Nanseaʻs studio is a wonderful spot, seriously walking distance to magic sands beach - about ten slow and deliberate minutes to soak up the community, smell the plumeria and listen as the sound of the ocean goes from distant to prevalent and inviting. Great amenities like beach towels, body boards, beach umbrella and chairs. Outdoor eating area was perfect and the neighborhood had friendly folks milling about. We did grill one night, ordered take out which was fast and of course ate at some of the local places.
We returned to quiet each night after a day of carousing along Aliʻi drive. We only used the outdoor shower (and had several friendly geckos accompany us which was so special). Mind the dangerous shore breaks at Magic Sands. A man was taken away by ambulance. Enjoy the view and the water safely (PS, donʻt ever decide to leave your camera/phone at home if you even MIGHT be at the beach during sunset, you will miss a spectacular show). We had a memorable time.
