Paradise! Romantic, Peaceful Oasis & Ocean View! Steps to Magic Sands Beach! AC!

Aloha! Come experience this affordable, spacious, relaxing 2nd floor, 2-bedroom 2-bathroom tropical gem at White Sands Village Condominiums!! See our walk-thru VIDEO on YouTube!! https://youtu.be/37QtTgWOpoA (Sorry! A VRBO glitch will not allow a hyperlink!)
Truly a fabulous location - just across the street from White Sands Beach, aka Magic Sands Beach! But, it is also a uniquely private, romantic, and quiet 2nd floor condo in a garden setting! Our unit is tranquil perfection after a busy day touring the Big Island, or a long day at the beach! Fantastic for you to revel in the sounds of nature. Enjoy a gorgeous view from inside unit and from the comfort of the lanai!

White Sands Village Condominiums are across from one of the finest beaches on the Kona coast, 700 feet away from White Sands Beach! At times, the sand mysteriously disappears-this is why the locals call it "Magic Sands." Enjoying sunning, swimming, boogie boarding, and snorkeling in the clear blue water is a must.

Our 1208 square foot home is located on the second floor of the Kuakini building of White Sands Village (WSV). Of the three buildings in this complex, this building is set off the main road and our unit especially is uniquely nestled in a garden setting. The view from the lanai is of the manicured gardens and the spectacular blue waters of the beautiful Pacific Ocean!!

We live here part-time and it shows! This tastefully decorated and updated unit is fully equipped to feel like a home away from home! The condominium has been impeccably maintained and professionally cleaned in preparation for your arrival.

This home gives you a spacious Master bedroom with a supremely comfortable King size bed, a beautiful, private Master bath with a large standalone shower. It has just been updated with a 50" flatscreen Smart TV, as well. The Master bath includes a full-size washer and dryer. The 2nd bedroom is equipped with a new, wonderfully comfortable King size bed, and now has a 30" flatscreen TV. There is a full, updated 2nd bathroom that includes a bathtub and shower.

The spacious, relaxing, living room is the perfect place to unwind after a full day in the sun and plan the next day's activities. With a new 65" UHD Smart TV (not yet shown, 092323), Cable, and a DVD player. We also provide free, 500 Mbps High speed WiFi.

Open the sliding doors and enjoy the trade winds of the Pacific, often including the fragrance of Plumeria! Or, turn on the also new, quiet, and Energy-efficient Central Air-Conditioner, for a cooler evening!!

The storage chest on the lanai is fully stocked with a large variety of beach and swim equipment, boogie boards, noodles, snorkels, fins, sand shoes, etc. for your use. Also provided are coolers, sun umbrellas and back-pack style beach chairs.

Need to mix in a little work and play? The freshly painted living room is set up with a business-ready, adjustable, standing or sitting desk off to the side, including a 27" monitor and an Epson color printer.

The amenities at WSV include a gorgeous, heated, salt-water pool, an outdoor hot tub, a sauna, billiards, multiple BBQ stations, and manicured gardens. Our 2 Sport Courts are restored & available again!! Tennis Regulation Nets! Plus: New addition: Lined for Pickleball!

This concrete constructed building is very quiet, safe and secure! There are surveillance cameras in the parking lots, at the pool and hot tub area, and evening security, to ensure everyone's peace of mind. This unit comes with one covered parking space, a large private lanai, and access to all the fabulous amenities of White Sands Estates. Guest parking is also available.

Just three and a half miles north on Alii Drive is the charming and picturesque village of Kailua-Kona. One mile south, a 10-minute walk from WSV, is the famous, protected snorkeling beach, Kahaluu. Kahaluu Beach Park offers easy access to the undersea population of green sea turtles and colorful tropical fish of every description. After a glorious day in the sun, it is a short, 5-minute stroll down to the White Sands Beach to watch a breath-taking Kona sunset! If you get lucky, you may see the famous green flash.

The historic and beautiful town of Kailua-Kona, just 3.5 miles north on Alii Drive, offers fine dining, shopping, nightlife, excursions, local art, and a local farmer's market. The market offers an abundance of locally grown fresh tropical fruits and the world-famous Kona Coffee. Just 2 miles to the south you will find Keauhou shopping center. Keauhou offers a modern grocery store, a drug store, boutiques, cinemas, ice cream shops and various restaurants.

White Sands Village is a strictly, 100% Non-Smoking, Non-Vaping Property. Smokers MUST step completely away from, and off of, the property. Complex-wide quiet hours are to be observed 10pm-8am. We truly thank you for adhering to these important Condo community and Aloha Good Neighbor policies!

Great Condo with excellent location!
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.

Nice Apartment - Well Equipped - Great Location
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!

Right at home
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!

Great location in Kona
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.

