Overall comfortable stay, literally across the beach, beach was beautiful with calm, would definitely stay again, the coffee was very much appreciated, wish there was a toaster but they did have a toaster oven and maybe one extra roll of paper towel. Condo had everything for a nice family vacation, costco and walmart 20 min drive. Hope to come back again

The view of the beach is great as shown, but it does get pretty noisy during the day and evening. Washer broke and a fix attempt was made but it didn’t work so we had dirty stinky clothes for most of the trip. Lots of roaches which I think is common is Hawaii but not any less disturbing. Would not recommend or rent again.

What a great condo. Loved the location-8 min drive to Kailua Kona for dinner and shopping. Loved the beach across the street and the pool. Condo was SO well appointed with everything we could ever need.

Check in/out were easy, location was excellent, space was great, price was good, and host was responsive. Really everything was good except there were bugs. This just may be expected with breezy oceanfront properties that aren’t new, but we had small gnats and ants and caught a cockroach.

It was a great property, very comfortable and well maintained. The only snag we ran into was that the code provided didn't work, delaying check in, but it was resolved in a reasonable time.

We have been with VRBO for at least 30 years. Over 20 rentals during this time.This was close to the very best as far as the location, ample supplies, cleanliness, decor, service, and generalatmosphere in this nice condo.
June 2025
We were very please with this condo. The bedrooms were great, and every time we thought “I wonder if she has this” we found it. It is directly across from Magic Sands beach which was wonderful. We would walk down in the morning, come back for lunch and a break, and walk back down in the late afternoon. I would definitely consider staying there again if I returned.

Great rental. Had everything we needed for a week on the beach with 2 teens. Cooler, boogie boards, beach towels, chairs, snorkel gear. Pickleball court was a fun bonus. Very clean!

Our family enjoyed our stay at White Sands Village. The condo is in a great location. We loved being able to walk to the beach and the excellent restaurant, Magics Beach Grill, was a nice surprise. We were also very close to a beach area known for its snorkeling and it was convenient to shopping and the grocery store. The condo was clean, the beds were comfortable, the patio was spacious and a great place for evening drinks and relaxing. The condo was well stocked with kitchen items and all you need for a fun day at the beach. We would highly recommend this condo for your big island trip.

Loved how close it was to beach. Thank you for the beach towels to use. Having a washer and dryer was more useful than we anticipated. Thank you. Door combo lock was flaky; usually didn’t open until second or third attempt. Very steep driveway and tight parking space.

We were very happy with this condo, which we selected after considerable research (condo complex floor plan, orientation with respect to sunsets, etc.). The location, away from the street and pool, fit our desires. As advertised, we woke to the sounds of birds (mostly exotic doves) and a great view. It was well furnished and had tasteful art. It accommodated occasional visits from our family, who were staying nearby. The plumbing and air conditioning worked fine. We cannot comment on the TV, as we never used it. Beach chairs, snorkeling gear, tennis rackets and pickleball paddles were available. It was convenient to be able to get to the condo without having to deal with stairs (we had rolling luggage, groceries, and beach gear). The one worry we had about our June visit was that the south-facing lanai would be sunny in the afternoon; the summer sun sets quite far north so the lanai was shaded most of the time. It had the feeling of a home away from home, rather than a property designed to generate income. Kelly was always available and responded quickly.

This home had more than any vacation rental ive ever stayed in. The hoat obviously cares for their guests. We were given early check in. The beds are extremely comfortable which never happens. The pillows are premium and new. The house has 2 large coolers, several tommy bahama umbrellas and chairs, boogie boards, beach toys, lots of snorkel equipment. The wifi is wifi 6, super high speed. The tv in the main area is a very large LG smart tv. The washer and dryer units are stacked LG thin-q, with enough tide pods to last you the whole trip. The fridge had 20 or so waters already in there to help us get through our first several days. The shower is large, and very high pressure. The bathrooms have actual hand soap, not the crappy bar soap that you get everywhere. The parking spot is covered, and 5 steps from the elevator. This place oozes convenience, and we were all blown away. If you're on the fence, just book it. I promise you wont regret it.

Worst experience ever. Traveled with 2 kids and 2 elderly people, after checking in found that the property was never cleaned after previous guests left. I wouldn't live in these conditions even if you pay me. But it was 9pm and owner offered a refund for that night and also offered to clean that unit next day or move to another one next to it. We told him we want to move another unit next day. When we came back around 9pm next day and contacted owner for the lock code, he didn't respond. So we had to stay in the same dirty unit for another night. The owner apologized next day and told that he is on different time zone. But only refunded first night's base cost. This is as bad it gets. Also, the second day a housekeeper came and apologized but told us that she was never notified that she needs to clean this unit the previous day, so it seems it is clearly the owner's fault. We submitted complaint to Vrbo after 2nd night's incident and they offered us full refund but eventually refunded only fees and notified that the rest needs to come from the owner which I haven’t received after 2 weeks.

