Love Kona Magic Sands!

This is the fourth unit weโ€™ve stayed in at Kona Magic Sands. We love the location next to the beach, perfect for us. The room could have been cleaner, especially the railing and slider door really need to have someone clean off the flies, windows could have been washedโ€ฆweird that we pay a cleaning fee and we pretty much had to clean the room, wash towels, etc. other than that we had a great time!

Location canโ€™t be beat! Ocean, sunsets and beach at your fingertips

Magic Sands is a fantastic location. Period. This unit has a brand new renovated kitchen, and a new fridge with filtered water. Everything else in the unit is fine; all that really matters is the view out the window; boogie boarders, surfers, boats, kayakers, whales, dolphins. You are right on the ocean, and the waves can be loud - night and day. A nice problem to have :-)

Perfection!

We enjoyed our stay - the location is fantastic! Took the beach chairs to Magic Sands every morning. There are so many fish right outside the condo - you can see them in the wake! Snorkeling was magical. The condo itself had plenty of room for my husband and I. Bed comfy, well stocked and clean. Word of advice - you canโ€™t rely on the Kona Trolly. Itโ€™s never on time. Rent a car or use Uber/Lyft. We would definitely love to come back!

Expectation Met

It was our 45th anniversary! The unit was right on budget and located where it was central to our activities! Upon entering the unit the view will take your breath away, the sunsets are exquisite, the ocean breezes and the sound of the waves are phenomenal and constant, you will leave the doors open as we did continuously! Dawn and Tim were reachable at anytime & promptly replied on our inquiries. There were 2 pods of Dolphins that swam right in front of the lanai! What a site! If you love barbecuing they have a couple they were handy for the steaks! Itโ€™s fully equipped with appliances, linens, dishes and even beach chairs, we had a spectacular time, enjoy your time there! 5+ rating Tom & Deb (Canada)

Dirty sheets

We arrived from the mainland tired and soon got into bed. The first thing I noticed was that sheets smelled bad. They were stinky!! I tried to go to sleep. I was so tired, but the smell kept me awake. I kept waking up to the smell. I decided to go to grocery the first thing in the morning and wash the sheets. Fortunately there was a washer and detergent there. When I removed the sheets, there was sand where the feet would be. My conclusion was that someone had been sleeping in those sheets! Disgusting!!!

Great Spot!

This is an old classic cinderblock shoreline complex that has been renovated into modern studios - right on the shore with the perfect southwest position to view the sunsets.. The white noise from the beach was out of this world and we slept very well on the firm mattress. The waters right off the complex offer excellent snorkeling and they have a well maintained large swimming pool for those who prefer that too. the appliances are brand new and everything worked for us. We barely used the AC, the breeze through the unit from the ocean and secure screen door was all we needed.

ocean front

It was a nice place to stay, had every thing we needed. Ocean was noisy and it was hot so we closed windows and turned on AC at night. Never used pool, but it looked nice. location was good. not too noisy. shower water could have been hotter, especially problematic when dish washer was running, but tolerable. Safe in cabinet did not work, maybe needs batteries. dragging luggage up stairs is a chore, but only do it once per trip. I would stay there again.

This is the 5th time we stayed at Magic Sands and have loved it every time. Mornings are special drinking coffee watching for whales, spinner dolphins, and the locals trying to catch one of the monster waves at the beach next door.

Stunning Location and Sounds

My main desire for booking this property was to be able to hear the beach from the room and to have access to the nearby shore. Both did not disappoint. Sleeping to the sounds of the waves crashing into the rocks was perfect, and a short walk to the beach provided regular opportunities to swim and bask in the sun. We rarely heard sounds from others staying in the rooms nearby and it provided an amazing Hawaii experience. Will definitely book again!

Lovely condo, much crazier Magic Sands Beach!!!

Condo is nice, truly well done, with everything one would need ( although my my hubby fixed boogie boards so they had โ€œleashes โ€œ) I initially didnโ€™t like the no outside lanai, but apparently, those are all being reconstructed. I adjusted Magic Sands Beach was great, ver early in the morning. Otherwise it was like Spring break , just crazy! Plus the surf was rough the whole time! We saw ambulances, frequent lifeguard warnings, etc. Still love it, but definitely it has changed!
