Rental Details
Property Overview
Vintage Hawaiian Oceanfront Paradise
Pop back in time and relax in 60's mod style in this quaint vintage apartment hotel, capturing a front row center view of Magic Sands Beach since 1963.
Roll out of the soft and cozy queen size bed and step right across the street to take a dip in the turquoise blue ocean. This beach is ever changing, as Namaka (Hawaiian goddess of the sea), works her magic on the soft white sand, taking it away and then putting it back, earning its name for the magically disappearing sands. Popular for boogie boarding and snorkeling, you can see bright schools of yellow tangs and black batfish right from the shore. Visitors and locals all love to gather at this beach to watch the spectacular sunsets!
When it’s time to grab a bite, across the street is a walk up grill where you can get a cup of fresh roasted Kona coffee and breakfast in the morning, or lunch in the afternoon. They make incredible acai bowls with fresh local fruit! You can grab a beer or cocktail to go here and enjoy it on the beach. Also across the street is Magics Beach Grill, offering oceanside dining lit by tiki torches with spectacular reef fish viewing and glowing sunsets! Downtown Kona is just 4 miles away with a variety of restaurants to choose from. Don’t feel like driving? The Kona trolley stops right here and will take you downtown or to the nearest shopping center where you can pick up some food if you feel like making a laid back meal at home in your fully stocked kitchenette. Enjoy dining in at a handcrafted mango bar top table, with a stellar view of the ocean.
Kona White Sands has the honor of being one of very few hotels in Kona with a beach right out front. Whether you plan to relax in a hammock on the beach or experience the many adventures this island has to offer, you will feel at home in this unique vintage Hawaiian apartment hotel.

This is not your average place, very eclectic and unique. Very well stocked with thoughtful inclusions for coffee lovers and some fun drinkware. If you like being right in the middle of the action, this is your place. Hosts were fantastic. We left a bag behind and Andi helped problem solve getting it returned. Even after being left for several days in the agreed-upon location, everything was still in the bag. So grateful!It would’ve been fantastic to leave the siding glass door open with the screen door so we could hear the ocean waves crashing on the beach across the street, but the late night/early morning beach-going partiers we’re a bit too noisy for what we’re used to. It was really warm closing the door even with the fans on. Maybe a little portable AC unit could be an investment to consider for the future. Otherwise, this is a super great place if being immersed in the liveliness of the area is your jam and you’re not sensitive to noise like we are.Thanks so much!
We appreciated the attention to details that made us feel so welcome.
We sent our daughter and husband here on their honeymoon and they reported having a good experience! In particular they noted that there was beach gear including a boogie board and snorkels, and the beach was right across the street! They did note the absence of air conditioning but said that the fans kept them from being uncomfortable. Overall, they said it was great, and perfect for two people!
The location is great. Due to the season the Magic sands beach across the street was rocky but we enjoyed mornings and sunsets on the beach. The room was comfortably equipped with everything we needed.
My best friend and I stayed here. We both adored your Vrbo. Beautiful decorated and had everything a guest could need. Good location, surprisingly quiet neighbors for how close the units are. Thank you for allow us to stay and making my friends first time on the island memorable.
This place doesn't have ac
Loved this condo! We had fun listening to the records while relaxing in the evenings. The rental is stocked with everything you need for the beach. The tiki decor is very thoughtfully selected and so much fun. It’s exactly as pictured and very clean and comfortable.Though there is no A/C, we had a nice breeze through the unit. We would happily stay here again in the future.
This is a great little condo! Beach is fantastic and the condo vibe is perfect. Thanks for a fenatastic few days!!!
Beautiful sunsets, beach view while standing on lani kitchen had everything I needed. Very relaxing place
Fabulous space! We loved it!
What a fun place to stay! And all the essentials from big to small things. Love the location and will come back again
Excellent location: The 201 bus was great when we wanted to see a bit of the surrounding area but didn’t want to drive, and everything from Hawi to Volcanoes NP was a manageable drive. Incredible hosts: Andi and Andrew were responsive and friendly, and of course, nailed the theme of the apartment 100%. Their recommendations were spot-on, too. We tried almost all their picks and found nary a loser in the bunch!Mahalo, Atomic Tiki. You did not disappoint…
Stay was great! Location is great! All of the touches and thoughtful hosts were amazing.
Fantastic property. Amazing decorating. Owners extremely responsive.
Great stay. Andi and Andrew were extremely easy to communicate with and have incredible attention to detail. The place looks and is exactly as described. Would love to come back!
This place is AMAZING! The location is the best jumping off point and right across from the beach. We left the screen door open while sleeping and heard the waves all night long. The amenities were flawless... Old record player, a fridge full of condiments and lil necessities, and a touch of Hawaiian love from the hosts. I could stay here forever.
Everything about the place was great! The location was beautiful. Just across from Magic sands beach! Rental was well equipped with everything we needed
Loved the themed condo. Condo was clean with a lot of amenities provided. Communication with host was prompt. We had a great stay. Would stay here again!
Loved our stay in this retro outfitted condo. Clean and comfortable with the sounds of the ocean across the street. Great locale. Nice off street parking. Well appointed for your own cooking and close to all amenities. We really enjoyed our stay.
We loved our stay at Atomic Tiki! I have no idea why this place doesn't have more reviews. I'll admit that had me worried when we were booking, but the interior design won out, and I'm so glad we decided to go with it. The hosts were very friendly, and every detail was accounted for. We especially enjoyed the little drink umbrellas they'd stocked. 10/10 would stay here again!
Perfect for the 2 of us. Loved the decor. We had everything we needed and more! Loved the sunsets! We would definitely stay at the Atomic Tiki again. Thank you for our stay!
They were amazing at responding quickly and giving travel tips. Also the detail of the place was awesome and gave such a fun vibe! Would recommend to anyone!
We really liked being close to the locals who spend a lot of time at Magic Sands Beach. The unit was very clean with all the extras needed for vacation i.e. beach chairs, cooler, beach umbrella. We had a great time, thank for sharing your space!
Atomic Tiki was one of the best condos I’ve rented. I was on a solo vacation and the space was super relaxing and felt very safe. The decor was wonderful, pillows super comfy and the amenities provided everything I needed to make my stay comfortable and convenient. Beach gear was a bonus and much appreciated. Hosts were super responsive. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would book again.
