Cozy Ocean View Condo - Great Pool & Short Walk to Punalu'u Beach

Aloha and welcome to your Hawaiian escape

If you're craving true serenity, come discover Kaʻū—the Big Island’s largest district and its most peaceful. With the smallest population and the richest sense of “Old Hawaii,” Kaʻū invites you to unplug, unwind, and reconnect with what matters.

Here, time slows. Trade the rush for rhythm. Swim on our famous black beach, explore untouched landscapes and let the island’s spirit restore yours.

Whether you're stargazing under velvet skies or sipping coffee grown just down the road, this is your invitation to simply be.

Why Guests Love Our Place:

Uncrowded adventure: ideal for travelers seeking serenity, nature, and the real Hawaii

•Updated interior: new textiles, lighting, quartz counters, and a stylish tile backsplash.
•Ocean views: enjoy sweeping views from both the condo and oversized ground-floor lanai
•Cozy comfort: thoughtful layout with a queen bed and generous storage to feel at home.
•Outdoor living: lanai with ceiling fan feels like an extra room for breezy island relaxation.
•Resort amenities: pool, hot tub, grills, tropical gardens, and manicured grounds.
•Real kitchen for real stays: full-size fridge, electric stove/oven, microwave, and extra counter space.
•Beach gear included: chairs, towels, and snorkel equipment ready for your adventures.

Smart setup: high-speed WiFi, Smart TV, HDMI connection, and free parking

Legal and permitted: our unit is fully permitted by the County of Hawaii—peace of mind guaranteed.

Exceptional value: ocean-view hotel rooms average $385–$700+ per night. Our condo? Less than half that—and we have the view.

A Note on Climate Control: There is NO air conditioning or heat in the unit—just like most homes in this region. With three ceiling fans and generous Hawaiian louver windows, natural ventilation keeps things comfortable. If A/C is a must-have, we may not be the right fit.

Our ocean-view condo offers the perfect base for exploring the Big Island’s most untouched and authentic region—Kaʻū. Nestled in a rural location near the #1 black sand beach park and just 30 minutes from Volcanoes National Park, this is Hawaii as it was meant to be: quiet, wild, and soul-restoring.

Everything was just as advertised and was a great place to stay. Only problem was that the condo didn't get much breeze that came through and didn't cool off at night as much as we would have liked. The over head fans did help but being from the PNW it was very warm for sleeping. Other than the place was cute and perfect for our stay.

Our stay was wonderful. All communication with Tom was quick, clear, and concise. He even kept in touch with us during the nearby Volcano activity and Kona low storm - letting us know what to expect and tips to protect our rental car from any ash fallout. Upon immediate entry, it was obvious that the condo has been well taken care of and was spectacularly clean. It is small but with the decor and amenities, it feels open and so comfortable - I can't imagine needing anything else for our stay. The condo grounds are very neat and well kept. Extremely quiet. The location was interesting in amongst an abandoned (?) golf course so there was nothing else around. A ten minute walk to the Black Sand Beach - which feels like a episode out of Gilligan's Island. The nearby towns, Naalehu and Pahala have VERY limited groceries - so definitely do your food shopping before your stay. We look forward to our next visit to the area and staying at this condo. Thanks Thomas.

This was a very clean and comfortable location, near the black sand beach on the Big Island. Not near any shopping centers or full grocery stores as you might be use too, but we stopped at a Costco on the way out to the home and stocked up with supplies so we never felt in need of anything. We stayed there for part of our stay in order to enjoy the seclusion and peacefulness. Then spent the last 3 days in Kona ...to "re-acclimate" to the city life. Overall a very good vacation.

The stay was wonderful in every way! The location is ideal for exploring Volcanoes National Park, but it's also not far from other great day-trip options and the black sand beach. The space is perfect for two people; the kitchen is well-stocked if you want to cook, and there are extras like a cooler and snorkeling gear for exploring the water. Would definitely stay here again!!

Panalu’u Beach Condo Paradise

My husband and I felt this property was the perfect fit. It was peaceful and scenic. The condo had a delightful ocean view and you could hear the waves crashing on the lava shores. It had a great layout, nice decor, a super comfortable bed and was very well equipped. The pool and hot tub were also great. The hosts, Tom and Christen were quite helpful.

This was a perfect choice for us. Clean, comfortable, beautiful, quiet. While no A/C could have been an issue we were not inconvenienced by it. The surrounding area was not a metropolis but presented us with some exquisitely gorgeous beauty. We enjoyed Ka’u Coffee Company and took a meandering drive down the road it was located on. It was like entering a botanical garden. Utterly gorgeous!I totally recommend this condo for comfort, views and ease of booking. Kitchen space and utensils for cooking. You won’t be disappointed if you should choose to stay here.

The room and pool area was clean. The laundry room and outside of the property were not clean. There were several soda cans around the property which we picked up. The amenities are bare, 1 towel per person for the entire stay or do the laundry for a clean towel each day. I'm not doing that on vacation. As you walk to the beach theres homeless people living along the road which surprised me. Its actually an abandoned golf course resort. Looks like at one time it may have been a much more beautiful place.

Nice condo with ocean view

Very nice property in small, quiet, well-maintained development. Condo was clean, nicely furnished and well equipped, with small outdoor patio with ocean view. Development has a pool and lovely hot tub overlooking the ocean. Not many amenities (shops, restaurants) in the surrounding area, but convenient for Volcano National Park and exploring the less developed areas of Hawaii big island. Great escape from the Seattle winter!
