Relax in This Newly Upgraded Condo with Lanai Near Magic Sands Beach

We enjoyed our time at the condo!

Great place to stay, just steps away from beach. Condo has everything you need for a great vacation. Nice pool and BBQ area. Quiet and clean complex.

Great condo, with a large lanai with morning and early afternoon sun. Magic Sands is directly across the street (3 min walk). Instacart delivered groceries to the address no issue. I'd stay here again. Notes, not complaints: The stove is induction and was somewhat fussy to cook with, enough so I started to avoid it and planned BBQ, oven or meats/cheese/olives instead. It was partially my inexperience, but it seemed to not work well with the pans provided. Also needs a peeler and cheese grater.

We loved the location and that we could see whales from the balcony most mornings. The location was a bit quieter than the more northern part of Ali’i Drive. We also loved having access to the pool and hot tub. Unfortunately, when we checked in the dishwasher wasn’t working and the fridge was missing two shelves, which made it awkward to use. During our stay the vent hood also malfunctioned, which meant we couldn’t use the vent hood while cooking or the microwave at all. Property management was quick to respond but the kitchen wasn’t as use-able as we had wanted. We’d stay there again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was very frustrated because it was dirty I have pictures and proof and it had roaches I felt disgusted

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this place: its location, the sound of birds in the morning, the peekaboo ocean view, the furnishings, the details provided for. We've stayed in many Kona condos, and while this was not the fanciest it was absolutely one of the most enjoyable. Peaceful, well appointed (every detail thought out), and with a beach for watching sunrises and sunsets right across the street.

Condo has been nicely renovated. Well stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and snorkel gear. Kitchen is well stocked, including a pantry with lots of goodies in it.

Excellent stay loved it would stay here again

A few things could be better like the bed was too soft for us and the fan above the bed is not the best. Noisy from time to time. The dishwasher had some issues. It was having trouble draining and was leaking.

Meets pretty much with what everyone else has said about property. Location is perfect. Condo itself is good, updated kitchen, roomy and decorated. There were some minor issues discovered throughout stay. Dishwasher is a challenge to work (possibly leaks a bit?) but did its job. Management was great about getting us a coffee grinder immediately (BIG Thanks! I mean we are in Kona ;). other issues called on like the ceiling fan in primary room makes squeaking, grinding noise, and wobbles when on high, maintenance came and looked at and said it needed replaced. So we used AC more than usual. Further investigation showed a blade is missing a screw, push the blade back where it belongs, run on low and works fine for cooling. The kettle was killed and left on counter by a prior guest (Its tucked away in cupboard now). There is no bed coverlet for primary bed, which is really odd, Just a sheet (the twin beds had nice tropical coverlets). We let Mgmt. know but as we didn't say we needed one (there were spare blankets that worked fine) nothing was suggested or done by Mngmt. I truly hated calling on any of these things but also didn't want to be blamed. Mngmt. did reach out quickly but essentially with a "let us know what we can do". We didn't "Need" a bed cover or a kettle and I resolved the fan issue on own so never asked management to fix anything except for the fan which we never heard back on. Having an owner and a manager to contact is tedious but I guess it all part and parcel for rentals (like the construction next door for a few days). Its a balancing act for owners and renters! Other items; Condo could use a vacuum (there is carpeting and a rug but only a broom for cleaning up with and we were here 3 weeks), more silverware (we kept running out in a day with 4 adults). The tennis courts no longer exist and should be noted on listing. Of note, all cookware is stainless steel, lots of spices and cooking utensils. There is a wonderful sturdy manual juicer and if we'd thought about it earlier would highly recommend getting fruits to juice. There are pool towels (NOT Beach towels just regular towels). One good heavy odd shaped cooler and lots of ice packs (A lighter beach cooler would be nice). Never used but looked like one boogie board, umbrella and pool floaties were available too. Love having a washer and dryer. Thought Beds and couch were fine. Overall good value for a great location. Would stay here again

Over all we are happy with the apartment. The only complain is the dishwasher won't drain and it did not get addressed until we left.

This property worked perfectly for our stay. It had plenty of room for our family and was in a centrally located location to get to the beaches we wanted to visit. Plenty of places to eat nearby too. The condo was quiet and fully stocked with all the amenities needed for a week's vacation. The only issue we encountered was the carafe on the coffee pot - the housekeeper brought one to us on the first day because the original was damaged when she cleaned and it was actually too small. We had to improvise in order to get the pot to work, but definitely not a major issue. Very happy with our stay and made our first time on the Big Island enjoyable! Mahalo! :)
