Exceeded expectations. Truly right across street from lovely family beach. Condo was super clean with comfortable decorator inspired furnishings and art. Hotel quality linens and towels. Condo was fully stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our time there: fully equipped kitchen, placemats, paper towels, detergent, condiments, coffee, tea, shampoo, blowdryers, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach towels, coolers, beach umbrellas, tennis racquets. Complex has lovely pool and BarBQ grills. Huge wrap around lanai. I wondered abbot placement of futon sofa on lanai. It was placed to watch sunrise... Great place.

i feel like the pics were a little deceiving. The Magic Sands restaurant is across and down street but there was a pic of it saying exterior. The place had a weird funky musky smell to it. But great location and wonderful beach chairs and umbrellas. updated appliances which were nice! Bathrooms need updating but work!

We spent 7 nights at this nice condo and loved every minute of it. The condo is on the back side but you do have spectacular views of the ocean from the very large lanai and also gorgeous mountains from the entry into the condo. Lush trees and foliage with chirping birds and beautiful flowers. Each bedroom had king size beds with very comfortable mattresses. This was important to us as we were two adult couples traveling together. The condo is just a three minute walk from the Magic Sands Beach which was great. The condo was fully stocked with all types of beach gear, which included chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, ice chest and much more. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed. However we did not cook at all. We are out for every meal. Hawai’i has some great restaurants and we just had to try as many as possible. Lava Java was our favorite for breakfast. Mauna Kea Luau was also great way to end our trip. Lots of things to do and see on the island.
Dawneeta was great. She reached out to me before we arrived to make sure we had all of the info needed. I must have deleted the email VRBO sent with instructions but she was so gracious to resend it. She was always very responsive to any questions we had. She was great.

White Sands Village is a great location - close enough to the action but far enough away from the hubbub and tourist bustle. This unit was well equipped (other than missing an ice cream scoop!) and had fabulous amenities. Check in was a breeze and communication with our host easy.

My kids absolutely loved Magic beach park, which is located directly across the street. The beach does have some big shorebreak waves at times, but our kids never wanted to go anywhere else. The room is great and very spacious and had everything we needed for beach days. Location was great for us. It was quiet and never to crazy (even during the week of the Ironman World Championships). Parking spot is tight if you have a big suv, but we still were able to fit in the slip no problem with a full size suv. Pool is awesome, with a big outdoor kitchen and multiple bbq grills. THE BEACH!!! you wont find a better swimming beach in the area and its literally 100ft across the street. Water was calm enough for snorkling and seeing turtles, but by afternoon its all boggie boards and body surfing. We had zero cpmplaints.

Great location and home base for exploring the island! There’s a Beach Shack across the street where we enjoyed lattes and açaí bowls and watched the kids boogie board and jump waves at Magic Sands beach. Well stocked kitchen and a KTA within a six minute drive. Communication with host was quick and easy. Would recommend and love to stay again.

We really enjoyed the property, cleanliness and location. However, our interaction with the property host was not good. We were sent a text on our check in day that the washer wasn't working and would be repaired the next day. I subsequently tried to reach the host (various ways) and only got one text response saying they thought that they had responded and that they were trying to get a repair part. This was the 3rd day of our stay and we didn't hear back the rest of the stay regarding the broken washer. We were there for 8 days. This lack of communication was disappointing. If not for this, I would definitely book this location again.

The condo is spotless. Doug and Mary have everything that we need for our 4-night stay. The 2 bedrooms are perfect for the 2 of us. Our condo is in the back of the building so we didn’t have to hear the road noise (definitely a plus for us). The property is across from Magic Sands Beach.
We love our stay and felt well rested during our trip. Thank you for providing the yoga mat and the Trigger Points Roller. I used the yoga mat every morning on the patio and my partner took advantage of the trigger points roller as well.

Condo was exactly as pictured on the website. Everything one would need to cook and eat was available. Chairs in living room were comfortable. Mattress was great. Slept good on it. AC was real handy; especially after coming in from the beach.
Beach couldn't have been much easier to get to.
Umbrella and beach chairs were great for the beach trips.
Good view of the ocean from the lanai. Covered parking was nice for keeping the rental car cool. Short drive to town and grocery stores.

We have stayed in the complex 3 other times and love the location, pool and amenities. The unit itself is very nice, and the view from the lanai can't be beat. Our one minus is the DVD player listed as in the unit had been removed. A streaming service had been added but without instructions it was difficult to navigate. Since we couldn't play our movies we watched TV in the master bedroom in the evening. Over all a good stay though.

