Dec 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Solid experience with small bumps Two adults stayed for 3 nights during Christmas. Enjoyed the location, the overall quietness of the neighbors, the thoughtful amenities provided, & the host’s flexibility when we expressed concern about having a bug guy come before our checkout time (she kindly rescheduled that). The bumps were the bug guy thing and not having the bike lock combo for most of our stay, so only being able to use the bikes to ride, not when we wanted to go somewhere and be there for a while. We used the kitchen, the guidebooks, the snorkel gear and beach stuff; we never used the AC or the tv - and we were grateful for the curtain covering the tv up! Overall a fun time and a recommended host and property! ##### keemahtron i. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### carole b.

Sep 15, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We left after the first night of a four night stay. Susan is very dishonest how her listing claims there is Air Condition. I messaged her right away that the AC unit was not working. Turns out it does work but she controls when you can run it. She did not respond to my inquiry about the AC until 12 hours later (the next morning). The condo is on the ground floor. Susan’s advice was to sleep with the sliding glass doors open. Additionally while the few pictures she posts make it look nice. It is extremely dated (the whole property is dated). Because it is VRBO there is no way to check out early. We were supposed to stay for four nights but chose to leave after the first night and go stay at a hotel. I can’t stress enough to avoid this one. You’ll see others if you scroll down the review list that had similar issues. ##### Bryan M. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynda L.

Apr 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location and Wonderful Host The location was excellent right by Magic Sands (keep in mind that during certain times of the year there is no beach at Magics - usually winter and early spring) but we loved easy access to the beach, boogie boarding, snorkeling, the pool, restaurant and coffee shack! The room would be on the small side for more than two people. It was great having all the beach/snorkel gear we needed. The host was very kind and responsive! ##### Ashley W.

Mar 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect spot to enjoy Hawai'i My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Kona Magic Sands. The beach was steps away from our unit, with beautiful soft sand and awesome boogie boarding waves as well as great snorkeling. The pool and courtyard was an awesome place to sit and enjoy the sun and have a nice swim if the beach was too busy or the waves got too big. The room was not too big and not too small and had lots of toys for the guests to use. Thanks to Susan for the helpful travel tips and the hassle free check-in and check-out.

