Gorgeous family stay at White Sands

Fantastic stay at White Sands, very comfortable and charming apartment on lovely grounds with a gorgeous pool. Only a stone's throw from a really stunning beach. Everything was very clean, and Sandro was very helpful. A short drive to Murta Maria with lovely reasonable restaurants and cafes. Cafe Nonnas had great coffee and the best pistachio croissants. Restaurant Murta Maria had great pizza, and Il Fare was well worth the drive, but do book ahead. You definitely need a car here. Will stay again. Porto Istana beach is stunning.

The WiFi is very poor, unfortunately.

We can fully recommend White Beach Residence

Beautiful residence close to several small beaches in little bays, with a very nice pool

If wifi would reach into the apartment it would have been perfect since to discover the island it's necessary to check for beach locations/routes/restaurant/supermmarket locations. Luckily the wifi reached the pool area very well so we stayed at the pool many times 😁 We discovered the northern part of the island, with pacific-blue water, and beautiful beaches and nice little harbours Furthermore the host, Sandro was very helpful in facilitating our stay

Wonderful location, clean apartment, great staff, wonderful surroundings and amazing pool

Fantastic location, very close to the beach. The swimming pool was kept in amazing conditions. Super clean and well supervised by the super professional life guard.

Just small details: the swimming pool’s grid was broken. Having a tap/outdoor shower to wash your feet after the beach would have been helpful

Very good

The pool and fast response from the employees. 10 min walk from beach :)

Poor facilities in the kitchen and apartment, bring your own basics. And when your neighbours had a party at night (or sneezed) it was like being part of it. But we managed :)

Our stay was lovely and relaxing but you definitely need a car as the transport links aren’t great and the residence is

The property was lovely, spacious and close to the beach. The pool was always clean and pretty.

The property was around a 30 minute walk to the closest town and supermarket. We would definitely suggest having a car as everything other than the beach is a little too far to walk in the heat and you have to walk on a main road.

Great location with very nice pool. Very nice and clean beach.

Mr.Sandro was very friendly. The pool at the location is great. Kids loved it. The beach is about 10mins walk and it was great also - beautifull view on a island with mountain in front of this beach! You can bring your own suntent or umbrella. We recommend the restaurant Est Istana - best pizza we had in 2 week on Sardinia. The trip to see Doplhins from Olbia was also very nice - https://olbiaseaexcursions.com/ There is big chance that you will actually see doplhins cause they eat fishes next to fish farm. We saw them...

The sofa / couch in living room was not so comfortable to sleep.

Astonishing views, close to the beach, clean and neat, cook yourself

The place is in a nice segregated compound, which tends to be very quiet. There is a stunning roof terrace with a great view. The beach itself is about a 7 minute walk away, which is not too bad either. The flats have A/Cs as well that are nice to have.

It is pretty difficult to get to from Olbia without a car in the off season as you really have to hit the mark with the public buses (but still better than most other places). There also is no wi-fi.

Great place to relax, but be sure to hire a car to get there.

Great location - 7 minute walk to the beautiful Porto Istana beach. Fantastic pool - clean and big. Quiet and calm place, just perfect for rest and relaxation.

No coffee set in the room, although the description on booking.com said there would be one. Furniture old and not too functional. Small, tight shower. Nearest shops / restaurants are 2 km away - be sure to hire a car as there is no Uber in Sardinia and taxis are horribly expensive.

A nice location let down by some easy to fix problems.

The sea and pool

The sofa bed was horrendous. We arrived late and they hadn’t pulled out the sofa bed which took a while to figure out as it was very old. The cutlery and crockery needed rewashing as it was all dirty. There is nothing consumable in the kitchen (eg salt, sugar, a cloth etc).

Great vacationplace for families

The host, Sandro, was really kind, sweet and helpfull. The pool is really clean and nice and the place has a nice quiet atmosphere. Well functioned aircondition in the apartment. The beach nearby is faboulous with crystalclear water and beautiful white sand. Important: You need a car to get around to restaurants and to buy groceries! Also you need to bring your own beachtowels!

One set of clean bathroomtowels for ten days of vacation is a bit on the cheap side. Should be changed more often without any cost.

Fantastic location walking distance to beautiful beach

The location to the beach was the reason we booked at White Sands which made the 4 night minimum booking worth it! It was an easy 10min walk to the beach & what a beautiful beach! We rented sunbeds & an umbrella & loved every minute we spent at the beach in that magical water. Sandro the Manager was very helpful and was happy to recommend local restaurants. The pool was also lovely, but with lots of families using the pool, it was busy which was absolutely fine - preferred being at the beach anyway. The room was very pleasant - A/C was much appreciated, but it is all about the location to the beach.

We had to supply our own good dishcloth & tea towel as none supplied, also only 1 roll of toilet paper supplied for a 4 night minimum stay - didn't feel we should have to ask, so just bought our own.

Good value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to come back again.

A very good value for money within 10 minutes by foot from a pretty beach (Porto Istana). Quiet, well-maintained site. Kitchenette rather modest but still serviceable for simple meals. To be noted that the nearest supermarket is 30 minutes by foot, so it is convenient to have a car. I wouldn't hesitate to come back again.

For the price, nothing really.

Basic accommodation in lovely resort, with helpful and friendly staff and close to the beach.

Set in beautiful, well maintained grounds. Spectacular pool. Nice and quiet. Good proximity to the beach. Good aircon in the room.

The room was fairly basic, in line with other experiences of similar properties in Sardinia but a few small changes/a bit of modernisation would make it even better. For example, only one toilet roll provided for a 7 night stay - guests are expected to replenish themselves, no tea towel/drying up cloth provided for use in kitchen and pillows on bed in need of replacing.

The beach is PARADISE on the earth!!!!

The location was fantastic and quiet which is very important to us! The beach is 5 min a way walking. The owner is amazing person! Everything meet my expectations! The swimming pool was nice, at night time is more beautiful after switch on the lights and there is also Jacuzzi area 😉 We spent the most amazing holiday and next summer definitely will be back!
