was well-stocked, but the main house oven was not working, though there was one in the attached in-law suite, which was still inconvenient. The oven was fixed 2 days prior to departure. As a party of eight instead of nine, the size was perfect. It did show some wear and could use a thorough cleaning and trim work painted. The location was great, and we had no trouble with the driveways. Just pull out slow visabilty is blocked a little by folliage.
This home was perfect for our family vacation with our grown children and their children. Each family had a separate space to relax and we all could gather together around the pool and watch the sun set. The location was convenient for all the snorkeling and beach activities and there were plenty of pool toys for the kids to enjoy. While this is on a busy road, that didn’t bother us at all. The only negative is that there are a lot of stairs - for someone with mobility issues, that may be a problem.
The property was very clean and spacious! The kitchen was well stocked for us. The pool area and grill was a nice place for us to hangout! Great location for the Kona area!!The host and property manager were very helpful and responded to our questions very quickly! We had a great time and would definitely stay at this property again!
Had an amazing stay here. Great home and location. It was a very smooth check in and the owners were very helpful with recommendations. Would love to come back!
The kitchen was great! The view couldn’t be better!The beds were so comfortable! Really a beautiful property worked out perfect for the 14 of us! I would recommend the property. Surfing right across the street.
Our family of seven enjoyed our stay at Makani Kai. The property is huge . . . allowing for multiple families to stay and spread out. You won't be lacking for any amenities when you stay here, either. We truly couldn't believe the amount of staples that were supplied. No need to run to the store when you stay here . . . they have thought of everything! The home is also very clean and our host was great in communicating well in advance check-in information and suggestions for activities on the island. : )
Exactly what we hoped for. Great location, spectacular views, lots of space and amenities for a large group of people of all ages. Would loved to have stayed longer.
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.
Our entire family celebrated our anniversary here and loved it! Plenty of room for four families, nice pool and fantastic views! Traffic was a little busy/noisy, but not bad and settled down in the evening. Overall a wonderful time and place to celebrate!
Great location and setup for large extended family providing space and all the amenities necessary for a week. Access and location was great for beaches and shopping. We all had a great time!
This property did not disappoint! It is a beautiful space for a large family or a couple families wanting to share common areas. We absolutely loved this property and will highly recommend it and rent it again!
This was an amazing layout for families to enjoy a holiday together. Our family enjoyed the pool, games room, and patio. So glad we chose it and owner Ken was very responsive to our needs.
The home was really comfortable and quiet. The bedrooms were spaced out so that the baby didn’t wake anyone but mom and dad! The pool was great especially for the kids. We we able to go to sites both north and south easily - and we could even walk to a great beach. Everyone loved the place.
The house provided private bedrooms along with numerous outcoves for additional privacy or small group activities. Location was convenient for all our activities and less then 2 hrs
We had a family of ten adults all stay comfortably with plenty of privacy. The location was fantastic and the house was well stocked with amenities. Definitely happy with our choice!
Our family had such a great time. Our kids and grandkid first time in Hawaii and we’re so happy. The pool and location was the best. The separate areas for checking out was amazing.
Thank you for such a wonderful stay.
Plenty of room, nicely stocked kitchen. Beautiful pool, plenty of outdoor seating and awesome sunsets. Owner was very prompt in having bedroom air conditioner fixed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
