About this property

Cozy Ocean View Condo - Great Pool & Short Walk to Punalu'u Beach

Aloha and welcome to your Hawaiian escape

If you're craving true serenity, come discover Kaʻū—the Big Island’s largest district and its most peaceful. With the smallest population and the richest sense of “Old Hawaii,” Kaʻū invites you to unplug, unwind, and reconnect with what matters.

Here, time slows. Trade the rush for rhythm. Swim on our famous black beach, explore untouched landscapes and let the island’s spirit restore yours.

Whether you're stargazing under velvet skies or sipping coffee grown just down the road, this is your invitation to simply be.

Why Guests Love Our Place:

Uncrowded adventure: ideal for travelers seeking serenity, nature, and the real Hawaii

•Updated interior: new textiles, lighting, quartz counters, and a stylish tile backsplash.
•Ocean views: enjoy sweeping views from both the condo and oversized ground-floor lanai
•Cozy comfort: thoughtful layout with a queen bed and generous storage to feel at home.
•Outdoor living: lanai with ceiling fan feels like an extra room for breezy island relaxation.
•Resort amenities: pool, hot tub, grills, tropical gardens, and manicured grounds.
•Real kitchen for real stays: full-size fridge, electric stove/oven, microwave, and extra counter space.
•Beach gear included: chairs, towels, and snorkel equipment ready for your adventures.

Smart setup: high-speed WiFi, Smart TV, HDMI connection, and free parking

Legal and permitted: our unit is fully permitted by the County of Hawaii—peace of mind guaranteed.

Exceptional value: ocean-view hotel rooms average $385–$700+ per night. Our condo? Less than half that—and we have the view.

A Note on Climate Control: There is NO air conditioning or heat in the unit—just like most homes in this region. With three ceiling fans and generous Hawaiian louver windows, natural ventilation keeps things comfortable. If A/C is a must-have, we may not be the right fit.

Our ocean-view condo offers the perfect base for exploring the Big Island’s most untouched and authentic region—Kaʻū. Nestled in a rural location near the #1 black sand beach park and just 30 minutes from Volcanoes National Park, this is Hawaii as it was meant to be: quiet, wild, and soul-restoring.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Everything was just as advertised and was a great place to stay. Only problem was that the condo didn't get much breeze that came through and didn't cool off at night as much as we would have liked. The over head fans did help but being from the PNW it was very warm for sleeping. Other than the place was cute and perfect for our stay.

The condo was incredible, and exceeded our expectations. The outdoor area was wonderful--very private, with a view of the ocean. Everything was as pictured--very clean and cozy. It has everything we needed for our stay. The location was incredible--so close to the beach! We saw the green sea turtles every day.

This was a very clean and comfortable location, near the black sand beach on the Big Island. Not near any shopping centers or full grocery stores as you might be use too, but we stopped at a Costco on the way out to the home and stocked up with supplies so we never felt in need of anything. We stayed there for part of our stay in order to enjoy the seclusion and peacefulness. Then spent the last 3 days in Kona ...to "re-acclimate" to the city life. Overall a very good vacation.

This was a perfect choice for us. Clean, comfortable, beautiful, quiet. While no A/C could have been an issue we were not inconvenienced by it. The surrounding area was not a metropolis but presented us with some exquisitely gorgeous beauty. We enjoyed Ka’u Coffee Company and took a meandering drive down the road it was located on. It was like entering a botanical garden. Utterly gorgeous!I totally recommend this condo for comfort, views and ease of booking. Kitchen space and utensils for cooking. You won’t be disappointed if you should choose to stay here.

The room and pool area was clean. The laundry room and outside of the property were not clean. There were several soda cans around the property which we picked up. The amenities are bare, 1 towel per person for the entire stay or do the laundry for a clean towel each day. I'm not doing that on vacation. As you walk to the beach theres homeless people living along the road which surprised me. Its actually an abandoned golf course resort. Looks like at one time it may have been a much more beautiful place.

