Walk to White Sands Beach or Relax by Your Private Pool

Best Vacation Rental EVER!

This property offered great space, serene location, short drive to the Kona area and conveniences. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here!

Great spot for our family. We were traveling either our three young adult children and two grandparents. The Ohana was great so the grandparents had their own space. Everyone loved the pool and the house was one of the best well stocked VRBOs we’ve stayed in. Very nice when you have flight delays and cannot make the market before it closes. We felt it was a great location to get to all of the things we needed and wanted to see. Sarang was great and we’d stay here again.

While the communication with the owners was excellent and the location was close to everything the condition of the place was a surprise. To say the place was unclean was an understatement. If they have cleaners they should consider getting new ones. There was dust, dead bugs, filth, and black mold in every room. I understand this is a tropical climate but this place has not been cleaned in a long time. Old Kleenexes under a bed, filthy box fans, ants in the bathrooms, caked on dirt on the closet shelves, loose electrical outlets, and many more cleanliness/safety issues. The outside furniture was rusted through and needed to be replaced. If anyone in your party has mobility issues, the extremely steep driveway could be an issue. The pool and home are beautiful but just need some deep cleaning and freshening up.

The accommodations had everything. We enjoyed eating outside on the deck and watching the sunset. The pool is a good size to accommodate floating devices. We walked 6 km to downtown, it’s great for those who love to walk. 10 min walk to Magic beach. Overall in the future, we would return to the same house. Thanks for everything!

This was a great house for our visit!

We very much enjoyed staying at this home. It was comfortable and well equipped. The location was great on a cul-de-sac with easy beach and food access. The kids loved the pool and we watched some great sunsets on the lanai. Would happily stay here again!

Our family had a great time

Five stars all around. A great stay walking distance Magic Sands while also very accessible to Kona. Would come back any time!

Beautiful home with a great location. We enjoyed our stay. The house was very well stocked and very comfortable.Would recommend this house and will plan to return!Thank you for sharing your home.

The place was great, very clean, well outfitted, everything is there for a relaxing vacation. The pool is fantastic, and the location is great.

Mahola for a perfect stay! We loved the house and ohana suite for our family. We had everything we needed supplied by the host, beach towels, snorkel gear, kids life vests and toys. The house is perfectly situated for amazing sunsets! The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked every meal, saving us a lot of money! I highly recommend Sarang’s house for a very comfortable vacation!!!

The host was welcoming and prompt to reply. The house was beautiful and in a great location. We really enjoyed the outdoor dining area and pool. Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location right near the beach. This was perfect for my family. Would definitely rent again.

Our host was wonderful and attentive! Their lovely home is a great option for small groups comfortable with a more communal living experience. It was thoughtfully stocked, especially for beachgoers. The kitchen was also well equipped and had extra seasonings and supplies beyond what you’d typically expect, making it very functional for preparing meals at home.The design emphasizes openness and connection, which allows sound to travel easily throughout. The interior slatted doors and screened windows highly contribute to the shared atmosphere rather than a private one. However, they also contribute to the air flow! Even without air conditioning it stayed cool and comfortable with fans and trade winds. The driveway is quite steep and may be challenging for anyone with mobility concerns or discomfort with stairs, so it’s something to be mindful of when arriving and departing. The bedroom pull-down window blinds did not extend fully, which limited privacy in bedrooms facing the roadway or driveway.The pool is a beautiful feature; however, it is 4 feet deep at the shallowest so it may not be suitable for small children or non-swimmers without close supervision. For this reason we did not use it. During rainy weather don’t be surprised if some mist enters through the screened open-air ceiling areas. A quick wipe with a towel will keep it dry. Overall this is a well-supplied, beach-friendly home best suited for guests who value openness and shared living over full privacy.

Thank you, everything was wonderful.

This house is awesome! I can’t say enough about our stay. The house itself is laid out beautifully and the cabinets are stocked with everything you could possibly need from sugar, condiments, glasses, etc. There is snorkel gear, we brought our own, but could have used theirs. There are a ton of beach towels. There are amazing beaches within walking distance and the restaurants and shops are walkable as well. We were a bit disappointed with the weather, definitely more cloudy in December than we had hoped, but still most day had some blue skies and sun for a bit.

Everything was in great condition. The pool was cold because it’s in the shade the whole day

We had a lovely stay. Great location, close to Magic Sands Beach. Loved having a pool. Kitchen was stocked with all the equipment you could need. Would absolutely stay here again.

