ATOMIC TIKI – live like a local at Magic Sands Beach!

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 hotels 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.

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)

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.

Sometimes in novels or TV shows, the place itself is a character. The atomic tiki was a beloved part of my first tri to Hawaii, listening to the ocean from bed, wandering across the street to have coffee in the morning and swimming, it was perfect. The hosts thought of everything, there was a cooler to take the beach and ice packs in the fridge, a book on local fish. Everything we needed was there. Huge thanks for a great stay.

Very cute Studio… GroundLevel, Directly Across from Magic Sands! Well appointed, kitschy Decor! No AC, but was comfortable enough for our short stay. It is located on Alii Drive, which is very busy, so there is road noise… again, it did not bother us… but if you are a light sleeper, it is a bit noisy. But Super Easy Access to ALL of the Best of Kona!

This is not your average place, very eclectic and unique. Very well stocked with thoughtful inclusions for coffee lovers and some fun drinkware. If you like being right in the middle of the action, this is your place. Hosts were fantastic. We left a bag behind and Andi helped problem solve getting it returned. Even after being left for several days in the agreed-upon location, everything was still in the bag. So grateful!It would’ve been fantastic to leave the siding glass door open with the screen door so we could hear the ocean waves crashing on the beach across the street, but the late night/early morning beach-going partiers we’re a bit too noisy for what we’re used to. It was really warm closing the door even with the fans on. Maybe a little portable AC unit could be an investment to consider for the future. Otherwise, this is a super great place if being immersed in the liveliness of the area is your jam and you’re not sensitive to noise like we are.Thanks so much!

We sent our daughter and husband here on their honeymoon and they reported having a good experience! In particular they noted that there was beach gear including a boogie board and snorkels, and the beach was right across the street! They did note the absence of air conditioning but said that the fans kept them from being uncomfortable. Overall, they said it was great, and perfect for two people!
