Great view for this unit. Quiet and relaxing Lani. The grounds are super maintained, pool and hot tub. Unit is as described, comfortable bed and everything you need is provided. I would recommend and would stay there again.
We enjoyed a relaxing few days here with easy access to one of our favorite beaches on the island. The condo was very clean and comfortable.

WYSIWYG
This is a great location for launching to the east side of the big island. Not many restaurants close by so prepare to do most of your own cooking.Pool and hot tub on site were excellent, and the short walk/drive to the black sand beach was its best selling point.So… these condos/casitas/ohanas were built in 1976, snd there are some of those touches still in place in this unit. Largest one is that the walls are transmissive to sound from the neighboring unit. Otherwise a great stay!

Paper products
Everything was as listed…except for not having enough paper products. A person in my party was on the tail end of a cold when checking in and when I asked for more toilet paper, the owner would not deliver. For several days, we had one small roll of paper towels, 2.5 rolls of toilet paper (group of 3, one with a cold) and zero boxes of Kleenex. Plus, the owner wanted her guests to do half the laundry and empty all the trashes, even though her cleaning lady (which we paid a fee for) was scheduled to arrive as soon as we left. Paper products should be available as guests need it, especially in such a remote area. The owner’s response was, “I’m not going to give an endless supply of paper products.” Not professional in our opinion.

Beautiful Location
We loved our stay here. This particular unit has one of the best locations on the property with a direct view of the ocean. We saw many whales right offshore from our unit!
The location near the black sand beach was fantastic and we loved the ocean and turtles. It is a quiet and peaceful place to visit.
The unit was very comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed and was perfect for a quiet getaway.

War bestimmt mal toll
Anlage gut, Einheit pflegebedürftig, aber schöner Blick, Umgebung hat schon bessere Zeiten erlebt (verlassener Golfplatz und Gebäude).