Lovely, Spacious and Comfy!
This beautiful and clean condo is exactly as described. Quiet ( we really only heard the sounds of birds), very comfortable and airy, with a nice view of the ocean. The lanai was large and comfortable too. We ate most of our meals out there. This condo was also very thoughtfully stocked with all the beach and other amenities we needed. The location was perfect with easy access to Magic Sands Beach. I was able to swim every day and even saw turtles while swimming! We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed staying at this condo. The hosts were easy to work with.I would certainly come back. Thank you for a marvelous and relaxing vacation!

Wonderful apartment with everything you possibly need for a fun vacation
The most clean and well organized apartment we have ever stayed. Very spacious, great location, close to Kona and lots of restaurants and activities. Very quiet neighborhood, Dawneeta was very responsive, answered all questions. We were grateful to be able to do early check in, since apartment was ready. We had a smoothly, check in, all instructions were accurate. There is a binder with rules and possible questions and answers in the living area. Access to the pool, designated parking lot, elevator to the second floor. Apartment is very well equipped starting with kitchen, there are all you possibly need for a comfortable stay. Bedrooms are huge, with king beds, huge smart TVs in all rooms. Lots of towels, bed sheets etc. Spacious balcony has a huge box with outdoor stuff. Beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, boogie boards. Big outdoor dining table also was nice to dining outside and have a breakfast. Not even mentioning washing/dryer machines in the unit and AC a huge plus!!! Everything was so helpful! It made our vacation very pleasant and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this beautiful place and give it a five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ and would stay there again!

This condo is fantastic - the beds are large and comfortable, having AC is nice, the lanai is large and relaxing with a peaceful view over adjacent residential area and out to the ocean. My husband appreciated the great TV too. It is right across from the beach, so easy to walk to the water. Convenient shaded parking. And we appreciated being able to use the boogie boards, snorkels, beach chairs and umbrellas. Very attentive and helpful hosts!

Great condo
My wife, nephew (18) and I stayed a week at this condo. The space feels bigger than the pictures. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of beach equipment (chairs, cooler, snorkel gear, boogie boards). The beach is about a 5 minute walk, although we didn't go in the water due to the high surf. However the pool was nice and never crowded. Beds were very comfortable as well, slept like a baby. I would love to come back!

A Comfortable Stay. Recommended!
Everything was as described. The condo was spotless, well equipped, and quiet. The furnishings were comfortable and we particularly enjoyed the large balcony for morning coffee and evening meals. Our hosts were responsive and helpful. This was a last minute booking, as a "super host" on another platform cancelled our booking without explanation, the night before our arrival in Hawaii. We actually finalized this booking while on the plane to Hawaii. Our hosts made it possible for us to get into our rental immediately upon arrival. They were a lifesaver!

Great Stay Near Magic Sands
The condo was great -- super cleaned and well stocked. We have stayed at this complex several times, and this was one of the more updated units we've stayed in, which was really great. The kitchen and baths are nicely updated, and like all the units has a great deck. Note that this unit is near the back of White Sands Village so it's a little stroll down to the beach but that's no big deal, and as in the pictures you can see the water from the deck (which is a great place to take in Hawaiian sunsets and sunrises). The unit also has central A/C, which not all in WSV do, controlled by a nest thermostat which will allow you to turn it down to 75. Easy keypad checkin and quick communication with owner by text. Great stay and would be happy to come back!

Great location, beach access and close to all that Kona has to offer
Due to the fires in Maui, we needed to make a last minute change to spend a week on the big island. We couldn’t have asked for more with our accommodations. Walking distance to one of the best beaches on the island, and having beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, etc) was a nice bonus. We also enjoyed the pool, covered parking and everything the condo complex had to offer. The condo was spacious, clean and comfortable for my family of four. We dined on the lanai just about every night, it was a perfect way to end our day watching the sunset. Great communication throughout with the owners. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay on the big island.

Even Better In Person
We had a fabulous vacation due in large part to our accommodations. The property is as described and more. Clean is an understatement. The property is well kept and very clean. Beds & pillows were fantastic and allowed for a good night sleep after a full day of fun. It was quiet even though it is located right across the street from one of the most popular beaches. We were so impressed with the extras provided… beach towels & toys, kitchen supplies, paper products, a printer which we actually needed this trip. There were even things included you wouldn’t expect like sun tan lotion, spices, and condiments. The location was ideal and there was never a concern about safety. Covered parking kept our vehicle cool and secure. The pool and barbecue area was clean and relaxing. Most impressive was the communication with Dawneeta. She responded immediately to any questions we had about the property - from accessing the pool to working the television. Having written all of this I will say that the 5 star rating is insufficient and I would give it a 5 plus!

Excellent Experience!
First off, if I’m ever in the area again, I would look for this property/host again. Hosts were great and very responsive on any questions we had. The unit is great and in a perfect spot for exploring the Big Island. And the owners have stocked it full of all the things you might need to enjoy your time there. Driving around the island and need a cooler? Check. Want to try out snorkeling or sit on the nearby beach in walking distance? Everything is already there! Forgot a fan and can’t sleep at night without one? Check the closets, because there’s one in each room. The price is right, the location is right, and it has everything you want. Thank you so much to the owners for helping to make our first trip to Hawaii unforgettable!
