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

Just had a WONDERFUL stay at this beautiful home in Kona. Location is absolutely perfect…..close to town, walking distance to beaches and restaurants, across the street from a surfers beach. House was perfect for 12 people….air Conditioned rooms, lots of bathrooms and laundry facilities. Garage supplied us with all the snorkel equipment we needed, along with boogie and surf boards. And the pool was a huge hit every day for our group. The home sits above Ali’i road which can be a busy road, but the views and sunsets were so stunning that the noise was never an issue for us.The house was very clean, kitchen well stocked with appliances and the host is very responsive. The pool table was a bonus as well as a wine cooler and frig for drinks in the pool room.We HIGHLY recommend this home!

This house was perfect for our family of 9. Everyone had enough room and it was a perfect location. The house has plenty of laundry areas which made everything much easier. I’d recommend cranking the ACs in the bedrooms the moment you arrive so they’re cool by the time you’re ready for bed. The host has plenty of recommendations and they were all spot on. We would recommend this property to anyone traveling with a large group.

great building for a large family. great pool and lots of beach and pool accessories good locationLots of road noise

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.

Lovely big house.

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. : )

Host was most accommodating during the reservation process

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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! House was very accommodating! Great view!

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!

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

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.

We had a group of 12 gather for the holidays. The house was amazing and spacious and had everything we could possibly need. There is a beautiful ocean view and awesome spot to check out the tidepools right across the road. All of our kids loved the pool and various toys and fun stuff in the house. We were so happy with our time here. Thank you

Our family enjoyed this large house so much! Watching the surfers.. and watching baby goats play behind the house were bonuses! The owner communicated promptly.. we felt so welcomed with the goodies, lights on, music on, etc.. Magalo very much🌺

This beautiful 5 bedroom home on the ocean accommodated our large family extremely well. Everyone had their own space and we didn't feel 'on top of each other'. Very clean and well stocked for making family dinners. There was plenty of pool and beach gear for our use. Everyone loved the game room. Ken, the host was wonderful! He quickly responded to any questions that I had and provided me with all the information I needed for a successful and fun family reunion. I highly recommend this property!

This house is huge with so many sitting areas. Great for a large family

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!
