Home away from home
This was a wonderful, quiet, clean home for us to spend a vacation. We appreciated the welcome gifts and all the home had to offer. It was lovely to be able to relax on the porch and felt like home.

A beautiful home
This wasn’t a rental property, this was a beautiful home. The house was charming and beautifully decorated. The small residential lot was gorgeously landscaped and meticulously maintained. It was much nicer than the pictures. I’ve never enjoyed a rental more. It’s located in a quiet residential area two blocks from the beach. Not on the water, but I absolutely loved it.

Wonderful spot
We had a wonderful time during our stay here. The home was incredibly clean and the perfect set up for our family of five. We used the kitchen a lot to cook, especially breakfast and dinner. There were lots of supplies for beach days, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, even a wagon. The location was very convenient and made exploring the Kona coast so easy.

The house was beautiful, very well kept, and in a perfect location for us. Walk to the beach and restaurants and short drive to shopping center and the harbor to go fishing. Only 20mins from the airport as well. Highly recommend it!

Fantastic place
The place is fantastic, including all the amenities which meant we did not have to rent snorkeling gear or chairs for the beach. The house is very nice and clean. Great porch to sit and have coffee each morning. Great location. Would greatly recommend to both couples and families to stay.

We enjoyed our stay at the Magic Sands Retreat. Beautiful home with a great laini for relaxing or enjoying my an outdoor happy hour. One bedroom has 2 twin beds and not a double pull out couch as described. Would definately stay again.

Perfect home for a family get away!
We'll definitely be looking to rent this wonderful home again if ever back on the island! It had everything we needed and you couldn't beat the location. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the third bedroom now has two twin beds instead of a pull out couch. All in all, we were very happy with our booking!

Convienient, comfortable and a bit exotic
Very nice home. Clean, comfortable and relaxing. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedding and very nice family room area. The wrap around deck provided a great place to relax and admire the tropical surroundings. Convienient to multiple shopping and dining options. Check out Gypsea Gelato.

Favorite stay
This house was beautiful, and had everything we needed (including a large amount of coolers, beach gear, even fishing pole). My kid asked to return to the house weeks later. The yard was beautiful and had many outdoor places to relax. I could not recommend this property more highly.

Perfect home for family vacation in Kailua-Kona
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: With less than 5 min walk to Magic Sands Beach the perfect location. Close to Alii Drive (main drag) and just far enough away to retreat and relax at the end of the day. This home was recently remodeled, and it shows. Everything you need for a day at the beach is also there. The yards surrounding the property are amazing and full of plant and bird life. As a bonus, few friendly geckos help keep the mosquito population down. Just great.
