Cozy Condo With Ocean View |Great Pool | Walk to Punalu'u Beach

Aloha and welcome back to the trip to Hawaii you have been dreaming about! If you are looking to really get away from it all, visit one of the least populated spots in the part of Hawaii that is most like "old Hawaii". The Ka'u district is the largest on the Big Island and has the smallest population. Take time to step back, slow down...explore, relax, swim. Just be.

Need to Know
The condo does not have air conditioning; there are three ceiling fans and generous Hawaiian louver windows for ventilation
Price shown includes Hawaii taxes - General Excise Tax and Transient Accommodations Tax. Your only other charge from us is a once per stay cleaning charge.

Our condo is in a rural location for exploring remote, less developed and less visited parts of the Big Island. We are the closest (only) resort condos to Volcanoes National Park. Drive from our beachfront location to the higher elevation park entrance in about 30 minutes. You will find the real Hawaii because you will be in the real Hawaii!

As of 2022, the current average hotel room price for a non-ocean view room on the Big Island is $260/ night plus tax. The Ocean View average hotel rate is now over $400 a night. We hope you'll agree that our ocean view condo, at far less than half the average nightly hotel rate (non ocean view!) is a wonderful value.

Pleasant but not amazing
I've probably just been spoiled by more remote and/secluded stays, and while this stay wasn't bad, it's not a location I'd select again. The condo itself was clean and well kept, but don't fool yourself into thinking two small ceiling fans will help with 80° weather and 95% humidity. Since we didn't plan to do more than sleep and have the occasional meal there, no biggie....except for the neighbors. Being a condo (and a downstairs unit at that) you expect some noise. It wasn't bad with the first guest above us, but the second guest required calls to the property owner and a visit to the leasing office to resolve. 8-10 people (mostly kids) running around screaming for a bday party for several hours in the evening wasn't what I'd consider "relaxing". And since there is no AC, everyone keeps their balcony doors open which means you just hear it even more. Next morning we come back to an even larger group above us, shoes and toys everywhere outside, and even noisier than the last night, so we decide to just leave and go explore vs eating at the condo. Property owners did resolve the issue with the leasing office and owner of the condo above us, but of the 4 nights there only one didn't have us listening to furniture being moved around, chairs slid inside/outside, kids running around, etc. If you don't mind kids or generally feeling like you live in an apartment from your 20s, it could be a perfect spot.

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.

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.

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?

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!

A Great Place with a few considerations
Overall, we had a great stay. Location (Volcano Nat'l Park, Distance to Kona and Hilo), view, complex/facility and interaction with host (Tom/Christine) including information prior to arrival - wonderful. Consider: A ground floor unit - can hear everything in the above unit that is Condo owned. We had the unfortunate experience of having a toddler awaken us at 4:30AM (1st night) and 6:00- 6:30AM each following day. Not ideal for a peaceful and tranquil experience. Only one towel set per person, no dishwasher or in-unit washer/dryer.

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!

Peace and quiet, and an earthquake
#20 at Sea Mountain was everything we were looking for. We wanted to spend a few days at the south end of the Big Island so that we could easily go to Volcanoes National Park. We also wanted to spend some time at Punalu'u Black Sands Beach and visit the Punalu'u Bakery in Naalehu. Check, check and check. We found this to be the perfect location for us. It was very comfortable (including the bed!!), we had all that we needed for cooking our own meals, and more than enough supplies like TP, paper, towel, dish soap, hand soap etc. Tom was very good with communication, especially when he heard that we had experienced an M5.7 earthquake with an epicentre not far from our location! We would definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking for a quieter, more authentic Hawai'i, away from the busyness of the bigger towns.

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!

Secluded little getaway
If you’re looking for a secluded, low-key, relatively quiet little place for a honeymooning couple to just spend time together, this is ideal. Not a lot of tourists (except at Black Sand Beach nearby). The local community and shops in Na’alehu gives your experience more authenticity. Great little place if you’re trying to get away.

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.
