About this property

Top Floor Oceanfront Studio #311 W/LANAI and A/C

PLEASE NOTE: CONSTRUCTION: Several Lanais being rebuilt on the end of the building, M-F 8:30-4:30, with noise to be expected.
COOL AC IS AVAILABLE when ocean breezes aren't enough.
Unit # 311 - We have one of the few units in the building with an ACTUAL outdoor patio to enjoy the beautiful ocean view, which is direct ocean front, with famous Magic Sands Beach right next door! And with our newly added COOL AC, you couldn't ask for
a better place to stay! Magics Beach Grill, the onsite restaurant, is open right downstairs! Enjoy a quick drink or stay for dinner and watch the sunset! The entire unit has been re-painted as of July 2020. We've also updated the bedding, carpet and artwork as well.
Other upgrades include a 55" big screen TV with Blu Ray player, Netflix and free WIFI access, stereo system, extra bedding and linens, and an added TV above the armoire in the Queen bedroom area. There is a large collection of DVD's and books to enjoy as well. The kitchen is fully stocked with small appliances including microwave, blender, coffeemaker, rice maker and coffee grinder along with glasses, pots, pans, silverware, and various seasonings and spices. The kitchen and bath have updated granite counters. The bathroom shower has a raised shower head for our taller guests.
We've also added plenty of extra amenities like extra large beach towels, snorkel gear, beach chairs, coolers, picnic blankets, boogie boards and beach umbrellas for your afternoons at the beach next door. We've provided fishing poles and binoculars for whale and fish watching from the lanai. There are two BBQ's on site by the oceanfront pool and a coin-op laundry room downstairs. Free assigned parking spot for one car is also included.
Please note that there is no elevator in the building and we are located on the top floor (third floor), but it's worth the steps for the fantastic views!
We are conveniently located within 2-3 miles of downtown Kailua-Kona and all it's inviting shops and restaurants.
THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED AND SET UP FOR TWO ADULTS.

Another great trip to the big island
This is the second time we have stayed in this unit, showing a little wear. Super comfortable bed, clean, everything we needed to make breakfast. The complex is getting pretty rundown, and the pool deck is so hot. You can’t even walk on it when you get out of the pool. That was kind of a bummer. Lots of construction going on also. Didn’t bother us , but if you like to sleep in, it could be a problem. Nice to have the restaurant downstairs. Great place for a homebase to travel around the island.

Everything we needed!
Entire process was super smooth with easy check in.Can't beat the view and first time for us ever finding the sound of the ocean actually too loud! We got used to it and now miss it! We didn't use the pool or local beach as we were away during most days sightseeing... did walk from condo into downtown kona twice. Able to rent blue bikes with a station directly across from condo. Magics grill on site was one of our favourites - very nice to have so handy after a long day.

Perfect location + well appointed condo
We loved our stay at Magic Sands. The location was perfect for our daily trips exploring the island. We loved the view from the lanai while sipping our morning coffee as well as our nightly mai tai and listening to the crashing waves. I highly recommend this property.

Host profile image
My husband Glenn, and I have been vacationing on the Hawaiian Islands for the last 30 years. With our children now grown and moving on, we decided to make one of our dreams come true by owning our own little piece of heaven in Kona. I love sharing our place with others who love it here as much as we do! And having return guests makes it even better!
We take great pride in having a clean, comfortable place to enjoy the Island.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the unique oceanfront location and it's quiet, laid back atmosphere and Aloha spirit. You just can't find a complex any closer to the ocean than this!

What makes this property unique

There is nothing better than true outdoor dining while watching the beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the lanai. Enjoy your morning coffee, and an evening tropical drink to begin and end your day in paradise!
