Space was great, magic sands beach across the street is gorgeous but with BIG waves. Better to watch experienced boarders. This was a central great place. There was a full kitchen of pans, bowls knives etc so you don’t have to eat out every meal.

The beach access could not be better & the courtyard grounds & pool were beautiful. The outdoor kitchen/bbq grill area was nice too. The unit was very comfortable & had everything we needed. Thoughtful touches like beach towels, chairs, etc. made it very easy to enjoy from the second we arrived. We would love to come back here & stay again. Highly recommend for a stay in Kona! It was only about a 10-15 min drive to downtown depending on day/time.

Great place with everything you may need for your stay. Loved having Magic Sands beach right across the road, didn’t have to drive anywhere for beach time. Kelly was very responsive for the one small issue we had. Highly recommend.

The place had not been cleaned after the previous guest. There were used towels in the bathroom, the bed was not made. Host was very rude and inconsiderate. He sent the cleaner in the evening. We could not use the place till after 7 pm. Host did not provide any refund or discounts for the inconvenience. Location does not feel very safe. Condo is spacious and has the essentials. Just the cleaning and communication with the host was very dissatisfactory.

The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need and then some. The view of the ocean was excellent and the walk yo the piblic lifeguard beach was just across the street. The pool was very relaxing. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had a great time and it was directly across the street from a beautiful beach and a nice restaurant. I would stay there again. Don’t think I would suggest is if you’re going there bring beach towels there are beach towels that they have are very, very thin.

This was an excellent location for our family of five with three teenagers. The waves at Magic Sands got pretty wild, but we heard that was mostly to do with the impending storm. It was a great location. Super close to a great snorkeling location and wave jumping was a blast. Super cute restaurant close for incredible eats and even better views. Condo was well stocked and they were super accommodating when the storm hit and we needed to extend our stay and have someone help us out after the extended power outage.

The condo was well equipped with a washer and dryer, a nice lanai, necessary beach supplies; chairs, cooler, towels, etc. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and pickleball courts at the facility. We enjoyed a great snorkel beach apx. 1 1/2 miles south. Enjoyed an ATV ride with aloha adventures close by. We also enjoyed shaka tacos a little to the north in a nice shopping area. The owners were very pleasant and responsive.

Kitchen was fully equipped, nice blender for smoothies, toaster, and lots of staples for cooking as well. The deck was nice, and had a side view of the beach as advertised. You are literally right across from Magic Sands beach. The pool was lovely and clean. The cooking area with multiple grills was user friendly and clean.

Had a great stay. The rooms are exactly as described and perfect for our needs. It was clean and quiet (except for the chatty birds). The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need: dishes, pots and pans, I even found a pizza cutter. Nice clean bathrooms and comfy bedrooms with clean linens and soaps.The patio is stocked with everything you need for a great beach day. There are boogie boards, snorkels and fins, noodles, umbrellas, chairs, even towels and a cooler.The unit is a little ways back from the road, which means a few extra steps to the beach, but it's hardly a hassle. The pool area is large and inviting with barbecues, plenty of chairs and tables and there is even a pool table and sauna.Only steps away is Magic Sands beach, which is great for seeing fish and turtles. But beware, I do not recommend trying to boogie board or body surf. The rocks are no joke. Just a mile south is a great beach park for snorkeling, surfing or boogie boarding. Grab a meal at the Magic Sand Grill right there or a lighter bite from their beach window.The only thing I might add is cable or an antenna, only to watch the local weather forecast, but everyday was paradise. Expect the same. You can't go wrong and I would definitely book this unit again.

Condo is a bit dated but clean and comfortable. Beds are especially comfortable. Ocean was visible from the lanai. A nice public beach was a short walk across the street. Pool and BBQ area is very nice and a great place to congregate. Would highly recommend this unit.

We had a great overall stay at this condo in Kona and would definitely consider returning.Pros: The location is fantastic—just a quick 2-minute walk to the beach, which made it incredibly easy to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. The condo itself is very spacious and worked well for our family of four, with plenty of room to spread out. We especially loved the generous lanai space and the abundance of large windows in the living area that brought in lots of natural light. It was also a bonus to have boogie boards and beach chairs available for use. Being so close to the pool was another convenient perk.Cons: While the condo was comfortable, it did feel a bit “tired” in places. A fresh coat of paint and some updated decor could really elevate the space. The bedrooms could also benefit from blackout blinds for better sleep. Trimming back the palm trees would help improve the view—even a small peek of the ocean would make a difference. Lastly, the living room seating wasn’t quite adequate or comfortable enough for our family to fully relax together in the evenings.Overall, this is a well-located, family-friendly condo with great potential—it just needs a few updates to make it truly exceptional.

Nice, quiet, spacious unit right across the street from Magic Sands Beach. Couple miles from Kailua Kona town center area. Nice wraparound porch. Nicely stocked with equipment for boogie boarding, beach days, tennis and Pickleball, and snorkeling. Comfortable beds and good water pressure in showers. Appreciated the Air Conditioning. The unit shows some wear and tear but it was a great home base for our family of four.

We loved our stay at this clean & beautiful island inspired condo, just across from Magic Sands where we enjoyed epic sunsets! Kira was a wonderful host, we found all the extras available in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms, as well as beach & snorkel gear! The pool & hot tub were a great place to relax. Hope we can return soon!

We had a very enjoyable stay at the condo. White Sands Beach is directly across the beach, making daily jaunts to the beach easy. The condo came stocked with loads of beach needs such as snorkeling gear and chairs. The air condition could not be turned down, but after a day, we acclimated well. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the dining area was great!

The unit was fantastic! Very clean and the upgrades and finishes were really nice. Especially the beautiful solid wood doors. This is one of those rare units where you don’t have to worry about coffee filters, salt/pepper, or even soap and shampoo. Very well and thoughtfully stocked. Even a couple of boogie boards and snorkeling sets were available for use. All of that, plus the location and view are great. Highly recommended.

Location was great! Loved the wraparound lanai. The kids liked sleeping on the futon outside. The twin beds were a little uncomfortable for the people sleeping there (too soft). We appreciated the fun closet with beach toys. Check in was a little confusing because we weren't sure how to get to the office at first, but overall it was a fantastic place in a fantastic location. We loved it and would stay there again.

This a great place to stay, we stayed at a few places while in Hawaii and this was my favorite even though it was our most budget friendly. Great location to Magic Sands Beach and appreciated the amenities the property offered. If you have kiddos, you do need to drive to find a beach that has sand/kid friendly. Would highly recommend!

We stayed four nights in this condo, and it was a fantastic experience. The property has safe parking space, quiet garden, a spacious balcony, and beautiful views of both the ocean and the mountains.It is conveniently located near several excellent snorkeling beaches, which made it perfect for our trip. Every morning, we woke up to the sound of birds chirping and enjoyed watching the calm ocean—it was incredibly peaceful.The manager is so friendly and helpful! We felt very comfortable throughout our stay.

This unit at White Sands Village is the nicest we have stayed in on this property. It is well maintained, everything works, towels and linens are fresh. We love the keyless entry door, so much easier than a lock box. Thanks to our hosts Dawneeta and Blair, always responded to questions quickly. Mahalo!
