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!
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!
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 wasnât 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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
We absolutely loved our visit to the big island. Our accommodations were great. The owners have amenities such as beach gear and kitchen staples that are available. The only disadvantage to this property is its location being an hour away from any major town in either direction. Bring food! There are limited places to eat as well within a close driving distance. HOWEVER, the volcano park is fairly close, 30 minute ride and we visited several times including a night visit to see the active volcano. In order to circumnavigate the island, we made reservations for another hotel for one night in order to see the other sights in the northwest corner of the island. However, this place is a bargain compared to other places, well kept, and large enough for a couple to enjoy.
Les points faibles : Emplacement et exactitude de lâannonce
Nice unit but needs some attention.
This unit is definitely in a remote spot. Shower never got hot, emailed owner to be given a reason then see a review from last month of same problem which to me means, owner ignored it! Please don't see washer/dryer as a bonus, dryer doesn't dry so you are left with hanging clothes to dry all around (dryer vent is clogged). Unit needs some TLC.
The location seemed pretty good, but weather on this side is quite windy and rains a lot more. The place itself was nice and roomy, but the furniture in living room is more like outdoor patio furniture. Not comfortable at all. The shower gets just slightly warm, so you could not take a bath for sure. Lastly, the snorkel equipment provided are like toy quality (super hard plastic and not very practical for an adult for sure). Other places we stayed at had high quality snorkeling equipment.
If you are going to stay at this resort, I would recommend finding another unit in this resort, as location is nice for day trips to north east side of island. And definitely make it into town for the donuts at the local bakery!
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!
