Amazing view on the ocean from the balcony and a great restaurant on the other side of the street. Close to grocerie stores and other shops. The appartement was very well equipped. AC and fans were working well. Beds were very comfortable. Overall our stay was very enjoyable.

The location was great! We loved the view from our patio and the fact that we could walk across the street to the beach and the restaurant. Close to the Kona village shops too. Don't expect anything "fancy" but the place had everything we needed. The photos show an old tennis court, but it was recently resurfaced and lines for pickleball. The unit came with all the equipment, including snorkeling gear. We would stay there again.

It is 24 stairs to get to the first floor and the elevator wasn't working to the first floor!
However, we loved the being right across the street from the beach. It was fun to watch the kids boogie board and play. The sunsets from the wraparound balcony were the best. The condo was large, clean, and super well appointed.
There is everything you need including: beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, and even sunscreen and insect repellant!
It was lovely having a washer and dryer! We got soaked on our rainforest ATV ride and the day we went to the volcano. This amenity allowed us to take care of our dirty, wet clothing and the big bonus was were able to bring only our carry-on luggage because the unit was so well equipped. They provide all the paper products you need and all the laundry and kitchen soaps.
Being on the Main Street you have
a lot of noise starting about 6:00am with the kids on the beach, the buses running, and the pickup trucks with boom boxes cruising past. This is the Main Street kid cruise! That is the trade off for the stellar location. We loved being so close to everything.
The rental agreement they send you after you book is a little daunting! They just want you to take care of their property which is understandable. Be aware the property is well-loved and isn't new; but you'll love staying here.
We appreciated the quick management response.
This unit's driveway is directly across from the Magic Sands sign.

Perfect location to enjoy the ocean view, and sunset, and put our toes in the sand. There is a great surfing spot just down the road(banyans) and a restaurant with amazing food and views right across the street. We fell in love with the lanai! Everything needed for the beach was provided and thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this unit. The kids loved the pool too and the BBQ was used quite often.

The location is awesome! Condo is fantastic. You can watch all of the action and head over to the ocean as much as desired. Our favorite beach across the street. The management company was very responsive and helpful when we had any questions. Thank you!!

Great location and nice property. Hiding the air conditioning from paying guests is pretty low though. It is advertised as having air. To put the picture over the thermostat to prevent others from using made us sleep with windows open and it is quite loud. The first 3 days were miserable at night until my youngest read in the guestbook that air was hidden.

The unit is in an excellent location, but it is very rundown inside. It was clean, except for the dishes. Every single dish I pulled out had food and grease on it! And the thermostat is hidden behind a picture, which is very sneaky. The unit is listed as having central air, yet the thermostat is hidden in the hopes that it won’t be used, not nice.

The condo felt like home right away. The location and views were unbeatable. We were three ladies looking for a relaxing getaway. Liked the patio views of busy beach and surf. Located right beside the free trolly service to shopping and sights. Restaurant n coffee across the street as well.

Spent 2 weeks here during the Iron man race week. Great fun. A bit far out from the town centre for one of our party to walk to but the bus service was hourly and plenty of parking for the rental car.

The place was spacious and the balcony was fantastic. I am so glad we stayed on the south side of the city, which made trips to the south end of the island shorter. I would definitely stay in this unit again.

We had a really great time. When we first arrived my husband was a little leery with no ac, but you don’t need one with the wonderful ocean breeze. It was great knowing we were coming back from a long day at the beach knowing we had a parking spot. Only one thing that I would change is the toilet seat in the second bathroom which is cracked in 2 places and we hated using it 😳

Great morning and afternoon views from lanai of Magic Sands beach. Great location. Some accommodations are dated and need updating. Toilet seats cracked and floors needed to be better cleaned prior to our arrival. We really didn’t use the condo for more than sleeping so it was fine. Could get a little lively down at Magic Sands late into the evening but that wasn’t too big of a deal. We enjoyed our stay.

incredible view of the ocean and beach area just across the street. Very nicely furnished with plenty of room to move around with a family of 6. Very clean and filled with more than enough kitchenware to cook up a storm. MAJOR ISSUES, hot as can be with out air conditioning. If you leave the windows and sliding doors opened, you can hear the cars racing and revving their engines or just the party goers on the beach until 4:30 in the morning or maybe that's when I finally fell asleep after thinking I should just throw eggs down there in hopes that they shut up. Some sketch peeps on the beach with police having come out 2 or 3 times while we were there.
