Kona Magic Sands #305 Oceanfront Living at Its Best

There’s something special about waking up right on the ocean…
Not just seeing it, but feeling it.

At Kona Magic Sands #305, the Pacific is your backdrop from the moment you open your eyes. The rhythmic sound of waves becomes your morning alarm, your afternoon soundtrack, and your evening lullaby.

Perched on the top floor of this intimate oceanfront community, this beautifully remodeled studio offers a front-row seat to everything that makes Kona unforgettable—glowing sunsets, salty breezes, and that unmistakable sense of calm you only find by the water.


Your Private Oceanfront Escape

Step inside and you’re greeted with a bright, thoughtfully updated space designed for comfort and ease:
~Air conditioning to keep you cool after sun-soaked days
~A cozy queen bed where you’ll fall asleep to the sound of the surf
~Fast Wi-Fi + cable TV for when you want to unwind indoors
~ A fully equipped kitchen with cooktop, convection oven, microwave & full-size fridge
~ In-unit washer & dryer (a rare and valuable bonus!)
~ Beach gear included—chairs, towels & cooler for your island adventures
~ Assigned parking for convenience

Every detail is designed so you can settle in effortlessly and start enjoying island life immediately.


Location, Location… Magic Sands

Step outside and you’re instantly immersed in one of Kona’s most iconic settings:
~Magic Sands Beach Park (Laʻaloa) just steps away—perfect for swimming, bodyboarding, and soaking up the sun
~ A quieter park next door for peaceful walks and morning coffee with a view
~ Oceanfront pool overlooking the crashing waves
~ Magics Beach Grill onsite—grab a drink, enjoy fresh island cuisine, and watch the sunset without ever getting in your car

This is the kind of location guests dream about—and return to year after year.


Top-Floor Living = Next-Level Views

Yes, there are stairs—but that’s exactly what makes this unit so special.

Being on the top floor means:
~More privacy
~Better airflow and breezes
~And some of the best unobstructed ocean views in the entire complex

It’s quiet, elevated, and absolutely worth every step.


The Experience

Spend your mornings watching dolphins pass by.
Afternoons at the beach just steps from your door.
Evenings with a glass of wine as the sky melts into shades of orange and pink.

This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to slow down, recharge, and truly experience Kona.


Why Guests Love It
~True oceanfront—nothing between you and the water
~Walkable beach access (rare in Kona)
~Updated interior with A/C + laundry
~Onsite dining + pool
~Perfect balance of adventure and relaxation

If you’re looking for that classic Kona oceanfront experience—simple, beautiful, and unforgettable—
Kona Magic Sands #305 delivers it all.

Love Kona Magic Sands!

This is the fourth unit we’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 washed…weird 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!

Beautiful view! Comfortable bed, and appreciated the in-unit washer and dryer. Unit was well supplied with basic amenities (including laundry and dish soap) and stuff for beach activities (snorkeling, chairs, cooler, towels). Parking was convenient and location was easy for accessing wherever we wanted to go.Blackout curtains or some way to dampen the noise from outside would have been nice. I didn’t realize how loud the ocean is here! Next time we would bring earplugs and eye masks. The light from the in-room AC unit and microwave clock was surprisingly bright.The water heater in our room did not work, despite being set to 140 degrees. Showers were tepid, and led to some minor shivering. Management was notified, and responses were delayed (about 1 response per day). Minimal effort was made to resolve the issue while we were there (a text was sent to us, but when we responded, there was no additional communication). Hopefully they were just waiting until we left to check it out.

Location can’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 can’t rely on the Kona Trolly. It’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! It’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.

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!
