We just got back from our stay on the island of Hawaii. We rented a condo at White Sands Village in Kona.
Our place was quite large and fully furnished in tropical decor. The kitchen was fully equipped and quite modern. If the ocean breezes aren't enough, the condo has air-conditioning.
Magic Sands Beach is directly across the street, the sand is white and clean and the swimming is good. There is also a pool at the complex which was never crowded or noisy.
Kahaluu Beach is just 1 and 1/2 miles down the coast, where we found the snorkeling to be really good.
We found the White Sands Village to be great value for its accomodations and location.
