Good for a couple days

The grounds are beautiful. No one helped with checkin couldn’t find #71. Didn’t know where to park. There wasn’t as much airflow as described. Really stuffy/hot sweating. The bed was hard, the couch really needs to be replaced. The loungers at the pool were chained together one facing the pool, one facing the other way. Couldn’t move any more than a couple inches. Very strange. There really is nothing around the area. The condo was clean and kitchen stocked.

Beautiful Hawaii

We had a great time at Punalu’u. Close to Volcanoes National Park. Walked to Black Sand Beach easily. The rental provided a few beach towels, chairs, floaties, and cooler. The place was clean and nice. It was slightly small for 4 of us but we only stayed a few days and weren’t inside much. The sofa bed was a bit better than it looks. Probably not for adults but worked for two kids! Kitchen was well equipped, we could make what we needed. It was truly a beautiful “condo” complex, well maintained. There’s laundry on site if needed via an app to pay. We would stay there again! My big recommendation is if you are sensitive to light while sleeping, bring an eye mask. The complex has many outdoor lights on all night and the usual LED lights on all appliances, TVs in the unit. I do recommend this place!

Nice hikes just to the south

From snorkeling with turtles to hiking the southern coast line and visiting Valcano NP. This makes a base camp for the southern island.

Best vacation ever

Chose this location because we wanted to be close to Volcanoes National Park and have beach and pool access. This was the best vacation we’ve ever had. Loved seeing the turtles every day at Punalu’u beach. Kilauea started erupting our first morning so we made several visits to the park, even before sunrise to get the best view of the lava lake. Relatively short drives to Hilo for a helicopter tour of the volcanoes and hiking to Papakolea beach. The pool and hot tub were a great way to end our days, using the grill and chatting with others about their days. The pool is locked at 9:00 pm so there were never any worries about noise. This condo was everything our family of 3 needed and more. Everything was easy to find. Well stocked, conveniently close to the pool with a view of the ocean from the lanai. The unit was clean and extremely comfortable. Comfy bed and pillows. Fans were perfectly positioned and kept us cool every night. Loved this place. Loved our vacation.

Relaxing getaway

I appreciated being away from the bustle of some of the more populated areas. I recommend showing up with food to prepare, as I did, because stores and restaurants are a bit of a drive. The property is beautiful.
