Secluded , cozy poolside getaway.. Ocean views, near black sand beach & turtles.

Enjoy pleasant surroundings while you unwind and relax as you're greeted with ocean views, flowers, local birds and geckos. It is an ideal location to explore Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park or enjoy the Black and Green Sand Beaches,

The unit features a king bed and privacy doors separating the bedroom from the living area. There is a comfortable sofa sleeper. This unit has a quiet grassy area for morning yoga and night time star gazing.

This condo is steps from the saltwater pool and lava rock hot tub that overlook the ocean. The pool area houses 2 gas BBQ's, restrooms, two koi ponds, and an outdoor shower. The Punaluu lack sand beach is between a 5 - 10 minute walk. Parking at the resort and at the beach is free.

I recommend ordering groceries from Target or Safeway (Hilo and Kona options) while you wait for your luggage so that you can pick groceries on your way out of town heading towards the condo. Costco is also an option if you are flying into Kailua-Kona.
