Close proximity to the beach, BBQ grills, and tennis/pickle ball. Parking and elevator.

Joshua was very welcoming! He was super on communication! His unit was a perfect location for accessing beaches, points of interest, dining, and tours. The unit itself had everything needed for a stress-free stay. From lots of towels and beach towels, to binoculars, to paper products, to cooler bags, to beach chairs, boogie boards and other beach toys, this unit had it all! There was even a welcoming box of chocolate macadamia nuts and a bag of Kona coffee. Joshua was a super host and if future travels bring us back to the Big Island, we would definitely stay here again. The assigned parking spot was an added bonus!

Great complex that maintained privacy in a busy area. Close to the beach and great snorkeling. Any questions we had were promptly answered by rental management Casago Kona

Very clean, close to a nice beach, well stocked with lots of towels, shampoo and conditioner, laundry detergent. The lanai had a nice view and was quiet. Beds were comfortable. Would stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful condo. It is attractively and comfortably furnished, and it included absolutely everything we needed, and much more. The location was perfect - right across the street from Magic Sands Beach. We had a lovely view from the lanai. The onsite amenities were great too, including pool, tennis courts, sauna, pool table, and grill kitchen. We really appreciated that the owner sent very clear information in advance, so we felt fully prepared for our stay. It was hard to leave after having such a nice time. We would gladly stay here again in the future.

Good: Very clean, nice layout & lots of deck. Kitchen was well equipped, beds were a little soft but were still comfy. Location was great, close to everything!Not so good: House has a funny layout. We had the top floor which was fine but the walls didn't go all the way to the ceiling. So when someone got up in the middle of the nite to use the bathroom, turns on the light & it shone into the bedrooms.

This condo is dark & uncomfortable. It is managed by Coldwell Banker Island Vacations, who didn't respond to my concerns until our last day there. We left early because we slept so poorly on the foam pad they offered as a mattress in the master bedroom. The shower in the master bath was a joke. You can't open the shades in either bedroom because they look right out on the hall where neighbors are walking by. The living and dining room furniture is not at all comfortable, so our family wasn't able to enjoy time in the evenings together. The condo association has 20 pages of rules. You have to sign up to use the barbeque grill, & only one of the three was operational. The chlorine smell from the pool was so strong we never attempted to enter it. The only reason I gave this two stars instead of one is because it has a good location across the road from magic sands beach, and things were in working order.

This condo was more than expected. You fall in love with the comfort of this well taken care of and appointed condo the second you walk in. The location and area are perfect to walk across to the beautiful Magic Sand beach, you forget yo bring something down to the beach, no problem it’s a 1 minute walk back to the condo. The building is well built and very soundproof, we never heard anything from all sides, top to bottom. The owners were great to deal with and quick to respond. We will put this on our favourite list and come back for sure.

Great host! Great amenities! Great location! Was perfect for our family of 5. Our teenage son loved sleeping on the futon on the lanai each night. We did a lot of cooking at the rental and the kitchen had plenty of tools/pans/utensils that allowed us to do so with ease. Definitely recommend!

We had a wonderful 2 weeks at White Sands. The condo was very well appointed with everything we needed. We like to eat in so having a well equipped kitchen was a bonus. Beds were comfortable, ceiling fans in each room. The weather was perfect to keep the sliders opened each night to listen to the sounds of the ocean across the street. All our meals were on the balcony.The bonus of a great washer and dryer meant all clean clothes. It's impossible to describe how beautiful the sunsets were each night. It was very very hard to pull the door shut on the last day. Thanks Joanne for being such a great host. Mahalo

Great communication with this host. Very easy check-in process with a keyless entry - this was good for us as we arrived at 10 at night. Super location within an easy walk to the Magic Sands Beach and just a little south of downtown Kona which is nice to get away from the crowds. The lanai faces a pretty area of vegetation with lots of birds and a you can see a small sliver of ocean, which was a bonus as we weren't expecting any ocean view. Lots of beach gear on the lanai, thick beach towels in the condo, even some sunscreen available. They have ice bricks in the freezer and a water filter pitcher in the fridge. Everything was spotless and clean and in excellent condition. The beds were super comfortable with lots of pillows, plenty of towels in the bathrooms, and a brand new washer & dryer. This property is very well cared for and loved - and it shows. We appreciated all the little touches and extras - of the 7 properties we stayed at during our trip, this one was our favorite. :-) I have absolutely nothing negative to say!

