You can’t get closer to the ocean. It’s waves are gently crashing right outside the window! All the reviews are true, this place is awesome. Todd is a dream, so fast at communication and a lovely human all around. I stayed here one night on my way into Hawaii for a retreat and it was the perfect place to rest my weary head after a full day of travel. There is a bus stop really close to Todd’s place that will take you into Kailua-Kona for $1 (have exact change if you can) and there is a bike share you can ride around town and back to magic beach and then walk to Todd’s from there. It’s a great location! I would definitely stay here again :)
