The property worked out great for our family. There is a beach directly across the street, an onsite pool, and snorkeling just down the road. The facility was just the right distance away from the touristy shops in town that we didnât have to deal with all the crowds unless we wanted to that sort of stuff. We were doing Hawaii on a budget so it was great to have a place were we could cook our own meals and not eat out very often. The lanai/balcony was great with a view of the pool and ocean. It was nice having two bathrooms for the family. The property manager was responsive to our needs. This was a great location for day trips to the other side of the island and to Volcanoes National Park.
Clean suite but, older with signs of general wear and tear. Several pictures in the listing did not match current apartment. Listing included in suite laundry. The dryer did not work on arrival and although the lister apparently knew about this, they did not advise us of this issue. There were several nice to have items in the unit, like a small cooler, beach chairs and umbrellas. Overall, I would say we overpaid for this rental due to surge pricing for the Christmas season.
Great spacious place. Wishing we had spent more time here and less on Oahu. Great location right next to the popular beach and being able to come back to the pool at the end of the day was perfect. Condo was well outfitted for a family and obviously stocked by someone who thought things through. Only minor drawback was parking is a little tight for large vehicles (Crew cab truck). Just something to keep in mind when choosing your car rental.
Apartment was great, exactly as described. A little difficulty in checking in - needed to upload all covid test before getting access to property, which was a bit of a hassle after all the testing at airports and long trip.
The apartment was clean, nice, etc. The location is fabulous. However, I did not see anywhere in the description that it was modified for wheelchair accessibility, which means the bathroom vanities and dining table were at about knee height. My biggest complaint was that the "Owner fee" added at the very last put the condo price at over $200/day, which
was more than I thought it was worth.
We hate to say this, because we do not want the secret out. The condo was sparkling clean, resort was immaculate, location is ideal. We love White Sands Village.
Because of the Virus we had to cut our stay short, the management could not have been more helpful and understanding. We look forward to returning, once normalcy returns.
This property feels steps away from an amazing swimming sandy beach on the Big Island. You are also not far away from driving to downtown Kona for great restaurants. Only was 3 rows of toilet paper for 10 days was the only issue we found.