The stay was wonderful in every way! The location is ideal for exploring Volcanoes National Park, but it's also not far from other great day-trip options and the black sand beach. The space is perfect for two people; the kitchen is well-stocked if you want to cook, and there are extras like a cooler and snorkeling gear for exploring the water. Would definitely stay here again!!

Panalu’u Beach Condo Paradise

My husband and I felt this property was the perfect fit. It was peaceful and scenic. The condo had a delightful ocean view and you could hear the waves crashing on the lava shores. It had a great layout, nice decor, a super comfortable bed and was very well equipped. The pool and hot tub were also great. The hosts, Tom and Christen were quite helpful.

Peaceful Place

This tidy condo was just as advertised. It’s an easy walk to Punalu’u black sand beach. There is a dearth of restaurants in the area, but the hosts have kindly provided a few suggestions, and directions. The hosts were helpful about helping me get an item I forgot when I left, and who can ask better than that?

So Peaceful

We loved the stay here! It was quiet and peaceful, it had everything you need!! It is a rural setting, which we weren't prepared for, so arriving after 5 pm on a Sunday, we found no grocery stores open or restaurants, within a half hour. On Monday, all of that changed, just be prepared. We used their cooler and water toys, there was plenty of room.

Nice condo with ocean view

Very nice property in small, quiet, well-maintained development. Condo was clean, nicely furnished and well equipped, with small outdoor patio with ocean view. Development has a pool and lovely hot tub overlooking the ocean. Not many amenities (shops, restaurants) in the surrounding area, but convenient for Volcano National Park and exploring the less developed areas of Hawaii big island. Great escape from the Seattle winter!

Fabulous location!

We had a terrific time during our stay. The condo was clean and well supplied. It was a convenient location for us to hit everything in the south end and the east side of the island! We loved the black sand beach and walked down for sunrise daily. Saw sea turtles every morning. On the clearest morning we could see Kilauea glowing in the dark right on the edge of the property. Thanks Tom for a wonderful experience.

Wedding weekend

My other half and I stayed at this place to attend my cousin’s wedding in Na’alehu and it was an amazing stay! We truly enjoyed the quiet, relaxing, cleanliness of the unit and overall property. We had some down time to relax prior to the wedding so we enjoyed some relaxation poolside and in the Jacuzzi. This place is a quick 10-15 minute drive to either Na’alehu or Pahala. Awesome hosts, with prompt responses! We highly recommend!

It was a beautiful place that was located next door to a beautiful black sand beach! So relaxing with sunshine and ocean breeze! Perfect place to get away from it all yet it came with all of the conveniences to stay in touch if needed. It was stocked with everything you needed to feel at home and adventure. The host was very pleasant to deal with, easy access and very accommodating! Will definitely do this again and recommend it to everyone!

South Island Getaway

Our first visit to the Big Island and we wanted a place on the south end for our first few days. This was a perfect midpoint, right next to Pu'unaluu Beach and a quick drive to Volcanoes National Park. Tom and Christen's condo is a bit more private within the development as the lanai is off the main pathway, still with a partial ocean view. Very comfortable bed and bath! Development has a decent pool and hot tub in the common area and is quiet. Keep in mind that closest gas is back up the road in Na'alehu, and no close grocery stores, so come with food options all planned out. We had a wind storm that knocked the power out overnight, owner's communication regarding that and the weather advisory was much appreciated. Would happily stay there again!

Quiet Retreat

This locale was a welcome change from all the action in Kona. Out of the way but within a long half hour drive to Volcano National Park. Nearby town has twice weekly market and great Bakery. Be aware that the condos are the only remains of a golf resort. No AC in units but plenty of fans and the ocean breeze cools things off at night. Nice pool and hot tub with a view of ocean and two nice barbeque grills. A few minutes walk to famous black sand beach with turtles. Best visited in early morning or evening. Snorkeling depends on the wind. Overall we loved it. Price was good, possibly due to being a little more removed from major cities and services. We had our own snorkeling gear but they had two sets of good gear, beach chairs and cooler. We would definitely stay here again. Makala.
