We stayed at Julie's place for 5 days and it was a wonderful experience! The condo is located very close to the Punalulu black sand beach where you can see lots of Hawaiian green sea turtles. It is also a 30-minute drive to the volcanoes national park which was very convenient for us to do couple of hikes. The place is very peaceful, quiet and you can hear the sound of waves crashing. Only issue was that there aren't any restaurants close by so you have to make dinner plans accordingly. There is no air conditioning in the condo but we didn't need it as the sea breeze was cool enough. We would love to come back and stay here again!
