We loved everything about this place, especially the location- ability to walk to the black sand beach for sunrises and seeing the sea turtles, and easy drives to Hilo and Volcanoes NP. It was clean and had all the amenities we needed.
Everything was really great - the unit was clean, well appointed, very comfortable. The property is located neat Black Sand Beach which is within walking distance and a nice place to relax as were the pool and hot tub. We could hear the ocean from our unit too. The staff we met on-site were very pleasant. We would definitely stay here again.
Condo was the perfect location for Volcano National Park which was the main reason for our visit to the Big Island - a bonus was the black sand beach within walking distance. There was an issue with cleaning which is the reason for the reduced stars. HOWEVER, I am sure that it was an anomaly and the owner was very communicative and corrected the situation in a timely manner. I recommend this condo and would stay there again!
Lovely EXCEPT the garbage pick-up at 3 AM 3 times was very very loud. The unit was charming and had lovely touches.. I live on Island was was here to be close to a spiritual retreat. Have stayed in many time shares and you could tell the carer that was taken in this one! Mahalo!
Was good location for our plans! Volcano park, South point and of course the black sand beach. Condo was well appointed, nice bed, very small ocean view but could hear the ocean on the balcony. Pool area was good too. No A/C was an adjustment, the unit did get stuffy on warm days, available fans were used for most of the stay. I think the owners recognized this and did make extra efforts to aid in this common situation. It is listed without A/C so there wasn’t any miscommunication, it was just a bigger adjustment than I expected. Thought that might be noteworthy for the next travelers. All in all our trip was great and the big island great fun! Thanks for sharing your unit!
Second time we have stayed in this condo complex. Although the golf course (between complex and ocean) is closed this time, you can still hear and see the Pacific. In addition this unit is at the back of the complex and there are units that the lanai looks over, the view is still relaxing and wonderful. Very clean, comfortable king bed, and stocked kitchen made for an enjoyable 8 night stay. Hosts are responsive and agreeable, and cannot say enough good things about Tiana on site - she is charming, conversant, and helpful. Loved it from retired couple traveling the world!
Beautiful views from the balcony and pool and very quiet. It was a convenient location for our visit to Volcanoes National Park and on another day we went to a coffee farm and the Punalu’u Bake Shop. Owner was very helpful too. So glad we found this place!
This is a great place to stay if you would like to get away from the hustle and bustle of it all. It is an ideal spot in southern Hawaii to visit Hilo or Kona. The pool overlooks the ocean and it’s beautiful. It is in walking distance to a black sand beach, first we have ever seen.
It is a remote place, but a short walk away from the infamous black sand beach and is a nice escape. There are not many restaurants nearby but it is close to the volcano and gives you a quiet, Hawaiian feel. Beautiful ocean view too, especially from the pool and hot tub! The condo was kept in great condition.
The unit was perfect for two people in a quiet, well maintained complex.
Loved being able to see and hear the ocean as well being treated to a constant chorus of bird song.
