When booking this unit I wondered a little bit about the lack of a balcony. As it turns out, this corner unit with floor to ceiling glass and large sliding double doors on two sides create a wonderfully open space with great views and soothing breezes. It was almost like staying right on a balcony. The active surf below provides all the ocean din anyone could want. We found the unit clean, well appointed, and well stocked - at least for our needs. If our journeys ever bring us back to the Big Island I would definitely book this unit again.

Awesome Stay on the Ocean
The property is super. If you like beautiful sunsets, oceanfront location, good amenities, fish and turtles swimming by, whales on the horizon, a comfy bed, attentive property managers then you’ll love this property. 5 stars all the way! We can’t wait to return.

Right on the Ocean
We had a nice stay at the Magic Sands. The property is right on the water. You could hear the crashing waves the entire time. Ted was very communicative and helpful, as was the property manager. At check in, the place had not been cleaned but the property manager sent someone over as soon as possible that night to get clean linens in. The following day another person came to properly clean. Once all this was settled we really enjoyed the location right on Ali'i Dr. It was nice to have beach chairs and boogie boards to use during our stay. We would stay again.

40th Anniversary
This was the first half of a two week getaway with my wife. This was our first vacation rental and it was nearly perfect. Some things that weren’t perfect but I don’t feel it should affect the 5 star is that there is construction on the property and the pool wasn’t available for the first couple days due to a high tide that flooded the pool (tells you how close we were). That said, the condo was clean, well furnished and the desire to be close to the ocean was achieved! Wonderful place to just enjoy the waves from a comfortable chair. I would strongly recommend this condo. It was easy to check in and check out!! Look forward to returning perhaps later this year.

Great Location
We enjoyed watching the sunset, numerous whales and dolphins swim past everyday. This location is a little out of town and right on the beach, easy access to wherever you want to go for the day. Unfortunately, there was construction going on both below this unit and next to the pool. The condo could use some TLC and more comfortable furniture.

Kona Revisited
Overall, our trip was relaxing. The facility was constructed in 1966. The disappointing aspect of our stay was the ongoing renovation of the property, and no mention of it taking place. Construction had the parking lot divided, and the sound of jackhammers and other concrete machinery reverberating through the cinderblock and concrete building was very annoying. We could not enter the pool from the front entry and had to walk around to a side gate. A main reason we selected the property was BECAUSE of the pool area pictures. The scaffolding was directly into the pool area, and the pool lounge chairs were pushed to the edge of the pavement. We did not use the pool or BBQ the area was congested or otherwise cordoned off. We would love to return to the unit and recommend it WHEN the construction is completed.

Wow what a spot
Location, location, location.
I doubt there is a better view from anywhere else on the Kona coast. Directly down from our third floor corner room we watched fish swimming in The waves every morning. White sands beach is steps away and the host provided everything we needed for swimming, snorkeling and lounging on the beach. The place is a little old and shows its age, but I wouldn’t let that deter me a moment from coming back. Absolutely fantastic!!

TERRIBLE ANT INFESTATION, FRAUDULENT HOST
We alerted host Ted about the ant infestation (had video and pics of roughly a thousand of them in the bathroom, kitchen, and on the sofa). A dozen ants on top of the bed we killed but several had gotten under the topsheet which was disgusting. Tried not to let it ruin my husband's 80th birthday but it was terrible.
We kept killing them down but the 3rd day was the worst and we both lost sleep. Ted asked us to track down the nice onsite mgr (on OUR vacation!) but she didn't have traps. On last day he had traps brought in and a lamp to plug in on counter (microwave over cooktop not working so it was totally dark when trying to cook after dusk).
To make matters worse he fraudulently retained $100 in taxes for nights we prepaid and cancelled within the proper time frame. We were going to let it go but not after he gave NO apology, no adjustment, and what we went through - plus worrying the ants were going to come home in our luggage.
Also, the listing shows it sleeps 5 but sleeps 4 max.. It only has one queen bed and one pullout queen sleeper.
VRBO opened a case but Ted not responding to them either so we'll have to have VISA deal with him. Would not recommend this rental!

Magic Sands stay
Nice location. Studio unit. There is a popular beach next door (although watch your time of year since the sand "disappears" exposing rock). We enjoyed the restaurant/bar attached to property. Some construction noise during our stay, but it wasn't too bad since it was at the other end of the building. Pool is very comfortable temperature. View from unit is directly to the ocean and very nice!

A dream vacation waking up by the ocean
Wonderful holiday thanks to this amazing apartment right on the ocean. The apartment is exactly as described and the host provides everything you need for a vacation by the sea.(Thanks so much Ted!!!) The location is perfect, so close to the beach, and to Kona, which is great! you can buy groceries at the supermarkets, enjoy the restaurants and shops, and walk around downtown. It is very convenient if you book tours because most of them have a stop nearby the Kona area. We totally recommend it and we will be back.
Thanks for all Ted, we have had a wonderful vacation! Greetings Marian and family

The most beautiful beach, the sound of the waves 24/7, the fantastic, and always delicious Magic's Grill, and the best beach shack in the world!! Location is key. And service second to none. So perfect in every way! Mahalo Ted!

Short stay in May
This place is very spacious (being on the corner). It had everything we needed to visit the beach. Cooler, chairs, towels, etc. We only stayed a few nights, but the reserved parking space was very nice and the beach next door was perfect for afternoons. A major grocery store is just mins away via car. Lots of windows let you watch the ocean, and fish activity.

I am true Islanders from growing up in Victoria B.C.on Vancouver Island . I love the ocean, I haD a water front home in Nanaimo and a condo on the beach .I am from west coast marine climate, I love the fact that Kona only gets 8 to 10 inches of rain annually. If I get home sick we can always go to the hills behind Hilo.I also like the average temperatures 81 to 87 unlike the desert extremes 67 January to 107 July. Love the trade winds and walks along Alii drive. I look forward to being your HOST Mahalo Ted &
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
The unit 314 has been tastefully updated with antique furniture. It's 3 miles South of the main Kona strip which I regard as a good thing. But it is still on Alii Drive for nice morning or evening peaceful walks. Yet you are only minutes away from town.It has a great location right next to the ocean. You couldn't be closer without being in it. The view on this total glass corner unit really makes it and allows for fabulous sunset views. This unit has a large WOW factor.
この宿泊施設の特徴
The size of the condo. Most of the condos at Kona Magic Sands are 400 sq ft ours is 660 sq ft. The Lani's is enclosed, so you can sit at your table with the glass doors open and see and hear the waves. You also wake up in the morning and sit up in bed and see the ocean. It's amazing.Dophins and Whales are often seen right out in the ocean from your unit. It's right on Magic Sands Beach, which is a great beach. There aren't a ton of swimming beaches right in Kona and this one is one of the best. Some of the best boogie boarding and snorkeling on the Island. 314 is on the 3rd floor with extra great views and no street noise. It is air conditioned ,has a spa tub and numbered parking. Separate Wifi with network cable ports,road runner Time Warner Cable
