The property was great with a pool, hot tub, pool tables, remodeled unit and the beach across the street. We all had an amazing stay and the property managers contact back asap when you reach out.
The lrimary bedroom did have a comprimised TV and the 2nd bedroom bed wasnt extremely comforable but other than that the unit was equipped eith everything needed for the beach, snorkling, kitchen items, bath items, etc.
Overall, if I wanted to stay by Magic Sands again on my next trip back I would stay at this location.
Thank you for an enjoyable vacation stay!

We had a great stay! The complex is literally right across from the beach, and even when the beach was closed (shark siting and tropical storm warnings) there is a nice pool as well. The unit was really well appointed, with everything we needed. Communication here was also great with the owner and manager. The only downside to our stay here, and it's specific to our stay and unlikely others - was that the dryer wasn't working and they were waiting on a part to fix it. We'd banked on having that, though it all worked out. And again - the communication was outstanding.

I really enjoyed that this place had beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, coolers, snorkel gear, and other items you wouldn't have room to pack in luggage and came in REALLY handy.
Used the BBQ once, but the stove multiple times to save money on food. I also really love that dry and canned goods left behind will be donated!

The unit was promised to be fully remodeled with air conditioning. And at $440 a night I had high hopes. But they were dashed as we arrived with a rusty screen door and inside a very dirty hallway rug that was curled up at the end, and very dangerous to walk over. The air conditioning did not work as promised my heart, and made it very difficult for us to sleep at night as we are not used to the heat and humidity of Hawaii. This is the fourth unit I’ve stayed at in the White Sands complex, and each unit had its own disappointments. In addition, the beach across the street which we had planned on visiting every day had major construction, and all the sand was gone. There was no swimming. We should have been given an option to cancel under these circumstances.

My family really enjoyed our whole month stay here!! The location is really good and the complex was great for the family....pool...pool table...grills...nice people. I mean it's Hawaii, it is hard to be unhappy there. It was SUPER nice that the place was stocked with things such as shampoo, soap, body wash etc..because we had a mix up with our package of toiletries which were not there when we arrived so not having to go out and buy that stuff knowing we would have it in 2 days was an awesome help. I only wish the place had a vacuum because we were there for so long and I liked to keep it clean but with 2 kids....sand is inevitable.I was told I could pay for a cleaning which I turned down. But all of this information was disclosed on the website, so it was nothing I was upset about, I just wanted to help keep the place clean for the owners. (I used to have a rental so I wanted to be respectful) Overall we had an amazing stay and there are zero complaints! The staff got back to me right away when I had a question, the condo is well stocked! We grilled so much by the pool, cooked in the kitchen...there were perfect to-go cups for our fruity beverages...there were spices...all the small things that add up greatly if we would have had to go out and buy. It was great, I miss it already.

We spent a week here back in August and really enjoyed it. The place felt clean and well cared for overall. Definitely listen to the warning about not leaving food out on the counter because there are tiny little bugs that will immediately invade it. We kept just about everything in the refrigerator or freezer and were fine after that first morning surprise :) The pool was great, we loved the location right across from the beach and the complex overall was pretty quiet. Would return!

We had an Amazing 2 weeks in the condo. It is the perfect location for easy access to Magic Sands Beach, the town of Kailua Kona, and all the other sights to see on the Big Island. We picked up fresh fish to barbeque downstairs, steaks from the local market and incredible fresh fruits. The one thing we wish we would have known about ahead of time is the guided narration app, "Shaka Guide". We ended up driving over 1300 miles during our 2 weeks and would have been nice to have some local knowledge along the way. Overall I would come back to this condo anytime!

Great location in Kona - right across from the beach and a 10-minute drive into town. Lots of thoughtful touches (local Kona snacks, guest book) and easy to communicate with management

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here but were constantly on the go so we did not spend a ton of time here but when here everything was basically good and served our needs. The best part is the location across from a pretty beach and not far to town or the Captain Cook area which we enjoyed. The amenities were nice. Beds could be a little softer but knew this from other reviews however we were so tired every nite that this was not a major issue. Could use a bit more drinking glassware. Dryer broke but was fixed within a day and quick response from property management.Having a pool, hot tub (though jets were not working when we were there),sauna, and billiards pool on premises were nice to have. Also took advantage of the nice bbqs. Overall, a very good stay and value.

The condo is very clean, easy to access and good parking. There aren't any big cons--except watch for pulling into the parking area if you have a low clearance car the elevation from the street will scrape the bottom of your car. We loved the area--very quiet and it felt private--even in the pool area. A solid recommendation.

Clean & comfortable with a great pool. Across the street from a nice beach and awesome sunsets. With a car, it’s a great location for day trips to see the island. We’d definitely rent this condo again!
