About this apartment rental
Studio located directly across the street from Magic Sands beach with renovated kitchen and bathroom. The bedroom is separated from the living/dining area by a wall with an arched opening. You will notice the small touches honoring the sea turtle throughout the unit which is why we call it Hale Honu or House of the Turtle. (THIS IS A NON-SMOKING UNIT IN A NON-SMOKING PROPERTY. FINE IS $150 PER OCCURENCE)
******NOT AIR CONDITIONED*******IF YOU THINK YOU NEED AIR CONDITIONING YOU SHOULD NOT BOOK OUR PLACE. *****SOFA IS NOT HIDE A BED. ONLY SLEEPING IS ONE QUEEN BED****
Your parking spot is conveniently a few steps from the front door. The complex is a small quaint 10 unit complex and is located directly across the street from Magic Sands Beach (Also known as Disappearing Sands Beach). This is a great swimming beach when it is calm. When there are waves it is only good for experienced swimmers. Early morning is best time to swim and see turtles at this beach. The complex also has a washer/dryer which accept smart phone payment through a convenient app with instructions in laundry area. Washer and Dryer are $2 per load.
The kitchen was recently remodeled and has brand new custom made Khaya (African Mahogany) cabinets. The bathroom was also remodeled with a nice size walk in shower with a shower head or body sprays.
There is periods between usually November and March in which the beach may have less sand than normal due to large swells that take the sand from the beach. Once the ocean clams down the sand gets redeposited on the beach over the course of a week or so. There is no way to predict what the status of the beach sand will be. When swimming at this beach or any beach in Hawaii you should listen to the lifeguards. When there is little or no sand the beach is much more dangerous.
There is a large front lawn off the lanai and you can watch the sunset from the lanai. You can see the water from the Lanai but cannot see the beach as we have Hibiscus hedges to provide privacy as the beach can get busy and the hedges provide privacy from people walking and driving by.
The unit accommodates a MAXIMUM OF 2 GUESTS ONLY. THERE IS ONE QUEEN BED ONLY AND SOFA IS NOT A SLEEPER. THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONING There are two ceiling fans. This is a licensed Short-Term Vacation rental STVR-19-360605.

Everything was exactly as stated. Location across the street from Magic Sands is wonderful.. even with no sand at the time, it is still a great little spot to jump in the ocean. The place has everything we needed for cooking meals, etc. A great assortment of beach/snorkel gear added to the appeal. Could happily stay for months!
