when we walked in the property, it was not cleaned and it was in the same state the previous people left it. Had to unfortunately book an hotel end time with surcharge pricing. The owner and vrbo support was not helpful. Overall frustating experience!

We’ve stayed in many hotels and resorts but this is the first condo we’ve booked. Attention to detail was very much appreciated, such as power bars with USB ports next to the beds, luggage racks, laundry baskets and night lights in the bathrooms. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, dishes, spices, ice packs, plastic containers, ziplock bags, etc. plus there were coolers and beach chairs. The condo was exactly as shown in the pictures. We picked this complex because of the beach across the street and everyone agreed it was a perfect location.

Beautiful condo! Well appointed Kitchen. Amazingly responsive hosts. Felt at home immediately. Beach chairs, boogie boards and things to play on the beach with! Loved eating on the Lanai. Magic sands beach is beautiful! Close to Walmart, Costco and delicious restaurants! However we mostly ate at the condo since the kitchen was beautiful and had everything in it you needed to cook! Used it as our home base and traveled all over the island! We will definitely come back!!

Love the location. Joshua's is incredibly responsive to our questions and requests. Only downside was the air conditioning for a couple days was low on refrigerant so the condos warm. But Joshua took care of that. Furniture in the condo is a bit outdated. But the location compensated for that.

We had a great stay at this condo! Perfect location for us with two teenagers as they were able to come and go to the beach and the pool without needing to be transported. Being right across the street from the beach also meant we did not have to pack lunches and all the “stuff”. We could enjoy the water and just walk back as needed. Beautiful location and we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony watching the water and the sunsets.

My family and I stayed here for 2 weeks this summer. First, we had an amazing time! The condo is large, well maintained, clean, stocked with plenty of beach and pooand the location and view are incredible! Morning coffee and evening cocktails on the lanai with a beautiful ocean view! Doesn't get much better!Joanne, the owner is also great!. She is very easy to communicate with, and very understanding and accomodating. I would highly recommend staying in this unit when visiting Kailua Kona, and will definitely be coming back!

Very convenient and clean, and most of all, Stewart and Karen made it a breeze for travelers by providing some of the necessities needed. This really sets them apart from other accommodations I've stayed at, as it made a big difference in the overall experience

Check in was easy. The condo was immaculate. It was filled with all the necessities needed for a great vacation. There were beach towels, chairs, snorkeling gear and so much more. Although they have beach shoes in assorted sizes, it’s wise to bring your own. The condo is quiet and has air conditioning and ceiling fans if you need them. It is situated across the street from a great beach. It’s close to everything but far enough away so not overwhelmed with tourists! With two king size beds and two bathrooms, it is a perfect unit for two couples or a family with children. We would definitely stay here again. The communication with owners was excellent.

An absolute gem that over looks Magic Sands Beach Park. The unit is recently remodeled and loaded with everything you need. We spent all our time here either on the balcony, at the beach, or pool. We didn’t play tennis or pickleball buts the courts are new. We stayed here for six nights and the time absolutely flew by. We have stayed all over Hawaii and this is one of the best spots. Just a note that they call it “Magic Sands” for a reason. When we stayed the beach was wide and full of white sand, a few days after we left there was high surf and it pulled the sand back out. Which makes the rocky entry a bit more challenging. Also a favorite local pastime is to cruise Alli Drive with some serious tunes blasting at all hours. It makes for the best people watching during the day but at night I would put in ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Overall this place is the perfect Kona hangout spot. When we make it back to Kona this will be the first unit we check for availability. 10/10 Recommend!

The pictures of the property are not accurate of the top unit. The pics are of the 2nd floor unit. In the top unit, there are no floor to ceiling walls, so there is no privacy in bedrooms. All though the place has 3 lanai glass doors the view is of 2 houses in the front, which means those 2 houses have a clear view of the inside of the top view because there are no curtains.

