About this house rental

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.

    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.
    2.0 / 10.0
    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.
    6.0 / 10.0
    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!
