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.
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!
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!
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.

Beautiful condo
We enjoyed our stay. Thank you so very much for sharing your condo. We really enjoyed our stay. The view was wonderful, the condo was clean comfortable and well decorated. I will stay here again as we have family that lives near by.
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.

Good
Great location with ocean view
Condo had everything you need
for a confortable stay
Sue and JIm are great hosts!
Their condo is very nice, well equipped, with good views from lanai and access to very enjoyable pool. It is located in a walking distance from the Punalu'u black sand beach, which was visited by Honu, green turtles every day of our stay.
Volcanoes National Park is a short drive away, Hilo, Akaka falls and really great Tropical Bioreserve and Garden, within an hour or so drive.
We enjoyed our stay,
Mahalo!

The condo was spacious and clean with all the basic necessities and a nice view of the ocean. It is very close to the black sand beach and about 10 minutes away from the local town for coffee and amazing malasadas. Getting to Kona and Hilo was a longer trek (1 hour plus), but there is plenty of great scenery and stops along the way.
The owner was very responsive to our questions and provided clear and helpful information.
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.

Why they chose this property
Fantastic, out of the way, quiet, beautiful, serene----where one goes to kick back and relax. Not a lot of amenities, but that's part of its charm--no hustle bustle!
