About this property

Ocean View Beach Condo, Top Floor at Magic Sands Beach

Picture yourself in paradise, a spacious elevator-accessible top floor 1 bedroom 2 bath condo with expansive living/dining area. Step out onto a double-wide tiled lanai with beautiful ocean & mountain views. We are in the most quiet & private building in the back of the White Sands Village complex, right across from Magic Sands Beach, the only white sand swimming beach in Kona. You are far from traffic noise and next to a natural preserve. Wake to the sounds of parrots and other wild birds.

Begin and end a day of frolicking in the ocean waves right across the street. Or take advantage of the newly renovated heated salt water swimming pool, spa, tennis courts, sauna, game room with pool table, and use one of the 4 gas BBQ grills. Or simply enjoy the colorful, beautifully manicured White Sands Village foliage and swaying palm trees.

At day's end, watch a spectacular sunset from your lanai as the sea breezes cool you off and warm your heart. Wonderful breezes sweep through the rooms most of the year with both front and rear screen doors for ventilation, a multitude of floor and ceiling fans available to contribute to the flow. We also have central air for those times when it is too hot or humid.


Our condo was originally a thousand square foot two bedroom apartment. It was converted to one bedroom in order to double the living room / dining room space. It will feel large compared to many other units.

You'll have no stairs to negotiate - your covered parking space is right by the elevator which lets you off right near your front door.

The condo has mango wood cabinets and hardwood floors in every room. Picture yourself in a well-organized kitchen complete with updated double-wide refrigerator, dishwasher, electric stove/oven and microwave, and toaster, blender, coffee maker and other appliances. The dining room table seats eight, next to a cabinet storing Palm Tree dishes and glassware, or, if you prefer, simple white stoneware is available in a kitchen cabinet.

The bedroom with a very comfortable queen bed. The two bathrooms give you a choice of a beautiful tiled shower with bench or a tub/shower combination with glass backsplash.

Comfortable recliners look out to the lanai which has its own dining table with four chairs. A queen size sofa bed completes a cozy combo facing the 48" Sony flatscreen TV for kicking back and enjoying cable entertainment nestled in with lots of art on the walls and lanai.

Plenty of towels, beach chairs, sand mats and ice chests are available for your enjoyment. A stacked washer/dryer awaits. There is lots of closet space filled with everything you might need including an iron!

To prepare for your on-island pursuits, a travel binder and brochures are at your fingertips as well as a charging station including two USB ports for all of your electronics.

Snorkeling among the hundreds of colorful exotic fish in the calm waters at Kahaluu Beach Park, only a mile south, is grand for both novices and the more experienced alike. Waves break just right at the north end of the park, making it a perfect location to learn how to surf under the guidance of local instructors.

Keauhou Shopping Center which hosts KTA Supermarket, Longs Drug, Regal Movie Theaters and many smaller shops and restaurants is only another mile south.

Kona Country Club's top notch golf courses are open to the public and are also only 2 miles away. Keauhou Bay, also in the same area is the launching point for many water based tours and activities on the Kona Coast. Downtown Kailua-Kona with its many attractions is only a little over three miles north. And you must visit Gypsea Gelato, which we believe has the best gelato outside of Europe, in the town of Kealakekua, a scenic 15 minute drive away.

One of the best things is how quiet it is. Most oceanfront accommodations along Alii Drive suffer from some traffic noise. We are far enough from the road so that we don't have any. And at White Sands Village, the lanais in the front two buildings face each other over the pool area. Our building is much more private. And, being on the top floor, we don't have to worry about hearing someone's footsteps over us!

You will need to sign a rental contract and agree to abide by the White Sands Village House Rules in order for your booking to be finalized. The rules are fairly standard - and are written with safety and consideration of all guests in mind.

Hawaii Law requires that we post our Transient Accommodations Tax ID and our Short Term Vacation Rental Permit Number. The Tax ID is TA-124-260-9664-01 and the permit number is STVR-19-377459.

Very relaxing stay
My husband and I spent 5 weeks at Bob and Jan's condo. We found it very relaxing and had a wonderful stay. The condo is spacious and was very clean. The view from the deck was beautiful. The pool was never crowded and it was nice being able to use the BBQ's at dinner time. We were on the quiet end of Ali'i drive and close to the Kona Country Club where we golfed a few times. It is also right across from Magic Sands beach, Grill and Bistro.

Don’t want to leave 🙂
We loved every minute here. Lots of space and great location. Everything you need and right across from white sand beach. At night it’s very quiet and just before darkness you have an unbelievable concert from the birds. We did a lot of exploring on the big island and really enjoyed all the sightseeing. Lots to do, lots to see, lots to enjoy. Thanks very much for letting us to stay at your condo.

Great location, comfortable
The condo was in a great location right across from Magic Sands beach. It was a short drive into Kailua or down to Captain Cook monument. The unit was spacious and comfortable, well-equipped including beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel equipment etc. The bed was comfortable and overall the unit was clean. The pool was nice although a bit on the small side. The parking spot right by the elevator was a plus. If you are looking for luxury this is not the place, some of the furniture and appliances are a bit dated. But it is comfortable and convenient.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Schlesinger

Host profile image
Bob is 71 and Jan is 75. Bob is a photographer and Jan is a mixed-media artist. We are both retired and just love Hawaii. The Big Island is our favorite. We have always been beach people - we particularly enjoy swimming and playing in the waves. Jan's father had a surfboard-making business in southern California so she grew up surfing. Kona reminds her of portions of the California coast as it was in the 1960s. We love our condo and are pleased to be able to share it with others. We are quiet, friendly and always have the best interests of others at heart. As a host, we want to make sure you have an absolutely delightful visit, since we feel that way every time WE stay there!

Why they chose this property

We truly believe this is the best place to be based on the whole island - that's why we bought here. Being able to walk out your door and stroll down to a sandy swimming beach, the only one of its kind in town, is pure joy. The central location and easy access to both swimming and snorkeling is a real plus. And yet we are only 3 miles from downtown Kona. White Sands Village has such great amenities - the recently renovated heated salt water pool and spa are excellent. The adjoining BBQ area can accommodate 4 families at once. The grounds are beautiful.

What makes this property unique

The hardwood floors, mango wood cabinetry, the extra large 200 square foot lanai with a tiled floor and it's own outdoor ceiling fan and simply wonderful view. A one bedroom apartment as large as two bedroom units gives us much more living area to enjoy. And the elevator right near our entry literally makes the access to 3rd floor living as easy as living on the ground floor. (Note that the elevator will not be operational from the beginning of April 2023 until likely late in May).
