This property is super nice. The ladies were very accommodating to an extra person coming along. I did have to call them with some bad news and they weren’t upset they just told me that it would be taken care of. We will definitely stay with them on our next trip to the island.

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.

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!

We had a wonderful time at #213. It's a great space for a family of 4. the location was perfect. We loved being across from the beach. There's no AC so we always had the sliding doors open. The cross breeze was nice. It could get a little loud with traffic, but we didn't mind. We would definitely stay here again.

I really like staying at VRBOs that feel like home away from home, and that’s how this one felt. Well stocked kitchen, fluffy towels, and a “miscellaneous” cabinet that had sunblock and bug spray, among other things. Central AC was very helpful for the hot weather and the bedrooms were cool and comfortable to sleep. Lots of puzzles and games available. Check in and parking all were super easy and host was very responsive via text. Would definitely stay again!

The two bedroom/two bathroom was a great place for our base location while on the Big Island. The LOADED tub of beach essentials on the lanai was great! We enjoyed having our coffee and breakfast on the lanai each morning before heading out on our daily activities.
We could have used a few more wash clothes and the dishwashing pod box was empty when it came time to run the dishwasher the first time. That cost us another trip to Walmart. The cleaning crew just needs to watch for supplies as they are used up. Other than that snag, we completely enjoyed the place and the location was great!
If ever on the Big Island again we would definitely consider staying there again.

Our first time to the Big Island was memorable!
The location of the condo is just perfect, not too far but far enough from the "touristy' side of this island! We liked that our door was close to the elevator to make unloading easier. It was great to have a beach across the street and a pool in the middle of the property.
The condo was well stocked and having a washer and dryer was super helpful! We also appreciated the new walk-in shower! We look forward to booking at this location in the future!

My family of four stayed here for two weeks while my other family members also rented units from this same complex. This was the best solution to finding an affordable AND amazing place for our big family get together.
The unit is comfortable with a good AC unit to keep things cool, VERY comfortable beds and fully stocked for you to enjoy your time. The washer and dryer work great. There are PLENTY of towels. The lanai has lots of of swim stuff as well. The pool is AMAZING. It's 8 feet deep at one end, has a shallower end, as well as a hot tub.
There are literally only two drawbacks for my entire time here, and both of these are super manageable.
The first is to get into the unit, you are going to scrape the bottom of your vehicle unless it's lifted a good ways. You can POSSIBLE get it to not scrape, but I did it twice in two weeks. So be ready. The driveway is also very narrow especially at the road, so be cautious.
The second is the ocean. While absolutely gorgeous (seriously, the pictures that show the bright turquoise waters doesn't do it justice), this can be a bit of a rougher experience for people who aren't familiar with the water. So just a word of cautious for people to REALLY be careful. On a side note, there's a restaurant across the street and you can sit and enjoy a meal while watching people get eaten by the ocean. lol
All in all, 10 out of 10, would DEFINITELY stay again, and will strongly recommend to anyone interested to go.

Right across the street from one of the few sandy beaches (Magic Sands) on the Big Island that is not remote. Some decent snorkeling on that beach. Close to Kona town. About 25-30 minutes from the airport. Matresses are very good; kitchen is well-equipped but bring your own salt and cooking oil. The complex is quiet and has a nice pool and hot tub.

This is a great property. Walking distance to Magic Sands Beach (which is a little bitty beach, but my kids’ favorite bc of the waves). It was super quiet and peaceful. Everything we needed was there…even boogie boards, coolers, and bug spray. Doug was very responsive when the wi-fi went out and had someone out the next day to work on it. The birds’ chorus at sunrise and sunset was pretty cool to witness.

Our family of four found this property to be a perfect place for us to explore the Big Island. It was equipped with everything we needed to cook meals. We appreciated having the basics like spices and condiments. The snorkel and beach gear worked great for us to take a quick 5 minute drive down the road for great snorkeling. You can also snorkel across the street, but Kahalu’u Beach Park was much better with an outer wall creating calmer waters. Our teens loved that they got to spot sea turtles in the water there.
The beds were comfortable. Our daughter loved being able to sleep on the lanai. The bathrooms were well stocked.
The tennis courts were in great shape and the pool area was very nice as well.
We would stay there again if we make it back.

We chose the 2 bedroom property because we traveled with 16 year old grandson.
The bedrooms were fine, the kitchen was wonderful with induction range, dishwasher, dishes and cookware all top notch.
The lanai was lovely, and there was an assortment of snorkel gear, beachmat and chairs, all things that made using the beach (and pool) easy without needing extra purchases.
The only minor inconvenience we tried to address by emailing the owners (as requested in their info sheet), but never got a response.
Overall a great experience.
We would return in a heartbeat!

This is a great place to stay with 5 min walk to the beach... Parking spot for this apartment is bad and they charged a $50 damage insurance which was not called out when I booked the reservation - this is the only reason it is a 4 star but apartment condition, location, etc were super great.

We had a great stay at White Sands Village at Magic Sands beach. What a great value this condo is! The covered reserved parking spot right next to the elevator is clutch!! The kitchen was fully stocked and love that condiments and spices are there for everyone’s use. Plenty of extra everything like trash bags, towels, chairs, beach goodies, laundry detergent etc. Water pressure in the showers were decent too which I appreciated and we had plenty of hot water. Pool and hot tub were crowded at times, empty at times, which was nice. The pool is very deep though so just a note for littles, there is a small three foot section however then it’s 4-8 feet from there, which my 11yo loved. Magic Sands was not swimmable while we were there due to a southern swell which brought in HUGE waves so it was fun to watch the locals bodyboard like pros and the lifeguards have no reservations about telling visitors to stay out of the water. The one day the waves subsided we still found the beach to be rocky so we went elsewhere for swimming. The shops and restaurants of Kona are a short drive away, all within 5-10 mins. Convenient to the harbors where all the tours go from and the airport. We’d definitely stay again!! Mahalo Nui Loa!

We were part of a large family group who had multiple properties on site and we won the week. The huge lanai looking down to the ocean watching the sun set was amazing. The condo is laid out well for a family up to four people. And property management is both easy to work with and responsive to any issues you might have. Highly recommend!

We loved that the home It was well stocked with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Food that had been purchased and not used was available - in pantry - which is always helpful. Beach across the street was nice but unusable for us at this time since the waves were incredibly high. Lots of restaurants around. A distance from other sights such as Volcano National Monument and the Rain Forest so we did do a bit of driving.

This was the perfect spot for our family. It had everything we needed plus. The pool table out side BBQ and kitchen were beautiful and the swimming pool was great. The parking was a bit tight for the sUV we got but it was parking included so that was great. Everything in the condo was great. Sometimes the TV worked and sometimes it didn’t but could be user error as well. The floors were swept but could have been mopped and the kitchen rug cleaned. It had every utensil we could need. Dishwasher left a lot of soap on dishes but we usually cleaned them as we used them any way. It is right across the street from a beautiful beach. Mostly used for body surfing but the waves were perfect. Sitting on that beach was wonderful too. Also the restaurant across the street was great as well. It was so nice to have so much right at walking distance. I rate this top notch in my book. I would definitely want to go back. It says it has elevators but like ours we still had to go up stairs to get to the condo on the third floor. If you can’t do stairs be sure to ask if your condo is on the elevator floor with no stairs to climb. Did not hear anything from the management. We got there at the time the email stated but no one was there. So we just used the code we were given and it worked. No problems there. My family totally loved it.
