My wife and stayed for a week in unit 311 and really enjoyed it. Think of it as studio apartment directly above the surf with a killer sunset view. The unit was well furnished. From the lanai we watched surfers and boarders, saw fish and turtles in the waves (the water is that clear), and enjoyed glorious sunsets. The unit... More

This is our second stay at Kona Magic Sands and we love the complex. The unit (#208) we stayed in the last time was a disappointment. This time we stayed in Unit 310 and loved it! When we arrived there were fresh flowers and I loved the way the unit was decorated. The murphy bed was comfortable and we left... More

Stayed there for a long weekend in April 2013. Perfect location on the ocean. Stay on 3rd floor at the south end. Good snorkeling and boogie boarding beach next door. About a mile from grocery shopping. Great condo

The negatives first - Can you say small? Secondly, the unit is best suited for a couple or a family of very small statue. The unit, while decorated very nicely is very small. Two adults have difficulty walking past each other in the space where you can. Everyone of us got popped by the ceiling fan (would suggest flush mount).... More

We just returned from several nights in Unit 108 at Magic Sands. Our condo had been recently redone and was small, but very nice and clean. It is centrally located near kona downtown, shopping and restaurants. The condo had everything we needed and was very economical, allowing us to do some more expensive tours. Room was very quiet at night,... More

We stayed at the Kona Magic Sands #311 8 nights for our Anniversary. This unit is very comfortable with beautiful views of the Ocean. You can see the Yellow Tang and many other fish from the lanai. This is a very quiet complex, the only thing you hear is the waves crashng in front which can be very loud at... More

This is our second stay in Kona Magic Sands. Unit #307 have been recently redecorated and it feels clean. All the units in this block have a rather small kitchen area. The location is just perfect: a great beach a few steps outside and renovated facilities (BBQ, pool, and reserved car park). Units belong to private owners, so the quality... More

We spent our honeymoon at Magic Sands, Unit 303 last month. We were there for 8 days and wished we could have stayed longer!! Where to start? The view from the lanai was awesome, sitting out there for coffees in the morning and wine for sunsets and we were able to get some beautiful sunset shots. You can just sit... More

You have to be very careful which unit you rent. These are individually owned and some of the units are less desireable than others. I reccomend 201 or 203. These two units are completely updated to the highest standards and are wonderful to stay in. Another member of our party rented 204 and it was a huge disappointment. 204 had... More

Unit 303 at KMS is exactly as shown in the photos, plus more when you factor in the amazing sound of the ocean right below you, and the sweet Hawaiian breeze gently blowing through the condo 24/7. The owners are hospitable in every way, answering questions and providing all the extras you could want, from high-end linens and appliances, to... More
