About this property

Kona Condo at Magic Sands Beach-Ocean Views-Top Floor-Quiet

Aloha and welcome to our condo at White Sands Village. Brand new to the rental market, this wonderfully appointed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom top floor condo offers everything you’ll need to enjoy your stay in Kailua-Kona and the Big Island Of Hawaii. This newly upgraded unit is located in the back of the complex, away from Alii Drive, offering beautiful ocean and mountain views, renewing sunrises and spectacular sunsets (Sept-March) from your 27 foot long lanai. And it’s quiet! You’ll enjoy the tranquility and privacy our location offers, while the beach is just steps away.

Upon your arrival to our Condo At Magic Sands, you’ll find your reserved 1-car covered parking space is directly adjacent to the elevator and ample visitor parking on site. You’ll have zero stairs to negotiate from elevator to your front door. It’s super convenient for loading and unloading after your daily adventures. Our remodeled kitchen is beautifully appointed and well equipped with a full size refrigerator, dishwasher, stove/range and microwave oven, blender, coffee maker and toaster. We LOVE to cook! Your kitchen is well stocked with sharp knives, quality dishes, glassware and all the dining and cooking utensils you’ll need. We’ve even prepared a separate BBQ drawer with all the items usually needed for the poolside grills.

Enjoy the wonderful fresh foods available to you on the island like Fresh Ahi and Ono, Poke’, incredible local produce from Waimea (Kamuela) and tropical fruits available from our local farmers market at the kitchen bar top, dining room table or lanai table. The great room offers comfortable hardwood cork flooring, 48” OLED “smart tv”, custom bamboo book shelves and beautiful art work to enjoy. You’ll also find a rarely used sleeper sofa ready if you need it. ROKU, YouTube TV, Spectrum TV app and all the same movie, sports and TV apps you use at home.

Your master bedroom offers a comfortable queen sized bed, en suite full bathroom with recently romodeled shower (no tub) and floor to ceiling sliding glass doors to the lanai. Enjoy the views of waves crashing at White Sands Beach in the morning, birds chirping and views of Hualalai and the famous Kona Coffee Groves on the “Mauka” (mountain) side. Mirrored wardrobe doors and a 55” HD ROKU smart TV are yours to enjoy. The recently remodeled 2nd bedroom also offers a very comfortable Queen Bed, new bedding, large closet and adjoining full bathroom with recently romodeled shower (no tub). Evening breezes keep these bedrooms very cool most of the year. We also offer a portable crib.

Although our condo is situated to capture the soothing ocean breezes, you’ll enjoy the Central Air Conditioning on those extra warm days! Other amenities include stacked washer/dryer, Wi-Fi/High Speed Internet and a “beach chest”. White Sands Beach is right across the street, so we thought you’d enjoy ice chests, boogie boards, beach chairs and towels, an umbrella and snorkeling gear to make your beach days epic. You’ll also find our travel binder full of tips and suggestions for beaches, hikes, shopping, excursions, sports bars, restaurants and happy hours! We love the Big Island and we truly want you to love it too!

As guests of White Sands Village, you’ll have access to a heated salt water swimming pool, Jacuzzi, covered club area which includes 4 gas BBQ’s, sauna, library and game room with pool table. Of our course, the grounds are pure Aloha, beautifully manicured to enjoy while you kick back, feet up with Mai Tai in hand  Tennis Courts are free to use and available to reserve. We love the BBQ area. You’ll meet new friends from all over the world every night while you grill that Ahi or Opakapaka to perfection!

October is a very popular month as the Ironman Triathlon World Championship comes to the Kailua-Kona Pier. The 2.4 mile open ocean swim begins and ends from the Pier in Kailua Kona Bay, just 3.5 miles from our condo. The 112 mile bike ride races around Kona before heading out to the Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway up to Hawi Town and back. The athletes hop off their bikes at the Pier and head out for a nice 26.2 mile marathon under the Hawaii Sun and finish near the Banyan Tree on Alii Drive. From White Sands Village, you can cheer on the athletes as they pass you 2 times, out and back on the marathon course. It’s a great day for spectators and athletes alike. Ironman fans also know the Ironman 70.3 “Honu” is held in June at Mauna Lani Resort, just a short 40 minute drive away.

Location is everything, and we think White Sands Village is the perfect vacation spot. Directly across Alli Drive is the beautiful White Sands Beach, aka La Aloa Beach Park, aka Magic Sands Beach. Boogie Board, Snorkel, play Volleyball or just hang out and relax. Just 1 mile south is some of the best snorkeling on the Island at Kahalu’u State Park. View hundreds of species of tropical fish and graceful sea turtles in protected, calm waters. Or, learn to surf from the perfect point break with expert instructors. 2 miles south is Keauhou Bay, home to the Kona Country Club and 36 holes of Championship Golf. Both courses are open to the public. Keauhou Bay is also home to the Sheraton Resort, which hosts nightly swims and dives with giant Manta Rays, Keauhou Shopping Center which includes KTA SuperMarket, Sam Choy’s and Tropics Bar/Restaraunts and Movie Theatres. Plus a lot more!

