Top Floor Oceanfront Studio #311 W/LANAI and A/C

We loved everything about the condo. It had all the supplies you needed. The view from the balcony just amazing. Listening to the waves was incredible and we saw whales and dolphins right from the balcony! Highly recommend this condo for your vacation.

Very nice but hot water breaker in electrical box keep tripping ever five minutes when using hot water in shower it needs fixed

We had a wonderful week staying at the property. The view and sound of the ocean were amazing! We also can’t say enough good things about the host communication. They will go above and beyond to ensure you have a great stay.

Here is the deal on Magic Sands property. You cannot beat the location if it’s your first time on the Big Island. Right on the ocean which is what you see once you are settled. That said it’s an older property and it’s got some funk. Our stay in 311 was very good in that the outdoor lanai, top floor made us happy to call it home for our week! The owners are super responsive and have been excellent in helping me retrieve a left item.

Everything was as listed.

Loved the view!

Absolutely beautiful beachfront! The location was perfect for us. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet, laid back vacation spot. I’m sad to leave it. The waves are quite loud which we enjoyed each evening. Mahalo.

Such a great place! We loved being so close the ocean and falling asleep to the waves. The condo was super clean and had everything we needed for our stay. No complaints, would definitely stay again!

Lanai was perfect for sunsets and relaxing. Studio had everything we needed. Nice bonus to have a restaurant on site.

Great room!!! Loved the patio, a hidden gem there! Also loved the fishing poles that are there, we didn’t get to use them but the option was nice!

Great rental. Super location. Lots of equipment for the beach. Everything is as presented and check in and out were easy.

Our stay was fabulous! The studio was spotless and beautifully decorated with everything we needed to prepare meals in the kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning coffee and sunset happy hour on the lanai, overlooking the ocean with the occasional glimpse of dolphins right in front of us. We look forward to returning!

Jan was very communicative and the condo was exactly as described. She had everything you could need for a week on the Big Island. We took advantage of the mini cooler on day trip, the snorkel gear, the beach towels & chairs next door, and spent every morning on the lanai with our coffee. She also had a fully stocked kitchen to cook anything, including seasonings. The waves were loud and the best sound to fall asleep to every night and wake up to every morning. Location was also great for anything in Kona, or getting around the island. Would absolutely stay here again! Mahalo for an amazing time in Hawaii!

My husband and I are so happy we chose this place. The view from the balcony was amazing. Place was well stocked we did not cook dinner in the kitchenette but enjoyed our coffee on the balcony each morning. Location was perfect we would love to stay here again! Thank you for renting your place to us.

Seriously, BOOK THIS!! You WILL NOT be sorry!!!! My husband and I spent 6 nights at this lovely rental and it was amazing. We saw dolphins our first morning! Enjoyed Kona coffee on the balcony every morning and sunsets in the evening. It is walking distance (across the parking lot) to Magic Sands (very popular beach) so if you feel like going to the beach, a short stroll and you’re there! The rental has EVERYTHING you need for a Hawaiian vacation (so go there first and check it out before you buy a bunch of stuff). Location was close to everything and wonderful. Very easy check out! We just loved our stay here!

Loved the proximity and the ease of check in!

Great views from room. Room had everything we needed to enjoy our days at the beach. Having Magic’s Grill downstairs was wonderful after a day of exploring. Jan is easy to work with. Building is worn down, needs some updating and clean up. Early mornings of construction and street traffic.

Overall the room is a bit dated, but it has what you would need (and rooms are undergoing renovation). There’s negatives and positives.Positives: GREAT location, right next to magic sands beach and magic sands grill. Just a 5 minute drive to downtown Kona. The amenities such as boogie boards and lounge chairs are much appreciated. It was fantastic being able to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean waves every night, even with the lanai closed. Negatives: The bathroom is very small to where the shower door hits the side of the toilet when opened. The kitchen appliances are old and the toaster smelled like burning rubber and did not work well. There’s a lot of stuff left over in the cabinets that are expired, such as spices and cooking spray. The amount of TV remotes is crazy (at least 5 or 6) and the directions on how to work it are not clear.

Very clean condo with incredible views next to one of the only white sand beaches around! We could not have been happier!

You can watch the fish and turtles surfing the waves from the balcony. And the sunsets are spectacular!

This is the second time we have stayed in this unit, showing a little wear. Super comfortable bed, clean, everything we needed to make breakfast. The complex is getting pretty rundown, and the pool deck is so hot. You can’t even walk on it when you get out of the pool. That was kind of a bummer. Lots of construction going on also. Didn’t bother us , but if you like to sleep in, it could be a problem. Nice to have the restaurant downstairs. Great place for a homebase to travel around the island.

Entire process was super smooth with easy check in.Can't beat the view and first time for us ever finding the sound of the ocean actually too loud! We got used to it and now miss it! We didn't use the pool or local beach as we were away during most days sightseeing... did walk from condo into downtown kona twice. Able to rent blue bikes with a station directly across from condo. Magics grill on site was one of our favourites - very nice to have so handy after a long day.

We loved our stay at Magic Sands. The location was perfect for our daily trips exploring the island. We loved the view from the lanai while sipping our morning coffee as well as our nightly mai tai and listening to the crashing waves. I highly recommend this property.

It was exactly as pictured, and so dreamy!! My *only* suggestion would be to replace / clean the curtains, but otherwise we loved every second of our stay!!

First time to the Big Island. Property was great. Views from the lanai were breath taking. Location was convenient to the things we wanted to do.
