Fantastic property within walking distance of the best sand beach, and surfing only 1 mile down the road. If youâre looking for a homebase for an activity-geared trip, this is your place!
Great location. Clean and comfortable stay with all the amenities a family would need including items to make beach visits enjoyable. Great facilities outside the condo.
We would recommend this location. We had a lovely stay and the manager was an excellent communicator. The location is beautiful and right by the beach. The pool and hottub were well maintained. The condo was very spacious and had a lot of things we needed in the kitchen as well as for the beach. It was a little lacking in cleanliness, but not bad by any means, (no bugs or mold) just some sand on the floors when we arrived, a couple of dishes and pans werenât super clean, and some stains on furniture. But I also think that is part of doing vrbo. You are getting a great price because it is more like staying at a friends house and less like a hotel/resort.
We loved our stay. Kitchen was well stocked and there were lots of sand toys, pool noodles and a cooler. Condo was clean and comfortable. The proximity to magic sands was fantastic. The condo pool and hot tub offered nice variety. Definitely coming to stay again! The owner was quick to respond and very gracious. Thank you so much!!
We enjoyed our stay here! The kitchen was very well equipped with everything for cooking & the unit was very spacious and clean. Love the quick access to the beach across the street. Would recommend!
My family of 5 stayed here for 5 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was exactly as advertised, very clean, an large enough for my entire family to stay comfortably. The unit has a large kitchen that made cooking meals very convenient for my family. Wonderful location and we highly recommend this unit! Would definitely stay here again
We've been to The Big Island several times before. This property was very clean and directly across the street from Magic Sands Beach, which is one of the few sandy beaches on the Kona coast. Close to town and shopping. It is also one of the few properties that has central AC, although you won't need it much this time of year (January). I highly recommend this property, and we'll be back the next trip!
White Sands Village is in a great location with an amazing sunset beach literally across the street. We enjoyed coming âhomeâ after full days of exploring this beautiful island. The condo is well stocked with essentials. The wrap around patio is so peaceful in the mornings and late evenings. I would recommend this condo for anyone wanting to stay off site of a resort and wanting a feel of âhomeâ. Thank you Karen for the great communication before and during our stay.

This Kona condo was perfect for our family of 4 (2 grown kids). The location really was convenient - a 2 minute walk to the beach and easy drive to town, plus easy access to the main road for exploring the island. We enjoyed the large kitchen and livingroom, and spent lots of time relaxing on the patio.
Check in was simple, and communications were good.
The place needs a new/improved bed in the master bedroom and new bedding. Updating the twin beds to fulls would be good. Could use a deep cleaning. We were surprised by the last minute notification that there'd be construction crews just outside the doors all day during the week. It wasn't ideal, but we made it work. Overall, a great vacation week.
This was our first time staying in Kona and our first time staying on the Big Island and Kona.
First, as the map and the reviews say the location is perfect. This spot is so convenience and directly across a lovely beach with sand (rare for this area).
Pros: Walk across to Magic sands beach and you can swim, body surf or even snorkel. Nice to walk across and get in the ocean in all of 3 mins tops. Also Magics grill for dinning out (a bit $$$) is still a good option. The complex has a nice, updated pool, hot tub, sauna, and pool table.
The unit has a very large lanai - and half of which has a nice view of tropical plants so nice privacy there.
I would recommend this spot to others. We had a nice time. Host was responsive and tried to address anything that was of issue.
Areas of improvement:
Agree with others that the unit could use a "deep cleaning" there are obvious areas in the shower that need some extra cleaning and a layer of dust on some lamps. Master room bed mattress does need to be replaced itâs a bit like a waterbed but a normal spring bed that is very wobbly.
I wish I knew the tennis courts were under construction so next time I book, I will ask about the possibility, it is Hawaii, so things move slow sometimes.
There was a lot an ants in the apartment specially on countertop.
On VRBO site, we can see tennis court in front of balcony and we thought playing but there was no court.
Some furnitures (carpet in the bathdroom, cauch) didn't look clean when looked at.
Nevertheless it was a beautiful and large condo with a great location.
This place is perfect! Itâs just as described. The beach is literally across the street which made it so convenient.The condo has all the amenities you would need for the beach like beach chairs, pool noodles, etc. The kitchen has all your amenities including pots and pans, plenty of silverware, dish soap for washing dishes as well as dishwasher soap for the dishwasher. There are 2 bathrooms. One with a tub/shower and the other with walk-in shower. The laundry machine and dryer is in the master bathroom. The beds are comfortable. The wrap around Lanai is nice place to relax in the morning and evening. We did not have any issues but the host did let us know that the property management were going to do routine maintenance. I would definitely stay here again.
It is directly across the street from the beach which was great in the morning to get up and go swim. The condo had everything you would need for the beach and inside the condo to be comfortable.
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
We were very please with this condo. The bedrooms were great, and every time we thought âI wonder if she has thisâ 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.
My family had an excellent stay. Condo was a great location. Plenty of space, had everything we needed, and we slept on comfortable mattresses and pillows!
We had a fantastic trip. We loved being across the street from the beach. My kids loved the pool. The condo was as advertised. We also felt like the property owner went above our expectations. The airline made a change to our flight and we had to check out a day early. We sent a message to let them know and didnât expect a refund for the lost day because of the poor timing. The property owner was so kind and understanding.
One-owner family for 30+ years, pride of ownership is reflected throughout the condo. Our family has enjoyed this condo, surrounding complex, and the beach since 1987 including three generations of family members. We now would like to share it with our friends and VRBO guests.
Bobbie, the matriarch of the family, fell in love with this area when on vacation and purchased the condo where she lived for 25 years. She was attracted to the beauty and serenity of the area, the beach right across the street, close proximity to town and shopping, and of course - the beautiful pool just steps away.
