About this property

ATOMIC TIKI – live like a local at Magic Sands Beach!

Vintage Hawaiian Oceanfront Paradise

Pop back in time and relax in 60's mod style in this quaint vintage apartment hotel, capturing a front row center view of Magic Sands Beach since 1963.

Roll out of the soft and cozy queen size bed and step right across the street to take a dip in the turquoise blue ocean. This beach is ever changing, as Namaka (Hawaiian goddess of the sea), works her magic on the soft white sand, taking it away and then putting it back, earning its name for the magically disappearing sands. Popular for boogie boarding and snorkeling, you can see bright schools of yellow tangs and black batfish right from the shore. Visitors and locals all love to gather at this beach to watch the spectacular sunsets!

When it’s time to grab a bite, across the street is a walk up grill where you can get a cup of fresh roasted Kona coffee and breakfast in the morning, or lunch in the afternoon. They make incredible acai bowls with fresh local fruit! You can grab a beer or cocktail to go here and enjoy it on the beach. Also across the street is Magics Beach Grill, offering oceanside dining lit by tiki torches with spectacular reef fish viewing and glowing sunsets! Downtown Kona is just 4 miles away with a variety of restaurants to choose from. Don’t feel like driving? The Kona trolley stops right here and will take you downtown or to the nearest shopping center where you can pick up some food if you feel like making a laid back meal at home in your fully stocked kitchenette. Enjoy dining in at a handcrafted mango bar top table, with a stellar view of the ocean.

Kona White Sands has the honor of being one of very few hotels in Kona with a beach right out front. Whether you plan to relax in a hammock on the beach or experience the many adventures this island has to offer, you will feel at home in this unique vintage Hawaiian apartment hotel.

Kona White Sands A3 – Amazing, Adventure, Aloha!

Please note:

-This unit is across from Magic Sands Beach and directly on Ali’i Drive, and you can hear the fun being had at all times of the day.

Sometimes in novels or TV shows, the place itself is a character. The atomic tiki was a beloved part of my first tri to Hawaii, listening to the ocean from bed, wandering across the street to have coffee in the morning and swimming, it was perfect. The hosts thought of everything, there was a cooler to take the beach and ice packs in the fridge, a book on local fish. Everything we needed was there. Huge thanks for a great stay.

We had a wonderful four night stay at Atomic Tiki! The listing is totally accurate. Absolutely loved the location and decor. Super clean and comfortable. Great dedicated off street parking for the rental car and we also used the free bus that runs the length of Ali’i Drive. Highly recommend Atomic Tiki and would love to stay again!

Very cute Studio… GroundLevel, Directly Across from Magic Sands! Well appointed, kitschy Decor! No AC, but was comfortable enough for our short stay. It is located on Alii Drive, which is very busy, so there is road noise… again, it did not bother us… but if you are a light sleeper, it is a bit noisy. But Super Easy Access to ALL of the Best of Kona!

We sent our daughter and husband here on their honeymoon and they reported having a good experience! In particular they noted that there was beach gear including a boogie board and snorkels, and the beach was right across the street! They did note the absence of air conditioning but said that the fans kept them from being uncomfortable. Overall, they said it was great, and perfect for two people!

Loved this condo! We had fun listening to the records while relaxing in the evenings. The rental is stocked with everything you need for the beach. The tiki decor is very thoughtfully selected and so much fun. It’s exactly as pictured and very clean and comfortable.Though there is no A/C, we had a nice breeze through the unit. We would happily stay here again in the future.