Just 3.5 miles north is the picturesque village of Kailua Kona. Take a long walk, an easy drive or ride the Trolley for just $2. The Trolley passes directly in front of White Sands Village on Alii Drive and travels between Keauhou and Kailua Kona. The village, home to Kona Brewing Company, Huggo’s on the Rocks, Humpy’s and Lava Java, also offers many choices for dining, dancing, happy hours, Luau’s, shopping, island activities and an awesome farmers market. Our travel tips binder will highlight our personal favorites!
The Big Island of Hawaii is so much more than fantastic beaches. Here, you’re just an island drive away from the North Kohala Coast and Polulu Valley, the upcountry town of Waimea and Parker Ranch, the incredible Waipio Valley, Zip Line at Akaka and Umauma Falls, sunsets and the incredible night sky offered at Mauna Kea Observatories, Ancient Hawaiian Petroglyphs, Black Sand Beaches, yes…a SeaHorse Farm, the Ancient Village at Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park and Two Steps Snorkeling next door, Volcano’s National Park, Swim with Spinner Dolphins amongst colorful coral reefs at Kealakekua Bay & Captain Cook Monument, go coffee tasting or visit Hilo Town.

We hope you enjoy your stay on The Big Island!

Beautiful Stay

We loved staying at Magic Sands. The location was excellent and place was very homely. The facilities were great. The communication with the owners was fantastic - lots of tips on where to go and what to do. They were so friendly. We stayed three nights with our adult and teenage daughters - wish we stayed longer!

Magic Sands Condo

This is a really great property in Kona. The condo is clean and well stocked with beach gear, kitchen utensils, and all the things you need during your stay. You can literally walk across the street to gain access to one of the public beaches and there is a pool on the property. Communication with Dougie is easy and the check-in and check-out process is smooth. Would recommend.

Perfect Space for our Family!

Our family of six stayed for 5 nights here. The location was perfect - quick access to down town Kona, directly across from Magic Sands Beach, 15 minutes from Walmart and about an hour from the North Kona coast. The lanai was our favorite part of the condo - the view of the ocean was beautiful and we spent most of our time in the condo on the lanai. The condo has everything you would need - all cooking equipment for making meals at home, beach chairs and toys, shampoo and conditioner - it was fully stocked. Doug was very responsive to any needs. We would definitely stay here again! The lanai was

Perfect Hawaii Vacation

In all ways an excellent two bedroom condo for the island experience! Just steps away from a beautiful beach, great food and situated to explore the amazing island and its 11 Eco systems. Rent a jeep and have an amazing vacation. We will be back and rent this very well apportioned condo. It had everything we needed, chairs, towels, kitchen utensils, boogie boards, fins/ masks and an amazing view to watch the sun rise and set!

Fabulous place! We will stay here again for our next visit

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.

Great location for our first Hawai’i trip!

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.

Great condo and prime location!

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!

It's Magic!

The location is great! The property is very well kept with a lot of beautiful flowers all around the property. The pool and hot tub were a nice change from the ocean and quiet. The walk to Magic Sands beach was easy and having the Magics Grill right next to it, although expensive, was very nice. Had lunch there a couple times and split a burger which was very good. The beach got a bit crowded but was still easy to find a great spot. Those waves coming in was a sight to see! Snorkeling there was fantastic too. Lots of beautiful fish. The condo was very clean and well kept and stocked with everything you would need. We did some cooking there one night so that worked out well. The beds were very comfortable and was quiet all night which is a nice change from a hotel and all the slamming doors and people talking in the hallways. Showers, living room, lanai, and washer and dryer were great. Parking was perfect which is right next to the elevator. The birds in the area were quite entertaining especially at sunset. Tried taking the trolley to town to do some shopping but waited and waited and it never came so we took a Lyft which was only $12. Didn't want to pay for parking in town which can run $9 - $15hr which is insane. Lyft was great though both ways. If we visit Kona again we'll definitely look this place up! Love Hawaii! Mahalo!

Our dream was to one day own a place of our own on the Big Island of Hawaii. After 18 years vacationing and enjoying everything this magical place offers, it happened. And we can't wait to share the Aloha with you.

Why they chose this property

Well, it seems like we're always at Magic Sands Beach. Whether we pack our bags for the day to hang out there, or finish the day off after visiting one of the great beaches along the Kohala Coast, we're always drawn back. So, it seemed natural to purchase at White Sands Village, keep the car parked and walk to our favorite beach!