Jun 28, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, but ants Any garden level in Hawaii will have issues with bugs and this was no exception. Great location and accurate listing, only the kitchen could use a good scour and some ant prevention. We were not able to fully utilize the kitchen because tiny ants got to our cereal as soon as we opened it. We had to clean out other people's open food that was left behind and attracting ants. There was a moldy pineapple in the fridge. Manager should have tenants dump their food before the next stay. We had to eat out because we couldn't keep anything outside the fridge and had to clean the kitchen of ants. Otherwise, beautiful location steps from the beach, great salt water pool! ##### Michelle B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### DENNIS R. Mar 13, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Inaccurate Listing Representation Stayed Feb. 4-14- 2024\. Many discrepancies in listing photos vs what we found upon arrival IE: Dining room table & chairs vs 3" square arborite covered table with 4 box type stools to sit on like in a kindergarten classroom very tacky & not comfortable!!!.Other things not as shown- paint colors, sofa,coffee table, wall decorations, spray painted fridge, blue on bottom & black on top!!! Mouse droppings on top of fridge & in cutlery drawer, had to wash it all before use, cutlery was old and showing signs of rust. Contacted owner after return with no reply. Condo definitely requires a complete makeover as does the property itself. ##### DENNIS R. Stayed 10 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne G. Feb 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sleeping to Ocean Waves Cozy studio (about the size of a hotel room) with a kitchenette, in an older building right next to the water with a neat waterfront/beachfront restaurant attached. We loved falling asleep with the patio door open and hearing the ocean all night. We saw dolphins and humpbacks off the shore during the day. The pool was too cold for us to swim during our trip, but there were lots of residents and guests enjoying the pool area. Super convenient to be next to Magic Sands beach with some sandy seating areas and rocky shoreline. It was very fun watching people body surf and snorkel. It’s very popular and there was a ton of people on the beach and at the restaurants every day. We spent a lot of time going downtown and sightseeing. It was great to having parking spot, but we quickly learned driving downtown was slow going - was better to Uber and avoid the parking mess. A trip downtown was about $10-15 each way. Shopping/grocery was about 20-25 minutes away, so suggest buying basic supplies (K-Cups, creamer, food, bottled water, etc.) on your way in. Host was communicative and made sure we had all access info and checkout list for the unit. ##### Anne G. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Devyn W. Feb 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### My family really loved this condo My husband, my 2 kids (ages 4 and 2) and I really loved this condo. We didn’t get to the condo until after 10pm and even in the dark we had an easy time finding it and getting into our unit. We really liked the decor, it felt homey and had a cute Hawaiian bungalow vibe. The condo had everything we needed. Space for all 4 of us to sleep and lots of kitchen essentials that made cooking meals easy. Though it’s small, we had plenty of space for our family. There is a full dining table and living room area. We loved the giant windows and doors facing the ocean, we watched the sunset and took naps listening to the ocean every day. We were so grateful for all of the extras in the unit. There was snorkeling equipment, bikes, floaties, boogie boards, chairs and coolers which made our beach trips so much fun. We also really enjoyed the pool just a few steps away. The building has a grill and a snack shack connected that serves coffee. It made this unit even more convenient. The pool area is fenced in with a lawn that was great for our kids to play in. It truly is magical with the ocean right outside your door, a beautiful beach steps away with amazing waves and a sunset view right out your back door. Mahalo Susan! 🌺🌞 We will definitely recommend this unit to our family and friends. ##### Devyn W. Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lindsey M. Nov 1, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stay far away!! Horrible, dirty, terrible and rude host! If you are looking for a disgusting uninhabitable condo with a dishonest and unresponsive host then this is your place! We showed up at 6 pm and realized the toilet would not flush. A mechanism inside the tank was disconnected and the toilet did not function. Not to mention the fact that pictures do not at all match the state of the property. It is dirty, roach infested, rundown, and flat out disgusting. The AC advertised in the property description would not work either, so the condo is hot and stuffy. I went to school at the U of Hawaii and have also visited every single island but one, so I realize that roaches can be an issue, but I have never seen anything to this degree. We contacted the host with no response for 13 hours. So had to get a last-minute hotel for $500\. When she did finally respond, she said she would have someone go fix the toilet. We went over the next day, flushed the toilet twice, and then it would no longer function again. She also informed us that the AC is only for sleeping hours (beginning at 9 pm), but we tried the unit at 10:30 PM and it would still do nothing. After that, the host was extremely rude and dismissive and told us to contact VRBO. After hours on the phone and multiple phone calls we finally decided to check into a hotel for the remainder of our stay totaling an additional $2000\. The icing on the cake is that 6 days later, well after our checkout, someone went to fix the toilet and she charged me for the repairs! Zero stars!!! ##### Lindsey M. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stephanie R. Mar 29, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rodent and Inaccurate Post When we arrived on a Tuesday afternoon in March, the first thing we noticed was rodent droppings on the kitchen counters and floor throughout the condo. Over the next hour, we found more droppings in the shower and on the toilet seat. We then discovered the rodent, a RAT, in the toilet, still alive! Within minutes we reached out to the owner about the rat in the toilet and did not receive an immediate response. We contacted the building manager and she also tried to contact the owner with no response. The condo was completely uninhabitable and we quickly had to make other lodging arrangements. The owner did not respond to the situation for 13 hours! At that point we were not going back. We are still in the process of trying to secure a refund and filed a claim with VRBO documenting our experience with pictures and complete transparency of the communication between us and the owner. If you can look past the rodent, be prepared the condo is not accurately represented in the posting. The furniture, décor, and kitchen are not as well kept as the pictures show. The bed linens were torn, with the bed skirt barely hanging on at the corners. The condo and furniture need repair and updating. The owner will respond that we have been difficult, evasive, and uncooperative. In fact, we have been clear, direct, and never personally attacking her character as she did with us. ##### Stephanie R.
