About this property

Kona Lighthouse Hawaii - FAMILY BEACH HOUSE

**The pool and pool deck renovation is almost done! (just some painting to complete now). We are very excited. It look amazing! We will be sharing photos soon!**
The Kona Lighthouse is centrally located in a peaceful neighborhood along the Gold Coast of the Big Island, a 5-mile scenic, oceanfront drive between the towns of Kailua-Kona and Keauhou-Kona. —- Ideal for family and small group vacations. A block from White Sands Beach and across the street from the ocean. Enjoy the private lap pool in a lush tropical garden setting. Open & airy home (approx. 2400 sf) with an amazing ocean view. Enjoy cool ocean breezes flowing through the house night and day. Air conditioning in every bedroom, including the studio.

Note that there is an onsite caretaker who lives in an attached apartment on the ground level. you may see her in the early morning cleaning the pool and the grounds.

Tip... If you have a late-evening departing flight, we highly recommend booking an extra night. - We are not often able to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs due to guests coming and going on same day and the need for time to clean between guests (big house - lots to clean!). And we are often not able to store luggage past check out time. If you book an extra night, it will allow you the freedom to come and go as you like without having to haul around luggage everywhere you go until your evening flight - and you'll get to really enjoy that last day on the island before heading home!

Note: The state of Hawaii charges accomodations taxes (18.72%). This is in addition to room and cleaning fees, and will be included in your booking total. (Nothing more due upon arrival).

Apologies for the delayed review, but it would be irresponsible to ignore the opportunity to rave about Family Beach House. My wife and I and two friends had a excellent stay. The house was clean and comfortable, with a lovely view and an easy stroll to a beach. The groundskeeper was friendly and accommodating. We were located a comfortable distance to the town center which allowed easy accessibility yet far enough to afford quiet. The pool was refreshing if in need of some maintenance. I have absolutely no reservations about highly recommending Family Beach House and hope to stay there again in the future!

Great location and nice house. The place was well stocked and there's a caretaker on site for any needs. We went with six family members and it fit our needs perfectly. The pool is a bit funky but is being redone so that's exciting. Be aware, there are a lot of stairs, so not handicap accessible but otherwise a wonderful place and we had a fabulous time.

We loved our stay at Kona Lighthouse! Our party of 8, ages 8 to 50ish, fit perfectly with room to spare. The sunsets were breath taking every night, with a view of the surfers and bodyboarders at Magic sands beach. The location was perfect, a quick ride to downtown Kona. The house had everything we needed, snorkel gear, beach towels and chairs, even water shoes for the whole family. The pool was beautiful and refreshing after a long day of sight seeing. We were happy to have a/c units in all the bedrooms to make it easy to sleep at night. The kitchen had ample amenites so we could cook at the house for a few meals. Thank you to our hosts who were quick to answer any questions we had. We love the Big Island!

This VRBO was perfect for our 3 family, first time in Hawaii vacation. In a quiet residential neighborhood, close to a beautiful beach, our large and open ‘home’ had all the amenities we could possibly need and more. Lynda and Jeff along with Terry were great hosts answering questions within minutes. Eating on the balcony and watching the sunsets were our favorite time of the day. Highly recommend a stay here.

Reunion by the Beach

Very comfortable home in a beautiful, safe neighborhood for our multigenerational group. Took a hot mug of Kona coffee down to the beach each morning and watched the body surfers catch the waves. Cleaning up at the end of a beach day was easy with the very private, hot shower outside. There was so much to enjoy on the island and the location was perfect for reaching all sites easily. We heartily recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Lynda Jeffcoat

Host profile image

Craig and Lynda are happy to be the new owners of the Kona Lighthouse (as of March 2021)! As frequent visitors to Hawaii, we finally decided to find our own place in paradise! Craig is a surfer, and avid beach-goer. Lynda also loves the water and the wildlife. Hanging out at the beach, hiking, and exploring the island brings us peace and relaxation. We hope you are able to experience this for yourself, too.

Why they chose this property

The property is located literally a block from the ocean. It is an easy walk to Magic Sands Beach, one of the best beaches on the island. The house is large, open and airy offering plenty of space to spread out. It has a true beach-house vibe. The house has a main upper floor with 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. The lower portion of the house is a separate studio with an additional queen and twin bed. If you want to just relax and enjoy the view while the kids play in the private pool, this is the place for you!
Note: There are lots of stairs - so beware. If you are not able to navigate stairs well, this may not be the property for you.
Terry is your onsite property contact - she lives in the apartment that is connected to the house on the lower level, and is available for any questions or concerns.
The beach is calling....and there is no better place than Hawaii to relax and get away from it all!

What makes this property unique

Lots of beach and pool toys, including beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkels and masks, coolers, etc. Short walk to beach. Plenty of parking space (2 cars in driveway, and some street parking, if needed). Centrally located along the Kona coast, the perfect spot to use as a base for island exploration. Tropical surroundings. Close to town and all the amenities, shopping, restaurants, etc.
