🏖️Ocean Views | Across the Street from Beach | WIFI | vrKCV

Our criteria for a family of 4 includes:Space: it had two bedrooms, one of the bedrooms has two separate beds for the 2 kids. The living room also has a pullout - not sure they mention that in the description. Proximity to beach: very close to magic sands , although the beach had no sand due to high surf in winter. In summer or other months it likely does. We couldn’t go into the water at all due to how tight it was in Dec- early jan. Laundry: unit had one, not sure why they don’t provide laundry detergent/ it is a small thing - and a huge miss in my opinion. Place is really close to Keahou shopping center - which has nice restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed golfing at Kona club and visiting coffee plantations, especially Heavenly. Small standalone ac units in each room in addition to central one. Generally, the bathrooms are dated and hit water was an issue/ it was generally warm and the bathroom shower operation isn’t good. There are some beach items available / we found the beach umbrella and beach mats useful. Would be great to add a couple beach chairs. We did not use pool or common areas, but saw people using them/ including gas grills by the pool.

Our stay at this location was very pleasant. Our interactions with the property management company for the unit was outstanding in all cases. They provided access to David, the concierge as an optional complimentary service. He was wonderful - very responsive and was able to suggest some really good things to see and do on the big island. The Manta Ray swim that he arranged for us was the highlight of our trip. The unit was spotlessly clean and right across the street from a nice beach with beautiful water. The artwork was visually pleasing in a mostly Hawaiian style. The Lanai was large with newer outdoor furniture and plenty of room to enjoy. There was also several masks, snorkels and noodles. Nothing is perfect however - so I will say that the bathrooms, although nicely updated in flooring, painted walls and lighting - would benefit from some updates in the bath and shower tiles and fixtures. The kitchen only had a few spices and some canola oil spray - so you may need to plan for that when doing a grocery run. Other than that, I could find no fault with this well-kept and well-managed unit.

Perfect for family vacation. 2min. Walk to Magic Sands Beach Park.

If i am to return, i would want to stay in this exact same unit! Very nice unit.

Great condo in a great location.

We loved how large it was & the designated spaces for our family of 4. The kids had no issues in their own room and in the evenings they would go to sleep and we'd enjoy time on the deck. Nice and clean. Well stocked with linens but missing basic amenities like coffee, tea, tinfoil, starter bottles of water, conditioner, an outdoor drying rack and basic spices/condiments. We also had to check out at 11am and tried to extend our rental a day since we didn't fly out until 11pm that night, but they were unable to accommodate the extension. If you have kids, I recommend paying for an extra day if you have a red-eye flight. Highly recommend the Magic Sands restaurant across the road, but BBQing while the kids swam was our fav. The pool is great and well maintained. The grounds and parking are awesome. We do not recommend the Kona Trolley - it is always late and gross. Rent a car the whole time or take an Uber. Kona itself is really cool and the local beaches enjoyable but not really swimmable. For kids stick to the pool or drive to Hapuna Beach or Anaeho'omalu Beach. The Black Sands down south are a must see, but go on a cloudy day as it's hot and gritty. DO NOT waste your time at Botanical World or Hilo. The Volcano National Park was amazing. Pack a ton of food and water when you adventure anywhere. The island is really lacking in consistent places to eat. We had a really nice time and the kids had a blast. This unit was a great home base for it and highly recommend!

clear and beautiful condo next to white sand beach.

My family and I had an excellent stay! When we arrived it was easy to locate the place, our parking space, and start our vacation. It was a huge blessing to have a washer and dryer on site especially when we first arrived and all of the items in our luggage had been soaked from the downpour at the airport. It was really nice to have two full bathrooms for our family of four. And you can't beat the location; right across from the Magic Sands Beach which we ended our day at almost every night. The place was quiet, cozy, and had all of the amenities for us to make breakfast and dinner. The air conditioner worked well and kept us nice and cool. We would definitely stay here again if we ever get the amazing opportunity to return to the Big Island.

Great location magic sands is beautiful lots of surfing and body surfing safely. Condo is very nice but advertised as sleeps 6 adults but that is with two adults on a tiny futon. But it all worked out. Really great location

Pros: Property was in good location. Rooms spacious. Amenities Good. Cons: Noisy neighbors doing construction projects. Washing machine leaked. Invisible bugs bit us up. Dusty floors. On site manager not available during business hours. Owner's car in our parking spot.

This condo was a little older than some of the other ones we have stayed in but the beds were nice and comfy, plenty of clean sheets and towels, lots of pillows. The air conditioner was very loud, but it did keep the unit cool and the condo was spacious. Not lots of comfortable seating but if someone was planning on sleeping on the couch it wouldn't be bad. The shower heads need to be replaced. I'm not sure what is going on there, they work but the extension hose leaks. The washer/dryer worked well. We swam a lot in the pool, which was nice and warm, but it is almost entirely deep end, which is inconvenient for just standing around in the pool. Hot tub was very hot and awesome. The lanai was big and beautiful. Sound of birds in the morning was lovely. The beach across the street is a nice one but we never went to it because it was absolutely packed with people the entire time we stayed. The condo cleans out everything after every stay, so don't expect cooking oil, left over coffee, etc. Parking was convenient. Condo is up 2 flights of stairs, but you can take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk up just a half flight if you like. The location was not bad, just a short drive on Ali'i to the main shops/restaurants, easy access to the "highway." There is a restaurant across the street you can walk to with beautiful views and a yummy shaved ice place in the next parking lot over, both are expensive but very convenient. We had a great trip! Mahalo!

Very nice 2br came as advertised Good location away from downtown but still close. Small beach across the street. Office on site always closed so could not get a pool key. Other than that there were no problems

The property was clean, comfortable and convenient to the places we wanted to go and see. The WiFi was a little temperamental at times, but overall would highly recommend this unit.