This is a really lovely unit. Redone well, beautiful view, solid internet, beach easy. The premises are very easy to navigate. Parking was simple and instructions were clear. It’s clearly someone’s home. I would have given 5 stars but it needs a more vacationer friendly vibe. A few examples, the bathroom for the secondary room has a broken toilet paper holder and towel holder. There were only 4 beach towels. In the kitchen there was only one dish towel and no dish rack for non dishwasher safe items like pots and pans. The coffee maker leaks. There isn’t a welcome package with details on the rules or small coffee for the first am. I will note that while a welcome package isn’t necessary, we came in very late and couldn’t have stopped for groceries, so no coffee for am would have been welcome and we come to white sands a lot most of the units have a small bag of coffee and some snack for arrival. Towels were scarce in both bathrooms there was literally one roll of toilet paper. Happy to purchase but 1 seems skimpy. There were no extra linens, we stayed for two weeks and spent a lot of time washing linens. Lastly, the code provided did not work upon arrival. As I said it was late, so we waited 40 minutes for someone to get to us. And it happened in the middle of our stay also. The code suddenly stopped working, this time the response was faster but it was during business hours, so only 20 minutes, but not ideal. Anyway, it really is a nice unit.

The condo was very clean, comfortable & beautifully appointed for our family of five. We had plenty of room to spread out & enjoyed relaxing on the lanai after a day at the beach. It had many amenities, including a cute little coffee bar, modern washer, dryer & the AC worked great! To find everything we needed for the beach, including boogie boards, chairs, an umbrella, snorkels & fins, made our stay here even more delightful! Situated right across the street from the magical Magic Sands beach, makes this location a winner!

White Sands Village is perfectly situated just across the street from Magic Sands Beach. Our family spent countless hours playing in the surf, often staying until the sun dipped below the horizon. We loved sipping coffee and cocktails on the balcony and winding down our trip with a peaceful day by the pool. The condo was very clean and felt like a comfortable home base for our family of four.

The place was clean and well stocked as far as kitchen, laundry, and beach accessories. The location was good, across the street from Magic Beach, and not far from all the places in Kona. Check in was simple and the host was responsive when I messaged about a possible late check out. (Side note, I should have checked about a late check out far before the trip, my bad.) The pool, jacuzzi, and outdoor cooking spaces are great. There are a few things that would have improved our experience. First, the towels are terrible and rough like sand paper. Second, this is not a sleep 6, there are beds for 4, an uncomfortable couch (not sofa sleeper) that doesn’t fold out and several air mattresses to choose from that don’t have sheets to fit. We were 5 so we made it happen but not what we were expecting . Third, one of the two beach umbrellas does not have any way to anchor it down, so be prepared to hold it all day. Overall we had a wonderful trip and would stay here again if we were only sleeping 4 or less people.

We spent a week at this condo. The location was so great! It is literally right across the street from magic sand beach. We walked over to the beech and when we were done, there is a hose provided to rinse off before going to the condo. There were beach chairs, snorkels, fins, and umbrellas for use. They also had beach towels available. The condo was clean and plenty spacious for the four of us. It was clean and ready to go when we arrived. The pool, hot tub, and outdoor community kitchen area was a nice bonus. The only negative we had during our stay was the air conditioning was not working properly. The management team was quick to dispatch a repair company and they had it functioning properly in short order. Overall a great stay!

Outstanding location across the street from Magic Sands beach. Wonderful supply of beach gear. Clean, comfortable, well-appointed condo with a well supplied kitchen and bath. Decent views of the beach and the mountains from the lanai. If I ever come back to Kona, I'll stay here -- and tell my friends to do the same.

The property was fully furnished. It had one master bedroom with king size bed and bathroom with a washer and dryer and a second room with 2 twin beds. I didn’t need to go buy anything because everything was provided. The condo is on the second floor. The condominium uses the first floor to park vehicles. The location was great for all the sites I was going to visit.

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.

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.
