I did not know I was going to be so close to the famous Punaluu Black Sand Beach. I could walk there to see the turtles and just to relax in the morning.

This place is amazing, my husband did not bring everything he needed for snorkeling. We were surprise to find everything we needed here. There were beach chairs, snorkel gear, 3 boogie boards, some ice coolers and even some flashlights.

This condo is 11 miles from Na'alehu the town. Na'alehu has many restaurants and the famous Punalu'u bake shop.

If you are on the way to visit the Volcano, you can stop in Pahala for gas and snacks, you can also visit the Kau Coffee Mill.

We did not spend much time at the condo but found it a great place to stay. We did cook some meals here but did not use the grills by the pool. You do not need to buy spices for your cooking. This place has everything you need. The fridge has plenty of dressings for your salads and a large amount of butter. We did not know this and bought some too.

The pool overlooks the ocean and everything around the place is nice and clean.

The lanai faces the ocean and you can relax here with a drink at the end of the day.

We drove over 1250 miles visiting the Big Island and were always happy to return to our second home.

We even had some geckos visiting often in the lanai.

Thank you for sharing your home with us. We treated it as if it was our own home.

p.s. for those buying groceries, make sure you buy closer to Hilo or Kona as the small stores in Na'alehu and Pahala do not carry much but snacks and drinks.