Lock box very difficult to open. Very steep driveway. Heavy chlorine in pool. Hair dryer in primary bathroom not working and TV in primary bedroom not working and no instructions. Air conditioning would have been nice.

Proximity to town while being up the hill for a view was lovely., The house is warm and welcoming. Our host was responsive, Kitchen was well-stocked.: beds and baths as described: roomy, clean. All 6 of us really enjoyed it!!

Host was responsive to any questions I had and very easy to work with. The house was great, it took some getting used to with no A/C and being so open but it cooled off enough at night to be comfortable with all the fans. We didn't get to use the pool much as it was cool and we had a cloudy week, but the location was great with an easy walk to the beach and magics beach grill, as well as the main drive into Kona. Also I'm not sure if it is on purpose or not but there were several cute green geckos that live in the house and left us alone but were a hit with the kids. Had everything we needed and then some. Would love to go back someday.

We stayed for 8 nights and it worked out perfect. The property is beautiful and we loved the pool. It was so nice to walk a short 5 to 10 min and be at a beach. Having beach supplies like chairs, coolers and snorkle gear was also great. Due to a previous guest there was an issue with the toilet in the downstairs room but the owner quickly had it fixed.I couple things to note. The main house does not have AC which we were not used to. My husband is someone who would have ac on even when it is 60 degrees. Lol. But it wasnt a major issue especially since we were out doing things during the day. The other thing to be aware of is the driveway is extremely steep so for those with bad knees or who are older it might be a little challenging. We opened the garage door at the top of the driveway and my dad who is 81 pulled his car in there so it worked out. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home to others visiting Kona.

It was a very cute and comfortable home. The location was perfect. The ocean breezes kept the temperature very comfortable. All the amenities were great. It also was kid friendly.

wonderful!!!it was great place to gather for the family. The house had many amenities many rental homes do not have. The salt water pool was so refreshing.

Property was exactly as described and catered well to our family of 9, with 5 adults and 4 children ranging from 2 to 12 in age. Really? Well, designed to use the cooling winds and the pool was perfect for afternoon cooling off with the beach and snorkel spot close by. The requests that we had were responded to within the hour each time by a very patient Sarang. Whole heartedly recommend this holiday stay and these hosts in every way.

Awesome view Very clean, enjoyed the pool. We all enjoyed what time we stayed.

The property was perfectly located, spacious, and clean, and the owner provided lots of great information about the neighborhood as well as access to things like pool floats, lawn chairs, etc. The only thing that would have made it perfect would have been air conditioning. In that part of the world, I appreciate allowing the island currents to help cool the place off, but we couldn't get sufficient airflow through the windows every night. Perhaps higher-capacity ceiling fans would help if wall or window units aren't desirable aesthetically. Still, it felt like an island experience, and I would highly recommend the property. It was great value for the price.

We’ve stayed in several condos in Kona, but nothing compares to this oasis—it was truly amazing! The location was perfect, close to the beach and Alii Drive. The condo was exceptionally well-stocked, not just with kitchen basics but so much more. The garage was a treasure trove with snorkel gear, boogie boards, pool toys, and more. The outdoor deck was ideal for relaxing in the evenings, watching the kids swim while enjoying the cool breeze. With five adults and two kids (ages 10 and 12), we had more than enough space to spread out comfortably. We will definitely be back

I would definitely recommend this place. It is a beautiful home. The pool was a blessing. The beach is so close and absolutely amazing.

This house could not have been more perfect for our summer vacation for our family of 10. We all enjoyed the beautifully designed, very clean pool. Location was close to beach and other places we wanted to visit. Communication with owner was excellent -- we particularly appreciated the booklet sent to us before our trip that outlined fun things to do and places to see. Don't miss the tour of Mountain Thunder coffee plantation! The entire trip was a thoroughly great experience!

We stayed for a 30th birthday with 3 couples and 2 babies. It was everything we could have asked for. The house is well stocked and once you get all the windows open and fans going it stays pretty comfortable.

The property location is amazing, just a short 5-10 min walk to Magic Sands Beach. The pool was amazing and my 3 boys (ages 8,5,2) loved it! There were beach towels and toys at the house. The cooler was great to have on our trips to the Hilo side. Communication with the owner was great and they were super helpful.

We had a great time in Hawaii! There was a snag with the check-in process but it was swiftly rectified by Sarang. House was not as clean as we had hoped, especially based on previous reviews.

We were a group of 5 adults, 3 singles & 1 couple and the setup of the house was perfect for us. The location is very convenient. We loved being in walking distance of a beach and a great restaurant. The kitchen had just about anything one might need and there are plenty of dishes, cutlery, and glassware. Nice furnishings, well maintained and tasteful. The owners were very responsive to our communications and the pre-visit information was a treasure trove of great activity suggestions. I really appreciated that extra spices, condiments, ect were available. I hope to come back.

