We arrived at the White Sands Resort in Kona, Hawaii on Mar. 17th, 2012 ready to enjoy a week of island fun and relaxation. We were so grateful to escape the snow and rain in Seattle and were rewarded with a week of sunny, hot weather and NO RAIN! We enjoyed using the tennis courts, BBQ area and pool at... More

We stayed at White Sands very nice and planning to go back. My only complaint was the agent with Vrbo Gail I think her name was. My advice is to book direct from the owners of the suits and make sure if you do book with Vrbo you ask if the suite has air conditioning. etc.

Never shopped on the web for a place to stay and was to be honest nervous about what I was going to end up in. I was very pleased if not excited about my choice once I arrived. The condo had every thing that we needed to enjoy our stay. All furnishings, lines, appliances seemed to be new. We opened... More

http://www.vrbo.com/288986 (Room 322) This is a basic, older looking condo in the Kailua-Kona area. It has carpet and some tile, as well. The photo of the 'view from lanai' appears to be zoomed-in by the camera-yes, you do get that view but certainly not from that close (you are more like 10-ish units back even though the photo makes it...

Spent March 27 to April 7th, 2011 at condo #335. Booked this condo through VRBO. The condo was exactly like the pictures. The condo is at the back of the property making it very quiet, the grounds are nice and well kept. I don't know if it was just the time of year we were there but sitting on the... More

We stayed here with friends over spring break in March 2010. Our friends got the unit through their timeshare so we didn't have much expectations when we got there. The condos in general are in decent shape and seem to be in a safe area. The drive into the touristy area with all of the restaurants and shops was quick... More

I am not much of Condo or home rental traveler, but in Kona it worked out great for us. We generally stay in hotels, but in Kona its either high-end properties or old properties in need of renovation. In my opinion, staying at Hilton, Mauna Kea or Mauna Lani, is not true Hawaii experience. So, I contacted one of our... More

My wife and I just returned from Kona, we stayed in condo #326 at Kona White Sands. The condo was perfect. It was clean, modern, well furnished, quiet, and comfortable. The Condo complex pool was very nice too. The location was great, right across the street from Majic Sands Beach on Alii Drive. The condo was easy to book and... More
