This nice home was the perfect fit for our family vacation. It was clean and comfortable and well stocked. The kitchen made cooking family meals easy. We made good use of the washer and dryer and all the sports equipment in the garage. It’s location near the belt Road made travel to other parts of the island manageable. We would definitely consider staying in this home again.

Family vacation spot

I visited with a multigenerational family group. It was a very good space for meals, relaxing and there's plenty of bathrooms for everyone. There's a king master suite on the main level, which is good for older folks who don't do stairs well. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms and an upper patio which is good for watching sunset. We loved the beach chairs which was we used often. You can walk to snorkeling spots or the body surfing beach from here. There's a path to get right to magic sands avoiding the road. I would love to come back another year and enjoy this home set in paradise.

Little piece of paradise

The accommodations were everything we were hoping for and more. Location was perfect for the surfers in the family and the beach was amazing for the rest of us to watch them. The property was managed well, by a company that took care of us and were quick to respond when we needed them. 🌺🌴

A great home base for a week

Close to everything. Loved the supplied big bags and chairs to use for the beach in the garage. No stress. Three generations with 4 distinct family units and there were 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms that gave each of us our own space to do our thing, so important when there are so many people/ages/personalities staying together!

Hale a Kai does not disappoint!

We had an incredible time at Hale a Kai. Perfect for families. We made big dinners and enjoyed the yard games and hanging out on the lanai in the evenings. Perfect spot to vacation like a local in comfort and style. Great location, just off the Ali’s, close to beaches, shops, and short drive to just about everything in Kailua Kona. Easy contactless check in and super responsive team. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home and perfect location

This was the perfect place for our group of two families—8 people in total! One of the highlights for us was the hot tub—it made a huge difference after a long day to sit back and unwind. The 4th full bath helped, especially with so many people constantly needing showers after the beach. The entire place was spotless, with clean linens and lots of bath and beach towels. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals for a large group. Proximity to the beach and surfing + snorkeling made it easy for the kids to enjoy the beach whenever they liked. Overall the place had the perfect vibe for a relaxing, hassle-free getaway!

Family anniversary celebration.

So much to say. The kitchen is well stocked - everything you could need is there. Well, we did go to Good Will and got a slow cooker. The entertainmnet supplies and beach equipment was nice. Previous guests didn't always clean up the sand. Hopfuly we left it better than we receied it. Management was quick to assist us when we needed it. This home is well equipped if you're traveling with little children. I definitely would recommend this for a group or family gathering.

Family vacay to celebrate Moms 60th

Very close walk to Magic Sands beach. Lots of beach towels, snorkelling stuff, boogie boards, etc for the beach. We enjoyed our stay! Worked well for 4 couples, everyone had their own space. Suggestions for improvement would be adding another fridge for beverages etc for a group of 7 adults it would have been well used! We made things work but noted this would have improved our experience. We were asked to do several loads of laundry to get the towels started but were only supplied with 2 laundry pods. Information on where to recycling would be helpful. We googled and found a place but info on what to do and where To go would be appreciated ❤️ All in all a wonderful stay and we will be back!

Perfect property

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our family of 7 adults. The whole house was clean. All of the linens (including provided beach towels) bathrooms & kitchen were spotless. The decor was tasteful and the kitchen was stocked with all the utensils, pots, pans, etc. we needed for cooking & grilling. A clean sponge, coffee filters, a few rolls of paper towels, trash bags, dish detergent & dishwasher and laundry pods were provided. Basic travel sized soap, body wash, shampoo & about 1/2 week worth of tp. The a/c in the bedrooms was nice, but the ceiling fans in every room provided relief from the heat. Forget Magic Sands. We found amazing snorkeling at Kahalu’u Beach Park which was a short drive away. I would not hesitate to refer friends to stay here and would choose it again if we went back to the big island.

Very hot and only w/in "walking distance" to Beach if you like to walk a LOT!

The house was NOT what I would call convenient to any beach. You would have to walk quite a distance along a very busy stretch to get to a tiny, overcrowded spot of sand. The house was extremely hot and the window a/c in the bedrooms are on timers - some would only work for 15 minutes at a time - the most for an hour. The "lush" backyard was bereft of any hedges or trees and had clear sightlines to the neighbors next door. There was a hot tub which no one used because it was soooo hot already. It was so uncomfortable, we left a day early.

Group Spring Break

Overall our group (myself, husband, daughter, her 6 college friends) enjoyed our 8-night stay at Hale A Kai in Kona. Our flight arrived very early and we were able to arrange an earlier check-in, which was very appreciated. The property itself is in a very quiet neighborhood, super close to Magic Sands beach, and has a great backyard space. Note - the neighbor does not tolerate ANY noise after quiet hours so if you're in the hot tub, make sure to talk very quietly. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and had all the necessities we'd expect in a rental home.I only had two disappointments with this rental: the living room furniture and the lack of kitchen essentials. For a house this size, boasting a guest count of 10, the living room only seats 4 people. This isn't very fun with a larger group because some have to sit at the dining room table or on the tile floor. The kitchen is understocked with glasses, cutlery, and plates/cookware for a group of 10. I was running the dishwasher after every 2 meals so that we had enough plates and cookware for the next meal. We also bought some essentials like plastic wrap, baggies, kitchen scissors, and such so that we could pack food for when we were out of the house, and left the remainders for those who came after us. I know not everyone cooks on their vacation as much as we did, but we wanted to keep costs down, so having a well-stocked kitchen would have been nice.Overall this was a good house and we loved the location!

Very clean well laid out floor plan. Nice master bedroom downstairs for us old people and 3 nice bedrooms upstairs. Master and one upstairs bedroom had a sofa bed, so property could have easily accommodated 12. Near the airport and shopping. Only negative would be the solar hot water heater. With 9 adults and a baby returning from the beach at the same time, hot water went very quickly. We had to learn to space showers out. There were lots of toys and amenities left in the garage for our use. They were appreciated.

House was exactly how it was described except there is a all house attic fan which helped to cool off a hot house. And a new hot tub which wasn’t in the ad either. We had some plumbing issues also but they addressed it promptly.and had it fixed. All in all our stay with our family was extremely nice and we were all comfortable
