Absolutely beautiful beachfront! The location was perfect for us. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet, laid back vacation spot. I’m sad to leave it. The waves are quite loud which we enjoyed each evening. Mahalo.

My family and my sisters family truly enjoyed our stay. The pool area and lanai were our gathering spots. Great location, short walk to Majic sands beach. The house was extremely clean and well taken care of. The host was attentive to all our needs, great communication. Highly recommended.

Reviewer Comments:
Pros - good location, clean, well stocked kitchenCons - very small, stains on bed cover, terrible water pressure, door knob would come off in our hand, tiny bed although there is room for a larger one, uncomfortable furniture, very dark outside - some light bulbs just needed to be changed, but nonethe less, the lighting was inadequate to the point that we could not see the numbers on the keypad in the evening. It's old, but if the owner was inclined to make improvements there are simle things that would achieve this.

Host was good. Stove not good only one burner worked. Location was great close to everything. Beach like 30 steps away.

Very clean. There was a lot of beach stuff (chairs, boogie boards, etc…), though we didn’t use it. Easy beach access, beautiful view. Easy to check in/out.

This condo would get 5 stars if I hadn’t been locked out on day 1. I got numerous lengthy emails with too much info. I had to book a hotel room for my 1st night. But VRBO did reimburse that bill. They also gave me a large credit to use in the future. It was Xmas eve so the owner wasn’t answering phone calls and emails regarding me sitting on a curb for 6 hours. VRBO made it right.

We had a wonderful stay at this vacation rental. Falling asleep to the sound of ocean waves and waking up to that incredible view was truly unforgettable—absolutely the highlight of our trip. The location is fantastic and made it easy to relax and enjoy everything the area has to offer. While the property could benefit from a deeper clean in some areas, it didn’t take away from an overall great experience. We would happily stay here again for the views, the atmosphere, and the unbeatable location.

The unit is gorgeous! It’s been recently remodeled by the owner and it really shines. The sliding doors let in the perfect amount of ocean noise to lull you to sleep, and make for a perfect breakfast view. It’s truly steps from Magic Sands beach and the Magics Bar and Grill. I highly recommend this spot and would happily stay again!

Great location. Clean. Host was responsive in solving a problem with water heater. Bed was comfortable and air conditioning was excellent. We loved having a beach and park just a few steps away. Cons: water heater difficulties, coudn't work the TV, internet signal was very weak therefore unusable, toilet paper supply inadequate for one week.

The condo is in a perfect spot, right next to a popular restaurant and beach, and only a few mile from downtown Kona. The view and sounds of the ocean right out from the lanai are superb.

Our stay was fabulous! The studio was spotless and beautifully decorated with everything we needed to prepare meals in the kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning coffee and sunset happy hour on the lanai, overlooking the ocean with the occasional glimpse of dolphins right in front of us. We look forward to returning!

Jan was very communicative and the condo was exactly as described. She had everything you could need for a week on the Big Island. We took advantage of the mini cooler on day trip, the snorkel gear, the beach towels & chairs next door, and spent every morning on the lanai with our coffee. She also had a fully stocked kitchen to cook anything, including seasonings. The waves were loud and the best sound to fall asleep to every night and wake up to every morning. Location was also great for anything in Kona, or getting around the island. Would absolutely stay here again! Mahalo for an amazing time in Hawaii!

The host was great. The beautiful crashing waves were amazing.the view was spectacular!! The only inconvenience was there were only shades on half the windows & on one lg slider, we watched the shade separate from the roll & fall to the floor.(looked like the glue gave out). Bc of that, even with A/C, it got way too warm & uncomfortable in the condo. Overall, the view made up for it!! Thank you so much. We had a great vacation!

The host was welcoming. Location, location, location. The studio condo is connected to Magic Sands Grill and a beautiful white sand beach. Beach gear provided, 2 low back beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, and snorkeling gear.

We loved the property & it’s waterfront view! The proximity to Magic Sands beach and Magics Beach Grill next door was convenient as well! It was in a family friendly area where my In-Laws stayed nearby. This VRBO made our Kona, HI stay feel Great!

We were fortunate enough to stay here one day after the remodel was complete and we were blown away. We were already content with the studio with the existing pictures, but wow, the remodel is fabulous! When I say you can't beat the view!? I mean, what more could you want than sipping your morning coffee while watching the spinner dolphins put on a show? The place was very clean, the AC unit worked great in my opinion (I even got chilly at night, and I'm a hot sleeper). Could not be more conveniently located to the beach. If you get a chance to stay here, do it!!

Beach view was good. One minor complaint: Air Cond was not effective. Very hot in the room. Rocky beach was scenic but had to leave the doors open and too noisy as a result. Just up the air cond and it would be great.

Location next to Magic Sands beach was a plus. The room was clean and the floor to ceiling windows made it feel like we were outside. Beautiful sunsets from the condo. There is no elevator, but we were ok walking up the stairs. There is also no oven, but we went out to eat in the evenings, so we were ok with that. Air conditioning worked well. There is no separation between the bed and the living area. We enjoyed our stay, falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing in at night.

I will give 7 star to the location. Next door is Beach, park and restaurant. We show dolphins from our room in the morning and for two days in a row. Room is good for 3 person. Host were nice and had good communication through out. Price was right compare to other properties or resort. I will definitely recommend this place for stay in kona. Thanks.

This condo is great! The location couldn't be better, attached to a nice beach, close to many others. The restaurant on premises was so convenient and also good food.
The condo was very comfortable, surprisingly specious, very clean, and had lots of thoughtful amenities - including everything you need for a day at the beach! The owner was also very kind and quick to respond when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location with crashing waves and fish viewing from the room (yup, could see the fish in the waves). Windows and sliding glass doors on alll the view sides. Nice breeze (never even used the a/c, didn't need it) Condo in great condition. Everything we needed. Good location to get to places moderately easily. Thanks. We'll be back if we make it to the big island again

Great spot for convenience around Kailua, and the waves rocked us to sleep every night. We saw fish surfing in the waves which was pretty amazing. The condo is perfect for a couple looking to relax.
