Wow! This place is awesome! The Kona Magic Sands is right next to Magic Sands beach which is a beautiful white sand beach with great swimming, snorkeling, and dolphin watching.
This is the best unit in the complex. It is on the top floor with a wraparound lanai overlooking the beach (there is no elevator). We've stayed in other units but will only stay in this one from now on. Everything about this unit rocks. The attention to every detail made our stay extremely enjoyable including everything from the glass Q-tip holder down to the Tommy Bahama sheets. I know that may sound funny but everything was above and beyond our expectations. The decorum is bar none. They even have a storage box on the lanai with beach gear like boogie boards, Tommy Bahama chairs, umbrellas, etc. When we arrived, all you need is a code they provide to enter the front door.
If we had any questions before our trip, the owner replied immediately by email. We never had a need to call before or during the trip but had their phone number if we needed. Before the trip, we would ask if he had such or such an appliance or amenity, the answer was always yes. When we got there, one of those appliances that we asked about was still new in the box...almost like he had purchased it just for us. We were happy to find the kitchen pretty much fully stocked like spices, foil, plastic bags, etc. We added a few things as well.
The complex has a private laundry mat with machines that use an app called Payrange. You can use quarters or you can use the app to purchase funds, select your washer and dryer, and it even tells you when your clothes will be done so you don’t have to hang out and waste any time staring at a machine.
There is also a newly renovated restaurant attached called Magics which has fantastic food, a great ocean front view, a killer bar and sunsets.
Since the unit is surrounded by ocean on two sides, the waves can be a bit loud at night and we had to get used to that as we live in the mountains and are used to very quiet nights. With that being said, we love the sound of the ocean. The only drawback with having a restaurant below was hearing the delivery van’s backup beeping at 6am in the morning (we’re not early morning risers). Also, they like to do a lot of blowing in the morning, but it keeps the place nice and clean.
You will not be disappointed in this place. It may just be your best vacation ever as it was definitely our best!
