The property is super. If you like beautiful sunsets, oceanfront location, good amenities, fish and turtles swimming by, whales on the horizon, a comfy bed, attentive property managers then you’ll love this property. 5 stars all the way! We can’t wait to return.

We had a nice stay at the Magic Sands. The property is right on the water. You could hear the crashing waves the entire time. Ted was very communicative and helpful, as was the property manager. At check in, the place had not been cleaned but the property manager sent someone over as soon as possible that night to get clean linens in. The following day another person came to properly clean. Once all this was settled we really enjoyed the location right on Ali'i Dr. It was nice to have beach chairs and boogie boards to use during our stay. We would stay again.

This was the first half of a two week getaway with my wife. This was our first vacation rental and it was nearly perfect. Some things that weren’t perfect but I don’t feel it should affect the 5 star is that there is construction on the property and the pool wasn’t available for the first couple days due to a high tide that flooded the pool (tells you how close we were). That said, the condo was clean, well furnished and the desire to be close to the ocean was achieved! Wonderful place to just enjoy the waves from a comfortable chair. I would strongly recommend this condo. It was easy to check in and check out!! Look forward to returning perhaps later this year.

We enjoyed watching the sunset, numerous whales and dolphins swim past everyday. This location is a little out of town and right on the beach, easy access to wherever you want to go for the day. Unfortunately, there was construction going on both below this unit and next to the pool. The condo could use some TLC and more comfortable furniture.

Overall, our trip was relaxing. The facility was constructed in 1966. The disappointing aspect of our stay was the ongoing renovation of the property, and no mention of it taking place. Construction had the parking lot divided, and the sound of jackhammers and other concrete machinery reverberating through the cinderblock and concrete building was very annoying. We could not enter the pool from the front entry and had to walk around to a side gate. A main reason we selected the property was BECAUSE of the pool area pictures. The scaffolding was directly into the pool area, and the pool lounge chairs were pushed to the edge of the pavement. We did not use the pool or BBQ the area was congested or otherwise cordoned off. We would love to return to the unit and recommend it WHEN the construction is completed.

Location, location, location.
I doubt there is a better view from anywhere else on the Kona coast. Directly down from our third floor corner room we watched fish swimming in The waves every morning. White sands beach is steps away and the host provided everything we needed for swimming, snorkeling and lounging on the beach. The place is a little old and shows its age, but I wouldn’t let that deter me a moment from coming back. Absolutely fantastic!!

We alerted host Ted about the ant infestation (had video and pics of roughly a thousand of them in the bathroom, kitchen, and on the sofa). A dozen ants on top of the bed we killed but several had gotten under the topsheet which was disgusting. Tried not to let it ruin my husband's 80th birthday but it was terrible.
We kept killing them down but the 3rd day was the worst and we both lost sleep. Ted asked us to track down the nice onsite mgr (on OUR vacation!) but she didn't have traps. On last day he had traps brought in and a lamp to plug in on counter (microwave over cooktop not working so it was totally dark when trying to cook after dusk).
To make matters worse he fraudulently retained $100 in taxes for nights we prepaid and cancelled within the proper time frame. We were going to let it go but not after he gave NO apology, no adjustment, and what we went through - plus worrying the ants were going to come home in our luggage.
Also, the listing shows it sleeps 5 but sleeps 4 max.. It only has one queen bed and one pullout queen sleeper.
VRBO opened a case but Ted not responding to them either so we'll have to have VISA deal with him. Would not recommend this rental!

Loved the unbeatable sunset with sound of crashing waves throughout day and night. Unit was self sufficient, could use some furniture updating but overall acceptable.

This corner unit with all the windows and mirrors makes it feel like you're living in an enclosed deck. Very clean.

Nice location. Studio unit. There is a popular beach next door (although watch your time of year since the sand "disappears" exposing rock). We enjoyed the restaurant/bar attached to property. Some construction noise during our stay, but it wasn't too bad since it was at the other end of the building. Pool is very comfortable temperature. View from unit is directly to the ocean and very nice!

Wonderful holiday thanks to this amazing apartment right on the ocean. The apartment is exactly as described and the host provides everything you need for a vacation by the sea.(Thanks so much Ted!!!) The location is perfect, so close to the beach, and to Kona, which is great! you can buy groceries at the supermarkets, enjoy the restaurants and shops, and walk around downtown. It is very convenient if you book tours because most of them have a stop nearby the Kona area. We totally recommend it and we will be back.
Thanks for all Ted, we have had a wonderful vacation! Greetings Marian and family

These were the best two weeks ever! This is the perfect place, the view, the location, and the magic! Best vacay ever! The most beautiful beach, the sound of the waves 24/7, the fantastic, and always delicious Magic's Grill, and the best beach shack in the world!! Location is key. And service second to none. So perfect in every way! Mahalo Ted!