Our hosts have thought of everything we might need 🤗 The kitchen had updated appliances, fully stocked with coffee maker, tea kettle, new pots and pans and a few items for taking “to go beverages” down to the beach. We used the three beach chairs and snorkling equipment and towels. Boogie boards, cooler, noddles were also available. We spent a lot of time on the lanai enjoying the view and meals.
The unit was comfortable and our hosts couldn’t have been more responsive .Would stay here again 🤗

It was a great vacation for us. We were able to cook meals easy, because the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook. The living room was comfortable. We were able to relax and watch TV. The Lani is quite lovely, wonderful privacy and very comfortable. The bedrooms were very nice with a comfortable beds & nice beddings. Short walk to a cute little beach. Wonderful restaurant at walking distance. Just 30 minutes to the airport, which wasn’t too bad of a drive.

The condo was amazing! It's great being across from one of the only white sands beach in Kona. The condo had beach chairs, umbrellas, and all sorts of other fun beach stuff! The beds were so very comfortable! It was everything we would need. I was very happy with the condo! Please note, there is only one parking spot available, not two. If you have more that one car, one will have to park on the street.

We were there 10 days and had zero complaints. Oh and the hot tub was a bonus. You wouldn’t believe you’d use it but we did everyday.

We stayed for 5 nights with our 3 year old boy and 7 months old girl. The location was great, just a view minutes walk to the beach. The apartment was well equipped and calm. There was a lot of beach gear, also for the kids. Our crawling daughter found several long dark hair, so cleaning could be improved.
Please note that the complex has a lot of rules. Kids which are not toilet trained yet, are not allowed to enter the swimming pool (even with swim diapers). We recommend to communicate this in the online listing to make families aware before booking.
Thanks again for having us! We had a great time on Big Island!

Great 2 br. AC works good. You need this to be comfortable. Nice deck. In the unit are boogey boards, 3 beach chairs, beach towels and snorkel gear. The white Sands Beach, a short walk, is amazing for relaxing or going for a swim with a beautiful sand bottom. We drove the entire island and this beach is in the top 3. Most of the island has no beach. Our dishwasher wasn’t working but no big deal. Just washed by hand. Knutson was very responsive and wanted to make sure we were taken care of. Overall we were very happy.

Overtall was a good location with great beach views, noisy at times but also fun to view the beach activities. The unit itself need updating, the quality of the basic amenities was not as expected, in short, a critical look at the unit with some basic upgrades would make a big difference

We were coming into Kona with our children for a friends wedding and had never stayed on the Big Island so didn’t know much about the area. We did a ton of research before booking and were so pleased we chose this location and host. The condo was spacious, well appointed and provided everything we needed for fun in the sun with our kiddos (including beach toys, beach chairs, water shoes, a boogie board, etc.). The wrap around Lanai was perfect for relaxing, catching the sunset or watching our kids play tennis on the beautiful court. The pool area provides an outdoor kitchen area with bbq grills and a covered seating area which was great for rainy days when the kids didnt want to get out of the pool. the condo is just steps from magic sands beach and is within a few miles of shops and restaurants. We were able to enjoy our friends wedding and everything the surrounding area had to offer with very little stress thanks to the Stewarts! Imformation was communicated quickly and clearly and checking in and out was a breeze. We will definitely be back and look forward to staying here agaim

Great location and space. Unit was well stocked and it was nice to have access to beach equipment and towels to use during our stay. There did not appear to be a double futon in the living room, but perhaps it just was not obvious to us how the couch became a futon. Comfortably sleeps 4, more seems a little tight but we made it work. Overall very pleased.

The condo was exactly as listed and even better in person. The furniture and finishes were clean and modern. The location, while not beach front, was just a short walk down the drive way to Magic Sands beach. The view from the lanai was lovely and a surprising plus was the beautiful plumeria tree right in front of the lanai. We would absolutely book again if available for our next visit.

We stayed in this unit for 3-nights. It was exactly as described! It was my wife and I and our two children. We had plenty of room and it was nice having two full bathrooms! No bugs, very clean. You can hear the waves crashing! Only downside was no air conditioning, but we knew that going in. It does get hot in the late afternoon when the sun is setting. My son was able to set up a make shift putting course on the large wrap around balcony! There was also a nice pool/hot tub and gas grills on the property! Overall A+ for us!

The property itself was fine. A little older but clean, nice pool area and nice lanai to sit and listen to the ocean. The Magic Sands beach is nothing special, overcrowded, rocky, lots of homeless around the area, and an evening hangout for the local teen crowd. Never felt unsafe in the area but it’s not exactly the best part of the big island.

Location was great, just in front of Magic Sand beach. A lot of beach equipment ready to use on the balcony, which was nice. The pool was also nice, my kids loved it. The property was clean and had also some kitchen stuff ready to use. It was for me the best location of the three we had on Big Island for those reasons. I would go at the same exact location if I could!
