About this apartment rental
Vintage Hawaiian Oceanfront Paradise
Pop back in time and relax in 60's mod style in this quaint vintage apartment hotel, capturing a front row center view of Magic Sands Beach since 1963.
Roll out of the soft and cozy queen size bed and step right across the street to take a dip in the turquoise blue ocean. This beach is ever changing, as Namaka (Hawaiian goddess of the sea), works her magic on the soft white sand, taking it away and then putting it back, earning its name for the magically disappearing sands. Popular for boogie boarding and snorkeling, you can see bright schools of yellow tangs and black batfish right from the shore. Visitors and locals all love to gather at this beach to watch the spectacular sunsets!
When it’s time to grab a bite, across the street is a walk up grill where you can get a cup of fresh roasted Kona coffee and breakfast in the morning, or lunch in the afternoon. They make incredible acai bowls with fresh local fruit! You can grab a beer or cocktail to go here and enjoy it on the beach. Also across the street is Magics Beach Grill, offering oceanside dining lit by tiki torches with spectacular reef fish viewing and glowing sunsets! Downtown Kona is just 4 miles away with a variety of restaurants to choose from. Don’t feel like driving? The Kona trolley stops right here and will take you downtown or to the nearest shopping center where you can pick up some food if you feel like making a laid back meal at home in your fully stocked kitchenette. Enjoy dining in at a handcrafted mango bar top table, with a stellar view of the ocean.
Kona White Sands has the honor of being one of very few places in Kona with a beach right out front. Whether you plan to relax in a hammock on the beach or experience the many adventures this island has to offer, you will feel at home in this unique vintage Hawaiian apartment hotel.

Wonderfully comfortable. Small complex with easy parking. Great location across the street from the beach. We could hear the sounds of the waves at night. The kitchen gave us everything we needed. We will stay again when visiting Kona.
8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
This space has super fun decor and amazing amenities. Loved the use of beach towels and chairs, cooler, so many kitchen appliances. Overall it was clean and in a great location for our travels and close to so many great beaches, sights, and restaurants. I applaud the hosts for their descriptive honesty that there is no AC; however, it was hot and uncomfortable sleeping and merely opening the sliding door or windows to feel the ocean breeze, wasn’t an easy or appropriate fix. There is a very busy road between the space and the beach, and many cars had loud engines, played loud music, and people hung out at the beech, all of this occurring every night at all hours.

We had a wonderful stay at Atomic Tiki! The condo has the best decor we've ever seen in a rental and we had so much fun discovering the little treasures in all the fun items they have collected here. The beach was easy to access just across the street. We didn't realize that the unit isn't air conditioned but that was a small price to pay for such a great location, great communication, and a great value.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
The location is magical, but the lack of a/c was felt upon arrival. The evening sun bakes the room and we found it to be hotter inside than it was outside by almost ten degrees. While we appreciated the amenities provided, the pool noodles and boogie boards were dry-rotting and we ended up leaving them behind to avoid littering in the ocean. We recommend getting a ductless a/c or portable one to make this place as special as it looks. (we ended up buying one from walmart and returning it at the end of our trip and it made a world of difference in enjoying our stay)