Everything was great! The directions to the condo, inside the complex weren't completely clear, but after about 5 minutes of driving, we found our parking space and our condo. Our host was easily reached for questions and was informative and friendly. The condo is in a perfect location: close to beaces and many restaurants. The condo was perfectly stocked, clean and comfy. We loved the balcony which we used every morning for breakfast and every evening to relax. The view: one way was the ocean and the other direction were the mountains. We didn't use the beautiful pool or BBQ area, but both were great clean spaces.We were traveling with 4 adults and we used the provided boogie boards, snorkling gear, noodles and beach mats. It was a great 4 night stay!

Great views from the top floor space! 10 min walk to magic sands beach the pool looked nice but we didn’t try it out (too chilly for us in January). Only complaint was that the afternoon sun made it HOT in the evenings with no shades in the massive windows. Word of caution, the room walls don’t go to the ceiling so it can be loud, and at night any light on will keep the whole place lit up. Overall it was a great place to spend a few days on the Kona side.

This house is fun and in a great location with a local islander vibe. Fantastic view from the third story lanai and beautiful cooling ocean breezes whisping through this uniquely designed cutie ( of course when you open the wall of doors). We lacked for nothing onsite. Everthing was easy and in good shape. We particularly appreciated that usable, unopened food could be left for the local food bank. Nice touch! Communication was also lightning fast. Aloha!

A fantastic apartment with everything needed for a great stay. The furniture was all comfortable, the balcony overlooks the attractive pool/bbq area, the kitchen is comprehensively fitted out with quality equipment. The condo is directly across the road from a cultural site and a stunning swimming beach with great waves. We have loved this stay!

The place is very well organized with dishes and everything you need. The location is great and the view from the balcony is breathtaking! A couple of things to note are that there's no AC in the unit and the fans are just not enough, the mattresses are sinking, and the walls don't get all the way to the ceiling which means that every time someone turns on the light somewhere, even in the hallway outside your unit, you have light where you sleep. The bathroom main door didn't have a lock. We also found unusual the owner's request to strip the linen and start a load of washing machine as part of the checkout procedure, especially in light of the cleaning fees which were already included in the price. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

The location is fabulous, the unit is comfortable, host was responsive. Would have been a 5-star experience if there weren’t the minor annoyances with broken items in the unit (coffee maker, dryer, beach items, etc). I’d rate this an 4.8 and a little upgrading of those little things would go a long way. The unit was otherwise well-equipped, clean, close to town, and being right there at the beach was amazing! Soaked in the hot tub every evening, snorkeled at the beach, and we were visited by a flock of parrots every morning. Overall an enjoyable stay and a great find.

This rental was amazing - fantastic access to the beach, a nice pool and barbeque area, and a well equipped condo with an awesome lanai with pool and beach views. Everything was in great working order and clean in the apartment. Having a Chromecast and Google speaker was a great touch! There were lots of great condition beach items that we enjoyed (boogie boards, beach chairs, etc). The location was also great, with quick access to town and great snorkeling. A perfect stay for a family with tweens.

We’ve stayed in White Sands Village a number of times and this was our favourite unit! Close to the beach, great view and all of the amenities were in good condition. Best of all, though, was that the kitchen was stocked with the essentials - spices, condiments, etc. So often there’s nothing and we have to throw out half used ingredients.

Great location with all amenities as described. Mild confusion with initial check in but otherwise great place to stay on the Big Island!

Great place for our family of 4. Awesome view of the ocean and central location to a lot of things we wanted to do... we mostly just sleep there but having a house instead of just a hotel room made it feel like home.

This unit is amazing. Very clean and everything you need is available in the unit. The view was great but most of all the location. Right across the street from magic sands beach. The sun sets were some of the best we have seen in our lifetimes. Host was great. We will be back to this location again.

Welcoming host. Walking distance to magic (white) sands beach. Host was responsive, access to the space was very easy. We would definitely stay here again! Couple with 10 year old celebrating son’s birthday. He loved the recliner chair, the boogie boards, the game of LIFE, and his own room with the different color lights.

The apartment had everything we needed for a perfect vacation stay. I stayed with my mom, dad, and my two kids, and it was ideal for our extended family. The owners are incredibly caring—they provided all the essential hygiene items, clean and new bed linens, and even beach supplies. We truly felt at home. Thank you so much for everything. I highly recommend this apartment for families with children.

My wife, adult son and I really enjoyed this rental. As described in the VRBO description, it is conveniently located across the street from a very nice beach with a lifeguard, bathrooms and outdoor showers as well as a nice restaurant that has a great sunset view. Beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, boogie boards were included. We found the list of amenities as described in the VRBO description to be accurate. The unit was clean, nicely furnished, and the views from the huge wrap-around porch were great, both day and night. The grounds are nicely landscaped and very well maintained. Joshua the host was very responsive and helpful when I had a couple of questions. I would definitely recommend this rental to others.
