Aloha & Welcome — 2BR/2BA King Beds, Beach Gear, Pool & Hot Tub | Steps from Magic Sands

Relax into island life at this spacious 2-bed, 2-bath condo at White Sands Village, directly across from Magic Sands Beach. Our building is tucked toward the back of the complex in a quieter, garden-facing setting — about a 10-minute walk to the sand.

Rated 9.8/10 across 82 verified reviews, guests consistently tell us this feels like the most thoughtfully stocked, peaceful home base they've found at WSV.

• Garden views with a fabulous peek-a-boo glimpse of the ocean from the lanai
• Updated interior that feels like a true home base
• Two King bedrooms — ideal for two couples, families, or friends splitting costs
• Beach-ready gear — chairs, umbrellas, coolers, snorkels, fins, boogie boards & more

Steps to Magic Sands Beach
Walk to one of Kona's most iconic beaches — known for its soft sand, turquoise water, and occasional "magic" disappearing sand. Enjoy swimming, boogie boarding, snorkeling, and sunset watching.

Great communication with this host. Very easy check-in process with a keyless entry - this was good for us as we arrived at 10 at night. Super location within an easy walk to the Magic Sands Beach and just a little south of downtown Kona which is nice to get away from the crowds. The lanai faces a pretty area of vegetation with lots of birds and a you can see a small sliver of ocean, which was a bonus as we weren't expecting any ocean view. Lots of beach gear on the lanai, thick beach towels in the condo, even some sunscreen available. They have ice bricks in the freezer and a water filter pitcher in the fridge. Everything was spotless and clean and in excellent condition. The beds were super comfortable with lots of pillows, plenty of towels in the bathrooms, and a brand new washer & dryer. This property is very well cared for and loved - and it shows. We appreciated all the little touches and extras - of the 7 properties we stayed at during our trip, this one was our favorite. :-) I have absolutely nothing negative to say!

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 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!
