Ocean View Beach Condo, Top Floor at Magic Sands Beach

Picture yourself in paradise, a spacious elevator-accessible top floor 1 bedroom 2 bath condo with expansive living/dining area. Step out onto a double-wide tiled lanai with beautiful ocean & mountain views. We are in the most quiet & private building in the back of the White Sands Village complex, right across from Magic Sands Beach, the only white sand swimming beach in Kona. You are far from traffic noise and next to a natural preserve. Wake to the sounds of parrots and other wild birds.

Begin and end a day of frolicking in the ocean waves right across the street. Or take advantage of the newly renovated heated salt water swimming pool, spa, tennis courts, sauna, game room with pool table, and use one of the 4 gas BBQ grills. Or simply enjoy the colorful, beautifully manicured White Sands Village foliage and swaying palm trees.

At day's end, watch a spectacular sunset from your lanai as the sea breezes cool you off and warm your heart. Wonderful breezes sweep through the rooms most of the year with both front and rear screen doors for ventilation, a multitude of floor and ceiling fans available to contribute to the flow. We also have central air for those times when it is too hot or humid.


Our condo was originally a thousand square foot two bedroom apartment. It was converted to one bedroom in order to double the living room / dining room space. It will feel large compared to many other units.

You'll have no stairs to negotiate - your covered parking space is right by the elevator which lets you off right near your front door.

The condo has mango wood cabinets and hardwood floors in every room. Picture yourself in a well-organized kitchen complete with updated double-wide refrigerator, dishwasher, electric stove/oven and microwave, and toaster, blender, coffee maker and other appliances. The dining room table seats eight, next to a cabinet storing Palm Tree dishes and glassware, or, if you prefer, simple white stoneware is available in a kitchen cabinet.

The bedroom with a very comfortable queen bed. The two bathrooms give you a choice of a beautiful tiled shower with bench or a tub/shower combination with glass backsplash.

Comfortable recliners look out to the lanai which has its own dining table with four chairs. A queen size sofa bed completes a cozy combo facing the 48" Sony flatscreen TV for kicking back and enjoying cable entertainment nestled in with lots of art on the walls and lanai.

Plenty of towels, beach chairs, sand mats and ice chests are available for your enjoyment. A stacked washer/dryer awaits. There is lots of closet space filled with everything you might need including an iron!

To prepare for your on-island pursuits, a travel binder and brochures are at your fingertips as well as a charging station including two USB ports for all of your electronics.

Snorkeling among the hundreds of colorful exotic fish in the calm waters at Kahaluu Beach Park, only a mile south, is grand for both novices and the more experienced alike. Waves break just right at the north end of the park, making it a perfect location to learn how to surf under the guidance of local instructors.

Keauhou Shopping Center which hosts KTA Supermarket, Longs Drug, Regal Movie Theaters and many smaller shops and restaurants is only another mile south.

Kona Country Club's top notch golf courses are open to the public and are also only 2 miles away. Keauhou Bay, also in the same area is the launching point for many water based tours and activities on the Kona Coast. Downtown Kailua-Kona with its many attractions is only a little over three miles north. And you must visit Gypsea Gelato, which we believe has the best gelato outside of Europe, in the town of Kealakekua, a scenic 15 minute drive away.

One of the best things is how quiet it is. Most oceanfront accommodations along Alii Drive suffer from some traffic noise. We are far enough from the road so that we don't have any. And at White Sands Village, the lanais in the front two buildings face each other over the pool area. Our building is much more private. And, being on the top floor, we don't have to worry about hearing someone's footsteps over us!

You will need to sign a rental contract and agree to abide by the White Sands Village House Rules in order for your booking to be finalized. The rules are fairly standard - and are written with safety and consideration of all guests in mind.

*Please note that our unit is now for sale. There is a small chance that someone could request to see it while you are there. Although unlikely, if that happens, you will be given adequate notice and will need to be out of the condo for a short time during normal daylight hours.

Hawaii Law requires that we post our Transient Accommodations Tax ID and our Short Term Vacation Rental Permit Number. The Tax ID is TA-124-260-9664-01 and the permit number is STVR-19-377459.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreational amenities such as a water park and a sauna. Additional amenities at this condo include an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Featured amenities include laundry facilities and an elevator.

Lovely condo, great location!

My husband and I stayed 4 nights at White Sands. It’s close to great beaches. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and having a washer/dryer! The condo was clean and well stocked. Hosts were responsive and helpful. Highly recommended for a couple or a small family with one or two young children. .

Amazing Views!

