We had a lovely experience! The ocean view was better than anywhere we have stayed before. The room was clean and stocked with plenty of ocean gear, chairs, snorkeling items, boards etc. The restaurant is on the water with ocean views and the taco shack had amazing coffee, treats and fresh fruit! Plenty of shopping and other beaches only 10 l-15 min down the road. We had a great time! Thanks again!

We had a slight hiccup with the cleaning of the condo, however, Sage made things right for us. The condo is comfortable and roomy for a studio and the view of the ocean is spectacular. The condo is well-appointed with everything you need. The proximity to Magic Sands Beach and Kailua-Kona town make it a convenient spot.

Great location next to Magic Sands Beach (aka disappearing sands beach, so there may or may not be an abundance of sand on the beach).This is a prime location in Kona, one mile south of the best simple snorkel spot in Kona, right on Magic beach and about 3 miles from the bay.Magics Beach Grill offers great food and you can stay close to home or make daytrips up and down the coast from this central location.Don't miss Cook's Bounty farm stand in Captain Cook 15 minutes away. Groceries and pharmacy easy access at plaza 7 minutes south (easier than going to town for quick needs). Highly recommend this spot and the rental was as advertised.

Cannot get any closer to the ocean! i obstructive view! Breath taking!! Studio condo that was everything we needed! Full kitchen for cooking or simply take a stroll to go eat at nearby restaurant/food trucks or a short drive to town. AC offered if gets a little too warm, but the ocean breeze and sound is what we came for! Pool on site, or located adjacent to Magic Beach on one side and great park area on the other!

The view and location are great. You really are on top of the water. The host was very responsive.The road is pretty noisy but the sound of the waves will drown it out once inside.The unit itself is OK- very average condition and could use some updating. There is no dishwasher in the kitchen. The screens to the back/outside were jammed when we were there which wasn't an issue because there is no balcony. The bed was way too soft for my wife and I. Decent value here for Hawaii.

Great spot

Great location right by the beach with gorgeous views from the room and beautiful sunsets. Good spot to explore all parts of the Kona side of the island from. Only down side was the tiny water heater. We had to learn to take a 3-4 min shower each before the hot water ran out but certainly not a deal breaker.

They are not kidding that it is ocean front! RIGHT over the water. Which was amazing and kept us up one of the nights because the waves were so loud. So crazy! The place is very cute. I think removing that popcorn ceiling would go a long way. Very clean. The hot water in the shower is not that hot. It was fine, but I like hot showers and this was not that. The restaurant in that building is a gem, far better than anything we ate at in Kona so check that out. Thanks for a nice stay.

Great location for beach lovers

Easy access to a great, sandy beach and spectacular view of the ocean from the room. I will say the view from the room is a little bit affected by the residual of some old window treatments, but if you open the windows there it is. The host was very responsive to questions via text. The overall property itself is on the older-side and shows a little bit of wear, such as the pool area, but it is still comfortable and in a great location if you are coming to Hawaii for a beach and those lovely ocean sunsets.

Little piece of heaven

We loved staying here! The place is very clean with beautiful art pieces on the wall. It is a third floor unit so you never hear anyone above you. It's also located about in the middle so not too close to the pool or the parking area. They have basic amenities stocked including beach gear you can use steps away at Magic Sands. And the view is ridiculous - crashing waves and sunsets. Your can even see reef fish in the water. This place is magical.

She ensured that our check in process was flawless, and it was perfect to get off a long flight and have a place to relax.

Great location!

My wife and I have been visiting Kona once or twice a year for many years and for the past six years, we've brought our child who has really taken a liking to Magic Sands Beach. We usually stay right in downtown Kona, but this time we decided to try a place closer to Magic Sands—and we weren't disappointed! The area was quieter and having the ocean waves crashing right outside was spectacular, especially with the stunning sunset views. With Magic’s Beach Grill/Shack nearby offering coffee and light breakfasts each morning, we were well-prepared for our days. Waking up, grabbing a coffee and a quick bite, and then walking over to the beach was incredibly convenient. As light travelers, the layout of the condo suited us well; my wife and I slept on the bed and our child used the fold-out sofa bed, with plenty of room for all. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this unit if you’re looking for a comfortable oceanside stay.

Disappointing

Overall, we felt this place was rather shabby and way over priced. After the added VRBO and cleaning fees, the price was 378 a night. There is no elevator, so everything had to be carried up three flights of outdoor steps. The bathroom sink drain was slow, the shower is tiny, the bathroom screen allows tiny gnats through, so there are always bugs in the bathroom. There is no balcony. Magic Sands beach is rocks. We appreciated the beach chairs and towels. For a lower price, this place would be ok.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Emery

Host profile image

Aloha, my name is Sage. I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. What a blessing! We love having a condo that provides so much fun for vacationers. This is such a healing place, a fun place, relaxing, adventurous. We love snorkeling and there is amazing snorkeling all over the Island. When we are really fortunate, we get to swim with the dolphins. The best part is the weather! We are originally from Oregon with the seasons. I have to say I do not miss the snow. I love the tropics. We hope you enjoy your time here as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighbor hood because of Magic Sands beach. The second I walked into this condo, I knew people would love it. And they do! There is a trolley to get around for free. A restaurant attached to the building. A park on the other side for quiet times. Down town Kona is 10 minutes away. It is a prime location!

What makes this property unique

The moment you walk in the door and look out over the ocean you will know why this property is so special. The view is spectacular. Also, for those who do not want to get into the waves, we have a swimming pool area next to the beach.
