Perfect location + well appointed condo
We loved our stay at Magic Sands. The location was perfect for our daily trips exploring the island. We loved the view from the lanai while sipping our morning coffee as well as our nightly mai tai and listening to the crashing waves. I highly recommend this property.

Awesome stay with everything nearby
We enjoyed our stay here. The condo was the perfect size for a couple. Convenient to everything you may need. The sunsets either from the lanai or from the parks on either side of the complex are fantastic. Most days were just morning snorkels at 4 Mile or behind the condo and boogie boarding at Magic Sands - both within walking distance. If we want to go somewhere, it was easy to get in and out of the complex even during the middle of the day. If you didn't want to go out, we found it easy to make a meal in the condo or break out the grill by the pool - everything we needed to cook was there. Don't want to cook? Call Magic's Grill, wait 15 minutes, walk downstairs and pick up some good local dishes. We eat carry out on the lanai most nights as we watched the sunset - the place rocks.

Well-equipped, spotless, perfect location steps away!
We had a marvelous trip and would absolutely stay again. I have a high standard for cleanliness and when we opened the door my first words were “this place is spotless!” My second words were “look at that view!” We enjoyed sunsets and breakfast on the lanai with the ocean crashing right below, watching the waves lift up dozens of yellow tang! The apartment is amazingly well-equipped with all kinds of beach gear and we enjoyed being literally steps from the beach. It’s incredible how many useful things they have provided in a small, well-organized space. Snorkels, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, fishing gear, and more, plus a fully equipped kitchen. It is an easy 10 minute drive to Kona town and restaurants, too. Communication was very fast and easy and the hosts kindly accommodated a late check out that let us enjoy another beach day before our evening flight! Can’t recommend highly enough! We both loved it and will definitely stay again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Excellent place to stay with an amazing lanai for gorgeous sunsets every evening! Location perfect for exploring the island, beach next door & great restaurant below. Stocked with basics for cooking, tons of beach gear & plenty of towels. Pool area is really nice. We loved everything about the place! Would definitely stay here again!

Magic Sands is Magic
Probably one of the best properties in the Kona area if you want to be on the ocean with the ocean views. Property was well described in listing, and found to be very adequate in all respects. Did find the stairs to be a bit of a burden due to age and health. Would have been nice to have a hot shower, but that may be true for the whole building. Loved our ten days at this location and this facility and at a reasonable price.

Will stay again
Enjoyed our stay and will stay again. Location and views were as expected. We go to Hawaii annually, really like the Kona area, but our first stay at this VRBO. Jan was quick to respond when we didn't have hot water. Once we knew it was a breaker issue, we just had to flip it back every few minutes when showering. Minor issue and everything else was great. Thanks.

Oceanfront is impressive. We had nice meals on the balcony, the view and ambiance is unforgettable . Location is perfect for staying in Kona. Magic Sand just disappeared, so we traveled to other places. Nice snorkeling at 4mi bay, walking close to the studio

Great Location - Ocean Sounds!
We stayed here the week before Christmas and had a great visit! This condo is close to downtown but far enough away to not really be in town. There is some traffic noise (as it is right on Alii Drive) but we loved that if we left the sliding doors open to the ocean, the sound of the waves completely covered the traffic sounds. (we do love ocean sounds others may not) The host provides plenty of beach equipment, chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas, etc. It was nice to have all these things. Loved having Magic Sands beach right next door, and a short drive to Kahalu'u Beach Park for a different beach experience. Overall, a great place to stay!

Best kept secret on Kona coast is no more! Condo had everything we needed for our stay! Great to have the beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers to use.

A magical stay
We were so happy during our time here. The lanai was the star of the show - we could watch fish, snorkelers, and the beautiful sunset. One morning we even saw dolphins! The property had everything we needed to get our beach mode on. We loved the convenient location and being able to run next door for a snack when we didn’t feel like cooking.

Great views
We arrived and had 3rd floor room- best for views. But someone is going to have to lug the luggage up those stairs- so bring some muscles. Clean room and beautiful ocean views. Bathroom is small and windows lead out to walkway (which all can hear). Also ran out of hot water on a few occasions. Otherwise it was a real paradise and close to many walking adventures and next to a very public beach. Gorgeous place and views!

Amazing Location
The property exceeded my expectations! The problem is that you will never want to leave the lanai, we spent hours every morning and afternoon just watching the beautiful ocean. The water is so clear you can see mantas, reef fish, turtles and dolphins right from the lanai, no need for a mask and snorkel! The beach and a great restaurant is right next door. The condo is well equipped and one of the first condo's I've ever rented with A/C. Make this property your choice for your stay on the Big Island.
