We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was perfect for the two of us, and it could have accommodated two children without feeling crowded. The kitchen was thoughtfully equipped and stocked with spices/condiments. The in-unit laundry was much appreciated, and there were plenty of towels for the beach and for showers. The lanai is very spacious, and we enjoyed our peek-a-boo views of the ocean while enjoying a glass of wine in the evenings.
The location is off the beaten path, which was lovely. The black sand beach was an easy walk from the condo. We also enjoyed the nearby fish ponds at Whittington Park, as well as the baked goods, coffee, and burgers at the Punalu'u Bake Shop in Na'alehu. It does take about 45 minutes to get to the main unit of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, about 40 minutes to South Point, and about 20 minutes to the lesser known Kahuku Unit of HVNP.
We would definitely return!