I loved being able to see the ocean right from the lanai! Parking was right next to the elevator so it was really convenient. We enjoyed the pool/jacuzzi/sauna.We thought the bed was a little hard for us (i just prefer a bed on the softer side) but we ended up sleeping on the pull out couch. The owners were super responsive. I would definitely stay here again!

Magic Sands Beach

Lovely 1BR, 2BA condo on 3rd floor. Ocean view, close to elevator and covered parking. Conveniently located across the street from Magic Sands Beach Park. Full kitchen, remodeled bathrooms and large lanai are highlights of this property. Look for beach chairs and snorkel gear in entry closet. Short drive along Ali’i Drive to the center of town. Many great restaurants to choose from along the way.

Great location, comfortable

The condo was in a great location right across from Magic Sands beach. It was a short drive into Kailua or down to Captain Cook monument. The unit was spacious and comfortable, well-equipped including beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel equipment etc. The bed was comfortable and overall the unit was clean. The pool was nice although a bit on the small side. The parking spot right by the elevator was a plus. If you are looking for luxury this is not the place, some of the furniture and appliances are a bit dated. But it is comfortable and convenient.

Fun in the sun

Great location to restaurants and beaches. Magic sands Beach is just across the street and a good snorkel beach just a couple of minutes drive. Good view from the third floor balcony and was located across from the elevator which made access easy. Covered parking. Host has a guest book with suggestions for best beaches and activities. The only noise you get is from the beautiful sounds of the many birds, especially early morning and at dusk. Great place to stay.

Lovely Views and Great Getaway!

Our stay at Magic Sands Beach condo was wonderful! The ocean view from the lanai was our favorite place for morning coffee and afternoon sunsets. And the whale-watching was an added bonus! The condo was spotlessly clean and nicely decorated. The leather chairs in the living room were really comfortable! It was conveniently located to shopping and restaurants. Just a great place to call "home" for our 2-week stay on the Big Island!

The condo is exactly what you need for a Kona getaway. It is well located, the lanai provides a lovely view of the ocean, it is clean and well equipped. We appreciated the comfortable surroundings and would definitely consider staying again. The description of the facility is accurate, with one exception. There are no tennis courts. They have been removed.

Convenient and quiet property

The property is exactly as advertised, nice pool, great sunsets. The only bummer was the broken elevator, so climbing with luggage and gear was a pain. The mattress and pillows were uncomfortable, need a refresh. The lanai was great to sit on in the morning having breakfast and watching the water.

Stroll to Magic Sands Daily

We had a great visit- fortunately we had a buddy that just moved there and he was able to drive us all around the island. The elevator was out- our whole 5 nights and 6 days and being on the 3rd floor was somewhat of an inconvience with a bad knee but we managed- could have been a deal break for some though so that should be pointed out if not fixed. Other than that everything was awesome. (One screwn door seemed to not want to stay on track)

Great location!

This condo was in the perfect location, central to a lot of beaches. We really enjoyed walking down to Magic Sands Beach to watch the sunset. The only thing that could have been better is if we felt like we could use the AC. We were quite warm at night and with the windows open the birds would wake us up at 4 in the morning. My poor husband didn't get much sleep! The kitchen had just about everything you need and more. It was so nice to have a cooler to pack our lunch in, too. Over all we really enjoyed our stay here.

Unique property in White Sands Village

This condo has been transformed into a comfortable 1 bedroom apartment, ideal for one person or a couple. It is very quiet - off the road. Many WSV properties are quite noisy, but not this one. WSV has many amenities in addition to being across the street from Magic Sands Beach. You can catch the shuttle into town or up to the grocery and drug store a short distance away. Comfort and convenience in one beautifully decorated condo.

Amazing Nesting Birds w/Whales Galore

All honesty…Everything was clean & adequate. We have stayed in fancier places but this listing has a lot more going for it with the location and views. The pics are accurate. The pool is nice because it’s deep, but if you have little kids bring floaties. The best part about this place is the birds nesting at night, you know after watching whales breach all day…from the balcony! (Maybe bring binoculars) It’s 3 stories up right at tree top. The birds chirp as they climb into the treetops to nest for the night & for about 1/2 hour until sunset it’s an amazing thing to hear (& I don’t even like birds). Parking/elevator/front door are a couple steps away. Nice & convenient! Trolley stop right on street. This location & views make it a cool place to stay. Highly recommend!

Great Kailua/Kona condominium

The unit was well stocked, clean and comfortable. The location is perfect with a short drive to the shops in downtown, and equally short jaunt to the beautiful Captain Cook area. White Sands Village is a well maintained complex, and the unit is towards the back away from the street so pretty quiet. It's clear the hosts care about their guests and want to ensure a great stay.
