Kona Magic Sands

We stayed in a corner unit with great view. Quiet, clean and very well equipped. The unit had a bedroom with a queen bed and a hide-a-bed. Second room was a kitchen living area. Very well laid out. Beach fantastic. Would definitely recommend staying on the third floor. No street noise.

We just stayed 4 nights at the magic sands in Kona. All the units in this building appear to be studios with a small kitchenette, 1 bathroom and a living area with room for a bed and futon or foldout couch. After having a large 2br condo in maui, this initially seemed tight for our family of 4, but it was really plenty of space for us and our two kids (13 and 10). There are some HUGE plusses to this complex: Its right on magic sands beach which was a great beach. There aren't a ton of swimming beaches right in Kona and this one is one of the best. We had the best boogie boarding of our entire two week trip (oahu, maui, big island) right on magic sands beach. The beach does get a little crowded as it is small, but theres a reason for that. You are right on the ocean - you can't be much closer without being in it. We didn't see them, but dophins and whales are often seen right out in the ocean by the complex. As we read the guest book, I think we were the only ones who didnt see dolphins. Whales are a winter thing of course. Sunsets - GORGEOUS - the best we had on our entire trip. If we return to Kona we would very likely stay here again. By the way if you are heading to Kona, try Kona Mix Plate for lunch. Best meals we had in two weeks in the islands.

This was our first time on the Big Island and we had a phenomenal vacation. We stayed for two weeks and I think we still only touched the surface of what there is to see adn do. We are already planning a return trip! I was so glad we found Magic Sands. It was a wonderful experience. The locaitno is beautiful with the White Sands Beach on one side and the beach park on the other. It is a small building with only about 35 units and its quiet except for the sounds of the surf. The beach views are spectacular.

Today is my last day in Hawaii and I just had to come say that if you are intersted in staying ath the Magic Sands it is the best ever! It has been remodeled and it is comvfortable and luxurious. You will truly enjoy yourself.

We were on the third floor where we had a great view of the ocean. The room was nice but nothing special. The pool was small but still nice. We were there in July and it was not very busy. There was a nice beach next door. Overall this was a nice place to stay.
