About this property

The Beach House - Closest House to Magic Sands Beach, Pool, Pickleball Court

Location, location, location. The Beach House is the closest rental house to Magics Beach and Magics Grill. Magic Sands Beach is the the most popular beach in town and gets its name from the fact that the sand comes and goes based on the waves. (Really big waves will pull the sand out and small waves build the beach up. In other words, after a big storm the beach sand disappears and will then build back after the storm. Like "magic.") With chairs, boogie boards and beach gear at the house you are only about 100 steps away from the beach area. After you get back from the beach, rinse off the sand with the handy outdoor shower. We have a pool, pickleball court, ping pong table and foosball table. We will built a large gazebo with a table that seats 12-14 next to the pool for large family barbeques. Under the house near the pool and pickleball court is a ping pong table and a foosball table! Family games galore! Look out the windows and check out the waves before you go to the beach. With 4 bedrooms, the house can sleep up to 14. If you want to be in the middle of the action, this is the place. The main living area is on the 3rd floor of the house which offers terrific views. The top floor has a master bedroom with a king sized bed and attached bath and a 2nd bedroom with a queen sized bed with a full bathroom in the hallway. Each of the bedrooms has peek ocean views. The house has air conditioning throughout with the ability to control the temperature in each room. The second floor has two bedrooms (one with a king sized bed and one with queen bunk beds), a full bath, and a separate game room area with a TV (this has a fold down futon style couch.) There is also a washer and dryer on the second floor. The house was remodeled in January 2022 so it offers a lot of newer and upgraded amenities. In addition to the beach being across the street, the house is also across the street from Magic Sands Grill, one of the most popular local places to eat. Enjoy watching the sunsets every evening from the 3rd floor lanai. The yard is fully fenced for additional privacy and there is plenty of parking for multiple cars. The house is centrally located on Alii Drive such that you are less than 2 miles to the Keauhou Shopping Center to the South and about 1 mile from downtown Kona to the North. The 4 bedrooms have a total of 2 king and 3 queen sized beds. There is also a comfortable queen sized futon in the 2nd floor living room, two padded cots and a comfy couch upstairs for additional sleeping options.

Wonderful time. Family of 8 stayed here and we had plenty of room. I was surprised how much we used the pool because Magic Sands was rocky. Spent a lot of time on the lanai. Welcome surprise was the large amount of beach toys available for our use.

This was a perfect place for our family of nine - 6 years to 72 yrs. Close to beaches, great views & plenty of space. Great pool & other amenities. It’s on a busy street so at times can be noisy but that was not an issue for us. Owner & management very responsive to any questions or issues. Would stay there again with a large group.

Great location, walk across road toMagic Sands Beach, drive a half mile to snorkeling with clear water good variety of fish and we even saw some large sea turtles. Take the opportunity to night snorkel with Captain Bill. This Manta Ray experience is super, and it’s ten minutes from the house. Bill and Levi were fun and informative. We were a group of nine from four to seventy four. Hope to go back again.

Great family house

Our whole family (3 children and their spouses plus 3 grandchildren) spent a week at the beach house near Magic Sands Beach. We had an incredible time exploring the island but enjoyed our time at the house the most. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. The pool, the games, the view on the lanai. We will be talking about this trip for long time! Thank you for the everlasting memories!

Amazing House and Location!

Our family of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids ages 9-11) had a great time at this beach house! The location is amazing, across the street from Magic Sands Beach, and gorgeous ocean and sunset views from the third floor (main floor). The bottom level is full of activities with the pool and pickleball court being the biggest hits with our family. We also appreciated the amount of bath and beach towels, and all the beach accessories available to use. Would recommend this property to anyone looking in the area!

We could not have had a better stay! Three generations, and everyone had a great time. The younger kids many days went from the pool, to the beach and back to the pool. I think they were in the water six hours a day! Everyone enjoyed pickleball and the pool. Air conditioning was appreciated, internet was strong enough for ten of us, shaved ice just feet from the house and a two minute walk to one of the best beaches on the island! Needed help one time, and the problem was resolved in a manner of hours. Could not have asked for more.

We are 4 sisters and our spouses that enjoyed our stay at the beach house. We appreciated 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and spacious great room to gather in. Glorious air conditioning! In addition there were all the beach toys, pickleball court, pool, ping pong table, football… so much to do so little time when not exploring the island.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Caufield

Host profile image

Our family loves Hawaii and particularly the Kailua-Kona property. We've had vacation rentals on the island since 2009 and have solid 5 star reviews. We are all beach volleyball players so you'll often see us playing at Magic Sands and/or downtown. We also love the ocean and our whole family have competed in outrigger canoe races.

Why they chose this property

This property is one of the most iconic houses on Alii Drive. Everyone knows this house. After walking and parking by the house for years when it finally came up for sale we couldn't pass up the opportunity to purchase it. The house is unique in that it is the closest house to Magic Sands Beach and Magics Grill but has no neighbors on either side or behind the house. We are excited to share our love of the island and Magic Sands Beach with our guests.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. The Beach House is the closest rental house to Magic Sands Beach and Magics Grill. You can grab your beach gear and walk about 100+ steps and you are on Magic Sands Beach!
