About this property

Boutique Luxury Ocean Front Paradise with AC steps from Magic Sands Beach

The first thing you will notice when you enter the condo is the view of the ocean that fills the entire glass slider making you feel like you are on a ship out at sea. One guest said they dropped to their knees and wept because of the overwhelming view of the ocean.

This unit is located on the second floor without an elevator. The second floor is the best compromise as it is one less flight of stairs and has an unobstructed view of the ocean. First floor units have an obstructed view do to the seawall. Another plus is that this unit is air conditioned as there are still many units without AC in this resort.

This is a premier property located directly on the ocean front off Alii Dr. in Kailua-Kona in the historical Kona Magic Sands Resort. Directly on the North side of the building is a park for yoga, BBQing and picnicking. Thirty feet to the West is the turquoise blue ocean where you can see a plethora of yellow tang fish in the surf, snorkelers, outrigger canoe races, spinner dolphins and frolicking whales. Forty feet to the East of the building is an unobstructed view of Alii Dr. and the final marathon leg of the World Championship Ironman triathlon. Directly on the South side of the building, steps from our unit, is the Magic Sands Beach, which is the only white sand beach in Kailua-Kona. The beach is excellent for boogie boarding and sea turtles commonly swim between your legs while wadding in the warm ocean waters.

I love to take my two mile morning walk to the Green Shack coffee shop and listen to the orchestra of exotic birds. The Kona Trolley shuttle and ebike station are directly across the street if you want a more leisurely travel into downtown Kailua-Kona. The Kona Royal Resort has a top notch luau with a roasted pig cooked in a traditional earthen oven wrapped in tea leaves. It is truly the most delicious thing I've ever eaten.

The big island has so much to offer that it is going to take a life time to experience all of it. Some of the favorites include helicopter tours, active volcano hikes, star gazing from the worlds largest and most scientifically active observatory in the world, whale watching, snorkeling, surfing, swimming with the manta rays, jungle waterfall hikes, deep sea fishing and just plain relaxing. Every time I visit, I never want to leave.

Our studio condo is EXTREMELY luxurious now. We (meaning me) just did a $105,000 remodel by myself. Entering the unit, you are immediately met with a fully functioning 20 inch stainless stove with glass top, all new shaker cabinets with matte black hardware, under mount sink with push button disposal, new 18-inch stainless dishwasher, quartz counter tops with a two stool bar on the end, new 28 gal short water heater, new stainless microwave, full sized stainless refrigerator, cleaning supply closet, coffee nook, wall mount movable 54-inch TV with cabinets housing internet and router equipment, armoire for hanging clothes, dining table with bar stool seating and hula lamp, queen sized sofa sleeper couch for additional guests including portable privacy wall, king sized bed with two door under dresser, matching night stands with matching palm tree lamps, barn door access to bathroom, vanity with back lit mirror, large format tile, glass enclosed shower with mosaic flooring and 20 inch mosaic niche, hooks for swimsuits, shelving for extra towels, laundry basket, full length mirror, a place to put full sized luggage under the bottom shelf for maximizing living space and all new luxury plank flooring. In addition, there is a beach closet in the bathroom, which houses two boogie boards, two beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a regular umbrella for rainy days, two life vests, two sets of snorkel gear, a cooler bag and some beach toys.

The kitchen is full service with everything you should need; dishware, pots and pans, toaster, blender, coffee grinder, coffee press, water heating pot for tea, silverware, utensils, knives, etc. The trash is located in the far left cabinet drawer of the kitchen.

The laundry facility is located ground level on the North side of the building on the Pahoehoe side. The key in the unit will allow you to access the machines that can be operated with coins or better via an app. This key also provides access to the pool and outdoor shower in a bamboo fence located at the entrance off Alii Dr.

You will lay in your bed and fall asleep to the smell of the ocean breeze and the meditative sounds of the ocean waves.

Hopefully you are outside playing as much as possible, but we do have wifi and cable for viewing on a 54-inch tv.

We hope you love your stay as much as we do and have experiences you will remember for a life time.


