About this property

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

We have named our home Makani Kai which means "ocean breeze" where you can come to relax, watch the waves and let your stress melt away. In our opinion, the house is in one of the most beautiful locations on the island. Situated on the world famous Lyman's surf break, you can watch the surf and surfers ride the waves from almost every room and bedroom in the house. Guests have described our home as feeling that they've rented their own private resort on the island.
At over 5,000 square feet Makani Kai is one of the largest vacation rentals on the island. The house boasts 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, with multiple kitchens, 3 separate living rooms and a large game room with a pool table, foosball table and ping pong table. We also have a cornhole board and other board games. This makes the house perfect for extended family and/or multi-family rentals where guests still want to have their own quiet space within the house.
Three of the bedrooms have king sized beds. One bedroom has a queen sized bed and one has a double bed. There is also a double bed sized futon couch, queen sized fixed couch and several portable twin sized beds. 4 of the bedrooms have their own bathroom. Each bedroom has an air conditioner that can be separately adjusted to the desired temperature of the guest in that room.
There are three sets of washers and dryers in the house for your convenience. The swimming pool is situated on the ocean side of the house so you can enjoy the pool and watch the waves and sunset from the pool deck. The pool deck area is elevated so that the ocean view is enhanced.
The house is situated approximately 1/2 a mile north of Magic Sands Beach, which is considered to the the best sandy beach in town. One of the top snorkeling locations on the island, Kahaluu Bay is just 1 mile South of the house. The house is located on Alii Drive approximately 1.5 miles South of the main downtown Kailua-Kona area and roughly 1.5 miles North of Keauhou Bay. Alii Drive is the main ocean front road between downtown Kona and Keauhou Bay. The road is well traveled with significant noise. If you are from a quiet neighborhood you will notice it, while if you are from the city maybe less so. In our opinion, the stunning ocean views are a worthy tradeoff.
The back and the sides of the house are surrounded by forest reserve land so your only "close" neighbors are across the street to the left. In the rear of the house there is a large separate patio area that adds to the space of the house and creates a separate quiet area. The front of the house is separated from the ocean by Alii Drive.
The game room has a pool table, foosball table, wet bar and various board games for the family to enjoy.
There are gated parking areas on both the North and South end of the property that comfortably park 3 vehicles. There is also ample street parking.
In the garage there are boogie boards, surfboards, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and various beach toys for guest use.
From the main kitchen you can watch the waves while cooking or making fruity island drinks to enjoy by the pool. Surrounding the pool are multiple lounge chairs, tables and a bbq for guest use. With 8 televisions and internet in the house there is ample different electronic entertainment options for a large group, including kids.

Great family rental

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.

Perfect for us

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

Hawaiian Vacation March 2025

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!

Exceeded Expectations

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 property was perfect for our family of 12. We stayed two weeks and wished it was longer. The house is equipped with everything you would need. The pool was an added plus especially for the children. All in all I can’t express enough how much we enjoyed the house accommodations.
