The size was a little small for 4 people. We weren’t there long so we managed. Available Parking spots were not easy to get near the condo. Also I was missed that there were stairs in the condo. The location was a bit of a drive to some sites. The condo property was landscaped very nicely and was very close to the ocean, Black Sand & a delicious bakery.

Great location and well equipped unit

Our stay at the turtle hut condo was magnificent. The location of the unit is well positioned as a home base for drives to the volcano and drive to Kona/Capitan cook for day trips. The walk to punalu'u beach is easy and the beach is stunning. The unit is well equipped with cooking supplies, just make sure to bring groceries from Kona or Hilo beforehand. The unit's pool has a great view and bbq area! The bed was firm and comfortable. As expected in a tropical area there are some bugs so make sure to use the screen doors when opening the doors!The host provided clear instructions on check in and check out and she was very responsive to questions.

Super close to black sand beach with "Old Hawaii" style feel

Clean unit, Old Hawaii style complex, grounds are well kept with pretty flowers and palms, coastal ocean view from this units ground floor lanai...pool has coastal view too. Feels private most of the time.Unit has 2 units above and one on side...if your neighbors are noisy at night you are going to hear them...needs some kind of sound deadening for the ceiling.

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.

Ok so first the positives. It is a very cute place within walking distance to the Black Sand Beach. It is in a quite rental community and there really is value for the money as there are limited options on that side of the Island. The views from the back porch are beautiful. The listing was very clear that it was very small and had no AC but fans an a breeze from open sliding doors would be sufficient to cool the rental. In theory that was great. Now I understand living in a tropical environment attracts bugs and in the listing, they do tell you they spray frequently but we did see roaches. I understand we came at time where there was an unusual amount of rainfall but that was a bit off-putting. If that was the only issue they would have gotten a much higher review. However, to cool the unit you do in fact need to open the glass sliding doors and turn on a fan which is fine. The issue is however that there are holes in the screen doors-you can see where someone put masking tape and bugs come into the unit. They were crawling all over us while sleeping. We gave up and turned on a light at the entrance to try to drawl them away so we could sleep peacefully. By morning there were dead bugs in the bathroom, by the bed and all over the stairs. There were so many that they were nearly a full dustpan full of dead bugs. We did tell the host and sent videos showing the bugs so they could perhaps resolve the issue for the next guest but we never heard back

It was an excellent location, near the Volcanoes Park where we wanted to see an eruption event. The black sand beach in walking distance with turtles sunning was great.

Excellent and very low key, chill, vacation mode style. If you are looking for a nice get away this is the place to stay. The property managers are full of aloha and the facility is beautiful

Nice condo but isolated community

The condo itself the pool area and the property we enjoyed but this location is very isolated from everything, 15min drive to closest town. I was not aware that the condos here was literally the only thing around but the beach. Not bad for a short stay but be prepared with everything you need for a few days before you go.

Perfect location

We love staying in Punaluu every time we come back to visit family in Pahala since it’s a short 10 minute drive. The location is great if you’re looking to get away from the cities. Communication with the property manager was great and we were very pleased with this specific condo for its location and amenities. Definitely will look at staying here again in the future!

Quiet getaway

I loved how close to the turtle beach it is. Snorkeled with turtles every day. It is a small unit but well layed out and has everything you need to be comfortable. Space is a little tight for 4 but would be perfect for 2 and can stretch to 3. We enjoyed exploring South point and volcanoes np. I would highly recommend if you want a slow paced and quiet getaway.

Big Island Adventures

Property was really nice. Condo was well maintained. Grounds were immaculate. It's next to a golf course, but the golf course is closed. That is the only negative about it.

Very Disappointed with our weekend away

We arrived to this condo with high hopes of a lovely weekend away for my husband's birthday. First we were told that we had the dates wrong--we weren't due in til tomorrow. After going back and forth for a while the manager finally admitted they must have copied the dates wrong into their separate calendar. No apologies though. Then we were mortified to find that the adjoining condo was going through a renovation. We were assaulted with the sound of pounding hammers, power tools and a loud radio for the construction workers. A large truck with a trailer was parked right out our door where they dragged cabinets and debris from the wreckage. We called Julie, the host and she told us we needed to take our complaints to the resident manager up the road. No offer to call to sort things out for us. No apologies. We didn't want to be confrontational in person so we just gave up and suffered through a noisy weekend. This property should not be rented during this renovation and the lack of care from the manager was very disappointing.
