About this property

Kona Magic Sands Condo

Studio located directly across the street from Magic Sands beach with renovated kitchen and bathroom. The bedroom is separated from the living/dining area by a wall with an arched opening. You will notice the small touches honoring the sea turtle throughout the unit which is why we call it Hale Honu or House of the Turtle. (THIS IS A NON-SMOKING UNIT IN A NON-SMOKING PROPERTY)

******NOT AIR CONDITIONED*******IF YOU THINK YOU NEED AIR CONDITIONING YOU SHOULD NOT BOOK OUR PLACE. *****SOFA IS NOT HIDE A BED. ONLY SLEEPING IS ONE QUEEN BED****

Your parking spot is conveniently a few steps from the front door. The complex is a small quaint 10 unit complex and is located directly across the street from Magic Sands Beach (Also known as Disappearing Sands Beach). This is a great swimming beach when it is calm. When there are waves it is only good for experienced swimmers. Early morning is best time to swim and see turtles at this beach. The complex also has a washer/dryer which accept smart phone payment through a convenient app with instructions in laundry area. Washer and Dryer are $2 per load.

The kitchen was recently remodeled and has brand new custom made Khaya (African Mahogany) cabinets. The bathroom was also remodeled with a nice size walk in shower with a shower head or body sprays.

There is periods between usually November and March in which the beach may have less sand than normal due to large swells that take the sand from the beach. Once the ocean clams down the sand gets redeposited on the beach over the course of a week or so. There is no way to predict what the status of the beach sand will be. When swimming at this beach or any beach in Hawaii you should listen to the lifeguards. When there is little or no sand the beach is much more dangerous.

There is a large front lawn off the lanai and you can watch the sunset from the lanai. You can see the water from the Lanai but cannot see the beach as we have Hibiscus hedges to provide privacy as the beach can get busy and the hedges provide privacy from people walking and driving by.

The unit accommodates a MAXIMUM OF 2 GUESTS ONLY. THERE IS ONE QUEEN BED ONLY AND SOFA IS NOT A SLEEPER. THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONING There are two ceiling fans. This is a licensed Short-Term Vacation rental STVR-19-360605.

Clean, well-equipped, close to the beach
Excellent property right next to the beach. The beach is right across the road. Safeway/farmers market/Kailua downtown are all within a 10-minute drive. Property is well-equipped, with a toaster oven, coffeemaker, all sorts of cooking utensils and lots of beach gear. There's a hose outside so you can rinse your feet off the sand before going in. It does get hot in the middle of the day, as there's no AC, but you have multiple fans at your disposal to help cool down. We were mostly on sightseeing trips during the day so it wasn't a big deal. In the evening you can open the windows and let the breeze cool everything down. Also note that the beach location has some negatives to it as well. Close to sunset you'll have people that park across the road and blast loud music from their cars. It's not too annoying when doors are closed, and they leave soon after it gets dark. Birds also get very loud at nearby trees in the morning (4-5am) so if you're a light sleeper you should bring some earplugs. Additionally, Robert sent us a wonderful guide book about Big Island. Called "Hawaii Big Island Revealed" it showed us some points of interest which we added to our day trips, which allowed us to see some hidden gems of the island. Overall we were very happy with the stay on the Big Island.

cooking ware
Everything was fine except the cooking ware, frying pans need to be replaced with new. We had to eat out more than we expected to.

This place is a 1 minute walk to the beach, we loved hanging out there whenever we could. The place has everything you need for the beach (towels, boogie board, floaties, chairs, umbrella, cooler). Great view of the sunset from the lanai. The kitchen is great for cooking, we will definitely be coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Robert Chakarian

Host profile image
We live in San Diego and love going to Kona every chance we get. There is always something new to explore. We only recently began vacation renting our condo as it was previously a long term rental. So we renovated the bathroom and kitchen areas and hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

I love the Ocean so I love the location of our condo and I hope you will enjoy it also. It is nice to be able to just walk across the street and go for a swim, play some volleyball on the beach or just sit in a beach chair and have a drink. Once daylight surrenders to evening there is a great sunset to enjoy along with the sounds of the beach.
