Located right on the water, Makana Kai, gift of the sea, has been family-owned
for more than 40 years and retains the feeling of visiting a beloved and well-
furnished home. The house has been renovated with a new kitchen, appliances,
beds, fans, furnishings, and a rebuilt Ipe lanai. The beauty of this house is
its spectacular location at the edge where the pacific ocean meets the Kona
coast. Guests love the views from the deck: sunrises, ocean tides, dolphin
spinning, whales in winter, golden sunsets, the moon over the water and
stargazing at night.
The house has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and is best suited for two couples
or a family with 2-3 children. The primary bedroom has a king sized bed. The
guest bedroom has a Japanese-style shoji screen doors that sections off the
room to provide privacy of a separate sleeping area in the room. The sleeping
arrangement would be one queen bed and one double bed. You have the option to
open up into one larger room or close to two smaller sleeping spaces. The The
house stays cool through the open louvered windows and daily ocean breeze.
Some amenities in addition to a full kitchen include a barbecue and
washer/dryer. There is beach gear for your use: cooler, boogie boards, beach
chairs, mats and umbrella.
A short walk north from the house is Magic Sands - a white sand beach - and
Mile 4 Marker Cove. Less than a mile south is Kahalu’u known for its calm
waters, snorkeling inside the breakwater and surfing/stand-up-paddle-boarding
at the point. The nearby Keauhou Shopping Center has a market, bakery and
coffee shop, restaurants, a book store, shops and a movie theater and also
hosts a Farmer’s Market on Saturdays.
In the town of Kailua (4 miles north) are restaurants, shops, and historic
sites including the Hulihe’e Palace of Queen Kapiolani and Kamakahonu Bay, a
home for King Kamehameha in his later years.
Most activities along the Kona Coast are within a few miles of the house:
swimming, snorkeling, golf, hiking, biking, deep sea fishing and diving and
exploring the art galleries of Holualoa. You can also enjoy drives around the
island to the beaches and hotels of the
northern Kohala coast, see the spectacular Waipi’o Valley, explore beautiful
waterfalls and rainforests, visit the old Hawaii of Hilo and journey to the
Volcano National Park to see the active volcano Kilauea.
Whether you seek adventure sports or quiet time to relax and renew or
something in between, vacationing at Makana Kai will be a blessing to you and
your family.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