The condo was perfect for our week and a half stay! Right across from Magic Sands Beach. The condo had beach chairs, an umbrella, and some toys that were perfect for our stay. Joanne was very helpful with any questions I had for our stay. I would definitely stay here again!

This condo is across the street from the beach plus has one of the nicest pools in Kona. We also enjoyed the pool table and pickleball. We especially appreciated a working ice maker which seems to be rare in many rentals. The people at the beach can be loud, but we used the provided fans to block out any noise at night. Highly recommend this place!!

The good: The location was amazing. Across the street from a nice beach. Snorkeling 2 minutes drive up the road. Either direction has shopping. Close to many tourist attractions. Very nice restaurant accros the street. The pool and hot tub are great. Nice grilling area. Kona beachfront is amazing. Overall a great stay. The bad: cleanliness needs help, very dusty, stained pillows, nothing major but was noticeable that cleaners don't put much effort in. A/C won't go below 72. Communication with management company was not very good leading up to our stay, though it was better after check-in. Overall, we would definitely recommend and we would stay again. We throughly enjoyed using this condo as home base for a weeklong adventure in beautiful Kona.

Thank you for opening up your space to my family and allowing up to call this gem home for the long weekend! When we arrived my family and I had so much fun exploring and finding all the amenities around the home-- all ohhs, ahhs, and awws. We had breakfast outside on the patio and dinner as a family around the dining room table. The cleaners have a great eye for detail; the home was very tidy when we arrived, looked just like the photos. Thank you for the memories!

This was the 2nd time staying at this lovely condo, which I think demonstrates our liking for this property. It has everything we need, is across the street from an excellent beach (sunsets every night), and is easy access to everywhere else you want to go. It is far enough back that you don't hear any traffic or beach noisiness. The kid loved the pool and everything else at the condo (lizards and snails around the grounds).We will certainly look to stay here again when we come back.

I wanted to find a place close enough for my parents to be able to walk to the beach every day while I was out exploring the island with my kids. The location is great - the beach is literally across the street. The balcony is huge, and my daughter actually spent the entire week using the balcony as her personal bedroom - slept there every night. Both bathrooms are perfect, kitchen is fully stocked and has all the amenities, beds are comfortable. The pool is 8ft deep and very big, the hot tub is perfect temperature, multiple Webber grills available at all times for patrons to grill their food on. There was everything one could possibly need for a nice smooth vacation experience. If I ever go back to Kona, I would definitely stay at this location again!

My husband, 9 yr old daughter and I greatly enjoyed our stay at this White Sands Village condo.We loved the location being right across the street from the beach. We made use of the beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler, which was great for the beach. The beach has a large swell when we were there, so we didn't go in too deep as there were a lot of boogie boarders and the current was strong, but we still had lots of fun. It was also nice that the beach had a lifeguard. We also greatly enjoyed the pool at the unit when my daughter decided there was too much sand at the beach!The unit itself was nice and well equipped. The balcony was quite large and also had a ceiling fan. The unit had air conditioning, which we made use of and kept things cool.The only thing we didn't care for was the location of the parking spot. It was a bit of a trek to the unit and although there is an elevator, stairs are unavoidable, so bringing our luggage and groceries in was a bit of a pain.That said, overall we really enjoyed the unit and I thought the pricing was very good for the area. We would highly recommend and would definitely stay again if we wanted to enjoy beach and pool time

We have been to the Big Island before so we were not looking to do a lot of sightseeing. We rented a car for one day and used the free public transportation (Trolley) when we needed to go anywhere! The location of this condo was perfect with stops very close to the condo.The condo was very clean and very well stocked with everything! We have stayed at several VRBOs and never had one that provided so many supplies such as storage containers, Ziplock bags, shampoo, conditioner & body wash!!! And of course all of the necessary kitchen appliances, dishes and utensils!The complex was perfect! BBQ, pool table and pool! The grounds were very well maintained and we felt very safe there.We highly recommend this unit and look forward to staying there again!

Wonderful rental on Alii Drive just across the Magic Sands beach. Great view of the sunset from the balcony and hearing the ocean waves. We were well informed and appreciate the timely communication. The place is prefect for our family. One bedroom for hubby and I and the kids shared the 2 twin bed room. Two bathroom is very convenient. We only ate breakfast at the condo but the kitchen is well stocked with appliances, itensils and dishes you can possibly need. The living room area is a great place to just relax after a long day of exploring. The balcony is spacious for us and we made use of the beach chairs, umbrella, boogie board and toys. We used the pool and hot tub a few times and it was wonderful.the condo and property are all well maintained. It felt really private and quiet for us. I do appreciate having an elevator when we have to haul our luggages and the beach stuff. It was great to be back at the Big Island and this place just made our stay even better! Thank you!

We stayed for a week in March/April and had a really wonderful time. The location was so perfect - magic sands beach across the street was a constant fun-filled beach with body surfable waves and sea turtles every single day. The pool and jacuzzi were lovely when we needed a break from the crowd. We really appreciated the snorkeling gear and beach chairs that were at the apartment and used them most days. The beds were comfortable and the apartment had everything we needed. We highly recommend!
