No need to drive to the beach -- you're right across the street! Just steps away! Enjoy this beautiful 2BR/2BA condo in White Sands Village across the street from White Sand Beach (also known as "Magic Sands Beach.")
*This property is featured on HGTV's Beachfront Bargain Hunt, season 14, episode 9. Stay at the condo shown on TV!*
Conveniently located across the street from Magics Beach Grill, you are a short stroll away from some of the best food and drink on the Kona coast. Whether you are looking for a morning cup of Kona coffee at Magics Beach Shack, or an inspired meal made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients for lunch or dinner, there is something for everybody moments away from your doorstep.
View and Privacy: Large and private lanai with mountain/ocean views, and during winter months (around winter solstice) a beautiful and direct sunset view. It comes with a fully equipped kitchen, hi-speed WIFI, phone (free calls to the US and Canada), flat-screen TV with cable and DVD player, central air conditioning, and laundry. Each bedroom is furnished with a queen bed; the Primary bathroom has a shower, and the guest's bathroom has a shower and a tub.
This top floor unit is located in the Kuakini building, set behind the other two in White Sands Village. Therefore, in addition to providing beautiful views, it offers privacy and a gentle ocean breeze. Wake up with some Kona coffee and watch the sunrise from the lanai! During winter months, watch a full sunset from the privacy of your patio, or walk across the street and enjoy it from the beach! It is also a large unit -- 1030 sqft with a 200 sqft lanai. It's just a few steps further to the beach than the other buildings, but we think it's worth it :)
The complex has a saltwater pool across from the beach, hot tub, outdoor barbeque area, and tennis courts. The grounds are well-tended and include beautiful palm trees, many-flowered plants, and a large number of tropical birds. The perfect place to enjoy all Hawaii has to offer!! There are two covered parking spots below the unit.
This unit is located on Ali'i Drive, just 2 miles south of Kona town, and one mile north of Kahalu'u Beach (aka "Snorkel Beach"), and 2 miles north of Keauhou for easy access to shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. From this fantastic central location on the Big Island of Hawaii, you can visit the Volcano, golf courses, coffee farms, and all of the many attractions that make Hawaii a favorite destination.
Accessibility: Please note that the elevator goes to the third floor, and then there is a set of 10 small steps to access the unit.
***At this time the tennis courts located within the complex are not usable as they were undergoing renovation and the work had to be stopped to research possible archeological impacts of the project. We are sorry for any inconvenience.***
*The Hawaii County Department of Parks and Recreation closed Laaloa Beach Park (the closed parking lot including the cultural sites along the water that are across from the Keauhou Bldg driveway). The south end of Magic Sands Beach Park is also closed for construction improvements. Both projects will run concurrently and are expected to be completed in approximately 7-8 months. The beach portion of the park remains open and Water Safety Officers of the Hawaii Fire Department continue their oversight of ocean activities there.
While we strive to keep all photos up to date, there may be new and updated pieces of furniture or décor that are different than in the original pictures. The functionality, available seating and sleeping space will remain the same or may improve.

He had a great experience at this property - was exactly as shown in the online phots and was very well stocked in the kitchen and had everything you needed to go to the beach.
Only thing i would suggest is to have the main be updated as we found it a tad uncomfortable.
would stay here again!

We loved everything about the property. It was very well located, across from a beach and near a main snorkeling area. We watched beautiful sunsets from the balcony and there was a lovely ocean view as well. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

Great place, very clean and comfortable, kitchen well stocked. Had some drain issues in main bath but husband was able to fix.
I wish it was a little closer to the beach and had a little better ocean view, but overall felt like a good value. Could use a few more beach towels.

Couldn’t hear the traffic a bit, awesome ocean view from the lanai. Beaches within walking distance were beautiful, but pretty rough for inexperienced swimmers. Pool was lovely for relaxing adults, but not intended for noisy/excitable kids playing, fyi. The condo was impressively clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Good location, good communication with property manager. Two out of three boogie boards were broken unfortunately. Biggest hiccup was there wasn't a working smoke detector in the unit. This is a danger! So, I bought one, submitted a photo of it and the receipt, and left it in the unit. No reimbursement - that was disappointing. given that such rentals should ABSOLUTELY have at least one. I dropped overall stars because of this.

Great place to stay to explore the island. Condo wasn’t fancy but met our needs well. Nice beach toys/chairs/umbrella set up and location directly across from white sands beach is awesome. Only complaint would be mattresses are notably uncomfortable. Would be awesome if management company would update those.
