We had an absolutely fantastic time in Sam's apartment and absolutely loved the SeaMountain condo colony. The apartment has great views and outdoor lanai. It has everything we needed to cook (all the pans and pots) and a great open plan kitchen. We enjoyed going to the pool and lava rock jacuzzi in the evenings; a great way to meet locals and other guests and enquire about top tips! The beautiful Black Sand Beach is only a 5 Minute walk away and we often came here to see the turtles. We have been to the more touristy Kona side of the island before, but absolutely loved the peace and quiet of the South side. It also allowed us to explore natural wonders that we missed before (the green sand beach at South point or the waterfalls on the Hilo side to name just a few). Highly recommend a stay at Sam's apartment!
