Excellent property, parking was easy, gorgeous beaches walking distance. Can see the beach from balcony and I enjoyed watching it with my coffee each morning. Comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. Very nice amenities including pool, spa, and little cooler and beach chairs and some snorkel gear. Just little like this made us feel at home and allowed us to explore the island with comfort and ease. We definitely plan to come back, so don't book when we plan to return

Well positioned property, conveniently located for on site amenities, local beaches and restaurants. The interior was spacious, well furnished and extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with all cooking essentials and supplies. The lanai has an ocean and pool view with three sitting areas, including a dining area we used daily to enjoy the abundant birdlife and natural beauty. The hosts were kind and responsive to questions and special needs. We absolutely plan a return visit! Mahalo!

We loved our stay! Being right across the road from Magic Sands Beach was amazing! We could just walk over so no fighting for parking ever When the surf was calmer we were able to snorkel with turtles and tons of fish right off the beach (even with the sand being almost all gone from a recent storm). The location was very central to all the activities we had planned and we really liked the area as it was a little quieter than the downtown. As for the property itself, it’s well maintained, the bathrooms are a bit dated but the property was nice and clean and we enjoyed using the new appliances. We loved that they provided boogie boards, beach chairs and an umbrella that we used. We also took advantage of their ice packs in the freezer for our cooler (they also provided one) for beach days. The kids actually commented that the beds were extremely comfortable (and the parents agree). Relaxing on the lanai with view of the ocean was a favourite and the kids loved playing pool and swimming in the pool. The host was very kind and even took the time to recommend their favourite beaches. We would definitely book this property again!

This was a great base for our Big Island explorations! The condo was very comfortable and we appreciated the flexibility from the hosts.

Newer beach equipment like snorkels would have been nice.

Our condo was spotless! It was in a great location. We were just across the street from a beach and Park. It was great to be able to pop across the street to watch the sunset over the ocean. The beds were comfortable and the furniture was very clean and nice looking too. I would recommend this place to anyone going to Kona.

This was an absolutely fabulous vacation. It had everything we need. Extremely comfortable and the hosts were amazing. Willing to help if we needed anything during our stay. We didn’t need a thing. It was perfect.

The condo was extremely clean which is our biggest concern when staying places. Location was awesome and amenities were great! Host was very responsive.

We had a great stay and really enjoyed the location, all the stocked items in the kitchen, the lanai and definitely appreciated the AC. The bed in the 2 nd bedroom was made into a king, as we requested. It was not that comfortable as it was two twins together with something in the middle. This made it uncomfortable and convex. We would still return here to stay. As seniors, grab bars in the bathroom would also be nice. They had snorkel equipment along with beach chairs, beach towels and everything we could have needed in the kitchen. Thank you for hosting us!!

Wonderful Stay – Clean, Quiet, and Perfectly Located!I’m a very picky guest when it comes to cleanliness, and this place exceeded my expectations. Everything was spotless. The appliances were all new and in great condition.The location was incredibly quiet, which I truly appreciated. It felt like a peaceful retreat, yet it was just steps away from White Sands Beach. Being able to walk there was a huge plus, especially since parking near the beach is nearly impossible. Just crossing the street and being on the sand in minutes was a dream!Another thoughtful detail was the covered parking. It kept the car cool and shaded. All in all, this stay was exactly what I needed—clean, calm, and convenient. I’d absolutely return!

This property was perfect for a week as a family traveling. We took day trips from here as well as cooked a lot of meals in the space. Everything we needed for a week of holiday. The space and property is grated towards quiet folks (do not stay here if you want late nights or boisterous hangs). We have little kids under 10 so it was great for us. There are rules it be mindful of as you navigate common spaces - definitely read those upon arrival. The condo was in great shape! The lania was facing the pool with a partial view of the ocean. Go out for evening rainbows! We saw several while we were there. Magic sands beach is across the very small road (easy to cross over and safe). We loved the location and easy commute to downtown (8 minute drive) or local eateries. Felt a little less touristy than the downtown area. Highly recommend!

The condo is on a beautiful property. Communication was great.We were in driving distance of awesome beaches. My family enjoyed the pool, hotub and gas grill in the evenings. I am a lap swimmer and there is a 25 yard pool to lap swim free to guests

This was my first time booking vacation all in my own after wife's passing, so I was anxious about making the right choice; I think I nailed it! Super clean with fabulous access to the beach. I loved that it was quiet at night, even during Spring Break!

Very clean and comfortable. The lanai was great, with the exception of tiny ants crawling on the furniture out there. Probably just a little spray will eliminate that. Overall, it was a breath of fresh air.

The condo is across the street from a small beach park called Magic Sands or White Sands Beach. In the winter the sands go away from some time, we are told, and come back a few weeks later. Winter is storm season in the Pacific so the waves can be bigger and more stunning to watch. The condo itself is just as described, lots of helpful items for enjoying the beach are at hand, and the management was very responsive and helpfiul.

Insider tips

Good to know at White Sands

  • In the early morning, Magic Sands across the street is at its calmest for a swim and a look for sea turtles; by afternoon it turns into a boogie board and bodysurf show.
  • For calmer snorkeling, head to Kahalu'u Beach Park about a mile south, where an outer wall settles the water and sea turtles are a common sight.
  • Around sunrise and sunset, the lush, flowering grounds fill with a chorus of birds, mostly doves, and geckos and lizards often turn up among the plants.
