Great stay in great location

Hi, this was a great air bnb for our family. Very clean, nice kitchen to cook in, excellent AC, easy parking, and very close walk to Magic Sands beach where you can watch beautiful big waves. While Magic Sands isn't the best beach for kids, it was an easy drive into town and to many great kid friendly beaches. We appreciated the booster seat and Pack N Play for our toddler. The owner was easy to communicate with and replaced something quickly when it broke. We are looking forward to staying here again!

Perfect setting

We came to cheer on our son at Ironman. It was a very convenient spot for the race and to stay out of the melee of the event. The home was private, quiet, and very clean, had all cooking equipment for a large or small dinner. Get up with the birds. Easy, "secret" walk to the beautiful beach around the corner; faster to walk than to drive. Highly recommended.

Perfect house and great location

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We had our own personal code to enter the house, which is always a plus for security. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The location was within walking distance to the beach and a great location for a short drive to shopping and restaurants. We loved how detailed the labels were in the house. The host was super accommodating and communicated quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Magic Days at Magic Sands

We had a great stay at this property! The cleanliness of the house was appreciated, the beds comfy and best of all it was a good location for all that we wanted to do while on the island. This property manager is also responsive and cooperative. When our trip was extended courtesy of the airlines, he worked with us to be able to stay the extra day.

Comfy and convenient

Our stay was perfect for our needs. The house was in a quiet neighborhood and very easy to get to the airport, beaches, and everywhere else we needed to go. Three bedrooms and 1 bath was perfect for our family of 5. There was a twin bed left empty so more vacationers would fit. We used the kitchen to cut costs by eating in at night. It was stocked with a lot of the basics (spices, etc) which was nice. Overall, a great part of our week's vacation.

Great house, even better than the photos! Clean and well appointed. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Easy 3 block walk to a beautiful beach, covered parking, and communication with Hal was excellent. We travelled with a <1 yr old, and he was able to use the High chair and pack'n'play, much appreciated! The only small issue was it was a bit confusing as to where the door code was the first day, but the upstairs neighbors showed us.

This place was great for 6 of us. 3 different couples.. everything aside from food was provided and plenty of extra towels and water toys. We didn't read in the listing that this was a duplex and was worried after receiving our check in instructions. However, you could barely tell there's someone/people up there and we didn't receive any complaints on our end! Thank you!

Disappointing beach, but nice house

Magic Sands Beach was very small and rocky. House was very clean and comfortable, but we were rationed with 4 total rolls of toilet paper and 3 ounces each of shampoo and conditioner. Seven laundry pods and less than 10 dishwasher pods were provided for 8 days. We bought more amenities, but had to travel around the island to get them. Just inconvenient…
