About this property

Now you've found your perfect vacation spot...Formerly known as “The Turtle Hut,” his beautiful one-bedroom light and airy unit is located in the more secluded and peaceful section of Sea Mountain Resort at Punalu'u Black Sand Beach. Stay on your private lanai and enjoy the ocean views and sunrises. Or, take a short walk to the world famous Black Sand Beach, where the protected green sea turtles can be seen in their natural habitat. A few steps further leads you along the ancient Ala Kahakai Trail fronting our resort and beyond, to discover petroglyphs and heiaus dating back to pre-contact times along the rugged coastline, all without ever having to get in your car! When you do venture out with your vehicle, we are ideally located between Kailua-Kona and Hilo, making day trips to either side of the island's attractions easy, and dining in the two local communities of Naalehu or Pahala a breeze. We're also only a short half hour drive to Volcanoes National Park and its awesome eruption shows. A short drive takes you to Papakolea, our incredible GREEN Sands Beach, or tour nearby Kula Kai Caverns in Ocean View, South Point, and Wood Valley.

The unit itself features a comfy king bed, a pull-out sofa with a queen-sized quality mattress, a spacious bathroom with shower and a well-stocked kitchen. It is also equipped with beach chairs and towels, umbrella, aqua socks and quality snorkel sets. We have earned more FIVE STAR ratings than any other listing in our resort, or our district!

Enjoy our outstanding LOCATION, fantastic AMENITIES and surprising affordability for a top-rated resort in paradise! There’s also high-speed internet and Wi-Fi, and unlimited on-demand TV programming. If you want to experience a more authentic Hawaii, while still enjoying modern amenities and the comforts of home, this is your spot.

Serene...peaceful...secluded...oasis...historic...natural.... are apt descriptors for this wonderful “Home Away from Home,” that many of our guests return to year after year!

Black Sand Beach Condo

You have to go down a flight of steps to enter the condo which could be a challenge carrying luggage. The internet did not work until Julie came to the rescue with the updated Wi-Fi information. Thank you again Julie! The condo was small, but conveniently located and adequately equipped.

Didn’t meet expectations

The good: great spot for bird watching, the complex is well maintained with pretty gardens, staff onsite (although not affiliated with this booking) are very friendly and helpful. The unfortunate: was given an incorrect code for the front door, was given incorrect information for the internet, sound transfer from the upper unit is significant, there is a large population of unhoused people living on the beach/ green space between this complex and the shoreline and we weren’t sure about overall security. Also, this unit is on the basement floor in a tropical area, so expect insects.
