About this property

Boutique Luxury Ocean Front Paradise with AC steps from Magic Sands Beach

The first thing you will notice when you enter the condo is the view of the ocean that fills the entire glass slider making you feel like you are on a ship out at sea. One guest said they dropped to their knees and wept because of the overwhelming view of the ocean.

This unit is located on the second floor without an elevator. The second floor is the best compromise as it is one less flight of stairs and has an unobstructed view of the ocean. First floor units have an obstructed view do to the seawall. Another plus is that this unit is air conditioned as there are still many units without AC in this resort.

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 yoga, BBQing and picnicking. 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, steps from our unit, 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 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, active volcano hikes, star gazing from the worlds largest and most scientifically active observatory in the world, 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 is EXTREMELY luxurious now. We (meaning me) just did a $105,000 remodel by myself. Entering the unit, you are immediately met with a fully functioning 20 inch stainless stove with glass top, all new shaker cabinets with matte black hardware, under mount sink with push button disposal, new 18-inch stainless dishwasher, quartz counter tops with a two stool bar on the end, new 28 gal short water heater, new stainless microwave, full sized stainless refrigerator, cleaning supply closet, coffee nook, wall mount movable 54-inch TV with cabinets housing internet and router equipment, armoire for hanging clothes, dining table with bar stool seating and hula lamp, queen sized sofa sleeper couch for additional guests including portable privacy wall, king sized bed with two door under dresser, matching night stands with matching palm tree lamps, barn door access to bathroom, vanity with back lit mirror, large format tile, glass enclosed shower with mosaic flooring and 20 inch mosaic niche, hooks for swimsuits, shelving for extra towels, laundry basket, full length mirror, a place to put full sized luggage under the bottom shelf for maximizing living space and all new luxury plank flooring. In addition, there is a beach closet in the bathroom, which houses two boogie boards, two beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a regular umbrella for rainy days, two life vests, two sets of snorkel gear, a cooler bag and some beach toys.

The kitchen is full service with everything you should need; dishware, pots and pans, toaster, blender, coffee grinder, coffee press, water heating pot for tea, silverware, utensils, knives, etc. The trash is located in the far left cabinet drawer of the kitchen.

The laundry facility is located ground level on the North side of the building on the Pahoehoe side. The key in the unit will allow you to access the machines that can be operated with coins or better via an app. This key also provides access to the pool and outdoor shower in a bamboo fence located at the entrance off Alii Dr.

You will lay in your bed and fall asleep to the smell of the ocean breeze and the meditative sounds of the ocean waves.

Hopefully you are outside playing as much as possible, but we do have wifi and cable for viewing on a 54-inch tv.

We hope you love your stay as much as we do and have experiences you will remember for a life time.

Loved it!

We absolutely loved our stay in Kona, Hawaii! The condo was perfect—it had everything we needed and more. We especially appreciated all the beach gear stocked in the closet, which made our daily snorkeling adventures so easy and fun. The views from the condo were stunning and added so much to our experience.One of our favorite spots to snorkel was Kahalu’u Beach Park—just a short drive away and full of marine life. The location of the condo was also ideal, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and beaches. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommended! Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful Kona stay

Having the ocean out the window was awesome, loud but perfect for us. Got to see whales breaching out our window soon after we arrived. Bonus!! Clean, well equipped and very safe. I am Kama’aina, had a friend visiting, great introduction to Kona side. Looking forward to coming back again soon.Great restaurant on site also.

Great location in Kona

The location is great- near beach, shops, and restaurants. The beaches within walking distance have tide pools and a mix of sandy/rocky terrain. The beds are nice, and my kids didn't complain about the fold out bed. Stove/oven is quite small.

About the host

Hosted by Bryan Walz

Host profile image
Jing Pineau and I are partners in life and partners in real estate. We live in Colorado and love the outdoors. In Colorado, we camp, backpack, rock climb, fish, mountain bike, road bike, yoga, hike and go to the gym. We have been to the other islands, but the big island has all they offer and more. It is so relaxing to visit that it is hard for us to leave.

Why they chose this property

This property is located in such a great spot. There is a park on the North side of building, the ocean on the West side of building, Alii Dr. on the East side of building and Magic Sands Beach on the South end of the building. Magic Sands it the only white sand beach in Kailua-Kona. Alii Dr. is the street that the final leg of the Ironman World Championship marathon portion is run. You will have the perfect view from the 2nd story balcony. You can walk to everywhere or take the Kona trolley or app payable bikes, which are located in the parking lot directly across the street. Only need for a car is to visit other parts of the island. Also, we have the highest rated restaurant in our building. The sunset views can't be topped. People from all over Kona come to our beach to watch the sunset.

What makes this property unique

This unit is located on the second floor with an unobstructed view of the ocean. First floor views are obstructed by the seawall. Third floor just adds unnecessary extra stairs. Our unit has AC. Many units in the building still don't have AC. Also, our unit is the newest remodeled unit. A $105,000 very luxuriously remodeled unit.

The condo is complete with all the cookware, dishes, utensils, etc., stove/oven, microwave, coffee pot, and has kids beach toys, beach shoes, snorkeling gear, beach chairs and umbrellas, drink coolers, beach pads and beach towels.
