Stunning Estate Property In Gated Community Steps From The Ocean
About this house rental
Situated in Big Island, this charming house for $1,242 per night is a great choice for your next break. Welcome to our 5 star rated vacation home. We call our home Forever Sunsets because with just a short walk to the water in our gated community you can watch the sunset every night. You are also a short 600 yard walk to Magic Sands Beach, the most popular sandy beach in Kailua-Kona. As you are centrally located the home is a little over a mile to downtown Kona and all the shops and restaurants and roughly a mile from the Keauhou Shopping Center and bars and restaurants there. The house has been a vacation rental for a number of years with the prior owners receiving over 25 Five Star Reviews! The house has air conditioning, high ceilings, gourmet kitchen and large patio area next to a plunge pool perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach. We also have a ping pong table, bocce ball and corn hole boards for the active family. When you enter the house it has the "wow factor" as you are treated to a large open concept living room, kitchen and dining room area that is tastefully decorated with custom art and furniture pieces. There is also one bedroom off the main entrance with a king sized bed that can also be used as a separate media room if you want a space to let the kids watch their shows while the adults socialize in the main downstairs living area or outdoors. Upstairs off the main living room is a very large master bedroom with a king sized bed and covered lanai (porch) with an ocean view. The master has an amazing attached bathroom. There is also a small twin sized settee in the room that can come in handy if you have a younger one that wants to sleep closer to mom and dad but not in bed with them. The northern wing of the house has another large downstairs master bedroom with a king sized bed and generous bathroom and walk-in closet. The upstairs of the northern wing of the house has another master bedroom with a queen sized bed and bathroom and second bedroom that has two double sized beds and a bathroom. The house is designed for all the guests to be spread out and to maximize privacy with the bedrooms separated out between the different wings of the house. In all, the house has 3 bedrooms with king sized beds, one bedroom with a queen sized bed, one bedroom with double beds, a twin sized settee, a twin sized bed, several padded cots and a pull out couch in the main living area. As a result, the house can comfortably accommodate 12-14 guests. As we love going to the beach with our family and friends, we've stocked the house with plenty of beach toys such as beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards, beach towels and surf boards in the garage for guest use. The house comes with a washer and dryer, which means you can pack light. We have a bocce ball set at the house that you can play at the beach or on the lawn in the side yard plus there are other board games and toys for guest use. As we have family and kids that use the house, we've tried to make the house feel like you are coming home to live rather than in the typical sterile vacation rental. In addition to being in a gated ocean front community, the house only has a neighbor on one side meaning that it adds to your families privacy while you are staying. Ocean access is by a path from the house to the water approximately 100 yards away where there are tide pools and where you can sit and watch sunsets during your stay. In addition to a plunge pool, the outdoor patio has a large dinner table, chairs, lounges and a bbq for family gatherings. You'll likely choose to eat most of your meals outside on the patio during your stay. STVR-19-377461

Our family stayed here to celebrate our 50th Anniversary that will actually happen in the summer. We had 4 families there, 7 adults and 4 children under age 12. We came from AZ and the rest came from ND. We had a great time. The house was perfect for us, large enough and the kids loved the pool. Each family had their own room in the house and their own privacy. The kitchen was big enough for all of us and we utilized the BBQ a couple of times. We loved walked down to the ocean and watching the sunset. We would gladly rent this house again. It does need all new flooring though.

The Proparty was beautifully appointed with room enough for our family group of 11 people. It was also well equipped with paper products and towels and linens although the kitchen could have used a larger skillet to cook eggs, etc for a crowd. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and the ping pong table in the garage was very popular with the teenage members of our group.

Our family of 9 immensely enjoyed our stay at the house. The set up was perfect for everyone to have their own space, but the common area was large and accommodative for the times when we lounged together. The amenities were wonderful! It was so nice to already have beach towels, beach chairs, and snorkeling gear available as soon as we arrived. Anne was attentive when communicated with and very helpful. Over all wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

Although the property has good possibilities, there were several problems:
The upstairs master air conditioning did not work, and the concierge did not seem to know this when we discussed the problem on the first day.
The WiFi was too weak in the remote bedrooms to use the TV, and we racked up extra data charges on the phones.
The Bluetooth interface to the stereo system did not work.
The information binder included features that did not work, although they were not in the VRBO listing.
The gate on the path to the ocean was broken; after a couple days someone came to prop it open.
After 3 dinners we gave up on eating outside due to mosquitos.

What a wonderful space for communal meals and games while offering each couple private space.

We really enjoyed our stay at Forever Sunsets! It was the perfect house to start our mother-daughter trip out on the Big Island. Ann was great with our requests and a wonderful host. The house is in a great location. We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom which gave it a hotel feel. Mahalo!

We loved the pod-style floorplan of the house. The 4 private rooms with bathrooms made each couple have a great week. The beds were amazing. The kitchen and common spaces were so large and very comfortable. Loved the patio, and had many enjoyable times out there. The location was fantastic. Thank you for all the nice things you had in the house for cooking and the beach. I sure hope we can come again sometime soon. I am going to recommend this to my friends who come every year. Thank you for being such an amazing host.

