Aloha! Kick your shoes off, take a deep breath of fresh ocean air, close your eyes and listen to the birds singing!

You have arrived in Old Hawaii, so relax and enjoy (Ku'u aku & Luana, walea). Sea Mountain is off the beaten track for those who appreciate leisure. You are truly away from the hustle and bustle of life’s daily pressures and demands. You are now amidst the beauty of the flora and fauna this area provides... and here, your time is your own.

You get a little local flavor, less resort-like feel, with beautiful ocean views and pool. Star gaze at night while soaking in the hot tub. Take an easy stroll to see the turtles at the black sand beach.
The breathtaking, panoramic view assails the senses as the weary body and soul take in wispy breezes, rhythmic ocean sounds, scent of tropical blooms, and soft birdsong and warmth of real sunshine.
This is a private Studio unit/bedroom alcove in a secluded resort in the rural district of Kau. It's a hidden gem! For those who want to relax, chill, explore Volcano National Park or enjoy the Black & Green Sand Beaches, it is an ideal location. Sea Mountain Condo #18 is for those who want a quiet get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
