We stay in a lot of VRBOs, and this is in the top 10% of them for sure. Clean, well appointed, terrific hosts, and beach gear! They have boogie boards and snorkeling gear, both is of which I used and enjoyed. The place was quiet and serene, with an awesome deck to enjoy breakfast or a glass of wine on.

The condo was well equipped with a washer and dryer, a nice lanai, necessary beach supplies; chairs, cooler, towels, etc. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and pickleball courts at the facility. We enjoyed a great snorkel beach apx. 1 1/2 miles south. Enjoyed an ATV ride with aloha adventures close by. We also enjoyed shaka tacos a little to the north in a nice shopping area. The owners were very pleasant and responsive.

We stayed four nights in this condo, and it was a fantastic experience. The property has safe parking space, quiet garden, a spacious balcony, and beautiful views of both the ocean and the mountains.It is conveniently located near several excellent snorkeling beaches, which made it perfect for our trip. Every morning, we woke up to the sound of birds chirping and enjoyed watching the calm ocean—it was incredibly peaceful.The manager is so friendly and helpful! We felt very comfortable throughout our stay.

This unit at White Sands Village is the nicest we have stayed in on this property. It is well maintained, everything works, towels and linens are fresh. We love the keyless entry door, so much easier than a lock box. Thanks to our hosts Dawneeta and Blair, always responded to questions quickly. Mahalo!

The condo was excellent for our family of 4. The pool was a great addition, a short walk away. Excellent place to meet our extended family members staying in other suites of the condo. The 3 bbq grills were available for cooking meals together while the kids swam. The condo had many options for snorkels, umbrellas, beach towels and boogie boards available.
