When you book a room you never really know what it’s going to be like until you get there. I’m gonna tell you…Charlie’s place is the type of place that makes you audibly say Wow! You open the door and are greeted by the ocean, framed by two tall palms. The place is completely updated with nice new floors and counters and a beautiful shower. The floors were great because even when you try your hardest to get sand off, you bring some back. Easily swept out from the tile floor through the double sliding doors on the ocean view. The room itself doesn’t walk out to the beach but Magic Sands beach is right next door. You walk out to the hallway and at the end of the hallway is the sand of the beach. The room has beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, snorkels, and noodles. The beach is perfectly situated to watch the sunset. We watched two and they were both completely unique! Magic Sands is a popular upscale restaurant connected to the building. Hard to get a reservation so we walked down in our evening wear to get takeout. The lady said “nonsense. I’ll seat you. Come on back”. The meal was excellent. Maybe the best meal on our whole trip. And because you’re staying at magic sands, you get 10% off!!
We will absolutely book Charlie’s room again if we come back to Kona. Really great all around!
