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 place was beautiful. Stunning mountain and ocean views from the condo. It was so tranquil to sip coffee in the morning and then have a sunset dinner on the balcony. Parking was great. Beach access was simple. I would stay there again!

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!

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.

Overall comfortable stay, literally across the beach, beach was beautiful with calm, would definitely stay again, the coffee was very much appreciated, wish there was a toaster but they did have a toaster oven and maybe one extra roll of paper towel.

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.

Check in/out were easy, location was excellent, space was great, price was good, and host was responsive. Really everything was good except there were bugs. This just may be expected with breezy oceanfront properties that aren’t new, but we had small gnats and ants and caught a cockroach.

We were very please with this condo. The bedrooms were great, and every time we thought “I wonder if she has this” we found it. It is directly across from Magic Sands beach which was wonderful. We would walk down in the morning, come back for lunch and a break, and walk back down in the late afternoon. I would definitely consider staying there again if I returned.

Our family enjoyed our stay at White Sands Village. The condo is in a great location. We loved being able to walk to the beach and the excellent restaurant, Magics Beach Grill, was a nice surprise. We were also very close to a beach area known for its snorkeling and it was convenient to shopping and the grocery store. The condo was clean, the beds were comfortable, the patio was spacious and a great place for evening drinks and relaxing. The condo was well stocked with kitchen items and all you need for a fun day at the beach. We would highly recommend this condo for your big island trip.

Loved how close it was to beach. Thank you for the beach towels to use. Having a washer and dryer was more useful than we anticipated. Thank you. Door combo lock was flaky; usually didn’t open until second or third attempt. Very steep driveway and tight parking space.

We were very happy with this condo, which we selected after considerable research (condo complex floor plan, orientation with respect to sunsets, etc.). The location, away from the street and pool, fit our desires. As advertised, we woke to the sounds of birds (mostly exotic doves) and a great view. It was well furnished and had tasteful art. It accommodated occasional visits from our family, who were staying nearby. The plumbing and air conditioning worked fine. We cannot comment on the TV, as we never used it. Beach chairs, snorkeling gear, tennis rackets and pickleball paddles were available. It was convenient to be able to get to the condo without having to deal with stairs (we had rolling luggage, groceries, and beach gear). The one worry we had about our June visit was that the south-facing lanai would be sunny in the afternoon; the summer sun sets quite far north so the lanai was shaded most of the time. It had the feeling of a home away from home, rather than a property designed to generate income. Kelly was always available and responded quickly.

This home had more than any vacation rental ive ever stayed in. The hoat obviously cares for their guests. We were given early check in. The beds are extremely comfortable which never happens. The pillows are premium and new. The house has 2 large coolers, several tommy bahama umbrellas and chairs, boogie boards, beach toys, lots of snorkel equipment. The wifi is wifi 6, super high speed. The tv in the main area is a very large LG smart tv. The washer and dryer units are stacked LG thin-q, with enough tide pods to last you the whole trip. The fridge had 20 or so waters already in there to help us get through our first several days. The shower is large, and very high pressure. The bathrooms have actual hand soap, not the crappy bar soap that you get everywhere. The parking spot is covered, and 5 steps from the elevator. This place oozes convenience, and we were all blown away. If you're on the fence, just book it. I promise you wont regret it.

Worst experience ever. Traveled with 2 kids and 2 elderly people, after checking in found that the property was never cleaned after previous guests left. I wouldn't live in these conditions even if you pay me. But it was 9pm and owner offered a refund for that night and also offered to clean that unit next day or move to another one next to it. We told him we want to move another unit next day. When we came back around 9pm next day and contacted owner for the lock code, he didn't respond. So we had to stay in the same dirty unit for another night. The owner apologized next day and told that he is on different time zone. But only refunded first night's base cost. This is as bad it gets. Also, the second day a housekeeper came and apologized but told us that she was never notified that she needs to clean this unit the previous day, so it seems it is clearly the owner's fault. We submitted complaint to Vrbo after 2nd night's incident and they offered us full refund but eventually refunded only fees and notified that the rest needs to come from the owner which I haven’t received after 2 weeks.

This condo is across the street from the beach plus has one of the nicest pools in Kona. We also enjoyed the pool table and pickleball. We especially appreciated a working ice maker which seems to be rare in many rentals. The people at the beach can be loud, but we used the provided fans to block out any noise at night. Highly recommend this place!!

Thank you for opening up your space to my family and allowing up to call this gem home for the long weekend! When we arrived my family and I had so much fun exploring and finding all the amenities around the home-- all ohhs, ahhs, and awws. We had breakfast outside on the patio and dinner as a family around the dining room table. The cleaners have a great eye for detail; the home was very tidy when we arrived, looked just like the photos. Thank you for the memories!

This was the 2nd time staying at this lovely condo, which I think demonstrates our liking for this property. It has everything we need, is across the street from an excellent beach (sunsets every night), and is easy access to everywhere else you want to go. It is far enough back that you don't hear any traffic or beach noisiness. The kid loved the pool and everything else at the condo (lizards and snails around the grounds).We will certainly look to stay here again when we come back.
