Quiet get away

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.

Great Condo

We are a hiking crew so being near the Volcano National Park allowed to get a couple of days of hiking there. Also Black Beach was 2 minutes away and it wasn't too far from Green Beach, also nice. We did have to drive a bit to get to Captain Cook to hike down to the memorial to snorkel but it was worth it. Tons of fish, lots of variety. The only negative is a lack of good grocery stores so load-up when you're in Kona or Hilo. Finally I thought to condo was a lot nicer in person than the pictures showed.

It’s All About Relaxing

Very quiet and relaxing except that our unit was near the dumpsters and they were emptied every other night (which is a good thing)@1:30-2:00am.!! This was left out of the description. Nice view of the Pacific Ocean sunrise.

Amazing getaway

If you want a relaxing vacation, this is the place to be! Beautiful location next to the black sand beach. It feels like you are out in the middle of nowhere. We stopped at Walmart on our way in. Had picnics several times on the beach. It was so nice that the condo had beach chairs, umbrella and anything else you could think of. The pool was beautiful although we preferred to walk to the beach. Thank you so much!

Great Value, Quiet Location!

BACKSTORY: Hubby (age 67) and I (age 62) rented this condo for seven nights on a recent trip to the Big Island. We found it to be exceptionally clean, well-stocked, and a great price. Additionally, the owners are super to work with; we had difficulty at first booking the property and they promptly assisted us. I would say the only "downside" to the property -- and this depends on what you like to do when you travel -- is the location. If you are the "need to be in the middle of things" type, it's not for you. We, however, are the "let's get away from it all and have some relaxation" type and it was great for that. It is located about 1.5 hours from the Kona Airport and 50 minutes from Hilo. It's kind of out there all by itself. Restaurant and small grocery are at least a half-hour away. About 45-50 minutes to Volcanoes Nat'l Park. A five-minute walk to Black Sand Beach with sea turtles! The grounds are nicely maintained, and it's very quiet. This unit is ground-floor with parking just a few steps from the door. No outside stairs at all (but inside there are 5-6 steps from the bedroom/bath area to the living area). We enjoyed the pool (old-school; deeper than most and the bottom is complete TILED in 1' tiles! You don't see that anymore!). Outdoor hot tub was warm but not too hot and designed with a lava rock theme. At night, the faux rock wall has red lights in it to represent lava. There are also three small ponds with gold fish. From the hot tub and pool area you can see the ocean. There is an adjacent golf course as well, but we didn't play it. We much prefer cooking our own meals and relaxing to going out to dine all the time. The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances and enough gadgets, pots&pans, etc to make cooking a meal easy. Dinnerware, flatware and glassware are good. The owners kindly provide a few things hard to bring with you: beach towels, snorkel fins; coolers (both hard and soft side) and a beach umbrella. We used them all. Bedroom features a king-sized bed adjacent to the bathroom -- which has been redecorated to feature surround tile in tub/shower area, granite countertop. Very nice size bathroom. There's a flat-screen t.v. and free WIFI. Overall, I'd rent this unit again and recommend it with this caveat: it's "out in the country" and if you need to be near restaurants, shopping, nightlife, etc. this is not the location for you. Great owners to work with!

Perfect getaway on the Big Island

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.

Great Location

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!

Easy home-base!

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!

Great Vacation

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.

You will not be disappointed!

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!
