This is a premier property located directly on the ocean front off Alii Dr. in Kailua-Kona in the historical Kona Magic Sands Resort. Directly on the North side of the building is a park for BBQing and picnicing. Early morning yogis frequent this park. Thirty feet to the West is the turquoise blue ocean where you can see a plethora of yellow tang fish in the surf, snorkelers, outrigger canoe races, spinner dolphins and frolicking whales. Forty feet to the East of the building is an unobstructed view of Alii Dr. and the final marathon leg of the World Championship Ironman triathlon. Directly on the South side of the building is the Magic Sands Beach, which is the only white sand beach in Kailua-Kona. The beach is excellent for boogie boarding and sea turtles commonly swim between your legs while wadding in the warm ocean waters.
I love to take my two mile morning walk to the Green Shack coffee shop and listen to the orchestra of exotic birds. The Kona Trolley shuttle and ebike station are directly across the street if you want a more leisurely travel into downtown Kailua-Kona. The Tropics bar is a great place to quench your thirst with an ice cold Big Swell IPA. The Kona Royal Resort has a top notch luau with a roasted pig cooked in a traditional earthen oven wrapped in tea leaves. It is truly the most delicious thing I've ever eaten.
The big island has so much to offer that it is going to take a life time to experience all of it. Some of the favorites include helicopter tours, whale watching, snorkeling, surfing, swimming with the manta rays, jungle waterfall hikes, deep sea fishing and just plain relaxing. Every time I visit, I never want to leave.
Our studio condo has been nicely remodeled with granite counter tops, tiled back splash, new flooring, new ceiling fans and updated paint. It is decorated in the traditional island motif with bamboo furniture, floral patterns and local art with tributes to our neighbors, the sea turtles. The kitchen is equipped with a stove/oven, microwave, coffee pot and all the necessary dish and cookware. We have beach towels, snorkel equipment, kids beach toys, boogie boards, umbrella, water shoes, pads and chairs including drink coolers for your convenience. There is also a coin operated laundry facility onsite, located on the North side of the building for lengthier stays.
The bed is a Queen sized bed that has eight under drawers and a pass through cabinet. The couch is a ...

You cannot get any closer to the ocean than we are here! The room is just as described and has everything you need. Very close to shops if you wanted to walk to dinner. Parking space is a little tight - luckily while we were here there was an open space next to us and behind us so we could make adjustments (my husband is a UPS driver so he's very good at getting into spaces and he said this would have been difficult if those spots were full so just a heads up). You can hear some traffic noise but nothing crazy. It was a great spot for us to spend a few days.

Enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it. The location is ideal. The unit is dated. The AC is a portable unit and it does get toasty. The washer/dryer is not in unit, it’s downstairs and coin op. It has a small cooktop but sufficient to make simple meals. Communication was good. There was a leak from the upstairs, we called and the property manager and plumber resolved it quickly. Equippedcwith beach gear, all you need to walk steps to the Magic Sands beach.

We had a great time at this cute condo! It was a beautiful view of the ocean, we saw dolphins both days we were there. The room was well stocked. Check in was easy and convenient. The only inconvenience was that there are few restaurants within walking distance, but Uber worked very well. Most Uber drivers shut down earlier though during the week (11 or 12) so if you're more of a night owl you will need a plan to get back. Overall, would love to stay here again!

Maybe I'm spoiled, but cheap silverware and inadequate lighting in the condo were a bit of a let down. It was impossible to get the condo cool enough for a proper sleep. For the price, all the above is easily corrected....
