Wonderful, relaxing, vacation with everything you need. Central perfect spot steps away from the beach. Property management and owners were amazing. Changed out butcher block of knives for new set! Both Bathroom towel sets could use change out for next guests 😉 We had a blast and definitely recommend and return!

Staying at this condo was a terrific experience. Location was very good. The condo was a perfect layout for 3 of us, including enough space when my husband became I’ll the day after we arrived! He had lots of room while we were out exploring the island. I also can’t say enough about Knutson and ***. Property Management team, especially Blake and Shyya Ha’o. Shyya stayed in touch with me when planning to meet my aunt, so she knew where to go. Everything was done and ready when she arrived before us. I can’t say enough good things! Thank you for helping to make this a great vacation, even with a sick spouse!

The unit was spacious and clean, very well appointed as far as every day items we need. I was a little puzzled by them only allowing us 3 dishwasher and laundry pods for a week stay. Wev were told we could buy more and request a refund but that is too much of a hassle. We cooked in for breakfast and dinner nearly every day so we could have used more. Management might want to consider allowing one per day of stay to be realistic. We ended up hand washing most days - but who wants to do dishes on their vacation ? seemed silly, are they worried we would steal dishwasher soap ? Also watch for mandatory security fee that we were not fully aware of until final payment when it was tacked on, option 2 was pay $1000 deposit then have to get that back later. Would be much better to clearly state that requirement at time of booking, but it is small print so read carefully and get clarification. We were also locked out of our unit the first night. The door code they gave us was not correct, it took us a while to get a hold of someone to get a new code. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, Not positive I would recommend to others, it depends on what their needs are.

My husband and brother and I stayed here for the Ironman race. It was a great stay - so convenient to Magic Sands beach and snacks at Magics Beach Grill. Parking was easy. The lanai has a view of the ocean and feels very private with all the greenery right outside. Some of our friends stayed in downtown Kona for the race and we were grateful to be away from all the craziness but still close to the action. We got parked in at one point and I contacted Knutson and they got back to me almost immediately. No other issues. The unit is bright and cozy, not too fancy but very functional. It was great to have some beach gear including snorkels, chairs, and an umbrella.

The condo was exactly as advertised in the pictures and felt even more spacious in person. Great value, great location. Very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our family of 4. We also enjoyed the pool area quite a bit during our stay and everyone we encountered was very friendly. Location was perfect. Unexpected hit was the connect four game in the condo, we could not get enough and probably played a couple hundred rounds. It was the extra little something that will make this trip more memorable. Highly recommend and it deserves 5 stars.

This was a really nice little condo. It is set back a bit from the road, but the complex itself is right across from Magic Sands beach. It's a really quick walk! Downtown Kona with lots of restraunts and shops (including things like Target and walmart) is only about 15 minutes away. The condo was clean when we arrived. They had lots of beach gear - cooler, umbrella, 4 chairs, snorkeling equipment, etc. The beds were very very firm, but not too bad. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials. There are some things that need to be updated or fixed. It is a little bit of an older unit so you can see some of the wear and tear. We did not have any issues with bugs or smells or anything like that and overall it was a nice stay. My suggestion would be to get either a vacuum or a new broom and a mop so it's easier to clean while staying there. The broom provided had definitely seen better days.

Master bed was a bed from **** I got my right leg from knee to ankle hitting the boards getting into bed.No small chair to set on to dress in bed rooms.Kitchen ok but problem with sink faucet leak, refrigerator issues with ice.Living Room furniture from **** no support sink to bottom can’t get up.No extra chair but desk. I will let my sister say the rest.I personally will never rent something of the type of lodging.

There were multiple issues with this rental: the couch and couch pillows had to be covered with beach towels due to odor, mirrors in both bathroom were peeling, items in the showers have rust on them, cupboard doors don't shut, multiple cupboard doors have peeling paint, one bedroom with fan could not be adjusted with controller; had to be unplugged, shower pan very stained, table on lanai had to be sprayed by us to kill infestation of ants and lastly, cockroaches in the bathroom. For the money paid, the unit should not be rented until updated. The grounds were sufficient as was the pool area. I would not recommend this unit to anyone.

We really enjoyed our stay at White Sands Village. The condo was on the 2nd floor, near the elevator, offering two bedrooms and two baths. The condo was clean, mostly upgraded and comfortable for our family of three. The bathrooms were dated but functional (nicer rugs and some paint for the rusting fixtures and tub area would make them more comfortable). The condo offered everything we needed for cooking, relaxing and enjoying Hawaii. The condo has AC but that's not needed since there's a security door (major bonus) that allows you to open the back patio and front door for a great breeze. The onsite staff was nice as well as the owners and full time residents.As vaction rental owners, I would recommend this place. It deserves 5 stars.

Reviewer Comments:
Our unit was adequate but definitely needs work. Towels and linens were shabby and furniture was limited. We were especially bothered by the lack of lighting — no reading or task lighting. Master closet was packed with junk so we had to move things around to even hang anything in it. Needs updating.
