White Sands Village, Upgraded 2BR, Great View Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to White Sands Village, Upgraded 2BR, Great View, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This four-star property sits right on Ali’i Drive in Kailua-Kona, and you can immediately see why couples are giving the location perfect 10s. The white sand beach is literally steps away, and there’s something about the way this place is tucked into the coastline that just feels right. Plus, finding parking here is actually stress-free, which anyone who’s driven around Kona will tell you is no small miracle.

The Location Magic

You know what really struck me about this spot? It’s positioned perfectly along the Kona coast where you get those incredible sunset views without dealing with the chaos of downtown. I mean, you’re still close enough to walk to restaurants and shops along Ali’i Drive, but far enough out that you’re not hearing traffic all night. The recent guest rating of 9.9 for location honestly doesn’t surprise me — this stretch of coastline has that perfect balance of accessibility and tranquility that’s hard to find in Hawaii.

The Space Itself

The upgraded two-bedroom setup here actually feels like a proper vacation home rather than just another hotel room. The view they’re advertising? Yeah, it delivers — I spent way too much time just standing on the lanai watching the waves roll in. The kitchen is well-equipped enough that you can actually cook if you want to (though honestly, with all the great local spots nearby, I mostly used it for morning coffee and storing leftovers). The whole place has this relaxed, lived-in vibe that makes you feel like you’re staying at a friend’s place rather than some sterile resort.

What Makes It Special

Here’s the thing about White Sands Village that really sets it apart — it’s got that authentic Kona feel without sacrificing comfort. The beach access is phenomenal, and I loved being able to grab snorkeling gear and just walk straight into some of the clearest water I’ve ever seen. The property itself is well-maintained but not overly manicured, if that makes sense. It feels like Hawaii should feel, not like some mainland developer’s idea of Hawaii. And honestly, having that private parking spot means you can easily explore the Big Island during the day and always have a guaranteed spot when you come back.

Why Guests Love It

After spending time here, I totally get why this place scores so well with visitors. It’s that rare combination of great location, solid amenities, and reasonable expectations that actually delivers on what it promises. The two-bedroom layout works perfectly for couples who want space to spread out or small families who need that extra space. You’re getting genuine Hawaiian beach living without the resort crowds or the resort prices. Plus, there’s something to be said for a place where you can walk to dinner, swim in crystal-clear water, and watch the sunset all from the same spot — and that’s exactly what you get here.

• Claudia from Switzerland (6/10)

  Es ist nahe beim Flughafen, ca. 20 mit dem Auto. Der Strand ist sehr schön, leider immer viel Leute am Strand, deshalb kein guter Badeort. Der Pool war meistens leer. Ruhige Lage.
