Great location to Punalu'u Beach (5-minute walk) and to Kilauea Volcano (35-minute drive). However, if you are expecting to sit on the lanai and relax and watch and listen to the ocean, please note that the majority of your view is of the neighboring condo buildings and that because these units do not have air conditioning, everyone's windows and doors are open and you can hear all of your neighbor's conversations. In addition, because this is a downstairs unit, you can hear the upstairs neighbors whenever they walk, take a shower, etc. It may have been worse since I was there over a weekend (Sat-Mon), but I had to sleep with earplugs and was unable to find any peace & quiet at the unit during the day. All that being said, the hosts were extremely helpful, the kitchen had everything you would need (there aren't any restaurants nearby), and even without air conditioning, the trade winds kept the unit cool enough at night to sleep. Was even able to see the Milky Way from the grassy area right behind the unit about 2 hours after sunset, a very beautiful location!
