Fodor's Expert Review Kona Magic Sands
77-6452 Alii Dr., Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, 96740, USA
Cradled between a lovely grass park and Magic Sands Beach Park, this older condo complex is great for swimmers, surfers, and sunbathers. The studios vary because they're individually owned, but all are spacious and light, with oceanfront views right above the surf. Most units have lanai. The new Magics Beach Grill is a fantastic, popular on-site eatery.
PROS
- lanai in most units
- affordable studios
- oceanfront view from all units
CONS
- studios only
- some units are dated
- popular complex, but booked through a third-party site
