We loved Alice and Jerry's condo at Magic Beach. It was the perfect location, an easy 5 min drive into downtown Kona while not being in the middle of that busier part of the island. We loved hearing the waves every night and the view from the condo was amazing! Other than the sound of the ocean it was really quiet - we didn't hear any of the neighbors when inside the condo and could only hear the road when in the bathroom if we had that window open. We appreciated having AC on a hot afternoon and the ocean breeze and fans were enough otherwise. There is a wonderful restaurant attached to the condos that was delicious. Alice and Jerry also offered some other recommendations that we enjoyed. We went on a day snorkel and a night snorkel with Kona Ocean Adventures. Both were great. If you can only do one we recommend the night manta ray snorkel - an experience like no other!