Great house for a large group in a beautiful location made for a perfect family vacation. Rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable, and the landscaping is lovely. Anne sent good information and instructions before our arrival, which made packing for a beach stay much easier. She was in touch to be sure all was well, which it was!

Don't hesitate to book this beautiful spacious property located close to the ocean. It is only 2 minutes to Magic Sands beach by car and a short walk to the lava rock shore behind the home, which offers gorgeous sunset views (no beach access from here). Very clean and modern home with upscale finishes throughout! Lots of space for everyone. Each bedroom is very private but still adjoins nicely with the rest of the home. One exception is the small downstairs bedroom, which is located directly off the kitchen, so plan accordingly for noise. The property is located in a gated neighborhood, which offers added safety! Host was fast to respond with any questions. And bonus, the property comes with LOTS of beach toys and accessories such as umbrellas, chairs, toys, boogie boards, etc. Highly recommend this beautiful home!

Our extended family of 11 spent a week in this amazing house in Kona. The accommodations, location, proximity to the beach and ocean, and Ann's hospitality were top notch! We could not have asked for a more perfect rental. Thank you for sharing and for providing such an amazing place for our family to spend quality time together! We'll be back!

Unique Home for Large Group
We just wrapped up our 2-week stay at Forever Sunsets, with a large multi-generation family of 12. This review is based on our experience with several other Big Island vacation rentals.
The check-in process was simple. The property manager was friendly and met us at the house for a tour upon our arrival. Overall, the home was accommodating for a large group. It was nice to have an open-concept kitchen/family room space for everyone to gather. The pod-living concept (as a previous reviewer noted) is unique and has its pros and cons. In the main house, there is one master bedroom upstairs and one bedroom downstairs (which opens directly to the kitchen and has to share the shower upstairs). The other rooms must be accessed by exiting thru the lanai. One twin bed was in a walk-in closet and one was in a master bedroom. It is something to consider if you are looking into this property.
Amenities: I would agree with the review of the plunge pool, which was previously an endless swim pool, but the motor was removed so it is now a plunge pool. It became a mosquito magnet for us, which made it unusable (day or night). Kids enjoyed the ping pong table and cornhole games. There is no surfboard (as noted) but 1-2 usable boogie boards. Lots of swim shoes and snorkel equipment (some working). We appreciated two washer and dryers!
Location: Great location near downtown Kona. It's easily accessible. The 'private' beach is also easily accessible to the public. It is a great spot to watch the sunset.
Overall: The house was accommodating, but needs some upkeep (worn furniture, appliances, towels, etc.). The property manager encouraged our suggestions. There were lots of plastic cups, bowls, etc., but a hodgepodge of other glassware. Larger pots and pans would be welcomed when cooking for a large group. Definitely needs a deep cleaning.

We stayed here with a group of 13 from multiple families. Everyone had plenty of room. Lots of beach gear provided was a big bonus. Very close to restaurants and water access. Nice house!

The house and location was lovely. Very functional for a large group. The "pool" was somewhat disappointing, it's actually a non-functioning swim spa, that could have been made clearer in the description. There were lots of mosquitoes, that took a couple of days raid to get under control. The property manager should have done this ahead of time

Big Memories on The Big Island
Beautiful home in a safe, quiet area. We loved the pool and lanai. The location is great, but a car is a must! We had plenty of space for our party of 10, and found all of the towels, beach chairs and umbrellas that we needed. Would love to stay again if we ever get the chance!

Everything was great except the pool is quite small and the pod living concept is not to our liking. I would stay here again.

We can not say enough great things about this rental and the attentive property manager, Ann. There were so many supplies available: snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, cooler, umbrellas, abundant linens and extra beds, plenty of dishes and cooking utensils. Views of the ocean from the upstairs balcony, walking gate to the tide pools, walking distance to two beaches. Highly recommend snorkeling right out at disappearing sands. The close beaches were good for teens and adults, had to drive 20-40 minutes for other beaches better for smaller children to play safely in the waves (the only complaint). Close proximity to shops in Kona, costco and many other stores. This house really has everything available for a group to just show up and enjoy the island! Thank you for hosting our large group! The fresh local fruit brought to us was a lovely touch:)

The house was perfect for our group. For late sleepers and early risers. Everyone had a place to enjoy our stay. Home cooking was especially easy given all the spices/condiments that were available. We walked down to watch the sunset each evening, and the 7 min walk to Magic Sands Beach was a breeze. Our house manager was very helpful in ideas for our group. We loved our vanilla farm tour, and the waterfall on our trip to Hilo. Such a special vacation.

From start to finish this house was fabulous. The things provided were impressive. Lots of beach towels, ping pong, bocce. The patio was a good place to gather with comfortable furniture as was the living room and the dining area having a round table which was good for playing cards and games. Our family loved Magic Beach for the closest option. Anne, the house manager was friendly and helpful. Great experience all around
