#17 Large 1/1 Condo with Gorgeous Ocean Views

Aloha! This is truly a special and unique part of the world. Condo #17, Hale Maluhia (House of Peace), sits OCEANFRONT on the Sea Mountain Resort at Punalu`u Black Sand Beach. It is a spacious separate one-bedroom unit, built in the `Kama`aina` (Hawaiian bungalow) architectural style, fully furnished with hardwood and tile floors throughout. Sit on your private lanai and enjoy an unobstructed view of the ocean, 18th green on the adjacent golf course (currently closed) and the private grounds of the resort. Your experiences can be as varied as your imagination. Whether it`s a very short walk to the world famous Black Sand Beach with turtles nesting on the shore, golfing or playing tennis at the adjoining facilities, hiking or exploring along the beach, exploring local sites such as South Point (the southernmost point in the USA) or the remarkable Green Sand Beach, travelling to other parts of the island such as Volcano National Park, Parker Ranch, the Kohala Coast, Waipio Valley, the towns of Kona, Hilo or Waimea, exploring or dining in the two local communities of Naalehu or Pahala, or just relaxing at home on the lanai, by the pool, or sitting in the hot tub at night looking at the stars in the crystal clear black sky, you can be as busy or relaxed as you choose! The daily tradewinds, the world-famous Punalu`u Black Sand Beach (home of the protected Hawaiian green sea turtle), and the many historical sights which abound in the area, make this one of the most special places of Old Hawaii.

REVIEWS:

Tim - April 2021 - Wonderful complex and great unit with beautiful views to wake up to. Very beautifully decorated and stocked with extra things you might need like towels, blankets, and kitchen items. We found the place to be as described on Airbnd, very clean, and quiet. Amazing spot to star gaze on a clear night, we were totally in awe."

Janice - Mar 2021 - Great views and a nice quiet location. We loved every moment of our getaway.

Kathryn - 2/8/18  Situated between Kona and Hilo, away from tourists and commercialism, this is a great condo. Looking past the green golf course from the back patio is the beautiful blue of the Pacific. You can hear the waves crashing against the rock, which was so incredibly relaxing at night. Depending on how fast you walk, Black Sands Beach is just 5 minutes away and each time we visited, we were awed by the sea turtles that bask in the sun on the black sand. Although the waves were too rough for us to snorkel or swim (we were there in January), there is a lifeguard for others who are more experienced and daring. The condo was what we expected and was clean and had all basic kitchen and bathroom needs. The one bedroom is spacious with an adjacent bathroom, and the only bathroom in the condo. It was also nice to have access to the condo's washer and dryer and traveling with kids is dirty business! My younger son and I slept on the pull out sofa bed and found it to be not only easy to pull out and put back, but surprising comfortable. Plus, sleeping on the sofa bed meant that we were closer to the sounds of the crashing waves against the rock...not a bad exchange for an actual bed at all! We did not use the pool but it looked inviting. The grounds were kept clean and the office staff was friendly and helpful. Although I'd make sure you keep all doors closed due to uninvited bugs, sitting out on the patio made for some adorable guests. Tiny birds littered the green grass while the occasional gecko or two would casually scamper by. If you're into hiking, I'd also recommend taking a drive to Green Beach's parking lot (about a 20-25 minute drive away) and taking a gorgeous 5.5 mile round trip hike along the ocean before reaching Green Beach. Even if you're not into the hike, the locals are waiting to take people to the beach's cliff area (you have to walk down a steep hill to get to the actual beach) in their 4X4's for a fee (not sure how much since we didn't do it). However, be warned--there are no bathroom AT the parking lot or the hike or Green Beach. There were also no garbage cans that we could find, so just be aware. On your way out of the parking lot, just before highway 11, don't forget to stop at Hawaii's Local Buzz "farm". You can sample and buy delicious locally made coffees & seasoned or chocolate covered macadamia nuts, get water, and perhaps more importantly, meet their super cute tropical birds! There is also a deli/ice cream/souvenir store not far from the condo that professes to be located at the most southern tip of the US. You can sit outside and eat or take your food to the beach, as we did. As I said before, this condo is a great...

Leah - April 2018 - “The Colony onr beach front condos, are a private piece of paradise. Only about 30 minutes from Volcano park. We explored the park all morning, went back to swim at the black sand beach all afternoon and saw a ton of turtles, and then drove back to see the red glow of the volcano at night. The community is beautiful with breathtaking views in a completely undeveloped area. We live in the landlocked midwest so we wanted to stay near water and not in Volcano Village while we visited the National Park. This place was perfect. We loved the pool and the hot tub.