Mahalo,
Bryan and Jing

Having the ocean out the window was awesome, loud but perfect for us. Got to see whales breaching out our window soon after we arrived. Bonus!! Clean, well equipped and very safe. I am Kama’aina, had a friend visiting, great introduction to Kona side. Looking forward to coming back again soon.Great restaurant on site also.

Wonderful Stay at Magic Sands

This is our 2nd experience staying at the Magic Sands Condo complex, and it is a great place. The crashing of the waves will drown out all other noises leaving you feel much more secluded. It’s close to town and easy to find.

Postcard worthy view!

Our vacation started with this property, and I am so glad it did! The ocean views are absolutely stunning. We were able to see fish in the waves from the dining room table, and it has a front and center view of the sunset! The location is perfect, and is just steps away from the Magic Sands beach. There is also a cute little restaurant located in the building which was nice for when we wanted a quick bite before our journey around the island. It is also minutes away from downtown Kona and a good selection of restaurants.

Incredible Location

Absolutely loved this location! Totally the best place on planet Earth. Building and unit feels a bit run down and outdated but still quite comfortable. The ceiling fan and stove were in poor condition and need replacement. Overall, it was equipped with everything we needed and we had a wonderful and memorable time here.

Sunsets are incredible

You cannot get any closer to the ocean than we are here! The room is just as described and has everything you need. Very close to shops if you wanted to walk to dinner. Parking space is a little tight - luckily while we were here there was an open space next to us and behind us so we could make adjustments (my husband is a UPS driver so he's very good at getting into spaces and he said this would have been difficult if those spots were full so just a heads up). You can hear some traffic noise but nothing crazy. It was a great spot for us to spend a few days.

Great Location

My family of 3 enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The living room doors open right on to the ocean and the property was near shopping and restaurants. There is nothing better than forgetting to charge your son’s white noise machine in this property because we were able to use the ocean waves as white noise. THATS how close and loud the water is. Bryan, the property manager, was responsive and accommodating. There’s a restaurant on the ground floor, we didn’t try it, but it had good google reviews and live music! We will definitely be back for another stay

Perfect, Relaxing setting

I often go to sleep with a sound machine with ocean waves. This place was the real thing with the volume control being the sliding glass door. (Trust me - you are so close to the ocean that the crashing waves can be loud). We saw spinner dolphins in the morning, a beautiful sunset, and without the moon - a star gazing delight. Thank you Bryan for communicating with us in advance as to what to expect. We would love to return!

About the host

Hosted by Bryan Walz

Host profile image
Jing Pineau and I are partners in life and partners in real estate. We live in Colorado and love the outdoors. In Colorado, we camp, backpack, rock climb, fish, mountain bike, road bike, yoga, hike and go to the gym. We have been to the other islands, but the big island has all they offer and more. It is so relaxing to visit that it is hard for us to leave.

Why they chose this property

This property is located in such a great spot. There is a park on the North side of building, the ocean on the West side of building, Alii Dr. on the East side of building and Magic Sands Beach on the South end of the building. Magic Sands it the only white sand beach in Kailua-Kona. Alii Dr. is the street that the final leg of the Ironman World Championship marathon portion is run. You will have the perfect view from the 2nd story balcony. You can walk to everywhere or take the Kona trolley or app payable bikes, which are located in the parking lot directly across the street. Only need for a car is to visit other parts of the island. Also, we have the highest rated restaurant in our building. The sunset views can't be topped. People from all over Kona come to our beach to watch the sunset.

What makes this property unique

This unit is located on the second floor with an unobstructed view of the ocean. First floor views are obstructed by the seawall. Third floor just adds unnecessary extra stairs. Our unit has AC. Many units in the building still don't have AC. Also, our unit is the newest remodeled unit. A $105,000 very luxuriously remodeled unit.

The condo is complete with all the cookware, dishes, utensils, etc., stove/oven, microwave, coffee pot, and has kids beach toys, beach shoes, snorkeling gear, beach chairs and umbrellas, drink coolers, beach pads and beach towels.