Walkable to the beach with enough of a distance that you don't hear most of the local traffic. House had all the amenities needed to get settled in with and groceries were just a 5 minute drive. Clean and lovely.

Our family enjoyed the location and the pool. Also had a great view of the Sunset. It gets a little hot during the day with no AC but in the evening it cooled off enough to sleep well. The front unit had a AC unit but it didn't cool the space completely. Overall recommend

This was an excellent place to stay. The location and view was as advertised. Communication with owner very good.

Everything was as shown. Easy communication. Our family enjoyed the location, the pool, the beach equipment, and the layout for all the various family configurations. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed some family meals there. The ohana was a bit more basic in its fit and finish. Even though we were comfortable, it was a bit tired - the main house was great!

8 adults 2 kids had plenty of space to spread out, everything needed for cooking, beach and pool supplies, comfy beds and excellence views coupled with quick walk to beautiful beach. Perfect house for families

We had amazing time exploring Kona. This location was great. Dhort walk to the beach, annd only 25 minutes to the airport. Lots of amenities. No air conditioning but had plenty of fans that keep the house cool. We would go back in a heart beat!

We had a mix of family time while the younger set did snorkeling boogie boarding and hiking. Loved the pool

We loved the house it was so comfortable and had everything we needed to make our trip complete!! There was enough ocean gear to keep us all busy snorkeling and boogie boarding, plenty of beach towels. The kitchen was large enough for our entire family and well equipped with everything we needed . The kids enjoyed the pool after long days at the beach. Can’t wait to come back would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you

Had a group of friends stay in Hawaii for my boyfriend’s birthday, the place was clean and spacious, with beautiful ambience and close to the beach. Wish we could’ve stayed longer

This property is in a great location but needs some fixing up. Great place to relax, We ate on the deck every day.

We stayed for a week and were very pleased with the property. The house was built with windows all over allowing the wonderful breeze throughout. The lanai was perfect for relaxing on and enjoying the sunset.The house was well stocked and clean. My only complaint is with the Ohana suite. While the it was directly underneath the master bedroom, it was completely separate from the actual house. The pictures and listing didn’t state that, so I assumed there was a connection somewhere. With that, the driveway was a bit steep so coming up from the Ohana suite/down from the house was a challenge.

We loved the property

A gorgeous house that accommodated 8 adults, located close to the water and fairly close to the beaches. Very convenient to have 3 bathrooms. We absolutely loved that the kitchen was fully stocked and had lots of dishes to use, as we cooked for most of our meals. The pool was very relaxing after a day of exploring the island. Host was very responsive and communicated well. Would highly recommend!

It was great

We stayed 5 nights and loved the property. It's private, but extremely close to the beach (private access), shopping, etc.

The main house and ohana were the perfect set up for our extended family. The kitchen was very well stocked and the pool and deck were used daily!

My husband and I took our children, granddaughter and children’s friends on our Christmas vacation. The house was so perfect for us. The children had the upstairs house and we had the Ohana for our sleeping quarters. The beach was so close, we could hear the waves crashing against the rocks from the backyard. There was more than enough space for the 7 of us and everybody was comfortable. The house does not have air, but it had ceiling fans and box fans. It cooled off at night, so everybody was real comfortable. (No a/c may be a turn off for some people). We walked to the beach everyday. The house sits on a cul du sac so it was very quiet the whole time we were there. It was easy to get around to Walmart, Starbucks and the gas stations. This homes does have an in ground pool, but the water was too cold to get in. We did relax quite a bit by the pool though.Overall, it was one of the best family vacations we’ve taken as a family and I would do it all over again at this home.

This home was wonderful for my family. The location was great and worth the price!

Great property, especially for families with kids. The pool comes in handy when the ocean is not cooperating. Great amenities was surprised to find a rice cooker in the kitchen score!

The house was just as described. Being in a house with a pool was great. But also having the beach so close was amazing. Would definitely stay again

We had four adults and couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more! This gorgeous home is clean, well stocked and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and bbq in the evenings. I was up before the sun to sit outside and wait for the birds to wake up. Sarang has a great list of things to do and places to eat on the island. I kept a copy in the car and it was so helpful. I also had to reach out to Sarang about the waterfall in the pool and got an immediate response. I would not hesitate to stay here again and hope I can. 10/10! Thank you Sarang!
